hiiii whenever you get this bc i know you're sort of ia but i'm actually obsessed with the sketches of chess players you did and then your style as a whole so i'd love love love to see more sketches of players at tournaments because i love your drawings so much :3

How many Hikarus are too many Hikarus? (With Fabi guest appearance)

Hi!!! It's the A81 phone screen background anon (still using them! Four years. They bring me so much joy). I know I'm early but I wanted to send well wishes for the new year.

I hope you're doing well. You have no obligation to post (and never do, this isn't about that), but since it's been a while I wanted to make sure that you're alright, and if not, I hope things look up soon.

As for my quest to be a better artist: I'm still far from your level of skill, but I'm much closer than I was! I'm way better at colour, for starters. Your work continues to inspire, and I hope that this year I can learn to work some of the lighting you're so brilliant with.

Take care, and thank you.

Hello, dear anon.

Thank you so much :'). I do not have sufficient skills to tell you how much you saying "you have no obligation to post" means - one of the reasons I do not post is because I feel like I HAVE to. Anyone who has ever been trapped in this paradox knows how hard it is to escape.

Past years have not treated me well, but I'm picking my life back up. I'm happy your art journey is going well! And even if sometimes you think it's not, it's good that it's going :'D. I follow many small artists and I am always amazed by people's progress. If you ever decide to share your art with me, I am curious to see it. If you don’t want to, there is no obligation, of course. You are an anon for a reason.

Here’s a wip that has been sitting on my tablet for 2 years, because I promised someone I will start posting again. Stay safe.

Hi there. Anon from last year. I'm still using your Blue and Yellow Archive 81 art as my phone lock and background: 3 years now!

Your work is so stunning, I am especially enamored with how you work with lighting in all regards and aspire to even a fraction of your skill someday.

I hope you are well, and thank you for sharing.

Rare things that have brought me joy this past year+some:

-chess memes -nft's crashing down to the deepest depths of hell where they belong (for legal reasons - arguable, but not with me) -nice people saying things like this out of nowhere

Please, dear anon, I'm not good at saying nice things back, but if you have a request for me, please do send it so i can draw something nice (or creepy knowing my art heh) for you. Anyone else is welcome to it too. I'm not in peril or desinterested, simply very apathetic at the moment, and I could use some prodding.

Она человек с обрубком воображения. Не то чтобы совсем без него, понимаешь? Не бездарность. Это и невыносимо.

My idea of escapism is sketching chess players while watching chess tournaments, and how much of a nerd are you?

Studies/sketches of survivalist manlymanmen from screenshots. For whatever reason the process is soooo relaxing for me.

#i dont know how to tag these #i know noone knows who these dudes are but i love them so deal with it #all three of these have a ref of course #i am only now realising that sergey has a lot of metal on him i love it #импровизация

I was commissioned to create a portrait of Suit... quite some time ago. (I a m s t i l l a s h a m e d b y h o w l o n g i t t o o k) So here’s my take on Suit + some thoughts on her design. I actually fell in love with this one a little :’)

may I completely rework her in like two weeks AS I ALWAYS DO WITH A81 CHARACTERS LIKE AN UNCERTAIN UNCOMMITAL MESS THAT I AM)

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I really like the Stamatin twins.

I've been using some of your a81 art (the blue/yellow/red trio) as my phone lock screen and background for almost 2 years now and I still have not gotten tired of looking at it. Your style and looks for the characters are SO good. Thanks for sharing your work with us

Thank you, anon.

I'm sorry for taking so long to respond - the last month has been, well, hell, and things are getting progressively worse. I'm only now regaining my strenght.

For what it's worth - your words mean a lot to me. It gives me hope that even though the world as I know it has fallen apart, I still have a capability to bring if not joy, then a spark of interest to someone's day.

To everyone - please don't hesitate to ask or dm me, I promise I won't take so long again to respond (unless they isolate us for good :') ). Human interaction is good for not going insane, I think. Here, have a Mark for your troubles :D! (I published him on twitter but not here, I think)
