Hi, same person from the last Werewolf AU ask, I LOVE little red riding hood iconography, and any fairytale iconography involving wolves, and the moment I read about this AU I was 1000% excited for it.

i’m happy to hear that! it’s a very interesting and flexible trope, and there are a lot of fun and unhinged ways to approach it.

i’m going to post some old little red art just for you! i hope you enjoy it.

hi the error message Darby on your site (specifically I’m talking about the “how did you get here! get out!” error message) is very cute. just thought you should know

THANK YOU… i thought it was really cute it’s actually from an unfinished comic where mallory catches darby having sex with her best friend (my friend’s oc emmy)… he sits them down at the table for a “talk” and darby is just crying her eyes out and apologizing profusely LMFAO

i hope there are no broken links but i’ll comb through it in a bit don’t ever get too cocky

Hi, love your art :D. In what kind of format is Domestication going to be told from? Is it going to be throught comics or interactive illustrations in your website? Do you have any concept art of it by any chance? Sorry if this is too much, I just have Darby brainrot …

i plan to present domestication as a web series/“user experience” hosted on my site. it will function like a webtoon but there will be animations and interactive elements, and my hope is to draw it at print size—god forbid anyone actually print it but i’d like that to be a possibility—and build it to be responsive and navigable by screen readers.

i think i have some doodles floating around somewhere but i’ll have to take a look. between irl and my website i haven’t had much time to sit down and actually put a lot of this to paper but as usual most of the work has been under the hood so far. incidentally i posted something close to Some Of It but i’ll put together a page of concept art when the time comes. :)

and no, it’s not too much at all i promise! feel free to ask any questions you’d like! i have darbitis and it’s terminal. i think about her every second of every day. she is my baby and i look forward to telling her story (and also drawing freaky shit whenever i have flare ups)

What program do you use? Do you sketch traditionally and then you scan it? Love your art btw :)

thank you for your kind words most of my art starts as traditional sketches that i edit in clip studio paint at which point i just render them out into line work and add colors.

i should post some side-by-side comparisons of my concept sketches and finished pieces at some point. i have dysgraphia so without pen stabilization i have to work really fast and loose, and i think that captures a really good energy but i worry it gets lost in the rendering. i hope you are still able to feel them

was Darby’s color palette being reminiscent of the agender flag an intentional design choice or just a fitting coincidence? Either way, I adore it— it’s lovely and striking.

it was a happy accident she was always designed as agender though, i like to imagine mallory lets her style herself freely but in a very clumsy “i don’t get it but i support you” kind of way.

she switches between darby, daphne and dante as she likes and uses she/any pronouns. from there i draw her with whatever presentation or physical characteristics i’m feeling at the time + a fat ass
