Hello your drawings are stunning can u plzz tell me that what r ur intrests in art ? Mine are coloring and do u do gestures before the drawing?

Hello, sorry for kept you waiting, I was busy recovering from my art month. Thank you for the questions and nice words! My main interest in art is to create something special, outstanding that can tear apart the pattern, at least mine. Also I am very sensitive to the colours selection and do spend really a lot of time polishing the right balance. I’ve never done any kind of gestures (I’m not even sure I know what are those xD).

‼️For all‼️

Thanks for being with me this month, your attention and support helped me a lot. During this time I understood a lot of things about drawing (and about myself too), grown as an artist and have changed a lot in general. Bunch of ideas popped in my head and I can’t wait. So I rate this experience as extremely positive. I am always glad for your reactions and comments, so keep going!😊

📌Also I have a question for everyone! I find it very satisfying to draw and share art everyday, but the works seem to be less accurate and powerful. So do you want it rarely but precisely or evenly?

Test

Yep, I see your ask. DOES that mean I PASSED the test? 😂😂

Ask me anytime, I am open to questions.

Not sure if I asked this question before, but are you open to the idea of art trades?

Have never been asked that question before, but as far as I understand, it is kinda like a commission exchange? I´m currently quite busy, but yeah I´d say it´s a why not? situation. if you´re still interested by then, try hitting me up around fall time

Thanks for getting in touch!!

Since Howl and Sophie have a son named Morgan in the books, it would be funny if little baby Morgan picked up some of Howl’s bird mannerisms. Like, imagine Sophie prepares to feed baby Morgan, and he does the baby bird thing where he just sits with his mouth open waiting for a spoonful of food.

I didn´t know they ended up having a child in the books ahaha. I kinda picture the baby as a human-bird hybrid . This hole theory reminds me of Sacred bodies comic by @sticksandsharks in which a bird like species is featured. There were a bunch of baby bird like creature stickers from that going around tumblr a while ago. They were super cute, that´s how I picture Morgan looking like.

I’m not sure if you still do Howl’s Moving Castle art, but imagine if Howl ended up getting soaked by rain in his bird form, and then when Sophie dries him off with a towel, he ends up poofing up and looking like a silkie chicken

Lol that´s a very good idea, I´d love to turn that into a short comic at some point, thank you for sharing it! it immediately made my brain go berserk, so much so that I scribbled a rough storyboard for it. It´s very rough and quality is trash, but it´s better than nothing. Reading order is left column of pannels down, then right one.

Merry Xmas!

Do you have any hobbies you like sharing?

Thank you so much for asking!

I have a couple hobbies that I’d like to share!

First and foremost is my most obvious one: drawing and art. I’ve been developing my skills for around 9 years and it’s been my main tool of expression. I mostly draw people and characters and even make my own OC’s (now that I mention it I really need to post more art stuff on here)

Secondly, I love to cook! Ever since I could remember I’ve been helping out with my mom and family in the kitchen. I give full credit to my mom for this hobby because I found that mixing different ingredients and spices are more of a creative science in a way. Sure I’m not like Gordon Ramsey or anything; I’d consider myself more of a home cook

Finally, I’ve been sort of dipping my toes into writing again. There’s nothing finished just yet, but if I do make anything I’d be more than happy to post it on my blog!

That’s pretty much the main stuff I can think of.

Sorry if this is overstepping but congrats on the baby!!!

not at all, I'm very happy! exactly 3 months old since yesterday (technically 2 adjusted) and since a few days they've finally started to socially smile. they're a joy. I am tired and all but I don't hate the newborn phase (tho I am more excited for the actual interactions now! I like to see them becoming aware)

when people say it's pure survival and not pleasant etc. I believe them, everyone's experience is different, but my baby is not the reason. (I have an easy one I'd say) what I find more annoying and exhausting is all of the people that are suddenly expert parents with 50 child psychology degrees trying to tell you what to do and what not. so I mostly really just stay inside for now except for the pediatrician visits

I rarely post selfship stuff (but there is... more than I ever made of paperhat actually) but here's one of those anyway

the dynamic is a lil fucked up and weird (it's pretty much like shipping Flug with himself) so idk if anyone's interested in that, just gonna use this as an opportunity to ask into the round

Hello! I just remembered i liked paperhat bc i was going thru old pics of mine and found my flug cosplay from like, ages ago lmao and i am in love with your art ♥️ that is all, thank you 🤣♥️♥️🤣♥️ just felt compelled to say it, continue with your day 😆😆😆♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thank you!

there's so many great Flug cosplays tbh... I wonder if I've seen yours before without knowing, my eyes are everywhere in the tiniest corners of this fandom nonstop since 2017 (hmmmm is smth I should get on too, I've been wanting to cosplay him since years)

appreciate you, here's a recent doodle anyway

Hallo, ich bin neu hier und Deutsch ist übrigens meine Muttersprache. Hatte Paperhat ein Fan-Kind?

wallah was für deutsch amk

woher kommst'n du min jung? sprichst ja einfach ultra hochdeutsch auf deiner seite alda schwede. musst ja net assi reden wie icke aber kannst locker machen mit mir

hörst du rap? hau ma paar in die kommentare dann könn' wa quatschen

joa schon, hab das gefühl das is woher dein name kommt. ick bin bissl sus grade idk.... hmmmm.............. hmmm.

Hey mate are you. Like. Still pregnant or have you had the child yet???? If so. YAYYYYY. Baby little human being. :3

Yeah! Feb 27th at 34 weeks. so they're already 2 months old💚 (time flies wtf)

a little early and nobody exactly knows why but I just got the crazy pains one day, when it got strong and consistent enough to make me worry I went to the hospital. they told me nothing's going on, it's nowhere strong enough... so I was sent home. and then I gave birth in my bathroom 4 hours later. (I love the healthcare system!!)

bc apparently that is not more painful than a chronic pain disease that I have. every month. since I was 16.

so I "didn't LOOK like I was in enough pain" I can handle a lot more than any human should be able to handle. (much like Flug. I have the "bizarre pain tolerance" superpower)

I made like 5 sketches for one of your asks and I'm still not done. I have so many ideas for it.

for now I'll show you this private commission I work on. I hope when I'm done I can say for who it is (it's insane)

(also in reality I can't handle ANY pain, I'm just also mentally ill and refuse to show "weakness" to people. the reflex to smile and stand up straight and act normal is so ingrained... it's a problem. so people never believe me when I say I suffer haha)

even more! >:3 if you could and thank you :)

more quantity of fat Flug drawings or more fat on him? (I can do both former is just harder with No Free Time lately)

Why do people claim ur art is theirs? And can u make more chubby fug pls?

I have 2k followers here and on insta, 24k on twt, it's inevitable. ig the shit is good and then it just happens automatically, mfs repost your shit, trace it, sell it, I entirely gave up on giving a fuck and just focus on making more art

I have. a very faint hunch who you are. just a smidgen. and if I'm right I think the attempts get ridiculous, but still not YET enough for me to block bc I wanna see where this goes.

call me paranoid but I feel like over the years online (including multiple cyberstalking incidents) I developed a sense for figuring out who someone is out of the "energy+quirks" how they type once I've observed it a few times. so even if alt/anon accs are used, I can catch it.

I don't wanna come at you too strongly but that is... how do I say it as kindly as possible...

a lowkey stupid thing to ask.

just lowkey.

very low🤏🏻

bc I mean. why do people steal art

...not like that is THE most common event for any artist ever online since the birth of the internet. the least surprising thing you can encounter.

without also sounding narcissistic... open your eyes. take one look at my art. it is at the very least mediocre. it gets a good amount of attention for SOME reason even if it was objectively garbage so people still like it enough to give it the time of day and anything that gets any attention is bound to be stolen.

I do not know why people do that. I don't steal art, never have. have you? I believe you have. if I'm not mistaken. so why did you claim my art?¹ hmm?

but by using logic we can surmise that people most likely want attention and praise without doing anything of their own and get their 3 minutes of the lil meaningless digital hearts popping on the screen.

I apologize for unloading this on you rn I just think it's a nice opportunity to talk about it bc I am... BAFFLED.

you do not wanna know what is happening in my ask box. idk if that is normal. but wow.

yk some questions are just................ can you not answer that yourself? genuinely?

by this point when I read any question that starts with "why..." I know I am in for some dumb Captain Obvious shit.

a question I get a lot for example is "why do you draw Flug fat"

ok now sit down for a second please, stay with me on this one.

let's use our brain meats.

what could possibly be the answer here?

I'll break the magician's code

...it is PROBABLY because............... the artist likes it.

shockingly. they just want to draw that shit.

there's no deeper reason idk what in tarnation you expect here.

"good question actually I absolutely hate drawing this shit in reality I am forced to make this art at gunpoint or they'll waterboard my cat in the toilet bowl and sell my first born to the mafia please send help"

...guys I need to confess something to you...

I was diagnosed with terminal yaoi brain cancer and the only way to prolong my life is to draw fat Flug. the secret is out. there you have it.

like what do you wanna hear

no writer or artist is gonna unpack a complex life-changing sob story for you Why they draw their fav character in assless chaps all the time. it is almost always "because I like it." or "because I look/behave like that."

why do you wonder about that in the first place.

are you judging? why so? if you don't like certain content... you can ignore it.

trust me that if you don't understand or enjoy it, someone else's explanation why they do won't fundamentally change anything in you.

and it doesn't end there. this goes on.

"why do you draw paperhat so much?" "why do you draw Flug pregnant?" "why do you draw Flug trans?"

and not just once. no no. asks like this sit in my inbox en mass.

I already don't answer most of them and don't plan to but the phenomenon will never not fascinate me.

how young are you mfs????? bc my account is monitored. I don't say which age to prevent people from lying. people have lied to me so damn often in the past, I found that it decreases drastically when there is no big taboo sign that says "*AGE*+ ONLY" I just silently check and block.

bc pointless "why..." questions usually come from younger individuals in my experience.

¹= you type just like user who traced my art and spammed me and as far as I was informed now they're very young which checks out with this ask as I just mentioned

I'll draw more fat Flug either way don't worry but I decided this won't be about this rn I just wanted to complain. I'm in Complaining Mood™ so we're gonna complain. it's complaining time o'clock up in dis bitch, baby

If you had the opportunity to rewrite dementia any way you wanted, what would you do?

that is a really good question! since I am having a bit of a hiccup warming up to her.

it's bc I require emotional depth for me to be interested in a character.

which I'm absolutely sure there is a lot of in her... but we've just not seen enough to work with. I like mentally disturbed characters that are struggling more outwardly, like Flug or Miss Heed. I think it's less of a writing flaw and more CN/Warner holding them back from releasing the stuff as it was roughly planned probably. maybe if we had the rest of the 1st season we'd already be much further in her character development.

there's core emotions that I NEED to see in a character to get hooked, which is fear, regret and grief.

none of which we've seen in her yet. nothing genuine that's not caused by the brainwash she stands under.

the most conflicting thing we've seen her do is having tears well up in her eyes after Flug hit her which didn't come off as physical pain, but emotional. that's interesting, but too short of a moment.

I feel like anything I'd "change" about her are things that are canonically planned, we just have to wait.

I think what's missing in her rn is self-awareness.

without her artificial obsession with Black Hat, she is nobody. maybe she'll have a crisis later about exactly that; not knowing who she is as a person. she should. if and when she snaps out of that she's wasted a large chunk of her life under his influence.

let's say it like that, if they don't start to show clearer signs of character development in the remaining S1 episodes, that's what I'd change. pick up the pace a bit. there's more obvious foreshadowing about literally every other character than about her. they really keep her backstory a secret.

there's so much to work with. why is her name Demencia? what's her real name? why did she arrive there "barefoot"? why is she better at math than Flug? why did she react so silenced when confronted with her mortality? was it fear? what does she truly fear? what or who is important to her outside of the hypnosis? does she have a real goal, for herself? smth must have led her to Black Hat... did he lure her or did she have such a terrible life before all this that she saw no other use to her existence than to turn to him?

you already know this drawing but I think I never posted it here

however I'd like to change 1 thing about her visual design for sure.

Please give her muscles. like... all the time.

I've criticized often before that I find the female characters in the show slowly drift too much into one and the same mould, their silhouettes are all the same, since Miss Heed; every relevant female character looks like her body type (...and some newer ones even in the face.) they could start diverting from that by giving Demencia muscles (not just in promo illustrations or closeup shots of her flexing, I feel like they could easily always draw a visible biceps on her)

that's not too hard to animate either, I mean they animated Sunblast and Airlock and that whole 5th episode, and it can't be harder than all the striped and spiked elements in Dem's design.

I'm sry for the inconvenient spamming of random things, I know who @lilblackhat is and he keeps using my account just to claim ur art is his. I'm very sry for my twin brother's doing and I'm also brand new here, plus u deserve better.

I'm having trouble believing that, "anon"

this sounds like an excuse I would have made in 6th grade. yk when you text your crush a confession and they don't answer or they reject you so you panic and pull out the "oh man I'm so sorry for that, that was my stupid brother oof what a dummy, I totally didn't mean to send that"

it's really not such a big deal, it's more entertaining than anything to me rn. I'll block when I've had enough

Since u drew Dr Flug as a catboy, what would happen if you made Black Hat a catboy? Plus ur amazing as fuck because the colors, small details and etc are perfect😍

brother

I think you like paper hat…but idk🤔/j

an astute observation anon

here's a warmup sketch that I will literally never touch again in any way

I wasn’t aware that an outfit for yandere stuff existed as someone who takes comms sometimes on the topic I’m aware of like the stare and expressions but an outfit?????

That’s the one most frequently changed thing in the genre. Someone asking for that would confuse the hell outta me

right!! I think I would have probably drawn Flug in Yuno Gasai's outfit (which is also a school girl uniform) since she's like... The OG yandere, she put yandere on the map. but that's more like. a reference. not a fashion style

Yandere Simulator definitely was also a big thing, but those are the most barebones standard japanese middle school(? highschool? uniforms. without weapon/blood and the demeanor it's got nothing to do with yanderes anymore.

technically I could draw Flug in his normal shirt and lab coat and just add some blood to the orientation video scene with him holding a syringe and being a psycho to one of his experiment victims. but make the dialogue creepy romantic/possessive and et voilà.

Flug already gives off yandere vibes with a few minor tweaks

also I'd LOVE to see that, I may not show it (by drawing it) but I love the concept of this dark toxic stuff. I just find it very hard to draw. I admit that complex, negative emotions and actions are my weakness in my artistic skills

Flug in a yandere outfit plz 🙏

No.

hi, I'm new here and u just inspired me by a lot of things. i scrolled through ur posts and saw a catboy flug, can u make Black Hat a catboy perhaps?

when you change your name it automatically changes in my ask box in old asks of y'all as well so this is not a good idea to try and trick me

thank you tho that's nice I'm happy I can do that

Can you please draw a chubby mr flug please! And thank you

a little more than chubby bc chubby is usually not enough for me, I need this man big and soft

sry, imma be gone from this forever...sry...

😢

what's wrong anon, context? am I missing something? I can be a little slow-

you better don't think to do anything stupid.

here

take this Flug, he has flowers for you. I'll be seeing you here again tomorrow I hope

Can u make Black Hat into a cat this time? It just randomly came into my mind😅

that is the best formulated one so I'm gonna answer this one and I wanna believe this is actually not all the same person but I need you to look at this please, stay with me for a second (it's really funny to me)

this is what my ask box looks like and I'm.

where is this coming from? are you guys from the Warriors fandom (god I remember that, 2012...)

is it because for some time I drew Flug with cat ears and tail? that's been a long time by now, I could bring it back but currently I can't even surmise out of these whether you want me to draw them as actual feral cats or just as catboys

I'm so confused about the high demand, out of nowhere

Edit: I found the thing I talk about in the tags

very old. Dem looks like a 2013 style warrior cats fanart on purpose

What would Black Hat and Dr. Flug look like as Imposters from among us

I wouldn't know how to draw that, I mean the game is a bunch of little beans without arms

but I appreciate you forming a sentence bc I got that exact request 3 times in much shorter versions and I do not know why it must sound so dire, isn't that from 2020, 21? does it have a resurgence in popularity? don't know if it's all the same person. I'm suspicious mmmh

Um were you talking requests a while back? If so, are there any rules or conditions that we should be aware of?

ok

a good rule of thumb is: if you try any more often than once, I'm not doing it (out of spite even if I thought that idea is fun but now I feel pressured and used, I'm not a machine after all! I sometimes feel like people speak to me like they throw a prompt into an AI) (also I'm stealing that idea and you'll never see it)

my askbox is pretty much always open and I receive a lot. I currently have 81 unanswered ones, to give you an idea. you see how often I actually have time to answer them and then I never do half-assed things bc I set my standards on myself too high so I usually include a doodle whether you asked for it or not bc I kinda just don't like to clog my blog with boring text-only posts.

it's actually unlikely...

but I always say it's worth a shot.

it's literally a gamble. (where you can try again with another prompt after a few weeks of a cooldown period so it doesn't feel like you're spamming and pushing me)

bc I am incapable of making smth messy and call it a day. you basically get a commission for free. bc I do not take commissions. that shit will be fully clean, rendered, maybe even an entire cluster comic page as I like to call them. I LOVE DOING THIS. I love to surprise people. to utterly flummox them. I specifically like to do art to make people happy, so I always swore to myself I would never take money for it. it stays a hobby and smth to spread joy with.

by keeping it a rare, by-chance occurrence it stays special.

you pay by being creative and kind + luck. my requests come closer to a raffle I guess.

I just do em when ADHD inspiration strikes me. since June of last year where I started paperhatober it's just. become MUCH slower. bc I REFUSE to give up. so my life has been on hold literally bc of that omg. I swear I will finish this.

I swear

I may not have finished highschool but I WILL finish this (it's personal. I will actually talk about it once I'm done)

so the smart move rn is to wait until the glorious day where I finish that god forsaken challenge... I can think of like 5 requests off the dome that I would be fire and flames for and perhaps I even have drafts somewhere but I can't get distracted yet...

also yeah literally any topic is ok but I do sometimes wonder why I get hardcore NSFW requests bc... brother. god knows I want to. but how do you expect me to post that onto The Censorship Site .com

foot note: yes, mutuals are prioritized. I follow like 20 people.

AUGGHHAAA i just scrolled thru like your entire blog just looking at flug...... i have been in love with him for like. seven years now??? and i just. GGRGRRERURGHRG YOUR FLUG ART IS SO PERFECT I'M SO OBSESSED

7 years??? like me?? omg I hear that rarely nowadays, another fandom dinosaur!!

Thank you, I'm happy I can provide

we spontaneously decided to renovate the apartment bc this entire household has unmedicated ADHD so I can't offer you anything more than this pixel art attempt (I didn't even try ngl there's no elbow grease put into this attempt)

I would just love to make a little side scroller game in this style but unfortunately I have zero to no intelligence when it comes to technology

Hey! I was wondering since you said that English isn’t your first language and all and the translation thing (Which is totally fine btw! I’m the same way) …

What is your first language? Sorry if this is like too personal, but I’m genuinely really curious!

Ich spreche normalerweise deutsch

Berliner/Sächsischer dialekt mix

my brain also gets confused bc I can speak a little bit of many languages. spanish namely, also simple french, dutch and japanese

paperhat in german would be eons better than in english, bc Flug has to use the formal "you" for Black Hat. and he would. he would (have to) continue even once they are together bc he probably demands it. Black Hat could use it for Flug (should, under normal circumstances of the rule) but most likely doesn't respect him enough for that. it strengthens the power imbalance soo much bc it is ALWAYS mutual irl.

this is indescribably ancient so it's really bad [the text is NSFWish]

commonly, only the older one can offer the informal "you" to another person. it would be high praise and trust to get the offer from your boss.

if your language doesn't have that layer of politeness you don't understand how much tension and power there is behind even a simple casual conversation, it's so appealing ughh (if you use it in a ship. bc you never use it in your private life, not even when you meet someone you date for the first time. it's just strange to use for a partner whether long-term or one-night. paperhat would be a quite unique case.)

do u write fanfics? i need to GOON 💔

damn brother, you just gonna come at me like that? alright I see you

that's a great question tho! I have indeed thought about writing a fic... for years tbh...

but there's a myriad of problems

well first of all I'm not native in english. that is probably noticeable more often than not. I sometimes even use a translator, I always secretly got google/dict.cc open in a second tab. didn't formally learn english, I just snagged it by proxy listening to American Youtubers and reading manga online. that's why I prefer to ramble a bit in public or to my damn self in private areas than live-texting 1 on 1/in groups; bc I can take more time totally judgement-free. you're gonna see me "typing..." for 30 minutes and wonder wtf is taking this mf so long?!

apart from that there's dyslexia. I can't spell one word correctly without swipe-to-type autocorrect. I think all arguments I've gotten into stem from me mistyping, using completely wrong words, messing up the sentence structure etc

my brain is a single dense cloud of fog that'll occasionally split open to drizzle down a bunch of jumbled thoughts that I could turn into barely cohesive words if I'm brave enough and exude copious amounts of energy.

so my linguistic skills are not up to par. my intelligence lies more in... intrapersonal and existential departments.

unsurprisingly I've thus become a visual artist to express myself.

the catch is... that I understand paperhat, I do.

but I can't seem to draw toxic dynamics. my head is just empty about how to depict it. it's like it doesn't come naturally to me. not without going overboard and making a whole comic that I would likely abandon before even reaching the half mark. I've been given these angelic skills along with the curse that I shall only draw joyous, bright scenes.

however if I could write it... now we're talking.

as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that most of my ideas are way too dark and sober. people don't know me like that so I'm petrified about the presumably shocked response when and if I did drop smth like that.

I'm not ready for that... I have really severe OCD (that the internet is making way worse with their anxious tendencies to interpret smth sinister into any and all fiction that is not happiness and rainbows. which seems new to me, idk where this mindset to read so deep into shit is suddenly coming from. I was here 2017-19, left for like 3 years and all of a sudden everybody's fallen off their rockers)

writing domestic stuff is too boring for me... there's gotta be gut-wrenching horrors and drama and tragedy and conflict!

none of this would be PG (which is what I assume you're asking for anyway) I'd just write smut with sprinkles of character studies and a pinch of comedy mayhaps, but I used to do that about 10 years ago and it was so bad. the way I describe these scenes comes off very plump and cringe

I... might. dip my toes into it later this year.

I'll drop a few ideas in the tags... maybe 2 ideas. very roughly. without spoilers, just in case.

these trannys man…

this ask is like. a year old. nearly. I remember which art prompted that.

I usually wouldn't answer that, but I gotta give it to you anon you've baffled me. I'm stumped. bamboozled even if you dare to go that far.

I just cannot for the life of me figure out if this is an attempt at insulting me / my art (keyword: attempt)

or if this is meant in good faith, like he's confused but he's got the spirit

is this disappointment? swooning? how am I supposed to read that, I need clear instructions on my desk by 12

either way I made art for you. because if this is approval then you'll be really happy about this. if this is disapproval then it's spite and you can suck my ass

what are your pronouns

she/he, if you must; they, but I prefer picking one or switching between she and he

if it makes any sense, I want strangers to use she and close people (mutuals and higher) are free to choose she or he. sometimes I may even prefer he by friends.

uncomfortable with they (unless you just don't know at the start) as there is no third option in my native language

it's a work in progress

Are we going to see demenica and 505 soon

highly unlikely, I don't care for anything other than Flug. Black Hat a little bit too.

Miss Heed perhaps? but I don't see enough in any other characters yet.

Masterpost for request status on Flug-unrelated things

I feel like atp I barely care for the canon cartoon at all, I just have a very strong fixation on Flug. I should really mention that. I have given up trying to stay in-character and basically use him like my OC. I would LIKE to move on and not be in fandom spaces anymore but sadly my autism does not let me. my brain just refuses; kicking and screaming; to be interested in a single other thing on earth than Flug since nearly 8 years.

it's insanity.

I have no NOTP or disliked dynamic, I will consume anything. paperlizard is cute. but it's a combination of me not being interested enough and others also not being interested enough so I feel it is not worth it to make this content rn. the fandom is ultra turbo dead.

I don't want massive attention -godspeed I don't- but an artist that doesn't get any response is a demotivated one. I know no one who is interested (enough) in these characters.

I would never make fanart of those characters alone¹, I couldn't get my unmedicated ADHD to focus on smth my heart doesn't 110% want to do from pure passion. I take no commissions, I don't draw for money.

you can basically expect to see one and the same thing for a decade straight from me

if I draw them in the future it will be heavily Flug-focused. HEAVILY.

(¹one exception is if a close friend of mine suddenly wants to see one of them)

so that's basically all you need to know! I don't consider myself a member of this fandom anymore since months
