Just wanted to thank you for being part in aiding me out of a painstakingly long artistic funk! Watching you and modmad work back and forth on collaborations and character design/development has given me new ideas and perspectives that have really re-kindled inspiration! Good luck with upcoming finals, heaven knows we all need it... [P.S. Your vocabulary is stu-pen-dous, the world needs more people who utilize that. Thank you! (/'o')/ ~♥ ]
I am so elated to hear that someone can get out of an inspirational/artistic funk due to something of my doing! It's always the worst to stumble into a pit of de-motivation. I hope that the creative endeavors we're ping-ponging back and forth, kindles you for awhile :^)! Also, my utilization of vocabulary is tremendously ridiculous, what are you speaking of.
I barely know anything about Magnus and I already ship him with RGB. Look what you've made me ship. I ship enough things already. I want to cry and throw a party at the same time
I’ve got the perfect solution to your dilemma!
Don’t forget to bring your Kleenex.
I've been offline a lot lately and to come back and see you as burnt out as you say, I just hope you're doing better now ;w; maybe once I get back, I'll throw some fan art at you idk if that would help .-.
That's so sweet of you! You don't have to do anything for me at all. When I post about my own struggles, I pretty much only expect myself to resolve them, but I am certainly doing better now though, even while still fairly busy- thank you!
This might seem silly but what shape is Magnus's head? Sometimes it looks like it has a flat top and at other times it looks pointed.
This is not a silly question at all, I might have depicted his head’s shape a bit too ambiguously through my drawings, but geometrically his head is an inverted triangular pyramid, or rather, tetrahedron (meaning, triangular shape on all faces) He does have a flat top head. It only looks pointed sometimes because the perspective that the vertex is in, creates the illusion that it looks diamond-like. Magnus tends to look upwards a lot, due to generally being confident. Hopefully this will clear up any confusion!
We followed you because we love you!!
Don't know where you all are, but GLOBAL HUG
Hi, I was wondering if you had any tips in improving artwork (specifically choosing colors because that seems to be my largest struggle)? I need to start working on improving whatever I can while I can. Anything in general is useful to me, but colors are giving me a lot of trouble and I can't tell what I'm doing wrong D: If you have any suggestions, I'd be more than grateful to hear them.
For generally improving on your artwork. I would say practice combined to observation/studies is key. People can tell you “practice” on its standalone, but without any sort of reference point to aim for, it’s difficult to get better.
Some end up repetitively drawing the same things over and over within their comfort zone and claim it as practice, which is a somewhat fallacious interpretation of practice. To improve, you need to broaden your horizons, experiment, make yourself capable of drawing anything that is thrown at you, and not limit yourself-
Color picking can be a subjective thing. Objectively speaking there may be “better” ways to color something, if you meant trying to attain a palette that is more believable, settled closer to realism. But it is a complicated subject that I would end up doing a thesis paper on, since you did not give me a specific question.
I don’t think I can address your particular problem, of “What am I doing wrong?”, without actually looking at your art. So, you would have to show it.
I just found your [ESC] comic, and it is so amazing! I am eagerly awaiting the next update on it, I want to know more about Caeles and his backstory! I hope you're able to work on it soon, because it's very good. I adore you and your artwork, and the short animation you did of the heart transplant scene too! Honestly, I just enjoy all of your work! :D
?!!?! It makes me happy beyond belief that people are finding out about my comic and they’re enjoying what little I have of it and are curious about what happens next, even if it isn’t far, and that you enjoy all my work regardless of what I do. Thank you!! I will definitely get back to [ESC] when I shove more work projects off my plate! I just want to be able to focus on it better. :]
You know the little baby tv with a triangle mouth is very similar to your avatar. Be funny if there was a relation
Soooooo, now that we know what Magnus thinks about Hero... What does he think of Madras?
This was a tricky one to answer. I don’t think Magnus harbors any direct ill feeling towards Madras, Most likely, appreciates her snark, sense of humor. (Maybe he is a patron of The House of Paint.) Around her though, he would act as he usually would (well-mannered.), but with a touch of being more reserved/cold, probably because he is a bit jealous of her.
i love your RGB and Magnus shipping! ::3 I think they're so cute!!
AREN'T THEY? [looks longingly into heart-shaped locket, sobs]
(thank you :^) )
Hello good sir! I was going to make my own object head of more to say hi to your and Modmad's characters-it was going to be a computer monitor (more to make emoujis and stuff because body language is my bane) but seeing as your avatar/representation of yourself looks like a monitor (forgive me if it isn't) so I'm trying to think of another object-what about a mass of Neodymium magnetic balls?
My avatar is something of a paradoxical computer- a weird, anachronistic device of my own designation- I call it an “analog flatscreen”. It only displays images in black and white, even though the flat screen suggests a digital persuasion.
I quite like the idea of the Neodymium Magnet Balls, however, that is going to be hell to draw in different arrangements when depicting character interactions. Don’t make it so difficult on yourself!
What did Magnus do after the break up?
"Well, It's probably about time that I wake up from this long dream."
He probably traveled, far away somewhere, to reflect/get new experiences.
Sorry for bothering you with this silly question, but I am a bit confused about Magnus. I have assumed from the beginning that the front of his "face" would be the corner/edge and not the flat surface of one side. However I keep seeing fan-art where it seems as if they are making the flat side the front. Are they drawing him from the wrong angle or did I misinterpret your design? Sorry if my question was worded in a strange way, I tend to have a hard time describing things through writing.
It's not a silly question at all, I could understand you just fine. Your assumption that the front of Magnus's face is the edge/point, is a correct observation.
My decision for making it so, was to indicate the direction he was facing clearly. So, when you view him from the top perspective, combined with the additional visual clues of his body's direction, you would have a decent idea of which direction he is facing. (Think, a triangular arrow.)
The interpretations where his face is on a flat surface are not necessarily incorrect either though, perhaps he was just in a different mood that day and decided to rotate the boundaries of his viewpoint a bit.

Anonymous asked you:
If you don't mind, could you explain the powers Magnus has?
He has one particular talent he has always been known for. That talent, is the power to take something (situation, object, dilemma, etc) and amplify the effect of that.
As far as "magic" goes, he possesses some abilities that transcends and manipulates empirical properties of the universe. The most prevalent ones would involve shifting state of matter but he primarily works with liquid and light. I would explain more but I'm half awake right now, also some of it is material I'm saving for eventual Magnus comic.

hey so if someone (a hypothetical person, that is, certainly not me, this anon, right now) if someone had an oc (like just any old oc, maybe an object head, that they like a lot but they don't know if you'd be interested in seeing something like that) and they wanted to show it to you because they think you're cool or something, idk, um, would you want to see that, if this hypothetical person wanted to show it to you? Maybe? (This is embarrassing, I'm embarrassed. I'm so sorry.)
Yes. Don't be sorry.

I've been looking through your tumblr (up to page 22) and I swear I haven't gone past a page where I've snorted because something made me laugh (one of them made stop mid yawn lawl) but EVRYTHING IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY
I'm glad things I've made can squeeze a chuckle or two out of you >:^)
Anonymous asked you:
Hello, I am the anon that asked about Magnus earlier. I do need to make a tumblr account so I am no longer anonymous, but I am a procrastinator at heart.. and a bit shy lol :) I wanted to thank you for responding to my question. Hopefully I can find some free time in the near future to create some fan-art. Also, thank you for sharing your wonderful artwork with us. Your creative designs, beautiful use of color, and over-all illustrations give me inspiration to keep practicing. Best Wishes ~Chell
Thank you Chell! Hope you get around to making that Tumblr account.

Why is Magnus jealous of Madras?
SHE DATIN' THE RGB.

Anonymous asked you: Does Magnus know about RGB's negative side? Has he ever witnessed it?
GOOD QUESTION. Maybe.
Anonymous asked you: I'm sorry. But I really don't know what Magnus did to the teapot and teacup?
It's okay! He made the teapot/teacup into ceramic fluid, and the tea into an edible solid. (Switching state of matters, magic trick)
Anonymous asked you: What would Magnus look like with RGB's clothes? Would he like it? I imagine the pants would be a tad short on him, hehe.
The pants -would- be a bit short on him! Well, RGB's general stature is broader than Magnus's wiry one, so I think they would fit oddly on him.
Anonymous asked you:
But here's the real question, what if Magnus met Dial?
Anonymous asked you:
What does Magnus think of Dial (RGB's cousin)? He's a rather interesting character so I wonder how Magnus interacts with those type of people.
Well, to be completely and utterly honest,
Magnus would revel in his upbeat enthusiasm and energy. Just. bathe in it.
Anonymous asked you:
(distressed noises) magnus and rgb are really cute ok you don't realize how much it's 2:30 AM and it's hard to not squeal out loud that's how cute they are
This is an extremely late response, but my suggestion for you is to squeal into a pillow when the desire of producing elated audio strikes you at a post-midnight hour. Yes.
Anonymous asked you:
Human versions of the kids pretty please? If not it's fine.
Anonymous asked you:
I'd just like to see the kids get their little bodies and be excited about it. And RGB going "Great. Now they're tall enough to reach things."
I'm not even sure how these "children" even became a thing.... I wouldn't know what their human forms look like, so I hope "bodied" versions will suffice. It's probably not even possible for them to exist!

What about Magnus reaction to the children when he found them unclothed?
Well, he probably put clothes on them...
Anonymous asked you:
Aaaaggh I'm new to this and I only get enough of it to realize that it's SO COOL, so please help me... who is Magnus, what is he from? How are all of these characters related, exactly?
Magnus is an original character created by myself. If you're wondering about the related work (series, comic, etc), he has none right now. I just created him on a whim for an illustration prompt. I will do a standalone comic on him someday in the future.
I think I have only depicted him interacting with primarily TPoH (The Property of Hate) characters because people have wondered about his interactions with them, after Mod and I suggested that he and RGB (The TV man) have an interaction. That interaction, turned into them being established as former boyfriends.
Anonymous asked you:
Why did RGB and Magnus break up again? I mean they were so good together right?
As they're no longer together, there must have been something wrong in the relationship, particularly on RGB's side of it.
Anonymous asked you:

Anonymous asked you:
Considering how RGB tends to avoid things, I imagine Magnus was the one that confessed his feelings for him first. What do you think? And how would it go? I can't imagine Magnus getting overly flustered but it's a funny thought.
I believe you are right in thinking that.
This is what I think happened: RGB developed feelings for Magnus first, but Magnus was the one who asked him out when he discovered he liked RGB too.
M: I like you. Let's go out?
R: Excuse me? I suppose, maybe it would be a pleasure to-
M: I need a straight answer.
R: Well, I do like you, so presumably-
M: JUST TELL ME YES OR NO.
R: ....Yes.
M: SPLENDID. [claps hands, flowers and the like explode everywhere from behind him]

Anonymous asked you:
What emotion is Magnus displaying in Gamut? (It's vey lovely o3o)
Whenever he has internal light that looks like the inside of a plasma globe, It's supposed to be some form of, vehemence. (Thanks!)
Well, the thing is, his movements are fairly stationary/calculated when he performs, so he just focuses on his hands and what's close because he doesn't want to be distracted by outside elements.
He has a good idea just based on the volume/shape of light, of where things are. He does switch when he needs to.
(yes, he's wearing a cloak over a long coat, because he gets cold easily)
Happy Belated Holidays :^)

Anonymous said: May I ask, How's the progress for Galvan's THEORY voicebank and when exactly is the intended release day/month/year?
The progress is alright (it's at 2 pitches, 45-55% OTOed roughly) but at a standstill now due to it simply not being my current project (just a spontaneous thing I started on an whim). I'm really nitpicky about that particular voice bank and intend to re-record a fair number of strings due to not liking the tone in places, and add at least one more stronger pitch, some extra sounds. I might give it a beta or pre-release once the third pitch is added. (thinking late February/early March) Official release not sure, I never give myself exact release dates because I don't have time/energy to be strict on personal projects in my spare time.

Anonymous said: Humanized-RGB's eyebrows, to me personally, should be a different color than white, because it makes him look kinda older then he is
Tell that to Mod, I don't own RGB, lol. I think his white eyebrows are fine. I mean, (human) Magnus's entire head of hair is white, but no one seems to take issue with that.
