Most noticeable thing: The bright colors, shiny bodies, and unique blocky-but-slippery look. There are a lot of 90's nods in your art that make it really one of a kind without seeming too derivative. I appreciate how it's evolved over the years too!

Ahaha yeahhh, what can I say. I am glad people like the shiny colors ‘cause it looks like that will be part of my art always. All due to anime influence, my favorite colorists also being rather shiny (ie Shirow and Robaato), and… no point in denying it… my fetish.

My current coloring style wasn’t intended to be shiny, oddly enough. I just started going with the technique where I sorta shade in reverse, by adding a multiply layer where EVERYTHING is shaded, then I go in with the transparent brush and un-shade the parts the light source is supposed to be hitting. This approach does result in a more glossy look in the end.

Basically it’s so ingrained in me, I’ll do it without trying, apparently.

When I really work at it, it’s stupidly ridiculous these days. You shoulda seen how long it took me to color the two dudes in the Polly comic… holey moley
