Thank you for the ping !

I'd say a blobfish because they're funny looking xD

Thank you for the chance 💕

This adorable creature is a Binturong! They're also called bearcats though not related to bears or cats. These animals also smell like popcorn!! I'm in love!!

Thank you for holding this giveaway, what a cute idea. And, , thank you for the ping <3

My favorite animal is an Eastern Newt. I see them on my newspaper route all the time, especially after it rains. They are also on many walking paths and whenever I see one on either the road or the paths, I try to scoop them up and toss them gently back into the woods (their bright orange color helps me a lot). They are the cutest little buggers and I've saved a good amount in the past years.

Emily Carr is my favourite artist.

My favorite artist is my mother. She didn't start painting until she was in her 60's. She painted beautiful scenes but what people admired and bought most were her flowers, especially roses and Iris.

I've always enjoyed the art of Loish (Lois van Baarle), she inspired me a lot when I was starting out with digital art c:

Thank you so much for the gift. <3

Thank you very much for the game and the gifts!

Honestly, this is a really hard question. There are many visual artists I admire for their particular aesthetic choices, compositions, style and narratives, and many more that are meaningful to me in one way or another. After thinking a lot over the week, I chose one that I wouldn't call the favorite, but definitely one of my favorites: Ito Junji, horror mangaka and one of the most prominent artists of the genre in modern times (IMO at least!).

Mr. Ito's work is easily recognizable by the precise linework in black inky pen, noticeable greyscale shading and most of all the quality of handworked details, even in pictures that are grotesque. The human character design is usually simple yet familiar, even comfortable compared to the complex designs of monsters and creatures. Much of his art is dedicated to this contrast between the mundane and the terrifying, many times highlighting the innate fear or creepiness of everyday concepts. Perhaps one of my favorite parts of his work is how much awareness he has of both story progression and visual representation in manga format, as many of his most effective pictures are page-turners build-up to as the climax of both narrative and visual progression. His stories, despite the surreal atmosphere (I'd even call it nightmare-like) develop diverse themes such as belonging and social rejection, obsession, multiples studies on personal and societal guilt, the limits of human knowledge and the different relationships between art and artist. Oh, and he also adapted Frankenstein of Mary Shelley to manga!

Personally, as a big fan of both horror media as a whole and manga, I re-read most of Ito's work at least once a year!

Image from short story "The Whispering Woman", from the collection Fragments of Horror. It's one of the safest images to illustrate this style that I think I can post on Subeta.

This was such a hard choice to make! There are so many artists I love and admire, both classic and contemporary. It was very difficult to choose just one, but I believe I can tell you about one of my favorites: Akira Egawa!

I've been following their social media for the past couple of years now, and discovered them through their Fate/Grand Order fanarts. They're very passionate about a particular character named Karna, and he's the muse of like 90% of their non-professional artwork. I have a huge soft spot for artists that are clearly in love with a character and keep drawing them over and over for many years, I just think it's really sweet. But that's not the main reason I picked them (though it was a deciding factor hahahaha I love people that are passionate about their fictional meow meows).

There are many aspects of their work that I love a lot no matter the subject they create, especially regarding the posing, composition and colors! Their coloring style is just so distinctive and unique, detailed in this semi-realistic way that stands out a lot from the usual anime style and it's very vibrant. You can feel the colors popping out! They also use their coloring to add so much flow in the posing and overall composition as well, it's like they use it to guide your eyes. I'm a huge fan of colorful art styles, and Akira's stands out a lot to me, it's clear that they have this technique that is very particular to them. It makes their work easily recognizable!

Here's one of my favorite pieces from them. I love the fun summer vibe in this picture, it makes me want to join the characters 😄

And here's their portfolio, it's super worth checking out <3

Rothko

Though it may seem like an obvious answer, I will always have a passion for the works of Salvador Dali. He has experimented with many different types of art forms (best know I believe for his surrealism though) which has astonished me since the first one I saw. He had a way of telling a mind altering story with one painting. And the fact that some even give me goosebumps when I see them means that his art has done it’s job correctly by evoking some kind of emotional response.
