procreatewhere did you get the splatoon fonts?
decipher.ink/#/fonts :)are your comms open?
probably. i reopen every 1-2 weeks, working on 3-4 pieces at a time. refer to the queue.can you give me art tips?
i can't take the time to give everyone guidance for free. however, i occasionally draw live on yt where i teach mini lessons and viewers can ask questions. stop by sometime!how did you get attention online?
consistency, innovation, and grit over the course of 2 years. it's tough out here. good luck!
best art improvement advice you can give?
just fucking draw. no, seriously. experience is the best teacher. i'd say my skill is 10% talent, 20% education, and 70% practice/experience.wtf is the trench collective?
the trench collective is the "dev team" behind the fictional band trench. it began as a splatoon fan project that was mine alone, but in 2026 i relinquished ownership of trench to a collective of trusted artists, musicians, producers, and more. while i still direct, we equally have a say in the project. the point is to foster solidarity, hone our skills, and speak our truth--as a community of artists, rather than a sole content creator.how are Trench's voices made?
they are edited in FL Studio by Lumiflag.where can i learn about Trench's lore?
their inkidols page is a good start! the trenchcast, animatics and interviews on my yt channel also chronicle their journey in real time.can i join the trench collective?
possibly, if you have a skill to contribute and are willing to abide by our code of values. if so, feel free to contact me!
