i relate to this 1000% and you've heard me gripe about it so many times in the past, what finally fixed it for me was paying for a CSP sub. i use CSP on desktop so the brush engine and UI felt familiar. i started with procreate but it just wasn't it for me

Promise Me! A doujin I made leading up to the release of KH3! Hard to believe I once had the energy to whip out a 30 page comic in under a week 🫠

I WANTED to do something cute and simple for Valentine’s Day but the only idea that my partner had for me that stuck was this so uh. A few days later and not cute and simple, have some soriku feelings.

Sora, dressed in his kh4 outfit, is sinking into deep water, and Riku (kh3 version) is diving in after him. At the bottom of the image, the scramble crossing emerges fragmented from the depths.

thank you tharenia, this would also be a great chance to draw riku's exposed chest in detail 😳

thank you! ur right about the season.... I'm the world's slowest artist but I'll try

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

don't worry I think i'll be drawing soriku forever! they are the entire reason why I started art in the first place. sometimes i get into different IPs and draw other things, but i always joke it's like travelling abroad to learn new things all so I can draw better soriku

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

oh..... i'm really touched to hear this 😭 especially hearing that I inspired your own art in turn, it never occurred to me that my art could have that kind of effect. thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart

thank you for leaving such a kind comment! i have been going through my very old stuff so see if there’s anything I could finish, and this one is a strong candidate

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

THANKS NIKU!! i don’t think i ever shared it even in private. it’s a really rough wip after all

GHDJFJDJD i’ve been exposed…… i think my style is always easily influenced by whatever i am into

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

one day I will finally be able to draw riku in the way sora sees him (strong, cool, and handsome)

i'm always in awe of the way you depict the atmosphere in each of your paintings

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

since I was taking a trip down memory lane I decided to put this together. since i have been drawing riku for a long time, I think he's the best example for how my art has changed over time

I was cleaning up my art folders when I came across this half-cooked piece from 2020 that I completely forgot about and to my knowledge has never been shared

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

thank you very much! maybe this will be like my previous soriku art, the one where I came back to it 2 years later and finally finished it 🥹

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

thank you very much, i'm glad you think so even with a sketch as rough as this 🫶

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

thank you for your kind words! you're right, maybe I can revisit this some time later after having improved some more and i'll be able to complete it

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

aww thank you so much i appreciate it 🥹

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

theres this one tumblr post ive seen talking about that phenomenon but w fiction writing that I think about often

darling of dots feb 24
been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

the fucked-up part is that specifically notice this in like, BIPOC or queer romances because their authors a) are more likely to be harassed online b) tend to care about writing inclusive and intersectional books more, both of which are totally valid reasons, but unfortunately a book that is scared to be misunderstood is also scared to challenge the reader or allow for too much nuance or grey areas or character flaws and am sorry to say that it often makes for less compelling stories because it means shying away from ambiguities and complexities in an effort to reassure me, the reader, that everyone here is a Good Person engaging in Healthy Behaviours and Relationships

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

thank you!! i have daydreamed a lot about riku waking sora up via True Love's Kiss.... maybe I should draw that too

i think perhaps the reason why i was stuck on how to colour it is because my colouring style has changed over the years. i've started to prefer transparent watercolour brushes that i could layer, but i still wanted to colour this in my previous style (thick paint) and couldn't do it

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

the kh4 trailer gave me the will to work on this again

ploverbay 🏝️ @ploverbay.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

i’m feeling the same way, when I first saw the cover i thought it looked a little different from nomura’s usual style, especially if I compare it to his 20th anniversary illustration

Part of why the "become obsessed with a blorbo to improve at art" thing is true is because they'll make you do shit you normally might not even try Blorbo is a knight in a fantasy series? Welp I guess I gotta learn how to draw armor now Blorbo has a mech? Welp I guess I'm drawing a fucking mech
