Hi, I'm Cypher. I've Been Drawing For Over A Decade Now And Built Up A Lot Of Random Art. I Decided To

It really depends. For me its a matter of mood, energy, and what exactly I'm reading.

I have dyslexia so ebooks can be great since i can change the font and size. For some books I have to do that because the paper books font is strange (like hand written looking).

I really love the feel of paper books and they make me happy. but theres no zoom, color changing, font changing, etc. and i can lose them which isn't great.

Comics are nice and easy in either form but sometimes worth physical comics the text is still too small.

I love audio books but i cant do anything else with them on because i'll zone out and miss whats being said and have to rewind.

However, what I'm reading matters too. For instance, I prefer anything that may have triggering content (horror, true crime, etc.) in either ebook or paper form so i can skim and skip sections when i need to.

And sometimes its a matter of energy. Sometimes i'm just too tired to read, in that case I'll listen to an audiobook. Other times I'm over stimulated and need a good paper book to get away from the screens.

This isn't really the question but there's also the matter of availability, i don't have access to as many paper books as I do ebooks so regardless of preference i read a lot more ebooks by default.

Been thinking a lot about reading and getting information from text recently as someone with ADHD so I'm curious

I hate to say reblog to increase sample size but my following is pretty small and I'd like to get actual input on this, so if you wanna toss a reblog after you answer that'd be much appreciated <3

This piece was made in the beginning of 2018 and was my first piece in Fire Alpaca and using my new drawing tablet.

I was big into Villainous at the time and my favorite was Dr. Flug. I was fascinated with what could be under that mask. I didn't use much for creative juices and just gave him a normal human face.

I remember really wanting dramatic lighting and dark shadows but I couldn't figure out how especially seeing as Fire Alpaca didn't have a straight up bleeding brush. sense the scribbling. I was unhappy with this at the time but it was an important start. it was also just during a drawing slump so there was only so good I could feel about it.

Forgive the watermark this is from my old deviant art.

This was one of my first pieces of digital art. It was made in ms paint and drawn with a mouse. I had been drawing ponies traditionally for a few years at this point. This was the first piece where Mare's design really stuck. this was their cannon design for quite a while. However I recently completely redesigned them.

Art Improvement <3

I was looking at some old art and found some digital paintings i did a year ago

For comparison these are a couple pieces i did recently

Happy to see I'm improving ❤️

This was one of my favorite pieces in 2016. I loved how menacing this quote was. I also loved Bill Cypher, so much that he later inspired my name. I drew him a lot!

How the whole making manga thing is going

This was the first time I tried to digitally draw a person. I was still using a mouse and Ms Paint at this time. I had just learned the trick to making a certain color transparent when selecting. That's how I made the web like hairband and sleeves. Her name is Rachel.

I wouldn't call her an OC because there was no thought put into her character or story. Honestly the real story she tells is a piece of me coming to the realization I was Lgbtq+. I was very smitten with her.

I call him Axetrap lol, this was so much fun to draw.

i'm just curious bc i'm watching How to Train Your Dragon and i always forget how happy and calm it makes me feel. i mean, i did name my cat after Toothless the dragon. but i also love Lion King, that's my Disney comfort movie. and my Ghibli comfort movie is Spirited Away. watching any of these when i'm in a foul mood or my anxiety is high always helps 🥰 but i watch them just for fun too, not only when i'm in a mood. what about you?

Another study/recreation but i feel very proud of this one for capturing the colors and lighting
