But your lineart is like... Calligraphy, but on/for people. It's unique in a way that I don't really know how to describe.

I imagine the time put into crafting that brush was... Daunting.
But worth it, especially if it's alleviated a piece of the process that otherwise was bogging you down. ✒️🖤

Because I have never seen line work that even vaguely resembles yours, and usually, even if you have custom brushes, a lot of digital line work is going to have similarities. Especially w the amount of people who have learned from other artist's tutorials.
No shade, of course, learning is good.

Thank you for the incredible and detailed response. I know it was a pretty broad question.
I've always wondered at the balance because your work is so incredibly detailed and fine-tuned, but the broader composition doesn't lose anything for that.
I'm not surprised you made your own pen/brush

Your posing is always incredible. Despite the variety, the intimacy in it is top tier. Never a stiff looking moment. Do you use reference often, or have you practiced enough that you're familiar? I always find myself amazed by your general composition but also the natural flow of your linework

Honestly, thank you for bolstering people's voices and throwing so much of yourself into this. I know how draining uphill battles like this can be, and I think it's incredibly commendable that you've used your platform and energy for activism so diligently.
Don't forget to take care of yourself, too
