STIPPLE BEAST is a free brush pack for Clip Studio Paint, inspired by tattoo needles mashed with other typical tradition media tools. Included in the pack are 9 brushes and a reference card.

sifting bad actors from ill-informed critics is not a job you do alone; there's a reason we have so many.
I never really figured out a style for these, do you think the print tone is grungy enough to be evocative or is it too much?
