My inbox is open for submissions!

I can't even try to claim that I will find all artefacts out there, and rely on tips from the wider snaudience (snail audience). If you know of an artefact - send me a dm! Please include as much information about it as possible, if you can 🙏

닫혀있지 않은 선화에 사용해도 완벽하게 밑색을 채울 수 있어서 좋습니다.
특히 세밀한 부분을 칠할때 유용해요!
