I specialise in illustration and anthro art, and I am currently dabbling in 3D art which I will be utilising and showcasing in my future works.I am currently in the process of writing a web comic that I have yet to officially start, but when I publish the first page I will have a link to it in the section below.───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────I am also working on setting up a commissions page, which I will link below as well once it has been published.

Q: When did you start making art?
A: I've been doodling since I was 7 years old, but I started properly making artworks when I started my DeviantART account in 2010.I started drawing because I wanted to show off my mad MS Paint skillz!!1!
Then I got a tablet and gradually started getting better at it, and that progress lead up to me becoming a Games Design student of all things!───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: What programs do you use?
A: I use Krita for my works!
I used to use Paint Tool SAI 2, as well as Photoshop for final tweaks, but I made the switch to Krita because it pretty much has the best of both worlds!As for 3D modelling, I use Blender & 3DCoat!───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: Can I draw you or your characters?
A: I'm afraid not. I'm really quite protective of my babies to be totally honest.And since I've run into this question before - as for drawing me? Ehh, that's kind of weird, home slice. I'm not really cool with that at all, so please don't ask. 😅───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: Can I use your Kihoryu species?
A: Ehh sorry dudes, they're a closed species, and will probably remain that way until I've worked on them more!───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: Are you still making Bubble Bobble fan art?
A: I do still do a bit of BB fan art here & there!───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: Do you take requests?
A: I do, sometimes. Mostly through Twitter, though.───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: Do you do art trades?
A: Seeing as I have some time now, I think I'll be open to some ATs!If you're interested, shoot me a DM over Discord or via any of my pages down below - my inbox is always open!
HOWEVER - I will only do art trades with people whos art matches the same level of quality as mine, so please keep this in mind.
I mean absolutely no disrespect by this btw, it's just that I have standards when it comes to a fair trade, especially with art.───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: How does one get gift art from you?
A: Well, don't ask for it, for starters. Gift pieces are earned.I only do gift art specifically for my close friends & family. But, if you've done me a favour, or given me a gift, I'm more than happy to make a gift piece for you in return!
I've always been one to return the favour. ☺───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: Do you take commissions?
A: Not yet, but I'll be working on a price sheet & making a bunch of pieces to use as examples.I'm also incredibly anxious about the whole thing, but I wanna start putting myself out there eventually!───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: Can we be friends?
A: Absolutely! Friends make the world go round!Buuut I suck at keeping a conversation going, mostly due to my workload, or anxiety - mostly it's my anxiety, which is actually quite severe, ngl.So please don't take it personally if I don't respond to any messages/comments - you may have to give me a nudge to respond if I seemingly drop off the face of the earth.
Sorry in advance, it's a habit I've been trying to curb over the years. ^^;───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: Do you Roleplay?
A: That's a weird one - I do enjoy RPing, but I very seldom do it nowadays, mostly due to the reasons I mentioned in the question above.I would like to get back into it, though!───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: You use a lot of weird phrasing in your posts - What does it all mean!?
A: Well, I've probably mentioned that I'm from northern England, more specifically, Manchester.
We have a lot of weird slang, and a lot of that slang seeps into my online vocab. XDI will elaborate if I'm asked about it! 👌───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────Q: You're quite wordy, aren't you.
A: Oof, I knew this was coming. Yeah, I tend to infodump a lot - it's pretty apparent throughout this whole F.A.Q. 😆
I have a bit of a habit of writing biblically long posts and descriptions. I guess I can't really help having a lot of stuff to say. ^^;
