OG post Since I cut out some questions here

How many usernames have you had? (You don't have to share them!)

I want to say about 7? Probably more.

What does your current username mean?

I chose CyanideTide because it had a nice ring to it. And it sounded cool. Mostly because it sounded cool and fit my current interests better than my old username. It doesn't really have a meaning unless you consider a literal tide of cyanide.

What is the first program you used to make digital art?

I tried MSPaint for a little bit but I never got anywhere with it. I consider Colors! 3D my first real digital art program. The Colors team made a switch version with pressure sensitivity, recently! With more QOL updates than Colors! 3D had.

Where did you first start posting your art?

Colors! 3D had its own gallery, which is offline now. Well, offline for the 3DS, that is. I have the switch version, which I still use once in a blue moon to post a doodle or two on the colors gallery there.

What is the first piece of media you drew fanart for?

Either Warrior Cats or Pokemon. Pretty sure Pokemon was first.

Who was your first self-insert/persona/fursona? What did they mean to you?

I want to say this Mew character I had. At least, i think it was a Mew? Its was how I drew Mew at the time except with a crescent moon tail. No idea what its name was, I just used it to insert myself into my silly little Pokemon comics.

Who is your current self-insert/persona/fursona? How are they different to your first?

Guppy is this shapeshifting... thing that I share a nickname with. I used to have a reference for him but because I change him a lot it's kind of outdated. I guess the difference between Guppy and this unnamed Mew-like thing is the fact that Guppy is an original character? And he's colored in! I never used to color in my drawings when I was a kid.

What phases/styles has your art gone through? (e.g. Did you have an anime era, a cartoon style, a watercolour phase?)

I never really document most of my art phases and styles because uh, I'm always going through experimental styles like its candy. I remember doing pastel color pallets, I had a thing where I drew chibi, one day I just wanted to draw more realistic. That's the most memorable ones to me, at least.

What/who do you think has influenced your art style the most?

Probably my friends art and the people I follow? Honorable mention: at some point I could not stop thinking about Metalocalypse so much so that I think that inspired my art style at some point.

What/who inspired you to be an artist?

So once upon a time there was this person who made Ed Edd n Eddy Youtube Poops called PopcornFairy. I loved these YTPs as a kid, so one day I go to her channel and saw she had speedpaints of her persona and some of her characters. And something clicked where I was like "Woah I wanna draw, too!" She still makes art and animations now and again. I think she's NatThePopcornFairy on Deviantart!

What tools are integral to your current workflow? (e.g. Programs, brushes, references.)

I have such a love hate relationship with Clip Studio Paint right now. I love the program itself I just wish it wasn't tethered by internet access. And why do I have to pay a subscription to use your mobile app when I've paid several times for your program on my PC? And why am I only limited to a number of PC's I can use it on?
