- They/Them
"The mask you wear serves it's purpose well, but be careful not to lose yourself in it."
I saw this around and thought I would participate!
Art programs you have but don't use?
- I have clip studio! But unfortunately my trial that came with my tablet expired.
- IBIS Paint X I used to use on my android tablet but the stylus nib broke inside the pen so I have been on Desktop with a and I am finding that is better for me in terms of pain management while drawing.
What ideas come from when you were little?
- Dark magic users I guess? If I understand this means ideas I had when I was little I still do?
Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw?
- My psychopomp, Vitae. They are a fox-like... thing that is meant to have the themes of life and death, and they are a pain to draw as they have more detail than i am used to, but I am still so proud of their design!
- In terms of subjects? Backgrounds...
Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself?
- Uhhhhhhhh 30...40%??? Most of what I post is stuff that I finish and I have a lot of unfinished art and sketches. Trying to post a lot more though even if rough. And some stuff my anxiety stops me from posting adsoiaiwdas.
Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (e.g. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)?
- My friends' art probably! All of them are so talented, and I love seeing what they create! And probably Pokemon? And the artists that inspire me the most...
A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate?
- 3D ART IS SO COOOOL ESPECIALLY LOW POLY STYLIZED CHARACTERS AND SCENERY. I have tried doing 3D art but man it is such a different medium and UV mapping scares me.
What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in?
- My few attempts at making video games! My brain is NOT built for coding sdkoapkspda.
Favorite piece of clothing to draw
- Scarves!! There is a reason I have a lot of OCs with one.
Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what?
- It depends!! A lot of the time it is music from a playlist I made that is full of video game tracks I like from games I like, that and some stuff from a couple vocal indie artists!
- Sometimes a long form video like a video essay on interesting topics (mostly gaming) or stream VODs! Or sometimes watch people do challenge runs.
Easiest part of body to draw?
- Tails!
- Eyes!
A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing?
- I am not too sure! I will edit if I can think of anyone though!
Any favorite motifs?
- Eyes. I looove eye motifs.
- Night/space is so pretty, any sorta cosmic look I really enjoy!
- Cozy feels if that counts!
- HALLOWEEN and autumn!!
- Soft colors
Where do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)?
- I draw at my computer desk in my room!
Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing?
- Ehhh clean lineart...? Like I am not the best at it I do not think but it is something I am decent at? I prefer a bit more sketchy kinds of lineart, it is easier on my arms and is much more fun!
Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what?
- Whatever I have at hand to drink! Also coffee or an energy drink (limited to once per day).
- Sometimes I snack on something sweet? Only sometimes though, not too often.
Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)?
- COFFEE.
- SCARVES.
- Pumpkins!
Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy?
- Eyes that match on both sides I think I am pretty good at... I have a lot of characters with one eye covered though, but that is because I like that style a lot!
Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways?
- I love the style of the Splatoon series!
- Hyper Light Drifter!
- Pokemon!
- Tunic!
What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any?
- I... really should do those more but I forget. I do finger stretches when I remember to!
Do you use different layer modes?
- Mostly just multiply for shading?
Do your references include stock images?
-Nope!
Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by?
- Tbh I am not sure! Not that I recall anyway.
What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended?
- None I can really think of!!
Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with?
- I do not warm up, I don't have a lot of energy or motivation a lot of the time so time I spend warming up will be pretty much all I did that day.
Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)?
- Does guest art in a webcomic I did a few years ago count?
Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically?
- A lot of the video games I love do not really inspire me artistically. Stuff like Stardew Valley, Lunistice, and Hollow Knight I love but I didn't get inspired to create from them.
- Not much else I can think of! I think most things inspire me at least subconsciously.
