10 Questions: FAQ
How long have you been drawing?
Drawing since I was a baby, started digital art at 10. Only took it more seriously around 15 though.
What inspired you to pursue art?
My sister is an art prodigy so as a child I wanted to be better than her. I never was and still am not better but I lost the competitive touch since she stopped illustrating. Honestly I miss it, because I can tell my art is lacking in motivation to improve. But it would probably be unhealthy these days.
Favourite color(s)?
Red, anything between the black-white scale, and phtalo.
Any pets?
Two black cat devils named Apollo & Homer. Im thinking of getting some millipedes too.
Where'd you get your username from?
I'm Elk. I identify with deer. Normally I go by Elkcrown, which is like. The reference of a crown of antlers. But Elk wasn't taken here yet :)
What are you working on right now?
I'm mostly just surviving. I'm slowly chipping away at a novel I'd like to properly bring to existence some day, but otherwise because of life I've been pretty bad at keeping up projects.
Hoping to at least release one shitty godot game by the end of the year.
