fun fact: Birds do not have the digestive juices and functions necessary to produce gas. Donald Duck's middle name is Fauntleroy. A turtle's spine is connected to its shell; if you rip off its shell, you will be ripping out its spine and therefore, killing it. Male praying mantises can take hours to pump his seed into a female and to keep her entertained so she doesn't leave during the process, he offers himself as a snack; he is still alive and pumping even while his head is decapitated and eaten, as well as the rest of his upper half.

the piece you're the proudest of: This one, at the moment. I think it's a vast improvement from the original and I am proud of how I was able to depict Eloise and Derek in their native forms; although, their native form designs may change over time.
how long have you been creating: I've had a penchant for art for as long as I can remember. I even once got in trouble in preschool because I colored the inside of a pumpkin yellow instead of orange to maintain the realism of it from what I observed when I was carving pumpkins with my mum... (Yes, this really happened.) That aside, I've been drawing since I was about 3. For the longest time, it was only periodically and for fun, but when I turned 10-11, that's when I tried getting into it seriously and striving to improve.
how did you learn: Observing other artists I enjoy, analyzing the way they draw, watching tutorials, practicing all of it out myself, looking at references and analyzing them, reading advice from more experienced artists, etc. I've also paid for art lesson websites and programs and I intend to do it more often in the future. I also own 3 art books and hope to purchase more.
how long does it usually take you to make something: Anywhere from 45 minutes - an entire year, depending on many circumstances such as complexity.
what's the big project you haven't got around to yet: Animations and comics are two of my biggest goals. But for the foreseeable future, doing a huge YCH. I've got some parts of the base drawn out, but I still have more character bases to flesh out + the background to do before I can release it for sale.
