hi!! just joining in for fun!!

i suppose that i could mention this now - i found sheezy through someone i follow on twitter posting about it and i was instantly delighted to finally see a place where i can post my music and art without worrying about antialiasing! excited to keep using this site :3

-=- basics:

name: maple!!
gender: elf girl (the elf part is very important)
pronouns: she/elf
age: i'm a minor and that's about all i'd like to say
birthday: april 20th!
fun fact: despite making music, i can't actually play any instruments... i just guess the notes in my daw...
hobbies and interests (besides art): whatever game i'm focused on at the time (usually minecraft lol)!
art-related interests: i've done a little bit of everything! besides drawing traditionally and digitally and making music i also build in minecraft (and any other sandbox games i can get my hands on) and make 3d models (this one's fairly recent)!

-=- art:

fave medium: i find traditional to be a lot less energy draining for small sketches, but for anything else digital all the way!
fave subject: cute stuff, monster girls, cool landscapes (though i'm not that good at backgrounds lol)
how long have you been creating?: technically i've been drawing every once in a while as a kid, but for art i started seriously in 2019 after being inspired by a friend! when it comes to music, i have a few tracks dating back as far as 2017-2018, made in warioware diy!
how have you learned?: i'm exclusively self taught, mostly because i was too afraid to use refferences and resources until late 2020 - early 2021(i've gotten over that now!)
how long does it usually take you to do something?: for art it's anywhere between half an hour to 3-4 hours for very advanced pieces. for music, it's rare for me to finish a piece, but the total time usually hovers around 6-12 hours, if not more.
the big project you wanna get around to: probably some sort of video game! i've had tons of ideas and i've been trying to learn gms2, but i'm not good enough at it yet and i don't have any ideas that stick lol

alright, that's all!
