i havent done this one before i think?? maybe i tried filling it out at some point and then never finished it.
got from @Twiggie!

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

Like 12 or more from 2007-present. Either because I needed different usernames on different sites. Or for side blogs. Or just a change of username.
I currently have like 4-ish handles that are active I'd say.
This isn't including Steam, other gaming log-ins. Or my inactive vtuber persona. (that'd add like 3-4 more to the list)

2. What does your current username mean?

mooncritter, pretty self explanatory. "moon" is in connection to the my namesake of my real name, which ive shared online in the past but do less now just to idk be more mindful of my privacy online. "critter" is just idk a fun word and i call one of my lil ocs Critter or like call it a moon critter.

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

I think it was photoshop cs3? But might've even been an old copy of photoshop 7. i had access to the program thanks to my dad's work in graphic design.
i still have photoshop on my old college laptop now, photoshop cs6.

4.Where did you first start posting your art?

deviantart!

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

probably pokemon.

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

my first fursona was basically calico cat inspired by my own cat, who wore a green scarf. pretty soon after i also drew her as a fox.

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

i recently made a new fursona, that im still feeling out. havent made a ref for them yet. but they're named Mar or Marcie.

8. What/who inspired you to be an artist?

If we go to the beginning of it all, definitely my parents who were artists, and also one of my first best friend in kindergarten and her older sister who drew a lot too. The inspiration only continued with Pokemon and cartoons, and eventually anime and manga too.

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

im not really sure. i mean i like to try different things. but overall, clipping masks are so useful. and i also really like how clip studio paint can put a clipping mask on a folder of layers. super helpful. also layer modes in general. feels like simple stuff but it counts a lot for digital art.
