RULES:
Answer each question in as much detail as you like. Skip anything you don't know or would prefer not to answer.

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

If I only count art accounts then 5.
I started using my current username in 2014!!

What does your current username mean?

૮ ˶ˆ ᴥ ˆ˶ ა

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

MS Paint, and then Photoshop Elements.

Where did you first start posting your art?

Neopets! I'd use my pet pages to make profiles for my roleplay characters, and post comic pages haha. I started using DeviantART a little while after. I thought it was the coolest place ever! It really motivated me to draw and make friends through art.

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

The Animals of Farthing Wood! I used to make booklets out of paper with profiles for all of the characters... I remember painting a lot of Watership Down characters as well when I was super young.
Digitally my first fanart was for Warrior Cats! I remember painstakingly trying to draw all of Thunderclan with a mouse on MSPaint lol.

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

Mizu is probably the closest thing to this! She wasn't really a self insert but she was my "main character" when I was 12. I'd put her on my journal headers and everything! Super edgy dog lol, she had a metal leg that I totally stole from FMA. I should redraw her one day to see how much my art changed.

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

Him!! He's pretty different to Mizu, who was a bit rude and sassy (I thought she was so cool...so badass)
One of them is a dog, and the other is a dog with a job.
I should draw them together, actually... hehe.

What/who inspired you to be an artist?

My favourite films and animated series' growing up!

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

My tablet! I actually have the exact same one I got for Christmas when I was 12... It's a tiny little Wacom Bamboo Fun, and it's somehow still working just fine. (I'm a real 'if it's not broken, don't fix it' type lol) I used to draw exclusively in Paint Tool SAI, but I like drawing in CSP now!

That's probably all, I don't use many interesting tools eheheh.

What improvements have you made recently?

I've been drawing more stuff with original ideas and meaning behind them recently. I don't really post these things right now, because they're for a comic I'm working on...
But I'm really excited to share everything one day! :D

What steps would you like to take in the future?

I'd like to release my comic and get better at portraying my ideas in my art.
And keep on enjoying what I'm doing!!
