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!)
A few. Most were a variation with numbers. I have these listed on my site so
Tangleleap, Tangletalon38, LunarsStorm, and Stormchi
Variation includes Tangle38 and Storm with numbers at the end. Stuck with Stormchi the longest!
I have used TangledUpInHope for art specific accounts on social media too

What does your current username mean?
It's just a mashup of Storm and Neko. Idk how it took me until last year to come up with it

What is the first program you used to make digital art?
MS Paint if we're talking when I started messing with art programs. Fire Alpaca when I actually started drawing digitally

Where did you first start posting your art?
Deviantart

What is the first piece of media you drew fanart for?
Depends if we're talking when I was a kid or when I started actually doing art that wasn't just copying what I saw
As a kid, Pokemon. Not copying what I saw? Sonic or Pokemon i think

Who was your first self-insert/persona/fursona? What did they mean to you?
Technically it was Tangle until she was made into her own character! Fursona it was Skye. Tangle still means a lot to me, and she's one of my fav OCs! I still go by the name Tangle as well. Skye means a lot to me because she was the reason I got my drawing tablet out and started drawing

Who is your current self-insert/persona/fursona? How are they different to your first?
I have multiple sonas, but Storm and Vivie are the main two. Storm is different because she's how I wish I looked. Same eye color (But she wears blue contacts) and same hair color and all that. Plus she's a neko while Tangle is a normal human. Vivie is more naturally colored, and the first fursona I actually stuck with

What phases/styles has your art gone through? (e.g. Did you have an anime era, a cartoon style, a watercolour phase?)
Idk if I've gone through one? I don't understand how to change my style, so it's just gotten more refined and you can see the improvement

What/who do you think has influenced your art style the most?
MLP, anime, and cartoons. MLP due to that being the first thing I started drawing other than coloring bases. And I grew up, and still do, watch cartoons and anime. It's the style I like the most

What/who inspired you to be an artist?
I dunno! I've always been someone who liked to draw!

What tools are integral to your current workflow? (e.g. Programs, brushes, references.)
Drawn references. Normally from Pinterest and I look for the original link to save it wherever that is too. Medibang Paint for art program. I wanna try different ones, but I've stuck with this one for so long! Brush wise, Smooth G-Pen, a rough pencil brush or normal pencil brush depending on my mood, And I use watercolor, airbrush, sometimes blur, and a soft eraser too. Other than that I play around sometimes

What improvements have you made recently?
I drew some nice digigrade legs for refs recently! I'm also working on hands and shading!

What steps would you like to take in the future?
I'd like to relax more and focus on having fun instead of getting caught up in making things look right!
