**How many usernames have you had? (You don't have to share them!)
**
so many- at least 8.

What does your current username mean?

my FNaF-sona! was originally gonna be AmpTheProto but making my whole account FNaF-themed makes autism go brr
pretty much just sunny+animatronic; very literally what Sunni is.

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

the first program i used was flipaclip (yes, for art. not animation.), but the first thing i technically drew on digitally was the original scratch bitmap editor back in ye olde days. i switched to Ibis paint, then firealpaca when i got my first drawing tablet and ive stuck with it since! i do occasionally use other programs such as adobe animate and illustrator for animation or different art styles.

Where did you first start posting your art?

scratch (im getting war flashbacks already-)

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

it was FNaF actually! dont know the original context for why i drew them like that, but its freddy, chica and foxy (RIP bonnie i guess) - here it is, in all its 2018 glory!

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

(left) she was my first FNaF oc. she was a trans freddle with an angsty story about murdering kids cause she was just SO lonely, poor baby. definetly need to redraw her at some point, but you can tell a lot of her design has seeped into Sunny already.

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

Alphibian Amp Sunny and Sunnimatronic who all represent different parts of me!! Alphibian is pretty much just a self portrait in some funky clothes, Amp represents clumsiness and music/fashion tastes, Sunny represents autism, and Sunni is a traumatised little guy.

What phases/styles has your art gone through? (e.g. Did you have an anime era, a cartoon style, a watercolour phase?)

idk really, i just did what i felt like doing;;; but i can definetly seperate out a few art styles from the past few years.
2018-2019
2020
2021
link 2022
2023
current!

What/who do you think has influenced your art style the most?

probably FNaF/fandom, mlp, that one scenemo artstyle, early animation memes (2016-2018)

What/who inspired you to be an artist?

idk, the only class i really enjoyed in primary school and it just stuck. i guess it was a good way to express my special interests in 2019 cause my friends hated it when i infodumped lol

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

i use firealpaca, with a XP-pen 12" artist pro, a DSi as a stand, and my crappy school laptop that runs on hopes and prayers.

What improvements have you made recently?

i think general composition and making my art more consistently good-looking

What steps would you like to take in the future?

fuck knows, lmao.
