Hello!
Sorry I've been so inactive lately, it's been an incredibly busy couple of weeks for me. I've been in rehearsals most days for a performance on the 4th of June, and I also had an exam this week that totally wiped me out. I've not had any time to draw at all really, or even check out what other people have been posting. I've accrued nearly 200 notifications in my inbox for other people's posts and AHJGHDRGHDRHG BIG NUMBER !!! I will try my best to look throuhg everything though, I don't want to just wipe them and miss out on all that tasty art :')
I've been making reference sheets behind the scenes trying to prepare for ArtFight, but I've been bouncing between them and haven't actually finished one in a while LOL. I also realised halfway through Lonnie's ref sheet that I totally forgot to add side profiles to everyone's sheets, WHICH IS SUPER IMPORTANT so I will be going back and adding those once I've finished Lonnie's ref sheet.
I've also been working on my own Neocities website, where I'm planning on hosting my portfolio of artwork, writing and reviews. It also has a fun little about me page, and a stamps/blinkies/gifs hoard! When it's done and ready to share I'll make another journal about it ^__^
Hope everyone is doing well!

Hello!
It's about time I post my commission information on Sheezy -- I've been putting it off for ages. I'm a bit conflicted though, as I'm not sure what format people would prefer.
Would you rather I make a fancy commissions sheet, or just shove all my information into a journal with a link to my VGen page? Or a mix between the two? Let me know which is more effective and I'll see what I can do ^__^
Hope everyone is doing well :p

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!)
Oh man okay, across EVERY platform I've ever had ... I think it's 20? I will probably remember another the moment I post this though.
What does your current username mean?
I genuinely don't remember
What is the first program you used to make digital art?
Windows XP MS Paint
Where did you first start posting your art?
DeviantArt back in 2013 :p
What is the first piece of media you drew fanart for?
Minecraft LOL
Who was your first self-insert/persona/fursona? What did they mean to you?
A half-human half-enderman Minecraft sona called Dark 😭 I was like 8 and wanted to be cool so bad
What phases/styles has your art gone through? (e.g. an anime era, a watercolour phase?)
Like EVERY phase. All of them. Name a style and I can guarantee I've tried it.
What/who do you think has influenced your art style the most?
OH MAN I'm honestly not sure! I think the work of Cate Wurtz has definitely had the most impact on my chibi style in particular, but as for my semi-realistic style, I think there are too many influences to pick out a main one.
What/who inspired you to be an artist?
Sheer boredom and loneliness as a child hahah. I was inspired to start taking it seriously by the Warrior Cats community on DeviantArt though for sure.
What tools are integral to your current workflow? (e.g. Programs, brushes, references.)
Clip Studio Paint, some specific sets of gradient maps I got from the asset store, and my two multi-purpose brushes I'm DEFINITELY not using the way the creators intended :p
What improvements have you made recently?
My painting/rendering has got a lot more detailed and I think I have a better understanding of how to make skin look soft and 3D.
What steps would you like to take in the future?
Fix my goddamn anatomy !!!! I struggle with it so bad. I also want to learn to draw quicker, I'm really annoyed with how slowly I draw.
OK I don't have time to write an ending for this bcs I have to run to a rehearsal but this was fun! Tags are fun! Feel free to steal this from me if you want to do it ^__^
