Art programs you have but don't use
Rebelle 5... its a neat app but whenever i use it somehow it slows my laptop very much. There is also blender ? and blockbench but 3d is a learning curve.
Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)
Facing left is easier, i still struggle with forward / face on.
What ideas come from when you were little
too many things, mostly from video games such as fable, skyrim, eragon, and gta.
Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw
Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself
Out of lets say a 100? about 70%. sometimes it remains as sketches, other times i end up scrapping it. etc. the more... nsfw stuff is private.
**Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (e.g. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)**1
A lot of outside stuff; the elder scrolls lore is a big one. When i realize theres too much similarity I try changing it.
A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate
traditional painting and clay modelling. i'd love to get into the latter.
What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
wolves with elemental abilities granted by magical crystals. stopped working on due to the fear of it being compared to "steven universe" due to the magical gems, and azurehowl (which yeah was an inspo but the story is different). i might bring it back but rn??? idk!
Favorite piece of clothing to draw
i hate drawing clothes... but labcoats / jackets.
Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what
music !! or like long-form videos that are a few hours long.
Easiest part of body to draw
chest and head.
A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing
not many people nowadays. a lot of artists i look up to inspire me.
Any favorite motifs
BIG teef, multiple eyes, big monsters.
Where do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)
at home mostly! but if i have my ipad i sketch wherever.
Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing
i like to think im good at coloring but its sometimes very boring....
Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what
energy drinks, and uuh home-made fries.
Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)
spears and bows.
Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy
even tho it annoys me; hands/paws! i am no expert but i find it fun.
Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways
varied question, ermrmm . most other styles! i try not to heavily dislike or flatout hate an art style. so i enjoy others!
What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any
stretching mostly
Do you use different layer modes
overlay, soft light, add, my beloves.
Do your references include stock images
very rarely. i try to usemy memory instead... which gah.
Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by
not from what i recall.
What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended
too many !! the ideas in my head: // what ends up being produced:
Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with
Way too many sketches that never see the light up day unless i like the sketch and they ended up being finished
Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)
None really. sometimes i forgor....
Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically
delicious in dungeon, transformers, fallout
What piece of yours do you think is underrated
uuuhhghh a drawing i did of a dragon crawling out of a volcano. only 4 favorites ever on dA. its deleted now due to my move but i worked so hard on it and it having little attraction makes me frown.
Hi gang, usually I’d never do an emergency post like this but I need help with gathering funds for both paying my share of bills (302) and my rent on the Thursday (136). Approximately I’d need 440 just to be safe (additional funds will be used for food).
That being said I have my entire toyhouse (within reason) on Entertaining Offers, some characters I genuinely can’t trade due to the permissions of ownership not allowing trades or sales. Sona, fandom and story folders are a no go.
SALE FOLDER: https://toyhou.se/cosmohause/characters/folder:2039112
ALL CHARACTERS: https://toyhou.se/cosmohause/characters/folder:all
Please no low-balling. USD only. Via paypal or kofi (paypal.me/cosmohause) (https://ko-fi.com/cosmohause) .
If no characters are of much interest I have commissions available to! Same day to same week TAT due to the time restraint of next Thursday.

If interested DM me on toyhouse or discord @ cosmohause
doing these are so cool...
FAVOURITES:
Favourite genre(s): Platform, Roleplay Games more so, but I like some action.
Favourite video game(s) of all time (indie/triple A or both):
- Fable series (by Lionhead studios, the second game is my top favorite of the trilogy)
- The Elder Scolls! Specifically Oblivion and Skyrim, massive comfort games at this point.
- Cult of the Lamb
- Fallout New Vegas
- Red Dead 2.
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R
- Metro (Metro 2033, Last Light, Exodus), i also have the first book and its pretty cool
- GTA series (mostly Vice City and Four)
Favourite console from the current generation: eHHH I don't like ps5 or xbox X much. i think the ps5 is nicely designed and my housemate has one. i played on one at PAXAUS which was pretty cool but i am more of a PC, Xbox 360, and PS4 gamer.
Favourite console not from the current generation: absolutely loved the xbox 360. cannot believe its considered retro now :( im old.
Favourite single player game: Fable 2, Skyrim and CultOTL.
Favourite game to play with friends/multiplayer game: call me cringe but at least im free: Among Us is/was my favorite multiplayer game.
Favourite character(s) in a game: Hammer from Fable 2, Odahviing from Skyrim, Arthur Morgan & Kieran Duffy from RDR2, The One Who Waits from CultOTL, E-DE; Arcade Gannon; Preston Garvey; Paladin Danse; Nick Valentine from the Fallout games. And plenty more I just...forgor...
Favourite boss(es) in a game: oog, erm... hmm.. obscure game but the first and final boss battle in Blue Dragon
Favourite ending in a game: As sad as it was, RDR1 ending. And FNV.
Favourite song/soundtrack: Blue Dragon, the entire Fable collection, RDR2, Skyrim, hell, dare I say also CultOTL, and Fallouts (even tho its mostly old songs, still bangers)
Favourite level(s)/place(s) (tropes or specific ones): Gusty Garden from Mario Galaxy is still one of my favorite levels.
MISC.:
Most difficult/irritating game you still like: maybe im silly but Assassins Creed Valhalla, its a good game but god damn. i think i just find it difficult bc it doesn't play like the Ezio Trilogy.
Game or series with the best story/writing: Red Dead, I suppose GTA IV, as well as Metro Exodus.
Overrated game (to you, but also please be polite):
Underrated game most people don't like/haven't heard of:
Game you cried over: RDR2, FNV (tbfh it was mostly in frustration with the Dead Money DLC), other than that none rlly.
Game you cheered over: MOST of the games i play.
Game that you've put way too many hours into: Skyrim... countless hours on the xbox 360 (like years worth of hours), and abt 179 hours on steam? second most played game is Stardew Valley, third is Fallout New Vegas, fifth? Fable 2, RDR2... idk man.
Want to play/in your backlog: [looks at my steam library]... hmm... hmm... suppose more of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series!
Want to play but don't own: wouldnt mind playing War Thunder, or like Fallout 76, or liek... idk most other games? but the tism is strong.
Game you tried to play but gave up on: ngl....pokemon. i sometimes replay them but idk. the games aren't fun imo .
What's the typical rating of games you play: average??? i guess????
Funniest example of video game logic to you: oblivion nppcs <333
THIS OR THAT:
PC or console: console gamer at heart but some games are better played on pc, but also some are best played on consol.
Console or handheld: Handheld. console, handheld is okay but console better.
Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft: tbfh i do not care, but most games i played is under/owned by Microsoft.
Mario or Sonic: idc.....mario.
Playable protagonist or custom player character: depends on the game, I suppose playable protags so long as i can custom a little (clothing, hair cuts, etc), but i like it when the roleplay adventure games have custom characters :333
Turn-based or real-time: again it depends on the game, real-time is cool and turnbased is cool
Keyboard or controller: controller, but in experience some games are best played with keyboard than controller, and vice verse.
Open world or small levels: open world. love exploring.
Generated or set map: set map.
First or third person: yknow what? if i can switch it is the best type of game.
edit// forgor to fill out a field or two sobgs.
