• Religious or any belief's?: I'm a bit spiritual, I suppose? There is a flow through all existence and I feel there are many, many things we do not see and cannot understand. Ultimately, life's goals should be to better oneself - an endless endeavor.
• What morals do you hold high?: 1. Communication makes the steadiest foundation to any relationship, be it romantic or otherwise. // 2. To better oneself is one of the most respectable goals in life.

• Do you have any pets?: Sadly not :(

FAVOURITES

• What is your favourite smell?: Petrichor, Earl Grey tea
• What is your favourite music genres?: I'm very eclectic in my music tastes. I typically enjoy anything that isn't country, rap, or very messy dubstep. Those genres can be artful and there are exceptions, but I tend towards disliking them.
• What’s your current favourite band/musician?: I'm not into any particular band at the moment.
• What’s your current favourite TV show?: ATLA forever, but The Wingfeather Saga was a pretty awesome watch recently!
• What’s your current favourite movie?: Dragonheart (1996)
• What’s your current favourite video game?: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess remains my fav, but I currently play a fair bit of Sky: Children of the Light, Path of Titans, and Baldur's Gate 3.
• What is your favourite ice cream flavour?: Cookies & Cream or Baked Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough with Magic Ice ;D
• What is your favourite animal?: Red pandas, deer, bats...it's difficult to choose!
• What is your favourite food?: This one is tough because, realistically, I go through phases of liking all sorts of foods. Chicken udon, spaghetti squash dishes, stir fry, cheese grittle (grilled cheese sandwiches), American country-styled biscuits and white gravy - those are all endlessly returning loves!
• What is your favourite drink?: Dark roast coffee with a dash of milk, black teas like Earl Grey (+Earl Grey boba!), cocoa/hot chocolate...again, difficult to choose!
• What is your favourite season?: Spring
• What is your favourite holiday?: Halloween! That one is pretty easy ;w;
• What is your favourite plant or flower?: Succulents and lilies - it's difficult to dislike most plants and I lack a favorite!
• What is your favourite gemstone?: Topaz (blue and orange), opal, moonstone - blue gems, especially funky ones, tend to be favs of mine. Don't care about price or rarity, just looks!
• What is your favourite car?: Mustangs look neat, but I'm not much of a car person.
• What is your favourite planet?: Saturn has been my childhood favorite, but I reckon I'd have a different one if I knew more about planets outside our solar system.

FEARS, WANTS & WISDOM

• What makes you feel unstoppable?: Truly? Nothing. Partially, Ani Mevushal by Infected Mushroom. It's just super energizing to my brain, for whatever reason!
• What is your biggest fear?: True and unending nothingness.
• What is your most irrational fear?: Scorpions and thalassophobia fears that follow me strongly into even video games. I'm always working on it, though!
• Do you have any other phobias?: I have medically diagnosed Social Anxiety Disorder so there's the obvious joke that I'm afraid of people, but it's mostly just scorpions and thalassophobia.
• What’s one thing you would change about yourself?: My lack of drive.
• If you could time travel, would you go to the past or the future, and where?: The past. Ideally, I could rewind time over a decade alongside my partner while retaining our memories. We'd get a much better jumpstart to life, earlier mental health assistance, and support one another through devastating situations that landed us where we currently are.
• What words of wisdom would you pass down to your younger self?: Be true to yourself and trust yourself - do not let others control you.
• What is the best advice someone has ever given you?: You train others on how they can treat you.

ABOUT ART

• What is your current passion project?: Due to a rather unhealthy environment and current living situation, most projects are little more than ideas. I'll list a few, though: A mini-comic featuring Violet's backstory, fleshing out the world that a handful of my characters are a part of, fleshing out Vaulen's world, creating a species for adopts that could help keep us afloat financially.
• What skill would you like to master?: There are so many! Most realistically: 2D artwork and 3D modeling. If I could go even further, though: 3D rigging, woodcarving, pottery, and painting.
• Where do you go when you need inspiration?: Outside, though that is difficult here.
• Who is your biggest inspiration?: My friends, partners, and mom are the obvious answers, but there are artists as well: Falco and Nightrizer are two of the biggest inspos.
• Are you a hobby artist or is this your job?: Hobby artist
• What is your favourite topic to draw?: Wolves and dragons are my comfort zone critters
• What do you not like drawing?: Human faces are still incredibly strange to me, hands suck, and I've got a personal issue with apes and monkeys
• Is there anything you refuse to draw?: Other than the obvious odd fetishes and such, I greatly dislike apes and anthro equines (no offense to anyone!)
• Show me some of your fave artwork?: My own? I'm still uploading here, but I'm really proud of the water I managed in this piece.
• Now show me someone else's art you adore?: My friends have awesome art! I'll share the ones who have made it onto Sheezy so far: Adrian, Oak, and ManaMyst!
