FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT ART PROGRAMS DO YOU USE?

I work digitally and the software I use is Clip Studio Paint EX for drawing and Photoshop CS6 for post-processing, effects, and graphic design. I use a Huion Kamvas 16 Pro pen display tablet to draw.

DO YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS OR SELL PRINTS?

As of June 2021, I no longer take private commissions; I'm only available for commercial work, and please reach out to me if you'd like to work with me! That said, I may run occasional public charity commissions on my Twitter for causes I want to support.

​

I can certainly give recommendations to other artists if you're interested, though! I love supporting other artists as well.

CAN I USE YOUR ART FOR ______ PURPOSE? CAN I ROLEPLAY AS YOUR CHARACTER(S)?

This is almost always a no. Please do not use my art for your website, videos, icons, the basis of t-shirt designs or tattoos or 3D models, etc. unless you've somehow received my explicit permission to do so. I am okay with you using my art as your desktop and/or phone background, however.

​

Most importantly, DO NOT use my original characters and designs for your own purposes, references for your own characters, or for role-playing purposes. These are MY characters who I cherish dearly and it makes me very uncomfortable to see them being used by others for their own purposes, malicious or otherwise. You additionally lose any valuable practice, joy, and experience from creating your own characters, so everyone loses in this case.

WILL YOU EVER STREAM ON TWITCH AGAIN?

Likely not. Similar to commissions, I found streaming to be too stressful for me and my computer currently can't handle streaming anymore. That said, I'm always happy to be invited as a guest on your own streams with good reason!

HOW DO YOU HAVE TIME TO DRAW AND HOW ARE YOU SO FAST?

First of all: thank you for thinking that I draw fast, haha! I personally feel like I work slow due to my limited time and how often I get distracted, but I'm happy at the pace I'm at right now. As to how I have time to draw, I try to set aside time to draw every day, explicitly blocking out some hours to do so. I also doodle throughout the day and write down ideas as they come. 

​

I find speed comes with practice, repetition, and also explicit practice in getting quicker (see: timed figure drawings and utilizing your drawing program to its fullest potential). New things always take longer to process and are more difficult but once you get repetitive practice with something, it becomes easier like any other skill! So keep at it, keep drawing, and you'll eventually pick up speed and new shortcuts. Additionally, it's not good to compare one's speed with another's since we all work at different paces and we work on certain things quicker than others. Work with what's best for you and keep learning :D
