FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(some of which aren't actually frequently asked as I just wanted to talk about myself)
━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━
"HOW ARE YOU SO NATURALLY GIFTED WITH YOUR GOD-GIVEN TALENT?"
I was born with it, clearly. I drew my best pieces in the womb. Here are some:
---"WHAT CREATURE IS YOUR SONA?"It's a pike fish, but gold because I will be a great animator and gold signifies greatness! That means being impactful in life or in death, being skillfully one of the best, and most importantly embodying the spirit of the independent art! I also like the color yellow.---"WHY SO OLD-TIMEY? YOU UNC?"
I love doing lots of things the analog way, which includes how I dress, how I prefer to connect in-person, love physical media, and especially how I approach learning my art. However, that makes me no less part of the Z generation! I am also rather fond of fun internet culture, long-distance friendship opportunities, and absurdist themes which we collectively love so much.---"WHERE/HOW DID YOU LEARN?"
I've been self-taught for the majority of my life, but recently I have gone into more serious studies of drawing. While my school offers me more knowledge in illustration, I apply it in my personal studies of 2D hand-drawn animation! (I'm NOT moving to LA for that...)---"WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS?"
I hate rich people and over-individualism, so a lot of my stuff is inspired by the revolutions in fiction and reality alike. I'd say I am quite the realist when it comes to the themes my art tackles even though they are presented through silly furries. I love the found family trope the most. My favorite show is "One Piece" and my favorite movie is "Whisper of the Heart."
"CAN WE SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL, SHINY, VINTAGE, SILK PLUSH, IN-GOOD-CONDITION COLLAPSIBLE TOPHAT?"
Sure thing, here it is:
---"DO YOU LIKE FEET?"
I get this one a lot, but despite popular belief, I am not attracted to feet even though I draw them all the time as a joke. I also draw fat furries as a joke, but fat furries I actually am attracted to, so it's not exactly the same.---"WHAT VIDEOGAMES DO YOU LIKE?"
I'm not much of a gamer, but I do enjoy Slime Rancher (1 and 2), Palworld, Spore (because of nostalgia) and casual games. I am so excited for Elysian Eclipse to come out!---"WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST?"
I love to work with people and to communicate things in a damn-near universal manner (hence my love of symbolism.) It's a very human thing to be; an artist. You can express practically anything and change people like noone else can, yet most people choose to limit themselves in fear of judgement or technical failure. Good artists free themselves of that burden!---"IS YOUR ART FOR KIDS OR ADULTS?"
My art is for whoever enjoys/understands it. I would not consider my stuff to be 18+ content or anything like that, but it's not NOT mature either.---"ARE YOU SUPER VAIN OR SUPER HUMBLE? WHICH IS THE JOKE? I AM LOST"
I am humble.
