Blessing) or cool anime art 6. what do you like to create? uh buff men and anime furries. occasionally monsters 7. when have you started doing art? i first started making comics when I was a small child (like 4) and I've always wanted to make comics for a living 8. are you planning/doing art for a career? yes pls. I'm going to work with my dad as a salesman for the next few years after I turn 18 but hopefully I can eventually make comics full time 9. do you post art here? yep. most people would say I'm more well-known than some others sadly (cough cough go check out @mystique-- and @__Retroo__ ) 10. are you interested in art history? eh not really. there's some cool stuff you can find like Van Gogh cutting off his ear but for the most part eh 11. do you go to any classes for art? nope, self-taught baby 12. list 5 of your inspirations. it can be anyone! @mystique-- @__Retroo__ @_birb-alertt_ Jazza (on YT) Crown Obsidian (also on YT, he makes comics for a living and I've actually gotten to talk to him a few times!

I've done commissions before for people irl. Like a couple years back my aunt commissioned me to draw Gengar and Bulbasaur and paid me like 60 bucks 17. what do you like to listen to while you draw? rock/metal, occasionally ambient medieval themed music if it's a more ethereal piece 18. what's the hardest thing in art for you? shading skin bleh. it doesn't work right in my rendering style 19. what skill are you learning/want to learn? uhhh rendering skin and realistic faces 20. do you put filters over your artwork? usually my good ol pals the add/hardlight/multiply layers yessir 21. does you family support you and your art? uh sure for the most part.
