✦ ARE YOU OPEN FOR REQUESTS, COMMISSIONS, ART TRADES, OR COLLABS? ✦

Thank you so much for your interest! I really appreciate it. Most of the statuses (see buttons above) don't change, but if my commissions are open, I will advertise on my social media. Most notably Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr.

✦ WHAT PROGRAM DO YOU USE? ✦

All of my art up until late 2016 was with an old version of Photoshop. Everything after that has been with Paint Tool SAI.

✦ DO YOU USE A TABLET? ✦

Yes, I do! I've had my Wacom Bamboo Create since 2012 and it's still in pretty good condition, even though it's old!

✦ CAN WE BE FRIENDS? ✦

Although I do like making new friends, I prefer to make friends by naturally getting to know each other over a length of time. I'm kinda shy, so talking to random people makes me a little nervous.

✦ CAN YOU TEACH ME HOW TO DRAW? ✦

Uhhhmmm. Not really? I mean, I'm self taught and it took me a long time to learn how to draw. I'm still learning all the time too! (Also I'm not that great of a teacher hehhh).My best advice to you would be to study everything. Whatever you want to draw, just study it. Use references. Look up tutorials. There's plenty on DeviantART, YouTube, and similar sites. You wanna learn to draw hands? Look at pictures of hands or study your own hand. Keep an eye on how it's structured and how it moves. And practice a lot. Keep drawing so you can build up that skill and muscle memory.If you have any more specific questions, I can do my best to answer them, but that's the most general advice I have. XD

✦ CAN I DRAW OR WRITE ABOUT YOUR OC? ✦

Of course! I love it when people draw my OCs. It makes me happy seeing that people like my characters. Just remember to credit!As for writing, if it's a one-shot (literally just like a one-part story for fun), then that's fine. If it's any more than that, then my answer is most likely no (for personal reasons). Sorry!Also please remember to credit if you do write a one-shot! (Note: No NSFW and no shipping please unless it's with a character I already ship my character with.)

✦ CAN MY OC BE FRIENDS WITH YOURS? ✦

Well, if you'd like to draw or write about (see the question above) our OCs hanging out or something, you can. Of course, however, my OC's story/timeline will remain unchanged on my end. (Idk if I had to clarify that, but I did just in case.)

✦ YOUR OC LOOKS LIKE [insert character here]. ✦

This isn't a question, but I'd like to address it anyways... um.. Okay I guess? Idk how I'm supposed to respond to this.

✦ CAN I USE [art from my gallery] FOR [project you're working on]? ✦

Generally, no. I do not allow the use of my art for anything. Not for bases. Not for cover art for a fic. Not for editing. Not for anything. ESPECIALLY not for commercial purposes, NFTs, or AI training.

✦ HOW DO YOU DO YOUR SCREENSHOT EDITS? ✦

After getting this question a lot whenever I post screenshot edits of my Voltron OC, I decided to finally make a tutorial for it! You can find it HERE. Let me know in the comment section of that deviation if you have any more questions about it.I also made a video version of the tutorial on my YouTube channel!
