Time for me to repay >:)

Who out of your ocs are a guilty favourite for you?

Do you have a dream car? :0 Certain model or brand or stuff like that?
If you're to choose, cowboys or pirates?

How's 89 doing? ;)

Would you rather have permanent 10 cm nail extensions on your toes or 20 cm on your fingers??

oh my god, that first question,.. AGH.
It's Apollo. It's still Apollo. He always has been my guilty fave and always will be. He's going to be an OC I've had for 10 years next year! :0 old as hell. He's not exactly a great guy, a lotta complexities going on but y'know,, he's an alcoholic with manipulative tendencies, come on now 😭Eternity and Apollo's dynamic is my absolute favourite.

Oh god, some of the demons too. There's contract fuckery and so much other just,, bullshit going on there. Anything with mild ethics violations are my guilty favourite </3

Dream car-? Nooo. I actually know very very little about cars and have very little desire to. All I want is something that's easy/cheap to maintain and is small/easy to park. I don't feel the need for anything fancy, just something cheap and convenient! Dream car is something that doesn't ever break down B)

THAT IS SO HARD. I like horses, y'know? But I have no attachment to the wild west or anything, it's never been a genre I'm into. So I suppose saying that, I'd have to pick pirates!

86 has one thing to say to you:
[yes, yes, I'm sure some firearm aware person will come and say you shouldn't hold a rifle like that but do you really think 86 cares </3]

EUGH. God. Ew just thinking about that makes my skin crawl.
All I can think about is like,,, not even being able to wear shoes-?? So I guess I have to go for the 20cm fingernails but like?? Then I wouldn't be able to type,,

So maybe back to 10cm toenails? I think that'd disrupt my life less but I hate it I hate it Polar why </3

Knew it ✊ but it's so fair, Apollo my beloved. Also the ethics violations part.,, same BAHAHA

The car part is very real though cause same, I just kinda got something to keep me on the road and be pretty cheap at the same time hehehe

Oh god I'll have to watch my back now

Sometimes in life, you have to make difficult decisions 😔

What was the most time consuming artpiece you have done? So how long did it take for instance?

And was doing art something you started off young as a hobby or did you first start learning this/discovering this talent as an adult which led you to study concept art and such at Uni?

OHhh this is a good good question, I still think the most time consuming piece of art I've done is probably this one for Ciuin back in 2018.


Ut took FOREVER, for uh,, well let's just say I've improved a lot. Every single line was drawn individually - I didn't know there were brushes for this sort of thing.

Another incredibly time intensive commission was this piece for KJKarma on TH. This was done at the start of 2024, and combines a 3D model with digital painting, I can't even begin to estimate how long this took, at least 15 hours with all the tweaks and adjustments.




As for when/how I started art, I pretty much always have. According to my parents, I picked up a crayon as a toddler and quite literally never put it down. I don't actually remember art not being a part of my life at any point - I've been drawing for as long as I can remember! I never made a conscious decision to learn how to draw or decide to suddenly take learning to draw seriously - I've just always done it. Some of my earliest memories are drawing or painting :]

I've been to a lot a lot of schools, and have been lucky enough that art or at least something creative was a part of those schools. When I did my GCSEs [exams between the age of 14-16 ish] I was lucky that my school offered art as a subject I could study and get grades for - which definitely pushed me in a lot of ways I wouldn't have pushed myself if I was purely self taught, it's also what started to get me into digital art in 2014. Since then I've always been studying art in one way or another, so going onto study concept art/game art at university was a natural progression! Though, the course I'm currently doing is a lil more diverse and also includes 3D modelling and basic programming!

what movie star would you say you look like?

1. If you were a fish what fish would you be?

2. If you could switch lives with a fictional character or OC for a week, who would it be?

3. Would you rather fight 1 horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?

4. If you could only speak in song lyrics for a day, what genre are you choosing?

5. If your drawing style was a superpower, what would it be and how would you use it to save the day?

6. If your sketchbook could come to life, what kind of trouble would it get into?

1. OMG!! I would be a coelacanth! They're one of my absolute favourite animals and are definitely my favourite fish. They're slow moving, low-metabolism deep sea fish. Despite being one of the most researched fish on the planet, we still don't know much about them! Coelacanth were presumed to be extinct until the 1930s! And they can be found in the fossil records riiight up until the Devonian period, some 400 million years ago.
   
   2. Hm,,, this is a hard question. Someone with hella money who doesn't have anything bad happen to them LMAO. Then I could buy myself hella stuff. Wait, would I get to keep the stuff?
   I'd quite happily switch lives with Vala for a week as he makes bank, has a really cool job and does a lot of interesting stuff! His profile is blank though, whoops.
   He guards the cross-country trains in my world :0 they're usually just transporting various goods the cities need but sometimes have some really interesting stuff. He gets to travel allll around the world, see places no one else gets to see and gets helllaaa hazard pay!
   
   3. Oh god, that's so hard. 100 is a lot but,, can a duck-sized horse actually hit that hard? A horse sized duck would probably just be able to like,, peck my arms off or something I don't know. Flatten me with its feet.
   I don't think I'm winning but the 100 duck-sized horses.
   
   4. LMFAO omg, this is a fun question. What if I pick techno, then I don't have to speak to anyone. 10/10
   
   5. Hm,, Hm. My art style can be pretty varied, so something with a lot of variation! Maybe pulling objects out of thin air or something. Depends what I'm saving the day from. Either that or water manipulation, I love drawing water *^*
   
   6. Oh god, which sketchbook? I have like,, 20. Depends on which sketchbook.
   If it's the one from 2014, we're going to have to deal with a bunch of emo dogs and badly drawn anime characters existing </3 Oh, and dragons.
   
   As for my current one,,? Having some of my OCs existing IRL wouldn't be great,,
