FAQ

These answers might be outdated.Q: What's your experience level / art history?
A: I picked up a pencil when I was an adult and didn't put it down. I've never done art in a professional capacity. I did a few drawings when I was a child, but didn't give it my time again until I was ~23.Q: What programs do you use?
A: Check the about page.Q: Brushes?
A: People who ask this question tend to fall into two categories.If you're in the category of people who are early in their art journey and are asking because they don't know where to start or are trying to use things the same as any artist you admire, it doesn't matter what brushes. Use a hard round with no density pressure or something similar. That's the answer you'll usually get from any artist, whether you ask about what program someone uses, what brush, and so on. The fundamentals are the same. Whether you're using zbrush or blender, CSP or SAI, etc, most things are basically the same. Still, I understand wanting to emulate stuff you like, so if you must know - read the next paragraph. Just remember that no tool will make you a good artist.If you're in the category that's asking because you want to emulate a certain effect or line quality, or you're just curious... In CSP, I mostly use a free 'SAI' brush I got from the CSP asset store that I tweaked, and two hard round brushes - one with density on and one with density off, each at low density. In Krita, I use a slightly modified version of the "Basic-5 Size" ( because it's similar to the pen tools in other programs, and because I don't want any opacity/density concerns when I'm drawing animation lines ).Textured brushes that may rarely show up, I made by hand by taking textures from the CSP asset store and playing around for a few weeks. They're not very good. Any textured brush will probably do just as well.Q: Can I trace/edit/outline your work?
A: Yes, if your intention is to learn. Tracing isn't inherently wrong ( especially from live photos ) when learning. Using a real-life photograph and tracing it to understand the forms is a method of practicing.Don't believe me? Look at this video by Matt Kohr of Ctrl+Paint ( ~1:40 into the video ), where he shows how tracing can be used to dissect the form. Trust the industry professional instead, I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about.You may also wish to throw my pictures into the drawing tool of your choice and measure proportions to understand stylistic choices or intuition. Totally okay.However, you shouldn't post traced work to social media & pass it off as your own work. Many artists would prefer you not trace their art at all, even for learning, so please respect that. Better safe than sorry. Don't use this as a free pass to trace work from other artists. I'm probably more of an exception to the rule than the standard.I understand that when you do a practice piece, there's a desire to post it to socials. Some people want that validation. If you must post ( for example, if you're holding yourself accountable by posting once every day ) and traced my work, then please explicitly state that. You don't need to tag me. Just be in the habit of being honest with yourself and others. It'll save you a lot of heartache, guilt, and headache in the long run.There's nothing wrong with emulating another person's style. People who say that isn't true can bite me. In a professional setting, copying the line quality and art style outlined by your art director is a requirement.This is my personal opinion. Take it with a grain of salt.Q: Why do you have three twitter accounts?
A: This one is for sketches, casual work, WIPs, etc. The personal art twitter. It's the most active.
This one is for official work I'm imagining to be 'published'. Comic pages, illustrations for official works, etc. It's basically my 'professional' twitter. For comic work.
This one is for R18/18+/Adults Only content. Everything from jokes I consider too suggestive for my main twitter to raunchy nsfw art goes there. Read the standard disclaimer below. If you're not of the age of majority, please don't look. If I catch you, I'll block you.Standard Disclaimer for r18 stuff
All characters depicted are of the age of majority ( usually 20+, how I draw them ). Made by an adult, for adults. Everything is a work of fiction, not real, any relation to people or places is coincidental, blah blah blah... The situations depicted/drawn are fictional, fantasy, not real. Nothing drawn is being condoned in real life. If you can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy, don't look at the r18 content. If you don't understand consent, don't look at the r18 content.You get the idea. I draw fantasy and situations where if it were reality, a character would immediately be arrested for public indecency, etc etc...Q: Can I translate your stuff?
A: Hell yeah you can, with these rules:
- Make sure to tag me / let me know. Ideally twitter translations stay on twitter.
- Absolutely do not put my content behind a paywall. If I see this, I will change my policy to 'no translations allowed ever'.
