What tools do you use?
A Wacom Intuos Pro medium tablet and a second generation iPad pro with the Apple pencil. The latter is currently my tool of choice.
What programs do you use?
Currently, most of my work is done in Procreate, with postwork and editing done in Photoshop. In the past, I used Photoshop for most of my painting, and I've also used Paint Tool SAI and a little Clip Studio as well.
What brushes do you use?
This varies day to day; I enjoy finding new brushes to play with new textures. In Procreate, I use a mixture of my own personal brushes, some brushes picked up from friends, Procreate's defaults, and some paid brushpacks like Sadie Lew's Sargent's Oils & Drawing Box packs, Wwowly's brushpack, and True Grit Texture Supply's Beat Tones. In Photoshop, I am fond of using a low-opacity square brush to paint.
Where did you go to school?
I have not been to art school, and have no plans to go in the foreseeable future.
Do you take commissions or do freelance work?
Very rarely. Art is not my primary source of income, so my actual job and my classes come first, which leaves me generally very little time + energy to attempt to monetize my art. Check my commission site for slot availability for personal work.
Do you take requests?
Sometimes! If I am, I'll tweet about it. Please do not send me requests outside of those tweets, though, as I won't respond.
Can I use your art as a header, icon, or otherwise?
If I did not make it for you, no. The vast majority of what I draw is other people's characters. You may not use my art or characters for your own purposes without my explicit permission. I do not tend to ask nicely for takedowns before filing formal requests, which will result in account strikes on most platforms.
Can I give you money?
I have physical and digital merch available on Redbubble, TeePublic, and Gumroad, and I am always gratefully accepting your donations via PayPal.
