FAQ-Things that you may or may not have asked/wanted to know about me
Since you are graduating from high school, what are your future plans for your account? Will you be too busy to do RP'ing or draw pictures for your RP groups anymore?
...I bought this up in a journal I wrote earlier (which I deleted accidentally) but yes and no. While I find myself drifting away from deviantart and roleplaying (due to personal interest and my busy life) I can't stop it altogether. I really adore roleplaying, and I have met some fantastic people on this website that I would love to get to know more outside deviantart (through skype, tumblr, etc.) as I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone of forging "internet friendships" with people. I already consider many of you my friends (although I have no idea if you feel the same way) and I don't really want to loose the sense of community I have received through the people on this website.
However, at the same time I have to give more attention to my real-life community, as much as it pains me, and accept that I am a responsible adult now and I should act as such.
I'll probably post a lengthy journal about this later, maybe at the end of summer when my college officially begins.
How long have you been drawing?
Since I was three and I yelled at my mother to draw an apple. It has been an obessive hobby ever since.
What program do you use for your art?
Sai, and I'm planning to get Flash in the near future.
How did you come up with your eye style?
I was mainly influenced by the Gravity Falls eye style. Actually, my eye style is exactly like theirs except the eyes are spaced out. Heh heh.
What gender are you?
I'M A GIRL. No, I have been mistaken for a boy before, for whatever reason. I think its due to the fact of me mainly creating guy RP characters, but I honestly prefer RP'ing guys than girls (I have no idea why).
How do you get your ideas for your comics?
By observing the world around me. Usually I take inspiration from my family, friends, news, movies, real-life experiences. If you are at a loss of ideas look no further than your own life. Life is the funniest comic of them all.
What mediums do you work with?
*takes deep breath* Scrapbook paper, buttons, oil paints, pastels, watercolor, pencils, crayons, digital (sai, gimp, ipiccy), sharpies, makers, pens, watercolor pencils, gel pens, copics, photography-and I do jewlery on the side. Out of those though my favorites would have to be digital, pencils and scrapbook paper. How old are you?
Eighteen. (If you didn't see by the thing NEXT TO MY NAME).
I love your characters! How do you make a good RP character?
I'm making a tutorial about this but...the best advice I can give you is to model them off of people you know in real life. I'm sure they have flaws but perks as well-the making of a well-rounded character. All of my RP characters have elements of me or my friends, actually.
Can you join my RP group? Pleeeeaassseeeee? I'll make you a mod.
This is actually really irrates me when people do this-I choose what groups I want to join and mod (if I like the idea enough or I feel I can contribute something worthwhile). If you are a really good friend of mine or I respect/worship you I may join but otherwise...sorry. Best of luck with your group, though!~
Hey you are already in tons of RP groups and your artwork's pretty solid. Why don't you make your own already?
Let me get one thing straight-I am a terrible leader. I am terrible at dealing with drama, resolving conflict, creating events, sticking with things-setting me up with a group would be a recipe for disaster. That's why I'd rather just join as a member and sit on the sidelines if any drama unfolds. Lately though I've been trying to get out of my comfort zone and mod things but that's the extent I'll go, really.
Can you critique my app _____? Please?
Since I want everyone to have equal chance of getting into their desired group I'd be happy to look it over. However, I'd much rather if you sent me a note or replied to a critiquing session I sometimes post on group pages than post on my profile. Its just a small pet peeve of mine. However, if you're kind of rude or snarky in your ask I'll just ignore it all together.
Why are u not responding to our RPs????
Sometimes I'm just so tired that I don't want to continue a particular RP, or I have absolutely no idea how to continue it. I'll try to continue my RPs but it may take a while due to...procrastination issues.
OMG want to be friends?
Um...sure I guess...? I mean, if you ask straight out to be my friend that's going to be kind of awkward. Its better to just talk to me and get to know me (although honestly I'm not very social outside my RP groups so if I may seem a bit hesitant and cold towards you, I'm terribly sorry). If you really want to talk to me (heavens knows why) I guess just join the same RP groups as me and I'll be more open with you.
*insert question about personal life here*
I never give out my personal information or even really converse about life-related-things with other people on the internet (except in journals when I feel like it affects my art quality or quanity). I have a trust issue when it comes to people whose faces I can't see, and, outside of RP'ing, I don't like talking (I was really relutant to reveal my age but I thought I should tell it SOMETIME).
I'm flattered that you want to get to know more about me and if you're really desperate I guess you can just look at my tumblr. I'm very active on there. But otherwise I'm a shy, young, brown-haired female who likes to draw. That's all you need to know.
ACK I love you art! Can you draw my character _______?
NO. I mean, it depends. If I really love their design and something sparks, you may get a picture out of me. Or if you're a good friend of mine/a friend of a friend and I want to do something for you. Otherwise, please no. I have enough to do.
However I frequently offer free pictures so keep checking back. C: You may land a slot.
OH OH OH can you make a tutorial about _____? Plleeeaasseeee?
I'm flattered, really but I can't make any promises. Tutorials are a ton of work and sometimes some of the things I do are just impossible for me to put into words. (The challenge of making a scrapbooking tutorial is really daunting...). Sorry.
Why are you drawing so much of ______? Why don't you draw more of _______?
My interests vary. I have a habit of going through "character phases." Meaning that I'll draw a ton of artwork of one character and move on to the next. I try to give all my OCs equal love but I pick favorites-I can't help it. The same goes for movies too-I try to draw more ROTG artwork but bigger and more interesting things just keep getting in the way.
Are you single?
...yes...
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I'm not sure...I want to intern at Pixar and get an art major but other than that...I dunno. Maybe make comics and sell at conventions maybe...?
Besides drawing what else do you do?
My other real passion is music and theater. I do a lot of singing and acting (I'm going to seriously pursue it as a side job or a hobby). I also write stories. I think my writing skills need work but I've had people tell me I'm really good so...I guess I'm alright.
How do I become good at art?
There are no short cuts. Practice makes perfect. Draw every day and believe me, you'll see improvement.
