FAQ

[ What do you use to create your paintings and drawings? ]

Most of my drawings and paintings are digital, created using computer software.
I use the following software: Clip Studio Paint, GIMP, Krita, Rebelle, Aseprite, and Procreate (iPad drawing app). When drawing with Clip Studio Paint, I frequently use modified default brushes as well as brushes from sets created by Frenden and Paolo Limoncelli.

Occasionally I will create paintings using traditional materials. Here is a list of materials I use:
Ink (Winsor and Newton), Watercolors (various brands), Soft Body Acrylic Paint (Liquitex), Ballpoint Pen, Mod Podge, and a 0.3mm Mechanical Pencil.

[ What software do you use for 3D modeling? ]

I use the following software for 3D modeling: Blender, 3D-Coat, ZBrush, Sculptris, Nomad (iPad sculpting app), and xNormal. 

For my lowpoly and retro CGI work I used Blender 2.79b, I find it to be quicker to use and the deprecated Blender Render engine works well for recreating the look of older CGI. However, when working with the Cycles render engine I will use a more recent version of Blender.

[ How do you get that dithering effect in some of your images? ]

The dithering is a product of indexing the image’s colors with a web-safe color palette to reduce the file size. I usually use GIMP for this, but Aseprite can also index the color of images and has more dithering effects. 

 

[ May I create a character based on a species/character from one of your projects? ]

I am not comfortable with others creating characters based on my work, I am sorry.

[ Do you sell adoptable character designs? ]

I do not sell adoptable character designs.

[ Can I use an image of yours as an icon/avatar? ]

I am not comfortable with my art being reposted. However, clients who have commissioned me may use the art I created for them as an avatar.

[ Can I use an image of yours for a tattoo? ]

I’m not okay with my art being used for tattoos. However, clients who have commissioned me may use the art I created for them as reference for a tattoo.

[ Is it okay if I use an image of yours as a wallpaper for my phone/desktop? ]

As long as my art isn’t being reposted or edited, it’s fine to use my art as a personal wallpaper for a phone/desktop.

[ Do you have high-resolution versions of your artworks available for download / purchase? ]

I am still searching for an appropriate platform for selling packs of high-resolution artworks, but my work often depicts nude figures so finding a platform has been difficult. In the meantime, there are wallpapers available for purchase through my [ Ko-fi shop ] and some higher-resolution versions of my work available through [ Patreon. ]
