shepminsterabbey-deactivated201 asked: I've seen you experiment with so many different things, it's always great to see your work evolve the way it has. After all is said and done, do you have a favorite medium or style? Or at least one you enjoy the most? Not to say that it's mutually exclusive for you, just curious about what your thoughts of your own work are. :0) c[_]
Aah, thank you so much, shep! <3
In terms of medium, I definitely enjoy working digitally! I’m more comfortable (let alone more ‘successful’) working with that medium! But I have a significant amount of lover for traditional work as well! (Especially since it’d not as simple to portray art with a pencil as it is with a tablet/undo options!)
And.. not sure if i understood what you meant by my 'favorite style’ about my work (and I apologize if I answer it wrong here), but I actually have no specific opinion. I get equal amounts of joy with whatever i do traditionally as I do digitally, even if I’m trying something new with how I draw/interpret things! Granted, digital is something I’m more favored towards for fully fleshed out/finished pieces, but I enjoy trying to draw new things in any case) <3
starryeyeddeerdog asked: Would a big water mark help with the FNaF art? I would love to see how you draw Springtrap. You can make the most scary animations from those games into the cutest darn things ever!
‘Fraid not. There has been a case scenario where even my bigger watermarks were removed by someone from an FNAF piece. And that definitely was a line crossed for me. (Even then, folks may likely still choose to repost on image sharing sites without any proper credits.)
While I do appreciate folks liking my interpretations of the FNAF crew, thefts/edits over my works is something I do not take lightly, and it gradually drove me away from being comfortable posting any more of it (thus, by default, also from drawing it). Plus, it’s honestly been a big weight off my shoulders not feeling 'obligated’, or even expected, to make art on a consistent base of the same characters over and over again. I still love them, by all means, but it’s repetitive. And gives the wrong impression of what folks could more than likely expect of me on a usual basis.
ratkweeen asked: can you draw the characters of FNAF3 please :D
My apologies, but please take note of my profile description.
… I already love the previous games for what they are, but by god, I am seriously impressed by Scott with FNAF3 here.
This is the first time I actually jumped a bit in my seat from a jumpscare. Serious case of horror vibe here. :’D
(Now to actually try and understand how to defend myself here, haha!)
http://www.twitch.tv/dawkosgamesSomeone’s playing FNAF 3 o_o
(I’m not really watching this myself ‘cause I don’t want to spoil anything for myself, but for those that want early peaks… you maaay wanna go over here! :’D)
peridotalison asked: I remember when I was in 3rd-5th grade I used to recolor and trace art and post it on deviant art. I thought I was pretty cool and slowly grew into my own art style. honestly I don't think it's anything to worry about. usually it's just little kids.
*nods* Understandable! Of course, we all trace over other art when we wanted to draw (myself included with screenshots from tv shows when I was younger).
True, it could be as harmless as just a little kid, but it’s just as likely that a teenager who really knows how bad it is to do things like trace art is.. well, tracing art. And if you do that with my work… while I prefer it not be done at all, I would at least appreciate folks not posting it anywhere, not taking credit for the original piece, and that the work being traced not be of my/anyone elses’ character(s).
But anything that goes past this, I definitely don’t tolerate with my work, no matter your age. Especially if folks draw/color over it. <:)
sidney-the-awkward-fandom-horse asked: User captain_the_fox on Instagram traced your art
Okay, yeah, I definitely want to bring attention to this person.
Thank you for letting me know about this, especially reminding me of where I recalled seeing someone simply drawing over/recoloring my drawings. Especially since (ironically enough) this person says they do art themselves and this definitely gives the wrong impression. Would appreciate if this person could remove these pictures at the very least. <:)
Also:
Just got these alerts on this use in my ask box as well. I (as well as other artists they have taken pictures from, I’m sure) would appreciate any bit of credit, if not removal, at the very least.
Ah, thank you guys for letting me know! <3 (And by all means, please don’t apologize for letting me know about these things! I sincerely appreciate hearing about this sort of thing! It’s not the most pleasant news, sure, but I do appreciate knowing to at least confirm actual artists of certain pieces.)
(And as a subtle reminder, as I do have the occasional few folk still wondering why I don’t draw anymore FNAF stuff these days: honestly, reasons like this is hy it drove me away. Especially with that the first user mentioned seems to be doing.)
theauroreandragon asked: I have to ask... Just curiosity, do you ever draw any nsfw pic?
Nah! Sure, I have drawn things that people could interpret to be on the brink of being something more ‘suggestive’, but drawing things that go past general rating aren’t really my thing! (Nothing against 'em! Art is art in my book. But that’s just me!)
Plus (I know I’ve brought this up numerous times before, but I am still a minor. Technically not allowed to even be looking at that sort of stuff, much less drawing it. (Though if for figure studies, I do choose nude models, haha!)
nesnayu asked: Hey, could You give me some Tipps about Drawing cartoony dogs? I Cant get the Faces right..
Heya!
Can’t say I could really offer tips, since there’s a variety of ways one could go about toonifying any animal, especially canines! At best, it is very helpful to understand anatomically accurate structure of a dog before you styalize it into a simpler format. That and human anatomy, if wanting to make them more anthropomorphic. (And I use ‘anthropomorphic’ in the strict, but 'looser’ sense of the meaning of the word; giving more human characteristics/qualities to things that are not human. So not necessarily just a dog head with a human body and a tail. :) )

The thought’s never initially crossed my mind to make one of these, since I don’t necessarily do consistent things on a consistent basis, but it seemed interesting to have, so why not!
My Patreon description goes over what to expect for the most part, but in a nutshell, I plan to post sketches/doodles of things I don’t plan to post anywhere else, as well as sketch/WIP phases of drawings I’ve completed or at least am working on!
So, I suppose… pretty much what I already do now on any of my social media sites, but more!
No specific schedule is had in mind other than to post something (at least once or twice) a week! Be it traditional or digital, random ideas or things I’m working on for higher priority reasons (projects, college portfolio, etc), there will be things!
And, yes, no mistake on the ‘rewards’ section, I simply have the ’$1 or more a month’ option open. Given this won’t be the most professional thing, and the thing I’m 'dedicating’ myself to do with it is pretty much what I’d do with my art anyway, I don’t want to seem like I’m charging much. Plus, since there’s option to contribute any amount amount you’d want each month, I wanted to leave option open to folks!
But.. yeah! Feel free to check it out if you choose to do so! (And please, don’t feel obligated to give if you’re not able, simply don’t want to, or any other reason! I appreciate any bit of mere consideration! I will still post art pretty much as often as I do now! There just may be even more things to see from me in Patreon!)
Thank you guys! <3
