Thank you so much. :)

And I’m really happy to have helped you with any positive change in your life. Part of the reason why I love to do what I do. I do hope your life consitnues on for the better! <3

The background shows that "you're" drawing with your left hand. Are you in real life a lefty?

… OH gosh, I didn’t even realize I did that, haha!

My right hand is actually my dominant hand!

Orlando, you are a glorious person, and I'm fairly certain your heart is 5 times larger than any regular mortal's. Just wanted to get that out in the open.

Oh, jeez… thank you so much, Mando! I try my best to be! 

And hey, you’re pretty great yourself! <3

Why don't you do commissions instead of trying to do everyone's request? I feel as if you really do try really hard, and I as a fan and artist myself can also feel bad not being able to get to everyone.Or you could always have a time slot of when your doing drawings(free request) and have a limit of 10 or so drawings ( however many you want really) then take a beak until next time you feel like drawing again

I do take commissions annually nowadays, I just don’t seem to have the time for it due to school/homework. And with the little amount of free time I usually find myself with, I just like to draw to my own leisure and not have to worry about any priorities for a while. 

I suppose now since folks seem to find interest in my FNAF, I like to casually select from a pool of requests I may get to help fulfill that leisure! (And a part if me still feels like I’m not taking requests, since I’m not completing every single one I receive/making a list of some sort.) :)

From the way things have been for me lately, I’d say the only occasion where I’m able to open for commissions is during the summer, if not the rare couple of times I find myself opening for certain commission times sporadically throughout the year! ^^;

It sucks that people steal your art so often. I always get anxious about art theft. I'm glad you don't let it get you down though.

Ah, it happens! Granted, kind of stunning me how often it’s trying to happen with my FNAF stuff lately, but I tend to get myself reassured a bit with putting my signature in my pieces! I know who makes my pieces so I don’t get discouraged, hehe!

(Also really flattered some folks have said that they seem to recognize my stuff at first glance. That really helps. Thank you so much, guys! <3)

Here's a serious question; how did you get all your exposure? I mean this in a good way, like I want to get my art out there, but it seems stuff I post on here or elsewhere doesn't garner any attention ya know. I guess it also doesn't help I'm normally shy when it comes to stuff like that. On another note, I really admire your cartoon style, and is a great source of inspiration for me. I'm in college for art and you have way more talent than me. Anywho, thanks for your time!

Aw, hehe, thank you so much! Really flattered by that, especially from someone who’s in college studying art themselves! <3

Honestly… I don’t think I could quite narrow it down. I mean, I don’t think I’ve gotten THAT much exposure, but lately my stuff seems to have gotten around because of FNAF artwork. I could say that’s been an extra reason my work may have started to become more known for the past… month or so.

I also feel it was because of promotion I seemed to get from groups with a considerably big following, mainly because I did numerous amounts of art pieces for their particular fandoms.

There’s this puppet show that I started watching about… two or three-ish years ago called ‘Funday Pawpet Show”. They have this segment where, at the end of the show, they show art that viewers may send in of anything related to whatever was discussed on that episode! After seeing what others did, I thought I’d try my hand at drawing funny moments on the show and folks seemed to like it. I kept at it for a few months when suddenly the cast showed my gallery page and apparently told folks where they could see more of my work. (And gosh, those folks that are part of FPS are so sweet, especially in person. <3)

Another bit of promotion I got was from Equestria Daily when they actually had me listed as one of the artists under their monthly ‘Artist Spotlight’. I’m still very surprised and flattered at that, considering I just barely got into doing MLP art on a regular basis on that time.

There have been numerous other cases where folks seemed to share with their friends of my work. All in all, I’d have to say it was because I was drawing constantly, and for a lot of people/groups.

I would do art constantly for people I enjoyed when it seemed appropriate (most noteably FPS), as well as folks I admired! And, I know some folks may think of it as ‘cliche’ to do art work of characters from popular franchises (FNAF, MLP:FIM, etc), but if you’re looking for some extra bit of exposure, it actually does help you go a long way. :)

But definitely post stuff that’s different from what got you that extra bit of exposure as well! Toss in some art of your own characters, characters from different franchises; anything else that can show your range of artistic ability. While it can be helpful to stick with one thing, it’s much more beneficial to show more things that you can do!

But, again, I don’t think I’ve gotten that much ‘exposure’ in my art that I really know what I’m talking about. But, this was part of my journey here, and it only continues from now!

Do you ever get worried that people will dislike your art?

There will always be people out there that will dislike someone’s art! If there are people that don’t like my art for one reason or another, I haven’t really seen/met them yet. :)

Sorry for ask,but what are those things you draw at the finish of their mouth?
Anonymous

No apologies necessary, hehe!

Those would be the nuts/bolts part of a machine! I place them around that area of the mouth as that’s where an animatronic’s mouth seems to start its hinges in order to move!
