7. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

man i wanted to be SOOOO many different things when i was a kid and just about all of them were stem related. however i will tell you the answer that amuses me the most! when i was a kid i LOVEDDDD pokemon so much and i would constantly daydream about pokemon becoming real and having my own pokemon team. i was super convinced that i could make a machine that could make pokemon real. SOOOO if i go look back in my elementary school yearbook, i put my future occupation as engineer bcuz little 10 year old me was like “that’s the fancy word for inventor, right?” i did not care about making anything that could’ve bettered society, i just wanted to have my own pikachu 🗣️

11. What is a childhood quirk you never grew out of?

i’d always tug at the waistband of my pants even if they were pulled all the way up and sometimes i still catch myself doing it….just gotta adjust them man

24. What hobby/activity do you keep saying you’ll take up when you retire?

i don’t think this counts as a hobby but i always say i can’t wait to be an old lady and just sit on the porch in a rocking chair all day :D

22. If you could bring back an extinct species (with no major consequences) what would it be?

heyyy looking forward to your f1 au! is it going to be terribly slow burn? i must know for my sanity haha

hai haiii!!! i’m not sure what’s considered terrrrrrriblyyyyy slow burn but it’ll def be slow burn :3

actually i say that, but with the way the way things are planned in my head rn, there’s a whole year before we even get to sage and viper being teammates so like……tzahahaha! but with the way it’s paced in my head it shouldn’t be too terribly slow just slow enough ykwim? :D

Okay so for the artist ask game you reblogged, I'm curious about 4, 11, 12, and 30 :DD (Also sorry this is somewhat late, I meant to send an ask when I saw your reblog but then I totally forgot about it lmao)

omg no need to be sorry at all!!! you could’ve asked these questions 20 years from now and i’d still be so appreciative :DD

4. piece you wish got more love?

a few came to mind! i wish this (& this!) oc piece did better. i rly like how the face turned out :DD i also wish this viper sketch got just a bit more love only bcuz its my fav viper drawing ive done!! i don’t think i’ll ever be able to draw her face so perfectly again GAH!

11. do you listen to anything while drawing?

yea absolutely!! i can’t even imagine drawing in silence LOL. i used to mainly listen to music while drawing (id just loop whatever song was stuck in my head at the moment). thennnn i started listening to video essays more or id put my fav youtubers on in the background while i drew. nowadays i mainly put on twitch streams in the background while i draw but sometimes i’ll still listen to music or youtube :D in fact i’ll even bounce back and forth between twitch and youtube or twitch and music

12. describe your process while drawing

my process is 90% scrolling through pinterest and 10% actually drawing LMAO. i really will spend an hour minimum scrolling through pinterest before i actually draw 😭 i’ll find several pics i wna reference and then i get straight to drawing! im terribly lazy as an artist so i don’t wna spend energy warming up (though i probably should OOPS)… if im attempting to do a fully rendered piece the process is: pinterest for 50 million hours —> sketch —> flat colors —> paint over sketch and flats —> get lazy and never finish

i HATEEEEEE doing lineart GRRR sometimes i’ll clean up my sketches and that’s basically the lineart step for me. very rarely do i actually attempt to do proper lineart its just SOOO TEDIOUSSSS and a lot of times i like the messiness and texture of my sketches way better! i feel like whenever i do lineart it just looks so bland and lifeless <//3 that being said i actually do wanna practice doing lineart bcuz there are so many artists i like that do wonderful line work (alex raymond, takehiko inoue, and hirohiko araki just to name a few of my favs :DDD) and i wna be able to do cool line work too!!! i just get very frustrated with it a lot of times LOL

sorry that ended up turning into a ramble about lineart i hope you don’t mind 😭

30. whats something youre proud of about your artstyle?

this one is actually a tough question! i’m not even the biggest fan of my own art style but if i had to choose something im proud of how i draw faces :]] faces are my fav things to draw and i think im okayyyy at diversifying the features i give to characters though that’s something i def gotta work on more :D

does that even count as an answer….i didn’t rly single out a particular feature of my style…in fact im not even sure i know how to idk what the hell defines my style i wont lie 😭 i hope the answer satisfies you though :]]

thank you so very much for the questions i rly enjoyed answering them!!!! :DDD i hope you don’t mind the ramble-y answers LOL
