RESPONSES (not in order) ((HAVE FUN READING))

Starting with this question!! Ah yes, my son Volt. While this silly 12-year-old is my mascot, he is NOT me (and for the record, I'm not 12 either XD). Though, to those of you who know me well, you'll know that some of his character traits are exaggerated bits of myself as a child (if I told you a story about myself without saying it was me, you might mistake it for Volt lore ).

What does he represent? He was originally an AOTU World OC I created for silly roleplay purposes, so he wasn't meant to represent anything, but now I think he's like the living embodiment of optimism and energy that I sorely need in my life. TLDR; he's a kid's show shonen anime protagonist.

Aside from the fact that I'm writing this at 1 in the morning, I'm doing well! Thank you for your concern,, I really appreciate it

Do I enjoy what I do? If you mean drawing, then yes of course!! It's the one hobby that I've stuck with for as long as I can remember. Just like with lots of other hobbies, I started out doing it purely for fun. Being able to express yourself through different mediums is something I love doing! Now, if you mean posting on social media?? the TLDR is that someone invited me here years ago and I've had fun posting here ever since! I originally wanted to share my love for video games and give love to fandoms that needed it, which is why my older posts were mostly NSR or Pokemon Fanart, but it evolved from there the more I interacted with the community!

Assuming this question is aimed at me and not my son, I would say that I've always gravitated toward Chica's design over the others. Maybe because they're a chicken and I do love birds quite a bit To be honest with you, I never really followed the FNAF series outside of watching the Game Theory videos from back in the day, so my knowledge is extremely limited. But Chica's cool, so there you go! Thanks for the question!!

OOH... that's a good question. I think, currently I'm trying to improve a little bit of everything. Though, my biggest weaknesses at the moment are probably:

  • Drawing Scenery (and using perspective in general)

  • Understanding and Using Values

  • Drawing different body types (and drawing women)

There are lots more things I need to learn that aren't listed here, but I'm trying to focus on values right now because it'll elevate my colouring even more. I LOVE vibrant colours if you couldn't already tell, and anything that'll improve that is a win for me!

This is a fun one too! I can't really pinpoint one specific genre I enjoy over others because my tastes change from moment to moment, so how about I just show you a select few songs I've been listening to recently?

Mili - Between Two Worlds [Limbus Company] (or ANY Mili song for that matter, I can't decide)

YUNGBLUD - Abyss (from Kaiju No. 8) (Never finished the anime, but the song is AMAZING)

ENHYPEN (엔하이픈) 'Brought The Heat Back' (this inspired a drawing you may or may not see later...)

If I Fall (From Transformers One) ((EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH THE MOVIE))

One Ok Rock - Vandalize (NOT the version you hear in Sonic Frontiers...)

If you're willing to reveal yourself, I'm more than willing to trade song recs, I'm always looking for more music to listen to while I draw (and I have so many more kinds of music not shown here HUDSJF)

Believe me, I want to try and analyze your texting style to figure out who you are, but the more pressing matter here is WHAT DID I DROP??? AND WHERE CAN I PICK IT UP??? I don't think this messaging site allows me to see emojis

(and thank you I'll keep working hard to improve so that I am worthy of the following.)


And to the rest of you who sent me well wishes and kind comments, I can't thank you enough for the support!! All those nice things you said to me, I'm turning it back on YOU. YOU'RE AWESOME AND TALENTED AND DESERVE NICE THINGS.

2 Attacks: https://artfight.net/~Swiftdoodlez + https://artfight.net/~ZeeXe and: https://artfight.net/~saop

The first of which took around a week or more, the other only a couple of days. I need to practice effectively placing values...

My Artfight: https://artfight.net/~SmudgedVolt

Chibi Prize for @RedKatze ! (OC: Nathaniel)

(Prize #1 from the Art Raffle I hosted months ago)

Only one more to finish, I know for sure next time I host one of these to clear my schedule and mentally prepare so the delays don't happen again

Silent Glow - Unitas (OC)

Drawn on Krita, streamed the process on Discord for all 2 of my closest friends (but only one came)

Consider this the rare art drop of the month and my attempt at redemption after I drew this one: https://gamejolt.com/p/silent-contemplation-subject-unitas-oc-kr…

2nd attack on artfight !! Oc belongs to Mannequinn

Revenge for: https://artfight.net/~Melloobee

(1st of the year!)

I've been dabbling in this artstyle more these days. I hope to improve my skills in portraying characters properly + drawing scenery this year.

attack on riotsuff !

Artfight Attack for: https://artfight.net/~Leafgale

As you know, I'm not typically drawing on mobile. But nothing is stopping me from trying to improve! Really wanted to draw him last year but ran outta time.

My Artfight: https://artfight.net/~SmudgedVolt

I'm participating in Artfight 2025!

Link: https://artfight.net/~SmudgedVolt

Like last year, I'll try to return every attack with equal or higher quality.

It'll take some time for me to get everything back up and running on GJ. Thank you for your endless patience!

Final batch of commissions xD

While Unitas is all frowns and serious business, Aeterna is...whimsical. Silly, even. Don't let that fool you.

(Life update: I've taken to reading books again, and I'm trying to exercise more frequently. Life is starting to feel more balanced again.)
