FAQ for Those Who Are Curious

Q: What programs do you use to draw?

I use Clip Studio Paint and Aseprite. On my iPad for pixel art, I use Pixsquare which I assume is an Aseprite fork. There's some other Aseprite forks on the app store too. I also sometimes use Toonsquid for basic animation/storyboarding. Both of these programs cost money though. There's free Aseprite forks out there because Aseprite can be freely compiled and is/was FOSS though I don't think there's any on the app store.

Q: What brushes do you use?

The main brushes I use are the default CSP oil brush (I actually change the settings based on what I need at the time), and I also like to use Teromeeka sometimes.

Q: How did you make this page/diary/media logs/etc?

Pages with lots of information are usually made with a combination of PHP and SQL databases. A lot of my pages have frontends but some I edit directly in the database like this one.

Q: What is your writing/dev process?

I think for a while. I write down things in my journal (characters, story arcs, ending). I write the story in Google Docs. I often picture the characters in my head then just go straight to drawing the sprites, but sometimes I need to sketch if I am struggling. I sometimes make a list of assets too especially for game jams.

Q: What inspires you to write/game dev?

Storytelling all I have and is my motivation for living and if I could not tell stories then my life would be over. I first became proficient with computers at a young age (like 9-10) because I wanted to write stories, and I started drawing to assist my stories. Everything is for the sake of it.

Q: I'm interested in web development. Is it possible for me to do (insert task here)?

I don't wanna answer questions about possibilities unless you are doing a task and actively struggling with it.

Q: Where can I send you stuff?

You can send me stuff in this askbox!! Express gratitude or whatever!! I just don't have a guestbook or comments on a lot of social media cause I get overwhelmed and also am not sure how to respond to that kind of stuff, but I like to get stuff here it's good it's fun!! It's called an askbox because asks are easier to respond to but art submissions are fine too!!

I have an email address too but 50/50 chance of me responding because private messages are kind of scary!
