A little FAQ
7 months ago
◈FAQ - Periodically Updated◈
Wanted to put a little FAQ thing here for quite some time now, I've just been too busy with current commissions (which explains the massive halt to any kind of uploads here) to do anything about it until now.
◈When did you come to FurAffinity?◈
December 5th, 2013. I didn't do a whole lot with it for about 2-3 years after I made the account. I really started using it around 2016 seeing how I graduated that year and was completely free.
I originally came from DeviantArt, this was way before the site became an absolute mess as it is now.
I deleted that DA account some time later, I forget when but I'm glad I did it, needing a subscription to be able to customize your page (along with other things) was fucking stupid.
◈What do you use to draw?◈
A drawing tablet, Huion Kamvas 13 to be exact, something I was recommended when I was asking around for a somewhat cheap tablet with a screen.
I got it mainly for my laptop seeing how the colors on the screen were washed out, messing with the laptop's settings didn't fix it one bit.
But now that I have a desktop (with a monitor that has accurate color), I don't need the screen, I can just plug it in without turning it on and it's good to go.
As for the drawing program(s); Clip Studio Paint 4 EX and Paint Tool Sai 2.
CSP 4 EX; My main drawing program, it's a good drawing program despite it's controversies within the community. It's like Photoshop but with less features.
Paint Tool Sai 2; I've been switching over to this when it comes to linework or long/curved objects, it has a REALLY good figure tool that makes them easier to work with. Linework also looks better in it as well.
CSP has a tool like that but I don't like how it works.
◈How long have you been drawing?◈
I've been drawing my whole life, but I started going digital in 2011.
I started with a really shitty tablet that had a pen that required batteries, that pen didn't last long because the next time I went back for it, it was all bent out of shape. I eventually got a decent Wacom one, I remember it being pretty big, no screen though which was fine. Then I went for smaller and cheaper Wacom tablets over the years, and now I have a Huion Kamvas 13 with a screen.
The Huion one has probably gotta be my best/favorite one so far, it's pretty gentle with the pen tips too so I don't have to change it every so often like I did with my Wacom ones. Hell, I never have to since I'm not seeing any wear down on the current tips so that's a huge plus.
Fun Fact; When I had my old laptop for years before getting a new one, I had the bright idea to not put all my old art onto an external hard drive, so all the old art from 2011-2015 had been deleted.
Although I think it was more so the fact that it was so god damn ugly that I deleted it all out of embarrassment, I should of kept it so I could look at how far I've come in my artstyle.
◈Why does it take you so long to do art?◈
Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew, and lately I've been having issues with my ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), which I've been getting medication for (which aren't working atm). I feel like once I get that under control, you'll probably see more uploads here and there.
And with that ADD, I tend to get distracted by countless other things VERY often, like working on non commission stuff (iex; my oc's) or spending the whole day doing nothing.
My motivation has also been suffering, something I also need to work on as well.
I also happen to get stressed with my work very easily, taking multiple breaks or flat out not working on anything for a couple days.
◈How long does it take to get a commission done?◈
Depends on the commission type and how many commissions I have going at the moment. If I'm only doing one com and I have no other coms waiting, they usually take a couple weeks up to a month depending on what's in the commission.
Stickers are probably my worst, even though I only do 10 at a time, it ends up taking months before they're finished.
Multiple coms at a time can also get a little bit bad, usually when I'm working on more than 5 coms at a time, it's not as bad as the stickers thankfully, although it can still get overwhelming.
◈What happened to the Trello?◈
The Trello is back now under a somewhat different name, mainly because I didn't realize the Google Drive straight up shows my email on it. I absolutely hate that. Trello links will be sent via Notes only from now on, it will no longer be linked in my profile or anywhere else.
