Hello! :D
10 years ago
Hey there everybody!
My name is Sterling, but most people online just call me Silver or SilverBlaze.
After so long of being an artist, and knowing about the furry community and how awesome it is, I finally went ahead and made an FA account.
So, I'm really bad with these intro things, so let's just make it a Q&A thing. :V
Q - Why do you draw?
A - Because I want too. Drawing is an amazing way to tell a story, express a moment or just to show off. And I really like showing off. x3
Q - What got you into drawing?
A - MLP mostly, but to be frank, I've been making pixel art for a super long time. Ever since I got my hands on MSPaint on Windows 95.
Q - How long have you been drawing?
A - I've drawn picture since I was small, but I never really did much until about 3(ish) years ago. When I started watching MLP and got onto Tumblr, I noticed a lot of blogs based around original and show characters, and that made me want to create a character of my own and have people interact with it. It wasn't long before it just took a life of its own and I discovered just how awesome drawing was.
Q - What do you draw?
A - At the moment I draw everything. Pony, Furry and even Monster girl stuff. Although I don't have many pictures that aren't pony art yet, I am slowly building my furry art portfolio.
Q - Do you have a fursona?
A - Not a complete one, but I am working on a design for a Cobra fursona. I have some sketches and a chibi doodle of him in my gallery.
Q - Who's your biggest inspiration?
A - Well, there are a lot of them, but the biggest inspirations I have right now are
lolopan 
miupix and 
slugbox.
Q - Why Slugbox?
A - Why not? Slugbox is an amazing artist, even if he does mainly NSFW, his quality and techniques are top of the line. I've actually learned a lot from watching his streams and copying how he does things. I do the same thing with most of the other artists who inspire me, but Slugbox is by far my main for learning techniques. And besides, he's a super awesome dude. Just so chill and with it. :V
Q - What software do you use?
A - I use a combination of Manga Studio and Photoshop CS2. I do all my sketches, line work and basic flat colours, shadows and highlights in Manga Studio and then bring it into Photoshop for layer effects, line colouring, blurring and gradient shading/highlighting.
Q - Do you do anything else?
A - Yes, I am a programmer, animator, writer and musician. I have many unfinished prototypes for games, hopefully I'll be able to finish one some day. I am also currently working on a chiptune album called BOUND, which was supposed to be released last year(2014), but got pushed back due to life reasons. I hope to have it released this year.
Well that's all the questions I can think of right now. If you have some more questions for me, drop them in a comment and I'll answer it as best I can. ^^
I hope to get to know all kinds of awesome artists here on FA. :3
If you want to check out my artwork, you can find me on DA and Tumblr as well.
