General
First of all, I'd just like to say a huge thank you to all of the people who have complimented my artwork, noted me asking questions and giving more compliments, asking about commissions and such- you guys are incredible and these past few days have been fantastic, I've been blushing most of the time ;v; <3
Now, onto the FAQ, as a lot of people have had questions so in future I'll link people to this.
**
PERSONAL LIFE
What is your name?
My name is Akiko Hoshi (Ah-Key-Koh // Hoh-She)
What can I call you instead?
Akiko/Aki, Fex, Foxu, Foxiko, Leafy, Lofu -- Whatever you give me really <3
How old are you?
22 (Birthday is July 16th)
Gender?
Female
Relationship Status
Taken (Since 15th May 2012)
Where do you live?
I live in the North West of England
Do you have a fursuit?
No, and I don't plan on having one, sorry !
^ Why?
Because I like the look of them, but suiting is really not my thing :)
How long have you been into furry stuff?
I've drawn furry-related art before knowing it was "furry" since I was about 12 or 13, I had two bunny characters and always drew myself as a fox. I had a little dog character with little horns, a large feral dog with dragon whiskers and so on.
Do you study or work?
I don't work though I make a profit off of my drawings. I'm currently a student on a painting and artists history course, which ends next June.
Fav food?
I'm into Japanese, Chinese and Korean food and it basically what I live off of. Sushi, (proper) Ramen, Rice, Vegetables, Chicken, Pork etc etc
Have you travelled?
Yep, I lived in South Africa for a while when I was a kid, I've been to Paris and almost everywhere in the UK, Scotland and Wales. I moved around a lot as a child so I got to travel more than most can.
Have you met someone online before?
Heck yeah and it was one of the best experiences ! I met him on WoW with my irl friend in school and he travelled to stay with us for a few days. We still keep in contact now and then now, it was so much fun <3
Fav games?
I'm in LOVE with the Kingdom Hearts series ( And if you don't know this, shame on u ) and have been since the games were released. I play League of Legends ( Not as much as I used to, I used to have a mega addiction to this ) And I play WoW when I get the odd month. If we delve into the past, I'd say Jet Set Radio Future, Mad Dash and Fusion Frenzy. Going further, Spyro and Crash Bandicoot B)
Pets?
Get ready to regret asking !!
I've HAD a boxer ( Zeus ) A Persian cat ( Sadsack ), Fish ( Too many to name, we have a pond now too ), A Westhighland Terrier ( Skie, sadly passed recently ), 2 hamsters ( Heartless and Raimundo )
I currently have 2 puppies ( Gibbs and DiNozzo ) and still a pond full of fishies !!
All fish were named after characters in the LOTR and Harry Potter series because me and my family are a bunch of dorks
