General
Hey everyone!
So, I'm here to give the results of the QNA Raffle I did about 12 days ago to celebrate my reaching 100+ watchers here on FurAffinity! It's been a bit of a wait, but 14 people entered, asking questions that I'll be showing below. (If you want to just see the results, feel free to skip.)
---
sgtstitches asks: What's your favorite color and why?
You might think given how OFTEN it's in my gallery that the color would be pink, but... actually I'm a big fan of lilac. I just like the pastel cool colors in general, but as there's only one choice, I'm going with lilac.
DesertDwellerfeller asks: So is abdl apart of your everyday life or is it just something that stays on the internet?
I'm currently 18, and as of responding at the tail end of my senior year of high school. I do own a pacifier that I keep hidden from the family I live with, but besides from that? Yeah, it's mostly on the internet. That's not to say I don't *want* to eventually try irl stuff, but for the time being it's pretty much all internet stuff.
tehcutepyro asks: Is there any sorta artistic theme you really enjoy viewing or creating that isn't a fetish or nsfw topic? Like, surreal horror, medieval fantasy, scifi stuff, etc?
Well, as of genres and ideas, I tend to dabble a lot in both comedy and horror, usually exploring darker themes in stuff that's comical in appearance. So... probably that? Though, if you want a theme that's more *specific*, I'd say mental health is a pretty recurring theme in my work.
trainboyy2014 asks: Do you have a favorite movie? If not, any movie genre you're a fan of?
Not particularly, I don't think? Though like I alluded to, I tend to like horror and comedy, so stuff that combines those elements is generally appealing to me.
ashrafashraf asks: what kind of games do you like to play?
I tend to play a lot of RPGs, and games in which roleplaying can be incorporated. Here's a few examples of games I like for this reason:
-SCP: Secret Lab (on Steam)
-Neverwinter (on Steam)
-Generic Roleplay Gaem (on Roblox)
I also play a lot of Tabletop RPGs, namely Dungeon's and Dragons 5th Edition mostly.
5T3V3N asks: Is it your ultimate ambition to make your living doing art full-time (not necessarily furry art), or is it just a fun hobby for you?
Neither, actually! My main ambition with artwork is just to do it as a "side-job," if you will. Making some extra money while I pursue a sustainable career.
AuroraTheSylvrina asks: What's your favorite diaper design? Doesn't have to specifically be an ABDL brand or one that's currently on the market, just any that you particulary like.
Well, of course I like anything cutesy and pink, anyone looking through my gallery would notice that right away, so I'll go for the less obvious answer: Toon Diapers. Effectively, they're not made to be used, just to look goofy and cute instead, with the big needle thing. I just like how they look.
CyricFionn asks: What got you into drawing initially? Was it just something you enjoyed, or did you want to express yourself in a different way?
Initially? I was actually as a kid inspired by Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, making journals for myself with art inspired by his own. After that, I think the first thing that got me into making art digitally was probably wanting to make fancontent for FNAF and Undertale, and making art of fan characters made by myself and my friends at the time.
UsernamePending asks: Do you have a favorite snack or meal particularly when diapered? Like, something that normally wouldn't be all that special but is really nice when padded up.
I... Actually haven't worn a *real* diaper yet. I still live with family, and I don't want to get caught with that stuff. Though, I'd imagine alphabet soup would definitely hit different in a little space.
screweverything asks: You mentioned that you're a fan of D&D, do you have any particularly memorable characters from the games you've played? Have you posted any drawings of them on your account?
Hm. Well, not on THIS account, but... one in mind is Conrad Mayhem, a tiefling sorcerer who's origin was based off of stereotypical edgy rival character backstories. Effectively, to be given magic by some mad scientist, he was repeatedly magically electrocuted over the course of several years, eventually losing the ability to feel pain as a trauma response and suffering severe, crippling PTSD that made him seem to be a husk. A living weapon if you will. Here's some old art of the character in question. I drew him a lot but I don't have anything else posted if I recall correctly.

the_trashman asks: Among more "Traditional" art styles, that is to say, non-digital art, what is your favorite Art Style?
I actually initially misunderstood what the question was when I initially answered with "So like... An actual title? I mean, I've always been a fan of shapey art styles akin to people like Sleepykinq/Mad Doctor, I guess. I don't know many official titles nowadays." so I'll give another answer now: I've always been a fan of the aesthetic of impressionism. I know that's a kinda basic answer, but it feels airy and nostalgic, almost like a memory I don't have.
sor3n asks: What are your top furry species? To draw, or just to look at, either works.
If they have to be original species, there was this whole species on Deviantart once called Wyngro, or something similar, and it was like, this whole setting and lore for it. It was cool. If we're talking in general and not original... I like goats and sheep.
Samuel98 asks: Any favorite toys or stuffed animals you have? Like anything sentimental from childhood or anything?
Nothing sentimental, no. But, I did this Easter get a plush lamb and squid in a gift basket. That was nice.
StarFoth asks: How did you learn how to draw/who taught you?
There's a specific how to draw anime book which I think was my first introduction to things like anatomy and complex drawing methods like that: The Master Guide to Drawing Anime: How to Draw Original Characters from Simple Templates by Christopher Hart. (Had to Google it-- don't have the book on my person anymore)
It's definitely a *flawed* book in my eyes and encourages concepts like same face syndrome, but it also had a lot of foundations that I've used to this day, and I don't think I'd have had as strong a start artistically if I didn't first look into that book. My art looked like shit, sure, but that sort of platform helped me to grow into the artist I am now. So... yeah. Overall, that book was probably the main "teaching" tool I had.
As of some more MODERN examples... I actually learned how to do the style of shading I do from a Youtuber called Ponder Sprocket. I love her content a LOT, and I'd recommend if you're interested in commentary videos and deconstructions. (I also use a "relief" tool to give that soft lighting/shading look you see in some of my pieces, and to have a guide on where the lighting/shading is on the piece)

With that out of the way, every person who asked a question was entered into the raffle once to potentially get a fullbody colored piece on a simple background. I spun using Wheel Decide in order to get an answer, and livestreamed the spinning of the wheel on my Discord server for integrity's sake. And, the result was...

Samuel98 Samuel98! Congrats to them!
They've been sent a note already informing them of their win, and asking what they may want their prize to be. If they don't respond 7 days from me publishing this journal, I'll be spinning again and noting a new winner. Thank you to everyone who entered for asking questions, and thank you everyone who's watched me for supporting my content and what I do! I'll be doing another raffle like this at 200 watchers (assuming I reach that milestone) so keep an eye out!
See ya!
