***What I Do:***

I draw in my spare time when I feel like it: which is pretty rare these days sadly. Work and adulting while also trying to learn and do what you love, is difficult to balance and not feel like time is short. . I love gaming, it takes up most of my time- if not, watching videos and shows/movies. If I am to hang out with anyone, I would be more into gaming with a friend than doing other activities. I love survival games most: crafting, building, hoarding, & story (if applicable); Ex: Raft, Valheim, Subnautica. On the side, I like small/easy games: Kingdom New Lands, Risk of Rain 2, Barony, etc.

***Personality/Interests:***

I'm really not an un-approachable person, in fact, I seem to 'be' approachable more than I seem. I like it when someone has something in common and starts talking- and is nice. Even if it's kinda random- even from me- I like it when people actually listen to me for once, and I can and will listen back. Normally, honestly- especially IRL- I prefer to be alone to do my own things I love: like drawing, youtube, or playing games. I LOVE manga (specially shounen-ai fantasy); and I'm a Kingdom Hearts Fan Freak Otaku (and well, obviously Undertale+AUs as well~).

Pretty chill and laid back these days, I try to avoid the world and it's fk'ery.

Online is my hide away and able to show more sides of myself easier and tell it like is as well, but in a good way.

(Did i mention I tend to type *alooot*? More than I'd ever speak.)

If wanna be close or friends, or at least a bit acquainted; be prepared for honesty- but not like those people who say it to be mean or jerks. I kinda try to help people with their wrongs or troubles- if they want or ask, or if it bothers me. Also, I admittedly struggle with super hyper chatty people, as I like to have a fair back and forth chat, aaand I don't have much energy myself anymore these days..

***Software/Tools I Use:***

Rather than using multiple density pencils, most of my graphic art and drawings are done by mechanical pencil, rather than HB1-F2 kind of deal pencils- but I could or will use them sometimes.

* Adeptly use to Sai.exe 1.0 program.

**Use a XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro Drawing Monitor tablet~

• Pros: On-screen drawing; very adjustable Stand; replaces monitor so do not need one; larger is actually better- imo; more than 4 shortcut keys- has *16* (tho i only use 8)

• Cons: . . . I still hate calibrating pens. Wish it was automatically to tip of pen, WHY! ;; the XP-Pen Program you have to download to use: doesn't often work with some art programs. I have to reset my shortcut key's links and re-add Sai to the program every time I have to restart computer. BUT, this could be just because my Sai program was.. 'a gift' lol'..

*****So Summary: PLEASE be kind/gentle. I get sad/depressed easily...If you do not like my art or me, simply click away and say nothing! How one should be with anyone: moving on. Small suggestions on fixing something is ok tho! No need to harass me or other artist. Thank you!~*****
