FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

"What do you use to create your art?
My program of choice is currently Clip Studio Paint, but some older art in my portfolio was done with Adobe Photoshop. As for my 'tablet', I use an HP Omnibook laptop."Do you take commissions?"
Occasionally; my commissions are often closed so I can work on other projects, but you can follow me on my VGen linked above for active updates."What are the best ways to support you?"
Monetary support via Patreon, VGen, Ko-Fi and ACGGoods are highly appreciated, but even just engaging with my work is enough; sharing my posts, watching and commenting on my YouTube videos, reading my comics, etc."What stories inspired you the most?"
A lot more than I can list or even remember, but most of my biggest inspirations were Webtoons and comics I read when I was a teen. For example, Vermilya was influenced by Lalin's Curse, Daybreak, The Four of Them, Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun, LMLY and more.
