Q&A Time!
🕑 Added 2025-09-13 16:06:01 +0000 UTCQ: What are you using for drawing?
A: I recently managed to score a great deal on a new Cintiq 22HD (DTK 2260), so that’s currently my main tablet for drawing!Q: What software do you use?
A: I work with TVPaint Animation and Photoshop. Personally, I prefer TVPaint Animation because its layer management makes animation straightforward. Photoshop, on the other hand, offers better export options and higher output quality, so I mostly use it for final exports.Q: What are your plans for Halloween?
A: Instead of a single event, I’m planning to fill the entire (Spo)October with unusual and fantastical beasts! Starting in September, expect daily drops of new hybrids and monsters.
SPOOCTOBER CONTENTQ: Will there be content exclusive to Patreon patrons?
A: Absolutely! There’s already some Patreon-exclusive content, and I’m planning to roll out even more special deals just for patrons.Q: What are your plans for this December? Will there be double daily posts?
A: Expect nothing less! December will be packed with extra content. Santa is coming to Patreon this year, bringing double daily drops. The second daily series, Advent, will be exclusive to Patreon—no public releases, just special treats for patrons!Q: Can you offer Patreon-only content?
A: Yes and no... :/ As a freelance artist relying solely on my art, locking everything behind Patreon isn’t sustainable long-term. However, I do plan to offer patrons more exclusivity. Next year, Tier 10 and above patrons will receive ultra-early access to upcoming bundles and holiday content—Just like I’m testing this approach now, with Spooktober content leaking early to Tier 10 and above, including Croco-Dog, Ali-GATO-rs, and spooky canine emojis. Expect Christmas goodies dropping well before December!Q: Is it true that double daily posts in December will be for patrons only?
A: Yes! This year, the special Advent daily drops will be locked for Patreon patrons. Download access will be exclusive to Patreon for all 25 days of festive lineart.
ADVENT ON PATREONQ: What brushes do you use?
A: I primarily use the basic pencil-style brush provided in my software for sketches and switch to basic ink or clean brushes for lineart (in TVPaint Animation). Brush effects can vary based on your tablet settings and drawing style, so results may differ.Q: How many pets do you have?
A: Six! I have five parrots and one dog.Q: Is there a chance for collaborative emoji sets where patrons submit emotion ideas or poses?
A: Definitely! Visit the 🧠 Suggestion Board and share your ideas for new emoji emotions or poses.

1. Windows laptop + wireless mouse. 2. Firealpacca. Allows me to make gifs and general scenes with the layers. 3. Halloween fills from your older gifs and lines from last year so far. 9. 1 but looking to get another pup to keep my current one company soon. I have a shihtzu/maltese mix. With a lil poodle in her. Her name is RosePetal. I realized this was a QnA for you, but decided to share. Love your lines and doing fills with them soo much. Keep up the great work.
