What are your digital brush settings?

My go-to brushes are Mr Natural (from Kyle's Adobe Brushes) and Crustpunk (made myself). Other than these, I try to stick to a program's default brushes wherever I can, just out of convenience. The default brushes I use are the Design Pencil, G-Pen, Gouache Blender, and Soft Airbrush (Clip Studio Paint). All my own custom brushes and fonts can be downloaded from my Patreon page with a $1 donation.
What's your shipping address?

I've had some issues with identification at my local post office, due to using a non-legal name online. I don't really want to leave my full legal name out here, so if you'd like to send me something, please ask so I can supply you the name and address privately. You can also purchase or contribute to items directly off my Throne wishlist!
How can I support you for free?

Engaging with my content and recommending it to others is one of the best ways to support. Things like telling your friends and retweeting my advertisements make a huge difference! Watch/lurk my stream and turn on live notifications Host or raid with your own viewers. You can read any of my comics online for free! Like, leave a comment, or link it to a friend. Leave a rating on Webtoon. Donate for free by watching ads to earn Tapas Ink. Disable your adblocker or whitelist my comics when browsing Tapas. I also love seeing fanart and hearing your thoughts about the stories, which you can share in my open Discord server! When you see someone on Twitter looking for emote artists or VTuber riggers, tag me in their replies!
What are your pronouns/gender/sexuality?

I'm fine with either he/him or they/them pronouns. I default to masculine terms and titles to refer to myself, but I'm nonbinary and fine with any terms when it's just joking around (go off sis etc). I'm ace & biromantic.
How long have you been drawing?

I've drawn for as long as I can remember. My family always encouraged it, and I looked up to my grandmother, aunts and great aunts who were all painters in some way. I got my first digital art tablet in high school. I'm self taught, but did have one or two art-centred courses during my Game Design degree.
Do you take requests? Will you draw ___ for me?

I will occasionally ask for requests on Tumblr, but I can't guarantee I'll draw everything sent to me. You can always commission me for specific art ideas when I'm available.
Why bees?

Bees are cute. They're brightly coloured, work incredibly hard all the time, and only put good things out into the world.
