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.
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?

I'm fine with either he/him or they/them pronouns. I often use masculine terms to jokingly describe myself (boy, lad, mister etc) but am just nonbinary.
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.
Can I send you something in the mail?

YES! I have a local parcel locker address which you're welcome to mail to, as well as a Throne wishlist that you can purchase directly from. Parcel Locker 10145 48930 108 Percy St PORTLAND VIC 3305
Do you take requests? Will you draw ___ for me?

I don't draw free requests, unless I'm streaming specifically for it. You're welcome to commission me when my commissions are open.
Why bees?

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