Land of Maple Syrup and snow.

🌿 What is your age?
Old enough to really not give a shit about most things

🌿 When is your birthday?
I’m an Aquarius.

🌿 Is art your job?
No. I most literally make negative money off my art.

🌿 What do you do as a living then?
9-5 day job that pays the bills and keeps me out of trouble.

🌿 How can I contact you?
Here.

🌿 Who are your inspirations/favourite artists?
Namie, LM7, neco, Kurot, kuroboshi, matcha, KIncora, liduke, きばどりリュー, 水視ずみ. I have so many artistic inspirations but these are the main ones.

Vtuber/Avatar Related

🌿 How did you make your avatar?
I did the base in VRoid (free program) and then made modifications in Blender.

🌿 What is your avatar’s story?
It’s kind of in progress. There is not story at this point. It’s just me, the artist Somber. I dumped all my lore into my personal projects.

Art/Stream Related

🌿 Can you make tutorials on anything?
No, as I don’t have the time and honestly, most things I do are from tutorials I found online; I am still learning and discovering my style. If you want to see how I draw, illustrate or format my webcomic, please attend one of my streams.

🌿 Why is your art style all over the place?
I originally did anime style in my youth, then for the last 4 or so years I switch to a more semi-realism style. I decided to start drawing anime again as I realized this is the style I actually want to draw in. I am still trying to discover ‘my style’, but to be honest, it’s just always been all over the place.

🌿 Why do you only draw OC stuff?
I love my OCs. I can think of no better consumption of my time than drawing my precious high school OCs.

🌿 What tools do you use?
I use Clip Studio Paint EX. All drawings prior to July 2022 was done in Adobe Photoshop CC. I occasionally use Blender for object perspectives. I use XP-PEN Artist 22E Pro 21.5 display tablet for drawing.

🌿 What are your PC specs?
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 7nm 16-Core GeForce RTX 3080 2TB SSD 32GB RGB RAM. I use a Steelseries keyboard and mouse.

🌿 Is any content behind a paywall?
Not at this time. Considering I work fulltime, it feels weird to charge for content when I don’t need the money. And I’m a small creator, so putting my works behind a paywall means probably no one is going to see it anyway. I also don’t want to commit to release schedules and rather just share everything I do for free. All art and content I make will be publicly available. I may introduce incentives for Twitch subs and Ko-Fi supports such as first in line for commissions. My webcomics and illustrations will always be available for free.

🌿 How can I support you (financially or for free)?
See here! Follow my socials, streams, Youtube, art and webcomic. Smash that like button and enjoy the ride 🕶️

🌿 Do you take commissions?
Commission status is here. I also do channel point commissions for watch time on my stream.

🌿 Do you take X commission?
If it’s not listed in the commission page, I don’t offer it as a paid service.

🌿 Are you open for collaborations or cross promotion?
Generally, no. I will consider it with mutual contacts.

🌿 Do you accept art trades, art exchanges or do guest art?
Please contact me as my schedule changes. Same as collabs, generally no.

🌿 Do you accept requests?
I do channel point commissions for watch time on my stream. Otherwise, no.

🌿 Why is everything locked behind a Discord server? It’s annoying to join so many communities.
It’s the easiest way for me to post content and chat with my community. This keeps trolls, bots and randos from abusing potential ‘free’ stuff. If you are making the effort to join and post in my Discord server, you get (free) perks that others do not. It’s free to join, so I don’t see any issue 🙂

🌿 Can you draw X? Why don’t you draw Y? You should draw Z.
Ya of course, man. Why draw what I want
If you didn’t get the sarcasm, I do not take suggestions of things/subject matter to draw as random comments. It should also be noted I generally draw what I want.

🌿 I don’t like what you draw and/or you don’t draw stuff I agree with.

Then why are you wasting your time on me? Like seriously, just block me and move on.

🌿 Your characters remind me of A. Your story reminds me of B.

(ie. wtf and idc; just tell me I’m an uncreative hack and move on 🤡)

Miscellaneous

🌿 Can I have your handle?
$10 MIL US per handle per site. That is my minimum offer; feel free to offer more. But seriously, 🤡please spare me the guilt trip and you looking like a complete ass🤡. You are all really funny if you think I’d just hand it over out of the kindness out of my heart (especially quitting your brand after a few months of whining to me) 🤡🤡🤡
