What’s your art background?

I went to an Animation school for around 5 years including some art fundamentals classes. However school didn't really help much in terms of my anime-style art; It was unfortunately looked down upon during those days and I was not able to do my anime art style at all. It did help me with some technical and art knowledge but only after school I was able to focus on my own style and do mostly self-taught.

List a few of your inspirations.

I have a lot of them but some that I really looked up to are artists such as Krenz and ASK. For general Inspiration I mostly got it from friends and just real life experience!

Preferred software/hardware for illustrating?

I mostly worked on Cintique and Clip Studio Paint. 

What are some of your strengths in illustrating and weaknesses?

I mostly focus on Character focused illustration. I like to try putting in details where you can show the story or personality of the character within the illustration.

Favorite artworks you’ve done for Tetraverse.

Favorite artworks you’ve done in general.

Goals as an artist. Where do you want to be in your art career 5 years from now? 

I want to be able to keep creating art and share them to people in many ways, such as merch, illustrations, collaborations, etc, and hoping to have people to be able to see them more!

Advice for new or aspiring artists.

You might feel a lot of struggles or you don't feel seen a lot of times, but do art for yourself and not for others, and make sure to set a goal for yourself so you have a clear path to focus on.
