If you haven't noticed... I don't draw that much fanart anymore..
and I probably won't in the future either.
Fanart was a way for me to practicing drawing.

-About My Characters-


-Which one of your original characters is your favorite?
~ ....As if I could POSSIBLY choose...


-If you got trapped inside a elevator with ONE of your characters... who would it be?
~ xD; For one split second I was (for GOD knows what reason) gonna say Neon... buuut.... bad things might happen...
So I'd probably pick Vee or Damien...


-Explain why
~ Wtf...um, well probably by the simple reason that I would give fucking
ANYTHING to be able to have a conversation with any of my characters ;;w;; -Neon included.
(That's also why I have a hard time picking just one too xD)


-How did you come up with Vee?
~ Hmm... He came like a punch in the face actually.
Suddenly and kind of painfully...LOL... I drew nothing but him for months. I have no idea where he came from.


-How did you come up with Damien?
~ Damien is actually a character I had lots of dreams about when I was
around 6 and kept coming veryvery intensively until I was 18 maybe.
(And he still appears on a regular basis)
I have a few old and crappy pictures I drew of him when I was 10.
I might put them up in scraps sometime xD
In my dream he dressed and acted the same way I portray him.
There's a long story behind him actually, and it's too complicated and a
bit to unbelievable for me to tell you here.
But I can tell you that he told me his two names in my dreams.
One is Damien, and the other, I keep to myself.


-And what about Neon?
~ Neon came like Vee. Out of nowhere.
I remember first thinking about him when I was around 10 years old maybe. <3


-Is the 'Elli' -character you or an OC?
~ Um...both. She's like my alter ego.


-So what the hell IS Vee anyway?
~ Psh..Ask HIM.... (LOL I don't know D: )


-Do you have short stories involving Damien and/or Neon?
~ Yes


-Will you post them here?
~ Maybe


-How often do you think about your characters, and how often do you doodle them?
~ Every single day baby.
