100 Questions for Webmasters

Questionnaire by mouseling

1. Please introduce yourself.

Henlo I'm Stupied! The username is a product of decades old spelling mistake no one bothered to correcting me of.

2. How long have you been making websites?

As of answering this, I've been maintaining this website for 2 and a half years!

3. And what got you into the hobby?

Honestly can't remember. Fairly certain a blog post by LiteralHat convinced me to make one. Googled up "Free Wesbite Hosting" and the rest is history.

4. What kind of website are you most interested in?

I love technically complicated websites with lots of art!!

5. What's your workflow? Do you plan your websites out thoroughly or do you come up with the design as you go along?

I start with a small sketch so I can properly plan the desktop and mobile look. Either have to compromise or find better solutions during the actual coding.

6. Please link to your biggest inspirations.

I have too many bruh but in terms of website making:

• espy.world
• goldhillmall
• reigen.moe
• selachemist

7. What's your favourite part about making websites?

Looking back at it and finding stuff I forgot about.

8. And the thing you struggle with the most?

Actually finishing projects.

9. Do you keep the same layout on all of your pages? Or do you use different ones?

I like to break my website down to separate parts with each of them having their own distinct design that is consistent through out that section.

10. How confident are you with CSS?

Fairly confident. I think. maybe. not sure-

11. Do you know how to correctly use <dl>?

Nope.

12. What is your favourite HTML element?

The handy dandy <div> for when I have no idea what to use.

13. If you're making a new web page from scratch, what is the first thing you do?

Add <main> to a container with a set max width.

14. Do you know JavaScript?

Just enough of it

15. How about PHP?

Only in theory.

16. Does your website have a theme that you stick to?

Usually it does but I get bored of it and frequently change it. Some pages are still stuck in a previous theming.

17. Are you more focused on content or design?

Both! I like designing to emphasize the content.

18. Do you own a domain name? If not, would you ever want to?

Unfortunately not because apparently my country is flagged as untrustworthy by most reputable domain registrars and they require me to hand over my national id.

19. What do you think of nostalgia-focused or "retro" websites?

I love anything frutiger-esque but rarely do people actually nail the style down correctly.

20. Is your HTML valid? Do you even check?

Just did, apparently not.

21. What are your opinion on buttons and banners?

They're cute!

22. What do you think of button walls in particular?

Not as cute. Specifically ones where there is so much you start to wonder if the webmaster even cares about the website they are linking. Personally prefer curated and organized button collections with reasons why they're there.

23. If you started over again, would you make something similar or completely different?

Not sure, still figuring a lot of things out and I'd rather not have a true do-over.

24. Are you envious of other people's websites?

No!!! I love creative people!! I love looking at funky sites!!! I am begging you all to continue making more cool shit!!!!!!

25. What text editor do you use?

VScode

26. Why do you use that one?

Live Server Extension + It's easy

27. Do you host your image files on your web server, or on another host?

I host all my images on my website because it saves from the headache of worrying about external hosts going down - which they always are.

28. This might not be relevant to you, but what's your opinion on the Neocities vs. Nekoweb debate?

I think they both have their own distinct communities and it be dumb to have static hosting pit against each other.

29. How much server space would you estimate your main website takes up?

As of right now, all my websites take up 394.98 MB of storage.

30. Do you keep local backups of your files?

Yep! I also use github for version control and deploying my website.

31. Do you prefer simple or highly visual websites?

Although I like when there's a balance between the two, I definitely favor visually heavy websites more.

32. Do you stick to certain colours? Do you do that on purpose, or is it your subconscious?

I should always have some shade of blue / teal or else I will DIE!

33. Have you ever thought about quitting? Why?

No, because this website is basically an archive of literally everything I do. I'll stop updating this website when I decide to stop doing anything with my life.

34. Do you have many webmaster friends, or is it a solitary hobby?

Most of my irl friends have humanitarian aspirations and aren't really into technically nerdy stuff. So I don't really have anyone to be webmasters with. It's fine, I've always been inclined to seclusion.

35. Do people in your real life know about your website?

Sometimes I mention it in passing for the sake of having a conversation. Since most of them are normies they rarely have anything interesting to say about independent web or the current state of the internet. I highly doubt most gave it anymore than a thought.

36. Do you update your website very often? How often is "very often"?

At least once a week with small tweeks done every other day if possible.

37. And the overall design, do you change that much? Why or why not?

It changes quite frequently because I will never be satisfied

38. Is your website more you-focused, hobby-focused, or outside world-focused?

Mostly hobby-focused with a lot of my art, oc writings, and rambling of whatever media I'm into. On a rare occasions I'll talk about what I'm up to irl.

39. Do you do web design professionally?

Nope.

40. If not, would you like to? And if you're comfortable answering, what do you do for work?

Haha no. Don't want to touch any of the modern frameworks and webdev norms. Also currently not working but pursuing a course in Computer Science!

41. Do you communicate with people by email very much?

Too much of a zoomer to use email and I hate being directly contacted in general.

42. Some people reject social media and use websites as a replacement. Do you keep social media outside of your website?

Despite my dislike of them and their predatory nature, I recognize its importance in making connections. Only keeping accounts deemed "essential" though; Such as Instagram since it's relevant and common enough, Youtube to post videos, Deviantart to find autists who are looking for fanart of that ultra specific thing I happened to draw 3 years ago.

43. How about instant messengers? Do you use a mainstream one like Discord or Telegram? Or something like Matrix? Do you avoid them?

Sometimes pop in and out of Discord from time to time. Also use messenger because Facebook is like THE social media of the Philippines for some reason.

44. Do you listen to music while you work on websites? If so, what kinds of artists?

Either have a whole ass video in the background or in complete silence. Nothing in-between.

45. Do you keep everything you make on one website, or do you have more than one?

I like to keep most of everything in this website but I have separate websites for certain comics and non-stupied related things.

46. On a similar note, do you keep to one topic on your site, or many?

Anything and everything I like goes here. I happen to like quite a lot of things.

47. Do you present your real self, or at least try? Or do you construct a persona on purpose?

My pessimism and low self-esteem is greatly exaggerated for that #relatable points. I like happy things too!

48. Have you ever made a good friend thanks to your website?

I am too much of a socially inept lurker for that.

49. Are you happy with the way HTML and CSS currently work?

Refer to the answer in question number 37

50. What are practices that you think people should avoid?

Stupid ass crt effects you can't toggle off and loading screens you can't opt out of.

51. What about under-utilised practices, or things you think people should do more?

Relative units. Making visual heavy pages aren't that difficult to make responsive if you'd just stop using px for everything.

52. Do you use a lot of semantic HTML? Or are you guilty of generic structure?

Trying my best to use the semantic tags, but my lack of knowledge makes it difficult.

53. Do you consider different browsers?

Everything but Safari.

54. Speaking of, what's your preferred browser? Convince your readers why they should use it.

Firefox. Is alright I guess.

55. And what OS are you on?

Windows

56. Do you have a strong opinion on that, or do you just happen to use it?

Just whatever's convenient. One day I'll be stuck up enough to care.

57. Are your websites mobile-friendly?

Yessir! It nice being able to access my website anywhere everywhere!

58. What are your thoughts on autoplay?

Annoying. Just don't.

59. What are your thoughts on webrings? Are you in any?

Although I understand the criticism against them, personally found a handful of neat websites through them. I just wish they provided a js-less version of their widgets.

60. Do you have any web shrines? What do you like to see in that sort of page?

None of them are completed so far. I like when people get super ind-depth of their love of that media and give really obscure trivia that would otherwise be unknown.

61. Are your websites "cliche", in your opinion?

I dunno, I don't care, I don't want to know.

62. What is your ideal website? Are you striving for that, or for something else?

My ideal website would be an effortless change the layout of and add content to.

63. Are you an artist? Do you draw or design your own assets?

Yep!!! I design most of my assets but I am not above using pre-made svgs or css pattern generators.

64. What are your favourite resource sites?

Go to this list

65. Is there a habit you just can't get away from no matter how hard you try?

66. What's your biggest advice for a new webmaster?

It's a bit overwhelming to start of with but I strongly suggest using github to deploy to neocities. Pinky promise it will save you a lot of pain and suffering once you've set it up correctly.

Also consider checking it the FAQ.

67. Do you keep all your styling in CSS? Or do you hard-code some?

Usually have a fixed CSS styling for everything but sometimes use inline css for temporary items.

68. What do you think of frameset layouts?

<iframe> have their purpose but personally dislike when it's used for an entire layout. It makes the site feel so clunky and cheap.

69. How about table-based layouts?

No strong opinion on them.

70. Do you subscribe to the ideas of "one-column", "two-column" and "three-column" layouts? Do you use any of these?

Three-columns are too overwhelming and I never know what to put in them. I prefer sticking to two columns, with one bigger than the other to establish some visual hierarchy.

71. Do you spend longer on the HTML or the CSS?

HTML is hastily put together and a lot of time is spent on css to adjust it. The goal is to write as little HTML tags possible.

72. Have you ever made a page with no CSS? It's useful for your thoughts.

Only for pages that won't matter that much.

73. Do you ever find yourself making layouts with nothing to put on them? Or do you only make layouts when the need arises?

I make pages with the intention to put stuff in it. The problem is sometimes I get so caught up planning a seamless way of easily adding the content, I forget about actually adding the content.

74. Would you consider yourself a beginner? Or advanced? Somewhere in the middle?

Beginner who has deluded themselves to thinking they know anything.

75. Do you have a habit of looking at the source code of websites you visit?

Only whenever I encounter annoying visual quirks that I want to remove.

76. How did YOU learn how to make websites?

Through the scientific method of fucking around and finding out.

77. Do you ever force elements to do things they're not supposed to?

Not always in purpose.

78. Thoughts on floating elements?

I love them!!! - just as long it isn't blocking the main content

79. When you're sizing stuff, what do you use first? Do you use px, em, %, or something else?

Usually I'll have a parent with a set width and aspect ratio. Then use percentage for sizing and aligning them.

80. Do you have a favourite font?

Grandstander and Barriecito

81. Would you run a website with another person? How would that work?

That'd be awesome. In love with the idea of creating an arg with someone or some sort of collaborative visual novel. They'll create the story and lore than I'll do all the visual and technical stuff.

82. Do you surf the Web to find new personal websites very often?

Not really. Usually just revisit the website I already follow.

83. Do you bookmark other people's websites? How would you feel knowing someone else bookmarked yours?

Tend to forget about my bookmarks. Usually rely on neocities / nekoweb's following feature to keep track of websites. Honestly the thought of people liking my website to bookmark and check on it is incredibly jarring to me.

84. What do you want people to be most impressed with when they see your website?

My art gallery. Not the art itself but the system created for it. From the lightboxes to the justified gallery.

85. Are you interested in technology outside of websites? Do you collect?

I love learning about old video game consoles, their limitations, and how game devs scooted ways around it. Too poor to collect them though so choosing to live vicariously through emulation.

86. How often and for how long are you online?

Everyday at random intervals in various different sites.

87. When it comes to your website, who is your target audience?

Me! Everything on my website is for my own amusement and no one elses! Would prefer to have an older audience though. I've noticed a trend of tiktok roblox kids following me. If you fit in that category, do me a favor and don't interact with me. Thank You.

88. Have you ever been interested in XHTML?

Far too impulsive and careless to.

89. Do you program in general? Have you ever written a program for use with or on your website, not counting simple JavaScript?

Dabbled in some Turbo C, Ruby, and Python here and there. Haven't made anything substantial with it though.

90. Speaking of programs that help you make websites, what do you think of static site generators (SSGs)? Have you ever used one?

WOHOOO!!!!! I love them!! I think everyone should use one!!!!

Truth be told the only reason why I choose Jekyll over other (objectively better) SSGs was because I already had ruby installed from messing around with the Neocities CLI. I felt to lazy to set up something like Node.js.

91. Do you keep a hitcounter? Why or why not?

They're usually not very accurate and I'd rather not know. Getting attention is and will never be goal. Seeing numbers triggers the minmaxer in me.

92. Do you frequent forums? Which ones?

Yes :)

93. Do you write your page content directly into the editor, or do you prepare it elsewhere, like a text document or a Word document?

Type it directly unto VSCode. When not lazy, I'd paste the content into word to fix grammar and spelling then plunk it right back into VSCode.

94. Do you think you appear cool to others? A more accurate answer now: do other people ever say you're cool?

I have recieved A handful of compliments but I'm far to cynical to ever fully trust it.

95. Are you embarrassed of your old work? Have you ever deleted everything out of shame?

Only really care when they written works, since they can be dissected and examine word for word. Visual works are more abstract and require a bit of context to fully understand. So I have no problem with showing decade old work but will hurt internally with anything that has text in it.

96. Would you close down your website if you couldn't update it, or would you leave an archive?

In the horrible scenario that my work reaches mainstream consciousness, I probably will hide it away and only return once my work has slipped out of relevancy.

97. Do you reveal a lot about yourself on your website? Or are you more secretive?

Sometimes think about blogging in detail about my life or venting but then realize its cringe and dumb so I end up vaugeposting posting instead.

98. Are you willing to reveal who your best online friend is, and/or if they have a website?

Most of them are the 'DFE' type of people that prefer keeping their work offline. You'll know who they are if you've snooped through my website enough.

99. And do you optimise the images on your website?

Currently hosting ~520 images in just my art gallery alone so, I kinda have to.

100. We're out of time! How do you feel after answering 100 questions? ....other than exhausted.

Jokes on you because I have a weird habit of answer from bottom to top!

100 Questions for Artist

1. Introduce yourself! What kind of art do you make?

Henlo I'm Stupied! I make quite a lot of art but I'm generally know for my cartoons with an artstyle that is vaguely reminiscent of 2018 animation memes. You can find the rest of my art here!

2. How long have you been making art?

Since forever. I honestly cannot recall a time I was never not been drawing. Art has always played an important role in my life and I genuinely don't know what I'd be doing without it.

3. How many hours do you spend for each piece?

As a chronic doodler, I am always sketching about something within 5-10 minuets. But polished illustrations take me about a 3-5 hours to finish. Depending on how annoyed I am with the drawing.

4. Do you prefer taking your time or do you like to quickly move on to the next thing?

I try not to dwell on a piece for too long so that things can get done and over with. Disliking a piece usually means there is something fundamentally wrong with it and it's better for my sanity to finish it and move on to the next thing.

5. When do you decide a piece is finished?

When I get tired of looking at it.

6. What part of the creation process do you enjoy the most?

Sketching! It's a fundamental aspect that is often overlooked. I've always been envious of people who can sketch with so much confidence. Wether it be freehand perspective or gestural studies. One day I'll be the sketcher of all time..!

7. What part of the creation process do you dislike the most?

This may come to a surprise to some, but coloring. It's an aspect that really makes or breaks and illustration and I dread it every time.

8. Do you have a designated workstation or do you just work wherever?

My laptop and drawing tablet is always docked on my desk but I usually end up coding when I'm home. Most of my art is made when I'm outside, looking for some time to kill.

9. Do you monetize you work or is it purely a hobby?

Getting money from what you love is sounds awesome! But the pressure to improve and market yourself is just to heavy of price to pay. I am contented with it staying as a hobby.

10. Where do you share your work? On social media or a personal websites? Do you keep to yourself and close friends?

This website is the first place my work gets uploaded on. On days I don't feel lazy, I would upload it to my Instagram, Reddit, and selected Discord Servers.

11. What's an aspect of your art you enjoy?

Being able look back at them and use them as a medium to ramble about my OCs.

12. What are things you would like to improve on?

Want my art be less stiff and more flowy, you know? Yeah, you know.

13. Are you self-taught or had formal education?

Do MAPEH classes count?

14. Do you research about old techniques or stick to newer ones?

Love learning about older techniques but never actually apply them. Dislike how most modern art tutorials are "do this one visual trick to get good quickly" than actually learning the fundaments.

15. What do you value more, experimentation or mastery?

Experimentation is only really interesting when there was prior mastery. Which is why I strongly believe people should learn to draw from life before caring about stylization.

16. Do you practice drawing from the wrist? What other art techniques to you practice?

Only recently has it been something I actively try to do. Used to sketch on tiny A6 notebooks (like half of a half short bondpaper) and bad habits die hard.

17. How frequently do you do studies?

Only when I'm outside and bored.

18. Do you understand color theory? How'd you learn or do you want to?

No. Recently been enthralled by Mary Blair's work though. Would love to achieve the boldest of work one day.

19. Favorite color(s)?

Red, yellow, and light blue. The absolute classics :]

20. Are there colors you avoid? Do you think ugly colors exists?

Generally avoid obnoxious shades of purple. Can only tolerate darker shades of it.

21. Can you do perspective?

Gaslit myself into believing that I can.

22. Do you like doing lineart? How do you go about it?

At the moment, I only enjoy doing lineart traditionally. Yet to find a digital brush that has the same charm of working with a cheap ass ball point pens.

23. Do you have multiple unfinished projects? Will you ever get to finishing them?

Haha.. ha... ha..

24. How do you start a new piece? Do you have a plan or just figure it along the way?

Usually do a few thumbnails to nail down some decent framing. Annoyingly, I sometimes end up liking the thumbnail more than the actual sketch.

25. How do you handle art block?

I suffer the opposite actually. Having too many ideas and not being able to execute them in one sitting.

26. Do you listen to music or watch something while working?

Only when I color. While sketching, I need my full focus and having something play in the background is far too distracting.

27. When are you most motivated to create? In the morning or evening? Rainy or sunny?

Apparently when I have lots of school work.

28. Are your sketchbooks messy or aesthetically pleasing?

Sketchbooks have always been really important to me. Not for their bragging potential but because how it gives me an excuse to let my mind drift. Allowing me to take everything around me and enjoy them as is. Looking back on an old pieces, I can remember what circumstances I was and who I was with. So being 'aesthetically' pleasing really isn't as big as a priority as putting down what I see.

29. Do you like showing sketchbooks to others?

There this old comic I made back then, that I cannot find anymore. It was basically one of my OCs ree-ing at someone asking to see her sketchbook. That feeling has never quite left me.

30. Do you have any art friends? IRL or online?

Despite my social ineptitude, yes. I am forever grateful for them.

31. Do you collaborate frequently with your friends? Is there something you'd like to work on together?

On the rare occasions we meet up, we'll doodle something in each other sketchbooks. You've probably encountered some of them.

32. Have you created art to gift to others? How do feel about parting away from your work?

The only things that come to mind are sketchbooks I bounded for my friends and that one crochet cat I made for my younger sister.

33. Have you drawn for someone else? Like commissions or requests? Did you enjoy it?

I've done a handful of commissions in the past. In retrospect they weren't that good but thank you to the people who did anyways.

34. How's your posture?

*bends back by 1 degree*
*the loudest crack*

It's alright. Could be worst.

35. Have you ever been injured making art?

Once made a really deep cut on my finger. It is probably the worst place to get a cut because you need your hand for literally everything. My dad offer me his paper cutter once but I felt really uncomfortable about owning what is essentially a mini guillotine.

36. What's a medium of art you've wanted to try / currently attempting?

I absolutely adore animation but just don't have the patience for it. I want things to look good now!

37. Do you prefer stylized or realistic art?

I have a strong preference for stylized art. Especially ones that flow nicely in arcs. Probably why I'm so fascinated with animated dance numbers.

38. Do you like hyper-realistic art?

No. Although there is skill required to achieve it, it's just something I can't bring myself to care enough for.

39. Do you like abstract art?

They're good background noise.

40. How do you feel about fine art?

The backstories artist will make up for the sake of selling their work is really funny to me. Like no fucking way you were thinking all that when you made this.

41. How do you feel about outsider art? Do you think you fall in that category?

They're art made purely for the sake of making art and I find them incredibly endearing. My art definitely does not fall under it - I've seen too much.

42. Do you follow art trends?

No.

43. Do you think you art is influenced by what's currently popular?

Not consciously.

44. Do you compare yourself with others? Does it affect you negatively?

Seeing others art always motivates me to make more of my own!!

45. Your controversial art take?

Anime is weird looking and it isn't normies fault for thinking they're for kids.

46. Art related pet peeves?

Adding too much artificial static and noise. There is something wrong going on if you art needs a hundred filters to look interesting.

47. Who or what are your inspirations?

Lavendertowne and Scott Pilgrim definitely effect me artstyle wise. Also no I will not shut up about LiteralHat because I really admire the versatility of their work.

48. What's an art piece / artist you wished got more attention?

I know it was a difficult time for them but late 1940s-1950s Disney animation is so pretty.

49. Have you touch grass recently? Do you go out frequently or do you spend most of your time indoors?

Due to the amount of natural disasters and bad timing, been spending a lot of time indoors lately.

50. Do you create art daily?

I try my absolute darndest to.

51. Do you take breaks from creating? How frequently?

Too many.

52. Do you set deadline for your work?

No, because they're never achieved and just make me sad.

53. Do you archive your work? Do you keep old pieces?

Yes!! I have a keep all my old notebooks and my current art gallery archives works from all the back as 2018!

54. Are you embarrassed of your old work? Or are you indifferent by it?

Not as much as before. Grown to love their wonkiness. It's also fun to ruminate about the times I made them.

55. Do you seek out for criticism? How do you handle feedback?

Used to, but realize majority of the people that critic art in the internet aren't that knowledgable.

56. Are you harsh on your own work? Or do you love your work despite all it's flaws?

Stopped putting down my own work because it literally benefits no one.

57. Do you get compliments frequently? How do feel about them?

Responding to compliments makes me really anxious for [ Insert lengthy psychological reasons ] but know that I appreciate them!

58. How do feel about the rise of generative AI? Do you use it for getting ideas or references?

Despise how intrusive it is. It's why I've minimize my social media usage.

59. How do feel about tracing? What about tracing 3d models to streamline art process?

Personally, I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's just the end results are always really stif really unimpressive. Having geometrical accurate art does not equate to appealing art.

60. Drop you art resources!

Literally have none I can think of right now </3

61. Do you prefer making fanart or original content?

Prefer making OC art but I'm not above making fanart here and there!

62. Do you think original content are more creative than fanart?

No. Fanart still requires some kind of deconstruction and creativity to get right.

63. Do you strive for originality?

It's a waste of time to. There isn't a single art concept that hasn't been conceived and executed by someone else.

64. Do you draw from imagination or heavily rely on references?

Since I mostly draw cartoons, I can get away with really questionable abstraction. But I try to look up references when I have the time.

65. Do you think using references is a crutch?

It's really a matter of balance.

66. Do you like to make mood boards or scroll through Pinterest?

Sometimes I make a collection of ultra-specific things but I think it's just me procrastinating.

67. Does your work have a story behind them or do you just make things that you think look neat?

They always do, but I can't be bothered with elaborating them.

68. Do you think art should have a purpose?

I think it just does. It just in it's nature. Sometimes that purpose is just to bring joy to whoever makes it. Or pain. Maybe both simultaneously.

69. Favorite aesthetic?

Whatever the hell you call this thing

70. Do you have a muse or a theme you fall back to?

When all else fails, I just doodle Psyche.

71. If you could eat you art, what would it taste like?

Sweet and sour pork.

72. If your work suddenly became sentient, would it adore or hate you?

All of them are angry and spiteful. So yeah, they'd most likely hate my guts.

73. Based on previous question, can you win in a fist fight against it?

No.

74. Is your art style consistent? Do you prefer making a wide variety of art?

Just use whatever artstyle my whims takes me but my resistance to change often brings me back to the same shit I've been drawing a decade ago.

75. Do you revisit old concepts or sketches? Do you touch em up or leave them as is?

Sometimes I consider redoing certain pieces, but my laziness get the best of me.

76. Do you believe in talent or is it all skill?

I strongly believe there are just people who are innately better in certain aspects. But I also believe there isn't anything a talented person can do a that a properly skilled artist can't do.

77. What's your favorite thing to draw / make? Do you prefer making living things or still life?

People's backs and people on their phones. There's a lower probability of eye contact.

78. Do you create your art with a specific audience in mind? Who?

Me..!! Genuinely cannot imagine much of my work appealing to anyone else and I'd rather not waste timing trying to.

79. How do you feel about people taking inspiration from work? Do you think art style theft is real?

Art style theft is so dumb that I can't help but find it really funny.

80. Do you participate in art conventions? Do you sell your work or support everyone else?

No, because most of the art conventions here are anime related. The only anime related things I care about is pokemon and puyo. They never have the latter nor do they make art of my favorite mons :(

81. Are you art materials expensive? Do you hoard any tools?

The most expensive thing I own is my laptop and drawing tablet! All my traditional art materials are usually the cheapest thing you could find and I make my own sketchbooks.

82. Do you organize you supplies and tools systematically?

The paint and pin maker is behind my rooms door, the pin shells and miscellaneous objects is inside the broken cabinet, and all my papers and yarn underneath the bed. So, no.

83. Do you clean up after a project? Or do you just leave everything lying around till you need the space?

My desk is too small for anything so I have to clean up almost immediately. Also having a messy room fucks over my already awful attention span.

84. Do you have a ritual before you start creating? Do you have a drink or some snacks?

Sigh.

85. How do feel about censorship in art? Where do you draw the line for inappropriate art?

I don't think there's truly inappropriate art. Just really inappropriate places to put it. The problem is the internet has made it really difficult to define those boundaries.

86. Do you censor your own art? Do you feel like you leave out details for it be socially accepted?

Listen buddy, you're in MY website looking at MY art! If you find something offensive and in poor taste, do yourself a favor and look at something else! It really isn't that difficult. I do not feel obligated to bend my artistic visions to please some strangers who probably didn't know about my existence until a few minuets ago.

87. Do you feel intimated with starting a new projects?

Yeah. Usually do it bit by bit instead.

88. Are you scared of your art regressing? Do you think it's even possible to get worst at art?

Although a pessimistic view, I believe art regression is real. It is literally why I didn't pursue it professionally. At least if my art gets worst, I don't have to financially pay the price for it.

89. Do you frequently make compromises for your work? Does your art come out the way you envision them?

Literally nothing comes out what I want it to. Learned to accept my incompetence and just draw for fun.

90. How well do you manage your mistakes? Do you stress about them?

Just quietly tuck it away and move to the next project. Life is too short to worry about things people won't bother to look at for any more than a minuet.

91. Do you make lists of things you'd like to make? Do you actual commit to them?

Sometimes my siblings come up with a silly concept or something weird happens in my life. I have multiple lists taking note of these, but rarely do they become anything.

92. What is your ultimate goal of your work? Like, is to tell a story, connect with others, or just to enjoy the process?

To bring the lil guys in my head into something tangible.

93. What's something you've recently worked on that you're really proud of?

Probably this painting. I really ought to do traditional painting more often.

94. Do you have any dream projects? Have you started on them?

Literally everything featured in the OCs Website. Comics are technically the "cheaper" medium to create but the perfectionist in me makes it really difficult to just get started.

95. Would you prefer unlimited money or unlimited time to make your projects?

Unlimited money. This way I don't have to worry finding work and fully focus on my projects.

96. Why do you create art?

Because what else is there going on with my life, lol?

97. Are you happy with what you create?

Suppose as about happy as I can be.

98. Do you think everyone should make art?

Yes. I think just about anyone and everyone should make something at least once in their life. Make more than you consume!!!!

99. What's advice you'd give to newer artist?

Art doesn't have to be technically impressive to be worthwhile making. Have fun with it!

100. When did you finish this? How'd you feel?

November 28, 2025 » Probably should of done something more productive haha. Writing a 100 questions then answering them was a lot more difficult than anticipated. Hoping there isn't too many grammatical mistakes..!
