Mahi's FAQ~
Actually, I really don't get tons of questions about myself, but I do get a few, and I always love reading the little FAQ infobits about other artists XD So yeah, buuu~

How old are you?
17, and I feel extremely artistcally inadequate for my age XD;;

Education?
I'm currently a senior in high school, and I'm going to UF next year :3

What tools do you use?
I use photoshop for pretty much all my CG needs. It's not that I wouldn't like to use painter or OC, but my computer doesn't co-operate. Besides, I'm really comfortable with photoshop and I personally find it very enjoyable to use :3

As far as traditional mediums go, the stuff I usually post here is either done in ink/prisma markers, watercolor or nu pastels. I'm just now starting to explore acrylic, but I kinda suck so no acrylic posts for yoooou~

Will you make a tutorial?
This is probably the question I get the most, and I'm afraid the answer will have to be no. I really worked to figure most of the stuff I do out on my own, and I think it's really hard to have a totally original style if you follow other methods too closely. Most artists on DA tend to copy the procedures instead of applying it to their style. And my art is kind of...like a secret reciepe ;3 I'm really not trying to be a snob; I'm just protecting what -very- little originality I have ._.;; Please try to understand this.

However, if you have a specific question on how I do a specific thing (like lineart or a certain texture) I will totally answer it for you. I just really want to help encourage the /application of techinques/ to individual artwork, NOT direct step by step copying ._.;; It's not fair to the artist, and it's not fair to you. Dare to be different :3

Can I use your artwork for sites/icons/etc?
Sure, just let me know and give credit where credit is due :3 I have been fortunate enough to not have problems with art theft, and I want to keep it that way


If you have any other questions, feel free to note me and I'll include it in here :3
