About•Me

Favorite color? • Red or green. They are tied for first. I also like pink, purple, and yellow a lot.Right or left handed? • I'm right handed!How long have you been drawing for? • Honestly I haven’t really kept track. As of 2023, I think I’ve been drawing seriously for about 7 years?Do you like drawing traditionally or digitally better? • I generally like drawing digitally better, but I occasionally prefer traditional for sketching.Astrological sign?• I'm a Taurus I think, but I don't really get astrology stuff. Good luck tho ^-^Favorite animal?• Probably cats, sorry for being basic. I also have a soft spot for rats + most rodents :)

About•My•Art

Can I repost your art? • No. I don’t allow my art to be reposted anywhere or by anyone, even with credit. If you see my art posted by someone else, report it or ask the poster to take it down and let me know about it.(Only exception is if the art was made FOR YOU or of your character(s),
in which case reposting with credit is cool! Esp for artfight or toyhouse reasons or whatever have fun.)
Can I use your art in an edit? • Ask me first. Sometimes I say yes, sometimes I say no. Don't use it without my permission. The only case where you can use it without my permission is if you are using art I made as a gift for you specifically, or if it's of a character that belongs to you.Can I use your art as a profile picture/header/etc. ? • Yes, but I'd ask you credit me somewhere on the account, preferably in the description or bio. Basically, somewhere that's easily accessible and visible. If you're using it for something like Discord, where there isn't a good place to write credits, it's ok to leave it off.Where can I find your art? • I post art to my tumblr aiki-art and occasionally to my instagram aiki.art. I post my art to tumblr under the tag #aikidoart, and all of my OC content is tagged as #aikisocs on both tumblr and instagram. If you're looking for a specific art piece I did, feel free to dm me about it and I'll look for you.I can't find ___ art piece that you made. Where did it go? • If it's an older piece, I might've deleted/archived/privated it. I try not to do this anymore, but I occasionally do this for old art of mine that I don't like at all anymore. If you really really want it, dm me and I might send it to you?? But otherwise it's probably gone, sorry. If it's something more recent that I haven't deleted and you really can't find it, dm me about it and I can probably find it for you.Do you take requests? • Kinda??? Depends what it is and where you ask. In general, I sometimes I ask for suggestions on my instagram, but that's pretty rare, and even then that's not a guarantee I'll draw your suggestion. If you send me an ask about MCD stuff on my MCD tumblr I might do it too. Most of the art I make for others is for artfight, or a gift for a friend.Do you take commissions? • Not currently, no. I used to, but those are closed for now. Been considering opening them again, if you're looking for something maybe let me know.???????Do you have a store/sell your art anywhere? • I have a redbubble site now!!
https://www.redbubble.com/people/aikiart/shop
https://www.redbubble.com/people/aikiart/shop
I'm not selling a lot on here atm, so if you're looking for some piece I did that's not on here/something else specific, feel free to let me know??
What art program do you use for your digital art? • I use Firealpaca! Its free and pretty high-quality, and works for both Mac and Windows. Here’s the link to the Firealpaca website!What brush settings do you use? • I literally just use default brushes in Firealpaca sorry for living like this. My lines are usually done using a small default pen brush with pen pressure sensitivity turned way down, and my colors/shading/etc is just the default pencil brush (essentially a hard round brush with pressure opacity). I just like to paint with it. Oopsie.How long does it take you to draw? • For my nice-looking fully shaded images, it can take me somewhere between 2-6 hours. I try not to spend too too long on my art nowadays, and I usually just sit down and do pieces all at once.Can I draw art of your characters? • YES !!!!!!!!!!! Please tag me if u post it and/or dm it to me so I can see it!! I have refs for most of my OCs up on my artfight, and i literally will make u one if u need it.

Stuff•I•Like

My interests & stuff that I like!! There's A LOT of stuff that I like and haven't written on here, I really only add stuff I'm very passionate about cuz otherwise it gets too crowded. I don't update this often to add new stuff. It's not really in order, but stuff closer to the top is generally stuff I care about more.Minecraft Diaries (on Youtube. I also refer to this as MCD.)
In Stars and Time (Video Game. Has recently rewired my brain. You know how it is. I have placed Loop in the blender and am turning them into a fine paste.)

Ghibli Movies (Movies. Princess Mononoke is my fav movie of all time :D. I've seen most Ghibli movies but I am missing a few. ghibli good.)
Pixie Hollow (Movies and Video Game. I know there's books too but I haven't read them. Maybe some day............)

If you see other accounts posting my work or using my name, contact me and let me know! Chances are that's not me and they aren't supposed to be doing that. I'm not on Twitter, Tiktok, or Facebook, and I refuse to ever make an account for these platforms. I only sell my art on my redbubble page, and nowhere else. I don't allow others to sell it anywhere else. I also don't allow reposts.
I tag all my art with #aikidoart on tumblr, and tag all my OCs with #aikisocs on both tumblr and instagram.EXCEPTIONS:•I recently remade my main tumblr. My old blog is @aiki-art-archive, and my new one is @aiki-art.
•I have a sideblog on tumblr called @scring. The scring lives there.
•I have an instagram (@sanguineannecomic) and a tumblr (@sanguineanne) for posting about my webcomic, SanguineAnne.
•I am on Discord, I just don't like to give it out and I only accept friend requests from people I already know. I'm not in many servers, I mostly just use it to talk with friends.
•I'm on Artfol under the username aiki, but inactive there.
•My Minecraft username is aiikii. If you spot me in the wild, feel free to say hi!
•I have an AO3, but I only used it to post a couple MCD fanfics I made ages ago, so it's pretty inactive now. it's @aiikii if you feel like checking it out for some reason.
Assuming you don't have my discord, the best place to contact me is always my tumblr, @aiki-art. DMs there are always open! (They should be open on any of my sideblogs as well.)
