FAQ

Who are you?
My name is Rai! I'm a Taiwan-born, multi-cultural, self-taught artist taking the creative route in life. I dabble in many forms of art, but my main method is digital media. Art is currently not my main source of income, though I would love for it to be someday!What programs do you use for your art?
I draw in Procreate on the iPad Pro, and animate using Live2D Cubism. Prior to this:
Aug. 2018 ~ Oct. 2018: Clip Studio Paint & Huion GT-220 v2 IPS
Nov. 2012 ~ Jul. 2018: PaintTool SAI & Wacom Intuos5 Touch Medium Pen Tablet PTH650Can I have your brush settings?
I use default brushes and fiddle with the opacity depending on my mood.Are you okay with people using your art for icons, wallpapers, edits, etc?
If it is fanart I created for free, yes, as long as you link back to me. For all other types of work, please ask me first.Do you take requests?
I do not take requests unless I make a post specifically asking for them. Even then, I don't do all of them and generally only pick and choose my favorite ones to complete.Do you do art trades?
Depends. If I am not too busy, I may accept them! Usually, I’ll announce it in a post or something, but you can still just message me; the worst thing I can say is no!Do you do collaborations?
I would love to, however, I prefer collaborating with those who share similar interests and views. Feel free to inquire whenever about collaborations; again, the worst I can say is no!What's the best way to contact you?
Please email me! My email can be found by clicking the "Contact" button at the top. I will initiate further contact with you on social media if it's what you prefer, but I don't frequently check my accounts if I'm not expecting a message.What gender are you?
I am gender apathetic, also known as "apagender." What this means is that I don't really identify as any particular gender, nor do I care how people perceive me. If something makes me happy, I do it and am unfazed by gendered comments towards myself — though I will still fight you for enforcing unnecessary gender roles and disrespecting the identities of LGBTQIA+ folks. If you insist on asking me for my pronouns, I may shrug and default to he/him, but you can refer to me using any pronouns. So don't worry about misgendering me! You can't. :)These are some questions I get asked! If you have any others, feel free to ask.
