## Q: What software do you use?

I use [Krita](https://krita.org) and [Blender](https://blender.org). Using free software is personally important to me, you don't have to pay a license or a subscription to create art. If you check out the detail page for a specific artwork, you can see what I made it with!

But... **tools almost never matter**. One artist isn't simply better than another, because they happen to use _that one specific_ software.

## Q: What tablet do you use?

I currently use a [XP-Pen Artist 22R Pro](https://www.xp-pen.com/product/artist-22r-pro.html) when at home, and a [Galaxy Tab S9+](https://www.samsung.com/us/tablets/galaxy-tab-s9/) portably.

## Q: Do you take commissions, requests, etc?

Please check my [commissions page]({{< ref "art/commission" >}}) for more details about requests involving money. I _sometimes_ take free requests through social media, but it's not a regular thing.

## Q: Art trade plox? 🥺🙏

I take part in [Art Fight](https://artfight.net/~redstrate) every year, let's trade there!

## Q: How long have you been drawing?

I started when I was a kid, but it was all terrible (as expected!) I started doing art regularly [since 2019](/art/2019), and haven't stopped since. You can still see vestiges of my modern style from that period.
