ABOUT

Haii I'm a Hokkien queer artist and therian from Singapore. I have many interests. Recently graduated from graphic design and motion graphics studies. AuDHD and OSDD, sys host.I like tarot, osu!, and drawing. Very into liminal spaces, rainbowcore, kidcore, and many things cringe. I'm a furry and surrealist artist. Sometimes I draw my other OCs as well. I'm a Wattson and D.Va main. (o･ω･o)I am incredibly socially anxious and hardly talk unless I'm messaged first, so be prepared to reach out first if you want to befriend me.You can pronounce my screen name (V4NNY) as "Vanny", or "V4-ENNY"! It's all up to you!

DNI IF...

LGBTphobic, "MAP", proship/comship/anti/anti-anti/nonsense like that, indulge in loli/shota/cub, TERF, romanticise real criminals/crime, neo-nazi/white supremacist, anti-asian and other common DNI criteria.If you involve yourself with drama regularly, please avoid me. I embrace "cringe" and "girliness", and am a big supporter of compassion and open-mindedness. If you're a fan of deriding others and declaring things as "cringe" constantly, you're better off not interacting. Additionally, never interact with me if you hate furries. That's all I ask, thank you.In simpler terms, just don't be an ass and we'll get along just fine! Most likely.

NOTES

>> ABOUT MY ART
You're welcome to use my art for non-profit personal things as long as you respect me as an artist (no tracing, selling, claiming as yours, any scummy shit, etc.). Use my art as profile pictures, banners, in edits, and the like, I'd love to see it! Credit is greatly appreciated! Full T.O.S can be seen here.
>> ABOUT MY IDENTITY
My identity tends to shift a lot especially during times of otherkin/therian shifts. I typically like being viewed as Syn, Vanny, HABIT/Evan, a bunny, puppy, angel, or even a combination of any of those at any given moment. Referring to me by terms associated with those isn't necessary, but is appreciated if we're close!! You can see more of my gender identity on my pronouns.cc page.
>> ABOUT DMS
I'm normally quite open to having conversations with people and enjoy chatting despite my social anxiety. However unless we're irls or established close friends that bond over regular chatter, please don't contact me if it's just pointless back and forth with no real goal. If we're not close, ideally keep things short and concise and stop beating around the bush, ESPECIALLY if the convo is going to be dry. Convos can be about anything, I don't quite mind as long as there's substance, but please don't begin with "hi" or other one-word starters.I'm thankful for DMs and attempts to communicate, but I'm really picky with who I choose to speak to. If I keep ignoring you more than thrice, please don't keep pushing and just stop there. I love meaningful conversations and clear goals, and I'd love to befriend you if you pique my interest but that's always on a case-by-case basis.
>> ABOUT OVERFAMILIARITY
Refrain from overfamiliarity. This is especially true if you're a stranger or acquaintance. Don't flirt with me. I'm taken.
>> ABOUT VENTING
Please, please, please, refrain from ranting and venting to me in DMs without my permission. Please. Unless you have my express permission, are a close friend (not just an acquaintance or friend), or I reach out to YOU and offer my support, please do not. I cannot stress this enough. I am overworked because of school, overwhelmed, and exhausted. I do not have the time for other peoples problems when I can barely handle my own. Please don't add to my burden by randomly dumping your problems onto me. Be considerate.

Kinning: I kin because of past trauma and simply for fun / it feels right. I avoid the public kin scene and I'm not interested in discourse. I also don't believe to be reincarnations of the characters I kin, or that I'm actually them.I don't care about doubles, just don't be a dick to me and we'll be good!Therianthropy: I'm a psychological therian, mainly a rabbit and dog therian. I'm aware that physically I'm a human, so please continue to treat me as you would anybody else; with respect!

// what tools do u use 2 [do thing]?
i use Procreate on an iPad Air since July 2022. Photopea for simple photo editing, Clip Studio Paint for VHS effects. sometimes Canva for simple things.my most-used brushes are usually on rotation. as of 2024, some of my most-used include: jelly-style brushes, wendy xu's kakuno mimic and flair pen, Procreate's own stock brushes, and recently the Pen Fade (mimics the Ibis Paint X brush).for traditional art, i'm often using either uni-ball ONE 0.5mm or the Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen, and Conté à Paris pencils (Pierre Noire and Graphic) from 4B to 2B. generally i also use whatever tools and surfaces i can get my paws on. my camera is my iPhone 14 Pro Max with editing done in the native Gallery app.i actively avoid making a brand name out of any specific brushes/tools or set of, and instead seek out what feels good to draw and create with at any given moment. it's not JUST my tools that make me good, it's got everything to do with me, too.
// can i use ur art as my pfp/banners?
if you're not a corporation or brand (even an individual) intending to profit off of my art, yes. i allow and even encourage the use of my art for most personal-use things, unless stated otherwise. common sense is required though; no hate speech, bigotry, reselling and redistributing, and so on.if you want to give anybody money for my art, you should probably do so on my Ko-fi for as little as $3. maybe check out my shop while you're at it, get yourself some cute stickers n' shit.credit when using as pfps/banners is preferred, but not mandatory. it's simply an outward expression of respect. i have every right to revoke this if I change my mind in the future.
// what music do u listen 2?
my main playlist, my hype playlist, and my sleep playlist to name a few. genres mean nothing much to me beyond use as a means of categorisation.
// what's up w ur genders?? y it/its or they/them???
i'm incredibly mentally ill. i perceive things in a different way than most. it's also probably the autism. i'm abnormal, freaky, and weird. this doesn't apply to all LGBTQ+ individuals, rather it's how i myself choose to identify with myself after years of trauma and ostracization in my early years.it/its is not insulting to me and is, in fact, sometimes preferred, i do not see myself as human. it's all very abstract and difficult to explain or even visualize. but i am also genderfluid because i hardly have any permanent preference, so they/she/it/he and even neopronouns are fine.
// r u self-taught?
when i was a child i went to art tuition classes but i only remember practicing oil pastels. i took 'O' Level Art in secondary school, but the focus was mainly observational art with traditional tools and realism. i did not enjoy that very much, but it's imparted onto me some skills i regularly use. i also pursued Motion Graphics in college for 3 years, then Communication Design in polytechnic.I didn't go to "art school" in the sense of LASALLE, SOTA, NAFA, or 3dsense. I've learned art-adjacent things but rarely ever anything to do with art itself and not as a product of a results-driven, business-like education system (where what you learn must be practical and useful) - re: Singapore Incorporated. my graphic design training has helped me immensely with my art journey, though, and the interdisciplinary nature of what i've studied over the years helps too.art school isn't necessary to be good at art or to make cool things. most important are the soft and hard skills that can be taught to you even in other fields/industries - discipline, responsibility, diligence, self-respect, interpersonal skills, communication, etc. art isn't just about drawing, in my opinion it's a way of expressing how you see the world. if you want to get better at art, broaden your horizons and don't limit your inspirations or intake to only visual art. be openminded and curious and trust that you will thrive.
// can u teach me [thing]?
i like to share, and i like to talk about my process. if you want my input, feel free to ask. if this page wasn't indicative enough, i'm a very passionate and longwinded individual when i care deeply about something. and i care deeply about all things visual design. personalise your question and make it about you and me, otherwise you might as well be asking Google.if you want to know how an effect was done on any of my pieces, ask me. the process is rarely the same throughout, but usually has some consistencies. generally speaking, if your question is in good faith, you've exhausted your resources, phrased respectfully (a little politeness goes a long way), and/or want MY personal input, then i'll be happy to point you in the right direction."How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" may also be of interest to you."Talent is what people who show up for one day use to describe someone who show up every day."
— NeatOnTheRocks“Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but, most of all, endurance.”
— James Baldwin“Skills can be taught. Character you either have or don’t have. Bigfoot understood that there are two types of people in the world: those who do what they say they’re going to do – and everyone else.”
— Anthony Bourdain
// can i reference off of/be inspired by ur art?
i don't see why not. i don't control what comes out of your noggin. don't trace and we're fine.i only allow tracing for personal use and not for public consumption, and if anybody asks, make it clear who you copied from.
// r u on [social media platform]?
i only list my most-used social media on this site's front-page. image-based ones serve as public "archives" for my art and personal yappings depending. but i have a Tumblr for browsing and personal use and an in-character/askblog for Syn. i'm also on Tiktok, my NSFW Bluesky(18+), FurAffinity(18+, NSFW), Last.fm, osu!, Letterboxd, Anilist, and MyDramaList. my twitter/"X" is largely defunct.
// can i pay u 2 make a carrd for me?
sure, why not. hit me up if you're serious, you already know where to find me.
// can u draw [thing for me] for free?
no. i don't draw on command, that's not how my brain works. if you want art from me, consider commissioning me.i prioritise paid work over requests first. requests are fine on posts that ask for it, or if i'm asking you to give requests specifically.
// who r ur system members?
i keep information about my system relatively private. exploration of selfhood and plurality is a very vulnerable and personal area for me due to its traumatic origins. i make information only available to a very select few.as for information i'm comfortable revealing publicly... HABIT is my co-host. he is not his source, though similar in some ways. my alters are not party tricks, so please do not expect or demand that any of them front, and especially not for me/us to "prove ourselves" whether to you or anybody else. as always, PLUR is in effect in my spaces; PEACE, LOVE, UNITY, RESPECT! I'm more than a face behind a screen, and you are too, so treat people how YOU would like to be treated.
// y do u use /gen? /srs? /lh? /j?
tone tags/indicators. i don't use all listed on the site, nor do i spell them the exact same way, but when people know what tone indicators are it generally makes for easier conversing. my tone would often be misconstrued for rudeness or harshness in the past, so i would prefer to put some effort into reducing misunderstanding.
// AI?
i fucking hate Generative AI and do not consent to my art and content being fed to such systems.i understand the history of using "Traditional AI" in various sectors of life, which i am more than fine with. Generative AI, which is AI trained on datasets, is the type of AI drivel i fucking hate. piss off with that slop.
