Artist Autobiography
I always had an affinity for art and drawing, since I was a child. Because I had access to the internet at a young age (around 9 years old), I found many communities and art-sharing websites (mostly deviant art) to learn how to draw and seek artist to inspire me. Until age 11, I was mostly in the powerpuff girl and creepypasta fandom (yeah, creepypastas...before I was in middle school). Everything was on MS paint, paper, pencil, etc, and I wouldn't share any of it (I was too young to create an account without my parent's knowledge).
At 11, I was gifted a laptop for christmas and a very cheap graphic tablet (20 euros-ish), and I begun drawing digitally more seriously. I was mostly inspired by artists who shared their speedpaint on youtube, and would casually copy their art. Of course, since FNAF came out in 2014, FNAF artists inspired me quite a lot. Don't ask for their usernames, I forgot them. What I do remember however is the shear amount of speedpaint I would watch and try to copy their techniques, SAI brushes and else. I used non display graphic tablets for a while, from my first floppy one, to a TBA, then a wacom intuos small, then a ugee m708. As I grew older, I got inspired by more artists. From creepy-cute stuff (similar but not Dreamalgia's), to anime (Neko Rina, Hyanna Natsu..) to very cartoony (Zukich).
At 18 years old, I finally got my first drawing display. I still cherish it to this day even though I recently upgraded it, from a kamvas pro 13 to the 16 inch version. While I do agree that screenless tablets are overall better for your back, I still prefer display ones.

Art Boundaries and how to interact with it
Disclaimer
Do not overstep those boundaries willingly. I consider these few rules really laxist and easy to follow, so I'll assume that anyone who goes against them are either genuinely ignorant or not giving a damn about my boundaries. You may use this link to be redirected to my art bases if you want to see or use them.
Tracing
Allowed :
⇒ Tracing as a reference
⇒ Tracing as if it was a base
⇒ I'm fine with tracing if you keep it private
I don't mind tracers, as long as they credit me. You could trace over my art work and just paste your oc on top of it, you do you. We all traced at one point, and I don't want to limit begginer's opportunities to improove. Like I said, just credit the original art, share my socials and/or my website too with EACH posts you do that includes traced drawings. Just saying "I traced it" without credits isn't enough.
Not allowed :
⇒ Tracing for "fixing" it, regardless if it's for moral (aka representation) reasons or for technical errors.
⇒ Tracing and sharing it without credits
⇒ Tracing to turn it into a base and share it (even with credits).
Inspiration, copying, and more
Allowed :
⇒ Using my art as inspiration
⇒ Heavy Inspiration
⇒ Copying my style from A to Z (please credit)
⇒ Getting inspired by my ocs and art work
⇒ Getting inspired by my other creations
⇒ Pretty much everything, just read the "not allowed" section for the only actual rule in this category.
Not allowed :
⇒ NOTHING ! I sincerely, absolutely do NOT care if you get inspired by me. I don't care if you copy my ocs, if you copy my style, or if you copy my art work. But please, if you share any of that copied art work, link the original piece. I don't mind having my stuff copied, but be humble and give credits. I don't need you to credit me over tiny inspiration like line art style, the way I stylise eyelashes or using rainbow noise as a filter, but if you gotta copy everything, copy the credits too.
Repost and Using my art (excluded : tracing, heavy inspiration)
Allowed :
⇒ Using my art as PFPs
⇒ Using my art in a social medias' banner
⇒ Edit it ? Why though ?
⇒ Repost my art publicly (note : please contact me first)
Not allowed :
⇒ Using my art for merch (including fan art)
⇒ Reposting my art without credits or worse : claiming it as your own
⇒ Using my art in any websites that collects date for AI training. My art being online is already at risk, do not shove it in the shareholder's mouths.
