Real name?

My screen name is Rachael Hazzalasname, though. c:

Age?

March 4 1997 is my birth date. Pisces. c:

Where are you from?/Where do you live?

I'm not telling, not because I'm being paranoid.
I don't usually reveal my locations. It's best for you to judge me for my personality, not where I originated. o v o

Are you single?

Yes and I'm not available 'cause I'm not looking forward to a relationship.
Ō v Ō

Can I see what you look like/a photo of you?

c: Not really, but you can see my persona and photo cameos here : sketchyrae.deviantart.com/gall… and other parts of my accounts.
Now SHOO! @ 3 @

Do you have a relative on dA?

Yusss! I'm JadeLikeJay's older sister!
We're like soul mates for life---No--
---SIAMESE TWINS.

Can you at least note me about your [Specific personal info here]?

Not even that can make me tell you. Why not? Well, first of all, you're a stranger. What are you gonna do with my info? You have to critically be a trusted friend I'd like to talk to or at least a friend I agreed to get involved with and that's really really rare.
o A o

Can we be friends?

Do you ask that question in real life or do you just hang out and chat until you are friends? o~o
That's when I realized I suck at keeping friends online. I didn't really have time for them and ended up forgetting how I got to them and why. *^*
Plus, they say I'm a gregarious person, but I say I'm socially awkward.

Are you satisfied with the quality of your art?

Absolutely! But I crave for improvement. @ w @

How long do you typically spend on one drawing?

A total of 2-6 hours or 8-16 hours depending on its quality or my motivation levels. XDD
If it's a "quick" sketchy one it's around 30-60 minutes. ovo
But commissions takes a little longer~

If people are to criticize your art, how do you respond?

I'd take it but I won't ask for more. o v o
I already have a critically negative side that points out the problems like a never-satisfied judge.
In other words, I only wanted to find what's right or wrong about my drawings by myself most of the time. owo
If I want some critics, I'd ask JadeLikeJay for some help. >3<
I'm the critic to my previous drawings too. ❤u❤
If I liked that style of hair, lining, shading or filling then I'd take it.
If I don't like what I saw from it, I'll try to improve it even more the next time I drew that part. >w<

What tools do you use to draw?

Traditional : Most likely 0.5 Mechanical pen and a Mono eraser to finish off with 0.7 mechanical pen.
Digital : [ LONG TIME NO ART//SLAPP ] Portable Photoshop CS6/Wacom Intuos(CTH-680/S), Occasionally drawn on a textured paper(I scanned) with the Pencil brush set by N-A-R-I. <3 (~ >7<)~
Mixed Media : Most likely drawn in Traditional line art and then coloured in Photoshop. OwO

What's your favorite thing to draw?

Faces and hairrrrrrr! I like to render them, too! O7O
They're like the only realistic things I can draw. I'm on my way to favour clothes too~!

Do you go to an art school?

Never. Too expensive, and I thought it was really unnecessary, but it helped a lot of talented young students here. >u<;;; I learned a lot from inspirations in dA and real life people with interesting face/body shapes. 030
The internet and the world is my art class~ (~ OvO)~

How did you learn to draw?

Aaaaaaaall from the internet, deviantART, Youtube, and mainly looking at real life~
You should try it. It helped me for over 5 years. (~ OvO)~

Do you like writing stories?

I do! I'm trying to write large biographies of my characters, at the moment. Q U Q
I would even make up stories from instrumental songs. But I wish I have all the time and internet data to research~

What brain food do you eat before you start sketching?

Normally it's fruit juice or other juice like grapes and Aloe vera. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. Juice. =w= I mean, blueberries and fish oil is good for the brain, and hydration, too. OwO
UPDATE : Energen cereal drink~ ; 7 ;

How do you set up your traditional timelapse videos?

[ DISCONTINUED ]
This is one of the most Common questions actually. cx
I used to record outside at the balcony. ; w ;
Like I would hang it overhead with a tripod and a couple of strings(sometimes a ladder). OvO
Camera : Nikon(21x wide optical zoom)
Tripod : [Old One] The most recent one was similar to the Trek-Tech T-pod [2]
Now I can't find these items.

What kind of warmup/drawing exercise do you use?

Thumbnail-size anatomy poses from mind. Just let your mind dump all over until you can find something that interests you the most~ (~ OvO)~

My recent animations were made in Portable Photoshop CS6. OwO

Photoshop CS6 with a Wacom Intuos Tablet. >v<

How do you give Llama Badges?

When you go to people's front pages you see a "Give" button on the upper right page.

Buuuuuut, when I become financially stable, I'll open a request box for you to drop a request~ ;w;

Can we do an Art Trade?

I'd love to but I can't, at the moment. ;; ^ ;;

Besides, I'm bad at giving advisesMRRRRRRRRHM~~~~~
sketchyrae.deviantart.com/favo…

Can you critique my works/WIPs?

Mrmherfrmhfrsmrhr.  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah . . . I get nervous for some reason. Again, I'm not really good at giving critiques. But it's been a while since I've been critiquing works from one deviant. There was this person 3 years ago who keeps on asking me about giving a critic to his work in progresses in notes even when I'm still a student myself. They suddenly got deactivate and I still don't know why.
Ó v Ò;;

Help me with some projects?

Sorry, I can't. It's a little complicated.

Most of my works, especially commissions, are not allowed to be coloured. Sorry, it's a no. quq

Would you like to participate in my website?

It depends~ ;; v ;;

Do you take commissions?

Yes, but I prefer receiving payments through PayPal. But you must check my gallery to see what I can draw(Anthros/Creatures/ETC) before commissioning. ouo sketchyrae.deviantart.com/gall…

Where do I pay you?

Mainly my PayPal.me link or PayPal invoice. >3< But sometimes I have to receive your note if you prefer the commission widget for sending points. Then I can make a custom payment for you. *v*

Any additional charges?

There might be additional charges for actions, backgrounds, time I spent on the piece, ETC ETC. I'll let you know~! OwO

@ A @ Nah, mon. Keep it PG13 or PG16 or whatever. I don't draw NSFW.

What should I write when sending you a note?

When writing their bio in notes, you must give me visual references and the necessary information. Keep it simple. >3<

Why so is it so expensive?

I calculated how much time I usually spent on a piece and how valuable my works are to me. You don't think my works are worth it? I mean, I'm unable to have a job and I need to pay rents and help my fam a bit. ;v;

How should I commission you?

1] Note me with the title "Commission".
3] Make your order clear. Don't ask if commissions are still open.

Simple~ ;; w ;;

How much was it to add another character?

Usually additional characters are half the price of the first character. But sketch commissions are only doubled. :'>

My OC is an animal/dragon/pony, can I still commission you?

Yes, and if I couldn't draw their animal form, we can discuss if I can them as an Anthro. :'>

How long will I wait?

I would remind myself to finish in under a week. I think you should wait a whole week . . . or two. I only have 15 days to finish it . . . Or a month, but only when I have a very long commissioner list. qwq

What took you so long?

Well, it's either a long list of commissioners or because of the lovely p̶̷҉ơ̷w̧҉e̵͝r̴̢ ̡͞͝ǫ͠u͘͢͏͏t̨͘͜à͘͞͏͢g҉e҉̧͏͢͏s̴҉҉ ͏͘͠a̷͘̕ņ̷̡̕͞d̵̡̕ ̴̸̨͜r̡̀͠͡a̶͢ì̢͘͡n̴s͞͠͞t҉̴̵̕ơ̧҉̶r҉́͜ḿ̢̢̧s̶̀͠͏.̵̶͢
plz b patient~

Where can I see a preview of my commission?

This is a first-come-first-serve kind of commission. Meaning you won't actually see it until it's finished. I like to keep the process simple. ;w; So it is important to help me understand before I make any mistakes. I can fix it, but it a little tricky sometimes.

How did you discover Criss Angel?

LJDFHGLDJKFHJSDF It's when we got our very first cable tv on AXN/AXN Beyond. O3O
His illusions are really mind-blowing! XD
That's like over 9 years ago? Around 2005? O v O
I was very unfamiliar with wide range of accents that time, so his Long Island accent made little me thought "Yep, He's from mexico". I was younger than 11 okay?? XD We lost our cable a looooong time ago and I miss watching Mindfreak very much~

Watch-back?

This method doesn't always work! Trust me. I tried it when I was very new here, and a lot of them didn't care after that. :'>
