BakaPandy’s FAQ
Hi, I’m Pandy, welcome to my tumblr! I thought I’d make a little post about me and some frequently asked questions I get. Please read this before sending me an ask!
ABOUT ME
Who are you?
I’m BakaPandy, but you can call me Pandy! Pronouns are she/her/hers. I’m 27 years old and I draw for fun or whatever catches my fancy.
Where are you from?
USA
Do you draw professionally?
No, I draw as a hobby. I work in the medical field.
(While I’m glad people are interested in what I do, I’d rather if you don’t ask me questions about it as I would like to keep my professional life private and separate from fandom)
How did you come up with your username?
I was a 11 yo weeb in the 2000s - early 2010s where everything had “baka” or “kawaii” or “sugoi”, etc. The name bakapandy stuck from way back then and has become a bit of a brand and changing it is just too much effort.
How can I support you as an artist?
I have a Ko-Fi!
Reblogs are always the best. And feel free to comment! I love reading comments, replies, and tags. They always make my day.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to take commissions, but I do appreciate any sort of support!
ABOUT MY ART
Do you take commissions or requests?
Currently, no. Since I have limited time to draw because of school, I’d prefer to spend it drawing something that I want to draw. I do read suggestions and ideas if they end up in my inbox but I can not promise that I will draw it.
Where did you learn to draw?
I’m self-taught. Lots and lots of admiring other people’s work and practicing a ton.
When did you start drawing/How long have you been drawing?
I’ve loved to draw all my life, but I got invested when I was about 10 when I truly dedicated time and effort into improving. So I guess it’s going on 17 years now.
What do you use to draw?
I use an 11in iPad pro, apple pencil, and Clip Studio Paint iOS
I’ve previously used a Wacom intuos, but switched over to the ipad pretty much exclusively a couple years ago
Can I use your art for my profile pic?
You can use my art for icons, phone and desktop wallpapers for YOUR OWN USE ONLY without asking me, though I’d really appreciate if you’d credit me if you use it in a public domain.
Can I share your artwork on other sites?
No, please don’t repost my artwork anywhere else. You can always link to my blog or the page of the drawing (if there’s a thumbnail involved that automatically generated, then that’s fine), BUT PLEASE DON’T RE-UPLOAD ANYTHING. Share my work with whatever function is given to you on the site (reblogs for Tumblr, retweets for Twitter, etc.) so that it comes DIRECTLY FROM ME. I really appreciate your cooperation for this.
Can I translate your work?
The ONLY exception I make for reposting my artwork is for translation purposes. I don’t require you to ask me, but I would you appreciate it if you did. I’d also love to see it!
PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE MY SIGNATURE AND PLEASE CREDIT ME AS THE ARTIST AND AUTHOR IF YOU DO.
Where else can I find your art?
I have a Twitter and Instagram
FANDOM RELATED
Will you ever draw Free!/sourin again?
Honestly, I don’t know. I loved Free! and SouRin for so long but my creative energy for them fizzled out and I just don’t have anymore ideas...maybe when I finally see Final Stroke, I’ll make something?
Who are your favorite Naruto characters?
In case you couldn’t tell from my art content, I love the Sand-Nara family. Gaara has always been my favorite since I was in middle school.
Who do you ship with Gaara?
No one. I headcanon him as aro/ace.
What do you think about Gaara ships?
They’re not my cup of tea but people can ship what they want. Go live your best lives.
What about Boruto ships?
I don’t ship the kids. I just like them all being cute and friends.
Recently, though, I got into Konohamaru X Log lmao.
Please note that Log is an adult and I consider him separate person to Mitsuki. I do not ship or endorse KonoM*itsu in any way, shape, or form. They are not the same people and have entirely different personalities.
Do you have ANY ships in Naruto?
Pretty much only ShikaTema is the one I’m the most invested in. I follow along with the canon ships (e.g. NaruHina, SasuSaku, ChoKarui) but I have no particularly strong feelings for or against them.
Other ships I enjoy in passing: KakaGai, NejiTen, SaiIno, NejiLee
Do you have a Naruto OC?
I have one OC and her name is Kotori, and she’s Shinki’s daughter haha. She’s a joint OC with my friend @bichobolitagaarashusband
Usually though, I prefer to stick to canon characters, relationships, and dynamics
Do you not like Naruto OCs?
They typically don’t really interest me so I don’t really engage with them. But people can do what they want and I’m not going to criticize them for it. I have Kotori and tbh I really only interact with one OC mostly bc he belongs to my friend haha
