Tell us a bit about yourself! I’m currently an art major in college. I’m a pretty introverted person and generally quiet but I like talking to people once i feel comfortable, it might just take me a minute first to respond properly since i'm used to keeping to myself. I’m also bad at telling jokes but i love making puns so that's a winning combination right there lol. My favorite way to draw it digitally cuz don't have to deal with messy tools, ruined clothes, and grey hands.

When did you get into the fandom and how did you stumble upon it? I remember seeing the initial joke post and finding it hilarious. Then i found the comic and read it all the way through, at that point it was a little after Nat’s first roof incident. After that I think i lost track of it for a while and when I came back I reread it again and at this point it was during the run arc and have since permanently super glued myself to this emotional rollercoaster.

Who are your favorite characters/pairings? My favorite pairing Is Natan and so far my favorite characters in the story are Nat, Satan, Yup, Titus, Gabriel, and Jophiel

Favorite moment in the comic? I have a lot but one of my top faves is the whole scene when Natalie is rescued by Luce from Titus and she finally uses her wish

What is your biggest inspiration as far as your art goes? Im probably not the best at words so i'm not really sure how to explain it but I really like films like spirited away, howl’s moving castle, Atlantis: the lost empire, Patema Inverted, etc. I love those types of movies not only because of how they look but more the feel i get when watching them. Like when you get really immersed in something. Seeing things like that make me want to work towards creating something like that one day.

What would you say is your favorite piece that you’ve done so far? One of my favorite SaM pieces i’ve posted so far is the one with Satan giving Nat a bear hug cuz he’s so happy

What would you say is one of your favorite things to draw? One of my favorite things is designing characters and then making up stories for them. Coloring is also my favorite part to do when I draw.

What do you think influences your art style? I get influenced by shows,comics, other artists, and the type of music i'm listening to at the moment  when i'm drawing. Part of the reason I like watching art streams and speedpaints is because that way I can see all the different ways people approach the same things and apply similar techniques to my own drawings.

What are some of your hobbies you enjoy? I love reading comics and playing video games. Im currently playing ffxv, project diva x, and KH unchained for the phone. I’ve also recently been trying to get better at animating which has been kinda fun.

Before joining SaM, what was a fandom you were part of and are there any fandoms you’re into outside of SaM? Hmm, before SaM I remember being really into Vocaloid and Naruto but currently even though there are shows and games I love I mostly enjoy them by myself since sometimes people tend to take things too seriously. I think rn SaM is the only fandom I actively take part in. i enjoy it, everyone here seems really nice!

Is there anything else you’d like the fandom to know about you or anything you’d like to say to the fandom as a whole? Thank you to everyone who enjoys my posts!
