FAQ

Have a few questions? Take a look below!

What can I call you? Fosbat and Fos are both fine!

What are your pronouns? I’m comfortable with any pronouns! (They/She/He)

What kind of art do you do? I’m a cartoon animal artist in general, but I can be fairly flexible! I also do environment art, 3D modelling and texturing, and concept art! Animal art is simply what I specialize in.

Are you a furry? No.

Do you do art trades or requests? Never requests. I will occasionally reach out to people to do art trades, but it is unlikely.

Do you do NSFW artwork? No.

What programs do you use? In stream I’m most often using Clip Studio Paint, and out of stream I prefer Procreate! I also know Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya, ZBrush, Blender, Substance Painter, UE4, and Mari!

How can I commission you? Feel free to refer to my commission page for the information you’re looking for! Short answer, follow my Twitter! I open commissions every Saturday after my stream. 

How long have you been drawing? My entire life I’ve been doodling! But I started doing digital art and trying to advance my style more seriously in 2014-2015. Before that, I painted in Oils, Acrylic and Watercolour!

Did you go to school for art, or are you self taught? I have a Bachelor’s degree in Character Design, HOWEVER I consider myself self-taught. The vast majority of my art skill came from me taking the initiative to try and advance my understanding of art. The school taught me some fundamentals but I prefer to credit myself for most of my advancements.

I am currently in a new program for Video Game Design as well, where I hope to broaden my skillset to other programs.

Can you teach me how to draw/paint/design? I cannot! If you have specific questions I will be happy to try and answer them, but I am not a teacher! If you are looking for more in depth resources, you are welcome to check out my Patreon, as I do monthly tutorials on there! https://www.patreon.com/fosbat

How can I support you? I appreciate any kind of support! If you’d like to follow me, I have a DeviantArt, Twitch, and Twitter account, all under Fosbat.
I also have a Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/fosbat
And a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fosbat 

Do you do in-stream requests? Nope!

Who made your avatar? I drew the avatar and all of the props, and SorryCyn on Twitter did all the animating on Live2D! I use animaze to stream them. Here is their link: https://twitter.com/sorrycyn

What species is your avatar? He is an Opossum, and his name is Alfie! He is my mascot for Twitch and Twitter.

What program are you using right now? Clip Studio Paint! It’s an awesome program, and goes on sale quite frequently if you like the looks of it!

What brushes do you use? I tend to use just the basic brushes from Clip Studio! Mostly GPen, Dense Watercolour, and the India Ink brushes. I also enjoy Frenden’s brush set, which you can purchase online.

What playlist do you use? It’s my personal Spotify playlist! Here is the link to it! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6EwNXJ6hjcX0jevDhFxBs9?si=4b2b77834fee4715

Do you take song requests? If it’s already on my playlist, yes! If not, generally I don’t, apologies! 

How do I get an opossum? Simply tell me the number/theme you want, and the price you want to pay! If it’s still available, I will confirm with you that you got it, and send you my paypal address!
Please only send the payment if I’ve confirmed that you’ve got the opossum!

What should I put in the description when sending payment? It would be really helpful if you put the number or theme of your opossum, and what social media to send the file to after the steam is done!
For example: “I claimed #4, please send to @Fosbat on Twitter”

Can I claim more than one? Not until the end of the stream! You may claim one right off the bat, but you have to wait until everyone that wants one gets one before claiming another! If there are leftovers at the end of the stream, I will announce when you are able to claim a second

Can I pre-claim any before stream? No you cannot! This is a stream specific activity, and you must be in stream to claim.

Can I claim for somebody else, who isn’t in the stream? Ask me! If I can confirm their username I will generally allow it!

Can I ask for edits to my design? Or specific design elements? I am willing to do minor design element changes and edits, but not huge ones! Changing the palettes, redoing the designs, etc. are all things that I generally won’t do.

What if I buy a design in advance, and don’t like it? You can always bring it up to me if there are little things I can do to make the design more to your taste! However if you buy the design in advance, you are acknowledging that you do not know what it looks like. I provide the colours and the theme beforehand, and don’t offer refunds if you’re not pleased with it! Apologies for any inconvenience, but that is the risk of ‘gacha’ themed adopts!
