So finally decided to make a FAQ, so here may be answers for your question, and read this before asking :3
If the silly childish "drawings" included, then I'm drawing as long as I can remember (all my life). I started it more seriously/intensively since 2012 though.
How long does it take to do an artwork?
It depends on the type of artwork. Traditional takes 1-5 hours, digital 4-25 hours, and crafts... up to few months xD Not including the studies or personal issues.
What medium do you use?
For traditional at I usually use various color pencils, black markers and pens, watercolors, gouache, acrylics.
For digital art, I use Huion GT-190 tablet monitor and Manga Studio art program.

Did you have any art education?
Yes I did, I've finished Art School on 2013. Here's a pic of graduation :3
Since graduating gymnasium, then I studied and graduated Ceramics at at Applied Art School, and at the time I'm studying Dental Technology (I see teeth everywhere :F).

How did you become such a talented artist?
I can't say I'm very talented compared to other artists... But I guess I have a formula for that:
Practice + no fear + time + enjoying = your goal
Practice + no fear + time + enjoying = your goal
Must admit that the goal is actually all your life practice. Since that's how artists work, when they make something, they always see some ways they could have made it better, and then they try to reach "perfection" with each work XD.
What inspires you?
Movies, songs, clouds, books or other philosophical texts, works by other artist, casual things...more or less probably everything XD
Why you love dragons so much?
Actually I like most of reptiles (not sure why, maybe of their scales or anatomy). When I was a child, I admired dinosaurs a lot, and only then knew about dragons. I fell in love with those, because from early days I had a big imagination and loved fantasy. Those beasts were perfect for me. So I got into dragon fandom and at first became kinda a dragon artist (and only then a furry artist ).
And so, fantasy helps me to survive reality...
What else do you like to draw?
At the time my preference rather changed so I really like anthros now. But despite that, I actually can draw everything :3 (except humans, I need to do lots of practice to to make them look decent xD)
What else do you do despite drawing?
Drawing is my casual and maybe most usual type of art. But I also make sculptures and plushies, time to time dreamcatchers, scrapbooking and some more arts :3 I plan to make fursuits too.
Actually what I tried and didn't like was knitting! (it drives me crazy)
Can I have art from you?
First off, check my art status on my profile what is currently open. I usually work for payment, since i try to make drawing as my job. Here you can find all the info about all my commission types
Sorry, but most of the time my requests are closed and gifts are for friends only or for random people when I feel generous.
In art trades, I tend to have a partner, who has similar art skills as I do, so the trade could be fair. Info about my trading tendencies are here
Do you have any characters?
I have a lot of them. All art of them are here .

GENERAL RULES
Do you have any characters?
I have a lot of them. All art of them are here .
Yes of course. And not only one:
Can I draw fanart of your characters?
Aboslutely! I really appreciate fanarts
Can I use your works?
I don't think so, unless you bought it for your non-commercial/personal use and with full CREDITS for me as an artist. Commissioners or people whom I made the artwork, are able to reupload it to their galleries, with credits as well.
More over, copying, stealing or tracing isn't acceptable for ANYONE, so please be creative and do something by yourself. I recognize when something gets really "visually inspired", so if you still prefer to ignore any artist's preferences, then at least give them credits for the pose or anything you've highly used as a reference!

Do you have other accounts in other sites?
I'm mostly on DeviantArt, and FurAffinity. I have Weasyl, which I barely even use xD Meanwhile my Facebook and Discord are for personal use and quick discussions with frequent commissioners only. I do like to chat, but I'd give the contacts only if I know you well!
As for any other sites or social media stuff like Myspaces, Twitters, Instagrams or so - NOPE, I don't have those and do not ask me to make one!
What is your favourite color?
Most tones of blue (for example indigo) :3 But i also like purple, emerald blue, teal, turquoise, violet.
Can we be friends?
It's usually if we are friendly to each other, talk quite a lot and without pushing each other. Any relationships comes through time.
Please follow me elsewhere
I keep getting watches and all other support here, but PLEASE just follow me on https://www.furaffinity.net/user/drerika/ I'm active there, I read comments and notes there, my gallery is up to date THERE with all the stuff I never showed on DA, and I accept commissions only there. So just make an account there in case you really wanna watch me rolling :D since I'm no longer using DA anymore and won't post anything here either. DA will remain as a stash for art commissions others could download and it has a nice feature with thumbnails so good for showcasing my commission info with examples and that is ALL I'm gonna use it for from now on. It already was hard to maintain equally both galleries until now, so I'm only focusing on FA truly, sorry
The new version of DA...
So I just tried to find things that were handy in the old version, and my conclusion is pretty much the same as the rest of the users about this new version of DA. The old version wasn't the best ( as I liked the 2013-2015-ish version most), but hey, it was bearable as all the previous features were working. And now they completely fucked it up all over. Even the basic stuff disappeared. Sadly DA never listened to their users and I doubt they will, as from the very beginning of this new version release, nobody were happy about it. Reading all the comments and journals makes me upset, how such a big site can collapse, as a lot of artists are already abandoning it. Even tho I really don't like all of this, I'll keep submitting (my art was started in this site so kinda having sentiments xD), but it seems I won't be able to do normal activity as I used to do (I can't even find how to maintain the groups I'm admin in). So I'll just go with the flow and do basic stuff. I'll try to learn all
Poseable art doll commissions OPEN! ASAP
Poseable art doll is such a craft similar to a plushy, but has a wire armature inside which lets the body and limbs to be flexible and maintain a pose. Paws, face, and some other things are sculpted from clay.
So I'm sitting here with extra loaf of wire and clay, and need these gone asap, so I'm offering some art doll commissions.
Examples of my previous similar old crafts are here:
I can do from ~15cm high chibi dolls to ~50cm high. So the price can vary from 60 eur to 300 eur or more (depending on size and character design). Payment plans are acceptable. You can comment a size with a ref to your character so I can give quote.
Any species,
Comms reopening,prices + instream commihes OPEN
Hey all
I'm kinda back for this month but I'll see how it will go the next month as I'll be having job practice for around next 4 months.
PRICES
Anyway, wanted to let you know that another year passed, and I got quite of interest in my art thus I can't cope with all the work flow xD... For that my most popular digital commission types (fullbodies, complex backgrounds, chibies, instream sketches) will have a price increase of around 15-20%. The new prices will be added before I'll reopen up.
REOPENING
The reopening date is unknown as yet I'm unsure when I'll be finished with last bigger commission and if I'll have time to do new ones during
