I'm sry work sucked ! Here's some random ass questions (that you don't have to answer all or any):

Do you have a piece of media that was your inspiration to become an artist?

Do you have an art style that you're jealous over that you feel you "can't" do?

Childhood pet that made you like, okay I *need* to have pets?

If you could have one exotic pet (like no worries of laws or practicality/ethics) what would it be?

Additionally, that question but fantasy?

If you could be a supernatural creature (vamp, werewolf, witch, etc.) What would you pick or what do you *think* you'd be?

💖❤️

these are such good questions!

1- not one particular piece of media that i can recall, but i was always SUPER into animation as a little kid, especially if it had animated animals - disney movies (especially lion king, my beloved), balto, even comic strips like calvin & hobbes, far side etc. as a child if i was not out otherwise occupied, i was drawing dogs and cats and horses and whatnot. just always been my default state.

2- i love styles that really utilize bright color and dramatic lighting contrast to create volume without lines - i feel like i over-rely on ink when i draw and i would love to be able to do more bold, painterly stuff. these are my favorites on deviantart, which i think are pretty representative of the stuff that catches my eye and makes my brain go "ooh pretty"

3- my childhood cat was a tuxedo named checkers who i got when i was 4, she had a very short tolerance for little kid bullshit but i loved her anyway :') she definitely gave me my love of sassy cats i think haha. my parents didn't want me to have a dog which made me determined for years until they finally relented, and we adopted a shaggy black aussie-collie-lab-chow-?? mix named dixie, who i loved very dearly. idk if she even actually was a herding dog, but i credit my love of herders to her.

4- sulawesi shrimp! i love their little white socks, they are super sensitive to how you keep them though and given that they're critically endangered i'd be too scared to try and accidentally kill them :< but, in a perfect world...

5- maybe cheating but i would love an arcanine

6- WEREWOLF BABYYYYY i adore werewolves i think their mythology is rad as hell. my "actual" creature would probably be something boring like a little slim goblin or smth but if i had the choice, i'm going Maximum Furry

#thank you these were fun <3 #and i had a v good today at work + off early!

so uh, i have a headcanon when i was a kid my mom got me the velveteen rabbit and it quickly became my favorite thing ever, and it even came with this adorable little brown bunny stuffed animal as a companion. imagine a young eric bittle (say, six or so) getting this for christmas or his birthday one year and immediately falling in love with both the rabbit and the story. we know more or less that bitty didn’t really have any close friends back in georgia, so it would make sense for him to hand that title off to a beloved stuffed animal calvin and hobbes style. now the whole theme behind TVR is that if a child loves a stuffed animal enough, the child will see it as Real, which based on some of the things we’ve seen of señor bun, eric very likely considers him Real (in a very loose and theoretical sense—he is an adult after all) based on how he seems to bring him everywhere, and he probably seeks bun out when he needs a boost in confidence.

#check please #señor bunny #eric bittle #i’m projecting a little bit o well #also for those of you who say bun is too clean to have been with eric for 15 plus years #i have a 21 year old stuffed rabbit in my room that’s both well loved and still in great condition #it’s possible #especially given how neat eric can be if he wants
