Wanted to come by and thank you for watching!~
Of Course! Your work is amazing! 
I especially loved your digital and animation pieces! Would it be okay if I asked you like what equipment/programs you use? I'm an artist myself and I've been super interested in learning how to work digitally, but I keep getting super overwhelmed over how many choices their are as well as how expensive a bunch of that stuff is. I've done some research on it but high school has kinda gotten in the way of that (curse you midterms!!). I'm not really sure if these are acceptable questions to ask you, and I know this might be asking a lot, but I thought it was worth a shot talking to you anyway.

Of course it's okay!!
Lets seeeee... To draw I started out on GIMP digitally (since Photoshop was so expensive). I feel like GIMP is basically Photoshop without all the bells and whistles, but actually everyone I know says that GIMP is positively evil (LOL. I STILL USE IT THOUGH!)
For schoolwork I'll use Photoshop. A lot of people I know like SAI though!
For 3D stuff I use a combination of things, the biggest of which being Autodesk Maya and Zbrush. Now these are like "WOOOAAHHH look at that price tag" programs, but if you're interested in 3D things, I say go for ZBrush first.
Maya comes out with a new update every year, but it's not included (so if you buy maya 2015, you'll have to also buy 2016 when it comes out at full price if you want it)
Zbrush, however, includes all it's updates as a free download when you buy it officially! So if you're set for life.
Anything else you were wonderin' about?~ I'd be happy to answer!

Wow thank you so much! Sorry I didn't reply for so long though (feel really bad about that). My dad actually has GIMP on his computer so I'll check that out! But I have heard a lot about it either being hard to use or just frustrating in general so that's going to be fun! I have been looking into ZBrush like you suggested and OH MY GOODNESS IT'S SO COOL!!! Though it was heartbreaking (cough cough, understatement) to see just exactly how expensive it is! Right now I'm borrowing my older brothers mac book and he had told me about a program called Sketch Book and I had heard a lot of good about it, but then again I have no idea how the heck anything works so... oops.
I also wanted to ask you about how you create the anatomy of your creatures! I have never been the most skilled at legs or arms and you just do such a beautiful job on both of those. I especially liked the hand lizard drawing that you did!
I have a lot of anxiety about showing other people my work, which has always bothered me. I'm a musician too, so I don't quite get why I'm able to sing in front of a crowd of strangers, but I can't even show my mom a drawing that I'm proud of. Nobody has every taught me how to draw, or more importantly how to draw things more easily. I was wondering if you might have some suggestions of tools/techniques that I could use that help you? for instance, legs.... Mine end up always looking like noodles with odd lumps, or like they aren't really apart of the body. Ya know, someone just stuck them there and hoped for the best!
So anyway, Thank you so much for responding! I kinda fell into a pit of depression and anxiety there for a bit, so that's why I hadn't replied to you sooner. (sorry, again) I hope you're doing well!
