About me
—Hello there!
My name is Eva but I usually just go by Zephira. I’m a digital artist from Norway, with a huge passion anything crafty and creative.I like to dabble into gaming, Dungeons and dragons, game dev, and reading.You'll find me as @zephiranox on a few different platforms, but I'm the most active on BlueSky, Twitch and ko-fi.—Future projects
Currently in the process of world building for a game or comic. Haven’t quite decided yet ahaha
General
—How can I contact you?
You can contact me through my email; [email protected]
—Can I draw you OC’s?
Of course!! Just make sure you tag me so I can see it! :D
—Why are you not active on Twitter/Instagram anymore?
I am so tired of fighting against the algorithm in general, and i don't want to support someone like Musk. So i've moved to better alternatives like BlueSky (twitter alternativ), Cara (Artstation alternativ) and Artfol (Deviantart alternative) to experience a much better environment.
Art
—Can I use your art for icons/headers/etc?
You can only use and/or repost art that was made for you, or given to you!
That means you're welcome to use an artwork that you either received as a gift from me, commissioned from me, or got permission to use from a person who commissioned it from me.As always, if you do use or post an artwork that I made for you, even if you have my permission, always give visible credit to me!
—What software do you use?
I often switch between Procreate and Clip Studion Paint! I am mainly using Procreate for studies, ocaationally illustrations and doodles, and Clip studio paint to create ready-to-rig vtuber designs and illustrations.
—What brushes do you use?
-Procreate: I use a handful of original brushes in combo with Maxpacks brushes.
-Clip Studio Paint: Most of my brushes are original with the exception of a few blending and paint brushes. I'll make a list from the asset store at some point :>
Commissions
—Why do you use Vgen for commissions instead of ko-fi or Artistree?
Vgen are a new commission website that pride itself on being safe for both creators and clients. As such it provides invites to only trusted creators, and verification to the one who has proven as such.
Note: I'm am very new on Vgen, and therefor are not Verified yet. :)I use this website over Kofi/artistree because it has a lot more features that make both my life, and clients life a lot easier in regards to features. They also plan on other features in the future which it believe is very useful and therefore wish to support Vgen.
My hope is to have everything in one place!
—Can I order more than 1 piece?
Of course! But please submit a separate commission requests on my Vgen profile! It makes everything more structured for us both.
—Can you work from description only?
No. I will not work from description only, however if you do not have drawn references, a moodboard and a good amount of pictures to support your descriptions will do!
Crediting Artists
— How does "crediting" work?
Even if you have my permission to repost or use something I drew for you, you still need to give visible credit to me. The point is to make sure that anyone who sees the art will easily be able to find out who made it.
If you repost a commission or an adoptable that was made by me, please include a link to my website, my Bluesky, or Ko-fi. I'm not active on ToyHouse but I have an account, so you can credit me there if you prefer.
(Providing just ONE link is enough! I am on Twitter or Instagram, so you can just @ me. But do note i'm not active there anymore)
— Where do I put the credit?
If you're using the art as your profile picture, the credit should be in your profile/bio.
If you're posting the artwork on Twitter, BlueSky, Instagram, Toyhou.se etc, the credit should be in the image description.
Basically, a person who is looking at the artwork should also be seeing the credit.
If a person finds the image and has trouble finding out where the artwork came from, it means you have not credited the artist properly. The credit can be a @tag or link.
— Why is crediting artists important?
The point of crediting artists is to make sure that anyone who sees an artwork online can easily find out who made it.
It's not about clout, it's about sharing the creator info with everyone who comes in contact with the artwork.
From a user perspective: if someone sees an artwork they like, they might want to see more art like that, so they'll want to find the creator.
By crediting artists, you're not just doing the bare minimum when it comes to respecting their work. You're also actively supporting them, by helping other people find them. It's good for business!
