:dizzy: Q & A :dizzy:

:sparkles: Who is Peach! Tell us a little about yourself! :sparkles:

Hihi I’m Peach! I’m pretty shy and socially awkward for the most part but I do open up a bit when I’m comfortable. I take a huge joy out of making ocs and deg characters for the fun of it! Huge fan of the Fallout series and Hypnosis Mic!

:sparkles: How long have you been drawing for? :sparkles:

I’ve been drawing for around 10+ years! Didn’t take it a bit more seriously some time in 2013-2014 around the beginning of highschool.

:sparkles: What inspired you to begin drawing? :sparkles:

Mostly seeing plenty of cartoons and anime when I was younger, but I think what made me want to draw was when I first read Fruits Basket. I was really fond of the art style at the time and thought I could do the same.

:sparkles: What tools do you use? :sparkles:

Paint Tool SAI and I use a Star 03 Pro Tablet!

:sparkles: What’s your favorite part of SUA? :sparkles:

I’d probably have to say all the ocs and the art! I really have an adoration for others’ ocs, they usually always have designs I absolutely adore. I also appreciate the community, They’re all such lovely people!

:sparkles: What are some of your personal favorite Art pieces? :sparkles:

I have a few that I adore so I chose my top 3 haha

:sparkles: Any tips or advice for aspiring artists? :sparkles:

Use references whenever you’re not too sure about a certain pose or how something should be. Also, take as much breaks as you need and make sure you’re taking care of yourself! !

Chaotic Blueman

┗━━•°•°• :star2: •°•°•━━┛

✩          ✩         ✩          ✩

:dizzy: Q & A :dizzy:

:sparkles: Who are you! Tell us a little about yourself! :sparkles:

I am Chaotic-Blueman. I live in England and despite the regular stereotype I do not like tea! I am currently awaiting to go into further education to study acting at University (College for you American folk) but in my spare time I like to sing, draw and of course write stories!

:sparkles: How long have you been writing? :sparkles:

I started writing when I was about 10 (8 years ago) as it was expected in school and I've enjoyed writing ever since, creative writing was always my favourite (Or as we called it in primary school 'Big Writing')

:sparkles: What inspired you to write? :sparkles:

My biggest inspiration to write was my own imagination. I had a very picturative imagination and wanted to show what I thought, however with the struggles of being unable to draw what I saw in my head, i turned to writing. The biggest leap for when my Writing really took off actually started when I did RP with some of my friends. I created stories and scenarios for our characters and I was such fun

:sparkles: What are your favorite types of literature? Favorite genre(s)? Favorite author(s)? :sparkles:

Any kind of fiction is a love of mine, fantasy especially. The 'unreal' aspect of writing is what I love, Harry Potter and the magic, Narnia and it's creativity, the Lord of the Rings and it's fantasy. All these creative books inspiring me to do something just like it

:sparkles: What is your favorite part of SUA? :sparkles:

My favourite part of SUA has to be the community! Every day I see such creativity coming from so many people. It warms my heart to see everyone being able to share what they love in one place

:sparkles: Any tips or advice for aspiring writers? :sparkles:

Never give up! If you first piece of writing doesn't go to plan don't give up! Research, look into what you're writing about. Plan ahead and take time. My last piece I spent two weeks on! Feel free to be as creative as you like! The most important piece of advice I can give has to be: Enjoy yourself. If it feels like a task, then you're doing it wrong! Writing should be about enjoying yourself. Even if you're writing serious stuff

:sparkles: What are some of your personal favorite written pieces? :sparkles:

My first piece of writing on the amino 'Azurite: Origin Story' kicked off my Writing on the amino with a feature! I was so happy to be able to share the story of my first Steven Universe OC with the community. Then of course 'The D-squad' my recent Writing Warp about a Detective Aquamarine and a rather dim Demantoid attempting to solve a mystery.

┏━━•°•°• :star2: •°•°•━━┓

Bumblebee Jasper

┗━━•°•°• :star2: •°•°•━━┛

✩          ✩         ✩          ✩

:sparkles: What are some traits of your character? :sparkles:

Well for starters she’s got a pretty bombastic personality. She comes on strong and she likes to grip life by the horns and make the best of any given situation.

:sparkles: What inspired you to create your character? :sparkles:

Well.. honestly I’ve been trying to get the right gemsona design that I would love. All I knew when making this rendition of my gemsona was that I wanted her to be yellow, and bumblebees are cute. The bee aesthetic is one I enjoy quite a lot, so that’s what made me decide on her gem type. I’d say those were my primary inspirations for creating her.

:sparkles: How long have you been developing this OC of your’s? :sparkles:

Well, Bee is one of many gemsona designs I’ve come up with over the years. This has been a gemsona in the works since way back in 2017.

:sparkles: What is your favorite thing about them? :sparkles:

My favorite thing about Bee, hands down is her character design. Her design is something I have a lot of pride and joy in.

:sparkles: What is your least favorite thing about them? :sparkles:

Honestly this is a hard question to answer. I love this oc so much that it’s hard to think of something I dislike about her. I don’t really believe there is anything I truly dislike about my character.

As the years go by, my ion project known as Everdawn grows and changes in ways you wouldn't expect. With humble beginnings as a simple AU, to fully developing into an independent storyline and universe, its been one hell of a ride, and with it I'm proud to announce the Everdawn Adopt Team! This month, our theme hails from a dark dimension known as The Void. Starting September 28th, me and my team as we pull from its clutches a number of gems based on its hellish layers, starting with the realm of eternal storms, The Aether.
