Frequently Asked Questions
I would recommend reading before asking any questions.
About
❥ Who is Angelmorningstar/dacrylagnia?
I'm Angelmorningstar & dacrylagnia ✿ I'm very inspired by Japanese artists, especially those who work in manga and anime. However, I have an appreciation for art coming from all corners of the world. I mainly work in 2D illustration, for now. Please put aside any assumptions you have already made about me and see my works for what they are.

❥ Where else can I find you?
I'm on Twitter and Instagram. You can contact me there, but it is not checked daily. I would recommend reaching me by e-mail (angelmourningtsar@gmail.com) instead.

❥ Why do you use two aliases?
I don't only use two aliases.

❥ What do you work on?
2D illustration, character design, album covers

❥ What are your influences? How do you come up with ideas?
The artists I like are very influential to me. I want to make something at least half as good as what they do. Some of my favorite artists are Patricia Piccinini, Yasushi Nirasawa, Yui_mera, and sharkplane77.

For ideas, sometimes I lift them from old mythology and folklore. Sometimes an idea is based on what I think would be hot. Sometimes an idea is how I want the world to be. I focus on the issues in the world that matter to me, especially the ones others may forget.

I find nature to be my biggest source of inspiration. There are so many strange and beautiful animals in this world. Humans are just one of many.

❥ Can I make a design based on yours?
Yes, that's okay. Please try to be original with your design inspired by me. Changing species and nothing more is not appropriate.
If you think your design is too close, you can ask me. Please, do not copy my designs. It affects my livelihood. Thank you.
Concerns
❥ Your art offends me/it fetishizes certain groups/etc.
There is far more offensive art out there that is meant to spread hate and fear. I mostly draw characters I find pretty or interesting. If that is truly offensive to you, I can do nothing for you. Thank you for understanding.

❥ You’re pretentious and cringey.
All artists are.
