🌿🌱 Mokutone Masterpost 🌱🌿

Hi! Welcome. This post will function sort of as a FAQ and will be updated as such. You don't need to read it, but if you've had these questions, here are my answers:

"Do you take Commissions?"

Not yet! I do, however, have a Ko-fi, where I'll do some little thank-you doodles!

"Do you have a shop?"

No, not at the moment! I am considering it though...

"What materials do you use?"

By far the questions I get asked the most are about this, so this will get very long and I'm going to put it under a readmore. I will address the papers, inks, watercolors, dip pens, brushes, and other materials that I have used.

I also answer questions about my materials under the "my ninja tools and scrolls" tag, and give art technique advice under the "my jutsu" tag. Yes it's silly, but this is a Naruto art blog. this is what we all signed up for.

ahhh!!! i wish you sent this off anon bc then, if i did move to some other website in the future, i could reply to this then!!!! i don't post my art anywhere but tumblr at the moment, and i am not posting much at all (as u can see) and, unfortunately, i don't think i foresee myself posting on any other website unless a really good tumblr alternative with all of the plusses and less of the minuses comes around that all my friends move to, or tumblr shuts down Badly

also—my...work? my art work ? i appreciate the congratulations but i'm not sure what you mean but—yeah. heads up to anyone who wants a response from me to a specific question: don't use anon for that!!!! tumblr might not alert you to my response, and it might take me a very long time for me to respond!!!

i've gotten a handful of asks gently prodding me to make sure i'm alive (theyre very sweet) and i'm answering this one only bc it touched me deeply if i wait a while to answer it i know the asker won't get alerted so! 1) it's definitely okay to message me! but, that said: i probably will not reply to most asks for a very long time (sorry!) 2) that is, i think, the sweetest thing you could possibly say to me—maybe to any artist. i'm really, really, profoundly glat that my art made you want to make art too!!! other artists have done this for me when i was stuck, and i am eternally grateful to them, and now eterernally grateful to you, for finding what you needed in my art, that's a beautiful thing, and it's an honor as an artist!! i hope that somebody is brave and kind enough to tell you that your art inspired them to create—its a feeling like nothing else. i'm SO, so glad, that art is bringing you joy again!!! 3) (as for how i am doing—life continues, in its own way. most things are not good, but some are! i've made a promise with myself not to post on this blog until i sort out some unfortunately very real life difficulties, and.......it's been a year and i'm still working on it! life continues. good days and bad days. i suppose i'm also in a bit of a silent period of my own at the moment, in many ways! it happens to everyone, and it'll end eventually for me too)

and, with that said—let the silence resume for now.

i read every ask i get! some of them have typed responses waiting to be posted, but i've made a deal with myself that im not going to post any new content of any substantial quality until i get some real life obligations handled 😭 ty for your well wishes! i hope ur doing okay and having fun too

I am alive! Thank you for your concern, it's very kind of you to wonder after me This has been a pretty hectic summer with a lot of responsibilities, and new challenges cropping up. I DO have a lot of asks to answer and kindnesses to thank people for, and I'll hopefully be getting to them soon.

Thank you again for asking, and sorry for the delay in responding! I hope u have a good day 💚

questions continued:

kgjsdhgksdjgh thank you for your enthusiasm! that's very sweet! no worries about the additional asks, but i'm combining them all into one post to make answering easier thank you! i'm working on my sense of humor :^) dad jokes are a great place to start with, like puns, they get a big and silly reaction out of people when you do them well

your reading of me is interesting! that is the way i try to behave, especially on this blog where my interactions are few and so curating my presentation is a lot easier. in the practice of day-to-day life, I think i'm probably the most like sakura 😅 with a little yamato in there for transmasc and standoffish flavor

and thank you! i'm glad you enjoy the way that i look at things! i try to dig into the angles which interest me most, and to share what interests me about them

hey, thank you! that's really sweet of you to say! i'm kissing you on the forehead too :) mwah mwah!! 💚

HEHEHEHE!!!!!! OH YOURE SPOILING ME!!!!!! thank you for putting me in the position of might gai :^D!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm so flattered

thank you @depressedhatakekakashi for the ko-fi!!! :^D i chose to draw you a gai doodle!!!

WAAAHHH!!!!!! thank you!!!!!!!!!! that's so sweet—I'm so glad you took the time to tell me this, and I'm glad that you're feeling up to drawing more!!! mwah mwah i am kissing u on the forehead. i hope that you get what you want out of your studies, and that your relationship to your art flourishes!!!

and thank u so much for this drawing of yamato!!! i love him!!! he's so cute...i love how u drew his nose and eyes especially!!!

that's not a dumb question at all!

yeah, if you donate via kofi using a paypal personal account, paypal will use the name attached to that and share that name with the person you donated to, which is probably going to be your government name. if you don't want anyone seeing that name, then yeah, it's probably best not to donate using paypal on kofi—and that's entirely understandable. i do want to say personally, and i know this is the case for many others, but as a trans person my policy to seeing a name in paypal is to ignore it because frequently a government name isn't the person's living name, yfm? i only acknowledge names people actively introduce themselves as, such as calling themself in conversation or a name they use on their blog, you know? i do my best to ignore or forget the rest

but to reiterate, in terms of privacy concerns: yeah your government name, if visible on paypal (which it probably would be on a personal account) will be used in transactions and if you want that to remain entirely secret, then kofi might not be the best option :(
