Hi guys, sorry I never seem to answer asks publicly anymore (I have done back and forth on some private/non-anon ones), some of these asks are super old (up to 3 months) and I just kept them in the backlog because my mind is constantly tired.

I accumulated a lot of new followers recently- So a warm welcome to those who are new to my blog! 

I answer asks once I’ve accumulated an arbitrary amount and do so in a cluster. If you’re uninterested in my personal/ask stuff, or text posts, you can savior/blacklist “steel.txt” or “steelanswers”.

Answers under the cut. (Sorry mobile users, you can scroll past)

Your art is illegally perfect Just JESUS Stop before you drown us in talent like sheesh — woahlookartandwords

'Kay, so, hi. You don't know me and I don't know you but uh I just wanted to pop in and let you know that your art is freaking awesome. The colors and perception you play around with make every piece you do amazing. Please, please, please, do not stop drawing! That is all. Bye!

the way you approach lighting in your artwork always gets me to stop and stare every time it's on my dash, you're amazing. :O 

Thank you everyone!! I seriously appreciate all your compliments and kind words. I don’t intend on stopping drawing, so I sincerely hope my future work will be enjoyable to you guys. I will work hard.

I'd just like to let you know that I absolutely adore your UTAUs! Galvan is definitely my favorite UTAU of all time. I am just a weak little potato who occasionally cries tears of joy when hearing his voicebank... I think that your song choice is excellent and your covers are so unique and easily recognizable to me in the way that they sound (heck, your cover of Quantum Entanglement with Kazuko Yonagine 2.0 is my ringtone). Please keep creating my friend! ~Supaki☆ (just a random anon <:3c)

P.S. I love Achromatic Garden. ~Supaki☆

Thank you Supaki! I’m really glad to hear you enjoy my UTAU and audio work, I worked hard to make sure they sound distinct and memorable both in song choice and stylization. I will keep making things when I get the chance, for sure!

PS. Glad to hear you like AcroGard too, I miss the group!

Hi Steel! I'm sending this /ask/ since I'm really worried about you. (the rest is omitted for privacy purposes, but rest assured I read the remainder of your message.)

Hi Anon, I’m not completely sure who you are, but I really appreciate you reaching out to me at the time you did (which is when I first saw it).  I wished you weren’t on anon so more things could have been discussed, but nevertheless, I am grateful all the same for your support and reassurance. Thank you.

It's nice to hear from you! I really really hope your comic comes out soon :D And I'll be waiting for Maguns' comic :D (please let it be soon) :D :D

Thanks! It depends on how you define “soon” ;[ lol. A lot of things actually have been coming up in my life so I thought a little while ago that I was able to do it soon, only to find out that other shit has to be resolved first. You still might have to wait for a bit but I still intend on getting to it as soon as some things get ironed out.

 I wasn't aware that you had notoriety in the TPOH fandom. I only knew you as an UTAUser, to be honest.

I got into the TPoH fandom by sheer chance.

Hi Steel! I had a question I've been wanting to ask you for a long time. Tbqh, I've heard you sing in Japanese and English, but do you ever sing in your native tongue?

Shamefully, no, because my Chinese is so rusty due to lack of opportunities to use the language. In addition to that, I am not familiar with a whole lot of Chinese music (on top of that, ones I strongly like enough to cover myself). I would like to someday though.

why do you sing so well- //////

I still need a lot of practice BUT THANK YOU!

kykyl25 said: Have you ever read Homestuck? If not it's okay, it'd just mean my next question my sound a tad stranger. What sort of typing style would Magnus use on an instant messaging system? As in, would he forget punctuation or abbreviate words or... Thanks!

I have never read Homestuck, sorry!

I imagine he types relatively formally (Doesn’t use shorthand much unless there are terms that have abbreviation) but might occasionally omit some punctuation. He’s a lot more particular about keeping capitalization.

Can Magnus draw? 

Anonymous said:

Does Magnus know any instruments? (Sorry if asked before)

Magnus can draw diagrams and he can use scientific instruments. 

In all seriousness though, I think in terms of drawing, he captures shapes/general idea type things very well. Probably has a wispy but confident line stroke.

In terms of music instruments, he hasn’t received formal training or anything for any particular instrument, but he does have a loose conceptual understanding of music notes and what sounds pleasing to the ear. Somehow I imagine he’s good with rhythm and percussive stuff. 

self made human, not an idol to be placed on a pedestal

I am slow at answering asks. This is a small pile of asks, the rest I’ve gotten in the recent-ish timeframe were all answered privately.

Hi Steel! So I heard you've moved now, and I was wondering.., If I were to send you something, what address should I send it too? I found your resume with an address last month, but now knowing that you've moved///....

Hm... I wish you had asked me this off anon because I don’t feel comfortable putting my home address out there in the open for lots of people to see. I do indeed have a resume that lists my address ( for career purposes), but it’s currently outdated- so I will need to update that. Thanks for reminding me! I will see to updating that soon.

Can Magnus do cool things with snow? Considering that snow is frozen liquid.

Yup! He spawned an entire snow-covered Christmas 'tree’ out of light and snow, in the last comic I made of him.. if you want to know what else he can do with it, he can do similar things as he can with soldified light. A few examples including making ice sculptures or stairs, freezing over things... Instant ice cream?

How long does it take to finish an art piece? If possible, list all kinds that you seem to do.

Depends on how focused I am/how detail the art is? I’ll try my best to list what I can do. I dunno why people are interested in my speed because I’m slow in terms of posting any form of art.

Art Speeds (approximate)

Pixel Art. Time is variable depending on details, animated or not, etc. 10min-1 hour

Comics. depending on details again, 20min for sketch comic up to 5 hours for full color/polish.

Digital Paintings/Illustrations. 30 min-1 hour for simple character/simple BG, 5 hours-16 hours for anything above and beyond that depending on detail

Hand-Drawn 2D Animation. Several hours for a short clip. Full color animation for 1 minute will probably take me a week or two.

Video Compositing (assuming images are ready), several hours to a day or two.

3D Model. depends on what I’m modelling. A vehicle will probably take anywhere from 1-3 hours. Architecture also depends on exterior or interior. Several hours. Characters is relatively untouched (allergic) territory for me, so I dunno. 

3D Animation. a semi-complex short will probably take 1 -3 days to piece and render together? (this is assuming the model is rigged and everything is set up, like lighting and environment ) 

Hope this satisfies your curiousity...

Anonymous said: As a curious reader of your webcomic I was wondering why Galvan has white bangs on most of your tumblr works?

It will be explained, don’t worry. You will find out later in the comic! (When I continue it, sigh.)
