Taka or silas ⌖ he/him ⌖ 18 ⌖ transgender ⌖ artist and aspiring falconer
Hello, I'm Taka Silas! I am a japanese american artist. I have a passion for falconry and digital art. I like military tech, wwi, cold war, radios, politics, and being super duper woke. Despite my interest in military I am still anti-war.

a lot of this is outdated now, so i'm going to leave it blank for now.I have been making illustrations since the day I can remember. I have been an artist my entire life.I have moved a lot throughout my life, which has led to my interest and passion in falconry. It all started when I moved from the Bay Area to Fresno, seeing red-tailed hawks make a nest up in a tree in my neighborhood; year after year.I have been queer for at least a decade now, my identity changing as I grew. I am FTM and I believe in T4T.♥ biology, specevo, environments, subtropical rainforests, redwood forests, california coastline,

Here are websites and sources I use while drawing or modeling. They probably wont be helpful but its information I do on a active basis.
What do i watch while drawing?
9 hour long videos like bionicle lore reaction. I currently mostly watch atrioc because he talks about stocks and current politics.
I also watch a lot of northernlion. I often spend HOURS working on art pieces, so I dont watch short form content. Having to click many videos while drawing can not only be distracting, but also detrimental to your patience (like watching reels)
Cool websites which I browse
Wiki Spy a neat little website that posts random pictures from Wikipedia. Cool for graphicsNational Park Map Archive All known maps for the NPS. Very cool, great for studying world building.enjoy dvlsblsh a ton of illustrations and archival illustrations from pop culture magazines.Colossal A cool website which posts artists and their works.The Print Arkive I buy design books from them, who provide cheaper and rare out of print books.
What do i use for sources while modeling or drawing?
I use blender forums while modeling. It will suprise you but the guy with the exact same problem as you a decade ago will help.
drawingwise, I'm largely self taught. If anything look at the techniques your favorite artists use and implement it into your own art. Dont rip off the style though, or youll look like a copycat.I also use pinterest for insparation for character designs, however I dont colorpick like many artists do. I have built in color theory in my brain so I only rarely colorpick an image.my favorite arts(and artists) are PNW indigenous masks, Preston Singletary, ruth asawa, Harry Fonseca
my favorite digital artists include t34_MT, HURT1100FF, focus (@qs75834), zivis, colinarmis
