What program(s) do you use?
I mainly use Procreate for the iPad! I use Clip Studio Paint for the iPad as well for DCRC work and other additional features that Procreate does not have.What brushes do you use?
They change so often that I can't give you a solid answer! i do have a link to a couple of brushes on dropbox here which I use pretty often.What tablet do you use?
I use the 4th gen iPad Pro 12.9" display. I have been drawing with an iPad pro as my main tablet since 2015 when they released. If you intend to draw for personal use, I think it is a great financial alternative compared to other major digital display tablets on the market. It's not ideal for professional use, but art is a hobby for me!Are you open for freelance work?
It really depends on the project! I work my IRL job fulltime, so if I take any freelance work, I will need to be passionate about it. Please DM me on Twitter if you have me in mind for something. I would love to hear the pitch and let you know if I'm interested!Can I draw your OCs?
Yes PLEASE!!! I would be the happiest person on the planet if you do. Please tag me in it as well so i can see it!Are your comms open?
Please check my Ko-fi, which will have any available slots open if they are! I will also post here on my Carrd with any updated information on commission status in the commissions tab.Do you do art trades?
Sometimes, but for mutuals only! If we're mutuals and you're interested in an art trade, shoot me a DM on Twitter! If I have time, I'll let you know!Do you do custom character designs?
I no longer offer custom character designs. Unfortunately, I've had too many issues in the past with scammers to continue that business. Please do not ask about custom characters! I can, however, help redesign or design outfits a preexisting character, but I do it very rarely.How do you draw (X)?
I wish I could tell you! I'm completely self taught, I genuinely have no idea how I do half the things I do, or how I even learned. I have a few tutorials strewn out that I'll link here:
simple pose tutorial
pose tutorial step by step

TERMS OF SERVICE
ADOPTS
1. GENERAL
Upon purchasing an adopt from me, you are free to do just about anything with the design thereafter, within reason. Please read through these rules for full disclosure before you buy!
When purchasing an adopt, you maintain all rights to the character, but I reserve the rights to the original artwork and design. (This means you may NOT profit off of the original adopt artwork, but you may profit off of new artwork you make of the character's design for the purpose of merch, etc.)
If you make edits to the design, I still hold partial credit for the original design. You are still free to edit and adapt the design as you'd like to! (Drawing over the art, changing the gender, body type, color, etc. are all fair game.)
Do not claim the design as your own work.
You may freely trade or gift the adopt, but you cannot resell without notifying me beforehand via Discord (@ Spruik). I am willing to discuss the terms of resale, but it cannot be done without my explicit permission. (This is a precaution I need to take to deter scammers.)
If the adopt is being purchased to use in a large-scale project (such as a form of media that can be profited from through a studio), please contact me to further discuss commercial licensing rights and royalties, if applicable.
I do not condone the use of my adopts in any hateful, racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. artworks and will not be held accountable if they are used as such.
All sales are final! I do not do refunds and will not buy back a design.
Future credit (after uploading publicly online via Toyhouse/etc. for example) is not necessary, but appreciated.
2. OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER
You may trade and gift the design at your own discretion.
Reselling any design I have created is only allowed with my explicit knowledge and permission. I reserve the right to refuse any request to resell if I see fit. Please note: you may not resell any of my designs for a greater amount than what it was originally purchased for.
I am not responsible for settling future ownership disputes between two parties after the adopt has left me.
Co-ownership is allowed.
If the adopt is obtained via trade and not purchased with currency, it can only be traded or gifted. Reselling the design is not up for discussion.
I will not revoke ownership of adopts unless payment has not been received or has been charged back. If my terms of service have been broken, you will be blacklisted from future purchasing.

WHAT IS RE:GUARD?
RE:Guard is an original 18+ BL sci-fi webcomic created by Ciro and Hallie. It's an ongoing work in progress! We plan to have opportunities for collaborative storytelling with other artists and writers.
Story is not yet accessible to read, but we have been working on this for 2+ years and love to talk about our characters. Please feel free to ask us questions!
LOGLINE
In Cazir, your memories donโt belong to you.
Every citizen carries a recortex phial: a device that stores memories, regulates behavior, and keeps the city running. Powered by cytosilk, a strange liquid organism capable of processing far more than anyone understands, the system promises safety at the cost of privacy.
Haze wakes up with no memories.
His instincts remember things he doesnโt.ย He's unsuccessfully rehabilitating to recover what was lost.
Then he meets Ais Enantiom, a brilliant and reckless phial hacker who seems far too interested in helping him remember.
As Haze searches for answers, he finds himself drawn deeper into Aisโs world, and closer to something neither of them is prepared to uncover.
As the mystery of himself unwinds, Haze begins to wonder:
What happened to him?
Why was he erased?
And why does being around Ais feel strangely familiar?

AIS
"If I can understand it, I can probably break it."
BIO
Ais is a "freelance" cytosilk researcher and illegal recortex tech working out of Caudra. He cracks phials, edits memory data, and helps people mess with their own memories. He knows exactly how illegal and potentially dangerous it all is. He just doesnโt seem particularly interested in stopping.
PERSONALITY
Ais is eccentric, sarcastic, and difficult to read. He always seems relaxed, but his head is usually somewhere else. He says vulgar things with an innocent smile, goes off on random tangents, and notices things other people donโt. Heโs smart and confident without needing to show off. He has an affinity for puzzles that challenge him and foods with unique textures.
He can be charming, playful, or surprisingly cold depending on the situation. But most of the time, heโs just quietly overthinking everything.ENTP - 8w7 - Sanguine Choleric - 847 - ILE - Ne-Ti
