Frequently Asked Questions
Artwork
- What do you use to draw?
I'm primarily a digital artist so I use the following: iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, Procreate (app), and Clip Studio Paint (app).
- Do you do requests/art trades? / Draw me [X]!
Maybe, but don't expect me to say "yes" every time. It all depends on my mood.
- Do you do commissions? / You should sell your work!
No thanks, I draw as a hobby and I'm not looking to profit off my work at this time. I'm flattered by the offer though!
- Can I use your work for my project? I'll credit you!
A lot of my work is rather personal so I rather you not use it, even when credit is provided. You can take inspiration from my work, but please don't use it for your own purposes.
- You should share your work on [X], I'm sure you'll get lots of views and followers!
I've tried many times and I rather not be obsessed with trying to get a following, especially since this is a hobby of mine.
- Do you stream? You should stream your work!
At the moment, I do not have the proper equipment to stream efficiently. I may consider streaming in the future, but not at this time.
- Can you please check out my work? / Can you critique my work?
I may consider checking out your work and commenting on it. However, I don't feel it is my place to offer critiques, since I'm not a professional artist.
- How long have you been drawing? Can we see some of your older work?
I've been drawing since I was in elementary school, so around...1996-98? I started sharing my work online in 2002-03. I don't keep a lot of my older work, but if I ever come across it and anyone is interested, I might dedicate a webpage to that.
Personal
- What is "roxalaney"?
It's a blend of my online persona/alias, Roxanne Delaney.
- Why did you make this website?
I'm a very sentimental person and have been missing the early days of the Internet, especially now when social media has made things stale and kinda lifeless. I want a little space to call my own that isn't influenced by algorithims and the like.
- Can I talk to you/be your friend?
I have a chatbox for a reason, don't be shy! Or, if you prefer more one-on-one interactions, I use Telegram and Discord. As long as you make an effort to chat with me, you have a chance at being my friend.
- Are you on [insert social media site]? Why or why not?
The sites I mainly use are to share my work elsewhere on the Internet. I used to think I had to be on almost every site to keep up with friends and whatnot. Unfortunately, that overwhelmed me and kept me from enjoying other things in my life. I decided to limit my usage to only the sites on my homepage. If you see my username on other sites, they are more than likely inactive and I can't access the account or delete it for some reason.
- Show me proof that you have [X], otherwise it's not valid (or you're lying)!
I am not obligated to share sensitive and personal documentation with strangers on the Internet. I will always be open and honest about my experiences, but if you still think I'm faking for attention, then that's on you.
- Do you roleplay (RP)? I would love to RP with your characters!
Sadly, I have to decline the offers. I don't roleplay as much as I used to. While I love coming up with ideas, it's very difficult for me to continue RPing in the long term.
- I don't think you should identify as [X], it's immoral and not right!
If I'm not hurting myself or anyone else, then what's the problem? I will not be tolerating this kind of hateful nonsense; go to another corner of the Internet and leave me be.
- What do you mean you have 2 partners? Isn't that cheating?
It's not cheating if everyone is in agreement of what's established.
- You're polyamorous, would you like to date me? / Let's hook up!
No thanks, I am not looking to expand my polycule at this time. Please don't try to befriend me in the hopes of hooking up with me later.
- Why do you hate being called Megan/Meghan?
I simply do not like how some people assume that's my name, even if I tell them my name is Morgan. I don't mind other name hiccups, but I really despise that name in particular.
