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.
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 befriending me.
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 doing other things in my life. I decided to limit my usage to only the sites listed in my contact info. 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. I do use Instagram and TikTok, but more for local/personal friends as I don't really post much these days.
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.
