GDM Username: moonstars

Name/Nickname:

Developer, Asset Creator or are you a bit of both?:   
 
Asset Creator but occassionally I also develop apps.
 
Full Time, Part Time or Hobby?: 
 
Freelancer full time.
 
How long have you been doing this?: 

Sice 2017 so approximately 7-8 years.
 
What made you become a dev/artist?: 
 
Dropped out of college.

Favourite software/tools to use?:  
 
Just recently I unsubscribed of all Adobe apps. But it would have been llustrator probably as number 1. Photoshop number 2, and Aftereffects as number 3 and then Spine for game animation and Rive for web and UI animation. 

For pixel art I use a software called Pyxel. And since I no longer use Adobe I am using replacement apps such as Krita, Affinity and Davinci Resolve.

What’s one tip you would give to someone starting out?:   
 
Practice every day. Master you art/animation.

How do you promote your work (games or assets)?:  
 
Mainly through the asset store itself. Unfortunately I couldn't build up much of a social media following.

What project are you working on now?:  
 
I have a road map for myself. By end of year I want to publish 100 assets. I have 32 as of now. If you want to know what I'm literally working right now that is a bomber enemy character in the art style of 1920s Disney. Also called rubberhose characters, much like Cuphead

Any completed projects/work you want to promote?:

And finally, favourite game ever & why?:

Gothic 2. It was a very immersive RPG game and honestly I could not find the same amount of fun and immersion in any other RPG game up to today.
