Hey there, love the rain boots picture you did a while ago. Rain boots are the best things to wear aren't they?

yeah of course!

[ask-hydrowing]

hope your doing pretty good these days! :D

I am good! Thank you! Hope you're doing well too!

Did you change accounts or do you still have your drawing account? I love the way you draw feet and paws btw. 🥺👉👈🐾💕

All of your characters come out super cute.

Thank you, I am very happy to hear that!

No, I have not changed my account. Sorry, I have been busy lately, so no new artwork. 😂

What does the prefix of ur name mean? curious since it seems like kinda unrelated to your sonas?

Because I am water type!

I use the name “Wing” online. It is too short and common to register as an ID, so I added the prefix.

One reason is that when I was learning HTML and Javascript years ago, I wrote a little web page that tested what element type you were. The result I tested with it was water.

The other reason is the prefix was inspired by the HydrogenAudio website. I thought it was cool.

For a cool artist, you're really uncoordinated and prone to stabbing and cutting yourself on accident.

I don't think there is any logical relationship between the two things though.

how would you depict spats on a black cat? would you have to change the color?

Good question. I can think of a few ways to do this:

Distinguish by form and highlight color.

Distinguish by hue.

Distinguish by texture.

But I'm not very good at drawing texture sorry.

i read you're 40 and i want to give you 40 kisses as hbd gift

omg thank you! XD

[ask-hydrowing]

Is it true that you’re 40 now? If so, happy birthday! You’re art is amazing for your age. Most people at their 40’s abandon art. Stay strong!

Yes I am 40 years old now. Thank you so much for this!

I think drawing is a great way of expressing myself. I will continue to explore on the road of creation.

What is the artwork you are most proud of?

Not a single artwork. It’s a physical book of doujinshi I created back in 2016. I spent a lot of time in it.

You can read the first episode on DA: https://www.deviantart.com/hydrowing/gallery/41724977/01-reeve-the-dream-trickster

The physical book contains revised first episode, second episode and extras. It’s Chinese only.

Sadly this story was discontinued. Neither my script nor my artwork can satisfy myself. Hopefully in the future I can find the motivation and time to continue it.

Where can I get your plushies?

I bought them online years ago.

It seems that the Pokémon Center online store no longer sells Jangmo-o plushes. 😟

What sorts of soup do you like

Beef noodle soup… well we don’t call it soup. It’s noodle! NOODLE! 😆

OK speaking of soup, I like cuttlefish roe soup and hot and sour soup. Both sour and hot (white pepper). Yummy! Feel warm inside after drinking it.

I think cream mushroom soup in western food is also very good.

[ask-hydrowing]

Opinions on plushies?

baby

[ask-hydrowing]

What sorts of books do you like to read when you do?

Mostly manga, science fiction and natural science.

I like works of these authors the most:

SF: Isaac Asimov, Douglas Adams, Liu Cixin. If you haven’t read sci-fi from China, I highly recommend Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem trilogy.

Manga: Togashi Yoshihiro, Kui Ryōko

Currently I am reading Tezuka Osamu’s Phoenix (火の鳥, Hi no Tori, “bird of fire”)

what about vanilla chocolate. or just normal brown chocolate as a drink?

Just chocolate with milk. Actually I never tried vanilla chocolate drink before. The vanilla seasoning is very uncommon here. I don't remember them ever being sold in the store. But it should be no difficulty to buy online. Maybe I can give it a try!

What are your favorite activities you like do besides drawing?

Watching animes, listening to music, reading books, playing video games sometimes…

My hobbies are too common!! and indoorsy 😂

[ask-hydrowing]

do you drink coffee? if so, how do you like it?

Nope. I feel sick after drinking coffee. same for canned coffee and milk tea. Maybe I am too sensitive to caffeine.

I prefer coconut milk or chocolate drink. 🥤✨
