About the Artist
KattoTang is a 33-year-old queer, disabled, humor-loving gryphon fanatic from Pennsylvania. Relocated to New England in 2015, they currently live alone with their cat, Suki, who is the real decision-maker in the household. Along with drawing, they enjoy reading, video games, collecting Pokemon merchandise, travel, and learning (i.e. complaining about) the Dutch language. They're hoping to one day be able to live in the Netherlands with their partners and own many more pets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What tools/programs do you use?
A: I use a medium Wacom Intuos 5 Touch tablet and PaintTool SAI.
Q: Do you only do furry art?
A: No, I don't only do furry art. In fact, I don't even consider myself a furry artist; I'm just an artist that happens to draw a lot of furry stuff nowadays, mainly because that is what is commissioned of me.
Q: Are you comfortable drawing humans?
A: Absolutely!
Q: Can you draw from written descriptions, or do you need a visual reference?
A: I can totally draw from a description alone, however having a reference image to work from is easier, as it cuts out all the guess-work. Which is the reason I charge an extra fee for commission requests with no visual ref.
Q: Do you have a Patreon? Why or why not?
A: As of now, no I don't. I have a lot of health problems that cause my activity to be sporadic, so I don't feel like Patreon is something I can keep up with at this point in time, and prefer to focus my energies on commissions. That said, honestly, I love the idea of using Patreon for crowdfunding, and would love to someday use it to try to fund some comics or something like that!
Q: You've changed the description for the PWYW commissions. Can you explain how they work now?
A: Okay so, previously when I would take PWYW commissions it was really intended for people who wanted inexpensive sketches, as I didn't offer sketches before. I've changed what I offer now, so sketches are just a regular commission type, which kind of rendered the PWYW commissions obsolete. Instead of doing away with them completely, I decided to change it so PWYW commissions are experimental "wing-it" type images. My thoughts behind this would be that clients could choose how much they want to pay, and then I work a certain number of hours relative to the amount paid while trying new styles and techniques as I work. This does mean that the results will likely differ from my normal work, but the benefit is that clients can pay a bit less than they might normally while I get to experiment and improve my skills.
