1. Since 2017
2. This one!
3. This one I think
4. Sorry but no haha
5. I'm a chronic fav and runner
6. No
7. No
8. I like both
9. Not the art itself, but I dislike when artists preemptively put themselves down x)
10. Got nothing, sorry

1. Legitimately do not recall, though I want to say it has been 2 or 3 years? Feels like it could have been
2. Again, do not recall, though believe it was a dragon picture of yours. If I had to hazard a guess, I believe it was the Dragon Statue or the Red Dragon
3. Favourite is hard to choose... but I think it would be between Alchemist and Cyberpunk presently? I also love Dust to Dust, Dragonfly, and At the old watermill a great deal too
4. I'm pretty ace, but I will say Nomax will make me swoon from time to time :P
5. My moods ebb and flow a lot, but I will say that your art has put me into moods for particular genres. Especially with your more cinematic pieces with backgrounds and a world around the characters. your landscapes behind the characters are as much of a draw for me as the characters in some cases.
6. I've only been starting to get back into art, but I could definitely see me using your art as a reference point for studies. I love your attention to anatomy, scale, and balance between lighting and colours in the scenes.
7. I am intending to get back into painting, but space/time/fiscal constraints are slowing that process
8. I want to say both, cause I do love them both, but I think I have to go Hyena's cause I like the chonkiness of them
9. I suppose I would have to say that it feels sparse, but that is likely a result of the internet culture I've been raised in (immediate gratification and expectations of rapidly produced content) and less a criticism on yourself. Artistically, I don't have any dislikes, nor any critiques to be true.
10. For Nomax, I'm curious of seeing him in other settings? I love the aesthetic choice with clothing made thus far, though I do adore seeing character put into other environments and the re-imagining of their attire/profession/characterizations within those spaces. I know it isn't exactly a suggestion towards the design, but I do find that helps me conceptually with characters I'm making.

How long have you been following or been aware of my artwork?
Well I started days ago, like, three or so. I found you by browsing here ^^

What was the first picture you saw of mine? (and if it isn't the same one, which picture made you decide to follow me?)
https://www.weasyl.com/~nomax/submissions/1999286/first-of-its-kind
First of its kind all right

What is your favourite picture of mine?
I honestly haven't checked the whole gallery, but that's the reason I followed =P

Was Nomax (the character) ever part of any of your sexual fantasies? insert eyes emoji
I don't know who that is. [Not yet.]

Has any of my art ever caused action beyond just looking at- and faving it? What i mean by that is like perhaps you got the artists of the amazon book because of that ant picture, perhaps you decided to support a painted dog conservation, or some painting simply made you hop onto wikipedia to dig a little deeper into something.
The window of time has been too short. I'd let you know in the future perhaps?

Has my art ever been helpful to your own artistic journey? (As a study, or my patreon etc.)
I watch a lot of artist just to look at their work and take refference, I'm pretty sure you could help at some point.

Was it perhaps even the cause of you starting to paint?!
Well, no. but you are one of the go-to artist i'd pick for realistic references.

Painted Dogs or hyenas?
Both? I honestly like dogs the most- Hyenas are kinda untrustworthy. (?

What do you -dislike- the most about my art? ( No need to be shy. I'm very skilled at crying myself to sleep.)
I wouldn't know atm. Need to critically observe some more of your art.

Make one suggestion to the character design of Nomax.
So, Nomax is... an awd? Maybe some kind of outfit? The character is good the way he is, but maybe assigning a outfit tendency would give him some kind of... extra?
dunno.

1. Judging by my favorites, since 2016 on FA. It's been too long to actually remember!
2. The first thing faved is https://www.weasyl.com/~nomax/submissions/483851/arios-and-lamia
3. This was memorable https://www.weasyl.com/~nomax/submissions/1061868/a-chance-meeting although, I have a hard time getting this out of my head https://www.weasyl.com/~nomax/submissions/1400279/skylight
4. Well, this was also faved. https://www.weasyl.com/~nomax/submissions/1737752/prep and oh my I missed this :) https://www.weasyl.com/~nomax/submissions/1776748/say-hello
5. No.
6. Not really. Just so you know, What helps me is to find someone who's just 2 levels better than me in art, and then I can think "I could do that, if I just put that line there..." You are 20 levels better than me in art.
7. No.
8. Can I like both? Painted dogs are prettier, and think I was one in a vision where I looked back at myself? but hyenas have all this backstory. If the furry artist bothers to know anything about the real animals, automatically a male hyena is going to be submissive/bottom, and a female hyena is going to be the scariest dominant ever.
9. I love/hate the painterly style. I'd of course love art done with infinite little details, but the broad brushstrokes get the art DONE. I understand the compromise, it's one I'd make myself, especially after suffering through projects that never get completed.
10. Whenever possible, draw body language/expression that let us know what his personality is like. E.G. "say hello" XD I find those kinds of characters more memorable, and attractive. winks I'm really not skilled enough to suggest a change to someone else's fursona's character design. (Currently I'm feeling gay AF and would ask his sexy hips remain forever bare, LOL and it would be a sin for him to put a shirt on, and other potentially bad advice.)

1) How long have you been following or been aware of my artwork?

I have no idea. Unless you were on !Y Galery. I discovered you on FA, because there were the two places I found Furry art in the days.

2) What was the first picture you saw of mine? (and if it isn't the same one, which picture made you decide to follow me?)

Again, I have no idea what the picture would have been, but I would have come across by seeing it on someone else's dash, either as a favorite or a commission they were displaying. the quality of the art is why I would have followed you, AND probably because there was a tiger in your gallery.

3) What is your favourite picture of mine?

That one is easy: OKay, not that easy. it's a toss up between this https://books2read.com/u/boY5jV and this https://books2read.com/u/3LDK7J I'm sorry for linking to my store page for the books, I could not find them among your gallery.

4) Was Nomax (the character) ever part of any of your sexual fantasies? insert eyes emoji

No, I'm sorry to say Nomax never engendered that reaction in me.

5) Has any of my art ever caused action beyond just looking at- and faving it? What i mean by that is like perhaps you got the artists of the amazon book because of that ant picture, perhaps you decided to support a painted dog conservation, or some painting simply made you hop onto wikipedia to dig a little deeper into something.

Well, your art caused me to seek you out so you would do the art for my covers :)

6) Has my art ever been helpful to your own artistic journey? (As a study, or my patreon etc.)

No, I cannot say it was as I don't do visual art.

7) Was it perhaps even the cause of you starting to paint?!

Afraid not :)

8) Painted Dogs or hyenas?

Because I've never had painted dog in my novels, I have to go with Hyena (hyena families are weird--Trembor)

9) What do you -dislike- the most about my art? ( No need to be shy. I'm very skilled at crying myself to sleep.)

what I dislike the most about your art is that you are so talented and popular you are now outside my price range.

1.How long have you been following or been aware of my artwork?
At least 3 years or slightly before I started to upload more frequently here if I remember correctly. Your art has been striking to see on front page.

2. What was the first picture you saw of mine? (and if it isn't the same one, which picture made you decide to follow me?)
Ah, https://www.weasyl.com/~nomax/submissions/1564064/nomax-portrait this one, but I think I faves it elsewhere and followed you cross platform.

3 What is your favourite picture of mine?
It's between https://www.weasyl.com/~nomax/submissions/1783932/spider-s-lair and https://www.weasyl.com/~nomax/submissions/1875654/ant on one hand we have an epic fantasy battle and on the other is a happy little ant.

4 Was Nomax (the character) ever part of any of your sexual fantasies? insert eyes emoji
Nope. He's handsome, but never thought of em that way.

5 Has any of my art ever caused action beyond just looking at- and faving it? What i mean by that is like perhaps you got the artists of the amazon book because of that ant picture, perhaps you decided to support a painted dog conservation, or some painting simply made you hop onto wikipedia to dig a little deeper into something.
The ant one made me think about watching AntsCanada on youtube that day. Since it reminded me of that. Otherwise, I only tend to stare upon the art.

6 Has my art ever been helpful to your own artistic journey? (As a study, or my patreon etc.)
I would say a little bit. The way you paint gives a good look at some things, but since I don't normally paint, but do cel, it's not something I often have brought back in my mind for reference material.

7 Was it perhaps even the cause of you starting to paint?!
Nah. Same reason for that it's some pretty different painting from my own. I have thought how neat it'd be to paint that way, but never did since it's not the way I'm comfortable creating. You and one other artist are in the same layer of "cool art, would like to draw like that. Don't wanna try though, so different."

8 Painted Dogs or hyenas?
Oh. I like how painted dogs bodies are. They're neat to work with drawing. Ah, but if I was gonna have my sona, it'd been a hyena. If it were to choose what to pet, painted dog.

9 What do you -dislike- the most about my art? ( No need to be shy. I'm very skilled at crying myself to sleep.)
This one will be weird. I don't particularly like very humanoid animal people, so even though you draw really good humanoid animal people it's not my reason for watching you. It's solely for the art itself. I like how it looks. It looks like if I licked the art it would be bumpy. Ya don't need to change anything, it's just a theme of interest that I like feral, monster, and beast more.

10 Make one suggestion to the character design of Nomax
There is nothing I ever wanted to see changed from Nomax, though. I don't think I can answer this satisfactorily

1. 2019
2. Probably not the first one I saw but the first I can find in my Favourites: Was ich Liebe What made me follow likely was TAARP No scratch that, I just remembered about Ashes and I think that was both the first and also the one to make me follow
3. Morningdew
4. Not yet ;3
5. Aside from going and sharing your works with others, not really, no
6. No
7. Also no, I don't remember the last time I attempted to draw tbh
8. Painted dogs
9. I got nothing
10. -||-

1) Probably about April 2017. That's the date on the first picture I saved from you here (Medieval Methods, which may not be posted here anymore).

2) Most likely the same as above.

3) looks through saved pictures Hard to pick out just one. "Lounging", "Bathroom Stuff", "Blowmax", and "All Business" are highlights for me.

4) Possibly either from "Blowmax" or (believe it or not) "Armor". >_>

5) The local zoo has some painted dogs, which they name as "African wild dog". I've thought about your pictures when I was at that exhibit before.

6) I only draw very simple sketches and/or make Photoshops, usually for people I know; I am nowhere near the level you are.

7) See 6.

8) Painted Dogs. I understand how their junk works. Hyenas are weird. :D

9) Sometimes the background shows a lot of clone tool. (Example: "Dust to Dust"). Maybe that is a deliberate choice of style, but sometimes I notice it. It doesn't ever seem to be on the main character(s), just on the background.

10) He should wear fewer clothes and stop by my house more often. <_<

1) 5 years now, I think!

2) This one. I frequently tag-search for "king cheetah" on furry art sites, they're still uncommon enough that I can turn up new artists by doing this. Obviously your piece stood out to me immediately!

3) This Panzica portrait was my favorite up until very recently. I noted your inclusion of the whiskers, a detail that so many leave out. Artists sometimes get tripped up by having to put glasses on anthro animal faces (this is something I pay attention to, considering my own character), and I was impressed by how you kept the positioning very natural while still accommodating the non-human aspects of the face. Then your comm for Spots came along and knocked it out of the park! Love the perspective! The rendering is so detailed, especially the head - I'm a big fan of how your animal faces convey expression, even when incorporating elements like humanoid eyebrows, without pushing the face out of the realistic realm.

4) I'm afraid not! This question also leads me to realize I don't know much about Nomax as a character. Of course I've seen him around once or twice, but your gallery is mostly commissions for others. Is there a write-up or character sheet anywhere that we can learn more about Nomax?

5) Not at this time!

6) I'm not an artist

7) See above

8) Sorry, but I gotta give the yeens my love! Female spotted hyenas are way cool.

9) Your art is truly wonderful. The only negative I can think to associate doesn't really have to do with you or your work, but rather that getting a commission is financially out of reach for me. I still very much enjoy looking at the works you create for others.

10) Nomax is your character, not mine, so I don't really have a say!
