A Little Bit About Me
I go by a couple usernames online: qtbeans and radnik. Radnik came first when I was 15, and it's a combination of the first three letters of my last name and the first three letters of my first name. Qtbeans came later in 2021. The qt is just cutie! Beans because I love all kinds of beans, but specifically baked beans and kitty toe beans.

While I haven't stopped drawing since I was 3, I've taken many breaks. I started with crayons, colored & graphite pencils and markers, not really exploring past that until high school. I discovered I loved watercolor, whether they came in gel, liquid, pans, pencils or sticks. Between high school and through college I tried charcoal, acrylic & oil paint, COPIC & other alcohol-based markers, ZIG brush pens, India & Sumi ink, and soft & hard pastels (like Nupastels, which I ended up loving soo much).

Around 2014, I started drawing digitally with a Wacom bamboo tablet and used Adobe photoshop. It was a nightmare to get used to, but I loved the results. Because I wasn't careful enough, I got too many migraines and didn't touch digital art again for 9 years. My brother let me use his Gaomon tablet a couple years ago and I haven't really stopped drawing digitally since, but there's still so much I've yet to learn. I use Krita now!

My Lil' Babies

Abbey
Abbey-Dabbey, Abba-Dabba-Doobey
Born: March 2016
A tiny toddler wearing a yorkie costume. I swear the expressions she makes and her body language are uncanny sometimes. She's my best friend, she's my pal. She's my homegirl, my rotten soldier. My sweet cheese, my good time gal.
Rainbow Bridge Babies

Kittyboy c.1998-2006
My first pet! He came to us when I was 4. Originally 'Kittygirl', until we saw him grooming himself one day... I put this poor boy through hell as a child. Dress-up, spoon-feeding, the works.
Lisa c.2001-2003
We got Lisa from a pet store while we had Kittyboy, but we didn't get to keep her as long. We had to rehome her after a traumatic reaction to the dog we were pet-sitting getting a new haircut. She was fairly sassy and liked her independence.
Max 11/08-3/17
Our first dog! Max was given to us by a family friend. He was very spunky, talkative without barking, and trotted with pride. His little nubby was his cutest feature.
Molly 11/08-10/22
Max's sister! She was given to us by the same family friend after they moved away. She was already quite old by then, so we happily took her in. She was also spunky, and chuffed and sneezed whenever she was happy.
Tinkerbell 5/03-4/22
My precious angel baby who got me through most everything in life. She was a barn kitten and her spiciness was undeniable. In her golden years she became the clingiest, sweetest cat I've ever known.
Beans 5/22-9/22
My devious little man... Beans developed FLUTD from stress after meeting a new dog. I loved him as much as I could while I had him. He was a chaotic goblin during the day, but when it was bedtime, he melted into an inseperable cuddlebug.
*Two of my babies reacted negatively to change revolving around dogs. I do not blame dogs for this, but my lack of knowledge at the time. I would've done everything differently now, but I can only do better for my future babies.
