* About me + FAQs *

Especially to those people who keeps asking me questions
over and over, so rather than typing it over again i just decided
to make a journal of this common questions i get.

About me
My name is Kirk Quilaquil (pronouns as kill-a-kill), 19 and i'm a college student
studying degree in animation. I'm an average asian dude who likes art and music, and
spend most of my time at home doing hobbies. In public/RL, i'm a shy guy who doesn't talk
much, i'm a quiet person who observes a lot. I'm unpredictable, simple dude. I can be
childish and immature too, especially when i get hyper or in the mood to do funny stuff.

Where did you get your username Ninjatic?
In highschool, my friends used to call me ninja because i have few cool tricks especially
martial art tricks because i did 'taekwondo' before. They sometimes call me son of Jet Li
or Brother of Bruce Lee, yeah funny i know.
Also when i'm in a group of friends i sometimes wander off without telling them, so they sometimes think that i just disappear instantly, then reappear at some point. They think i'm a ninja or ninjatic, even though i'm not. So that's where i get my username Ninjatic because my friends thinks
i'm a ninja lol.

How long does it take you to paint CG?
Mostly around 3-4 hours or more depending on the picture and spare time i have, i don't really set a time when i paint coz to be honest i get bored eventually, so i paint on and off. If i'm serious, it could take around 8 hours or more.
