Creator Spotlight: @chaaistheanswer
Hi everyone! I am Clara, but you can also call me chaa! I am a digital artist based in Auckland, New Zealand, with a bachelor’s degree in Creative Media Production. After graduating from uni, I moved out to pursue my art career and I’ve been a freelance digital artist ever since. I love concept art, especially character design! Creating characters influenced by my love for fantasy is what I live for. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed my art!
And thank you, Tumblr, for this opportunity!
Check out our interview with Clara below!
Did you originally have a background in art? If not, how did you start?
I specialized in art in high school and have a bachelor’s degree in Creative Media Production from Massey University with an animation pathway. For our thesis film, which I worked on with several of my classmates, I took on the role of producer, art director, and concept artist. Our short film was featured in the Wellington Film Festival Terror-Fi in 2020. After graduating, I went on to become a freelance artist, but my goal is to work for the gaming industry as a character concept artist. Ever since I first picked up a pencil, I knew I wanted to become an artist!
Have you ever had an art block? If so, how did you overcome it?
Art block is quite common among artists, and unfortunately, I too have fallen prey to the affliction. I have several ways of overcoming art block: watching movies, playing games, reading, or going out for a drive with my sister. These are just a few things I love to do to help keep my creative juices flowing!
What is one habit you find yourself doing a lot as an artist?
I tend to obsessively research about completely unrelated topics while I draw. I find learning new things helps improve my concept designs, especially in creating backgrounds for my characters.
Over the years as an artist, what were your biggest inspirations behind your creativity?
Video games and anime were my biggest inspirations! Anything with a captivating story that’ll send me to the edge of my seat, and loveable characters. I’m particularly drawn to high and dark fantasy.
How has technology changed the way you approach your work?
Technology has made a huge impact on us artists over the last few years. I used to draw a lot on paper, but since getting a tablet, I find myself searching for the undo and redo buttons and even trying to zoom constantly while I draw on paper. I used to only draw for myself as well, but after posting my art online, I now have an audience to whom I can share my art. Because of this, I am able to earn a living doing what I love by creating illustrations for clients.
What is a recent creative project that you are proud of?
I am very proud of this recent commission I’ve done for a client! Fortunately, the piece turned out exactly how I wanted it to look, and my client was very happy with the result. I am also in the process of working on a Webtoon, which is going as smoothly as I hoped it would be before its re-release!
What advice would you give to younger you about making art that's personal or truthful to your own experiences?
The best advice I would give my younger self is to never hold back! Try not to think about the negatives of creating and sharing art that you believe in. Embrace vulnerability, and don’t be afraid to dig deep into your own emotions and experiences. Always explore, and don’t limit yourself to your own bubble. And most important of all, stay true to yourself! Stay true to your values and beliefs, and never compromise your own authenticity for the sake of pleasing others. Your art is a reflection of you as a person.
Who on Tumblr inspires you and why?
@yuumei-art has been an inspiration to me since my early Deviantart days. I admire how she uses her skills to focus on environmentalism and cyber activism.
@nipuni is another inspiration of mine. I found her when I was in the process of recovering from Dragon Age Solavellan hell. I admire how she manages to capture faces well while also sticking to her style. Her paintings are so beautiful and very pleasing to my eyes!
Thanks for stopping by, Clara! If you haven't seen her Meet the Artist piece, be sure to check it out here. For more of Clara's work, follow her Tumblr, @chaaistheanswer!

Commission Time Delay
Hey all! Just updating you guys about commissions. There will be a huge time delay just cos I've started a new job and it pretty much takes over my mornings and afternoons. At the moment, I'm still trying to finish my current queue. Because of this, I'm only able to produce art during evenings, weekends and public holidays. Really sorry about this guys! I'm trying my best to balance both work and art at the same time! I know I say this a lot, but thank you for being so patient with me! Your support means a lot and I'm happy you're here! 😭🥺
As always if you have any questions feel free to drop me a message!

Mahkah my anxious and self depreciating little druid hagspawn living as a hermit in a forest after he ran away from his hag mother 🥰 My attempt at creating a creature and giving him the most fucked up and uncomfortable backstory because I love giving my characters trauma 🤪
I posted my whole process of creating Mahkah on Patreon

I have two questions to ask you regarding commissions when you get the chance! 1) how far in advance would you be willing to work with a comissioner on the details before getting paid? I'd love to get something from you soon but I wouldn't have the money until sometime next week... so I wasn't sure if I should just wait or not! 2) do you accept links in your description box? When I commission my ocs I like to share info about them to help the artist understand them, and I have things I can share with you that aren't just images, such as a playlist and some fics. Thank you for your time!!
Hiya! Thank you for your questions!
1) Payment happens after the sketch for your order has been approved. So basically I can go as far as providing the sketch for your commission before I accept payments. My clients are free to provide me feedback on the sketch before that, of course!
I'm also somewhat flexible with payments as long as the invoice is paid within two weeks of receiving it. Just let me know and I can easily change the due date for the Paypal invoice!
2) Yes, I accept links! More info about your characters really helps me!
