questions i get asked often enough that i thought it might be easier to compile them here. if there's a burning question you have that isn't answered here, feel free to shoot me an e-mail at wackywizardtower at proton.me.
Q - why did you change the name and theming from webheaven to webforest?
A - the short answer is that i got older and my tastes changed. the slightly longer answer is that webheaven was based solely on things i enjoyed as a kid. it was fun for a while, but it became tiresome and boring to work on. the self i was putting forward wasn't a genuine reflection of who i am as a person now. i'm not very energetic and i like green things - i wanted the updated site to reflect who i am right now. maybe a few years down the line it'll change again.
still, i'm sorry for all the broken links. i don't imagine it'll change again until i start paying for a real domain.

Q - are your site assets free to use?
A - a lot of the assets are my own art, personally drawn by myself for this website, so please don't use those for your own website. if it's got a weird anime-western-mashup style and textured linework, it's probably my handiwork. unless specified otherwise, please don't go taking these for yourself.
that being said, there are a lot of assets on this site that i didn't make, and so i have no qualms about you using those. these are usually taken from video games, movies, free stock photo sites, or free pixel graphic sites. if you're unsure, or want a more specific answer, you're always welcome to reach out and ask.
tl;dr - please don't use the assets i made unless otherwise specified - but i use free graphics, too, so feel free to use those.

Q - can we be friends?
A - also a hard maybe. i'm not very sociable, but you are welcome to say hello and strike up a conversation if you're interested in me as a person. if we have anything in common, who knows what might come out of that?

Q - do you take art commissions?
A - unfortunately, i almost never open up commissions to the public these days, i don't have a lot of energy or time thanks to my job and personal projects. that being said, if you're dead-set on commissioning me, you are always welcome to ask via e-mail - i am not immune to occasional bribery.

Q - who are the characters and critters on your site?
A - the site mascots are just my own characters! they should all have (planned) profiles on the characters page.
the freaks in this page's header are juno and ryker, the main characters of my webcomic clipped wings.
