Hi I'm DigitalScratch (Digi for short.) I'm a hobby artist who draws anime for fun.
I love drawing fanart and selling my art at anime conventions. 99% of my posted work is fanart, but I am hoping I can post my original work in the future.
I've been on hiatus from social media due to personal issues, but I still continue to make art to this day. I hopefully will have the mental strength to make my grand return to social media soon.
Quick note: I actually don't spend a lot of time online. When I'm not making or practicing art, I'm focusing on family, graduate school and internships. So if you message me, even if it's just a compliment, it will take me forever to reply back. I'm not ghosting, I really am just that occupied!
But I really do appreciate every kind word and constructive criticism that I receive! It helps remind me that people do care about what I do.

FAQ
I am actually pretty lenient when it comes to sharing my artwork. The only thing I am against is REPRODUCTION and REPRINTING. This means blatantly plagiarizing my artwork and making merchandise of my artwork without my consent.
I print, produce, and sell all merchandise of my artwork myself. I have not authorized any third-party sellers to do it for me.
If you find that someone is printing my artwork or putting it on some merchandise (mousepads/mugs/keychains/etc.) please inform me through the contact page.
(1) Can I Repost Your Artwork?
I'm ONLY OK with reposting my artwork on Instagram. All I ask is that you tag me @digitalscratch. I don't allow it on platforms like Twitter and Tumblr, because you can just retweet/reblog my artwork there.
(2) Can I Dub Your Comics?
I love it when people dub my comics. You're welcome to do it! Just give me credit by including my artist name in the video and a link to one of my art blogs in the description. Also, send me a link when it's done!
(3) Can I Translate Your Comics?
If you'd like to translate my comics to other languages, please send me an e-mail of where you'd be posting it. Please don't remove any watermarks and credit me accordingly. Also, include a link to one of my art blogs.
(4) Can I Request Art?
No. I used to do a lot of requested artwork in the past, but eventually I realized I was doing free artwork for very little in return. As much as I like making people happy with my art, I need to start prioritizing my well-being first. From now on, if you'd like me to draw something for you then you will have to commission me. (5) Can I Commission Art?
Yes, but only when I am open for them. I will post announcements on my social media and include a link to a Google Forms. More information about my pricing and options will be announced in the future. Thanks for being patient :)
