Making this F.A.Q. since people have been asking me a lot of questions lately. Hopefully this answers any of your questions, and if there's something you want to know but isn't in this journal, feel free to ask in the comments.
- - - ART RELATED - - -
• What program do you use?
Paint Tool SAI all the way.
• What tablet do you use?
Bamboo Capture Pen & Touch.
• How long have you been drawing? How old are you?
I've been into drawing all my life, but I started taking drawing seriously around 2003. And as for my age, I'm 17.
• How long does it take you to finish a piece?
A lot. It depends on the complexity, but it's always a lot. I'm very perfectionist with my drawings, so I always spend lots of time correcting tiny mistakes that only I see. That slows me down a bunch.
• Do you take request/art trades?
If I'm currently taking request/art trades, I'll say so in a journal. Please don't ask about them if I don't have an open journal taking them.
• Can I re-post/use your art in another website/tumblr/facebook/etc?
You are free to post or use my art anywhere you want as long as you give me the proper credit. A visible link to my deviantart would be enough. You are NOT allowed to use my art for commercial use though (this also includes using my art for banners or promotions of your online shop).
• Did you study art anywhere?
No, I'm 100% self-taught. I'd love to do some art courses, but I have to complete my senior year of high school first.
- - - PERSONAL - - -
• What's your first language?
My first language is English.
• Where do you live?
Arizona. United States.
• Do you want to be my friend?
Please don't ask this. I have a hard time replying to these comments because I don't want to sound rude, but friendship is not something you simply decide. But I like chatting with people, so feel free to drop me a comment/note so we can talk and possibly become friends in the future!
• Favorite anime?
My top favorites are Inuyasha, Ouran Highschool Host Club, Black Butler, Attack On Titan, Sailor Moon, Hetalia, and Rosario X Vampire.
• Can I draw your OCs?
No need to ask me! I love seeing my OCs drawn by other people. Just don't forget to let me know when you submit so I can see it and favorite it!
How to use gallery folder icons: Go to your gallery Click on a folder Click on "Folder Options" Then go to "Icon" and upload the icons I provide you with.
For the people that have commissioned me for art that ISN'T animated icons, I've been developing a new style, with eyes and new shading techniques. I hope this isn't bad news to anyone, haha. The three newest examples would be these: I SUCK AT ART STOP COMMISSIONING ME AND COMMISSION HEFFER OR SOMETHING
Big projects in progress
Projects with Soleyne (ordered by priority)
We're creating folders, bookmarks and posters for an upcoming convention in November. The art will be of Five Nights at Freddy's.
I'm currently working on pages (including extras and actual pages) of a manga I created, Kat and Company. It started with two MMD models of mine. It's a one-volume manga, and we're hoping to publish it by 2016. Soleyne is helping me put my ideas on paper. We're in the process of making pages of a coloring book of our characters (I think I'll just provide the ideas).
RPG Game project with LuciferSempai
I'm in the middle of creating a pixel RPG game with my friend CorpseXIII of our characters going into the dimensional world of fantasy television, and they have to go through 8 environments and collect keys to escape.
