FAQs
Do
you do requests?
I
have done requests in the past for my friends and fellow role-players,
but unless I know you, you'll have to pay for your picture
to be done.
PAY?
How come? How much? What does that get me?
Pay,
yes, pay. If you like my work enough to have your picture
done by me, doesn't that mean something? I do white background
character sheets for $10.00 each and colored background character
sheets for $15.00 each. Pictures come standard 600 pixels
tall by how ever wide it takes. Other sizes can be done, but
have to be requested. Pictures are sent electronically, which
means, I email it to you. If you would like an 8" x 10"
glossy print (signed of course) then you can add $5.00 onto
the price to cover printing and shipping supplies. See more
info under order prints.
I'm
not an Role-Player, but I still want to have to create a piece
of art for me, is that ok?
I
do commission work. I put my character sheets up on my site
because most of my art has been used in that such manner.
If you like my artwork and are interested in commissioning
me for a custom piece, then please, EMAIL
ME for more information.
What
if I'm a non-profit group?
Just
let me know. Non-profit groups can get work done for free
or done for trade (i,e...advertisement, etc).
What
materials do you use?
Well
for starters I usually draw my pictures out in pencil. I like
6h because it is light and erases easily. I also have a selection
of generic markers, pencils , colored pencils and crayons.
For software I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7. I have tried Adobe
Photoshop, and my PSP works just fine for me. For the less
cel-shaded pieces, I use a Aiptek
12000U tablet (Yes, you can get a BIG tablet for a hundred
bucks) with Painter 7.
Will
you critique me if I send you my stuff?
Well
I really don't think that I'm the best person to be doing
that, considering I'm not a pro. I suggest joining the How
to Draw Manga Gallery. There you can share your pictures with
your peers and be critqued by them as well. Check my links
for more information.
Can
we exchange links?
Sure,
email me your site and I'll go visit. I don't mind doing link
exchanges, but I've got to honestly like your site. ^_^
Hey,
where did some of the pictures go?
Like
all websites that are purchased, they have space and bandwidth
limits. I am currently sharing my webspace with three websites.
To save space I only put up the pictures that I really really
liked, while still allowing new ones to be added.

Usage FAQs
Can
I use your pictures?
Well
it depends on how you want to use them.
Well
can I use your pictures to make graphics for my site?
No.
Please do not use any of my pictures, site graphics, ANYTHING
on a website of your own. I am also a freelance web designer
and if you really like my work, then please EMAIL
ME and let me know. I am sure that we can work something
out.
Can
I edit/modify your pictures in anyway?
No.
Editing or modifying another artist's pictures in anyway is
a strict violation of copyright laws. Please do not do so.
Not only is it illegal, it's just plain rude.
Can
I use one or more of your pictures for my rp character?
I
would rather you not. Most of these pictures are of MY personal
characters, and some are even OTHER people's characters that
I have done. My character pictures start at just $10.00...isn't
your most favorite rp character worth ten bucks?
Please...I'll
give you credit, link to you and do all that sorts of stuff...
While
I would honestly not have you use a picture for your character,
there is no way for me to hunt you down and make you stop.
However, if I do come across one of my pictures some where
on the internet and see the web address or my signature edited
out, or anything done to them...I will not be a happy camper
>_<
Can
I use them for a desktop/winamp skin/print them out and hang
them in my room?
That's
okie pokie. Using my pictures for personal use, like as a
desktop is fine. However, making a desktop out of one my pictures
and then putting it up for sale somewhere is not!
Can
I use your pictures for fanart?
If
you want to learn by trying to copy one of my pictures...that's
ok. If you want to say "Hey, I like your art." by
making me a present...that's ok too. However, do not blatantly
rip off my original pieces and claim they are your own to
do whatever you please with...I will eventually find you and
break my foot off in your @$$.
So
overall, what are you trying to say?
As
long as it's for personal private use, you can do what you
like with my pictures, as long as you aren't making a profit
off of them, redistribute/publishing them, posting them online
without giving credit to me, directly linking to my server,
or anything like that. Personal, private use ONLY. If you
really are unsure if what you want to do with one of my pictures
might upset me...then just ask me. Thanks.
