Facebook lots of personal ramblings, funny stuff and silliness, plus an unhealthy dose of links to Dragon Age word porn ________________________ tumblr Dragon Age 2 visual porn, also kittens, naked men, and funny gifs galore, which means it's a typical tumblr account ________________________ AO3 a couple of Dragon Age 2 stories, with a side of SW:TOR for flavor, sadly, all but one unfinished ________________________ FFnet a single, very old WoW fanfiction that is still close to my heart somehow ________________________ LiveJournal an attempt at a gaming blog, failed due to lack of time to actually game and then write proper reviews |
       Over the past few months I have been getting more and more notes/comments/emails asking me all kinds of questions. I tried to answer them all as thoroughly as possible, but eventually it began taking more time than it was worth, so - stealing the idea from some other artists on the site - I decided to put together this FAQ. Hope it helps. --- Why don't you create your own models instead of using Poser? Read here: [link] --- What tools do you use? Poser Pro 2010, Vue, Photoshop CS3, Wacom Inutos4 Medium. --- How much experience do you have? I'm basically a self-taught artist. Learning the tricks of the trade since 2005. --- Why do you watermark your art? It's not that I want to do that, I simply have no choice - my art is not public domain and the only reasonable way to stop thieves from taking my images and re-posting/selling them as their own is to slap a watermark across each and every single one. --- Can I find your art on other website galleries? No, dA is the only place where I display my images and if you find any of them elsewhere, please report it to me ASAP. --- Can I use your art for ... (insert anything here)? Not without my written permission. In other words - ASK FIRST, preferably in a note. Also, see below. --- Can I print your art out for personal use? It's not that I can stop you from doing that, but bear in mind that the images in my gallery are low dpi/low quality, watermarked versions of the original art, so they are not suitable for print. --- Why so few of your works are available as dA prints? If you want to do me the honor and buy a print of my image - simply click the 'request as print' button and I will make it available as soon as possible. --- May I use your art for non-profit work like banners, sparkles, tubing, signatures or animations, layouts? Absolutely not. My work is copyrighted and is not public domain. Sorry. --- Why didn't you reply to my comment? I get a lot of comments daily, it's very hard to keep up, especially when I get swamped at work, which happens quite often, sadly. I do my best to always reply to meaningful comments and any technical questions about my art, however. --- Why do you turn critiques off? I create art for my personal fun, not for critical acclaim. --- Have you ever received a Daily Deviation feature? Yes, for:    --- Can you do me a fanart of...(insert anything here)? In most cases - no. I very rarely do fanart because I dislike using concepts I do not own, it puts too many limitations on me as an artist. --- Can you please watch me? Why should I? If only to increase the number in your statistics then the answer is no. --- Would you like to join my contest? As a rule, I avoid contests because of the deadlines and limitations that come with them, so my answer will most probably be "no". Sorry. --- Do you do erotic art? Yes. I'm kinda famous for my troll porn, too. --- "O'haaaii! I'd like a cake/llama/whatever badge, can you give me one?" I ignore and immediately hide comments like that. Don't spam, please. Also, read here: [link] --- Do you play video games? You bet. Anything except shooters and RTS is fine by me, including MMOs. --- Do you roleplay online? I don't roleplay by default. I never really could get into that, it seems totally not my cup of tea, so I'm sorry, the answer is: no. --- Biggest pet peeve? Here on dA? That would be commenting on something in my gallery only to ask me to visit your gallery. Also, read here: [link] --- Can I have your aim? MSN? YIM? Nope. I value both my privacy and my spare time, so I only talk to a few people via IMs, sorry. Feel free to add me on Facebook or tumblr, though, all the links are provided above. Just make sure to introduce yourself properly so that I know who you are. More questions? Ask nicely and I shall answer. |
