FAQ

Journal Entry: Thu Apr 7, 2005, 10:18 AM






I often get a lot of similar questions from people, so...

Here's a little FAQ

:bulletred: = Question
:bulletblue: = Answer

:bulletred: "I have a question... how do you draw the same character over and over and keep her looking the same? if i draw a character, I can never draw it the same"

:bulletblue: Well, I've been drawing my characters for a long time now so I've gotten quite used to their designs, expressions and so on. It was a bit hard in the beginning, but I got used to it. You just keep drawing the same character over and over again to practice.

:bulletred: "Do you draw your comics by hand with pens? They look so...perfect, clean and clear."

:bulletblue: Yes, I draw them by hand. After I've scanned them, I open them in Photoshop and increase the contrast.

:bulletred: "How do you draw your comics?"

:bulletblue: 1. I use a ruler to sketch up the lines for the panels.
2. I sketch the characters and all the action.
3. I ink it all with Staedtler Pigment Liners (sizes 03, 05 and 07) and a Pilot Super Color Marker (black).
4. I use a rubber (eraser) to remove the pencil lines completely.

:bulletred: "Can you draw me?"

:bulletblue: No. I don't do requests. I only do gifts for close friends and commissions..sowwy n___n;

:bulletred: "Will you be my friend?"

:bulletblue: Umm...That is a strange question. Becoming someone's friend is something that just happens. And it has to clash for both parts, you know;) Besides..if I'd befriended everyone who asks me to be their friend here on dA I would have a whole lot of friends..I prefer having few close friends than a hundred friends I barely know...

:bulletred: "Can you please check out my gallery?"

:bulletblue: Please don't ask me to visit your gallery, it's not my intention to be mean but I'll visit your gallery if I feel like it. :3

:bulletred: "Please check out my comics. Can you give me your response and tell me what you think?"

:bulletblue: To be honest, I'm not very good at giving heavy and good critisism, heh. And I am not really the big comic-expert here. I wish I could give some helpful critics and I try my best when I've got time.

:bulletred: "Do you publish your comics?"

:bulletblue: No. At least not yet. But I'm planning to. If only I could find a good publisher that wants to publish them.

:bulletred: "Can I do fanart of your characters?"

:bulletblue: Yes. I appreciate fanart! Feel free to do as much fanart as you like! As long as you give me credit for it. ^___^

:bulletred: "How do you come up with it all?"

:bulletblue: Well, I get inspired by daily happenings and daily life. But often I just feel like expressing myself about things I love, things that irritate me or things I just find really funny.

:bulletred: "Do you ever to plan on making your own website for you comics?"

:bulletblue: Hm. I can't make websites. But I'm planning to gather my strips in a book and have some of my pictures on t-shirts. I'll probably have someone make a website where people can order from, but I'm not sure when this will happen so don't get too big expectations now. Need to make book first and t-shirts and get paypal account..and...and...Yeah.

:bulletred: Will you marry me?


:bulletblue: I don't know you. But..give me my own chocolate factory and I'll consider it=p

:bulletred: "How long do you take to complete one (~6 panel) comic ?"

:bulletblue: It depends on what's happening in the comic and how many characters that are in it.
I realize though, that I don't use so much time to make a strip as I did before. But now it takes me from 2 to 4 hours.

:bulletred: "I was just curious as to how long you have been drawing?"

:bulletblue: I've been drawing since I was a little kid. But I started drawing comics when I was about 15-16 years old.

:bulletred: "Can I make a comic with your characters, Rip for example?"

:bulletblue: I would appreciate if you didn't. I dislike that others are using my characters to make their own comics. But if you have your own comic, you could use some of my characters as guest appearances though.

:bulletred: "Do you really own an all powerful shoelace?"

:bulletblue: Oh yes! :pointr:
[link]

:bulletred:
"I've heard you want to make a book out of your comics which is great because they're great and very funny. Are you planning to make an animated cartoon after that as well?"


:bulletblue: Maybe, but I have to concentrate about the book first. But yeah...Maybe there will be a McMorbid or a McScythe cartoon created in the future.

:bulletred: "If you had a choice, what would you be reincarnated as?
I really would like to know.."


:bulletblue: A duckbill platypus. <3

:bulletred: "I've been watching your comics since I came onto deviant art and I was just wondering where the hell did you get the idea for the shoelace and its talks?"

:bulletblue: Thanks you=) Oh, well it all started about 3 years ago when me and my friend were watching TV or something and I started whipping her with a shoelace, screaming "Obey the powerful shoelace from Hell!"

:bulletred: "I am personally a big fan of your art and my question is: are the people at your school really as dumb as they are in your comics, or are you being nice?"

:bulletblue: I've never really said anything about the people in my school. I've met several people that irritates me, but it's not really from my school though.
And some of those people are as dumb as I make them..really.

:bulletred: " Hi. I love your art and I was wondering where you came up with your style?"

:bulletblue: Well, I am inspired by different comic artists like Roman Dirge, Jhonen Vasquez and so on..also a bit Power Puff-ish actually. I kinda tried to develop my own little style out of it:nod:

:bulletred: " Okay, I have like three-ish questions that I feel need other peoplez opinion besides my puppet friends.
1. Your thought on anime?
2. JTHM- Know him? Hate him? Or don't know him? EXPLAIN!
3.Your favorite personality?"


:bulletblue: Hm..Okay.
1. I love anime! My favorites are One Piece, Death Note, Tsubasa Chronicle, FLCL, Hellsing, Bleach, Azumanga Daioh etc etc.
2. I love JTHM. I think Jhonen Vasquez's work rocks...It's like...If you want creativity: Check him out! :)
3. Err...My favorite personality? That's a weird question:O_o:
I just know I like lazyness..Dunno if that's off the subject..haha:D

:bulletred: "1. Favorite horror movie?
2. Book writer?
3. Favorite ViDeO game?"


:bulletblue: 1. Hmm..It's hard to decide on one specific movie. But I do love Japanese horror movies:XD:
2. J.R.R Tolkien, J.K Rowling, CS Lewis, Neil Gaiman <3
3. Kingdom Hearts! *nods*

:bulletred: "
Those tools that you use? the ';pilot drawing pens' and the 'marker' (?)
I can't seem to find any here, I was just hoping you could show me a picture of how this tools.. so I know what it will look like when i try searching for it again.. is that possible?"


:bulletblue: Yah, ofcourse:

Pilot Drawing Pen
This is a Pilot Drawing Pen.
But I also often use Staedtler Pigment Liners:

The Pilot Super Color Marker I use, looks like this:

:bulletred: "Can I have your permission to put your pictures on my myspace page?"

:bulletblue: Ofcourse! As long as you give me credit, I'm all fine with it. Be sure that the credit is viewable to others, or else I'll probably get a note on Art Theft or something;)
Remember this, to all of you who wants to use my pictures on your page;; CREDIT PLZ.

:bulletred: "Do you consider yourself talented?"

:bulletblue: Hmm...Maybe a little? But I really do wish I had more 'drawing-real-people'-skillZ..or Anime-skillZ ;_;

:bulletred: "Are you emo?"

:bulletblue: :giggle:

:bulletred: Will you ever make a tutorial on how you draw in your style? I just love it.

:bulletblue: If people want one, sure! :D

:bulletred: I need a scanner. Do you have any brands to suggest?

:bulletblue: I had an Agfa thing before, but it died some time ago. After that I've only used a 'hp'. It actually was the cheapest at the electronics-store..but it suits my needs very well^^;

:bulletred: Are any of your comic characters modeled after friends, or do you just come up with them with that fabulous imagination of yours?

:bulletblue: Hmm...I modeled all my oldest characters after friends, but I don't use them anymore..most of the characters I use now are made up. :nod:



Hope that'll be any help to ya:nod:

--------------------------------

Please don't see me as a mean person just because I'm a bit strict about my work or other things.
I am not some haughty bitch trying to manipulate people into liking my comics. Some people like my comics, some don't. That's totally fine with me.


If you have any questions that are not similar to these, just ask and I'll add them to my FAQ. But please do not ask in comments or on my page. I would appreciate if you send a note with the subject "FAQ question" instead:nod:

:XD: That last one is great... How many times have you been asked that? :confused:

I could never make anything I make as perfect as you do... Partly because I still need practice, and because my scanner is CRAP. >_<
