Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do you do commissions?

Let's get this out of the way first. Not right now, and not in the forseeable future. Why? Because honestly, when it comes to drawing, I have found I work better with what pops out of my head. With my hectic schedule on top of that, it just becomes easier to spend my free time drawing what I want, GTS or non-GTS. When I did try commissions, I found that real-life was really in the way, and because of that, I failed a few people, for which I am very sorry for. So, in short, not right now. I am not ruling it out ever, but it is very unlikely.

Do you take requests?

Second most asked question. I take what I call "suggestions" now. Requests is a term that has become known as a free commission. Welp, I don't work that way. Again, with my busy life, I work on my own terms -- that is the short and long of it. So no requests. I will always take suggestions, and if I end up using a really good idea, I will give credit for that suggestion, no problem. So email with suggestions if you have some nice ones.

What do you use to draw?

Basically a pencil and paper. I have continued to get comfortable with my tablet. I have used it for six years now, and still find the paper and pencil, with friction it brings, making me more comfortable. So, those two things, my tablet, Micron pens for manual inking, Photoshop for coloring and digital inking, and also now drawing. Illustrator sometimes for smooth long vector lines. Basically that is it. When I say pencil, I also have never become comfortable with mechanical pencils, which will negate me from drawing 'true' anime, but I was really never into doing that anyways, so oh well. I draw with the whole gamut range of pencils, but I prefer 6H for sketching, and then moving up into Bs for harder outlines if I plan to go that far, which I rarely do. I usually upload now to the computer and finish it off there if I am happy enough with a sketch. I am not too deep, and pretty rustic on my techniques. I learn tricks from people and basically use bargain bins tools to adapt them to my uses. Paper, is anything. I sketch on anything. Recently I have liked my grocery list -_-. Sketching is so important, but so overlooked. Most budding artists want to be able to create a finished drawing from anything they put down on paper, which simply does not happen. And if you do that, not only will you sketch less, and thus draw less and not improve, but you will have lower quality finished works -- that is just the basic truth.

Aw, but I want to pay for a drawing!

Yeah, I get this too. And I am flattered. Really. But I will not be able to come through with you. Also I have found that I hate dealing with "clients". Sigh, that does not mean I don't like people. But I worked in the biz, and also doing GTS commissions, and I found my ideas or edits ended up being more creative (sorry, that is not boasting, that is simple truth!), and yet the edits that naturally came because of my style or the fact that it flowed better would be turned down because clients had an idea of what they wanted no matter what. Yes, I know that is the biz, but that is not something I wish to be a part of right now. I like creative freedom. And I work SO much better without strings attached. If I can find a 'patron' that harkens back to the old Renaissance days and just pays me to create whatever comes out of my head, then we can talk. Seriously, email me if you want to hire me as a lifetime Michelangelo, that would be my dream.

What do you draw/like?

I made basically a GTS life story here that outlines that fairly well. But basically, I love huge sizes, I love huge diferences in sizes. I love tummies, thighs, breasts, redheads, Asians, freckles, and lingerie (nice frilly bras are keen!) I am not into crush, feet, or hardcore stuff. So I will not being drawing any of that anytime soon.
