Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

Where'd you learn to draw?

A:

I taught myself. I never took an actual class. Yes, I know there are some things wrong with my art, but I only get better as I progress. I don't think any class can improve that.

Q:

Do you do commissions? How much do they cost?

A:

Yes, I do commissions. It's $20 for the first character and $10 for every character after. The first two extra limbs (wings, arms, etc) are free, but if you have wings, a tail, extra arms, extra heads, etc I do reserve the right to charge $5 per extra pair of limbs (it does take up a lot of extra time and ink.) I will e-mail you a sketch to make sure it looks right before inking the picture. It's on card-stock quality paper and I will mail you the original. (Due to lack of payment from several people, I have decided that payment will be required before the commission is done.)

Q:

What programs do you use to colour?

A:

MS Paint. That's right, the crappy piece of 'art software' that comes with the computer. I occassionally use GIMP to shade...but I'm not very good with it. I do have the patience to do the shading as I did here in Paint. Sorry it wasn't something more special. I can't give any tips that a 5 year old couldn't tell you about colouring.

Life for Death

Q:

Aren't Hades and Pluto the same person?

A:

Indeed they are. In mythology. In my comic, they're actually twins. I wanted to keep a similarity to mythology, but I also wanted them to be separate people. Many different groups regard twins as having a close bond that they might be the same person, so I went with that mythos to provide Hades and Pluto with their own separate self.

Q:

Why do Kerri and Kimmi look so much alike?

A:

Hah. I'm not answering that one, yet. But there is a reason. It's actually not as obvious that they look alike in colour. But the original B&W version, they really did. And I got this questions a lot more then.

The old version:

Q:

Why does Kimmi ask about Kerri's hair? Isn't white hair normal in manga?

A:

Yes, usually. But in my comic blue, green, pink and other such nonsense hair colours aren't natural. White is a natural colour, but only for older people or albinos, usually.
