.:FAQ:.

Okay, this is just an overview about me and how I draw and write. I do this that aren't what others do. Here we go!

DRAWING
Sketching: I usually sketch on paper first, but it depends!
Programs: Corel Painter Essentials 3
Tablet: Yes, Bamboo!
References: I only use them if I need them. I have photographic memory, so that helps a lot so I don't need a reference if I've drawn it a lot! :)
+
Using Shapes to Draw: No, I don't do the circles in the head and make a skeleton or anything...I just go right to drawing...it's easier!
Layers: scanned in sketch on canvas, ink and color on layer 1, and writing on layer 2.
Inking: With the pencil tool, I do that with my tablet...and I don't use Corel to automatically ink, no tool for that on Corel Painter Essentials 3 like on Photoshop. I have to do the whole think by hand and tablet.
Coloring: Paintbucket and chalk if there is some places the painbucket couldn't get it.
Shading: I have to do it just like inking, by hand. I use the chalk and paintbucket again and I have to make sure the color is dark enough so when I use the paintbucket, it doesn't fill the whole area. That that happens sometimes.
Background: I usually just make it white or a solid color. But if I do create a background, I'll usually sketch it on paper first. Then I ink and color that on the same layer as the ink and color of the main attraction of the drawing.
Words: I usually use Handwriting - Dakota as the font and the size depends on how big the picture is...
Signature: Sometimes I write it out...other times I put it on the bottom of the page...it all depends.

Ask me question if you don't understand! Send a note labeled Technique Question(s)! Thanks!

*

WRITING
Rough drafts: I usually don't write rough drafts...it just takes too long...and it's annoying.
Editing: I don't edit either, unless I'm bored and I come back to whatever was written later. Usually by then, it's already uploaded. :shrug:
Writing Style: I don't use too many big words. I try to write in my own style. I see different people's styles, but I usually have my own. I've improved a lot on my writing, from A Destiny For Two to I'd say maybe A Winter Valentine even though that was a while ago. But I have definitely improved a lot. And I'm even doing written commissions on my Art Status page. Ask me if you want anything!
References: I don't use many references for writing, so I don't know what to say for this one.

If I missed anything, notify me. And if you have any questions, feel free to send me a note labeled Technique Question(s)! Thanks

MY INTERESTS AND BACKGROUND
Beginning/Teaching:
[Art] I have been drawing since the first time I picked up a pencil. I learned to draw on my own and I used to look at things and draw them almost exactly, just by looking, not tracing. I have never traced. I hate it! It really is cheating.
[Writing] I have been writing for a while too. I don't know when that started. I was very young though. I learned from reading and expanding my knowledge of writing. But I'm pretty sure that I just practiced to get better.
My Goal:
[Art] I want to get better at shading and I really want to learn new techniques. So far, I have had to learn by myself. But now I think it's best to learn professionally. My main goal is to be an amazing artist and to be creative, because there are a lot of ideas in my head, but I don't know how to put them down quite right.
[Writing] It's similar to being an artist. I want to be a great writer, but I don't always have the attention span. I get bored really easily. I try my best not to. And I think it's either getting better, or worse. I know it's not neutral.
+
My Strengths:
1) I have photographic memory, which helps a lot.
2) I have weird dreams that help me to be creative. I mean, how many times do you think about a sinking house with a curse if you look through a book of demons...it was much more interesting and a lot weirder than that, but I won't explain here.
3) Creativity is pretty much my middle name. It corresponds with and is similar to strength #2. I really can be creative, but I always find my ideas to be stupid in the end...which is why I don't use them.
4) Etcetera...I write something here later...

My Weaknesses
1) Like I said, I can't keep on track for too long. I'm working on it and am getting better, but it's very hard. I have bipolar disorder and with that rapid mood swings. But I think I'm getting better.
2) I can't always draw what I see. It's only about 90% of the time that I can draw a simple version of something, in my style. Sometimes I can do it exactly...but I can't always draw something if it's really tricky and stuff.
3) I can't draw animals and other non-human based creatures. I'm getting better, but it's still really difficult for me...and I'm the opposite from my good friend ~Floodsdragon. If you want a creature that is non-human looking, go to her!
4) I'll think of more to put here!

*

Okay, that's all I'm putting down for now. If anyone has questions, just ask me...note me the same way as above [label it right]. And don't ask stupid questions. I don't appreciate that. It's really rude. I really hate it when people are being obnoxious like that. So please don't! Thanks so much! :)

Commission Information




Money Commissions
If you are interested in a money commission, we can always negotiate prices, but I will never do a commission for less than $4 USD. That would be the lowest for a sketch if it's simple. It all depends on how long it takes me and how much effort I put into it. Give me a reference, and I'll estimate a little HIGHER just so that you can have enough if it's lower than that. ;) It's helping you out!

Point Commissions
If you have no money, but have points, or you have money, but want to use points instead, please say so and we can negotiate. The rules for this type of commission is the same as the money commissions.


Subscription Commissions
For this type of commission, it's always the same, no matter how easy or hard it is. The price is always the same:
Sketch - 1 Month Premium Membership!
Lineart - 3 Months Premium Membership!
Line/Colored - 6 Month Premium Membership!
Line/Colored/Attempted Shading - 1 Year Premium Membership!


That's all! If you are interested OR have any questions, NOTE me! Thank you!

MY COPYRIGHT RULES

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING!

.:.A Dark Adventure.:.
Because I legally own A Dark Adventure and all of its characters, you are NOT allowed to PONIFY any of it. I HATE the fandom My Little Pony very badly, so don't even try it or I will take action. If it does become a professional fandom, I don't want to see any PONIFIED Shadows. I will NOT stand for it! :| Keep him in Chibi or Regular form UNLESS you have my PERMISSION to turn him into something else.
Other than that, anyone is allowed to draw anything A Dark Adventures related. But you must give me credit for I have gone to Copyright.gov and copyrighted them. They are MINE!

.:.Dark Magic: Escape of 2012.:.
Even though this is not yet copyrighted, it does belong to me. I created the idea and the rewritten characters. All of it is now original. Buck is no longer in the story I am rewriting. You are not allowed to PONIFY ANY OF THE CHARACTER. You can draw them as themselves or in Chibi form, but you are NOT allowed to ponify any of my original art or characters. They don't deserve such torture!

.:.Other Works Created By Me.:.
Keep them in their original forms UNLESS permission is given. If I find out anything about ponifying my original characters, I will not stand for it and I will report you. YOU SEE IT SEVERAL TIMES! DON'T DO IT!

Thank you,
