1.- Can I have posted my work at Toybox?
Uh…
no. I’m afraid not. I certainly
appreciate the fact that you are
considering toy box for your work
really, but as I already said, I won’t
host work other than
mine. So please, no matter how good is your
fan art and
such, don’t ask cause I will say no for sure. Sorry ^__^U!
2.-Can I take the drawings that you have posted here, to my site?
Yes
of course I don’t mind at all! There are several sites who
have my art
posted and my comic strips, translated.So…If you want to do that, first ASK me.
Of course as usual,
I will expect you to give me credit for what I did and blah blah.
You know the basics. Of course, cropping or adding text to the images is not allowed
please.
Obviously you can craft thumbnails out of them and with doujinshis , you can replace
the original text with the translation,
as well as add the credit for the one
that did the translation
and yadda, yadda. I also ask (and this is a must) that you
place a visible link to my site. And above all, DO NOT post my mail on
your page. Specially I *really* hate those hyperlinks or whatever the heck those links that
enable
you to send a direct mail to the artits are called. Those are nothing but Spam windows
and I really hate that. I *know* by putting those on pages, you are if anything encouraging
viewers to send feedback, but in my case, I get more spam that feeback. So don't. and
that's final. Since the gallery works via Lightbox you can no longer download images, so, if you
want a certain image for your site, you can totally write me and I'll send you the file.
my email is opimekiya(.)gmail(.)com. Please use this wisely. Write
Feedback on the subject. Otherwise I won't be able to know
your mail is about the fan art and most probably is I'll delete it.
Yes!
It’s link free. Just notify me, so that I can know to whom
I’ve been linked to and so that I can post your banner at
my site:)
6.-I already notify you. Why am I not in your link list?
a) Well, maybe your site is not a STS site, and as you
can see all the links
placed at Toy Box are Sts related. b) If your site is indeed STS related, then
I forgot
(clumsy me!). Please send me an email, and I’ll fix this mistake
ASAP.
7.- Can I sign your Guest Book?
But
of course! This is not a friend’s only thing. Even my peers
have signed
the damned Guest Book. So why don’t you? That’s
what Guest Books are for!
8.-My URL changed, can you fix the links at your site?
Yes,
but please be patience. I’ll do it as soon as I have some
free time,
or during the update.
ABOUT THE ART
Honestly? no. Because I'm a very busy person and I'll never get around to finish
the ones I planned by myself.
You can suggest a pic of course. Some of the
drawings posted here,
have been suggested by people I know in the fandom.
Even the doujinshis
posted at the Saint Slayer!. I’ll try to do my best to have it on time!
10.- Do you take commissions for Fan
art?
Yes. I do.And my prizes are very accesible and stuff. Go to the
comission tab to find about prices and stuff. I also draw OCs, in
case you are interested.
11.-What do you use to color your pics?
For
traditional work, I prefer to use watercolors to do all those drawings.
Brands
vary from what I desire to obtain. I use Windsor and Newton,
Guitar (Japanese brand
of cake colours), as well as Dr. PH martin’s
concentrated watercolors. I also use Prismacolor
colour pencils and a lot of regular pens
to create the pics. I also use a lot of black
and white ink. Both
Chinese and Indian.As
for digital, I use the painter program.
The one that has layers
and the one that doesn’t has the layer program
enabled
(painter
classic, and Painter 9). Most
of the pics posted here, are not created
using digital media, as
I don’t like computers that much. Pics that were done with
digital media are just a few, mostly the new ones .
12.- If I have any questions about the tutorial, can I ask you?
Yes,
If you have a question after reading the tutorial section, you are
very welcomed to ask. I’ll try my best to help you get what
you want :)
PERSONAL
13.- Can you teach me how to draw?
I posted some tutorials here. I'm afraid I can't do anything else to help you.
I would advise you to practice and draw everything around you. Things, people, animals
Etc. It's the only way to get better.
14.- Besides the colouring tutorials, would you be posting a drawing tutorial?
mmm... I don't think so. -_-U sorry.I'm a lazy woman ....
15.-
Can I add you to my MSN?
Nope. Seriously, don't add me (this applies to jabber, aim etc).
If you want to send me feedback that's o.k and the best
way is to do it through my inbox. I know this sounds s bit bitchy,
but I'm not up for
small talk. Besides I always answer all my feedback mails.
16.-
Can I add your live journal to my f-list?
mmmm, I don't see why you would want to add a friends-locked account to your f-list.
Unless I know you very well, I won't add you. Plus I don't post drawings over there. My lj is a very
personal space. I know I added a few people in the past, but* that* exactly taught me,
why I shouldn't do it in the first place. So, No. It's better that way. Trust me.
17.-
Can I add your DA to my watcher's list?
You really don't need my permission to do that! I'm always up for sharing
drawings and stuff. That's why I have this space and stuff. Sorry if I was being a
little adamant about the chat and lj, but I'm a very private person... But hey
if you want to talk and stuff, you can always contact me through DA :)
18.- What happened to your Email at GMX?
O.k
this is a hard one. I don’t check the mail anymore over there
because GMX switched
the language to
German only. Stayka already removed that addy from her page. If you want
to contact me, you should do it through the Gmail one. thanks a lot for understanding.
