Art Questions
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Q: How long have you been drawing?

Q: Have you ever taken any art classes?
A: No, but I would like to.

Q: What tools to you use?
A: Open Canvas 3, Photoshop 7, Wacom Intuos III

Q: Describe your style and/or its evolution.
A: When I first started drawing, I stuck to very realistic things. I drew pictures of my family members, my dog, my cat, rabbit, muffins... things I liked. Then in Jr. High one of my friends introduced me to anime (yay DBZ, Voltron, Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Rayearth, etc.). I started to get more into the anime/manga style. My specialty was (and still is) girls.

I was drawing that way for a while, but wasn't really satisfied. I know anime are supposed to have big eyes, but mine were too big. Then I started playing anime-styled video games. I traced pictures of some of my favorite characters to try and learn how to arrange the facial elements better. These were great, because even the girls tended to have smaller-ish, yet still anime styled eyes that were a little closer to the realistic drawings I had been used to doing from the start. From then on even doing male characters became a bit easier for me (since their eyes are smaller as well), but what can I say? I'm still in love with the ladies.

Then, about two years ago I became a huge fan of Teen Titans and more shows on Cartoon Network in general. After a while the character Terra was introduced. She quickly became my favorite and I really fell in love with her character design. From then on I kind of tried to mimic it. Her style in the comics was cool too. They've been a really big inspiration to me. Then I found an artist online, *bleedman. Some of his works reminded me of Terra's design, only chibi-fied.. so I'd say he had an impact on my art too .

Q: Who are your biggest inspirations?
A: J. Torres ( [link] ), Koge Donbo, Sean Galloway, CLAMP, =bara-chan, *bleedman, all the beautiful people over at Cartoon Network .

Q: Will you draw a request for me?
A: Unfortunately I do not have the time to take requests :[ planning for world domination and making sure my slaves are doing their work takes up too much of my time.

Q: Do you take commissions?
A: I might consider it in the future if interest was shown.
