FAQs

I get asked a lot of questions regarding my work, so I’ve added some of the more common ones here.

General FAQs

How long have you been drawing?

I started drawing a lot when I started high school, which was in 2002 ^^ I’ve always had an interest in art though ever since I was little.

What drawing materials do you use?

I sketch on cheap computer / copy paper with a mechanical pencil XD For watercolours, I use 300gsm watercolour paper watercolour paints (with brown/white ink to finish) >>

What programs do you CG with?

I use Adobe Photoshop for everything. Older drawings were made with my Wacom Intuos 4 tablet and newer ones with my Microsoft Surface.

Will you draw me a picture?

Sorry, I’m not open for private commissions right now.

How long does it take to draw a picture?

It depends on the size and detail, so anywhere from a few hours to several days.

How did you make your website?

The HTML, CSS and PHP has been hand-coded in Sublime Text, using WordPress as the content management platform. The layout was mostly designed in browser, working from wireframed sketches. I recycled some of the gear assets from one of my older web designs!

Am I allowed to edit your bases to make a doll?

Absolutely! ^^ You can draw new faces, change poses, recolour, whatever.

Can I remove your signature when I make a doll?

Yes and I would really prefer you did – the signature is really only there as a reminder as to where the base came from.

Sorry no, but I would prefer you didn’t.
