Read This Before You Ask, please!

Frequently Asked Questions:

I get a lot of questions in comments and notes, and most of them are the same. SO - if you have a question for me; before you ask me, read this and see if I can answer some of your questions here first. If this doesn't answer your question, then you can contact me.


Questions regarding my art:

Q: Can I trace your art/ use it as reference / use the pose from one of your drawings / re-color them / color your lineart / make my own version of your art / post it somewhere else, like on my website or facebook / use your art as my icon or avatar ?

A: No. Simple as that. Not even if you give me credit or link back to my page. I appreciate when people ask first, but the answer is still no. Sorry if this sounds mean, but those are drawings I made myself, and I will encourage you to make your own drawings, too. Not use the work of others in any of the ways mentioned above. Be creative, and create your own art!
And do not repost my art elsewhere, please.

Q: Can I draw fan art of your characters?

A: Sure you can! :D I really love getting fan art! Just make sure you give me credit for the character and link back to my page! :)

Q: Do you do art trades or requests?

A: Sorry, but I don't. Simply because I don't have time to give out loads of free drawings. Free drawings are for very close friends, family, or people I for some reason feel like giving art to. But usually just people close to me in real life.


Questions regarding my novel, "SPIKE":

Q: Where can I find it?

A: In my Gallery, in one of the folders on the left side. Or here: [link]

Q: Where can I read more?

A: I stopped posting chapters because I want to try and get it published. And I'm sorry about not posting more chapters.

Q: When will it be published?

A: I don't even know IF it's gonna be published ^^; so this is a question I can't answer yet. All I can say, is that in one way or another, when the novel is done, you will get to read it somehow.


Questions regarding my Livestream sessions:


Q: what's the link to your channel?

A: [link]

Q: when do you livestream?

A: I don't schedule my Livestream sessions, I just go online if I'm drawing something and feel like sharing it. I also go online sometimes just to talk. I announce when I'm online through my Journal Entries. When I'm offline, that Journal Entry will either be edited or deleted.


Questions regarding other things:

Q: what program do you use to draw with?

A: Adobe Photoshop CS3 for coloring, and sometimes Manga Studio for lineart and making comics and such. But I mainly use Photoshop.

Q: What kind of tablet do you use?

A: currently, a Wacom Intuos3. Medium sized, I think. I'm saving up for an Intuos4 though.

Q: Do you ever draw traditionally?

A: Yes! :) I do that a lot! I use loads of different mediums to draw traditionally with. Like mechanical pencils, pigment liners, ballpoint pens, Copic Sketch markers, brush nib pens (or whatever those are called), um... crayons? XD I use a lot of different things to draw with :)

Q: Can we be friends?

A: I don't know... I mean, making friends is nice, but I'm not very good at keeping contact. Also, I need time to get to know a person. You can't just decide to be friends, y'know? At least it doesn't work that way with me... ^^; But thanks for asking! :hug:


Regarding Clubs:
I appreciate invites to clubs or when someone wants to submit my art to their club, however I do not want my art to be spread around on other places than my account, or my other account on other pages if I should choose to submit them there. I am a proud member of two clubs, and I chose to ask to be a member myself. So if I want to join a club, I'll find and ask that club myself. But as a general rule; I do not want my Anthro art to be submitted to any groups. Photos, ID's and Plague Doctor stuff I might accept being submitted to groups, but again; not my anthro work.

Commissions




COMMISSION INFO


ALL COMMISSIONS ARE CLOSED FOR NOW!
I need to finish those I already have.. sorry


hey, got a minute?








help spread awareness






just a little box to try and spread awareness of sexual abuse and child abuse.
The deviation above is drawn by me, and the Artist's Comment contains some of my views on this subject, and how I want to help the victims the way I can - through art and through spreading awareness, letting them know someone cares.
Hopefully, more awareness on the subject, getting more people aware that these things actually happen to millions of children on a daily basis, will increase the chances of the victims getting help, and hopefully break the silence.

Journal Entry: Thu May 24, 2012, 8:47 AM






I'm at my dad's place, borrowing his laptop as I type this.
I'm here because I'm finally getting to paint that mural thingy. Up until now, there's been no painting and just preparations ( *cough* procrastinating *cough* ) from the commissioners' side... But this week it seems it's all gonna happen at once, and I've got this week and one more in June to finish it all. I'm mentally exhausted from all this mural stuff... But it's nice to actually be painting now instead of just waiting :p
Oh, and those two first days of this week, when I was still waiting to get to paint, I wrote some more pages on "SPIKE" :meow: I could be writing much more, but I need several hours to spend on writing in that case, and I don't have that much spare-time now..^^;
Other fun news: I'm getting sun burnt a lot :la: (just kidding, it's no laughing matter, really :XD: ). Oh, and the summer finally seems to be just what it should be: warm and sunny. Me and Marcie have been taking some long walks, but today it was simply too hot to walk much. Just crossing the road to the school where I'm working on the mural was making us all sweaty! Marcie met some kids today though. They were so sweet and funny little ones :) One of them was scared of Marcie, asking if she would bite. But once reassured that Marcie wouldn't bite, and that she was just a happy puppy who wanted to give everyone puppy kisses, that kid ended up being the one in the group who was the most excited about Marcie, wanting to hold the leash and pet Marcie and got lots of puppy kisses :XD: it was a fun moment, meeting those kids, and Marcie was just overjoyed to meet them! She loves people. And she haven't really met many kids before, so this was a positive experience, especially seeing how Marcie was much calmer around these kids. I mean, she is very nice to kids, but she tends to jump on them to kiss them in the face, and not all kids like that. Today she had all four feet on the ground more often than usual, but I think it helped that these kids weren't scared of her, and some even sat on the ground to be at "eye level" with her, so she didn't need to jump up.
There's this one kid at the school here, too, who is just in love with Marcie, it seems. Everytime he sees us, he runs over to us and ask me if he can pet her. And he talks about how he remembers last year in the late autumn when he met us and Marcie was a tiny puppy. He was surprised to see how much she's grown. I think he knows Marcie's name, but it's cute all the same when he calls her "that little puppy" instead of her name. :aww:
So there are some very cool kids here at the school :)


I just felt like updating you guys a bit, since I'm not posting any art this week. ;)

After learning that you like rock, I have tried to listen to some rock songs. . .

AND I LOVE IT!

ROCK IS AMAZING! It has so much power in it, and so much meaning! I used to listen to Dubstep, but now I'm getting into rock more!

P.S Your art is my inspiration to go to college for animation!

Hi. For sometime, I've been looking at your drawings. I've even favorited some of them. You are truly an inspiration.
Sadly, I'm a little jealous. If you ever get a chance to look at my gallery, you'll see that I'm not as great as you. Then again, your older than I am, and have more experience.
I've been drawing anthropomorphic characters since I was in middle school. I've been inspired by so many people. But you're different. You're a genius at what you do. You're the anthro master! I wish I were as great as you.
Just yesterday, I took my time looking at your drawings. I decided to try out your style of drawing. And, believe me, it looks great. I was so excited, and, for the first time in a while, I actually appreciated something I drew.
For some reason, I know it seems like I'm copying you. I'm not trying to. I'm just inspired by you is all.
Your characters and their stories fascinate me. My favorite characters are Lillith and Spike. I love Lillith's inspiration with music, as well as her hair. And Spike's angst and his backstory leave me speechless.
Thank you for all that you've inspired me to do, Elise. You're awesome. Keep on drawing!

I was looking at one of your pictures (Which I adore...) and you mentioned a store on cafepress, BUT I CANNOT FIND ONE! I'm very interested in looking at something to buy from you. Is your store still up? If so... can I have a link? :P
