Okay, it has driven me over the edge of insanity when people ask the same questions over and over and over and over. So... I put together a FAQ! If your question is already here, do NOT Neomail me asking the same question, or it will be ignored. Now, the FAQs!
------------
Q- How do you do your art?
A- It's quite easy, first I sketch out the design on simple printer paper, ink it with a good ink pen (I use an Eagle Rock one, they're inexpensive and quite smooth). Then, using a white eraser, I rub out the pencil guidelines until I'm left with only the inked sketch. After that, with my scanner and Adobe Photoshop 5.0, I scan and colour the pic. Save, upload, and you're done!
Q- Where can I get Adobe Photoshop 5.0?
A- Unfortunatly, I don't know where to purchase it. Because my father has a business in software, I had it already installed.
Q- What can you tell me if I want to do Neopets pics as well?
A- When you're first starting out, you should look at the How To Draw section on Neopets or just keep pic references of each pet. Then, once you get a hang of drawing them with a reference, try drawing them in different poses, sitting and standing, running and flying, or anything else using your memory (But make occasional looks back to the pic of the actual pet.) And practice, the more you draw the better you get!
Q- Can I use the pic in the Beauty Contest?
A- No... Cause if I can't win with my pics, you prolly can't win with my pics! o_O
Q- I don't want to pay for a pic! Can't I just have a free one?
A- No. Because I'm quite busy drawing the pics and rarely have time to get Neopoints, it's my way of making money. However, if you're a super-duper lucky person, I may be nice enough to do a free one for you. BUT don't try to butter me up to do one free, Mmmmkay?
Q- Do you do Art Trades?
A- Sure! I love seeing other people's renditions of my pets! You can draw ANY of my pets (Check out "See all my pets!" for pics of them) and if you want a specific pet of yours drawn, let me know, otherwise I'll just pick one myself ^_^
Q- My pets want to be friends/go out with your pets!
A- Yes and no. First of all, please dun come out of the blue and ask, or you'll be ingored. Each of my pets have different personailties, so some of them don't want friends. Rot and Pes are pretty mean, so I dun think they'd be good around other people. Gyruk, Espectral, and Ez prefer to be alone; Stryke, Kuni, and Cassie can become friends, but it's very hard to earn their trust. Vents, Fuego, and Arige could make good friends, but they too need to trust your pet enough before they can call you "friend". As for mates, it's gonna be VERY hard. Even the most friendliest of my pets has their reasons to stay single...For example, Vents has already experienced the loss of her only love, and doesn't want to be hurt again. Arige, being a Kerishaki, is unallowed to love. And Fuego...Well, he thinks life is too short to sit down and love. Hope this long answer was enough for ya. o_O
Q- Someone has stolen/altered/re-drawn one of your pics! What should I do?
A- Just Neomail me with the URL where the stolen/altered/re-drawn pic can be found. I'll deal with them accordingly.
