Here is a list of questions that, while they are not frequently asked of me because I'm not popular enough to have anyone frequently asking questions, other artists have in their FAQ and they sound like good questions to answer.
Do you offer commissions?
I don't take commissions because I don't believe I'm a good enough artist to be charging for my work. If sometime in the future someone manages to convince me that I'm a supreme art Goddess, I might take commissions. In the meantime, though, no.
Would you do art trades?
I love art trades! If you're interested in a trade, just get ahold of me and ask whether or not I'm exceedingly busy. If I'm not, chances are you'll get you're trade.
What kind of trade would I get?
It depends on what you're willing to do for your half. Usually I have an equal-work policy; if you are only willing to sketch, don't expect anything more than a sketch. But if you want to fully CG your half, then you will recieve a fully finished CG piece. The only exception will be if I absolutely fall in love with a piece, and I really want to finish it. In that case, I don't view it as an unequal trade, because I'm the one who decided to step above and beyond what was asked.
Could I sell prints of something you draw for me, as a trade or a gift?
I would really rather you didn't, unless you want to work out a system where I would get a cut of the profit, in which case the print price will be too high to expect anyone to buy it. The artwork is my property, regardless of who the character belongs to. I didn't give you the rights to the image when I gave you the image.
Will I recieve a hard copy of an art trade/gift art?
It depends on whether or not I want to pay shipping and, in the case of a trade, whether or not you're willing to ship your half. Usually, I trust the US postal service about as far as I could throw them while they were wet and wearing iron boots, so it's a good bet that you'll only get a digital copy. If you're worried about resolution, drop me a line and I'll send you a higher resolution copy. I keep all the high-res copies of my work anyway.
I drew something for you! Where do I send it (i.e. Can I have your address)?
Why thank you! But you can't have my address, you creepy internet stalker you. If you drew something for me, e-mail it to me or point me to a link where I can find it on the web. That's good enough for me, thanks.
But it's all compressed and nasty on the web. I just want you to have the best copy possible.
You're sweet. But you still can't have my address. Just send me the uncompressed file as a .zip or something, my computer can take it. Really, I'm sure it looks just as lovely on the computer as it does on paper, and I'm a paranoid kitty.
On the front page, you talk like your library is huge! There aren't many stories there. Where is everything?
Most of them are languishing away on my hard-drive, waiting to be coded into HTML. In the case of novels-in-progress, they don't make it to the library until they're completed. If you want to read something that's in progress, it will most likely be on my LiveJournal.
What are these Anyix you speak of?
The Anyix are a project that have yet to come to fruition. For now, all I'll say is that they're a species of animal that resemble a cross between a wolf, a big cat and a ferret. Of course, they're much more interesting than that, or else there wouldn't be a role-play section devoted to them. But more on the Anyix will be found on their subdomain as soon as I get it set up. It's too much to explain here.
Can I use one of your characters in a role-play?
Absolutely not. All of my characters were tailor-made for stories that are either being written or are already written, and which may be published one day. My characters are very special to me, and I don't want to give them out to just anyone.
What in the world kind of thing is your fursona? Is it like a crazed cross between a leopard and a fennic fox? What's with the giant ears?
Like it says on the main page, Farasha is a serval, or an African desert cat. A serval is considered part of the small cat family, and one of its distinguishing features are its ears, which are much bigger than a normal cat's would be. You can find out more about servals through Google or Wikipedia.
Oh Em Gee, I can't believe it, you know [insert well-known artist's name here]! Would you please, please, please set up a chat/introduce me/tell them how much I worship them/let me grovel at their feet?
Christ, no, you creep. I'd like to keep my friends, thanks. And what am I, chopped liver? I'm beginning to see why my popular-artist friends really hate their fans, if rabid ones like you show up all the time. Sheesh.
