Because there are some questions, people ask over again, I have decided to do a little FAQ for you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask^^

*Frequently Asked Questions*</u>

What languages do you speak?

Polish (of course), German and English. I don't speak French, so please don't write me in this language, because I'll not be able to reply you!

How long have you been drawing?

Since I can remember. The oldest drawing I still have, was done when I was 3 XD. I didn't study art either, and didn't take any art classes - I learn by myself.

How much time do you spend on one drawing?

It depends on what I have to draw, what medium I use, and how complicated the picture is. I'm very impatient, so I don't spend more than a few hours on each picture.

How do you get your ideas?

On very very different ways, it's really hard to say. Sometimes it's the music,  sometimes a movie, a book, or a comic, sometimes it can be just my mood.

What do you think of when you draw?

I don't think, it's emotional, and probably causes all the errors, I do ;p.

Can I use your work on my website/wherever else?

You can use my video games and anime fanarts as long as you credit properly! But remember to choose, don't take everything from my gallery! You're not allowed to use any of my original illustrations (like my characters from my stories), any gifts - fanarts or not, and any fanarts of other artists' characters (like MAG and PE submissions and my friends' characters).

Can I copy your picture?

Absolutely NO! If you just want to copy in order to practise and keep it for yourself, it's fine. But posting the copy in public is not allowed, doesn't matter if it's a fanart or an original illustration. Stealing is a crime, and copying doesn't make you an artist, so be creative!

What tools do you use for your pictures?

Mechanical pencil HB 0,5, Corel Painter and Wacom Graphire2 tablet. I add the final touches and save my pictures in Photoshop. I don't ink my pictures, because I don't like inking and love my pencil^_^. So, almost all of my pictures are pencil sketches scaned and coloured in Painter.
Natural mediums - coloured pencils, pastels, charcoal, watercolours

Do you accept critics?

Yes, I do, but only constructive critics. Constructive criticism is when you write what you like on a certain picture and then you suggest in a polite way what you think could be improved. If you aren't able to understand this, don't expect me to be nice to you when you write something that doesn't fit this description.

Whay don't you draw in the manga style anymore?

Because I have been into manga since over 10 years already and I want a break. Besides I like the quasi realistic style better, I like to do new things and to search for new possibilities. I have started to draw in realistic style at all, so it will be always my favourite one. And some things just don't look good in the manga style (to me at least).

Why don't you draw some shounen-ai/yaoi/slash pretty pease?

Because I simply don't like it, it's not my cup of tea. But I have nothing against people, who like it. Like I have nothing against original yaoi stories. But yaoi fanfiction and fanart about characters that have nothing to do with yaoi scares me and I absolutely don't accept it, sorry.

Does that mean, you're intollerant?

Absolutely no. I don't care about other people's love/sex interests in real life at all. Because it doesn't make them good or bad people. It's about art/lierature, not about life you know...

Are you addicted to Harry Potter?

Lol, no! I like the books, they are entertaining and have some great characters, but certainly aren't the best what I have read in my life. And I'm not addicted, I simply like to illustrate what I'm reading, because I always wanted to become a book illustrator. Sadly I'm not...

Could you draw more Inuysha (Sesshoumaru and Rin) fanart, pleeeaaseee?

Sorry, but no... I'm not going to draw Inuyasha fanart anymore, so don't try to change my mind, it wouldn't work. There are many awesome fanarts about that sereis, so go and find them^^

Could you draw a picture of my character/for my story/fanfiction etc?

I'm very sorry, but I have to say no. Right now I have too much work to do anything besides it's really hard to inspire me to draw something that's not my own idea, and I have a lot of my own projects already.
But if you ask me to do a commission for you, it's another thing.

Do you do comissions?

What is DollHouse?

It's one of my original stories, I'm currently working on (rather playing with...). Who knows, maybe it will become a book someday...

Are you going to publish it and will it be in English?

Maybe I will try to publish it someday, but if it will happen, then only in Polish. My English is far not good enugh, besides I would rather try to publish it in Poland, so it has to be in Polish...



Thank you for reading^_^
