. . | Ma Drawing Skillz | . .

-How long have you been an artist?-
Since I was about ten with the show Pappy Drew It at about 6 in the morning

-How long have you been drawing anime?-
Since I was about 9th grade..

-What do you use to color your pictures?-
I like to use color pencils and photoshop

-Where have you learned to draw/color?-
I’m self-learned. But it has taken me years and years of practice, like every other artist out there. You can’t get talent over the night, it comes over patience and practice.

. . | Commissions/Art Trades | . .

-You do commissions?-
Yes! I most certainly do, I’m always up for commissions. Just check my commission journal first, then note me when you’ve decided what you want. Or you can just go here to my website. It has everything you need to know -->http://www.freewebs.com/shimikinscommissions/index.htm

-Can I have an art trade with you?-
I would love to do an art trade with you! I am always up for an art trade!

-Will you draw me a request?-
Not unless you are a good friend. I am busy and have a life other than my laptop and drawing. I am currently trying to write a book and I would like to finish it before I die.

-Can I draw you a gift?-
If you want to, then you’re more than welcome! I love to receive gifts, and I always appreciate when people draw me something. And if you’re lucky, I might kick in something in return.

-When will you be done with the Commission/Trade/Request? Why cant't you hurry up?
A. If it is a trade/request, I will take my time because either a)I'm not being paid to do this, b)It depends on how much I like you. B. If it is a commission, I am going as fast as I can. I DO NOT have a scanner so I cant just whip up a drawing. I take almost twice as long with a tablet. C. JUST HAVE PATIENCE
The next time that you ask for a trade or request, I will reflect on your past requests and trades to see if I am willing to do them or not.

. . | Art Usage | . .

-Can I use your work for my avatar, website, etc?-
No. I don’t like the thought of my work on the net on some random web sites without my control. Perhaps if you’re a close friend, if not; no.

-Can I write about your character in my fan fiction?-
Sorry, yet again; no. I’m very protective of my characters, and many do not know how they would behave in different situations, and then maybe write something about them that is completely out of character.

-Can I cosplay one or several of your characters?-
No.

-Can I print your work and post it on my wall?-
Yes, you most certainly can! I love to hear that people have printed my work to decorate their walls. You don’t need to ask me to do it, but I would be glad if you gave me the credit when other people ask who made it.

-Can I use your art as refrence for a pose?
Yes, note me first please because I dont want my characters copies. Especially Shimi. I have had her for many years and if i see her copied in the slightest I will be very angry.

-Can I add you on Yahoo or Aim?
Ask first please, I dont need any stalkers.

-Do you have a myspace?
Yes but im never on it.

. . | Random Things | . .

-I don't like your work...-
Alright, but that is your problem, isn’t it? Not mine. So if you don't like what you see, make it simple; don’t look and stop bitching.

-OMFG, you are so gewd, I hate u!!-
Have a good day, you too.

-Please comment on mah work!?!!11one!!1-
I comment as I please. I comment on something if it catches my interest, not because some random artist tells me to.

-You are so mean, why are you so mean!?-
I'm not a mean person, really. If I say I will not draw you a request, comment on your work or whatever... have it ever hit you that I am busy and have other things to do?
