Frequently Asked Questions

Q. When does the page update?
A. When I can. u_u”

Q. How long does a page take you to finish?
A. If I could sit down and do it straight through, then about 2-3 hours to draw, another hour or two to ink, and 4-5 hours to color.

Q. What do you draw the pages with?
A. It varies. If I have time and my scanner is working, I’ll draw on paper (nothing fancy, just sketchbook paper) with red mechanical pencil and then ink over it with black micron pens. If the scanner decides to be a paperweight, I’ll draw directly in Manga Studio using my Cintiq tablet.

Q. What programs do you use?
A. Manga Studio Debut for line art, Photoshop CS3 for colors.

Q. PC or Mac?
A. Mac. Specifically a 17″ Macbook Pro. I’ve been on the Mac platform ever since the old SE-30′s with the little built in 3 inch black and white screen. ^_^ Windows and I don’t talk to each other very well.

Q. Do you do commissions?
A. Not usually. Between work, school, and freelance work, I barely have time to draw for myself, much less take on anything additional. It’s a time constraint, not a lack of willingness, but I learned the hard way it’s better to not promise what I can’t deliver.

Q. You’ve got [historical fact] / [german word] wrong!
A. Intentionally! Ghost is set in an alternate universe that isn’t meant to be ours. The history is a far cry from ours and even the language is subtly different (and phonetically spelled out the way it sounds in my head.) Differences are usually entirely deliberate.
