      My brother owns the chinchilla! But yes, kitty is still my son.

      Hi. Please do not use my comic to promote your product. Thank you for asking first. If you need to contact me again please also do not do it through Formspring; instead use email or any other method of contact.

      Thanks for asking! I forgot my FS existed, haha. I don't know when the next update will be, I am having a very severe motivational issue linked to having been depressed the last few months. I am attempting to get back to work but working on something you love when depressed is sort of like eating your favorite food when you're sick and can't taste it (ie, a wasted effort). I am doing my best to move my life forward, I suspect that the comic problem will fix itself once I fix all the other problems.. in the meantime, I assure you the comic is not dead and it will be back when I am.

      I don't write all that much for my job (I assume you mean my job-job), and what I do write has to be a bit asinine by default, but it's okay. For personal comics it's way more fun because I can actually say the bad words.

      Something that involves no travel, mucking around on the internet and drawing stupid shit. Oh, right, I already do that.

      Best advice: Don't pick at it

      (Literal worst bad advice: not sure if anyone has actually tried giving me bad advice before.)

      Been busy, last I read was the trippy stuff with Jones. Anyways I think it's already determined that Kat's an angel.

      Basically make a bunch of mockups using the fonts you have and pick the one that feels best! You can also print them out or put them on the computer or whatever you kids do nowadays and show your friends and see what they think... I think the right font really can add a lot to a comic/ book/ advertisement/ whatever, but it's hard to say what "feeling" it will give you unless you see it in action.

      People who say shit like this are usually assholes

      Did I? It might be under "browse" on dA... If not, probably because it sucked.

      Really? T__T you can try contacting sales@4de.com or info@4de.com, if you haven't already. I think the email address on their site is a bit outdated.

      Yeah, I fell down a hole for a while, unfortunately right after I made all those "I'm doing lots of stuff" announcements after which I stopped doing anything. Kinda can see the light now so hopefully I can get back to work soon.

      I don't have one piece that really stands out. I hate most of my work a few minutes after I finish and I don't want to look at it again.

      When I was 6 or something, like everyone else! Dinosaurs were lumped in there too, or course, but they're harder to find around here.

      Depends on the style... mostly I just bang my head on things until colors come out (jk I like working with a base color, then coloring darker or lighter depending on what the pic needs. I mostly use a hard brush with opacity linked to tablet pen pressure, but I also employ the gradient tool, the soft brush for color overlays and dodge/ burn/ saturation brush when necessary. Finding your coloring style just depends on a lot of experimentation and futzing).

      I'm fine and flattered with anything... if you do make it happen I'd love to see pics too (unless you are cosplaying naked angora, in which case I'll see the pics on your arrest record)

      Thanks, and yeah, a little. It's nice to get recognized for my work (I've been doing this job function for months). Pay raise is also nice. Now to decide if I should get Lasik with my bonus or not...

      I'm not much a fan of aggregators in general. I'm not doing the comic for money so I don't really care about that aspect of it, but I kind of figure if people want to read the comic they can make the tiny effort of going to my site. If not though, that's fine too... I will be a fuddy duddy in this as in most other things, haha.
