Stephan's Super Awesome F.A.Q.

READ BEFORE YOU NOTE ME. Save my delete key from some wear.

A: Only from friends and loyal watchers, or people I watch.

Q: Do you take requests?
A: Only from friends

Q: Do you take commissions?
A: Yes, see my commission page for more details.

Q: Will you work for my pet site?
A: Will you pay me?

Q: Will you be my friend?
A: Not if you have to ask.

Q: Will you teach me/give me private lessons?
A: No.

Q: Have any tips for me?
A: Practice.

Q: Do you do tutorials?
A: Sometimes, Feel free to look through my gallery for them.

Q: Do you take tutorial requests?
A: No.

Q: Is your name pronounced like “Stephen” or “Steven?”
A: No, it’s pronounced like “Steff-ann”. If ONE more person calls me Steven I’m going to hurt someone.

Q: Do you love watching anime?
A: Not particularly.

Q: So why do you draw it?
A: I like the manga style.

Q: I have a mini RPG on Gaia and want to use one of your pics as a character reff on the forum or for a banner in my shop, may I?
A: Drop me a note, it will probably be ok, but I like to do this on a picture to picture basis. I don’t allow the use of characters from my Dogma, FDA or Avatar art.

Q: Can I post your tutorial on my site?
A: No, but you are welcome to put a link to it on your site.

Q: Are you really growing that mustache?
A: Haha, no. That was a shot at DA. I hate mustaches.

Q: Why won’t you respond to my comments?
A: I read all comments, but I simply don’t have time to respond to ALL of them. If I feel a comment warrants a response I’ll respond (if DA lets me) but comments like “I like it” and “Kawaii” are never going to get responses. I’ll usually answer questions best I can.

Q: Why won’t you answer my question on your picture?
A: Because it was probably something like “how did you do that?” or already answered in the description. I don’t answer vague questions.

Q: How did you do that?
A: *delete*

Q: Why are you so mean?
A: I’m not mean, I’m pissed off. I’ll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

Q: Can I color one of your linearts?
A: Probably, feel free to note me, but be sure to include the line art. If it is a specific character, all I’ll ask is that you color them the proper colors.

Q: Can I use your picture for a wallpaper/layout/icon/etc on my site/DA?
A: Drop me a note including the piece and what you want to do with it. As long as it isn’t a very personal character I’ll probably say yes.

Q: What is “Dogma”?
A: Dogmas is an RO doujin that I’m working on (very slowly, damn school) and can be found here: [link]

Q: What is “Avatar”?
A: Avatar is an FMA doujin written by: :iconbudgie::iconchameleon-pinkfox::iconlone-momo: and drawn by hunter that can be found here: [link]

Q: What is “FDA”?
A: The Chronicles of Falls D’Ange. An original set of novels conspired by myself and *lone-momo, a project 9 years in the making. Final writings/translations by myself and can be found here: ~LeLoupNoir

Q: What is Bauble Stock?
A: It is a slowly growing collection of clothing designs that are available for you to use for your characters and can be found here: ~BaubleStock

Q: People keep changing around your gender in their sentence and stuff, doesn’t that bother you?
A: No.

Q: Why “Budgie”?
A: “Budgie” was a nickname given to one of my characters when he would not reveal his true name. It’s been my online alias many many years, as when I was young, I too would not reveal my real name.

Q: I can’t write English well at all but I need to contact you, what do I do?
A: You can also write me in French, German or Spanish if need be. Just try your best.
