Below are a few questions people ask me often. I don't mind answering questions about my pixel art, but here is something you can look at first.
1. What program do you use?
I get this question a lot. I could easily state the program and go my merry way, but I don't use a traditional program (like MS Paint, Photoshop, and Paint Shop Pro) so I always feel the need to explain it.
I use Jasc Animation Shop. To this date, I have never met anyone who uses this program for the purpose of creating pixel art. It's actually an extension program to PSP (it's like Image Ready is for Photoshop). It has the basic paint tools like the paint brush and eraser tool, as well as easy scroll zoom (I can just zoom in by scrolling my mouse instead of clicking on a separate magnifying tool). Not only that, but I can make things transparent so easily in this program. If my pixel doesn't have a background, all I have to do is flood fill transparency. Cool, huh? None of that selection business. And of course - it's easy to make small animations in. Not a very complex program - but you don't need a complex program for pixel art!
2. Do you really draw your pixel art with a mouse?
Yup. I'm too poor to buy a tablet. It isn't as bad as you'd think, though. I've gotten so used to using a mouse that the tablet pen would just feel...alien, at first.
3. So you like cats? (You pixel them a lot)
Yes. I am a crazy cat lady.
In fact, at night I like to perch myself on roof tops above the night life as I watch my many, many cats prowling and feeding in the alleys.
Creepy? Yes.
True? No.
I have just always liked cats - ever since I was a wee child. They're awesome and fun to draw.
4. You should make a tutorial.
Not really a question, but yes, I eventually plan on making a tutorial despite the fact that there are tutorials already created by pixel artists much more talented than myself. (I'm not hinting at reassurance when I say that, either.) However, I LIKE to think that my pixel style is unique in it's own way and some people would like to see how I create pixel art. Everyone's process is different, after all.
5. Can I use *insert pixel art here* as my avatar?
Just note me asking. Most likely I'll say yes if it's actually avatar sized.
If you want to use it for something else like a stamp doohickey, let me know what you want to use it for. I don't bite.
6. Will you draw me something?
If you're my friend, and you actually take the time commenting on my stuff and giving me supportive feedback/advise, yes. I will definitely do a request for you.
If you're a random person, note me and I'll THINK about it - if I like the idea.
6. Art Trades?
I may consider it, and I may not.
I don't like accepting art trades and requests from random people only because I am extremely slow in filling them. Seriously, sometimes it takes months.
Buuuut, it doesn't hurt to ask.
