FAQ (Patreon)
Content
I suppose I'll start off with some basic stuff I've run across in my time on Pixiv and elsewhere, and update this FAQ as time goes by and get a better handle on what the frak I'm doing.
Q: What will you draw?
Well, I draw manga/anime-style human females dressed in various types of outfits, particularly:
- diving gear (with characters in full wet or dry suits, modern or vintage, in SCUBA or snorkel and occasionally freediving, surfing, etc.)
- HAZMAT suits (usually Level B with a gasmask or SCBA, but occasionally I might do Level A suits as well, although I greatly prefer the more form-fitting Level B attire in general...)
- Spacesuits and pilot suits (admittedly, I'm not really a fan of most real-life spacesuits, as I find them too cumbersome and clumsy, though there are exceptions like the suits used by Mercury and Gemini astronauts. I'm mostly a fan of sci-fi spacesuits and pilot suits - the Discovery spacesuits in 2001: A Space Odyssey are probably my favorite suit designs. I also draw pilot suits used or inspired by such franchises as Macross, Gundam, etc)
- Latex/rubber bodysuits (frequently with additional 'accessories' like ballgags, gasmasks, massage devices, restraints, etc. However, despite their apparent popularity regarding latex wear, I absolutely will not draw a character wearing a full-face hood of any kind. I've never been a fan of the aesthetic they bring, nor will I ever be.)
- Leather bodysuits (mostly motorbike racing suits)
I've drawn them in various situations on Pixiv, deviantArt and Twitter including:
- Simple character art/poses
- Benign situations (swimming around, doing a simple spacewalk, some mundane job-related task, flying a ship, etc)
- Perilous situations (attacked by tendrils/tentacles/slime, air hoses popping out, running low/out of air, out-of-control spaceships, that kind of thing...)
- While I'm aware there are quite a few people that are fans of bubble-type helmets for spacesuits or diving i.e. LAMA, I'm not particularly enthusiastic about them; while I have drawn such helmets in the past, I will no longer be doing so on a request/commission basis. Furthermore, I have no interest at all in drawing old-style diving suits with brass helmets, or 'hard' diving suits like JIM suits.)
If there are further questions not covered by this FAQ, feel free to contact me.
Q: How do I view your illustrations?
A: It's simple! You can find my illustrations on Pixiv, Newgrounds, Twitter, Bluesky and Instagram.
However, I will no longer post my WIP sketches on Patreon - those will solely be available for viewing on Discord.
Q: OK, I subscribed but I can't access Dropbox; what gives?
A: As of January 27 2024, I have cut off all ties with Dropbox; due to their embracing AI and their behavior towards customers such as I, I will not be using their services any longer.
Q: Do you take requests/commissions?
I don't know.
