Since I have been asked some questions quite often (for my standards), I decided to make a


F.A.Q.

If anyone asks me any of these questions in the future, I'll link them here since I'm too lazy to answer the same questions again.

Q: Can you make a dress up of *insert series/character here*?
A: No.

Unless I have already planned/started making it, that is. It can take anything from a few days to months for me to make a dress up, so if I begin making a game, it's from a series I like enough to spend dozens of hours of my free time on. I'm not going to use my free time on making random request dress ups of series I don't even know just because a stranger would like to get one for free. And I hate Bleach so I definitely won't draw it. Please stop asking for that freaking Bleach game.

And yes, this includes suggestions and ideas as well, or any other word you use to wish/hope/wonder/whatever if I can/could/should do a dress up of a certain series/character for you for free. "Just saying/asking/wondering" is just as annoying.

And if I know and like the series it's pretty pointless to request anything; I don't need any help realising that I could enjoy drawing a subject that interests me.

More on this here if you're interested


Q: Hi! Your dress ups are amazing! Do you know that *insert series here* is very popular, and it would make a great dress up! I know many people who would like to play that, and I'm sure it would be a great addition to your gallery! And there aren't any dress ups on it around so you'd be just the perfect person to correct the situation! (etc.)
A: I can recognise a request when I see one....


Q: Do you do dress up commissions?
A: If you're interested please note me. But I only accept real money via bank transfer (so no points or other nonexistant stuff, or Paypal since I don't have an account), and the price will be in proportion to the work it requires, which may be weeks.


Q: Can you add different poses/body of different age/yaoi or yuri option to your games?
A: This has been asked surprisingly often.
All the clothes have been drawn to fit the doll. If I alter the doll (the pose, age or gender), I need to alter all the clothes to fit the new doll. Considering my games tend to have a lot of items, it'd mean redrawing hundreds of clothes. So the answer is sorry no, I won't change the base doll.


Q: Can I post a character I made in your games?
A: Yes, if you put a link back or at least something resembling "I didn't draw this myself" in the artist's comments or wherever you post your pictures.


Q: Can I use anything in your gallery as base?
A: No, you can't. Please look somewhere else if you want a base.


Q: Can I alter the screen shot I took of your dress up game in a drawing program?
A: You can make minor alterations like changing the colours or adding some detail, but do not transform the outfit into something completely new. That'd be pretty much the same as using it as a base.


Q: Can I make a profit with screen shots from your games (like selling adobtables etc)?
A: No, you can't. I put a lot of effort to making the dress up and most likely didn't get any profit from it, I'd find it pretty unfair that someone else used it for profit when all they need to do is a few clicks. You can make adobtables, but they must be free.


Q: How do you make a dress up game?
A: First you need a Flash program.
Then you can either search for "Dress up tutorial" or check the one I made.


Q: What program do you use?
A: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash CS5 Professional for dress ups, Photoshop for other art.


Q: Where is Hinata!?
A: I don't like her so I left her out...


Q: How do I save the character I created with your dress ups?
A:
Here's a site that instructs you. If it doesn't work there's nothing I can do.

If you post your creation anywhere, please link back by either copying the game's web address or writing something about : iconhapuriainen: without the space so you'll get my icon :iconhapuriainen: (these only work on Deviantart).


Q: Will you join *some art group*? Can you add your deviation to *some art group*?
A: Sorry, but at the moment I'm not planning to participate in any group activities. I like to keep my works in my own gallery.


I think that was all for the time being. I'll update this if needed.

I'm not sure if there will be one, they're pretty time-consuming to arrange.

See, you say you don't like Hinata, but you don't offer any explanation. I want to know why~.

Wow that's all I can say is wow. Ok let my correct you on my message. The Note I sent you was

"Hey I really like your dress up games and was wondering if you've ever seen DBZ (Dragon Ball Z) I've looked and there's no female character creator games for it at all. I think it would be an awesome thing for you to do, it is just a suggestion hehe."

If you take note I did say it was a suggestion, I don't find your dress up games amazing I really like them so do get so full of yourself. I know A LOT of girls that have to draw their OCs because there is no dress up games for that anime. But you know what, don't do the DBZ dress up game. Don't get more views for it being the only OC dress up on the internet, I know much better artists that would see this as a great idea, hell I might even make it myself.

...Why does it sound like you're ranting just because you're angry that she did not accept your "suggestion"? If you knew "much better artists that would see this as a great idea", why didn't you go ask them first? If you "might even make it" yourself, why did you bother asking in the first place? From an objective view, your message seems pretty ridiculous...

And while you say it's a "suggestion", I think that your message pretty much fit the second question of the F.A.Q....and it definitely sounds like a request.

Well when she rewrites your message to make it sound like a request don't come bitching to me 'cause you feel insulted.

The main fact is I don't know much about making these games which is why I suggested it to her because she does, it was only after she insulted me by rewriting my suggestion to fit her needs I started making a game myself.

I would understand if I didn't draw myself, then yes it would sound like a request but the matter of the fact is when one artist suggests something to another artist it isn't a request.

Why would I need her games to make oc's when I can draw them myself?

Furthermore I sent the to her in a note, not to be put up in front of everyone to look like her bitch. I'm not angry she didn't accept, I'm angry about the way in which she chose to answer me which was rude. I don't rewrite the messages people sent me.

I know this is going to sound weird, if you do art you would most likely understand. But from one artist to another is like a code, we don't over step on someone's work or steal it or try to one up the other artist. To me I feel she broke the code by treating like some fan girl.

Ah, but she didn't specifically mention you, did she? If there were multiple people, then generalizing would make sense in the F.A.Q., yea?

I would like to mention that you forgot the red spiral shoulder thing, that the jounin wear along with the flak jacket. Other than that you did a really good job on this! ^_^

This is already the second time you tell me the same thing, when the journal or deviation where you're commenting explicitly answers the comment. It's starting to get really annoying.
