Frequently Asked Questions
The answers to some questions that are asked quite frequently of me. If you have one you'd like to ask me, email me and I might put it and the answer up.

Did you really draw these?! O.O; : Yes. Yes I did.
What program/s do you use?: Adobe Photoshop 7.0
Do you use a drawing tablet?: Nope - I have one, but it's tiny and doesn't work in the middle, so I can't use it. These were done with the mouse and the pen tool ~_^
Will you show me how?!: Tutorials are here.
What's a "lamington"?: MMMM... lamingtons. Lamingtons are little Australian cake-thingies. They're a little square of sponge cake, coated in chocolate (or strawberry, but traditionally chocolate) and then sprinkled with coconut. MMMMMMM. Some of them have cream in the middle and some of them have jam and SOME of them have both XD
Why are you the Lamington Queen?: Despite the obvious answer of, "I like lamingtons", there is actually a story behind this. I am a rabid Good News Week/DAAS/Paul fan and one week Ross Noble was a guest on Good News Week. Paul made a joke about lamington drives (like a cake drive, where you make scouts or old ladies sell them for money) and Ross didn't know what a lamington was. They told him and later in the show when he was playing Scattergries he claimed that he was the "Supreme Ruler of the Lamington People". Anyway, I couldn't stop saying it for a week and then my everyone started calling me the Lamington Queen and I kept it :D
What's going on with my commission?: I don't know. I don't spend every waking minute doing these, so you'll have to be patient. You can check your progress here.
Why do you always draw the Lamington Queen naked?: Despite claims that it's because I'm really a nudist at heart, it's kind of because clothes are hard to draw. When I first sort of went to draw her, I knew I wanted the tiara and the robe, but then I couldn't think of anything cool to go underneath. Since I draw the body of every person before I put on their clothes (So I can think of how things go) I just left it. Now I do it because it's fun to think of new ways for hair and robe to be strategically placed by a convinient wind :D
Will you do an art trade with me?: Probably not - sorry! I'm too busy and they take too much time!
Will you draw me a freebie?: Not unless I like you :P
Can I use your pictures/drawings in my website?: Not unless you have my STRICT permission. The answer will probably be no. If you wish to use it in a signature, or a wallpaper, or icon or whatever, you still have to ask and I may let you use it if you credit me (and I like you XD )
