Kaoru's FAQ
15 years ago
What name do you go by? - Madison, Maddi, Madifun, or Mads.
In the online community, I also go by 'Kaoru'.
Can I watch you? - Please do! If you are interested in my art in any way, click that button!
Can we be friends? - I don't see why not. If you give me reason not to like you, you'll know. I'm a very friendly and open person, and I rarely reject anyone.
Can I use your art or characters for my RPs? - I will have to ask you to refrain from doing so. A lot of my art IS my or other people's characters.
Can I do fanart/giftart for you? - Feel free! Who doesn't like giftart?
Can I print your art out for personal use? - If you are going to use it for recreational use (show a friend, hang on your wall, throw darts at it), then I don't have a problem with it. Just give me credit for the art.
If you're using it to sell, redistribute, or use vindictively, I [obviously] ask that you do not print my work.
Can I repost your art elsewhere online? - Please don't.
Can I edit your artwork? - Absolutely not.
Can I trace or reference your artwork? - As general guidelines go, if you were tracing or copying anyone's artwork, please cite your work. It's not cool to make personal gain of someone else's work, and it is illegal if you're making profit off it. (I don't see why you would want to trace MY work anyway.)
But if it helps you develop your own art style, then go ahead. Just give me credit where it's due.
Can I color your art? - I don't mind, just give me credit for the lineart and give me a link to your work. I hardly ever finish my linearts, so I'm probably a good person to come to if you want to hone your coloring skills.
Do you roleplay online? - Yes. I don't do sex-related roleplays.
Send me a message if you want me to join.
Can I have your AIM/MSN? - It's in the contact list on my profile. Please send a message to me prior to adding me so I know who you are.
Do you do trades? - Usually. You'll have to message me ahead of time. Never assume I'll automatically do one.
I also may turn you away, not because of your skill level, but because of mine. I often get overwhelmed and frustrated easily, which causes me to quit. I have to know it's something I can easily start and finish.
Do you do requests? - Keep an eye on my journals and Tumblr. I may offer Q&As, requests, or other fun games.
Can you draw me something for my birthday? - If you are a close friend of mine, and I have time to conjure something up for you, I probably will. But I don't hand out birthday art to everyone.
Do you do collaborations? - I would love to do a collaboration. If you're up for one, give me a holler in a PM.
Are you open for commissions? - No. I do not consider myself skilled enough to charge money for my art.
Can you watch me? - If your work is of interest to me, and you are active on my page, I will most likely be active with you.
What tools do you use? - Usually, I draw my art in a sketchbook with pencil, go over it with pen, then scan it. Sometimes, I may use Prismacolor colored pencils, graphite pencils, or even paint (acrylics). But recently, I go over lines scanned in Photoshop or PaintTool SAI and color it from there.
Photoshop and SAI are now replacing my traditional art.
Do you give artistic advice? Do you give criticism? - When asked of me, I give very light criticsm. Mostly, it is encouragement and a suggestion or two.
I, however, do not take crit well.
Why do you watermark your art? - I don't.
Are you a furry? - I do not consider myself a furry. I have a persona that has animal qualities, but she's not quite a "furry".
I have no qualms with furries, as I consider everyone a person and treat them with the respect they deserve as a person.
Are you single? - I am not. I am happily taken, and I would appreciate it if others respected that.
Do you attend conventions? - I've been to one anime convention so far. I plan to attend more.
Is your art on other website galleries? - KaoruHasunama @ Deviantart.
Do you have a personal website? - No.
