Site IAQs!
Q: When/how often do you update?
A: I mostly update when I've gained a few more notable pieces of artwork, and/or something interesting.
Q: How'd you come up with the theme?
A: The child in things has captured me, so I tried to imitate that. If you look around, it's pretty obvious how much it's motivated me.
Q: Who're those characters on your layout? They're cute!
A: On the front rests Senshuu, the character who is actually a lot sweeter than the person who took her name! Inside are Zanoi, the blue wyvern, and Eyefel, the wingless gryphon.
Art IAQs!
Q: When did you become an artist/writer?
A: I've been drawing and writing ever since I've had the ability to (when I developed my motor skills), like many, but I didn't consider myself anywhere near professional until late 2005/2006. There are still several levels of professionalism I'm aiming for as well - yes, I'm still building up, experimenting and refining. :) I enjoy the challenge, but it's plain masochistic sometimes.
Q: What inspires you?
A: A lot of things inspire me, especially nature, animals, and of course, good humor. However, my biggest inspiration would have to be other people's art. Nothing drives you like the depth and creativity found in other artists like yourself, and even moreso, artists completely unlike you.
Q: Why don't you draw [thing/character/fandom] more often?!
A: I tend to draw things when I really feel like it. It's rare I finish things in one sitting, even; and when it comes to particular subjects (fanart especially), I am very slow at producing art. It's not that the desire isn't there - I just never get around to it.
Q: Is all your artwork available at high resolutions?
A: Yes! Rest assured that most of my work is done at 320DPI (my magic number).
Q: Do you take requests or art trades?
A: Right now I can't very much afford to do art for free, although depending on the situation I MAY do a trade. Requests aren't very likely, but you should ask for a trade if you want one! Make it interesting!
Q: How about commissions?
A: Yes! More detailed information on personal commissions is here.
Personal IAQs!
Q: How'd you come up with "Senshuu"?
A: It was quite a random name. At its creation (when I was 11), it was Sen-Shuu, a name for an artist-inspired character that I never actually used and rarely drew. It was only years later that I discovered that, among other things, its Japanese equivalent means "thousand years" (alternatively "many years"), which in turn inspired my webcomic Millennium, which since grew uncontrollably large. The character Senshuu herself has never been the same, ranging from a bat-winged panda anthromorph to a limbless, badly-sewn pink plushie, and I am still trying to finalize her design.
Q: What do you do when you're not drawing?
A: Great question! Actually, I often find myself gaming (obvious RPG and platformer love), writing, or reading books and manga. I also spend long periods of time doing nothing but listening to music.
Q: You suck!
A: ...That is neither a question nor very worth acknowledging, but thanks for taking the time to say so. :)
I hope this various information has shed some light upon you!
As always, feel free to ask.
