cuteosphere asked: Do you have any advice for someone who's trying to get their t-shirt designs out there, or advice for good ways to apply designs to other things too, like stationary and decor? I'm really shy so I find advertising really scary, is there a good way to go about it? Sorry for all the questions!

Answer:

Well, I cover a lot of “getting out there” tips in my freelancing guide, so give that a read.

As for applying designs to different products, I recommend studying existing ones. You can often see what works and what doesn’t just by looking at what’s already been done.

I’m not very good at advertising either, so I can’t help you there. Sorry!

Yes, I have! I absolutely loved it! It was a beautifully animated OAV with a really cute and fun story. I hope to see a series born from it someday soon.

cartoons-n-videogames asked: Do you ever plan on making a tutorial with Easy Paint Tool Sai?

Answer:

I don’t really have much time for making tutorials these days :( I’m sorry.

SAI is a lot easier to use than Photoshop though, so you can pretty much figure it out by spending a few hours playing with all the settings.

theforbodingboglands asked: Is there any future with Celesse and Ferris? Even if it's just doodles? I would die to see more of them. Their so adorable ;u;

Answer:

Oh, yes. Their story goes on, and I try to doodle them from time to time. They’re good warm-up material because I’ve been drawing them for so long. I’ll try to save and post more of the sketches.

lilusagi asked: Wait...I'm so confused...when did Celesse and Ferris have MORE kids???

Answer:

Yeah, haha! They ended up with three because they’re such cute parents. Kylee kind of came around after I stopped drawing the family so much, so a lot of people don’t know about her.

sunblink asked: Have you ever considered releasing calendars in Sugar Bunny Shop?

Answer:

I’m afraid not. Calendars are time-sensitive products and the last time I tried them I wasn’t able to sell them all :( So I just sell them through my deviantART account now.
