Q: How often do you update Vix Dojo?
A: Few times a month at the least, but I will try to update my site more often
then usual. The thing is that I spend most of my time drawing, playing video
games and reading. But I always update my site whenever I need to. Back in the
1990s and early 2000s, my parents were the ones that updated my old site, but
now that I have my own domain since 2008, it is I that updates my own site now.
No offense, but I'm a strong adult who takes good care of myself, and I want to
make sure everything is OK.
Q: May I use your artwork?
A: Yes you can. You can use any of my artwork (fanart or whatever) and animated
GIFs that you want for your blogs, avatars, YouTube videos, etc, whatever. As long as
you give me credit (this means do not claim as your own), because I am the one
who drew my artwork after all.
Q: May I draw your characters from
K-World?
A: As long as you don't draw erotic art, then yes. The K-World characters are
created by myself, and I tend to be protective of my own copyrights, you know
how serious I am. And most importantly, the "characters" found in my
original art gallery
(with the exception of the miscellanious section) are me and my family members
in art form so they're like caricatures of us. I plan to keep my virginity
forever for the rest of my life and I will be very upset if someone drew me in a
way I dislike, and I want to make sure it never happens. You can draw fanart of
K-World characters, for example, as long as it's nice and as long as you give me
credit (this means do not steal).
Q: Do you take art requests?
A: I can take requests if you want. I can draw pretty much everything. Let it be
fictional characters, food, plants, animals, objects, things that I like, things
that I dislike, etc. you name it. Trust me, I'm a high-class artist, so I'm
capable of drawing anything.
Q: What programs do you use to draw art?
A: I draw on a piece of paper with a pen or pencil. Then I scan my drawing with
a scanner. Then I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 to color my drawing. I sometimes use
either Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator CS4 or Manga Studio Debut 4.0 to draw using either a mouse or a tablet.
Original Art FAQ:
Q: Where did you come up with your alias
(Vix)?
A: I got the alias 'Vix' from my most favorite animal, the fox. I like foxes
because they're sneaky and clever, and possibly because of video games. Vix can
be seen as a parallel to Fox McCloud. Both of them are main protagonists of
their series. Vix is the main protagonist of
Vix Dojo while Fox McCloud is the main protagonist of Star Fox. Both of them
are around the same height and age group. And both of them are leaders. Since
I'm a girl in real-life, I got the nickname 'Vix' because it would be a female
version of 'Fox' from the Star Fox games. As you can tell, I am a huge Star Fox
fan and I thought it would be cool.
Q: Why do you draw yourself and your family as anthropomorphic
animals?
A: Because that is who we are. We chose to be those animals because, it's a long
story, when I was young, I used to ask my family "Which animal or species do you
want to be? I'm a fox." and they all gave me answers to my question on what they
want to be. We may look like people in the real-life photographs we take with
the camera, but in the art and animation side of things, me and my family are
these anthropomorphic animals. I'm a fox, my mom is a hummingbird, my dad is a
bear, my oldest sister Kristin is a lioness and my middle sister Karen is a
poodle. Anthropomorphic animals are animal characters with human-like
characteristics, such as standing on two legs instead of four, and the ability
to speak and wear human clothes. As a rule, me and my family cannot be anything
other then these animals I draw us as, because we were born as these animals, we
will always be these animals. Having a persona or alias is fun because it
unleashes your inner power or whatever the heck else you can think of, or you
just want to keep your real name private for security reasons. Either way, it
works.
Q: There is no way that a bear and a hummingbird would give
birth to a lioness, a poodle and a fox.
A: Actually, there is a way. It is either me and my sisters were born as an
animal that evolved into three different animals each, or that the doctors in
the hospital were magicians that determined the species of the babies. Either
that or we were humans that turned into anthropomorphic animals by some kind of
power of our own. You need to
remember that anthropomorphic animals are different from real-life animals, so
anything goes.
Q: Since you (Karla/Vix) and your family are animals, then
what animal/species am I?
A: You can be whatever you want to be. It doesn't always have to be an animal.
You can be a human, or an animal, or some alien, or your persona from a MMORPG
game that you play, or whatever race or species you
see that you want. As soon as you finally decided on what you want to be, or
what your persona or alias is, or what you draw yourself as: Remember that you
were born as that species, so this means you will always be that species.
Fan Art FAQ:
Q: Why do you draw video game fanart?
A: The thing is that I have enjoyed playing video games ever since when I was a
child. Since I'm a very talented artist myself, I want to find a way to keep
gaming's reputation alive. I can be very protective at times and it is hard to find good pictures of video game
characters on the Internet these days, as people abuse them by either writing
bad fanfiction of them, or drawing horrible crud of them, and that just makes me
depressed. In order to save gaming's reputation, I decide to draw my own video game fanart to outshine those who disagree. Whenever I draw video game fanart I want
it to stay true to the real storylines found in the actual video games
themselves. It's always good to respect the creators and owners of those
properties, because video game characters and franchises are copyrighted
material and it's better to stay out of trouble. So not to worry, because
whenever I draw fanart I always respect copyrights. Let's say I draw a picture
of a Sonic character, for example: It will say "Sonic (C) SEGA" meaning that
said character is not owned/made by me. If I end up getting any 'cease and
desist' letters from said company in the future, then I will take my fanart
gallery off in case that happens, but not to worry because I always know how to
stay out of trouble (Trust me, I would never do anything illegal). I still enjoy
drawing fanart as much as I do with original art. And believe me, I am very good about these
things, so nothing to worry about.
