FAQ

Questions in bold, answers are normal yo.

Why "Third Strike"?
I'm always out, out of place, out in games, so Third Strike is probably a apt name for me. I wanted something number-ish so...*shrugs*

What's a kiriban?
I don't know either. I just refer to them as special hits. If in the index page the counter shows the number I put up as my special hits number, you can request me to draw an image. Save and mail me the counter image, along with your name and request.

This reload button is really tempting
No. I will know. Trust me

What programs do you use to colour your pictures?
Adobe Photoshop 7.0, Painter 7.0, with brushes downloaded from http://www.pixelalley.com

Tablet Model?
Some iinsy-weensy little thing, Wacom Graphire, the cheapest one in the store. *lol* Its dearly beloved to me though, even if it looses its sensitivity sometimes, all the pen needs is a smashing against the base, and everythings is right as rain. (Note: this is NOT the sugguested method of fixing your tablet.)

Will you teach me how to draw?
I'm still learning (slowly) myself, I'm afraid I won't be much help. There are a few tutorials and stuff on the 'net, I'm sure. A small tip would be to try drawing fanart first. That's how I got started.

Why haven't you got a tutorial section
Lazy. Limited time. Crap at explaining things. I'm sure my style isn't that different to a a few people on the net.

Do you take requests?
Uh...no. That is unless you have a kiriban, you know me personally, or you pay me.

So what if I pay you. Will you draw [insert chara] for me?
As it is, I've made a separate page for this. Please visit my commissions page, more information.

Can I use [this picture] for my page/layout/etc
The answer is probably going to be no. I have been known to make exceptions though.

Whats the big deal about not using your pics? That's what you made a gallery for right? For people to use?
Three questions in one. The reasons why I make a "big deal" about people using my pics is that I put a lot of work into them. I want to be the only source for people to see *my* hard work. I'm not really much good at anything you see, and as pathetic as it is, my drawings are one of the few things I'm actually proud of, and I don't want some freeloader just sticking my drawings up for viewing just so he/she can get hits.

How do I contact you?
Since I really don't interact with the art community much, the best way is to probably email me I'll try and help. Also, please try not to email me continuously about one subject, because I end up just getting pissed off.

I found someone who used your pic, with no credit/probably no permission from you.
Really? mail me with the relevant details (URL, person etc) and I'll be very grateful.

this layout is shit
Like I said, if I shrank my top pic anymore, its look hell festy, so therefore, I must cut down on loading time for everything else. While I'm on this subject, thanks to NOTEPAD for being cool.

what about YOU! I wanna find out about you!
Wow, I'm flattered.. here Stalk till content.

Can I link you?
Sure. Third Strike is linkFREE, If you want you can mail me your URL to exchange links. Save the banners on your own server though.

Link ME! link ME!
Uhm yeah, sure, check out the guidlines before you submit the URL:
1) No copied/stolen art. No. no. no no. If I catch you with stolen art, the link goes down
2) Stuff that should not be viewed by minors should come with proper warning. We do want to protect the minds of innocent children now.
3) Please don't be rude in your request. Politeness gets you everywhere, (although I might sound like a bit of a hypocrite in saything this kind of things.)
