Listen to this pageF.A.Q.
Ask me anything http://formspring.me/vanitycircus
Summary of this F.A.Q: be fair and respect my work
Are you available for commissions?
Generally spoken: No. If you like to contact me anyway, please note the following:
- I do NOT work for free or for the mere chance of “exposure”.
- Don’t ask me how much I want, but tell me how much you are willing to pay for the job.
- I do not work without a contract. Don’t ask me for my terms, but send me what you have.
- My gallery pretty much shows what you can expect from me. No less, no more.
- English isn’t my native language. Thus, communication problems are to be expected.
Why is your Hellsing fan art password-protected?
- I had some problems with people, who exposed my site in a very negative and rude way or posted my art on their journals to bitch about it. I could have choosen to remove my fan art from the web completely (to their amusement), but several people wanted me to bring it back on. So here it is… hopefully “troll-save” ;). But don’t expect any updates any time soon. I have kinda lost interest in the series.
How do I get access to your Hellsing fan art section?
- Simply [register] with your name and e-mail. It’s fast and painless ;].
I don’t screen registrations. However, by registering on my site you automatically accept my Terms of Agreement as stated [here]. If you violate my T.o.A., you will be banned from my site without a warning. Sorry, but that’s the way it goes.
Can I upload your Hellsing fan art on my website/gallery?
- I’m afraid, this is no longer possible due to negative experiences.
Can I upload your original art / non-Hellsing fan art on my website/gallery?
- Yes, but you must use a linking banner (found in the link section) and correct referring link within the same page that the image(s) appear. A text link is permitted, too. Please do NOT modify my work in any way.
A simple mention on a page of “credits” is not acceptable. Please credit my image(s) actually on the page(s) of use.
Can I use your images for my personal MySpace/LiveJournal/Blog layout (or whatever)?
- If you promise that you wont “rape” my art ;). I’m allergic to bad webdesign or bad image editing. And don’t forget credits and a backlink as mentioned above.
Can I use your images for my layout collection (free or commercial), ads or game?
- Please contact me for a licensing contract.
What’s with the 4Visions watermark on your pictures?
- It’s the URL of my old portfolio. I’m just too lazy to edit these pictures.
Can I use your images for signature tags, tubes, nozzles?
- No, please don’t.
Can I use your images on my desktop or print them out?
- Sure. I don’t care as long as it’s just a private thing and nothing public. Unapproved commercial usage is strictly forbidden!
Did you paint all of these pictures yourself?
- Actually, I keep a bunch of dwarfs in a secret dungeon. *swings whip* “Paint, my little slaves, paint!”
I have seen your art somewhere else. Was it stolen?
- As long as there is a link to my homepage, it was either uploaded by myself or uploaded by permission (or uploaded without personal permission, but within my requested requirements). If you are unsure, you can always send me [a message] ^^. (And please… don’t accuse the person for stealing before you have contacted me. I like to avoid misunderstandings ;)).
How did you build this website?
- It’s a combo of [Wordpress], [Galleristic] and several customized modifications.
Why is your website in English - you are no good at it!
- Sure, my English is far from perfect. However, I think that English is the most common language on the internet. Also, I think there are a lot more people who understand English, than people who understand German. So, even if my English is dreadful it allows me to communicate with a far wider range of audience. Thanks for your understanding ;).
Who is the voice reading your website contents?
- It’s a computer generated voice by Voice-Corp.com. The web service is powered by ReadSpeaker.com. Read speaker is a supplementary service that allows you to hear the page you are looking at read aloud. Please note that certain names, places, proper nouns, or abbreviations may not be read accurately.
You may not be able to use ReadSpeaker depending on the environment of your PC.
I bear no responsibility for any type of direct or indirect loss that occurs as a result of use of ReadSpeaker.
I want to exchange links. How about it?
- Sure sure, I’d like to exchange links (unless your site has nothing to do with art ;)). Please use the submission form on the links page.
If you have any more questions, you are welcome to send me a [message].
