Q: When does this comic update? A: Ideally every Thursday, 'course the artist is incapable of keeping a perfect schedule, so it's loosely "any time between Monday and Sunday." Realistically it would be "anytime she actually gets pages done." Q: Have you considered getting published or pitching ideas to official companies? A: Salad Days is more of a personal project/experiment rather than a means to make money and get famous -- although the last two options are also good. There are future ideas RE: the 'make money' part, and 'getting famous' is what the internet is for. But as for the official publishing, we highly doubt it. At most, this is just the added rosy scented ink to show off on our resumés. Q: Uh, isn't Salad Days already a published manga by Inokuma Shinobu? A: We're aware. Salad Days' nominal similarity to other titles is purely coincidental. Since "salad days" is a common Shakespeare-derived phrase, it's not unusual for it to be widely used for vars. other names. Aside from the fact that they share the same title, there is absolutely no relation between our manga and Inokuma-sensei's work. Q: Why the manga style? A: Why not? Q: I don't get what's going on at all, what's this comic about? A: It's about two dudes breaking into the mercenary business and the retarded adventures thereof. What's not to get? Q: Is this a slashy/yaoi/shounen-ai/whatever comic? A: We could tell you, but why spoil your fun? ♥ Q: No, seriously, this is kind of really gay. A: Isn't it, though? Q: Can I write/draw porn with your characters? A: Not only can you do so, but we wholly encourage to share your smut fine art-pieces on our fanworks community @ LJ! Or email it to us. Q: Can I use your art? A: Personal use, such as decorating your locker or binder for sexier appeal, is A-OK. Original Salad Days material is free to be taken and manipulated for things like icons, layouts, or whatever else. Credit in form of a link back is preferred. Anything used for profit or produced without permission of the creators is absolutely forbidden. If you're talking about Chira's other works, send an email. Q: How do you make your pages? A: Chira draws her pages with DELETER Comicworks on the B5 template (182 x 257 mm) directly on the computer via a WACOM Intuos tablet (her preferred size is 8x6). Text is then added in Adobe Photoshop and resized for presentation on the site. Anything with color is handled in Corel Painter 7. Q: Does Chira take commissions or requests? A: Ignoring the fact that Chira is really busy with drawing projects in general, she has a history of being completely incapable of doing things in an acceptable time frame, much less for money or even for free. In short: no. Q: Can I commission Nat, your webdesigner, to make my site? A: Nat likes cash-money, so for the right price she will certainly service you. Drop her an email or a comment on her LJ. Q: Where's the writer? A: Kicking the artist to get work done. Q: Can I link you? A: Is the sky blue. YES! Q: ...Can you link back? A: Only if we're roadtripping together. That is to say: probably not. And please don't ask. It hurts us to say no. Q: How did you learn how to draw/write/web design? A: Once upon a time, we picked up a pencil. Or a Photoshop. Q: Can you teach me how to draw/write/web design? A: Sure. It goes like this: once upon a time, you picked up a pencil. ...or a photoshop. Q: Why are you all awesome? A: Actually, the only awesome one here is Nat. Her van has all the pot. Q: Dude, you're NOT awesome, actually. Don't you think your ego is showing? A: Eh. |
