Okay, I could prattle on and on about why I left Deviantart so long ago. I was going through a bad time. If you want more details, PM me or some shit. Anyway, I'm coming back, as promised. However, there will be a few... rules as to what I will post from here on in.

1. I will only post fanart or requests/commissions of certain characters. None of my original characters/stories/etc... will be posted online from here on in. If you did NOT see any of that stuff before, tough shit. (That being said, only close friends may see the OCs and whatnot.)

2. I will NOT post 18+ art to this webpage. Same goes for commissions/requests, those will be e-mailed, and if I see them posted elsewhere, I will discontinue that as well.

3. To get myself moving, I will post ONE sketch a week. No more, no less. I encourage anyone and EVERYONE to critique the work, as it is the only way I will get any better.

4. If you actually care about my life, you'll know my IM or texting info by now. That being said, you wanna know about me, you have to be a friend of mine. All other personal information will be kept private from here on forth. Anyone who does otherwise on this site is a fool looking for attention.

5. Anyone whining about how artistic nudity is "untasteful" or "sinful" or whatever will be blocked, booted, etc... Please keep stupid opinions to yourself. Keep any religious beliefs to yourself. Keep any PERSONAL BELIEFS TO YOURSELF. Doesn't matter if you're a member of the KKK, a neo-nazi enthusaist or a straight-up Christian... Keep your trash out of the internet. We will thank you for it.

6. Stupid comments will be deleted as I see them. Or at least hidden, as per DA. Please don't make me waste my time here.

7. Photos are not art, at least personal photos. That's what Facebook is for. If you know my name. Look for me there for any photos.

8. If I find any of my original characters/old drawings/old photos/anything I had originally drawn, created, etc... on your page. I will first, kindly request that you remove it and delete the file from your computer (even though I have no way of finding out whether or not you've done the latter). If this goes undone, or even if you go so far as to insult me, and THEN proceed to leave said images up, I will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law, so don't push me please. "Fair Use" does not apply to any of my material. Also, I do not premit fan art of my characters please. There is ONE exception to the rule, and you have to know me pretty well to find that out.

9. I will take a total of TWO (2) commissions at a time. I do have a life outside of drawing, and I do not draw for a living, nor do I expect to.

The prices for commissions are as follows: (ALSO POSTED IN MY FAQ!)

See my FAQ for more info on commissions!

10. Requests are open if I do not have any commissions open at the time. If I receive a commission while I have a request(s) in progress, I will stop the requests to immediately work on the commissioned work. Requests are usually reserved for close friends. Oh yeah, the one-sketch a week rule... that also takes a nosedive when a commission is contracted.

11. Please review my FAQ. [link]

1. Where did you go?
I took a hiatus from Deviantart due to some personal problems, and deleted my work also due to personal reasons.

2. Why won't you tell me about XXXXX?
Again, personal reasons, and I probably don't know you well enough. If you know me that well, look on my facebook page for more information. If you STILL can't find the answers there, PM me and I may get around to telling you.

3. Why won't you post XXXXX to this site?
In the case of 18+ drawings, this website does not supply sufficient security against underage viewers.
In the case of my OC's (Original Characters), I plan to use these to start a few manga later in life. Hopefully I can get good enough to get such a thing published.

4. Do you do kiribans (pageview screenshots)?
Not anymore. Screenshots are too easy to edit, and if someone wanted to, they could claim them as necessary, and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Sorry.

5. Will you have a table at XXXXX-Con?
No. I will adhere to this rule. Never will I ever obtain a table to sell anything at a convention. I go to those to have FUN.

6. I heard you say something about commissions?
The prices for commissions are as follows:
BUST SHOT
$5US - SKETCH (Rough Pencil Drawing - Slightly cleaned up)
$10US - INKED SKETCH (Lightly Inked - Main pencil guidelines cleaned up)

Half of the payment will be requested in advance prior to starting work, and when the product is finished, a preview file (at 3/4 completion and watermarked) will be sent to you for review. When accepted the remainder of the payment will be expected before I send the finished (completed) file. A high quality print will also be mailed to you (if you supply me with a mailing address and $5US (no additional fees required for commissions over $20US)) I will retain the original copy for my own personal collection. This can be obtained as well, as determined on a case by case basis.
SOME commission prices are negotiable. None are free. Please do not patronize me.

Oh, and if the request is for a fanart for an original (not serialized (By serialized, I mean stuff like Naruto or One Piece)) character that does not belong to you, please have THAT person e-mail me AND DA Note me, saying it is okay to have their characters used in such a context. I will NOT start on the commission until this is done.

7. Why do you charge so much for commissions?
In the case of the 18+, if I have to draw it, I may as well get some good funding out of it. Otherwise, as I said, some prices are negotiable.

8. Why won't you accept my request/commission?
I either have too much on my plate right now, or I've filled my 1 Request/2 Commission quota, or maybe Godzilla could be striking somewhere near, I don't know... This technically SHOULDN'T be in my FAQ really, as I will most likely give you a reason in a reply.

9. Do you use XXXXX-website?
The only other web pages I frequent are Pojo (for my Yu-Gi-Oh cards) and Facebook (for my life updates). MySpace and Twitter are for losers. Deal with it.

10. I know you post stuff here... but do you have any other work you post?
My 18+ stuff can be found at another website. PM me if you want to know where. (I will need proof of some sort that you are at least 18) I have a YouTube account under the username Nekoyuki. RARELY will I post anything there though. I do Let's Play videos and stupid reviews. My serious video work is filmed by a friend and is posted on HIS webpage. Again, PM for information.

11. Can I post your XXXXX drawing elsewhere?
I very much would rather you did not. In rare cases I will allow this, as long as I receive credit. Again, case by case basis.

12. I have seen your drawings on another page without any credit being given.
Thank you, please Note me or e-mail me the following information:
1. Location of where you found it (the FULL URL)
2. The website you were visiting.
3. Time you saw it (if possible)

If you do so, I will permit you one free 2 person full body shot request.

13. You play Yu-Gi-Oh?!? I want to trade with/duel you!
Um... Please find me on Pojo and PM me there. My username is Nekoyuki. You'll also find my trade list there by following this LINK. (Link temporarily down)

14. After I commission you, I'd prefer it if...
Hey, you paid for it, get your money's worth. Make any (reasonable) requests of me for your commissioned work. If you do not want me to post it, I won't. If you want to re-post it yourself on your page, I had BETTER see some credit given to me. (Also, in that case, I'll post it on my page whether you wanted me to or not XD.)

15. Can you teach me how to draw like you?
First off... I don't believe I am good enough to do so. Secondly, everyone has to develop their own style. So no. I will not teach, nor will I post any tutorials as to how to draw.

16. What if I can not afford to pay for the commission?
Please don't commission me for the work then. Seriously though, if you've already commissioned me, and cannot come up with the remaining payment, I will retain the finished product AND the deposit until sufficient arrangements can be made.

17. Hold on a second... That's technically still my money and I never received a product for that payment!
This isn't a question... but anyway. Look, I don't want to be held liable for anything, NOR do I want to be taken advantage of. I'm usually a nice guy, and can understand when things get tough. It's not like I will permanently withhold your drawing(s).
Please understand that if I were to give refunds to any and everyone, I wouldn't make anything and I may as well simply be taking requests. I will work things out with you on a case by case basis so that I will not be taken advantage of.

18. Okay, Okay... So what happens to my deposit after I send it to you?
I start working on your commissioned drawing. I do not touch the money until I reach 3/4 completion and send you that review file. Upon sending you that file, half of the deposit is retrieved from the PayPal account for work thus far completed, whether you approve of it or not. Should you not approve of it, you will receive one half of your deposit as refund, and the project will be scrapped. That being said, if I feel the work is insufficient for your payment as well, I will give a FULL refund of all sent money. I have no intention of taking advantage of anyone.

19. How will I know I'm getting my money's worth?
If you're talking about actual drawing style, this is why I'm doing a sketch a week. This way, you can keep up with my drawing ability and can decide from there if it's worth paying for in your eyes.

20. You said... "tasteful"... what do you mean by that...?
Okay... This applies to the 18+ drawings requested of me mainly... (However, in the right context, this can apply for all my drawings as well)
First off... all characters depicted/requested, MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD!
This means: NO SHOTA! NO LOLICON!
Now then... I said "Yuri/Yaoi" pairings were allowed... I will draw Yuri in most situations, as I am male. Yaoi.... is a bit different... be tasteful when requesting this please. I suppose I should call it more.... Shounen-Ai then pure Yaoi... I'll draw most of it... sans penetration and oral... Howzat? (That being said, Yaoi pics may take longer for me to draw... as it... makes me slightly uncomfortable to draw, but it is good practice for the straight pairings...)
I'll draw Futanari in some situations... Mainly only in Yuri settings...
NO GURO or anything else.... well... just plain wrong in that context... I'm not going into it, you should know what I mean... if you don't.... "2 Girls One Cup" Howzat for a reference?

21. You haven't signed on/posted a drawing in XXXXX time!
If something big happens, I will usually post a journal to that effect. I will try my hardest to adhere to the one-drawing a week rule, and will attempt to make a post each Friday by 8 PM EST, so long as nothing interferes with that. If I go on two weeks without a post, I must be unable to reach a computer for some reason. If it goes on for four MONTHS, assume I'm dead or some shit XD. Seriously though... I can't devote every second of my time to a computer. So yeah.

22. I have a different question not on this list.
Either reply to this journal or simply PM/E-mail/or DA note me. Thanks.

Blah. Knew It wouldn't Happen.
