The FAQ of doom!1- What’s the origin of your nickname?Well, firstly, I used to call myself Selene18. Whilst browsing some Sailor Moon sites, I saw the name “Selene” and I loved it, so I nicknamed myself as such. The “18” thingie is because at the age of 18 I learnt to handle a computer and discovered the vast world of Internet. Yes, a little too old (compared to the ones who handle a PC since they tender childhood) but as I always say, better late than never. Later on I adopted “Selene18 Darkside & Zuster”. Both “Darkside” and “Zuster” come from “clans” I joined along with some friends of mine. On a side note as well, “Zuster” means “sister” in Dutch.
2- What’s your drawing and colouring style?My colouring style is anime cellshading, a style I always yearned to learn. My drawing style, on the other hand, it’s hard to define. Could be anime, could be a little American. Could be a little of both… or it could be something completely different! However I can’t deny I still have traces of my ancient Saint Seiya influence.
3- What software do you use to draw?I use three: Manga Studio for sketching (whilst on PC) and inking; SAI for colouring and Photoshop CS5 for retouching and adding special effects. On the traditional side, I sketch with pencil and ink & colour with my fabulous copics.
4- What inspires you to draw?Could be anything.
5- Do you trace?NO! I’d never do such lousy thing in my life! I drew almost all my life and always did it freehanded. I never needed to rely too much on outer sources, unless for inspiration or references (if the pose is way too complicated).
6- Don’t you do commissions?Yes, I do. Please look
here or in my "Donate" box above, on which I have posted prices and samples of my works.
7- What languages do you speak?Spanish is my mother tongue (I am Venezuelan) but I also speak English and French. Feel free to speak me in any of these languages.
8- What do you love to draw?I adore drawing yaoi and men. I do draw women from times to times to keep my skills sharp, though. But don’t expect me to always draw hetero, hentai or ecchi stuff. It’s just not my thing.
9- Your men look way too exotic… what are they?They belong mainly to two original projects of mine: Magic City and Royal Flush. The first one is about “gijinkas” amusement rides and main specie is called “humanoid”. The second one is about fantasy elves called “klownys” and their races are based on playing card designs (spades, clovers, diamonds, Jokers and hearts).
10- You seldom draw humans. Why is that?I prefer fantasy and exotic races. It would be a little boring for me if I always drew humans. However I do have a few OC’s and fanarts featuring humans ^_^
11- What anime series do you love?I used to be a Saint Seiya fan, but not anymore. I enjoy doing occasional fanarts but I’m not in the fandom anymore. On the other hand, I enjoy other series such as Sailor Moon, Yakikate Japan, DragonBall Z, Rurouni Kenshin, Saber Marionette, among others. I’m not thaaaaat anime fan, but I still enjoy it.
