Questions and Answers

Q_ What's this?!
A_ In a nutshell, this comic is: Shinigami, drama, action, and, from time to time, gratuitous sexuality and sappy romance. In ways, it has a little bit of everything, from pretty guys to dark monsters to seemingly common schooling. But it's certainly not limited to those things. We'll be going everywhere. And we're going to make some people cry.

Q_ What do you use to make this comic?
A_ PaintTool Sai, Photoshop, and a Wacom Graphire4, my three best friends. Fonts come from everyplace, including my hands. I made the logo with textures from CG Textures and a very nice font called "James Fajardo".

Q_ Where d'ya get all those fancy tones/textures?
A_ EVERYWHERE. Some are my own. (I carry my camera places in hopes to shoot a nice texture!) Others are from Stock.xchng, deviantArt, CG Textures, and more. A lot of them are somewhere on the Links page. It's hard keeping up with all of them - I have a massive resources folder and lots of bookmarks.

Q_ Will Lovefeast ever be published?
A_ Maaaybe. We'll have to see what happens. In all likelihood, it would be self-published. I like physical comics, too.

Q_ What time does it update, approximately?
A_ Either at 11PM CST on update days (currently Tuesday and Friday), or later in the day.

Q_ How the hell am I supposed to keep track of this comic?!
A_ You can use RSS! RSS, or "Really Simple Syndication", is used by many sites now, feeding updated content to viewers through feed readers. I have links to my pages feed wherever you see this icon. You could also follow updates via Livejournal, Twitter, Tumblr, or other webcomic-tracking sites listed on the Support page.

Q_ How long would you say the comic will run?
A_ I'd say for a long time. So far, there's no planned ending.

Q_ Do I have any layout alternatives while browsing this site?
A_ You're just in luck! The set of thumbnails near the top of the sidebar (on the front page) or at the bottom of the page (everywhere else but the archives) allow you to switch between different site skins I've made for you.

Q_ The top navigation in the archives disappeared! Wha happen?
A_ The top navigation purposely doesn't display while you're reading the comic. Presumably, you won't need it while reading. However, if you do, a quick visit to the Archives page brings it back. The top navigation will always display on the Archives front page, Archive pages listing, and Thumbnail pages listing.

Q_ Is Lovefeast your only comic?
A_ Nope! I had so many ideas over time, I just had to start drawing more than one. Millennium, my original fantasy comic, has been more or less running since 2003 and has a long life ahead of it.

Q_ Where did you get the idea for Lovefeast?
A_ I wanted to write a story with lots of gay men in it. I also wanted to use a concept (death gods) that does not have a ton of history, at least for the way it's perceived today. The idea eventually turned into something much more, serving as a great motivator to looking into serious issues, world cultures, and history. Parts of the comic will be both serious and silly at appropriate times, but most importantly, I want it to be genuine.

Q_ Where else can you be found?
A_ How nice of you to ask! I am most active these days on sites like Blogger Twitter, Tumblr, and deviantART, though admittedly I update my comic sites more often. Check the author page if you want to get even more stalkerish and maybe even email me!

Q_ Do you do commissions?
A_ Yes! Feel free to look into it!

Q_ What are your policies regaring usage of art on this site, et cetera?
A_ Take a look at the Special Thanks page -- there's a big Terms of Use section and other things of note.

Q_ What does [term] mean?
A_ Check the glossary!
