Frequently Asked Questions
Alright... so you have a question and that is why you are here... right? Unless you were just bored or something. ^^U Heh... yeah...*ahem* Anyway, before you ask... read the below first to see if any of your questions have been answered already or not. Alright? ^^ Good!
----------------------------------------------------------
Why the name "Black Magic"?
Well you see, the original title of Black magic was Black Mail. It was dubbed so by a good friend of mine, Su. The name stuck to it for a long time, and I still prefer to call it black mail. So, why the change in name? Well, While out on a anime shopping spree, I cam e across a popular hentai called... Black Mail. So, I didn't want to have the same title as a hentai but I wanted to keep the same initials for my manga. BM. So, I considered this. The story involved much magic or Maho, so I figured that since magic started with a "m" why not just call the manga "Black Magic" instead of "Black Mail"? And it worked! Yep. And that is why it is called Black Magic. ^^
But there is already a manga called "Black Magic".
-_-U Yes... I kinda found that out about a year or so after I started this webcomic. It's not like I can just change it's name after a years worth of work you know. So... tough luck. It's called Black Magic and that's final! If it bugs you that much then go away. ~_~
Your story doesn't make any sence!
Well, that is probably because you didn't read from the begining or read carefully. It's a pretty complicated story after all. ^^U I try to make it as easy to understand as possible though.
Why do the characters have such strange names? I can't pronounce them!
Because I want them to. If you can't pronounce the names, go to the characters section and look it up. *sweat*
Can I talk to you on AIM?
If you are not one of my school friends...that I LIKE to hang around... then no. Sorry.
Why not?
Because I tend to not be a great "people person" if you know what I mean. Expecially on-line. I can be kinda rude to strangers, and alot of times I don't mean it. So just save us BOTH the trouble by not talking to me through AIM or any other instant chat system. Thank you. ^^U
Can I link to you?
Of course you can! Just take a banner from the link section.^^
Will you link me back?
No, sorry. I prefer to link up to sites that I enjoy other than feel obligated to link to. ^^U
How do you link up?!
If you don't already know how to link people up to your own site... just don't bother to link me, alright? I don't have time to deal with things like that.
Will you do a commission for me?
Er... a heh.. as much as I would love to.. I feel unready to do commissions just yet. Perhaps in a few years or so.. then yeah.. But not yet...
Why don't you update sooner?
Well, you see... I have this thing I have to do usually. It happens everyday. It's called my life. I like to go out sometimes and I have other things to do besides just sit around and update this site all day everyday. Please just be patient and check back every now and then to see if I have added something new or not yet. Got it?
What is your REAL name?
I'm not telling. I have my reasons.
Why do you write/draw Black Magic anyway?
I do this in order to fill that empty void in my life caused by lack of anything exciting happening around me to get involved with. In otherwords... so that I won't be bored all of the time.
I have some ideas for your web comic!
Good for you. I really don't care to hear it. The storyline for this web comic has been written out over a three-year span and I'm not going to alter it. Thanks anyway.
How do my donations help the heros of Liyang?
Go back and read the DONATIONS page please.
How long does it take to make each page?
Forever. Ha, I kid you not. It takes me forever to actually draw the damn comic page (cause I'm so lazy. I usually only draw them in school... makes it harder over the summer breaks *sweat*)
then, being the lazy ass that I am, I skip the inking and go straight to the scan and color part. Cause I'm good like that. :3 Scanning is only a few minutes but the coloring can average out to
about 2-3 hours... if I'm not doing other crap at the same time as I'm coloring... like answering questions in the F.A.Q. -_-U
Will the guardians of Liyang ever recover all of their souls?!
Don't ask me. Read the damn comic.
What is a "Dead Art Day"?
A Dead Art Day is a page I post on days where the next comic page is unavailable (on it's schedualed date of course). I use them to inform the readers about why there is no comic update
on that day or if there will be no updates for a long period of time. Basically, just to let the readers know what the hell is going on. Got it? Good.
Why do you have so many Dead Art Days?
.........I try to have a life. Sometimes that throws off my comic updates.
Can I send you some Fan Art I made?
Of course you can. But please wait until I get my fan art section up and running. Thanks.
Why don't you have more comic specials?
It takes a lot of time for me to make a special, not to meantion that I need the time to make the special AND keep the regular comic update on schedual.
But you have 24/7 to make a special and run the comic! That's more than enough time cause you only update twice a week!
....You know what? Fuck you. I don't have to do this. I have a life to live and shit to do. Don't like it? Tough.
You're a bitch.
So I've heard.
Why aren't your specials in color or only partially in color?
Please look three questions up. Thanks.
I have the same name as one of your characters! That makes me that character, right?
No. Grow up. -_-
Can I draw a page for you while you're gone/on vacation/not updating?
No.
Are you going to have any Black Magic merchandise?
Eventually I will, but not yet. Perhaps if Black Magic gets to be more popular or someting... or if enough people request it.
How can I request that you make some merchandise?
E-mail your suggestion to me. Read the contact page first though.
Why is your gallery at Deviant Art?
I find it easier to add my art there instead of here.
Will you watch me on Deviant Art? I have an account too!
No. I'll watch who I want to watch. Thanks.
