I am drawing Slanted Mind as a hobby, I am not drawing it for you. |
Feedbacks and giftarts are the only rewards I get from drawing Slanted Mind, so they are greatly appreciated *hinthint* ;) |
I will draw and update at the pace I damn want. |

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions I often get these questions, so here are the answers. |
||
|
|
||
| 1) Why does Thanat have a cross on his forehead? Nobody never even ask about it in the comic! | Hahahaha you're all so curious! Well you won't get an answer here because that's part of the plot for the second part of SM! And... nobody asks about it in the comic because... even I didn't know why he had that cross on his forehead at first so I didn't know what to do with it!. And anyway, the plot for the first part of SM isn't about his cross. | |
|

| 2) What are these things on Meros's cheeks? They're always there! Are they scars? | No, they're not scars. It's more like a permanent blush... It's my own way of drawing that. Kind of like the 'z' on Ash's cheeks (Pokémon) or the ' " ' on the Sailor Moon girls cheeks. It's a "style" thing... Yeah... | |
|
|
||
| 3) When will you update the comic next? | Honestly, I don't know. I draw SM pages whenever I feel like it, and sometimes, I just *don't* feel like it. For very long periods of time. And I won't update to put only 2 or 3 pages. I always wait until I have at least 6 pages to update. Patience is a virtue they say. | |

| 4) Why don't you update faster?! | *sigh*
Because.

| 5) Have you ever gotten pulished? | No, and honestly, I am quite surprised to even be asked. I cannot deny it is some sort of a dream, I would love to get published, but I do not believe my current works are good enough. | |
|
|
||
| 6) Are you a lesbian? | Believe it or not, I sometimes get asked this, or then people seem to imply that I am a lesbian when they write/talk to me. The answer is NO, and I believe I am A LOT more heterosexual than you imagine. Hahahaha. I fail to see the logic in "I draw homosexual men, therefore I am a lesbian" ??? I really don't get the reasoning. I understand this reasoning much better though: "I like men and men only, so I'll draw a comic about men and... men. *hinthint* ;P | |
|
|
||
| 7) Will you draw something for me? I can pay! (Do you take commissions?) | No, I'm sorry. I'm not a professional artist and I'm not aspiring to become one, I have a stable career and a pretty decent salary, I don't really need extra income, but thanks for the attention ;-) | |

Extra Slanted Mind Info THE TITLE "SLANTED MIND" Slanted Mind is a weird title, isn't it? At first, the story was supposed to show how confused the characters really were; it was supposed to show how much thinking is hard when love is involved; how much biaised minds can become... But I discovered along the way that I like lame jokes and story twists, so my comic is full of those now. I hope the idea of "slanted minds" is still present though. |
COLLEGE The term "college" is often used. Know that where I live (and, therefore, in SM too), college is DIFFERENT from university. I repeat: COLLEGE IS NOT UNIVERSITY. College is in fact a separate school that you HAVE to go to before going to university (right after high school), and it lasts 2 or 3 years, depending on what you are studying there.
|
NAMES The names of all the charcaters of SM were inspired by firends, greek gods or people I met. For more details, go see in the "characters" section: everything is explained there.
