babydollsaremanlier asked: Hi Shilin! :D I've been following your manga for a while (and have fallen behind because I tend to procrastinate alot.. forgive me) and I've had the awesome pleasure to meet you at the Otakuthon last year (you probably don't remember me, but that's okay :) ) and I must say I'm in love with Veloce and Blackbird <3

what’s the point of fan mail ?_? what’s the difference between that an ask… it looks kind of like a way to contact someone who disabled asks (which basically ruins the point of disabling asks anyway) or a way to get an answer without being posted on someone else’s tumblr… why didn’t they just enhance asks and let the askers choose whether or not they want...

superlote asked: Hiya. I'm not gonna lie, but I'm barely keeping up with your manga-- I haven't been too interested in any manga lately, much to my chagrin, as I want to be a manga-ka as well. (Btw, good job on the style and such) I'm not so much concerned about getting the manga-style down because I know I'll get there, but moreso concerned about how I'll form a story. You see all...

lei-xing asked: Hi, I've been in the shadows a lot but I've been admiring your art for years now. I was wondering as someone that composes music and creates visual art, do you think it's more difficult to paint the feeling of a song or compose the emotion of a drawing?

jamuko asked: This is quite a while late, but I just wanted to thank you for sending me a print with your artbook even though I had just missed the pre-order deadline. ;; It was very kind and I really appreciate it! When I received the book, I completely lost myself in it as I browsed all of your wonderful works. I actually forgot time was passing as I was so deeply absorbed into it. It's been a while...

acerbus-deactivated20120129 asked: Shilin, you are a true inspiration to me. what inspires me the most is that you've had your Blackbird...or Carciphona idea for awhile and you got your ideas on pages published. that is my dream also! to pour my imagination in a story and publish it. so umm what i wanted to ask is that: do you have to fairy "wealthy" to publish works? i'm a minor, don't have a job, but my...

blakka-no-peeji asked: Sorry for the rudeness (and I know that you have heard this many times), but I must say that your stile is AMAZING! Your illustrations contain exactly what I'm looking for: the linearts/scraps(especially the style you use for the faces), which are similar to the one I do in this period(anyway compared to yours, mine are so creepy ;A;). I discovered your art only few minutes ago but I can say...

drops-in-sea asked: Shilin! I can't tell you how much you're a inspiration for me since it is always a dream of mine to get my own manga published. I'm curious of why you don't try to sign on with a bigger publisher like Yen+ to circulate your work. They can get your stuff to a much wider audience and you don't have to pay yourself for all the copies. With your talent I'm sure...

maue-nontaparallel asked: I started reading Carciphona because of all the beautiful artworks you painted. But when I compared Veloce from the manga to Veloce from the illustrations, I was somewhat confused because she looks much more mature in the illustrations. Has Veloce in the manga just not yet reached the age she has in the illustrations? (I'd be less confused then ^^) I hope you'll answer my question (and I...

bloodroseangel asked: Sorry if I'm being a pain with this question... but regarding what you said to the person who asked you about how difficult/unrewarding it was to make a manga, where you said a lot of the work is in world- and character-building, would you say it would be easier to be making a manga based on a novel you've already written, since you've got the background details all in place, or...

seraphic-lotus asked: Hi Shilin, I was wondering if you have any experience with trademarking or copyrighting your artwork in order to protect your pieces from design/art theft and your advice. Did you have to go through some sort of legals process when you published your artbook and manga with your printing company or when selling?

lkrecic asked: You had said that drawing a manga is one of the most unrewarding projects you can bring upon oneself. Could you elaborate more on why that is?
These are just my personal opinions which, as always when it comes to art, are subjective and not backed by known facts/education, so please don’t take the following too much to heart:
Creating a manga series takes a very very...

shiku-reminisce asked: Hello I am planning on making the start of my first in progress manga and see as you are a mangaka (I'm inspired by you) I want to ask did you ever have anyone help criticize you manga because I feel that I want to make my story appealing and have different opinions. What are some advice you can give about before drawing the actual thing? (P.S. Love Carciphona i read it every time it's...

narkissaart asked: I'm in the process of making my first art book. Since you have made some art books before, I thought I'd ask you: do you print on both sides of the pages or only the front?
