my name is
saint howlie
and this is my faq

*game show jingle*

Hello and welcome, my little rabbits, to Howlie's big ol' FAQ time, where you, the loyal minions, get to ask me, Howlie, all kinds of nonsensical questions! Grab some popcorn and coffee, and have fun reading. Remember, if there's a question you want to ask, feel free to drop me a line. I don't bite...much. :K Some of these questions are weird, but people have asked them before. Harharhar.


this is the question
& this is the answer


......general



Hi. Uhm. Yeah. Just...hi.
Helloooooo thar. *heartheart*

You're not mean? I thought all people like you were like...scary and...yeah..
LOL no. I'm not scary, at least I hope I'm not. I'm just an ordinary human bean, just like you. Unless you're some kind of Patagonian Toothfish. o_O

That was random.
It sure was. xD

So, A/S/L???
109 ½ ; girlie ; in a var of Vegemite (Sydney, Australia)

AUSTRALIA!!1ONE
Calm down, Spot, it's a country...yeah...no, we don't have kangaroos, we decided to eat them all. The Drop Bears, we encourage. They like to eat tourists. The Drop Bears eat tourist brains ;D

...srsly?
Yes...would I lie to you?

What kind of music do you like?
I looooove U2. They aren't trashy like so many artists these days, and compose music that will last forever. They support many campaigns against the ways the world is going these days, and are great role models. Other than that, though? Okay, I love Crowded House and all affiliated of Neil Finn. I also like Green Day. Complete opposite of U2, hey? xD Yeah...sometimes I just like walls of noise. I also like Trapt and Relient K. Ehm, I'm borderline with Fall out Boy. Good melody, absolute crap lyrics. And the dude sounds like he has a cold. o_o




art......



I worship you. So can you draw me something? Pleeease?
Worship? Why would you do that? o_O But no, I can't draw you something just out of the blue like that. I don't work that way. Besides, I have a real life aaand it's kinda rude just to demand a picture, even if you cover your words with polite language xD (it's good you're being polite, but it still won't change the answer.)

So, how about an art trade then?
If your art is to die for, sure as rain. But, to let you know, I'm a perfectionist who has to work on any picture, even if it's a scribble, until it looks nice. It's the same with trades, and if I take ages on a picture and you just come back with something not equal...I feel cheated and stuff. But, if you really think you're up, send me a mail. Just remember I have a real life too and that even if you're WOAHZawesome, I could be...busy.

Commision then? D:
Hurhurhur...well, I did them once, but I've come to realise that virtual money is not equal to real time. Sorry mate.

Fine. So, what programs do you use?
I generally use Photoshop CS2. As I say over and over, it doesn't really matter which version you use, because the new versions only have a few extra bits and bobs. However, I recently downloaded OpenCanvas, and I've stuck to it like glue. There are a few things that peeve me, but I love the lineart I can produce in it, and also the watercolour tool. It's godaweosme.

Can you make a tutorial?
I tried once to make somebody a tutorial on adoptables...the only problem was that the person had never used photoshop before. It made me ramble because I wanted to be 100% clear, which it turned out, I wasn't : / I'd love to help, but I can't. I'm not a very good explainer. xD

Then can you just give me some tips on my picture?
Oh, that I'd be very, very happy to do. Send me a neomail and I'll try to reply. Just tell me if you'd like super mean, full-on critique, or just a few general tips or whatever. I don't like telling people there's loads wrong with their pictures. It makes me feel mean and grouchy. D:

Kay. So, adoptable request/trade?
As you can see from my pages, I haven't actually got any decent ones up...but when I do, I'm going to have that set, and that set only for all of my pages. But, it'll all vary depending on how many I have to get done. You know the drill.

Hey this person stole your artwork...
Thanks for telling me x3 I don't really mind art theives, because it just shows how idiotic they can be in dementing my already demented artwork xD Sure, I'll try and do something about it, but don't make a huge fuss over it.

How long have you been drawing?
Well...I've always liked making things and drawing wasn't really one of them. I was obsessed with origami o_O I could make wolves or something when I was ten xD But that fad went; I really began to draw when I was in year five because I was lonerated because I was a weird kid. (still am xD) So...four years? It's just a matter of time, patience, practise and looking at others' artworks for little ideas. Also looking at movies like the Lion King and Balto. They help heaps.

Do you have an account on *insert art site here*?
I have a DeviantART site - Howliewolf. Hey, I'm unoriginal. I also have an ArtGrounds - Howlieo. Yay, go me. xD

Do you take art classes?
No, I loathe art at school. It's always about learning about famous artists like Monet and Van Gough and eugh...that's just not me. xD I'd rather draw what I want, when I want, how I want. Lawlz.

I've been told you make pet designs for some people...

Yeah, if I'm supah bored, or if you're one of my buddies. I make designs en masse with makeables and...yeah o_O




......pets



Okay, starting, your pets' pages are awesome.
That wasn't a question, but thankz. I love you. xD

So, can I link (with patch/banner) to your pet?
Heehee, I love trades. People just take my links without asking for a trade. o_O That's good and all, but, I mean, come on, I'm not scary, I'd love to stick your link on my pages!

So how about a lookup link?
Sorry...no, that's for people I've roleplayed with. xD

um ya whatevr can i rp with u with mi lupe so they can be freinds?
.....*eyetwitch*.....

I'm sorry for that outburst of chatspeak. :) Could I please roleplay with you?
Now that's better! I love literate, advanced roleplaying. For more info, check my roleplaying section in the FAQ.

INSTA DATE WITH YOUR PET? :D
Only if it's in roleplaying form ;D It could make a really interesting start for a roleplay. No, I'm not saying my pet's in love with yours o_O

Can I please have *insert pet here*?
Naaaah.

Well, I OWN YOU. LOLOL. YOU HAVE BEEN OWN'D!!
Now that's a different story! You own my pets? Well that means I own you! You have been officially OWN'D!
(congrats if you understand this...)

Can I take/copy/mimick the design of one of your pets?
No wai. My designs. No touchie.

Can my pet be your pet's brother/sister/long lost second aunt twice removed on the father's side?
If you're an active artist, roleplayer with petpages who wants to roleplay with me and wants to formulate histories and stories and stuff whilst not disturbing my pages as they are and also have designs that don't look the same but are kind of alike...then I guess so o_O Give me a yell.




roleplaying......



*deep breath*
*takes in even deeper breath*

Roleplay, please?
Well, take a look at the chart below, read my rules...which are below even more, and if you're up for it, send me a neomail x3

pet name forms gender status
Gihao Quad Male Closed
Kypher Quad, *Anthro Female Open, Occupied
Skhul *Anthro, Human Male Open, Closed
Kenarowl Quad Male Closed
Zando Quad Male Closed
Komm Quad, Anthro Male Open, Open
Tzar Anthro, Human Male tempt me...
* - usually roleplayed together


THE RULEZ.



I'm quite a picky roleplayer. So, when you roleplay, you have to keep a few things in mind.

one. when you neomail me, please be willing to choose who you're using, who I'm using, and also want to be the one who starts the RP off. Also, if we're roleplaying quad, anthro or human.
two. also, if you'd like to roleplay over neomail, or an instant messenger, or over email. I really like roleplaying over email - just like neomail, just no filters or word limits x3
three if you have any limits yourself, do tell. If we're roleplaying in anthro/human...I like to think I'm quite a mature roleplayer, but I do draw the line when it gets into extreme violence/romance. You know what I'm talking about ;D
four. don't upset me with chatspeak and improper grammar and all. It makes me sad. ): I mean, I'm not perfect myself and no capitalisation is fine, but wen ppl want 2 rp like this, it maks me rlly sad soz but its just th way i like ot rp
five. don't get angry if I don't reply instantaniosly. I'm human, after all. o_O


THE PETZ.


I thought I should make a little bio on my characters, just so you don't have to search all over the internet looking for what their personalities are and stuff.

Gihao; Lupe. Male. Quad only. Mature, sensible, fun-loving, cynical, exaggerated, loyal. Usually found in cold places.

Kypher; Lupe. Female. Anthro and Quad. Loud, flirty, bawdy, suggestive, sensual, fashionable, fiery. Often found in nightclubs, cafés or the mechanic house. Note; usually roleplayed with Skhul.

Komm; Lupe. Male. Anthro and Quad. Sadistic, cruel, imperative, desirable, ruthless, suspicious, strong. Usually found anywhere illegal and dangerous.

Zando; Lupe. Male. Quad. Young, light-hearted, curious, naïve, peaceful, morally strong, environmental. Usually found anywhere green.

Tzaar; Lupe. Male. Anthro and Human. Charming, straight-backed, gentle, graceful, morally strong, easily hated, secretive, courteous. Usually found somewhere in his palace. Note; Tzaar is roleplayed in the Victorian Era.

Skhul; Lupe. Male. Anthro and Human. Quiet, emotionally weak, detestable, lying, miserable, brooding, vunerable. Usually found in the mechanic house, or running an errand in the city. Note; usually roleplayed with Kypher.

Kenarowl; Lupe. Male. Quad. Quiet, irritable, troubled, trustworthy, protective, rude, secretive. Usually (if not always) found in his underground cave.


Do you roleplay anything else?
Yep, sure do. I haven't roleplayed many in the following categories, but I am quite willing to have a go at them. I just can't seem to find anyone on the neoboards who is either "literate" (if that's what you label people like me o_O) or isn't uptight about all the rules and whatnot xD But yes, drop me a line. I'll roleplay all of these through neomail, but I've been warned about them before. So I'd prefer to roleplay them over email. xD

Subjects, then?
Well, I'm into the whole 'impromptu roleplaying' thing. This means that either you or I can start in any time, any location, any characters, any theme, and we'll have to comply with characters made up on the spot that fit into the location. For example, you can send me an introduction with a...rock star who's in a museum in modern times. Or a Victorian masquerade ball, and you're the character that's snuck in, uninvited. Or, a ski lodge with some person that's broken their foot. Or a medieval knight who's going to defeat the dragon. Or a loony bin with people that are in there for a reason; not because they're insane. Or a genetics lab. Anything! In other words, it's the luck of the draw. Whatever you write to me, I'll have to write back. But please, keep the main theme kind of human-ish xD

So, even if you don't roleplay, say, horror normally, you'll roleplay with me? o_O
Yep! Unless I strongly, morally and repulsively object, I'll give everything a go. But not stuff like horses. xD

So there are topics you don't roleplay.
Yeah. I don't roleplay anime, books, movies or TV shows. And I hate Harry Potter, don't even think about asking me to roleplay that. Lmao.

random stuff......



what does vegemite taste like?
It's dark brown, salty, and addictive. :9 Only Australians can handle it. To the rest of the world, it's foul and tastes like a cross between battery acid and squashed ants

what colour undies are you wearing today?
...o_o...pervert...

Some of your characters are SO emo. Are you emo?
Heck no. xD

So where are you up to in Kingdom Hearts 2?
Finished it. Not my favourite game, blah it was SO cheesy and overrated. Grand Theft Auto all the way, baby. San Andreas is love.
