It's how I live that matters

. F A Q .

  • Shamefully Zen? - It was originally "Shanefully", since it was a merged word of 'Shane' from L word (I'm a fan) & Shame. However, I don't wanna bother with people who'll stroll by and tell me, "hey, your site name's a typo!" haha. Zen's my nickname.
  • What Mediums do you use? - Besides Photoshop, its anything that would work: scrap paper, pencil I found, old blank pages, broken crayons; just about anything! You don't need fancy tools to make a fine piece of artwork. All you need is your limbs, some tools and inspiration.
  • How long does it usually take to finish a piece? - If ever I don't feel lazy, it'll probably be done in about an hour to three hours. Some pieces, which I really think are special take about ten to fifteen hours, depends on how motivated I am.
  • Can I use your piece for my site/blog etc? - Please don't. I put a lot of love and effort on every piece I make, and there's a story behind each one. So, no ^^,
  • Can I request for a piece? - For friends only, however who said we can't be friends? You can contact me on my dA
  • What inspires you to write? - Mostly everyday life or just random ideas from lying around. You know, laziness has its ups and downs, thankfully I get the ups too.
  • What's your favorite genre? - A lot of people have read my first manuscript, which is a total fail in many ways (grammar wise etc.) but still loved it because they could relate with it. Ahh, the beauty of Slice of Life.
  • What do you use to make/edit machinimas? - Other than Sims 2, I just use Windows Movie Maker - the worst tool ever to make machinimas. But if you gotta do it, you gotta do it.
  • Will you be making more? - I did 'Dead End' for a school project so I was forced to make one lol. If ever I get a good inspiration I will make another one. Then again, Lorelei will have bonus music videos on the future.
  • Where do you get most of your CCs? - I mostly get them from ModtheSims, TSR, RaonJena, Liana, and random sites I come across with. I don't subscribe to anyone though, I guess I just make do of what's available and be thankful.
  • Do you use Hacks or Modify your game? - Other than posing hacks, I don't have the guts to actually use hacks on my game. Even without hacks my laptop crashes, what kind of catastrophe would happen if I do have hacks?
  • I heard Lorelei's a lesbian story, true? - Yep, basically it's fluffy romance shoujo-ai. There'll be a lot of pairings, gay and straight too. Though I am worried about its approval in the community.
  • Why go to that extent? - I like reaching out, everything I do, art or literature has the purpose of reaching out. Making people smile or feel less lonely and all that jazz. When I was still in questioning I felt alone and scared. And I'm sure everyone felt that way one time in their lives.
  • So, you're Gay? - In a way. Gender doesn't really matter to me. I love whoever I fall for, and for the record, I always think before I let my heart fall. Oh and, by the way, I researched the Bible LOL. Thank God for love is unconditional.
  • How old are you, really? - Let's just say I'm in my early teens; I think you can estimate from that hmm...
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask in the guestbook. And remember, I don't care for grammar - just manners.
