01.What is your pen name?
Sanchu, EIQGOT (or sometimes just EIQ which means “Evil imp queen goddess of torture†and Sawyer.(sawyer is my real name though o.O)
02. What made you choose this name?
Well for Sanchu it’s cuz my nickname back in ze days of high school was Sansan Koneko (or just sansan) and my husband’s nickname was Chucka-chucka Chuchu (or just Chuchu) and then I formed it together to symbolize that we were forever together and made “Sanchuâ€(in all honesty that’s more of a username then pen name)… Evil Imp Queen Goddess of Torture, goes back to when I was in middle school though, cuz that’s what I was  ahahahaha it’s also my character’s being (explain one day…maybe… thru interpretive dance jk) …Sawyer is my real name, kinda, and I sign all my art with it.
03. Do you use PC or Mac?
PC, I hate macs to no end! After dealing with them for 6 yrs there are tons of downfalls with them that a lot of peeps don’t realize, like customizing, it’s a bitch to do anything your own way on it. Although I give it props on nice looks and such. Vista (rather the version I have) isn’t as bad as many may think, you just have to get use to it and find your way around. It’s easy and convenient once you get it though.
04. What programs do you use most often?
I use many programs but I also do studio art a lot too… Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator, (or manga studio for well mangas ) Indesign for layouts and such…. I do a lot .
05. Do you use mouse, or tablet?
Wacom Tablet and mouse.
06. What color or color combinations do use?
What ever is best suited for the art. (it’s all about atmosphere, lighting, and characters)
07. What part of a picture do you put most effort into?
I put a lot of effort all over… maybe hair, face, position, clothes, lighting… all over man.
08. How long does it take you do draw a picture?
Just to draw, it takes maybe an hour for rough sketch, for chibis five to ten mins for rough sketch. For the whole finished work it takes a bit of time especially with Traditional.
09. Do you keep your rough drafts?
All of my art are cherished even if they suck, because they carry a piece of me and a memory.
10. What font do you use most often?
I ADORE the Comic Sans!!! (like Marrie) but I also enjoy Sans serifs. I love tons of typography.
11. When you scan your image, what DPI do you use?
If I want it to be for life size then 300 DPI but for web use it’s decreased to 72 PPI
12. Do you do anything else when you're drawing?
Mindedly so, I always multitask when drawing. The multiple things I do, helps alleviates stress that could be caused by the disproportions of the art that could be made, yet the art balances out the atmospheric conjunctions of the other things I attend to.
13. Approximately how many pictures do you draw in a month?
Plenty. Enough to fill out half a sketch book of 150 pages, but only a good selected few end up going to Traditional or Computer, this is not counting the animations, paintings, or Crafts I make.
14. What kind of paper do you draw your pictures on?
I use all forms from cold press paper to hot press to rice paper to canvas or Bristol, it all depends on what I want to do.
15. What kind of paper do you use for rough sketches and drafts?
Sketch books of Hot pressed paper. (or whatever paper is around me even tissue paper)
16. How long does it take you to ink something?
Depends on how detailed but perhaps…1-3hrs.
17. Do you do comics, or fan comics?.
I work on secret comics never to be posted for my own secret mission hahaha. I only do fan stuff if it’s requested or if I truly absolutely love it… and even then I don’t.
18. Do you like comics? Are they fun to make?
Yes very much so, I adore comics but not to the point that it’s going to put me in debt (*stares sternly at “otakusâ€* be responsible) they are very fun to make and it takes tons of work… but after you’re done it’s all worth it. ^-^
19. Have you ever submitted anything to a magazine?
I have! I even submitted an art to Toonami back in the day and I felt embarrassed yet happy, it filled my heart with joy, that in high school, I use to do pics for the school newspaper, then I moved on to a military news paper known as the “globeâ€. Etc.
