F.A.Q. These are actual questions by actual people asked in my general direction these last few years. I sort of dressed them up for comedic purposes, since most FAQs ARE BORING AND UNINFORMATIVE. -Who in the living Hell do you think you are!? Vember Judgement, AKA The November Wolf -Why so many aliases? Who or what're you hiding from? Ralph Machio. Actually, here's an explanation for each name: For years I've taken the last name Judgement , but it wasn't until I assumed the first name Vember that I decided to take what I do more seriously. I'll eventually have my real name changed to this legally, mostly for personal reasons. This whole November Wolf name is just a tribal representation of my personal beliefs. And no, I won't explain myself. But don't forget to send something nice on my Lunar birthday (first full moon of November). -You really think you're bad ass, don't you? No, I don't. If you really think I'm bad ass, cool. If you think I'm trying to be a bad ass, then you have a weak self image. - Why host a website, you're a nobody. Everybody gets to be a nobody before being somebody. How could I hope to get any attention sitting at home playing Legacy of the Wizard, drinking eggnog and watching Toon Disney? The reason I've had this terrific website created by the northern goddess Jenn is the fact that I need my presence spread like an incurable cancer. I have so much to give, so I need to see if people want and need what I got. If I'm lucky, the masses will enjoy the filthy jell spilling from my imagination and want more. If not, I'll live in mediocrity 'till the voices suggest a simple suicide (just kidding). Hopefully through this website, I can try and garner a loyal following in the art community and find great artists to work with on future comic projects. I'm already working with two great talents even before this website was created, so I hope I'm on the right track. - You got a lot on your plate...Where'd you get the time to do so much? Easy, I have absolutely no life whatsoever. Tombstone city. When a corpse like me has no life, they have a lot of time on their hands. But seriously, I'm just extremely devoted to my work. Patience Discipline and Control. 'Talent' can only go so far. -I heard you have/had some enemies... Everyone has enemies, though mine are insignificant and very easily ignored. I try to burn my bridges as best I can, though there are a tiny gaggle who continue to talk behind my back like its lunchtime in junior high school. I ignore these folks like I ignore a can of 50 cent beer. I've yet to start any war I've been involved in. Some folks choose to think I'm an easy target to be messed with because I'm a genuinely nice guy and 'not like them'. These same folks whom are surprised when I'm standing on their chests in victory. -You're fat and ugly. Probably, though for some reason a small minority of girls (and guys for some odd reason...) actually think I'm hot (which I'm not). -I saw/met you at a convention. You're creepy... Coolness^_^ I like to freak out the geezers and girlies! Seriously, some get a bit turned off my my salt and pepper personality. A few (usually elitists and snobs) would look down on me for being so 'different'. These folks I laugh at the most because most times they're too short to actually look down at me. Weaklings. Go enjoy your double mocha lattes, losers. Your so-called intellect means shit in the face of my dark primordial instincts. -I'd kill you, but... I've had a few idiot self-loathing space wasters who seriously threatened to send me six feet under in the past. You wanna get my attention, this would probably be the best way. But I'm not the kind of guy that bothers with the kind of filth who would threaten me. Fleas and wannabe terrorists. You really want to scare me, ignore me completely. Otherwise, I'll love your attention. Makes me stronger. -Why'd you call me Alice? I use Alice as a slang term for pretty women. And yes, it's a vague reference to Alice in Wonderland. I feel when a girl is actually interested in me, they soon realize my world is very much like the one below the rabbit hole... 10 Shillings, Six Pence, baby. -Why are you so disingenuous, you phony fake ass bastich? I'm not! (Do you even know what that word means?) The thing I hate the most about some people's perception of me is I'm some two faced ghetto creep. First of all, I'm bipolar, so I do have my occasional mood swings (which I've done a great job controlling without th use of drugs). Second, my personality is extremely broad, which is why my tastes differ so. Anyone take a look at my music collection can see an example of that. I'm a complex, multi layered middle of the road dilettante . Hate me, love me, never deny I exist. But please, don't assume I'm some idiot 'spic' off the street, I hate that. Fuck the ghetto, you prejudice bigot jerk off. -You suck as a writer. Your ideas suck, your characters suck, you suck, suck suck suck suck suck!!! I will put it on the record that ranting critiques such as this will be ignored. If any of you out there really feel I suck, back it up with reason and facts. Don't just commit a flame hit and run, please tell me why I suck. Don't worry, I have a very thick skin, I won't get pissed off like some unprofessional ghettoite with nowhere to go. Honest critique unmotivated by personal feelings and tastes is all I'm willing to acknowledge. -Why does it seem a lot of your story concepts predominately star more girls then guys? Simple two part answer: One , I adore the female species, I want them around me as often as possible, I can't get enough of them. Their smell, their eyes, their soft delicate skin (on most anyway). Most beautiful thing on this earth are females, and I'd give one white rose to each if it were possible. I'm a lover and a fighter. Buy me string cheese and tacos and let me kick some ass from time to time. And Two , there aren't enough strong female protagonists (or antagonists for that matter) these days. Just how many times are we gonna have to see Billy-Boy BraveHeart beat Boris Bad-Ass and save the buxom bodacious beautiful Betty Tata in a tight dress. Boring, boring, blahhhhhhhhhhhh. -I want you to hire me to draw for you because I feel you want me to draw for you... As of right now, I have no real funds to commission new artists. I'm currently spending a nice worthwhile heap of cash to keep who I have now. And even when I do have the available funds, I already have a list of artists I'd like to work with. But if you still insist, please take a long gander at the art here. If you don't feel you can do as good or better than those working with me now, don't bother. - Can I draw fan art for ya? I love your characters! Hell yeah! I've shockingly been the receiver of some fanarts in the past, and it brings me great joy to see my creations drawn up by others^_^ Any and all fanart of my characters will be put up here^o_o^ BUT ...I will not tolerate seeing my characters in sexual poses or being all Hentai nekkid and perverted. I thumb my nose at this sort of thing, I refuse it. You wanna draw my characters in a Hentai nature? Don't let me see it. If I do, I'm liable to bite your damn head off for it. Hentai is mostly crap due to misuse, 666 and lack of originality. It also doesn't help that there are so many stomach-turning Cardcaptor Sakura H Doujinshis out there. Brrrrr, that's creepy. -How were you able to get such great artists to draw for you? Three easy steps: Ask Nicely : There are artists who are available and those that are not. Find the ones that are and work with them. If you're not sure, just send them a tiny inquiry. But beware, some self-important temper mental artist might think you're 'bothering them'. Pay Them : Artists are human beings. Just 'cause they may take on certain things for free doesn't mean they'll do everything that way. Want an artist to work with you, just pay them. And pay them well for their time. Have Something They Can Work With : Just 'cause you have the money doesn't mean they will always work with you. Make sure what you have isn't crap in their eyes, otherwise it will be a chore for them. Artists work better when they enjoy what they're doing. It's not that hard in the long run. Mentors Robert R.
