FAQ

Last updated 16/07/2024

Who are you?
I am average 20-something Australian man living and working on unceded Gadigal land (Sydney, NSW).

What do you do?
I am a comic artist, illustrator/painter, and writer. At the moment, Patreon is the only source of consistent income I gain from this so I also work an unrelated day job. I also have a Bachelor's degree (hons) in biomedical science and a million additional hobbies.

How do I contact you?
Please email me at aschweinsberg.art@gmail.com as I don't answer DMs anywhere else!

Are you open for commissions?
Currently I am closed for commissions. I may announce occasional, limited openings here and on Twitter/X. If you've got a special project in mind, shoot me an email at aschweinsberg.art@gmail.com.

What programs/tools/hardware do you use?
Software: Clip Studio Paint EX, Rebelle 5, Blender
Hardware: Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K), iMac (2017)

What brushes do you use?
My paintings made in CSP largely use this gouache brush set. For digital watercolour I use some Kyle watercolour brushes and the default "realistic watercolour" set. Most of my inking is done in this pen. I'm also a fan of this Xerox pencil brush. I usually tweak my brush settings and add textures to them.

Can I publicly repost your artwork?
No. Usage for anyone who has bought a commission from me is outlined in my commissions TOS. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about this.

Where do you post your art to?
At the moment I only share new work to Twitter, Instagram, my portfolio website and Patreon (here). Any of my art found on Reddit, Tumblr, Furaffinity, DeviantART, Imgur, Pinterest, forums/imageboards/boorus etc is not posted by me and is there without my permission unless otherwise stated. Commissioners following my TOS are exempt (as above).

Where can I buy your art as a shirt/print/sticker etc?
I sell merchandise at a few local Australian furcons. So far I've appeared at FurDU and Aurawra. I have plans for an online shop at some point, but merch isn't my main focus. Overseas con appearances may happen in the hopeful future.

Do your pages have an age restriction?
My Twitter account is generally 18+ as I sometimes post or retweet sensitive content and it is not always tagged. Occasional NSFW and sensitive content posted to Patreon is usually tagged in the description/title. Patreon has its own age restriction rules that need to be followed.

Does Wyvern have an age restriction?
Wyvern is rated (Australian) MA15+. Appropriate content warnings will be supplied.

What is the release schedule for Wyvern on Patreon?
I plan to make it available to download chapter by chapter in PDF format. At the moment there is no schedule.

Will Wyvern be released on other websites or in other digital formats?
I am planning to release it outside of Patreon depending on how things work out after the launch. An EPUB version will also be made available if I can figure that out.

Will Wyvern be released in print?
If I can find someone willing to publish it as a book, then yes.

Can I make fanart of your characters?
Yep, absolutely.

Is this artwork a reference to XYZ?
I don't know. Are you a reference?

I want to get into the Gundam franchise. Where should I start?
Watch the original 1979 anime. If you're short on time then you can watch the film trilogy instead.

What's this about a snake?
I own a Children's python (Antaresia childreni) named Baby. She is about 4 years old now and just over 100cm long. Antaresia are the smallest members of Pythonidae.

Bye Baby!
