This is meant as a thread where people can ask Vanessa questions about her work.

Let's try to keep this organized and easy for Vanessa to read through, so please try to stay on topic.



anyway, I've been thinking of a couple of things, I'd like to ask Vanessa about.


1) I've always found it impressive how you manage create such great avatars for people. Have there been times where you have been really stuck trying to draw someone's avatar, or do you tend to have a pretty good idea of how to draw them when you begin?

2) You have explained how many of your characters have names that relate to a color, a flower, or something about their personality. What about Daphne Mallow? Does her name have a deeper meaning too?



that's it from me for now. I'll come up with more later, and I'm sure that there will be questions from others as well. I hope that you'll find the questions in this thread enjoyable to answer, Vanessa.

I think its because of her sweet tooth Symphony. That her last name is "Mallow" like a marshmellow. That's what I think at least, but I'm sure Vanessa will answer.


Um, my question is more for your storyline than the actual artwork. I know you have your storyline, but you have allowed members to pitch in. What all can we do to help you with storyline or character creation for the background characters?

2. did you ever go to artschool, or have any art trianing in your life, and if so how much?

It's so nice to read your answers, Vanessa.


Here's another question for you:

Are there species that you find it harder or easier to draw? I'm particularly interested in what the differences between species means for you when drawing faces.

I was thinking of asking that question!

But, yes, same question Symphony asked. :3

[LabrnMystic]

I've always been curious how much of the main story do you have preplanned out? I mean, I'm sure you know how Mary, William, Betty, etc will all do in the end, but how much of it is staged, and how much of it is on the fly?

I see you said that you allow many of the sex scenes to be made by the members, so there goes that question.

Finally, will Marco ever make an appearance in the comic, just like you, Ronald, and Martin have?

It's interesting to see the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes into the comic.

Ah, yes. Your fur is white, too, Mr. Ultima.

I was more aware of your red eyes more than your furs. It really stands out. :3

As for the who-has-the-whitest-fur-contest....we could dirty you and Mr. Labrn up with lots of mud, throw both of you in each washing machine with cleaning soap (or other way to clean clothes in the 1800s), dries you guys good, and we'll have three judges to see cleanliness and whiteness!

And the winners gets a.....gets a.....ummmmm....free....meal? ^^!

[Rune174]

This question is all too bothersome to think about, but I'm pretty sure this has a simple answer in mind. What kind of method do you use when you decide pairings between the characters during certain 'encounters' in your comic? I have'nt gone too far into the background between each character and how they relate to one another, so it makes me wonder.

A contest to see who's whiter? How you gonna do that, make them dance and see who's worse at keeping rhythm?
Just joking, my honky companions...

Anyway, I do have an actual question for Vanessa: What have been your biggest influences as an artist? I'm pretty sure you've answered this or a question similar to it before, but I simply couldn't dig through all of the old threads to find it...

I have a question, Ms. Vanessa. :3

Have you ever thought about making a tutorial for people who are interested of how you draw backgrounds or any object step by step?

Say, for example, how you draw a clock or a outdoor scenery.

[henkcobra]

You mean that the main story of bonbon is 20 comics long and than you will stop?

But what then? You are the best female artist of all I know, I don't have at the moment a male artist, maybe the best but when you will stop who will continue then? Who will keep this alive and do you have a person/ persons in mind who could continue the world of bonbon?

You don't have the answer these questions, but I got a little worried, sorry but you are so good and I don't wanna lose you.

Henk, I think you might have misunderstood what she said. After the main comic has ended, she has other comics planned. No need to worry about losing her.

I have a question for Vanessa: How do you find the time to do all of the art for the site that you do, and what else do you do as well? Do you have a timetable that you stick to?

I do hope that this site makes it to all 20 comics. I'd love to see this to the end.

Just a major question for Vanessa:

1. What is your stance on any character or fursona that some how changed genders or is now a Hermaphrodite? (The idea of my vision is woman with a penis and that 'she' is bi sexual or lesbian, and still pays.) The idea has been rattling in my head ever since I became part of the community here.

2. How do you start your drawings for each character? Do you have certain guidelines that you follow?

Here's a question for Vanessa.Considering I've lived in Japan for a few years I learned that geisha do not do their own hair they either have a skilled person do it for them or they wear a wig.That being said since the pictures of Sakura show her natural hair it gets rid of the wig theory and poses the question at large:Does Sakura have somebody from Japan that does her hair?Or does somebody at the Castle know the secret and rare art of geisha hairstyling?
