-Okay, first I must ask where you got the idea for the ~Pink Girl Undies~ product? I think it's so funny, I show up to a chat wearing those and so many people are like <_> Uhm... :D
LOL those undies...actually i wanted to make the "baby look" for my avatar so I wanted something that kids wear and found this mesh thought it might give more baby look to the whole baby outfit idea :D
-Where does most of the inspiration for your products come from?
Umm usually from the web or from other products i see in the catalog and rarely from my real life clothing :)
-How do you design/texture your products? (Tablet, mouse, etc.) Why?
Mouse. I kinda don't like my tablet hard to control, maybe I'm just used to the mouse not sure but i just love mouse xD
-In your opinion what is the best program to use for texturing? Why?
Photoshop, but other programs are probably great too never tried something else except for PS so I'm not sure ^^
-What is the best thing about being a creator?
When i feel bored i just go through the catalog and always find what to derive from so I'm not bored a lot ;)
-At any point did you feel like you should give up? If so how did your over come the feelings?
No, I never thought I should give up, sometimes I work on something and the end result is not what I was hoping for I just close everything wait until I feel like developing something else and that's it I never gave up and wont :D
-Are there any techniques you use in real life to help you develop on IMVU?
I never actually thought of that probably no lol
-Do you have any secrets about developing :O?
Umm I don't think so i just make the textures and submit no secrets xD
-Any advice for beginning creators?
Nothing stays the same. if your first shirt isn't like what you hoped it to be just keep trying, using diff techniques until u get something you are happy with, everything takes time, same thing in real life too of course when i see my first products I'm all shocked, my texturing skills improved a lot since then! <:
-Do you stick with any particular style(s)?
No, never sometimes I love dark and Gothic style sometimes I love all pink and girly, I'm always in the mood for something else :D
-Who are some of your favorite developers?
There's a lot......umm Nikka77 - love her heads a lot!, ClearWing, Annasassin, Lumina, CorpseDolly and a lot a lot more xD
-Do you feel it is a competition between you an other fellow developers?
I don't even have to think about the answer, NO. I don't compete i just love developing, I love using Photoshop its all for fun nothing else :)
-On a more serious note:
What do you think about the art stealing that has been happening in IMVU lately? How do you think IMVU and IMVU users could put a stop to this?
I just don't understand those people...there's a huge difference between making your own art and stealing others, when u steal you know its not yours and wont be, you didn't make it, I wouldn't want something that doesn't belong to me not here and not in real life :s but we cant stop anyone from stealing if they want to, people should know by their self what is wrong and what's right.
Do you think IMVU could have a better Creator Program? What would they need to change?
I cant think of any new changes I'm not good with ideas but i think they should I bet there's a lot of things they could think of.. :)
