Frequently Asked Questions
Why 'Kaze Works'? How do you pronounce it?
As mentioned in the About section, 'Kaze' is pronounced as 'Kaa-ze' and not in a similar sound as 'maze'. It is a japanese word/term meaning 'wind', which hopefully describes my online ID among all these years being on the Internet. 'Works' stands for the different various types of illustrational and multimedia works that I create.
Can we affiliate/ link exchange?
Sure! Please go to the Links section of the website and you should be able to find the linking details of this website. Do remember to drop me an email so I will remember to affiliate you back.
Do you take art requests or art trades?
Unfortunately NO. I do not have enough time in real life to draw 2 or 20+ free requests for everyone. Think about it and be fair, would you work in a business for free forever? Same theory for my case. If you really like my work and really want me to draw something for you, please commission me instead. Many Thanks ;)
Can I use your artwork for my own icons, avatars, site/journal?
Please ask me for my permission first (via email). 10 out of 10 you'll probably have to credit me and put my initials and website url along with it.
I think I've found some of your artwork elsewhere on the web posted by someone else?
If my art has been used by other people without giving me credit or if they've stolen, redupliated, altered, edited and/or claimed the work as their own, then please report these incidents to me via e-mail.
Please email me the link source and short description of the problem.
If you decide to deal with them yourself, please do it in a respectful manner. Please do not insult, flame or harass the person. I appreciate your help, but sometimes it may make matters worse if it is dealt in such a manner.
Can I use your commission piece to make my own graphics, icons or for personal site/journal?
If you are the one that requested the commission, yes you can. Just remember to have it credit back to me, otherwise people may think you've stolen my art.
Can I make prints or products or anything that will generate a profit from your commission piece?
NO. You may be commissioning the picture, but the rights to the image stay with me, so you cannot use it in any way that would generate profit. If you wish to attain the rights, double the price of the image and I will sign them over to you. (I do not claim ownership of any characters depicted in the image, only the actual image I draw).
