Questions for the Q&A
🕑 Added 2019-01-03 17:33:38 +0000 UTCI will be writing a post about my plans for 2019 soon. One of those plans is to start doing a monthly(?) Q&A video. Should be fun to do.
No topic restriction besides questions about my private life. I want to keep that private.
I am not sure how I'll pick the questions to be featured. I'll see how many/what kind of questions I'll get from you guys. So give me some good ones.

What does your earnings-model look like? Is it just Patreon or do you live off of other projects as well for example? (No need for numbers).
phubbe
How do you keep a project like Alfie running for so long? I can only imagine getting burned out after a few months, but you've kept it up for years!
Alec
Do you ever hope to put any of your works into print? I'd highly recommend indie comics publisher Iron Circus comics if so! Not an employee, just a fan and supporter!
Doac
What are some of your inspirations for Alfie's world? Anything out of the ordinary that people might not expect?
Hewdra
Hi! First of all: I adore your work ♥ Here the question: What was your first experience drawing lewds and how'd you start off/get into it? Also, why?
Quethi
Do you use any reference images for your creature designs or are they just straight from your mind?
BrendTheCow
The way you draw characters, anatomy, and especially facial expressions is wonderful. I usually feel like illustrations lose some of their “life” when they get polished from their initial sketches into line art and colors. So I guess this is a two part question, besides the obvious answer of “had work and practice” how did you learn to draw people the way you do? And, as a follow up, how do you keep that life in your work as you polish your sketches into finished pieces. Thanks for sharing, and I’m excited to see what you make in 2019!

Will you ever put out covers for each chapter proper and make character profiles with info on the main characters?
Eustacheus
Sure: <a href="https://incase.buttsmithy.com/comic/the-invitation-ch-2-p-1/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://incase.buttsmithy.com/comic/the-invitation-ch-2-p-1/</a>
Eustacheus
Who would voice Alfie, Marco, Vera, Lydia, Cillian and Ozge in a hypothetical animated movie? Who would compose the soundtrack?
ЯџВвŁэ&ẄяєςКλğẽ
Would you ever consider releasing a hardbound collection of Alfie? And does magic exist in the kindoms of men or their outskirts?
John Allen
Can we get more of the invitation?:)
Emmet Daly
Is there any other hentai artists, whos comics you follow closely? E.G Melkor Mancin or Brand and Leslie Brown
Milan Rančić
Last night, when we were lying in bad, I showed to my wife (on iPad) the entire (last) chapter with Cillian. It was basically my secret, and she didn't knew that I was reading this kind of stuff, but last nights I shared it with her, and she liked it very much! :) (the comic, not the secret) :D Although she is not into comics and fantasy... After that, we had the best sex of our lifetime! What do you say about that? :D
Zack benYosef
Another thing I was wondering: I seem to remember you saying you were tired of the Puazi CYOA and I can understand getting tired of a series. I personally love your Puazi stories, and hope you'll do more. And plans in that direction?
Zack benYosef
You do many femme "dickgirl" characters, but I was wondering if you ever did any full-on futa characters, i.e. with both sets of genitalia. I would love to see a futa-on-futa vaginal scene.
Reutermo
I have seen it multiple times here already, but I will ask it again. Any chance that you will release Alfie as a physical book?
Joshua Wolfe
You have plenty of fans of your characters and the way they develop naturally with the story. How do you know when you have enough characterization to make a character relatable? You certainly don't want the characters to be open books, narrating their actions with naked exposition, but you also don't want flat descriptions that give nothing away. How do you know when a scene has a satisfactory amount of character detail to keep the audience invested in the character's actions?
Martin
This is a great question. Some artists go the other way too, start raunchy but then pay more attention to the plot instead... Kinda like GoT but with comics.
Rodger L.
What is that webcomic called?
squarenuts
How are you able to walk the line in the Alfie web comic when it comes to the sex content? Unlike other web comics / artists that seem to feel they need to go more raunchy / have to keep pushing the boundary of their sexual artwork. (I'm not against that type of artwork, it just seems that over the years of crowd funding, some artists seem to product more aggressive content to be rewarded with greater donations)
Latissha
You used to have a higher tier on Patreon, do you have any need or desire to do that again?
Harribo
How has the Patreon been going for you, is there steady growth? Are you able to live comfortably and maybe save a little from it?
Kalatsutsi
Would you ever do a commission piece?
johnny77
Do you have sequels plans for the Good Old Times, My Debut, The Mess? Also any chances of more snippets into the Orc and Elf series? I feel somewhere between the first scene and the last scene you could squeeze a lot more.
Rork
Can you explain why you don't repost your old works in high resolution? Many from your tumblr are in my favorites, I'm frustrated ! ^^
LuLewdLu
How do go about anatomy in your comic? do you use references? I know you are busy but how about more video/stream?
aQumulate
Do you use reference material for clothes or hairdo’s for example or any other elements in your comics and where do you find them if so?
Don
Writing please.
aQumulate
Can you share a bit with us about the writing process? How do you go about it, how detailed do you work out scenarios, plots and details? Can you share a version of a script with us?
Mark Kriegh
What do you tell people you do for a living?
Donwanna Sayit
Do you plan a sequel to Alfie? And if you have decided against it, is there anything that might induce you to change your mind? Would you object to nominating Alfie for a Hugo award?
Joshua Wolfe
Yeah, he put up a map before Chapter 10. <a href="https://buttsmithy.com/archives/comic/world-map" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://buttsmithy.com/archives/comic/world-map</a>
odd-rose
Do you by chance know Stjepan Sejic? Either personally or just in general?
Les Green
What about publishing Alfie? Something similar to what Alexis Flower did with her web comic. That was highly successful. I'm sure yours would be too.
Nobilis Reed (personal)
Do you have a map of the world where Alfie takes place?
Shawn K. Younkin
He has some preview pics up on his twitter account for the second story. He is following up with it. It, of course; looks amazing already.
Balays
What’s the best part of creating your comics?
Adavis Gonzalez
Are you going to make any type of follow up to The invitation or a more in deep look in that universe the looks like a lot of potential to be one history , a horror theme whit lovecraftian elements wold be nice to see
Martin
You've mentioned we're about half way through Alfie, so you have an end-point in mind. Do you have any other large scale ideas you want to write after Alfie? Would you consider a Sci-fi theme, even an exploration of the Puazi based Earth?
Kielo Maria Maja
First of all I wanted to thank you for your amazing work. Alfie is a beautiful exploration of (female) sexuality and personal growth intwined. I would have wanted to ask about the themes you wish to tackle in the future - and also if there could be a TTRPG for the world of Alfie. I love the cultures and creatures you have developed so far. You are amazing.
Dark Kuno
Is there a particular content/fetish you refuse to cover in your artwork?
Rodger L.
Will we see Alfie get mixed up with the "voch'khari" guide Ozge?
Tetsuo
Is releasing Alfie in a book form (ebook and/or physical) in your future plans? Maybe through a kickstarter?
Yeko
Take us to the beginning! When and why did you start to draw? What inspired you to create what you do?
Martin
What're your favourite games to play? I know you did some Vermintide last year. What games are you looking forward to?
Ryan Arias-Perez
Is there anything you've wanted to make but didn't cause of people might react?
Derek Kaniowski
I'm so glad several people in this thread wants Alfie released in physical print or posters. That would be a great poster too!
ryan clelland
What has been your favourite comic to work on
Derek Kaniowski
Do you have a favorite body type when it comes to women? Do you have a favorite fantasy girl race?
Vlaphor
Any chance of Alfie merch? Or maybe high res prints of certain pages. I would totally buy a poster of <a href="https://buttsmithy.com/archives/comic/chapter-6-cover" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://buttsmithy.com/archives/comic/chapter-6-cover</a> for example.
Lee Robins
What would you say your main fetishes are?
Eustacheus
He doesn't mind. I did a german translation and you can find the HiRes version of it here on InCase's patreon. If you're a $5 patron you'll also be able to download the psd files I made, where you can edit the texts while keeping the layout. The only things you need (that are not free) are Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and the font WildWords. Hope that helps. Which language would you do?
Martin
Also, pick questions based on likes, that way you know when lots of people want an answer!
Martin
Do people in your personal life know about your art/how you make a living? As someone who wants to write, the people who are very public vs private about their works fascinates me! (Hope that's not too private and can be kept vague).
Mike
(Sorry) 🤣
Mike
Which would you rather fight: a horse-sized duck or a whole herd of duck-sized horses?
Lapin Malin
I would probably never be tired of the puazis, can we hope for the continuation of Anna Jelenko's adventures? Or maybe a sequel to the frustrating "to be continued" of My Debut? X)
Contrecoup
i would love to have Alfie as a Graphic Novel printed, will that ever happen?
Andrew Rowe
Ask away!
Tatiana
Any chanse we will see the printed book of "The Invitation" comics? My favorite so far, would love to have it
Derek Kaniowski
What do you like to do in your free time besides drawing?
Raziel011
Heyo! So as much as I love Alfie and Vera and how your story revolves around their relationship, will Lydia be getting anymore screen time? I believe the story works very with her because of the different dynamic she brings in regards to Alfie and Vera...so Lydia is my favorite character ^_^
William Page
So with the death of tumblr, have you decided on a new main home for your artwork?
Colin Brazeau
Do you mind who make the translation for your story, or you don't really mind who do that?
Khazuki
I just wanna know how far in advance you plan out Alfie.
LittleSunBoy
Have you ever/will you ever draw boys with vaginas? Love the girls with dicks, just curious
Lothian
Is there aspects of art (anatomy, perspective, composition, design, color...) you feel very confident with theses days, is there aspects that you feel you struggle with? What do you focus on the most when starting a new painting/comic page to get a result you're happy with?
Simon Delott
How do you feel about other people doing puazi art? Does it feel like they're complimenting you or ripping you off?
Shacklefty
How did you come up with the name InCase?
Laike
What got you started drawing lewds? Was it to create your own fap material or something else?
frank sands
Is there any of the characters physical appearance inspired by real people? If so, who?
Luke Caine
When it's finished, would you release Alfie in a book format? I'd love to own it.
Savon Pierre
Would you be interested in giving lessons as a patreon tier.
Shacklefty
Is there a previous Q&A you can link so that we can see if our questions have already been answered?
ZeroV60
What artists/stories inspire you?
Bluearo
What series or comics will you start or continue? And also will there be my debut 2?
Israel Benard II
What was your inspiration/references when designing the puazi's???
