I'll try and answer all the questions I get asked a lot.

What's going to happen next in the story (or similar questions)?
Sorry, I don't plan to reveal anything ahead of time about the comic's plot or characters, other that what I've already posted.

How often do you update?
Right now I update only on Mondays. We also have the Lord of the Parodies comic and the Chibi comic. Their update schedules can be found on the site somewhere. I'm currenlty working on another project that's making it impossible to update more than this especially while attending college.

What other project is it that you're working on?
I'm producing a comic aimed for direct print. Therefore I won't be posting it on the internet, but I still must work on it. I needed to really get busy on it and had to slow this comic's progress to get it done. (It started with and update schedule of M-W-F) But either way it has to get done, and I have a lot of other things like college I have to keep up with too.

Can't you release any more info on your other comic?
Not at this point. The story for this one isn't mine, and I'm working with a professor from my college who has connections in the comic industry. It's his story and I can't spoil anything. Sorry.

What's the meaning of "filler" strips?
Filler strips is the title I came up with for comics that deviate from the main comic's plot for something random. It's because of the term filler in anime, which is for when a story deviates from the original story of the writer so that they can feel time while the manga gets ahead of the anime. So my random, non-story elements are called filler.

Why does of the art look different in the Lord of the Parodies comic?
I started doing the beginning art for that comic in early 2004. It's getting updated by Ninya, but it's still a little different than my current style, although not just a whole lot.

What's the name OrAnIMe mean?
It does have a specific meaning, though it's a bit of a secret right now.

Can I do fan comics/art?
Yes, feel free. You can e-mail them to me.

How long does it take you to make a normal comic page?
It takes me roughly 8 hours or more to make the comic right now.

Are you ripping off any jokes?
No, as far as I know, most everything I've done is my own jokes, though I do parody other works and use common, what some would consider cliche, jokes from time to time. I know a nosebleed is cliche, but most things in some way or another have been done, and things become cliche because they're popular, so I don't really care as long as I don't take to ripping off other people's works.

Well are you ripping off stories then?
That comes down to a different premise all-together. I get a lot of influence from some of my favorite stories and anime, but I've come up with my plot myself. We live in the world of "it's already been done", so no one can create anything without someone comparing it to something else. I can't honestly say I've never heard someonething happen in a story and go "Oh sweet, something similar would help me get from point A to point B in my story".

What do you use to make the comics?
I sketch on paper first. I usually ink with and color the main comics in Photoshop. I usually design most of the backgrounds in Photoshop too rather than sketching beforehand. As for the Lord of the Parodies comic, they're inked and Ninya's coloring them with markers and colored pencils.

Is this a fanservice comic?
No, not really. There may be some from time to time, but I do find I get asked this a lot mainly because people say I draw women sexy. It can and will be there, usually depending if it can make the moment funny or add to the plot in some way, but there will not be any pointless fanservice.

Is this comic religious?
Yes and no. It deals with religion to some point, but does not go too deep into it. Similar to known comics such as Spawn that use religion as their backing, this comic will be using elements of religion as a backing, though it will likely stray from time to time from any actual religions beliefs. It's best described as a fantasy work, because it also pulls many elements from mythology, fairy-tales and post-Tolkein lore.
