Question: Who is Shuichi?
Answer: The one who runs/updates this site, me! I'm a KiSS artist and resource maker.
Shuichi, or Shuichi Haruru is the name of a character of mine, he's my Mascot.

Question: Who is Freekissforall? What's her problem with you?
Answer: She's an opportunist who likes to rip-off and steal from others; yet she sees nothing wrong with what she's doing.
Avoiding this little thief at all costs is highly advised.

Question: Where can I find your KiSS Templates?
Answer: See Templates. You will find my lovely and horrifying original KiSS templates; for being originally hand-drawn, they're at least half decent in all honesty. Maybe they just need a little more TLC. I do hope to improve in time and make better ones.

Question: Are they traced?
Answer: No! Absolutely all of my KiSS templates are original in almost all ways possible. I drew the original sketch and made the KiSS templates from that. Use them for your KiSS sets guilty free!

Question: What Programs do you use to make a KiSS template?
Answer: Good old MSPaint. You don't need fancy programs, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Question: How do I credit you if I've used your KiSS template in my Set?
Answer: You may put credit anywhere in your set, I prefer putting it in the read me file as it doesn't spam the KiSS Set.
I ask that you provide my Artist name, my email and webpage, hopefully like this example;

Simple, no? Don't forget to send me the Completed KiSS Set too. I'd love you forever if you could ~ ♥

Question: Can I make a Doll-maker/Character Generator or something other than KiSS with your KiSS templates?
Answer: No. I detest that stuff with a passion. I made the templates so that I could use them for my own KiSS, however, even though it didn't happen and I released them to the public, I have no intention on letting people use them for anything but KiSS sets.
I also wish that no-one turn them into KiSS set Doll-makers or Character-generators either.

Question: Can I change Male templates into females?
Answer: NO. Males are few as it is, leave them be! If you cannot tell apart my males from my females, please look at the symbols! Problem solved!
Male:
Female:

Question: Can female KiSS templates become Males?
Answer: Yes. I see no problem here. More men FTW!

Question: Can I post my edits of your KiSS templates on my site or a place like DA, SA, etc?
Answer: No. Keep them to yourself for private use only. Don't you dare upload them to Photobucket. If I find them on photobucket, I will report them straight away and you will be in a lot of trouble.

Question: Can I use your KiSS templates for Money Making, forum currencies, Gaia gold.. etc?
Answer: No. KiSS is fun and free, leave it be.

Question: Can I use your KiSS templates for Adult KiSS?
Answer: I have no problem with Hentai sets, I like them if they are well done enough. Just let me know about this through email as not all my KiSS templates can be used for Hentai KiSS sets. For example, no Lolli/Shota Sets on my young templates no matter how irresistible it seems. Don't forget to send me the completed KiSS set if you do make something, I'd like to see it!

Question: Can I use templates out of your KiSS Sets for my own KiSS Sets?
Answer: No. Some of the things I make are for private use only, which includes certain KiSS templates in my Sets. Leave them be!

Question: Do you take Requests for KiSS templates?
Answer: No.

Question: Can I turn a drawing you made into a template?
Answer: Honestly, no thanks. I like KiSS bases, not Pixel bases. I like KiSS Sets, not Pixel dolls. I enjoy drawing males, but, I don't enjoy drawing males just so they can be gender fucked by someone else. None of you can guarantee me anything. So no, no and no.

Question: Will you Host my templates if I ask nicely?
Answer: If you'd like your templates hosted freely, see the KiSS Café, Eph will host them if you don't have a web page of your own. You may also sign up with DeviantART.

Question: What Programs do you use to make KiSS?
Answer: I mainly use programs like, MSPaint, D-pixed, WSVC, Gif2Cel, NotePad, PlayFKiSS & Direct KiSS. As of 2010 onwards, I've been using WSVC, D-Pixed, PlayFKiSS & Direct KiSS.

Question: How do I make my own KiSS Set?
Answer: There has always been more than 1 way to do it, I happen to have 2 tutorials available on my site that you may use to help or guide you. See Tutorials. I also recommend seeing other KiSS Artist's web sites for tutorials. They're probably much, much better than my own! XD

Question: What is an Expansion Set?
Answer: It is an add-on created for the original KiSS Set. It may feature more clothes, hairstyles and accessories for the original KiSS Set in which it was made for. Expansion sets cannot work without the original KiSS Set.

Question: What do you consider to be Adult?
Answer: Firstly, visible Nipples and genitals, like a Penis for example, on a KiSS template is not adult to me, we all have that stuff whether we like it or not. Gore and Cussing are also not that adult to me but it really depends on how much there is. Alcohol and Drugs, depending on the focus of them can be safe and adult. But things like Sex Toys, lots of bondage, and sex itself is something I would consider to be Adult and not for the light hearted. Just be careful how explicit it is.

Question: Can I edit your KiSS Set and add more clothes?
Answer: If you would like to make an expansion set for one of my Sets, feel free too, and if you could, please send me a copy so I can joyfully use it and perhaps add it on my KiSS page, along with your details, if you don't mind. If you intend to edit my entire set and release it as your own KiSS Set, my answer to you is no. I do not like my sets being edited and re-distributed like that. There are some things that were only made for private use.

Question: Can I make an already finished KiSS set by you into a Adult Set?
Answer: No. I don't like seeing my sets edited and re-distributed. As I said before, expansion sets are fine though.

Question: Can I use some of your Clothes designs from your KiSS Sets?
Answer: Email me first ~ I should be notified about this before hand.
I happen to be original at most, I don't copy designs at all or on purpose.

Question: Can I Screen-shot a KiSS Set of yours and use it as my Character Design or use it as a Picture of my Character?
Answer: No. I do NOT make Doll-Makers or character generators; get that straight.
My Sets are a means of Fan-art and Original art only. That's all.
I will not tolerate anyone taking from my sets for their own uses, especially without me knowing.
Taking from them is Art theft. Leave them alone or go make your own.

Question: I have a KiSS Set request, will you make it?
Answer: I do not take up requests. Go make it yourself, I do have tutorials! It's not hard at all!

Question: Will you help out an Artist having KiSS troubles?
Answer: It's best if you visit Otakuworld and look around in the Forums, there's plenty of helpful stuff there. I'm pretty useless myself.
