Who
are we?/Contact Information
Studio
Cutepet is a two-artist team dedicated to
bringing you the hottest, most original hentai
art and comics you've ever seen. All artwork, text, and
html contained on this website were created by
these two artists. In late 1998, they launched their website, Studio
Cutepet. To date, their website has already
reached well over a million hits.
When not
drawing hentai, the Cutepet team works as
freelance professional artists. They have worked with over
100 clients on artistic projects ranging from
character designs, illustrations, comics and
more..
Have any
questions or comments? We can be contacted by
email at: .
Keep in mind that while we read and appreciate everything that is sent to
us, we are unable to reply to every email we
receive due to lack of time. Sorry! ^_^;;

Why
is this website called "Cutepet"?
Long before
we knew each other, we each had our own
individual art websites. After we met, we decided
to close our individual
art websites and make a website that featured our combined artistic efforts.
This website would become Cutepet.
Once the decision was made to combine our websites, we wracked our brains over the name.
It had to be something memorable, original, and... cute.
The first
project we worked on for the website was a site
mascot.
We ended up illustrating a cat girl with topaz eyes and
wispy white hair, loosely based on the Zodiac
sign, Scorpio. Since she was a
cute [Zodiac] pet, we called the site "Cutepet"
So the name
has no real meaning. It has a very enigmatic and esoteric air to
it. It sounds almost like a bad Japanese parody of the English language, stringing two words together into something that sounds nice, but seems utterly ambiguous within its context. Other examples of this are:
ChocolateFish, DonkeyKong, FaithfulBanana.
Cutepet is an ambiguous term (it doesn't exactly make one think about
hentai!).
But since we've been using the name for so long, it's almost become a brand name
for our artwork. I've even seen numerous people referring
to themselves as "CPers", apparently a
shorthand way of identifying yourself as a Cutepet fan.

Artwork
Usage
The images found on this site are copyright Studio Cutepet. They are NOT public domain, and therefore may NOT be reposted on other websites or newsgroup without permission. The images on this website are intended for personal viewing ONLY.
To ask permission, follow the
below stipulations:
• When you
in your permission request, include the URL of
the website you wish to post the artwork on. If
you don't have a website yet, please hold off on
asking until you create one.
• Include a list of up to three (three is the
maximum allowed) images that you wish to use.
• You
must give proper credit for the images, which includes a link back to
Cutepet, and a notice stating, "Image drawn by
Studio Cutepet". Both of these things should be near the image, not on a small,
impossible to find credits page.
• Don't use our artwork for commercial
purposes without purchasing a license. If you
intend to make money off the image, let us know
so we can quote you a price. :)
• Don't edit or change the image. Don't remove
our copyright tags or URLs, don't use the image
as a banner or button, don't resize, crop, or
otherwise manipulate the image in any way.
• Don't "hotlink" to the image.
(Don't steal our bandwidth - it's expensive!)
You must upload the picture onto your own
server.
• Don't take credit for the image or claim
that you drew it! (duh... ^_^;)
• Don't post the artwork on a Yahoo Club or a
newsgroup. Too many people believe that anything posted on
that type of public forum becomes public domain,
and our artwork is NOT public
domain.
Bottom line, DO NOT distribute or post our artwork without permission.
All it takes is a simple email, and 90% of the
time, we say yes! We work hard to produce our artwork for you to enjoy, and the worst thing
you can do is backstab us by stealing our
artwork. If anything, it's a
simple matter of respect for the artist.

How do you draw like
that?/Critique my picture!
Unfortunately, there are several factors that prevent us from offering
critiques. The largest
factor is simply the fact that we're busy with
lots of different projects, so our time is limited. We do not have the time to take on
students or critique artwork.
Here's some
helpful suggestions, though:
-Practice,
practice, practice! I can't stress this one
enough. As a self-taught artist, I can tell you
from experience that the best way to improve is
to just keep drawing and never give up. ^_^
-Observe
your surroundings! Draw everything! Draw from real life.
The curtains in your house. The clothes you're wearing right
now -- including all those wrinkles and textures.
Your hands. Draw them many times, in many different positions.
Learn how the human figure works. Go to the mall and bring a sketch book. Try drawing the people that walk by.
It takes time to get used to doing quick gesture drawings,
so if you find that they move too quickly,
there's other options. Have your family members and friends model for you so you can draw them. Buy one of those
fashion magazines and start with that.
-Try to stay away from tracing
or copying off other artwork. It may be a good
starting place to get a feel for the style, but
try to go beyond this as soon as possible, or
you'll only become a good copier. And what's the
point of drawing something that's already been
drawn?
-Art classes available at school (both high school
and college level) should give you a good foundation of the basics: line, proportion, depth,
color, design, etc etc.
To
reiterate, your best bet is
practice and dedication. That is what will help you improve the most.
There's no magic tricks or secrets to drawing,
it's just something you learn over time from
repetition and practice.
If you
want to be the best artist you can then most important thing you can do is devote yourself to your work.
This might mean putting down that new video game you bought in order to give yourself a few hours every day
to spend improving your drawings. But if you have the desire to become
a skilled artist, it's worth it!
