Hey gang! I’m going to be Q&A/drawing stream Friday of next week, as part of Digital Villainy Summit. I’m really excited, and also VERY NERVOUS :D

Jill will be reading me a lot of questions from the stream chat, but in case there’s a lull in those I’d also love to sprinkle some patron questions throughout. So comment on this post with whatever questions you’d like to hear me answer! Even if we don’t get to your question during the stream, I’ll go back and answer the ones I missed afterwards.

The stream will be Friday August 29 from 18:30 ET – 19:30 ET (22:30–23:30 UTC). The Digital Villainy Summit con organizers have added a lovely schedule page to their site with local time converters, so when in doubt check that!

Have you ever thought about doing more Longform comics? If so what are some settings/things you'd want to do?

MitchellTF

Are there any characters you want to go back to? Like Succubus Tongue, or James Bond Sharkgirl?

What would be your favourite characters you have worked on?

Not Fenimore

Do you have any foundational TF media you'd recommend?

Mr_0182

Of any creatures across all mediums would you like to draw in the future and which creatures you don't like/refuse to draw?

Jill and I actually have a big spreadsheet full of prompts for Vivid Shadows, and we like looking up obscure creatures from folklore to add in! Right now I'm excited to draw some kind of monstrous clown, I think that could be fun to explore in my style. There isn't anything that I would absolutely refuse to draw. There are a bunch that I just wouldn't be super excited about, like I'm not really into shortstacks so goblins and kobolds aren't really interesting to me. Some animal types are also often used to kind of demean or de-power characters, like pigs or cows. Again I think I could come up with ways to draw those that would be more fun for me, but it wouldn't be high on my list.

Some of my personal foundational ones are Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, Bartok the Magnificent, Ben Ten... There are also some movies that I think tap the same vibe as TF, where the villain unleashes some monstrous power at the final confrontation. I was fascinated by stuff like The Road to El Dorado, where the priest guy does a ritual that gives him control over a giant jaguar statue and drives him kind of crazy and feral with glowy eyes. Or the disney Atlantis movie, where the bad guy gets infected by the magic power crystal that turns him into a corrupted monster. Not one-to-one for my stuff like Zombie Island or Bartok, but still very informative.

My xenomorph gal Tala is up there. Rita the werewolf and Vara the cult leader are also all timers. I kind of have a short attention span as an artist, where after drawing one character a few times I get kind of bored with them and want to design a new one. Designing characters is kind of my favorite part lol. Right now I'm also really happy with the characters Jill and I made for Tales from the Facility. They were really fun to monster up!

Kind of! I've been enjoying the throwback character redraws I've been doing here and there, where I revisit them after a few years to see how my skills have changed. I get kinda bored with characters and move on kinda quickly, so I need some time to come back around to them. I'd love to revisit Tiberia the shark girl sometime, she was a lot of fun. Maybe April, the dinosaur taur girl from Shifts 1?

Honestly, no not really haha. Comics are a TON of work. And my artistic attention span is pretty short, after I draw a character a handful of times I start getting bored and wanting to draw something else. I have a ton of respect for people who make long comics, but I don't think I'm built for it. That said, I am pretty intrigued by the possibilities of visual novels. You can make a visually interesting interactive stories without as crazy high an amount of work. So I may try to tell some longer-form stories that way.

MitchellTF

Oh now that is interesting.
