Anonymous asked: Ehya Mod, so you are going to Manchester con? Do you think you'll do some sort of meetup? Cause I am having an holiday in the UK and I'm starting to consider going to that con, and I'd really like to meet you (sorry if that sounds creepy D:)
Not creepy at all, that’s wonderful of you to consider! the thing is I have never been to the Manchester Con before (despite living practically next door…) so I actually have no idea what places it would be good to meet! I also don’t really have a good time plan, it’s all a bit spontaneous what with things happening rn, so basically if you spot me do come and say hello I would be absolutely delighted to chat with any and all of you! I’ll be there on the Saturday (probably from about 9am) and I am re-dying my hair today so I’ll take pics later in the week so you know what I look like :’D
I am a bit clueless when it comes to noticing people shouting my name, however, so if waving frantically and yelling ‘MOD’ doesn’t work try singing something from Mary Poppins I swear my ears are like fine tuned to that shit.

If you’re enjoying this comic or any of my other stories, please consider supporting me on Patreon, and you could have one of your own OC’s visit the market too! If that’s not your scene perhaps have a look if there’s anything that tickles your fancy on my RedBubble account or in my Society6 merch box :D
Anonymous asked: okay so we've had your music tastes for TPoH inspiration, but what I wanna know is what kind of music is in your head for the SKIP cuties? (especially that full feature movie I swear I need to see that happen one day)
Ooh! What a neat question! Also yeah man let’s cross our fingers and wish on a few stars for that to happen- as for the question I think all the different AU’s would have different music, but for a good catch all of their stories/especially for the feature this one sits pretty well with me;
noah-gallagher asked: Can we hope for many Donald-centric episodes where Scrooge isn't always the main show? Browsing general comments about the reboot it seems that the average guy who's never read the comics doesn't think Donald is a good character, which is just... depressing. I would be forever grateful to you if you made the world aware of Barks's Donald--the dynamic everyman who rescues his nephews from danger, (briefly) masters various arts, quarrels with cousin Gladstone, fights with the nephews, and so on!
Anonymous asked: you always have so many things going on! how do you ever organise what order to do things in?!
Well, while i have to confess I fall off the truck now and again (I’m sorry I will get back to TPatJ I swear), I will impart some of the wisdom I learned at VFS while making my classical animation short because it is wonderfully simple and works amazingly.
Break your projects, or project, into these three separate categories-
difficult, medium, easy
then, do them in this order:
medium, difficult, easy
The reason this works so darned well for meeting deadlines is this; starting with medium scenes doesn’t overwhelm you, but breaks you in for the big stuff. You never make your best work first, so you don’t want to start with the difficult impressive stuff and then wish you’d done it later when you knew better what you were doing. You also don’t want to leave the difficult stuff to last when you’ve got the world breathing down your neck- trust me, you can save yourself a lot of pain if you just leave the easy stuff for last. I don’t mean leave it to the last minute- pace all of it out over a timetable, be reasonable with expectations of yourself, and remember to account for breaks.
There might be exceptions, such as a very important piece of work or scene that fits into the ‘easy’ category, so it’s your call on whether to do that one at an earlier time to be sure it’s squirrelled away, but on the whole this simple sequence has saved my skin more times than I can count, both in personal projects and working for hire.
Anonymous asked: I'm so glad you've seen GBusters because i stg that scene with all the 1920's toon-esque balloon parade ghosts? I was like MOD IS GONNA FREAK
I am so proud you thought of me and I assure you that I did, indeed, freak.
