Anonymous asked: can I ask- do your characters go through a lot of changes? or do you just land on the 'right' design and stick with it?
Actually it’s a bit of both! All designs change over time, even if it’s just due to the artist getting better at drawing. For me, some characters appear out of nowhere, while some have to be chiseled away at before I feel like they really look like themselves. People who have been following me since the start will know that RGB has more or less remained the same in essence, and he was a pretty spontaneous drawing! Hero took me a few goes to get her right, but I had a good general idea of the elements to put together (round shapes, toy-like, massive eyes etc.). I knew who she was already, so it wasn’t like I was starting with a blank canvas.
A character who took more honing was Dial- he had a very different look altogether at the beginning! It’s usually the character or personality which is the grounding constant for me, I just had to keep redrawing him until I ‘found’ what he looked like. It’s hard to explain, but sometimes you draw a bunch of versions of a character, and suddenly you get this one drawing and you’re just like; “yeah, that’s him, that’s this person.” Maybe I’ll release those first sketches and the evolution of Dial’s design some time (perhaps when I start up a patreon!), so you can see just how much faffing about that took. The same happened with Arthur- I just had to keep trying until I got to that magical ‘DING!’ moment.
In contrast, Julienne was one where she just popped into my head and stayed more or less the same since day one. The only thing that changed was that originally she had normal ballet shoes, but when I realized she should be made of sugar and chocolate it just made sense to have her ‘feet’ and ‘head’ made of knives; hence why I changed her name to Julienne (originally it was going to be Julliard, after the school, so I still feel like the name stemmed from dance aspect of her).
Anonymous asked: How old is Hero?

Anonymous asked: Curious, what would Hero's, RGB's, and your western zodiac signs be?
Hero is an Aquarius (February 10th), RGB is a Gemini (May 21st) :D
oh and I’m a Pisces sorry missed that the first time
Anonymous asked: What are RGB and Hero's zodiac animals? I did a little research and I like to think RGB may be a snake and Hero is a rat. By the way, what's YOUR zodiac animal?
Well congratulations, you’re dead on with Hero! She is indeed a rat (born in 1996), but RGB is actually a rooster (born inaahHAHHAHAHYOUREALLY THINK I’M GOING TO SAY) so yes, there you have it!
as for me I was born in a year of the dragon (1988 baby, yeah)

Anonymous asked: have you got any advice for writing funny comics?
Funny specifically? Well, if when you’re coming up with it makes you smile, odds are it’s going to make someone else smile. If it makes you laugh, odds are it’s going to make someone else laugh!
If it doesn’t make you do either why the heck are you writing it.
