Ask Me Anything
13 years ago
I thought I'd join in on the older bandwagon of this thing. Don't think I've ever done this, but to those who wish to ask me, feel free to ask me anything about me, or my characters or art, ect.

What is the answer to the ultimate question?
In order to give you the answer, I'd first need to know the question.
OK, in all seriousness, if we only get one question here's mine, with the set up: In the not too distant future, scientists discover that creativity and self-expression are finite resources, so governments legislate (and shadier scientists make it so) that you can only have one of your hobbies. Would you pick dancing or drawing, and what would be your thinking behind such a tricky choice?
If we get more:
Do you think you'll ever write (in an extended length) any of the background information/adventures for your characters, like a novel or a collection of short stories?
Over the years, I've seen your art progress and improve, and you've experimented in media and styles. Do you reckon that you'll see similar changes in your dance routines, or have you already stumbled onto your style, to a large degree?
For dancing do you prefer having a routine worked out, or just freestyling as the mood takes you?
Have you thought about livestreaming dancing or does that need a fiddly camera or some other nasty hoop jumping?
If you progress into world famous levels with both your hobbies, which one do you plan on selling out and going all commercial with first?
How much time do you spend a week dancing? What about drawing? How much would you like to be able to spend doing each one?
2. Do I want to? Yes. Do I think I will? Most likely not as I have a horrible track record with writing. Even worse than with drawing. It's hard to really sit down and quietly bring worlds to life, and to light. Plus writing is the unsung hero in the artist community largely. People have little time for reading, so bright colourful pictures are way more popular. I was actually looking back at some of my OLD drawings in my gallery and saw the stories I attached to them, and the response I got from people.. it made me feel good, and really had the gears churning again, wanting to write more, and more, but besides drawing, dancing, gaming, trying to make a fursuit, cleaning. So many other things seem like they'd take place of it. If I had infinity time, and could pause or freeze time.. I probably would write more. It's there, I have the desire, I just don't have the time.
3. Dance for me has 'just started'. With how indecisive I am, I can see myself changing a lot of styles, or at least having a finger in many pies. I may not master one style, but hopefully I can have a robust list of stuff to draw from to make unique combonations, or being able to fluidly adapt to different types of songs :). I have a lot of time to really develop my 'style'. I haven't fully developed my drawing one yet, and I've been working on that much longer. I just need to start making videos of me dancing.
4. I have enough trouble right now with trying to record things on my own time for just myself, The issue with live streaming is my web cam cannot pick up fast movements. It blurs, so you don't catch stuff like dance. Plus where my computer is located, 0 room for dancing. Though I did some skype calls recently in suit where I flailed a around torso up for some people.
5. If I were to 'sell out'. It'd be drawing first. Dancing .. seems hard to really do that with, while drawing you can 'sell yourself' to be an art slave for others, or make a popular IP that you sell off. Essentially it's easier to sell your soul with drawing I think.
6. This is probably the real kicker.. I usually dance 'on my way home' from work or to work (mostly just home), and then sometimes I'll do like 10-15 mins of dance at home sometimes. If I were to add it all together, Maybe like 1:30 hours a week dancing. So abyssmally low.
- Drawing is a bit better/worse. There are times I go months without drawing, but just this last week I've probably spent like 2-3 hours drawing so far. Some times I do 4 hours of drawing in a night, but it's so inconsistent.
How much I'd like to spend on each though.. Dancing, I'd love to do an hour a night. Drawing, I would love to maybe do an hour or two every other day, or maybe like 4-6 hours on the weekend(maybe even sneak in an hour or two on the weekend for writing). Dancing also can be done out socially like at fursuit bowling, or parties which can make it a social activity too luckily.
I need to prepare for September for dancing. Think there'll be another competition I'll head to there.
