      Yes! In fact, I used to only draw animals, especially dogs and cats. I don't like drawing things with a lot of hard edges and straight lines, like buildings. Organic shapes are MUCH easier for me.

      Oh, totally eyes made of bees. I could shoot bees at people after every blink. Just think of the carnage!

      This will sound totally conceited, but it's gotta be my website. It's what I've created on the Internet, it's my little corner. It's my baby!

      Yes. I don't know how long the break will last, but I need time to relax and also to plan out the script. Ideally I'd like to get it completely scripted before drawing. Also, I noticed that my right hand and fingers were sort of getting mad at me toward the end of track 13 because I was drawing a ton every single day. I need the time to rest my hand as well.

      These days, it's mostly from my friend who is a comic artist too. She helps me to bounce ideas around, and is always excited about what I'm working on. It's great motivation, and it's also inspiring for me when I see what she's been working on too. I also pull inspiration from other professional artists that I admire, other web comics, and bands that remind me of Orochi and ~PHANTASM~. I also get inspired by my readers who support my work and leave me really uplifting comments. Those help me out so much to keep me going!

      Aw thanks! I've cosplayed Lolita before with my friend. It was so much fun! My husband isn't really into cosplay, and I'm not so much these days either. Mostly because I don't have the time or patience or money to create cool costumes.

      I know I've been asked this before. ^_~ Here's what I wrote before:
      Don't ever forget that you're doing it for fun. As soon as it becomes like a chore, then it can be really difficult to keep your drive and motivation up. Also, be comfortable with your character designs and have a solid hold on your story. Don't be afraid to change things once you've started (that's how inspiration comes to me sometimes), but have a basic idea of the direction you'd like to take things. I also personally think that a basic knowledge of web design and HTML can come in handy, unless you're planning to use a website like drunkduck or smackjeeves to upload your work. Also, recognize that the more you work on your comic, the more you'll improve. Try to not be embarrassed by your early pages, but look at them like a starting block. And if you plan to get your pages printed some day, make sure that you have proper specs for printing (including a bleed, for example, so important content won't be cut off once the pages are printed) and also that your tones you use won't go all wonky. I'd recommend working in high resolution, like at least 300dpi and keeping backups of all your high resolution pages while you upload lower resolution versions for the web. But again, most of all... just have fun with it! :)

      Hmm. Most people who read my comic might not know that I'm LDS (Mormon). Also, I almost died when I was 12 from a ruptured appendix. D:

      Heh, it's actually pretty natural for me. o_o; I don't find it hard to portray the different types of personalities. It makes scripting really easy, which I consider a huge blessing. When I was little, I would always play out these elaborate scenarios with my toys, and each toy had its very own personality and everything. So I guess it started there!

    20. Emily Muto

      Yep, I'm getting really close to the end of track 13! I actually just finished page 47 today, so just a couple more pages to go and it's done. As for track 14, I have to figure a lot of things out for it. I have main ideas in my head, but I have to sort through them, write them down, and make all the pieces fit together like a puzzle. Once I'm done drawing track 13, I'll begin the scripting process for track 14. I'm really looking forward to it because a lot of exciting things are coming up and I CANNOT WAIT to share them! :D
