    I will answer... As long as it ain't spoiling future content I'm making. ¬w¬;
     
    Oh so I love to lurk and stuff and read your comics, what inspired you to start making them? and what inspired you to do art in the first place?

    What is your favorite color to use?

    and not a question, but your art is always really cool!

    Thank you! I've actually been following Nuzlocke Comics since 2012ish! I saw a handful pop up. And that made me realise "Whoa, you can just do that!". Especially a nuzlocke comic called "Ken's Fire Red K!ck@$$ mode" by YinDragon inspired me to give it a shot.

    Nuzlocke Comics in general felt like a low bar of entry, since it relies on games and gameplay for the initial storyline, something I wasn't entirely confident with as of yet. I've tried my fair share of startups, but most of them ended up going nowhere. Mostly because motivation is hard to keep up over such an extended period of time with such a scope for a project.

    Eventually I found a really good Carrot-On-A-Stick through Original Character Tournament formats. My competitive drive meshed really well with that concept. And such tournaments usually boiled down to developing one OC that you submit in the tournament, and then make comics of your OC competing with the OC of your opponent. I basically used this as a way to kinda train myself into becoming more diligent with comic-oriented projects and finishing what I started. And boy... I learned so many skillsets during these tourneys. ~

    and what inspired you to do art in the first place?

    Loved to draw a lot as a kid, but what really got me started was actually making Pokémon Sprite edits. In fact, this forum is the place that kick-started it all. There were a lot of amazing pixelartists on here, and merging pokémon sprites together was really big back then. I got to learn and develop a lot since everyone was so helpful and willing to provide critique pointers for improvement. And I had become really passionate about pixelart as a result. Eventually I branched into doing more general digital art once I discovered the existence of pen tablets.

    What is your favorite color to use?

    Purple, especially in the violet direction. It's such a good color. I love using it in color palettes, but it's also such a great color for general shading. ~
     
    What are your favorite Pokemon games?

    Ooooh there are a fair handful I love. ~

    My all time favorite definitely is Pokémon Black & White version. Mainly for the strong plot. Probably find it one of the best ones Game Freak has managed to make. The follow-up sequel is really good too, and definitely shines even greater in the gameplay aspect. With the larger pool of obtainable pokémon, and a whole lot of stuff to do besides the main part of the game.

    Other than that, really love the gameplay of Legend's Arceus. It was nice being able to just unwind and focus more on catching than on battling. The plot wasn't that strong early in but I got really invested once it worked its way to the finale.

    Other than that really enjoyed Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Darkness. These PMD games are pretty strong in their plots as well.

    The Orre games, Pokémon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness I've mainly grown fond of in the process of making "Wanted!" I've never grown up with these games so I got to experience them as an adult. But I've started to love their concepts since it holds so much creative potential to build upon with fanworks.

    I'm also pretty crazy about Pokémon Puzzle league on the N64. ~
     
    Hello there! Your comic is fantastic, both from the story, but also the visuals. And I love how Yume looks as a character! Anyway, enough about that lol.

    Who is your favorite original character you've made, and what about them makes them your favorite?

    How similar are you in personality to comic Yume? And did you name that character after your username, or did you pick your username because of her?

    What made you want to try out an AMA?
     
    Why do you toss me in there so much? :(
    Repent.

    If Dragoon never existed in FFXIV, what then would be your main job? :p
    Hummm... I'd probably have gone Monk if Dragoon never existed. Or Viper seems nice.

    Who is your favorite original character you've made, and what about them makes them your favorite?
    Yui, definitely. She's one of my first OC's. Ironically actually looks a whole lot like Yume since Yume is more a derivative for the Pokémon Universe.
    I like dragons so I designed her to be dragonic. And I roleplayed as her a lot in the early internet days when I hadn't even figured out a name for her yet.
    I've decided to steer a bit away from the standard design to make her more her own character so here she is now
    Spoiler:


    How similar are you in personality to comic Yume?
    Not very similar actually, she may have a few of my personal traits, but thats generally limited.

    And did you name that character after your username, or did you pick your username because of her?
    The name came first, the username after. Just thought it was a neat name to go by. Didn't expect I would actually make a comic that would lift off that much ._.;

    What made you want to try out an AMA?
    I saw AMA, I try AMA. Simple as that. xD
     
    What's your favourite kind of music?
    That is very variant actually, as genre in general doesn't matter to me. I'll listen to anything.

    But the most accurate answer is any music that I can daydream scenarios to. Those tend to stick the best in my playlist. No vocals in them is definitely a plus, but not something I am concerned about when listening if it's there. It just distracts a little from vibing. Other than that... The tune should also not be too repetitive, it doesn't really annoy me, but I get easily bored when patterns become too apparent with little variation to it.
