1. I remember I was in such awe of your art around 2002-03 or thereabouts. I thought I would never be able to draw as well as that. ;)
2. I...can't really think of anything to challenge you on. ^^; I'd suggest trying new things (techniques, styles, etc.) with your art, but you do that already.
3. Red. Definitely red.
4. You're great to talk to, even if some nights we just sit there. ;P Also, you're very creative. I like that.
5. Earliest memory? Well, I'd say it'd have to be in the early days at Sabotage. Sure, I'd seen our site before then, but that's one of the earliest memories I have of talking to you.
6. Hm. This one's difficult because I don't tend to associate people with animals. I want to say dog, but that might be because you have a dog. ^^;
7. Uh oh. We're running into territory I never really thought of. Again. >.> There's never really anything I've been dying to ask you. I suppose I'll ask what was the inspiration for Earthia? After all, a story set 150 years in the future and populated with an array of colourful aliens doesn't just pop into someone's head. ;) Or maybe it does; I don't know.
Really? Red? I'd think pink...but whatever. Close enough. ;)
But I'll answer the question. It's long and complicated, but hey, you asked. Okay, as you know, Paths of Destiny was the original version of the Jedi Senshi ACademy story, and, if you didn't, well, now you do. That was the main inspiration for it. Then one day, I decided to have it set where the people sort of knew about the Knights aready. It was going to be set in 2050, because it seemed like a good time for aliens to first arrive on Earth. That was another thing I wanted. For humans to already know about aliens. Anyway, shortly after I decided on a time, I thought, hey, I should do it a hundred years after the first alien came to Earth. So I did. As for the colorful aliens, well, they were there back in the JSA days, actually, and just translated over. I just streamlined the species a bit more, and made them colorful. The original Helians consisted of blue females and green males, which is why Aerona is blue, and Gaius is green.
Trust me, my inspiration comes from the weirdest places most of the time. O.o
