@candiedreptile asked:

When is your prime time to work on your art?

For work, I go from 9am-5pm with a lunch at 12pm, Monday to Friday. I find that I work best on client projects during the day and I give myself that very clear cut-off point so I’m not overworking myself.

Buuuut, after making dinner, going on a walk, and settling on the couch for the night that’s when I work on personal art. So around 7pm-10pm.

 

@bob-artist asked:

What’s that one thing that inspired you to make drawing your consistent hobby?

I’ve been drawing steadily since I was 10 and once I started I just never stopped. I’ve got like three pivotal moments;

When I was 9 a teacher read The Hobbit to my class and I got really into it and started drawing scenes from the book, that teacher encouraged me to keep going and I felt like being an artist was something I could actually do.

Then I got really into Dragon Ball Z, so my drawings turned more towards anime and I began doing a ton of fanart. It was mostly just copying Toriyama’s illustrations though. My mom started encouraging me further and saying I should go to Sheridan College when I’m older (and I did!)

Comics took over once I got my first volume of Shonen Jump when I was 11 in 2001. That’s when I realised that “comic artist” was a job! It was such a monumental moment for me, after that all I wanted to do was draw comics.

Now I’m a professional, drawing both as a hobby and for my day job! I made it!

 

@itsnero asked:

Anything you haven’t drawn yet but want to?

Ohhhhhboy, I have maybe 15 projects swirling around my head at any given time but I’ll stick to one for now; I’d like to do a NSFW webcomic with a really old OC of mine, Ulf.

I’m in the plotting stages right now so I haven’t actually done any pages for it yet (that counts for this question right?!) I’ve had this character for well over 10 years now and I’ve had this idea for a while, I just gotta do it!

Dead City Q&A #1

Questions are brought to you by fans on topazcomics.com and answered by Michelle.

Did you know that Mikael and JP weren’t always running from zombies? They’ve been around longer than Dead City has and it’s always fun to look back on old art of them. It’s also how Michelle and I met each other~

We posted these Q&As on Patreon and I’ll be posting these on days where we can’t get a Dead City page up. Our apologies for not posting a page today.

Hey, I was wondering, what pens do you ink your comics with?

ohhboyyyy!!! this is my kind of question!

It changes up every so often. I did a post about how I make comics about a year ago now: here

And now I use different pens, which I’ve also started reviewing on my patreon.

But right now my favourites are:
Sailor Fude de Mannen 55
Kuretake 13
Pilot Metropolitan
Fountain Pen Revolution flex Guru

So I hope those are some good recs for you, I’m always ready to talk about pens!

Q&A

I didn’t know you read through dead city as well. It’s a cool little series so far.

real-faker:

JP and me are actually buddies!  Admittedly I’m way behind because I’m a bad friend, but I try to make up for it by promo-ing their work!  Hahaha…  they actually helped me color W2H and cleaned up some of my scans!  But yeah Dead City is great and JP does awesome work and if you’re reading this and haven’t already checked out their work, GO CHECK OUT THEIR WORK!

Thanks Erica for all the support though! Michelle and I get really hyped when you reblog the DC stuff!
