No. I keep meaning to try and pick up a second language, but haven't had time. Probably French, as after English it's the second most broadly spoken language in the world (English being spoken by 115 nations, French being spoken by 35).

Does Scarlet still live in a hammock?

Sorry don't mean to mob you with questions but here's 2

1. Do you have a facebook or afacebook page
2. How come there are HTP's on your deviantart but not on the HTP main place?

I think she's probably moved down into the tunnels with the other squirrels.
They've probably built something more comfortable by now.

1 - Yes, but I'm one of those weirdos that only uses it to keep in touch with people I actually know.
2 - I've been meaning to update that section of the site for ages, but haven't found the time!

Seeing as I have too many questions for my own good, I'll limit myself to one at a time, so,....

Which of your characters would you say is your favorite from SA and why?

Frist wrote:Which of your characters would you say is your favorite from SA and why?

I like all the characters for different reasons. Art and Pip are really fun to write for while Kat and Scarlet are fun to draw.
I also get a kick out of setting up situations for the Denizens to play out.

What tips would you give to an aspiring game concept artist, seeing as you took part in the career path yourself?

Hey Jack, can you tell me what you think of my Character i baced on off of your Sequential art comic? sorry its so big. cant figure out how to shrink it.
this is Cloie the Fox

[MOD Edit - Put art in the Artwork section, please ]

As far as resizing is concerned you can do that on imageshack. 640x480 for best results

ok, ill have to figure it out later i guess ^-^ but can you tell me what you think of my drawing?

You got skill, kid. I'll give you that. But I'd like to see this character in more dynamic poses.

Fanart and general art go in the art forum rather than the general just for a heads up

ya, well i put it on here as a question to JJ. but ya.
i also put it on art forum. Cureous as to what u mean by "dynamic poses" exactly haha

I'm a big fan of your art, and I suck at drawing, I've tried and tried but ultimately I would say rely on me to play a guitar rather than draw a picture. Anyway, would you ever consider drawing some of your fans? It could give you personal outlook on your drawings and better hone your abilities to draw real people in your unique style...Plus, you could probably charge like $10 a picture for your fans. That could bring in extra dough when you need it during the Holiday seasons. I'm probably getting off topic.

If we set up some sort of lottery type game to choose who gets picked to be drawn, and posted pictures of ourselves, would you draw us? And if not, could we pay you to draw us?

I've wondered this for a while now.

Read up on the industry. Look at where games developers are located and what kind of titles they produce.
Research research research!
Also; make sure you have a 'plan B', just in case you don't land a job in games. Other industries use concept artists. Find out which.

Nice idea, but I simply don't have time to do any kind of commission work right now.

Which art piece of yours would you say you're most proud of? Your personal favorite? One you would revamp, or do over again if you had the chance?

I suppose there's a couple of things I could ask here:
Have you ever thought about writing prose for novels at any point?
And you mention Gunstar Heroes as your fav shooter. Ever thought of doing a filmed speedrun of that?

I'm writing a little novella based on material I had planned to turn into a comic. If I can't find a publisher for it, I'll use Lulu to get it into print.

Not thought about doing speed-runs for ANY game. If I ever get the stuff I need to film something on-screen, it'll be to make a photoshop tutorial.

Have you ever thought about starting another comic that you use characters that have the same style set up that your fans make?

(what i mean by same style set up is like how sequencial art differs from spider and scuerpion. the character style is the same)

maby you can have a place whair you fans can submit character styles that fit under a discription that you tell us. than you can chouse your favoret styles and make something from that.

Meeester Jollyjack, you know there's screen "web-cams" if you could call it that. It's what all kind of LPer's... "Let's Player"... use.

not just that... "Unregistered Hypercam" junk. (c:

Have you ever played Viking: Battle for Asgard? This game is notable in that I consider it of decent quality despite having quick time events, and I'm normally the kind of guy who wants game developers who use QTE's rounded up, beaten, and shipped to either the sun or Haiti and their children left alone to starve.

First off I'm new,and I love your work,your a very talented person.I like the way how you put story arc's into your comic strip's and I'm a manga reader so of course you got me hooked.But my question is I thought of Kat being a all white Cat and Scarlet being all red, until I saw your misc,just wanna know what color are they really,so I can imagine your strip's even better. P.S Just saw this thread and had to post this in there,I made a similar thread,you can delete that one if you want.

My question got answered,no need to tell me

Do you ever go to conventions (Comic Con/Otakon/etc.), and/or plan to exhibit at any? If so, which one(s)? Any chance you might attend one in the US?

I highly doubt he would... he is ushaly pritty buizzy

Only conventions I attend at the moment are here in Britain.
(I should be on a table at the Bristol comics expo in May)
