24th Jul 2020, 6:00 PM This is kinda long lol, feel free to skip ahead to whatever your question was if you want! I got these questions from CF and The Duck readers and from Instagram.

I just realized that I forgot to say how long it takes me to make a page…if I work quickly, about 2 days? (I’d only work around 4 hours a day though). I’ll probably be faster after all this illustrating stuff though, I think it’s teaching me some stuff.

As for music, my taste is very random, anything from dubstep to rock to anime/video game theme songs To soundtracks to hymns, etc…if I’m not tired or don’t need to calm down, basically anything that has a hard bass and gets my blood pumping is my jam.👍

25th Jul 2020, 9:03 AM Yaaaay this is fun! It's so cool to see sketches and designs and older versions of pages.

(Also makes me want to do a Q&A of my own, maybe once the comic is done, that's only a couple months away...)

25th Jul 2020, 10:02 AM Haha I just noticed that the pages were out of order, but I fixed that now so hopefully it makes a lot more sense XD

Thanks, it was fun!

And you should totally do that, it’d be cool ;3

25th Jul 2020, 10:45 PM Awesome work on this Q & A and thanks for the answer! TMNT and X-Men are both awesome indeed.

I think my fav super heroes might be X-Men, besides spiderman :)

25th Jul 2020, 11:46 PM Thanks man, and no problem-o ;)

Spidey is pretty dang good too, so classic! I think X-Men are my favourite superheroes too, unless we put them up against TMNT, I just relate to their family dynamic a lot.

Hey I recently picked up Hunter x Hunter again so I have a new appreciation for your Killua avatar *thumbs up*

26th Jul 2020, 2:47 PM aw crap, I completely forgot to ask a question. actually, that tiny panel made me curious about the original version of S&B. it doesn't even look bad, just different! is the current version drastically different, or is everything we've seen so far going more or less according to plan?

also you mentioned your brothers goofing around before, but actually seeing it is priceless XD

26th Jul 2020, 3:07 PM Don worry about it, I’m always happy to answer a question (I love talking lol). And thanks, even looking back at the original version today I can see that it had some good things going for it. And without it this newer version wouldn’t be here, so :)

The original version was drawn on paper using pens and coloured pencils. I think the art was lazier than even some of my earlier online stuff, and the story has definitely changed overtime, some scenes have been completely taken out and some new ones have been added, and it’s more thought-out and we get to understand the characters on a more personal level I think. (They were a bit more one-dimensional). An example of a difference that’s already been shown is in the match between Kairo and Kat. It was much shorter in the original, and the reason Kat actually attacked Kairo and accidentally activated a new ability was because she was angry at him for making fun of her name. In the online version, Kat is less of a simple hothead and has a less random reason for losing it. Kairo was also injured a bit more seriously here and Kat is much more remorseful—I personally think that both of them are more likeable characters now.

Thanks for asking, maybe I should post more of the old ones sometime.

27th Jul 2020, 5:09 PM Haha, that’s one thing that Kairo and I do not have in common, but good for you!
