I have a question for each of the main four (Jon, Chie, Amber & Elias): what's your favorite season and why?

Anonymous asked:

What is Jon's opinion on global warming and environmental protection?

Jon is uneducated on the subject

hi just wanted to say how much i love your comic. I actually think the story line is pretty good. It's very interesting and I can't wait to see where it goes. I also can't wait to see how the relationship between the characters develop.

Aw yisss I’m glad you think so! Thanks for reading! Look forward to future chapters, it’s only going to get better <3 (I hope)

Not gonna lie I loooved Richard Armitage as Thorin <3 ahh swoon

If you could choose real-life actors to play the characters, who would be who? My image was that Elias=Ewan McGregor, Chie=Emi Takei, Amber=Angelina Jolie and Chief=Meryl Streep. Jon is pretty difficult, but I guess someone like Vin Diesel (muscular,"tough guy"-type) would be good.

Hahaa that’s a fun thought…..

I agree with some of those; Emi Takei seems like a real cutie and Chief is actually modeled after Meryl Streep, so those are no-brainers! Angelina Jolie looks a bit too mature for Amber, I’d rather go with someone like Emma Stone. Ewan McGregor’s face is too soft and round for Elias but I found a pic of him with glasses and similar hair so he’s alright until I come up with someone better :D Jon is Tauno Palo!

I read Phantomland webcomic and liked it. It gave me a few thoughst, too. A: Chief of Cypress feels kind of like a Machivellian type of leader, the type that pulls the strings and is capable of ruthlessness and manipulation, even though her motives are for the greater good. B: Do you have an idea what kind of voices the characters might have? (for some reason, I can imagine Elias having a British accent...)

All right, thanks for reading!

Many readers do seem to think the chief is a little suspicious. Clearly she’s got some secret plan in the works but time will tell what it’s all about… in any case, she’s well respected by her people so she must be doing something right!

Elias I do imagine to be British, actually! Maybe because he’s the dapper one so it matches the stereotype, haha. I haven’t thought very much about voices but Elias = slightly nerdy, Jon = sort of dry/raspy, Amber = like a young boy, Chie = clear and sincere but not too high, and the chief = deep and soft. Can’t namedrop any fitting VA’s for these but I’m open for suggestions :)

do you ever just ship your own characters and draw fanart for it and be sad because you don't want it to be canon but it just gives you so many feels, and do you ever make useless AUs for your canon and then cry because you love it so much but it can never be real

I don’t get it. Is that a common thing?

If I ship something, I make it canon :’D And if I can’t make it canon, I’ll just move on and… kinda stop caring about it? Is that weird?

Granted I’m not an active shipper with any fiction and even if I do have an OTP, it’s usually canon to begin with, so… yeah I guess I’m sorta boring that way

I love Jasper ! He looks so nice and he is really charming >w< Is he still going to be around, or is he one of those characters who we don't see anymore after a few moments ?

Aaahh I’m glad you like him but I can’t say for sure what I’m going to do with this character!

Originally he was a last-minute addition to Chapter 2 to provide some exposition but he ended up growing into something more. Jasper’s an useful character in that way though; he’s just a humble odd-job dude who’s always available when Chie needs someone to talk (and vent) to. Also he’s the only one who’s below Chie in the ranks so that’s an interesting detail too

I doubt he’ll disappear but he won’t be a major player in the plot either… There’s a way I could write Jasper a nice little subplot of his own but we’ll see if I can sneak it into the comic smoothly :)

fuckyeahfuckno asked:

Oh jeez, I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who remembered just what inspired them to a story or a character. A project of mine that started small but that I want to get big now is half-based on some wacky interpretation I had of some picture - which, after months, I recently stumbled across on my PC. And I thought. "AM I IN TROUBLE NOW." But it's okay to get inspired to a certain degree. R-right...? ;_;

The thing with Jasper’s design was intentional because I didn’t expect him to become an important character and simply borrowed the looks of an actor I liked at the time

I suppose everyone gets the occasional realization that they’ve ripped off something by accident. I’m terrified of the possibility myself so whenever I come across a cool thing I get a “DON’T IMITATE THIS” sort of reminder banging in my head… yet it still happens where I least expect it :D but that’s kind of a given, right. If you spent your whole life inside a blue room you could only paint blue rooms because that’s all you ever saw. Really the only way to create a new thing is to consume other things and mix those up

Good luck with your project, I’m sure you’ve molded it into your own brainchild by now, anyway :)

scify65 asked:

Have you ever tried the pixelovely site (I'd link it but Tumblr says no links in questions)? I find it to be a good way to practice gesture and figure drawing, and the nudes can be really helpful with anatomy.

Wowww that looks bloody brilliant! Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to try this out sometime!

solaraprotagonist-deactivated20 asked:

Got any tips for people struggling with poses? ;7;

Not sure if I’m the right person to answer this… I just scribble something and then make a kajillion tweaks until everything looks alright. Free transform (select area -> ctrl+t) in Photoshop is my best friend :)

I can’t draw natural poses in that smooth & intuitive way many pros do, but I’m quick to detect the flaws in my drawing and then proceed to fix them. I guess everyone’s got their own way of doing it

Anonymous asked:

whoa I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound rude or something when I asked that. I just wanted to know, because tbh I do prefer books/comics with LGBT characters or people represented since I am one. I don't mind if it doesn't, I just would be even more excited if it did. ;u; I love Phantomland, so don't get angry ;o;

Did I come off angry? I’m not angry… No, I think that’s a legitimate concern really. I’m straight myself and have the most confidence writing straight relationships, but I’m definitely interested in taking the challenge and bringing more variety to the table. As I mentioned, some of the characters I do think are LGBT - Elias and the chief’s backstories in particular may touch on the subject - but I can’t promise it’ll have a lot of prominence storywise

Thanks for reading anyway :’)

Anonymous asked:

are any of the phantomland characters LGBT*Q? U_U

Already in the FAQ

I mean sure, why not? There’s a number of characters I imagine having such an identity, but displaying that in canon won’t be easy! The few romantic relationships I’ve planned are all straight and too crucial to the plot to be changed. I may be able to sneak a few queer moments here and there but overall it’s gonna be a veeeery straight story

Bottom line: Phantomland won’t be a beacon of sexual/racial diversity but I plan to pay more attention to the subject in whatever project I draw after it

claytonimus asked:

Music is pretty personal to a lot of people, and the kind of music a person listens to can say a lot about them. What are your characters' favourite genres of music? (or least irritable, in case Jon hates music and life or something)

• Amber: r&b, house, dance
• Elias: experimental, industrial, chiptunes
• Chie: indie rock, electronica
• Jon: classic rock

Music is actually one of the few things Jon genuinely likes (I planned to write this detail into the story eventually)! Only applies to his preferred genres though, old fart hates modern stuff
