Back! Ask me things by Ziblie
I'm back from my jaunt with college interviews (in at my backup, won't find out for my preferred school for another 1-2 weeks)! Honeeeey, I'm hoooooome~
And I feel like answering questions since it's good old TMI Tuesday. Got a question for me? Let me answer it! :D I... I probably won't be answering NSFW questions though. Ha!

Talk with him on the internet like a big loser!

I remember you said once that you had some plans for making comics eventually (I think it was when I commented on that one comic commish you did of the two people who were bound up in a creepy basement-looking room). Do you have any particular storylines in mind or universes that you want to share? :D :D
-
I have one BIG story in mind that's largely about a teenager growing up but also involves him saving the world and helping cause huge political unrest. :) That's my major one. All humans! Most of my stories are all humans honestly.
I have another one kind of trundling along on the back burner about a dude and a chick from opposite sides of a religious war who, when the dude gets a holy quest from the OPPOSING side's god, wind up having to work together to bring down... that god's church (and the chick's church too, incidentally).
And I have a derpy little story that I'm building around some characters and friends' characters. I don't think it'll be anything serious AT ALL, I'd just be doing it for shits and giggles and I don't think I'd be terribly committed to it haha! Basically Squidge winds up summoning Lisky from hell with a cooking effort gone wrong, and then she can't get rid of him. And they haaaate each other, because Lisky is a bro, and Squidge is made of neurosis, and it is not a winning combination.
I have wanted to do a furry comic for a while now but I'm never sure what to do. No stories have really jumped out at me for them and I don't want to do the typical "slice-of-life" thing that seems to happen with so many furry comics. It'd be an easy way out but I want my work to be good, not just easy.
I DUNNO RAMBLING STORIES
-
Ohmygosh the first two both sound awesome (well the second one sounds super-cool and the first one sounds vague but I am sure it is awesome). I hope you keep us up to date on them as they go places!
-
Haha the first one is just really hard to summarize right now! I need to work on an elevator pitch pretty bad. xD
-
-
Why not try something crazy and nonsensical like the world of Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden : Part 1 of the Hoopz Barkley Saga? :)

Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not? =D Tell me a good ghost story if you got one!
-
I do! There're several reasons for that but mostly because I've heard many very convincing anecdotes from other people and because I've had a few strange experiences myself. I believe that there's a lot out there that science hasn't explained, and I also believe that everything is just energy expressing itself in different ways (different patterns, wavelengths, vibrations, whatever), so there's no reason for ghosts to not exist. But I do think that most of what people figure are ghosts are just like... the metaphysical equivalent of squirrels or other fairly harmless wildlife.
None of my ghost stories are "scary" per se or even really about ghosts! In my old apartment, we had something that would stand and stare at you while you did menial tasks. It especially liked watching people do the dishes. EVERYONE in the apartment noticed it, even guests, so it wasn't just me making things up! I don't know why it liked watching boring chores so much, but it did. Anything you were doing mindlessly, it would show up and watch: dishes, washing your hair, making the bed. I'm not sure if it was a ghost as in a dead human, but it was something weird.
If you want some really good ghost stories though I'd recommend Fuck Yeah Nightmares on Tumblr!
-
AAAAAH AAAAAAAH oh my god it's stupid of me because clearly it didn't do anything but the chore-watching thing sounds terrifying as hell I watch too many scary movies oh god
-
It was really unnerving hahaha! Though it was worse when it watched you in the shower.
-
-
"and I also believe that everything is just energy expressing itself in different ways" PPPFTTT I think I love you D= This is my belief, I personally don't know another person who believes this.
That is an interesting story, it sounds like it might be creepy but I assume living with it and not feeling threaten the creepy feeling goes away. And thanks for the plug for the tumblr =D I love me some scary stuff!
-
Yeah, the energy thing is kinda what I go with, too. Like, I'm not sure I'm totally sold on sentient life-as-we-know-it sort of ghosts or demons or whatever, but I'd honestly find it hard to believe that there wasn't some sort of possible energy slough-off that continues after death in places that were meaningful.

Why do artists draw heads so dang big?
-
What commissions are your favorite to draw? Do you have a favorite animal? What do you intend to major in at college? Who is(are) the biggest influence(s) to your drawing style? What is your favorite dessert? Have you ever line danced? Would you prefer to own a car or motorcycle? What classical artist do you admire? Is there a museum you really want to see? Which do you prefer, plain M&Ms, peanuts, almonds, dark chocolate, other?
-
- Character based commissions are awesome. I love to be able to express some kind of personality / story with what I'm drawing because it's just so much more interesting than "so-and-so standing there, being cool"!
- I think overall I like rodents of any stripe the best, but then there are also sting rays, and ostriches and emus, and cats, and some really derpy dogs, and quail, and.......
- Going in for graphic design! Gimme dem jobs.
- You know honestly I'm not much of a sweets person. I really prefer salty / savory things and only crave sweets very occasionally, and usually those cravings are very specific but also very random. I really REALLY like pumpkin pie with whipped cream though!
- I did line dance once... In seventh grade. xD They made us do it in gym class. I think square dancing is much more fun.
- I think I'd prefer a car, because I love love LOVE the way motorcycles look, but I'm scared to death of them. Also, more room for hauling things in a car.
- Classical artist... I'm not sure if he counts as classical, but J.C. Leyendecker was amazeballs. Also J.W. Waterhouse. And Alfonse Mucha. And any of the "golden age" illustrators.
- I'd really like to go back to the Tyrell Museum in Alberta! I went there several times when I was little, but I'd love to see the dinosaur bones now that I'm grown up and can remember them.
- I like almonds. :D
-
-
What do you think of that Stoker guy huh he's such a weirdo
-
What would you do if you meet Yuuko? :O
-
Will naked mole rats ever feature in your art? XD
-
Is it true you are an evil synthetic rubber critter? Or am I thinking of someone else? :P
-
Do you like pandas? And if you were to draw an anthro panda would you draw it pudgy or fit or a healthy in-between?
-
I have no problem with pandas, haha!
I think I would probably make a panda character pudgy, if I designed it, but I'm not opposed to a fit one!
-
-
Shorts, movies, music videos, etc etc... what would you say is your favorite animated production of all time? :D
-
I know there was a really cute short I saw from Gobelins but I can't remember what it was. So I'm probably gonna have to go with The Emperor's New Groove, because it was just awesome. :D I'm curious, what's yours?
-
Gobelins aaaaaaa. <3 And lol The Emperor's New Groove is amazing; I'm forever sad that I didn't get to see it in theaters (Dad hates David Spade so we never saw it, womp womp).
GOD it's such a hard choice. I am actually a huge, HUGE fan of shorts (like, we're talking dream job would be to work on a short with lovely music and a huge emotional impact, for Disney most likely (but I'll take anyone producing something amazing, lbr)), so gahhhh after a bunch of deliberation, I'm gonna say my favorite is Rhapsody in Blue from Fantasia 2000. Music has always been my biggest motivator when it comes to art (really, it's my first love in life)-- I've grown up listening to all manner of symphonic and classical pieces, imagining visual stories to go along with them. This short is like, the epitome of my dream. I love this Gershwin classic, and the way they wove together the stories of the different characters to the tune of the music was fantastic. The obvious stylistic influences in the design, animation, and coloring were brilliant. And as an aside completely unrelated to anything, I LOVE the animation on Gershwin's fingers when he makes that cameo appearance playing the piano about halfway through. The curlingggg alskdjflaskjdf.
I'm gonna give an honorable mention to the Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore as well, which won the shorts Academy Award a few years back. William Joyce is another favorite artist of mine (Guardians of Childhood lkajsdflakjsdf), and I just completely and totally love the story. I'm an artist, obviously, but I'm also a librarian, who was raised in part by a librarian, so books are a huge part of my past and my identity. Watching it makes me very emotional, haha.
-
Oh that reminds me! The Firebird short from Fantasia 2000 was aaaawesome.
-
GOD WASN'T IT? I didn't actually even see Fantasia 2000 until late in the game, and had already had the pleasure of learning the music from The Firebird Suite for marching band and watching my school's band perform it (I had graduated the year previous, so I didn't get to march it, but one of my besties was a drum major, my brother was in the band, and obviously I had a bunch of younger friends still in school; IN SHORT, I STILL CARED V MUCH). When I realized what the music was when I watched it for the first time, I FREAKED OUT. alkdjflaksjdf definitely made it more special for me, on top of it already being awesome. <3

If we're discussing the Krabby Patty secret formula on the third Wednesday in January and it's not raining outside after we've gargled with vanilla pudding, what do we do?
-
What we do every night, Pinky... Try to take over the world.

Why did they bury the fireman behind the hill?
-
I feel like this is the lead-in to a joke. Why did they bury the fireman behind the hill?
-
I'll tell you why. Because he was DEAD! :3
