April Q&A Answeres! (Patreon)

Hey everyone! :)
The time has come to finally answere your questions you asked from me. So let's not waste time, because this one turned out as a pretty long post :D

„PS4 XBOX ONE NINTENDO SWITCH OR PC?”

Almost always PC (I love strategy games), sometimes a bit of PS3. We couldn’t get a PS4 yet. :D

„For dessert....Would you choose ice cream, cake, pie or a piece of chocolate.....and why?”

I only like ice cream as a dessert, if there is someone to eat with. But I can ALWAYS eat chocholate! It’s basically my fuel. I can stuff it in my face almost infinitely :D

„What made you stick to your style? It's one of the reasons why I adore your art!”

This style helped a lot for me in making progress with any picture for a number of reasons: it’s fast, fluid, energetic, and the lines are very thick. Because of these, it’s very cartoony, and I adore cartoonic styles. I’ve searched for years to find my style, the one that suits me the most. I’ve tryied out countless styles, I’ve gathered my favorite style elements, and molded them into one coherent style. It took an enormous amount of practice to be able to use my style with confidence, and to be able to say that I can use this style everywhere (detailed pictures, sketches, and so on). I wanted to find a suiting style for me, because I always loved when someone had a fix style, but draws in all kinds of topics. That is what I’m trying to do too :)

„Would you ever consider collaborating on a comic with another writer?”

To be honest, I’ve never considered working together with another writer, no matter what I have to work on, we always work it out together. Write the comics and even come up with pictures together. I’ve never needed any other people help in that, because we make a lot brainstorming. Basically we work as a team, and usually we don’t run out of ideas.

„trump or clinton? why? if neither then who and why?”

I’m not at home with US politics, so I can’t say, and don’t want to say anything in the topic, sorry :)

„Favorite furry types you like to draw?”

I love ALL kinds of furries, maybe even all of them. But I think what comes to me the most natural are felines, goats an reptiles :D

Benjamin Wolfe

„…my silly question, which is better, vampires or werewolves?”

That depends on how you draw them, or what role they have in a story. Maybe I’d prefere werewolves a bit more, but that’s maybe because they are closer to furries :D

„Oh, I dont know if anyone has asked this before, but what is your process for telling your stories/comics? I have been trying my hand at them, but yours are just so fluent and really pull the reader in!”

I think I can interpret your question in two ways:

1. If you mean what’s the process behind a story/comic, then it’s this:

First of all, we come up with and idea, or a character, and sometimes that gives birth to a whole story. Then we write down the rough draft of the story. After that, we write the script for the whole story, working out the smaller details, and this is when we add the dialoges too. With the comics, this has to be partitioned to panels, what will be on each panel. Then I make the very rough sketch of the whole comic, making sure every panel is on the right place. (By the way, this is how the „Water God” comic was done. All 32 pages was sketched down before I started working on the first page. That helps it to be as whole and coherent as possible.) Then comes the real work, when I do the detailed sketch/lineart and coloring page by page.

2. Telling a story trough a comic:

It’s very important the comic to have introduction, main plot, and a conclusion. (I really dislike endless stories, where you just can’t see when it will get to the end. Like series with 500 episodes. That is always uncreative for me.) Making a good introduction is a key part, because that is when you tell the main personality and motivation of the characters.

In the conclusion, it’s never good to have any loose ends. Every main and side story should end here.

With the main plot, you have to pay attention to the panels. The comic should not rush toward, and it shouldn’t be too slow either. You should never show every single move of the characters, while not missing out key happenings. It’s kinda hard to find the golden mean between the two. (We worked very hard on this with the „Water God” comic, but it turned out still far from perfect.)

And one more thing: If you make a comic without words, movements and faces should tell the story. And when you make one with words, dialoges and narration can tell a lot of happenings, without actually showing them.

Wow, that turned out as an incredibly long answere! I hope I could at least answere your question… ^^;

Well, that’s all for now guys! This was the bigest Q&A so far. You guys made me very happy! :D

Thank you for everyone for the questions, and we’ll make another Q&A next month! ;)
