1. I'll be honest - until I learned how to use Maya, I couldn't figure out Blender at all. 3D modeling in general isn't easy to pick up, but I think Blender is pretty straightforward compared to the other programs out there.

2. I actually prefer animating models over making them myself, but I'd to make 3D graphics for commercials/logos.

3. I'd like to! I've always been really bad about naming characters. None of them in my drawing thread have names

Do the characters you draw have a planned personality?
What inspires you to draw them?
Can you do a split?

- Mmm... yes and no. I don't usually start with a personality in mind - it sort of develops as I go.
- I usually have a theme or type of outfit in mind, and I decide to draw a character to match that theme.
- I can't! I'm not very flexible or anything like that - mostly just clumsy.

Do you apologize to inanimate objects when you bump into them? (I can't be the only klutz that does this ;-;)
What's your favorite smiley?
Have you ever tried designing a smiley?

- Nope! I usually curse at them instead!
- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Mmm... a long time ago, yes. I used to make emoticons and post them on deviantArt.

If you were given a chance to have the power to transform into a dinosaur... would you take it and what would saurus would you choose? And if you transform into the saurus... you get every instinct it has, but you keep very little of your own mind, but don't worry. You can still keep turning back to your regular human self...albeit probably eating some people or animals.

If a strange dog barked at you. What would you do in response? Kill the dog?

What do you have to your right and what do you have to your left?

- Mmm... I'm cool with the whole "turn in to a giant reptile" thing, but I'd honestly prefer to keep my mind intact. I'm barely sane as-is - I don't want to to know what would happen if I lose any more of my mind.

- I go on a lot of walks, so strange dogs bark at me all of the time. You have to glare at them and assert dominance. Then headbutt them into a tree. It's the only way.

- To my right is my drawing tablet, and to my left is a cup of water. Stay hydrated, kids.

 

[Juneberry]

I forget if I've asked yet- do you have any pets?
Why do you see yourself as not sane?
Are you left handed or right handed?

- Nope! Not unless younger brothers count.
- Ah, I was just kidding! I'm just a bit out there, lol.
- I'm actually ambidextrous.

 

[Mysiath]

I spy a very interesting creature in your signature. How did it become to be?

Ambidextrous. That's interesting. Are you naturally ambidextrous?

 

[Juneberry]

I see, so you have younger siblings! Do you get along well with them?
How many siblings do you have in general?

- Ah, my friend Eien made it for me because I love snails, lol. They're my #2 or #3 fav animal behind dinosaurs.
- Also, yeah! I use my right hand as my dominant hand whenever I have to do much writing/drawing/any of that, but I can use either hand equally well. I have naturally bad wrists/joints in general, so being able to switch when one or the other hurts is pretty helpful.

I see, so you have younger siblings! Do you get along well with them?
How many siblings do you have in general?

- I just have one younger sibling, and yup - he and I get along great! He loves dinosaurs, and wants to be an artist when he grows up.
- I have 5 siblings - 4 older brothers (2 step-brothers, 2 that are fully-related), and 1 younger half-brother.

How do you eat oreo's?

Have you accomplished something magnificent this year?

From a movie or TV-show what alien race would you choose to be real? And I do mean currently existing out there...somewhere.

- I don't really like Oreos, tbh.
- I'll be honest, I haven't done a lot this year. I guess I haven't died yet. I'm pretty proud of that.
- Hmm... probably the Decopodians from Futurama. They'd probably look super horrifying irl, but whatever, man.

What's your favorite snack?
Is it hard having five brothers (in general and as the only girl)?
Are you more of a tomboy or a girly girl? (is that a dumb question xD)

- I'm not much of a snacker, but I usually go with carrots or unsalted sunflower seeds.
- Not really, but I also rarely see more than 1 or 2 of them at a time. Holidays are, uh, something else lol.
- I'd say somewhere inbetween, but I'm definitely leaning towards tomboy. As a kid I liked racing turtles and hitting things with sticks, lol.

 

[Mysiath]

Did you hit other kids with your stick?

How long does it take you to finish one full-body character and what do you do when you find that you don't like how it turned out?

How often do you CTRL + ALT + DEL?

- Ohhhh yeah. We'd basically find the biggest branches we could and beat the crap out of each other.

- Eh, about 4-5 hours if I can work all at once (on a weekend or something). It usually takes a few days if I'm working on it during the week.

- Pretty much never. I'm on a Mac, lol.

Would you start a very large drawing project that would take you 3-5 years to finish, but the finished project would pay very good?

Do you have a habit that you do, but want to quit doing it, but you just can't stop?

- It'd depend on if I'd make more money working several small projects in that same period of time. The problem I've had with larger projects is that a lot of them get cancelled before they reach a finished stage. It's led to me having done a lot of artwork, but having little to show for it.

- I'm not sure if this fits the criteria or not, but I'm trying to get back into the habit of wearing my glasses.
