Sorry if you've been asked this already, but what sparked your interest in drawing, and how did you come about finding your drawing style?

I've been exposed to anime/manga ever since I was 8 and I grew up with an older cousin who likes to draw, so we ended up spending our time drawing together. I also like the art styles in manga, so I tried to draw like one.
I didn't settle on my drawing style until this year, actually. I've been using a lot of coloring tutorials online and I eventually mixed them up together and come up with some that are comfortable to me. So experiment with a lot of styles and find the one that is comfortable with you!

Since it's pretty clear what your fave is, what's your SECOND favourite game/game series?

Suikoden II is my favorite game ever, but Suikoden is not really my favorite series. My 2nd fav game series would be the Zero Escape series. *points to own twitter handle*

What would be each Persona girl's favorite cupcake

Including P1 and P2 too? I only know a few of them though.
Elly: tiramisu
Maki: chocolate
Maya: raspberry
Yukari: strawberry
Mitsuru: red velvet
Fuuka: peppermint
Aigis: lemon
Chie: pumpkin?
Yukiko: dark chocolate/caramel
Naoto: blueberry
Yeah I'm bad at this.

What about P3MC do you like enough to call him one of your favorite characters? Also, how much do you like Makoto's character and personality in the P3 Movies?

I love him because of P3's ending. Not going to spoil anything, but you should know why. As for his characterization in the movie, I LOVE IT. I even considered calling him Makoto because Makoto (movie) has a better character and personality than Minato (manga) even though I like the name Minato a lot more.
P3M #1 and #2 spoilers:
I love how the movies add conflicts for him and shows that he's growing into a more caring person. Seriously can't wait for the last movie to show the ending in the rooftop. It's going to be even more painful because now he has a character ;___;

If you had a final attack what would it be?

I'd call all of my robot friends (Aigis, Megaman, etc.) to crush the enemies o/

what inspires you to draw?

Pretty much my favorite things; such as characters, games, anime, manga, etc. and other artists' drawings. The first one would be best explained with Persona 3. I love the story and characters so much that I just want to draw out the scenes that are not in the game (i.e. Makoto and Aigis' Christmas date, P3XP4 fanart, etc.)
For the second one, it's more like a motivation than inspiration, but I always get the urge to draw whenever I see a really good drawing; especially by my favorite artists. Their coloring/drawing technique is so good that I feel like I want to do the same thing too.

What got you into drawing, and how fast did you see yourself improving after you started?

Manga magazines, specifically Nakayoshi. When I was little, I wanted to know how to draw, so I just look at my cousin's manga and I was surprised at how good the art is. I wanted to draw like the artists in the manga, so first I started copying their artworks (not trace). Eventually I got pretty good at drawing my own things and I kept practicing in my spare time.
I started to draw seriously since I was 10 years old. I've improved a lot since then, but not too much because I never take any formal art classes in college and high school art classes were easy as pie.

Some of these are more like an inspiration for me than influencing my art style, but I wish to reach their level one day!

As an artist, what is your favourite and least favourite character, enemy and persona designs in the Persona series?

Matt Wilson
Favorite designs
Character: Aigis. She looks like a human, but there are some parts of her that makes her looks like a robot. She just feels different compared to other robot designs in anime/video games.
Persona: Io. I like how it's basically a girl sitting on top of an ox (?) Head.
Enemy: The Reaper. Double weilding guns and cool cloak.
Least favorite designs
Character: Kenji. He's literally the most regular-looking guy in the series.
Persona: Akihiko's persona Polydeuces. His small head and legs combined with large body makes him looks stupid.
Enemy: Any shadow with color-swapped designs

what the heck is Suikoden? Never played one before.

AcidOhEight’s Profile PhotoAlex
It's a JRPG series with 108 recruitable characters and great story. I only played Suikoden 1 and 2, but those two games have EXCELLENT story (especially 2). The series is connected in one universe, but you don't really lose anything by starting in the middle.
Playing 1 before 2 is very recommended though, as 2 has a lot of references to 1. I really recommend you to play 1 (available on PSN) as soon as possible and possibly emulate 2 because it's the BEST game in the series.

Hey, HEY! You've told me that it can take several hours to finish a drawing. How do you approach drawing? Do you sit down and draw for several hours >>> break >>> (repeat until done?) Or do you multitask? As someone with a small attention span, I don't think I could sit down for hours and draw.

PsiGaming’s Profile PhotoShock And Rock
I only draw on weekends, so I sit down and draw for a couple of hours (which varies between 2-6 hours) every day.
I could draw for 10 hours straight if I can, but if I don't know how to draw something, I tend to take a long break from the drawing (as long as 1 year!).
My left shoulder also hurts if I draw for too long, so I stop if it gets too painful.
So basically I draw for a couple of hours > break > continue drawing the next day. I like drawing that much that I could do it for 10 hours straight :P

What do you want to do as a career?

Smedwicks’s Profile PhotoDustin Cash
I was thinking to get into a biology research field as a scientist, but it sounds boring now and I wouldn't like it if I have to type research proposals for grants all the time. I am now thinking about assistant physician, but I'm still not sure yet.
I'm not answering the question here, actually. What I WANT as a career is to be an animator for a movie or a video game company because I really like to draw and I want to create 3D models to be used in a movie/game that a lot of people will enjoy.
