Heya!

I thought I'll try this out too.

Heyho, let's go! Ask me what you want!

Where did your original inspiration for Sky come from?

How long have you been an artist?

The inspiration for Sky came with the 12th movie of LBT when I first saw Guido.
I liked the design of a microraptor and so, before I was even a member here, I came up with the wingtails (I haven't made up the species name yet though).

I guess for 2-3 years. Actually, I started drawing in 2004 when I was still at middle school. But quite rarely. I gave it up a few months later...
After seeing an LBT movie in 2007, it made me an artist again. But this time, for real.

I might as well help you fill up your questions thread

Apart from Sky, Star, and Glide, who would you say is your favourite character in the story so far?

And of course, tell me why.

Before I ask my question, I want you to know two things:

1. I love your avatar and would never wish for you to change it.

2. I feel like my brain hasn’t been firing on all cylinders lately (probably the result of being assigned too many confusing college assignments

); hence, my question is a little absurd.

:

I just can’t help but ask: In your avatar, what’s holding up the pencil on Sky’s head? He’s got no ears.

Hard to say... there are many great characters.
But I think I would go with Eybron (for now). He caught my attention when he wanted to date Star. The thing he said to Glide, about how lonely life for her would be without a mate, was really mean, but it made perfect sense. So he's like an intelligent villain and I like that.

Pangaea
Argh, so someone finally found out!

With duct tape maybe? I can't really tell... I just thought a pencil would fit. ^^
I actually wanted to change my avatar for some time... of course it'll be the LBT-Style Sky, just without the glasses and pencil.

But I'm glad you like it so much.

Pangaea · **Reply #7 on:** November 04, 2009, 09:31:43 PM

^ Ah, maybe he's got it tucked into some feathers on the side of his head.

Who cares? It looks great. (The perfect avatar for an LBT artist, in my opinion.)

Is there a complete version of that image anywhere? I’d like to see it uncropped.

Me too.

Yes, there is:

Caustizer · **Reply #10 on:** November 06, 2009, 11:28:26 PM

That is such a good picture... now you can see why I was inspired to write Far Away Home based on a single work of art.

Hmm I just noticed I'm only 6 posts away from becoming a queen.... huzzah!

Why did you change from your first Sky avatar?

Sky · **Reply #12 on:** February 04, 2010, 06:51:40 AM

Well, I wanted to change my avatar for so long now (as it is really old now) and finally decided to update.

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #13 on:** February 06, 2010, 08:04:00 AM

Do you draw any of your inspiration from any other artists/animators/cartoonists from the industry? If so, who and what do you admire about them.

Sky · **Reply #14 on:** February 06, 2010, 12:19:34 PM

Inspiration comes from everywhere so I don't really have someone I could admire.

Though, I was watching some Disney classics like Tarzan or Lion King and I must say, the music is the one which inspires me a lot... especially music from Phil Collins.

Caustizer · **Reply #15 on:** February 10, 2010, 05:04:10 PM

I love music from the Lion King too and I especially love Phil Collins, here is a video of Elton John singing "Circle of Life" live,

Also, I have a question for you Sky.

What do you plan to do in the comic you are working on?

Sky · **Reply #16 on:** February 11, 2010, 02:36:57 PM

Yeah, the soundtrack of Lion King and it's sequel are awesome.

Though, I prefer the movie version of "Circle of Life".

To your question:
I haven't started writing the story down yet. School keeps me busy. <_<
The rough idea is, that Sky can't remember his past. He spent most of his years in the Great Valley enjoying his life not worrying about it... until he meets a certain girl named Star.

The title is still undecided.

Caustizer · **Reply #17 on:** February 14, 2010, 02:28:51 AM

Is your character Star based on a real person or is she completely fictional?

Sky · **Reply #18 on:** February 14, 2010, 06:12:39 AM

Hard to say... first, I just thought making a new character.
I few weeks after that, I had an LBT dream with the gang playing around while Star surprised and kissed me.
It was weird at first, but I seem to like her more and more, even though she is not real.

Later on DeviantArt, a friend said that she could be someone I have met or someone I will meet in the future. Now that I'm thinking about it, there was one girl I always played with when I was little. We were best friends but now I don't have any contact to her. :unsure:

So Star is basically a mix of fiction and real.

Caustizer · **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2010, 09:58:04 PM

Was Glide created solely for the purpose of being an antagonist towards Sky and Star's relationship, or did you have more plans for him as a character?
