The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Questions? Go ahead and ask me

Actually, when I drew the "Forgotten Friends" comic, the cover was a bit 'empty' and I just added Glide to fill the picture. He wasn't Star's brother at that time.  

More plans? Hmm... I'm not quite sure yet. But reading your fanfic sure gives me some ideas. :yes
I hope I'll come up with something interesting while writing the comic (which is about 1/4 finished).  :)

Having seen your (very nice :yes) latest art piece, I noticed that Star seems to have membranous wings like a pterosaur, with a layer of feathers on top, while Sky's wings are entirely feathered. Any reason for the difference?

Female wingtails have membranous wings. Male wingtails have fully feathered.  :)
Also note that females have a skirt-like bottom while males have shorts-like one.

I wanted to seperate their gender somehow so I came up with these ideas.  :yes

Well this isn't really a question, but I seriously like the "Dawn of a Wingtail" picture in your signature. From design (especially design - I suck at that) to artwork, it's verrrry well done. I wish I had your talent. :]

Which do you see as the best talent a person can possess... artistic talent, writing talent, or linguisitic talent?

Also, are you making any progress on your Dawn of a Wingtail Comic Strip?

Hard to say... I think every person should have their own talent. :yes It would be boring if everyone can do the same thing like the other.  :p

Not quite. Other than drawing concept arts, the story is still far from finished.  :o

Do you want to use any of the Far Away Home characters or personalities in your comic, or is it a strictly seperate universe?

It would be nice and kinda funny if a character of Far Away Home would have a 'guest appearance' in the comic.  :DD With your permission of course. :yes
Other than that, Dawn of a Wingtail will be a completely different universe.

In Far Away Home, which group do you find more interesting to follow... Sky and Littlefoot's group or Cera and Ruby's group?

Also, what do you think about Glide's character developments over the past few chapters?

Now aside from the 'practice makes perfect' line, what inspires you to draw?

It's just for the fun of it. :) I can express my feelings by just drawing a picture and it's a different way to tell a story, like the "a picture is worth a thousand words".  :yes

Whoops. Sorry Caustizer, I overlooked your question.  :oops

To give it an answer:
Actually, I find Ruby's group more interesting to follow as you can see more new characters than Sky's group. :yes

And about Glide... hmm, I think he makes an interesting development, from a bad guy to a 'nicer' bad guy.  :smile
I guess Star's request to help the children influenced his character.  :p

Currently storyboarding on the first few pages. You know, paneling on how the pages should look like. :)
Even though the story is finished, I have an unsure feeling that the story isn't "deep" enough. :unsure:
For example the villains. I'm unsure of their purpose, if their reasons are enough for being this and that... that goes also for other characters as well.

I might change the storyline slightly as I progress, trying to make it movie-like.  ;)

Are the variably shaped projections on the tails of your wingtail characters supposed to be comprised of feathers, or are they more like the vanes on the tails of some pterosaurs, made of reinforced skin?

The comic may get 50+ pages by the looks of it. :)

Their tails are more of a vane than feathers. But some wingtails have a few feathers added.  ;)

Are you making any progress on your LBT comic? I'm still very eager to see it, or at least the first page  :smile

Very slow. I just finished sketching one single page.  :o
Ugh, I hate to be a slow artist.  <_<
