=> Stands for answer!

Star!About animationStar!

Q = What programs do you use to animate ?
A  = Vegas Pro 12.0 for animating -Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit) for sketching and animating - Sai for making the neat line arts

Q = Have you tried to animate in any other programs than Photoshop ?
A  = no

Q = Have you tried to do 3D animations
A  = not yet

Q = Animation is such a lengthy process, what do you do to keep yourself motivated?
A  = I usually think about scenes that I personally find good so that I have something to look out for,but mainly all the fan-art and nice comments of people is what motivates me the most

Q = Have you ever had a time when your so pissed off from animating that you want to quit?
A  = Honestly, no ... animating feels soothing 

Q = How long did it take you to learn animating?
A  = Not that long to be honest, I kinda understood the basics of needing pictures that move, so understanding how to animate went in maybe a day, as for how long it takes to learn to animate good, it takes years of practice


Star!About artStar!

Q = What programs do you use for drawing ?
A  = Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit) / Sai (mix)

Q = What tablet do you use?
A  = Bamboo CTE-450

Q = What is your motivation for Art
A  = Azurehowl, animals, nature, everything that brings my mind to a calm state of thinking

Q = What made you want to start drawing/art and how old were you when you started?
A  = Well as everyone, there is no person that can say they never drew something before as a child, but if I think back about wolves and when I started drawing them all the time , then it started around 2009, I can't paste an age on it mainly because in my previous years I did draw before too, but those were random moment or artworks, but honestly I don't think you should judge one on age, knowing that some people start later than others, and others have more time to improve or some are just able to learn and improve fast while others need more time to improve, for me my respect goes to all the artists that have to work so hard to improve.

Q = Any tips for learning anatomy?
A  = yes, photo's, there is no better way than looking at reality, people who simply way say they never looked at anatomy and photo's while producing good art are highly likely using ref too to learn... You can only learn good structure and anatomy by learning from the reality which can be found in photo's , I advise not to look at personal tutorials from people but instead photo's ! As people their tutorial can learn you mistakes, no one is perfect and when following personal tutorials, you might end up either copying their style or drawing the animal with mistakes etc... When I was trying to learn about anatomy I saw this guy who drew wolves almost perfectly, and he was the one telling me that he doesn't make tutorials because even if he did draw it as good as perfect, no one is perfect, so photo's or visiting the animal in real life are a good way to learn to draw them.

Q = Do you take requests, do you make free gifts ?
A  = No I do not, I don't have all the time for the world to work for free etc, I need to earn money plus i'm usually busy.

Q = Do you do art trades?
A  = Actually I do in some cases, I will consider doing an art trade if the other artist is at least a bit skilled too, but it also depends on how much time I have.

Q = Do you do point/paypal commissions ?
A  = Yes I do, on my page you can find the commissions widget for points, this allows me to earn money with points, I also use paypal. 

Q = Can I pay after my cm is finished ?
A  = No, Sadly I won't allow that, because the chances that I finish something and won't be payed for it will be pretty big. 

Q = Can I get a cheaper price on my cm ?
A  = No, it wouldn't be fair to give you a cheaper deal while everyone else pays the normal price. 

Q = Can I draw you a gift or Fan art for Azurehowl ?
A  = Yes of course, you don't have to ask me I love fan art. But plz DO WARN me! It happened before that people make fan art and don't even tell me resulting that I haven't seen it.

Q = I need some help with animation, do you want to help me with my series ?
A  = No, i'm busy enough with my own work. 

Q = Hey it's my birthday will you make me a present?
A  = No, if I would make a present for everyone's birthday I would be busy non stop, besides I only make b-day presents for very good friend but even so I barley have enough time even to make presents for good friends.

Star!About AzureHowlStar!

Q = What inspired you to make AzureHowl
A  = Obviously wolves did, to be truly honest I could talk about this question and give you a full summary, but to keep it short, wolves inspired me but not only that, as a kid I had the habit to write a lot of stories, I have always loved fantasy, because fantasy is the only thing that drags me away from this very normal world, so to be able to animate and create colorful characters, is like a dream come true for me, as a kid, I always drew colorful animals, and knowing that I loved wolves I just wanted to make a story about them, I had a previous story featuring Ruuza, but I changed that one to make Azurehowl, I am inspired by many things, even by old games like heroes and age of empires ( the games allowed me to make worlds etc), but also other games like golden sun,etc...But there is a lot of information here that I cannot provide, so in the future I might make a video about it.

Q = How do you design your characters?
A  = Well not sure how to explain that one, but usually I tend to look at other animals and if I see darker shades which seem to form markings I usually base myself of that, or I just draw designs over and over again, till I find the one I need.

Q = Lot's of people quit there wolf stories, your not gonna quit right ?
A  = Absolutely not, AzureHowl is special to me, I know that many people I have known in the past quit their stories etc to start new ones and so on... but no, i'm not gonna stop with it, it was my childhood dream, and that dream has granted me a lot, I have met many amazing animators, artists, voice actors etc... So AzureHowl has done so much, and it would be a shame if I stopped... 

Q = When is the next episode coming ?
A  = I don't know. I have no personal studio etc or a huge amount of animators to finish an episode in a week or so, remember that even though I do have colorist to help out, I still animate everything on my own, I draw all the backgrounds etc !!! I can't paste a date on it! When it's in the half, I will always upload a trailer, when it's almost done I will notify the people!  Stop asking this questions it's bloody annoying!!!!

Q = Can I re upload your art somewhere to use it for rp, or can I rp your characters?
A  = No, re uploading my work is forbidden, as for rp, it makes more sense if you make a fan character and rp that one, not my characters please.  

Q = Can I have my character in your series ?
A  = No, the story is written, adding in characters would only make it harder.

Q = Can Voice act a character?
A  = You can only voice act a character if auditions are open, and if you have entered and won.

Q = Can I make a fan character, can I sell fan made fan characters?
A  = You can make fan characters when reading the rules in the AzureHowl group, and NO you can not use my designs and make fan characters for the purpose of selling.

Q = I have an idea for your story can I give it ?
A  = No people *sigh*, I made this story myself, it's impossible for you to give story ideas if I am the one who knows all the backgrounds and you do not...I would never accept ideas because the story is already written. 

Q = I don't understand something...
A  = Sometimes re watching an episode can be helpful in this matter! Aside from that there is a brand new site you might want to check out as it explains a lot of details about AzureHowl => azurehowl.weebly.com/

Star!About me Star!

A  = hmmm probably not, i'm more or less introvert and I don't trust people easily so I usually avoid contact in real life as much as I can.

Q = Can we be friends ?
A  = I don't mind having a chat with people, but honestly it's awkward when you ask that. Imagine walking on the street and someone says, hey can we be friends ? It's the same thing, friends is something you become not something that you ask. 

Q = I am making adoptable characters, would you adopt one ?
A  = Highly likely no, I sadly have no purpose and reason to adopt characters, if I did they would not be used and since I don't want that, I will highly likely not adopt a char.

Q = I made art can you see it ?
A  = If the art is fan art related to AzureHowl of course you can! But if it's random art you made, people I get daily people asking if I can't watch their art and leave a comment, if i'll do that i'll be busy forever, so sadly if it's not AzureHowl related, no.

Q = Are you religious? 
A  = No i'm not.

Q = What do you think about taxidermy/hunting? 
A  = I'm against it, simple as that.

Q = Favorite animals?
A  = Cats(felines), wolves, snakes, crocodile, reptiles, walruses, Ravens, Elephants, dinosaurs 

Q = Do you add/remove people from your friend list?
A  = I only add if I get a long well with you but I do remove people from time to time depending on how much we talk. 

Q = Did you go to a school to learn animating?
A  = No I did not, I started out with paint animations
