There's also a cap on how fast I can improve because I write books and games, and a Jack of multiple trades will never be master of one. But I'm content with that.
I occasionally make a foray into something more realistic, because going where my discomfort lies is the key to improving my technical skill. But I am here for the gourd-heads and bubble-noses.
I'd characterize my aims as organic, cartoony, goofy, and as chiaroscuro as I can get away with.
These days, I'd list Watterson, Uderzo, Mignola, and Tezuka as my primary influences.
I'm actively trying to draw influence from older work, too. Drink from the wellspring instead of iterating on today's stuff.
I knew when I was 5 I wanted to be an animator. In my early teens, I played Sonic at a cousin's house and changed my answer to game creator. My first love was Looney Tunes, my second Sonic the Hedgehog.
Awesome Moments 1: The Kings of Earth will probably be available for sale early next year, as I'm working with a publisher. Meaning my next kids' book may well come out before it, even though I'll finish it before I start the other.
