Questions, Questions
uNF!
. Here we go:1. What does your deviantART name mean and why?
[link]
Evangelion is my favorite anime of all time, plus I love the concept of “the angel of free will.” I get into discussions about free will often when it comes to religion, so it seemed to fit.
2. What fandom were you obsessed with when you joined and what are you into now?
Well, scrolling through my gallery, you’ll see a good chunk of Sonic the Hedgehog fanart. I was also pretty into Kim Possible (yeah, I have odd tastes, I know). That was a while ago. I don’t particularly have much of an interest in Sonic anymore. It kind of got ruined for me from various factors. Right now, while into stuff personally, I don’t draw any fanart anymore. So I guess I’m just obsessed with “Alone in a Crowd.”
3. How many watchers do you have now?
Looks to be around 87.
4. Name 3 of your favourite artists on dA.
5. Do you comment, fav, or both?
I try to do both whenever I can. I’m not fond of faving without leaving at least a LITTLE comment.

I used to way back when. I don’t anymore.

As for mine, feel free to drop by anytime. It's still in its illustrated childhood, only 6 pages...I'm slow >_> I'm shooting for a page a week, school tends to derail the best laid plans however.
Which actually brings another question to mind. It seems a lot of online comic writers only plan a few pages or an arc ahead. Which did you choose; a completed story, arc by arc, or just a few pages ahead? I can't plan ahead to save my life, so I've opted for the completed story so I know where I need to go. Otherwise holy ADD story! Speaking of which, now I'm rambling...heh.

That doesn't mean I have NO clue what's going to come within the course of the strip from start to finish (whenever that is in the far off future). I have quite a few story arcs and ideas that I want to do, I just haven't decided where and when to do them. No matter what though, I want to have things planned out many pages ahead, that way I know everything will work out and play off each other. If I want to change something in an earlier strip so I can do something else in a later strip, then this way I'm able to. But I wouldn't say I always have a complete arc written out as a final script when I start it. Mostly just the general flow.
I find even when you do write a lot of ahead of time, it doesn't necessarily help you. I had Alone in a Crowd in my head before I was ready to actually do it. So between then and when I actually started drawing the strips, I wrote FAR ahead. In fact, I'm still making strips based off my initial scribblings from back then. The problem is that at one point I changed a very important plot point. That meant that all the scripts following that had to be re-written to reflect the change. So even though I have quite a few AIAC scripts already written and planned out right now, they still can require some re-writing and such when I actually go to draw them. That, or I may decide to throw a whole new strip within the ones already planned out. That's happened quite a few times.

Thanks for the add btw, it's appreciated. If this first week back student teaching doesn't kill me I'll have to make it something worth seeing, haha.
