I Don't Know You! Let's change that!

[nathankschulz]

Castleland! Okay that is not a great name. Haha
But jokes aside, yeah it sounds like this idea has some legs on it!

[guilhermecahu]

I'm gonna join this too, it sounds fun.

1. I don't have a favorite dinosaur (I usually don't have a favorite thing) but there are some still-living animals I like very much, like Pitangus sulphuratus (which is part of a bird gang that comes to steal barn from our only barn-made flower pot and to poop on our plants) and Myrmecophaga tridactyla, the giant anteater. And I like illustrations with animals, as you can probably predict. Extra: and I'm not furry.

2. I have some favorite smells: one that I think is from Ruta graveolens (common rue), from Jasminum plants and that nice smell of rain.

3. I like traditional media, specially pencils (graphite and colored) and pastels.

Oh and this is my series.

[nathankschulz]

I'm glad you joined in, because it IS fun!
1. So you LIKE the animals that steal from you and crap on your stuff? Okay. You like a little foul with your fowl. Giant ant-eaters are friggin' awesome, totally agree. And I never thought you were furry, so you're good.
2. Jasimin plants do smell amazing. I really like how gardenias smell too. And I think my favorite smell is black tea. Before it gets seeped.
3. OG way, I totally respect that. You like your art to feel hand-made with love.

My favorite dinosaur is the Ankylosaurus. Why? Cuz when I was a kid, I thought it would make the perfect pet.

Apparently, Disney agrees with you. haha

1. My favorite dino is Parasaurolophus. I think I like these guys because of their interesting head. It's very unique and seems like something straight out of a fantasy. They feel like they should be a made up dinosaur but it really existed. I swear it did! I saw it's skeletons in a museum once ;D
   

2. The Aquabats are my inspirational heroes. They inspire me to pursue my goals and never give up because they never did.
   

3. I may just be the most boring happy fun loving person you'll ever meet. I don't play video games or watch tv, I draw comics, listen to silly happy music, and on occasion get up and dance around the room with my cats watching in horror. It's a good time.
   

[nathankschulz]

I used to work at Disneyland... I guess they were listening to me after all!
1. I believe you! It is an awesome looking dinosaur. You chose wisely!
2. The Bat Commander is my spirit animal! The Aquabats are rad... SUPERRAD.
3. You just described a very cool person. Congrats!

It's nice to meet you all, I've been a Tapastic reading lurker since 2013 but only recently started uploading my art sturffs.
If life goes according to plan (LOL) I will be uploading a comic series up later this year.

•1• Hmm my favorite dinosaur growing up is a toss up between the Triceratops and the Apatosaurus. Thanks to Don Bluth's influence, no doubt.
My very first Free Comic Book Day comic (we were only allowed one comic per kid back then) I chose Cadillacs and Dinosaurs because dinosaurs + muscle cars in a post-apocalyptic world setting!!!! It couldn't get any better than that! I still have that issue as well as the full collection of Xenozoic on my shelves.

•2• I keep Christmas lights up in my room year round. (mostly white but multi-colored are good too.)

•3• My parents let me stay up to watch Wagner's Complete Ring Cycle when I was just a wee munchkin (under ten years old) and I stayed awake for the entire thing glued to the TV completely mesmerized. O_O
THAT was the beginning of my life long friendship with all things fantasy. XD

[nathankschulz]

Hello! We can't wait to see your comic!
1. Don Bluth has influenced many a young mind. In a great way. Dinosaurs & Cadillacs is a sweet read.
2. Xmas lights have a great effect on a room. Both soothing and whimsical.
3. Whoa, that's cool. Mine was watching Willow and Big Trouble In Little China on a continuous loop.

[williamjbowles]

First off, welcome to Tapastic!
Second, anyone who uses the phrase "cool cats" unironically is someone worth listening to.
Thirdly, Ankylosaurus is definitely a good choice.

1. I've been inventing stories and drawing pictures almost my entire life. You'd think I'd have started doing comics before now.
2. My favorite food... is breakfast.
3. D&D player here, too!

Oh, and by the way, my comic is Outcast Kingdom. It's sort of a light-hearted fantasy adventure.

[VikingSnark]

Willow and Big Trouble in Little China, now that is a combo of most excellence!
Any thoughts on the possible remake of BTILC?

[rodrigomush]

Hi, i started my comic this week in the site TV Kids Are So Yesterday, its a gag strips, mainly i'm joking with anime/manga culture for now.

So to the facts:

1. I didn't watch Labyrinth until i was 20 years old cause i was really scared with David Bowie in the VHS cover when i were a child, and tought was a horror movie.
2. I'm reading old Flash comics, since the begining of the Wally West era and i'm loving it.
3. My dog's name is Dedé.

[nathankschulz]

Hey thanks! You are officially a cool cat yourself!
1. Its never too late to start.
2. Breakfast is beloved for a reason. I'm a lunch fan, but mostly my allegiance is to french fries.
3. Awesome! What's your usual go to character?

[nathankschulz]

They are just great movies to have over and over as I have.
I personally don't want a remake. But if the right team gets assembled for it, than maybe I can be swayed. Haha

[nathankschulz]

Hey there!
1. Actually that's a funny point. He did look scary.
2. Oh man, everything Mark Waid wrote is great. And I really enjoyed Geoff Johns' run.
3. What kind of dog is Dede?

[williamjbowles]

I don't really have a go-to character, as I haven't really played enough to have a 'default'. By circumstance, I've found myself being the GM most often. In the game I'm currently playing, (with some house rules,) I'm a satyr mage. But in general, I usually gravitate towards healing, support, or good characters, so probably cleric or paladin? But not always.
What about you?

[rodrigomush]

1. Man, the kid-me didn't liked even to stare the cover.
2. I'm beginning the mark waid phase now, allways heard great things about his run, and i love him as a comic writer.
3. He's a Dachshund, but his legs isn't short like the majority.

[guilhermecahu]

I'm glad you joined in, because it IS fun!

xD It's actually fun watching those little rascals doing stuff on the balcony. At ~6:30am they're poking at the glass windows, and it's a Pitangus sulphuratus along with a bird from another species. I think they're a subdivision of the same gang.

And man, you just gave me an idea for a pun I'm gonna use in a future series. Thank you very much xD

Though I like such materials, I unfortunately can't afford buying pastels. They'd make coloring much faster and help me use colored pencils only for details. Coloring this background, for example, was a total pain =_=

[nathankschulz]

I've GM'd once, but was actually for The Dresden Files RPG. It was really fun!
I like to vary my character. I usually wait till I hear what everyone is going to be, and then be the opposite or the piece they're missing. If that's not an option, I really enjoy the wise-cracking Orc Barbarian or exasperated Tiefling Wizard.

[nathankschulz]

1. Too be fair, looking back at Labyrinth, it was pretty intense at points.
2. His latest Daredevil run was been spot on incredible.
3. A tall Dachshund? You just blew my mind.

[rodrigomush]

Yeah, i tought my uncle who gave him was just wrong about that, but the veterinary confirmed.

[nathankschulz]

A gang of mischievous birds! Well if you liked THAT other pun wait till I ask you some True or FOWLS questions!

WHOOOA!!

And we're back.
Art supplies are not cheap. Its an expensive pursuit. But what an awesome pursuit! The expression and freedom is addictive.
