My inspiration came from a redraw of random OCs, my love for Game of Thrones and costume design, and the annoyance that there always gotta be some kind of magic/mystic folk in fantasy adventure drama. Which actually is stupid because it's fantasy, of course there'll be magic but. I was tired of it. One thing why I got into GoT was because it (at first) had no magic elements, it was just the "normal," ordinary and political life in an alternate world - until the ice giants came etc.
So I kind of wanted to do this. Also a little less deadly than GoT with a less confusing line of heirs to the crown because of diffuse relations........ eventually, it became it's very own thing, but yeah, the first spark came from there.

What inspired my story is Japanese folklore of demons and such. Animes like InuxBoku SS, Noragami, Kamisama Hajimemashita, etc, always spark my eyes due to the supernatural Yokai. I have always wanted to make my own story about Yokai but never had enough experience to draw Yokai. But I still gave it a try after finally having a story in my mind.
I called it Exorcism War and it's about a war between Yokai and Exorcists.

My story is inspired by real life childhood friendships mixed with my various other interests (cartoons, spooky stories, etc.)

It was thank to a random incident.
When i was a kid and i was playing with my cousins,for some reason i found a rock in my toy box. I mockingly used it as a "character" in the same way Plank from ed, edd and eddy is a character: an inanimate object.
I made "Rocky" the hero of this "story" and we laughed a lot. That incident remained in my memory for many years. I had to make a story with that concept, so i started drawing Rocky the rock. My family and friends loved it, so many years later i decided to improve the story and post it here.

And that is how it happened.

The inspiration for Facts About the World changes from one issue to the next, usually the ideas come from a simple everyday encounter and I just build it all up into something completely nonsensical from there. The initial spark for the project as a whole was mainly to do with Ivor Cutler and Reeves & Mortimer; I grew up with their comedy (not remotely appropriate for kids but what the hey) and it definitely warmed me up to dark and surreal humour, as they handle it in a way that feels really warm and personable.

Ahh.. this is a bit of a weird and petty reason but AYAKA was inspired by me being annoyed at a certain anime. But I guess from then on it sort of grew into it's own story lol

What The Fott?© started when we had a fun idea to make a comic based in the Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century® role-playing game universe.

Cera and her Smart Gun grew out of a concept for a Battlelords animated series pitch we put together in late 2010. Cera was a friend of the main character Jaloon.

The web comic is Cera’s story and her life on the war torn planet of Trell. Once we realized her weapon was a Smart Gun that should talk back everything started to fall into place.

Above is Cera's original concept art, created by Julie Robert

For my novel series Kegare (which is being turned into a comic thanks to collobartion with Nohm), I was inspired by my love for Supernatural creatures and the cultures that created them. I wanted to create a series that didn't just focus on one society's monsters but one that touched on all of them.

For my short stories, Devil on my Shoulder, I was mostly inspired to make something good out of my nightmares. I mean if I have to be sleep deprived, something might as well come out of it XD
