Q&A Time!

I already started working on the next animation by the way, and can't wait to prepare a good material to share with you. :D

Q&A Time!

Comments

I'm working on a Nier: Automata animation at the moment, I'm planning on sharing the progress of it by Friday! Right now I have a very limited amount of knowledge about Fate's lore and character dynamics, but since there's a lot of very pretty designs there, like Mordred, Caenis, Saber, Rin, Astolfo and Ishtar. Maybe it's worth diving into to make animations for. And as a side note, OrangeMaru's (YD) Fate doujinshis are amazing and really help me consider to draw Fate characters. For the near future, I have other animations that are higher on my priority list. However I also plan on occasionally work on NSFW illustrations for my supporters, so Fate characters seem like a great option for that!

So what's next? And any chance of fate characters?

In regards to Hilda: omfg I'm so excited. That sounds amazing! Can't wait to see what u cook up for us! In regards to frieren: lots of potential!!! Glad ur on board! In regards to Nintendo characters: it's cool that you're considering peach too! But I completely understand the fear of big corpos stomping on u. I don't think Pokemon has that problem tho since it's a subsidiary run by game freak and not the actual Nintendo company. But God peach/Zelda would be hype as hell from u!!!! Thanks for the update. U got good taste!

My favorite script right now is a Fire Emblem Three Houses one featuring Hilda! It's already storyboarded and I really want to finish it soon. It turned out to be a complex project so I'm organizing myself to be able to finish big projects while still delivering monthly animations. So don't worry, it will be finished in the future! I watched three episodes of Frieren so far, I liked a lot but I've been too busy to finish it, It has some really cute characters and I personally love elf girls. as for Pokemon, there are some incredible characters there, full of potential! But I'll admit I kinda of afraid of the scary corporation behind it, I might have to study a bit more te reality of other animators regarding this to comfortably deliver Pokemon, Zelda and Peach animations!

Bruno Sousa

MHA is okay (and its how I found you), but I'm hyped to know you're considering one piece, persona, zelda and fire emblem!!! I'd definitely subscribe for a chance of those! As to other franchises, I'd be ecstatic to see frieren or pokemon stuff!!! Btw, if you havent seen frieren its literally the highest rated anime of all time and worth the watch.

I have a LOT of scripts finished and some animations already storyboarded, some of them are more creative and others more basic. Between my already finished scripts are plans for Evangelion, Persona, One Piece, Nier, Fire Emblem, Street Fighter, Cyberpunk, PaSwG, Darling in the franx, Dragon ball, Rent a girlfriend, Rwby and even Vshojo. Outside of course of the My hero academia and ZZZ ones, that I'm still interested in. And in the other hand, there a lot of other franchises that I really want to write some animations for but didn't done it yet, Genshin Impact and Zelda are two examples that comes to mind. I really like variety and am open for suggestions for future animations! (Will create suggestions posts and polls in the future). Although I will most likely only animate franchises I already have some appreciation for, to ensure that my parodies align with the source material. From the franchises I mentioned, which one of them would you be more interest in? And let me know which series outside of the mentioned ones you are interested in watching it!

Bruno Sousa

What other series are you interested in animating?

Don't worry, I find those kind of challenges to be really fun! I do plan on doing some OC stories and animations in the future, but right now I need a break from designing characters, so that would have to wait a bit. Designing for 2d animation is very different from designing for games or tabletops. Right now my learning is lazer focused on delivering the most satisfying animations possible for you all, but I'll definitely learn it in the future!

Bruno Sousa

Thank you for the very thorough answer! Sorry to challenge you so much haha. That's super cool you were a character designer in the past! Would love to see some of your OC at some point :)

That feels like the hardest question ever! I've already worked as a character designer in the past, so to make the question harder I will not pick any of my previously designed characters (neither for clients or for myself). I prefer to draw girls and my favorite female character it's Satsuki from Kill la kill but ironically I very rarely drew her in the past, so she doesn't feel like a good choice. For this answer would I need a character versatile enough so I may draw them in a good variety of different contexts and situations, for that reason I will not pick neither Aigis (Persona 3) or May (Guilty gear), that are between the characters I drew the most in the past. I would also need a commercially viable character, something with a general public appeal and not from specially hostile company. That would make me inclined to not pick neither Zelda, or some characters from underground indie games I played in the past. Despite liking them a lot as well. For those reasons, I would pick Hatsune Miku! She got enough variety with her outfits and her designs never get old for me!

Bruno Sousa

There is a possibility indeed! I'm more inclined to animate the ZZZ characters that were in the game at release, since it was the time period that I played the game. So Grace and Rina would fit into that category, and besides, I think Rina is gorgeous! The main drawback of animating ZZZ characters is that their designs are VERY complex, so I would need to get better at simplifying them if I'm going to keep animating the franchise.

Bruno Sousa

Are you gonna do more Zenless Zone Zero animations? The girl I think people would wanna see next would be Grace, Rina, or Burnice.

Victor Rivera

If there was only one character you could draw or animate, who would it be and why?

MerinoMarauder

Thank you! For my animation inspirations: Suoiresnu and Amplected were my whole reasons to start animating in the first place, and I feel like I can learn a lot from Diives storytelling and erotic scenes. As for my illustration inspirations: There's a LOT or artist that were important for my growth as an artist so I'll use games instead. My main source of study for the anime art style were Genshin Impact and Granblue Fantasy. Before studying those games, my art looked a bit more like Overwatch with anime eyes. Now speaking as art as a whole, in different phases of life I had different inspirations and media that filled me with energy to draw, some of them are Gurren Lagann, Persona 3, Zelda, KNKL, Nomnomnami, Rinotuna, Kohei Horikoshi, Henrique Lira and many many others!

Bruno Sousa

I love ur art style I wanted to known is it inspired by anyone ?
