Robogotchi says “hi everyone”. Anyways i’ve been busy so i haven’t really been posting much lately. I’ve been working on a zine and some other stuff behind the scenes which i can’t show you yet. I’m also in the Illustrator Spotlight now along with some other scarily talented people so thats exciting. Anyway I’ll answer some asks now. Bloop bloop. alfredspennyworth asked you: aw man I barely know of any Australian artists on tumblr, but you’re an Aussie, right? this is so exciting for me, haha! I am indeed, I’m not alone though here are a couple of others you might like who make cool things in the comics/animation department. There are probably more that i don’t know are Australian, anyway these guys are all great: Mr. Buffalo  Steps Over Snails Melaphantastic spacewinter asked you: How do you do it, the second you post your art, it spreads like a wild fire. It’s amazing lol. any tips to share :( ? I sold my soul a long time ago and I recommend you do the same. I don’t really know what to tell you I just keep on keeping on. I update fairly consistently and I hope that the stuff i do post is of a pretty high quality. You should always tag your stuff and use the featured tags so people see it (illustration, comics, artists on tumblr etc) and just be kind to people, civility costs you nothing. ravenskar asked you: I’ve just stumbled upon your blog, and it has brought me so much joy! I love your quirky style and sense of humour. You also like butts — as do I! You’re also based in Melbourne — as am I! Tumblr is a lovely place. I shall follow you now.  Thank you i’m glad you enjoy what i post! Melbourne is the art capital of Australia, and there are also lots of butts around so I guess we live in a good part of the world. de-collaged asked you: hello hello! omg i am in love with your illustrations/comics :-) i hope i can draw like you one day! Thank you! I hope you draw BETTER than me one day.  demonmidget asked you: DO YOU LIKE PONIES? By ponies i’m going to assume you’re referring to the My Little variety rather than actual horses and well… no… no i don’t. I’ve never watched it and i doubt i ever will.  Bye guys, have a good weekend.

This is probably just going to add fuel to the “make a game!” fire… Oh wells. If you want to reblog this without the text then go right ahead. princess-pirate asked you: you like pirates? girl pirates? I like all pirates, I don’t discriminate. souffle-etc asked you: You have no idea how stoked I am to see you’re doing an installation of Majora’s Mask themed comics. FUCKIN AWESOME if you’ll pardon my french. Seriously though, I just stumbled across your blog and your work is incredible :D keep up the great work! Thanks pal, glad you enjoyed the Majoras Mask comix. I did some Wind Waker ones as well if you missed them. I’ll be doing the Zelda Phillips CD-i games next. I WON’T, THIS IS A JOKE! kingofmanga asked you: Not an actual question but I wanted to tell you that I’ve practically fallen in love with your work! The minimalist qualities you employ in all your art really speaks to me and stands out in a way that I love. I’m an artist too and I just wanted to let you know that you’ve really inspired me~ Thank you! Feels pretty good to inspire people… strange and good. twistedheart asked you: Hey! I just discovered your tumblr, i like it! Love the drawing and the colors… I am drawing stuffs too, and i was wondering what was your technics? Like do you draw directly on Illustrator, paper, do you color with photoshop, illustrator?Well anyway, keep on the nice things you are doing! C L O T I L D E :]  I for the most part do everything in photoshop. inking, colours, everything. Unless It says “ink on paper” or something then you can bet your bottom dollar i did it in photoshop. I should draw in real life more than I do, i doodle a bit but it usually doesn’t end up finding its way onto the internet. Thanks for the questions guys. I got asked to do a pixel tutorial and I promise i’ll get around to it eventually.

I asked the twitter family for pixel suggestions and dragon in a bumper car won this round. I’ve had some of these questions in my inbox for awhile so, sorry for taking so long. Also a big hello to all the new followers, hope you like comics and stuff.  teddybearsjunk asked you: in the same vein, I would totally pay money to play your flash game Well don’t get your hopes up about any games getting made in the near future, but maybe one day in a galaxy far far away or even this galaxy i will make a game and you can maybe play it. It’ll be a pong clone and the ball will be pizza.  sneezypanda asked you: how do you go about treating the background in your works? you seem to have just enough background to make it interesting without being overpowering. What is your thought process in this regard? I just try and keep it simple and i don’t really think about backgrounds all that much. Usually when i’m thinking of something I have a pretty clear idea of how i want it to look, that doesn’t mean it always ends up that way because it’s an awful long way from my brain to my hand. I just try and make a background that doesn’t steal the focus, that doesn’t mean you can’t have little focal points in the background. Just keep it simple.  gulpun asked you: I see Ocarina of Time fan art everywhere, glad to see you giving some of the other ones some love. Well Majoras Mask is my favourite Zelda followed by Wind Waker. I’m certainly not saying i don’t like Ocarina of Time, i just like MM and WW more. So i don’t really feel that compelled to do anything from that game. Although I do have some fond memories playing it when I was a kid. lkpdragune asked you: Just wanted to let you know I love the zelda comics. Keep up the great work. Thank you! The zelda comics are fun to do and i’m glad a lot of people seem to have enjoyed them, although the 2nd part of the Majoras Mask comix kind of broke some hearts, don’t be sad lil zelda fans! It’ll be okay. Thanks! unicornbread asked you: love-love-love-love your art ^_^ Four times the love, i think you have to marry it now. I’m pretty sure thats the rule. Thanksss. becoolok asked you: Hey, I was just wondering how you do your illustrations ? do you use a graphics tablet ? Any tips on improving my own illustrations would also be good :) cheers Andy becoolok I answered a similar question once ages ago but basically yeah I use a tablet. My weapons of choice is a Wacom Intuos4 and photoshop cs5. Thats an expensive set up though and theres a really good tablet out there made by Monoprice which is super cheap (unless you live in australia where the postage was more than the tablet itself BUT I DIGRESS) I haven’t used one but all the reviews have been very favorable. As for improving your own illustrations, like everything in life the more you do it the better you will get. Draw every day, draw while you watch tv, draw on the train. It doesn’t have to be for a reason but the more you draw the better you will get.  Thanks for all the questions guys!

the1johnson asked: If I begged you to make a flash game with me would you consider it? I’m a fairly awesome programer!  Making games is a lot of work, I’m open to the idea but a mans gotta make a living as well. Plus i like to know what i’m getting into, like how much work/time i’ll need to put into a project. If you have a a legitimate plan for what you want to do and what you need from me then by all means send me an email and i’ll consider it because i’ve always wanted to make a game and i’m not gifted in the way of the programmer. So yeah i’m always open to projects and what not, shoot me an email and we can talk about it. This goes for anyone. Thanks for the question.

I hope you guys are very happy together <3 Anonymous asked: What kind of supplies do you use outside of photoshop (like pens and inks and things like that????) I have a Bic mechanical pencil which cost a dollar, some india ink which is infused with saliva, some fine liners which i think are artline. A couple of sharpie fineliners because they legit don’t bleed at all, its amazing. a regular old sharpie because i like sharpie things. Various coloured pencils of different brands, some good some bad all different. Paper comes down to whatever i have handy really, i have a dozen or so notebooks with varying quality of paper. Not much of the stuff i have made using these things has made it onto the internet though because i’m lazy when it comes to scanning.  Anonymous asked: Have you ever posted a picture of yourself? will you? I think my foot was in a photo one time. Maybe it was just my shoe. as for posting one? probably not, i’m shy.  Anonymous asked: What are your favorite comics, books, bands, movies, tv shows? Thats kind of a big question. I don’t actually read… many comics… at all… aside from web based comics that cross my path i think the last time i read an actual comic book was when i was maybe 7 and it was a phantom one. Oh i bought DEATH BLOW simply so i could walk around quoting seinfeld because i’m a prop comic through and through. Internet comics that I like are as follows: Klaus by R. Short is my favourite favourite favourite, I love super mutant magic academy so much as well. Jane Mai’s comics are perfect without a doubt and I love Ian Andersens daily journel comics. Oh man… I forgot about scott pilgrim, i own them lol… THATS KIND OF A GIVEN THOUGH RIGHT? Books: The Great Gatsby is my favourite, i wrote an essay about how Nick was deeply and madly in love with Gatsby one time. Trueee story. I also like Harry Potter. I don’t read as much as i should. Craig Fergusons autobiography is inspirational and amazing and you should read it.  Bands: The flaming Lips… plus many many more. I have a jam thing where i put up songs i like  Movies: Anything by Wes Anderson, anything featuring bill murray, Drive. Plus many many more… Shaun of the dead. TV shows: Community, The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Fraiser, Seinfeld, Game of Thrones. I like travel shows and cooking shows as well.  Thanks for the asks everyone.

Some of these have been sitting in my inbox for awhile so i should probably answer them. I asked twitter for suggestions for a picture but i ended up turning that into the last comic. Take that twitter! I don&#8217;t even have to use my brain anymore. Anyways&#8230; bahijd asked you: The Animal Crossing comics are so wonderful and honest. Thanks a lot for the effort of making them, made me very happy ( ^ o^) Well a wise Maré Odomo once said &#8220;I’ve decided that, personally, the two most important things about comics are Honesty and Love, because I’m a sad sappy sucker.&#8221; and he knows a thing or two about comics.

Thanks for the message and the lil emoticon that looks like an octopi.  aprincesademarte asked you: what is your inspiration for the illustrations? I dunno a lot of different things. Depends what i&#8217;m drawing really. I like drawing cute things. Animal crossing is a given&#8230; life, death and butts. Stuff and things. sergeantsquid asked you:  Please make a book of Adventures in Escapism, they are so good! Zines will become available when i get some money in my pocket and a spring in my step so make sure you keep an eye out i guess. If any publishers are reading this however, call my people (my people is me) petitehead asked you: here i’m procrastinating on your site, i like it a lot, well need to go back to finish some finals yeah.  I&#8217;m a little proud my site has been used as a source of procrastination.

Hi Don, why anon? Thats a poem. Thanks for the kind words. I have received many a message about saving farfetch’d but i’ve decided even though it is possible to get a farfetch’d back its not my farfetch’d so I will let his memory live on in my heart. 


Thanks for the ANON (except don, kinda) questions everyone. 

PS. feel free to reblob without the text if you just want the gif. 

I got some questions so i drew a mystical pixel knight to accompany them, just &#8216;cause. luciusnathanael asked you:   Not really an ask&#8230; New to this site but I really love the Animal Crossing comics you&#8217;re doing. Everyone one of them I&#8217;ve seen are really hilarious. Keep it up, I love them. Thanks! It would have been pretty funny if after Kotaku put up that gallery i had run out of ideas for Animal Crossing comics and you guys all show up here thinking there will be more and i&#8217;m just like &#8220;nahh i&#8217;m done&#8221; I do have plans for more (one will be up tomorrow in fact) so yes i&#8217;ll do my best! lillicobear asked you:  You are my new favorite. Now I will always know where to go when I need some good butts. Thankyou! Pretty much going to have to turn this into a butt appreciation blog.  quagswagging asked you: Your Animal Crossing comics are pure gold. For a game full of nothing, it has everything. I must have spent a million hours trying to catch those bees. Thanks for the nostalgia, and keep up the work! And as for a question, are you currently playing any video games? Thats another thing i never caught, those damn bees! As for the games i&#8217;m playing at the moment, I have a whole bunch on the go currently but I haven&#8217;t really sunk much time into any of them for various reasons. I started up on Fez the other day which is fantastic and really clever. Still slowly making my way through Skyward Sword because zelda is always great, I wish zelda was in it more, she has so much personality! Oh and Kid Icarus Uprising which I absolutely love! I was worried about the controls but its such a fun game, really funny and strange and i recommend it!  Anonymous asked: Where do your ideas for you animal crossing comics come from?? From wasting way tooooo much time playing Wild World, the game is already filled to the brim with weirdness and hilarious little things, plus i love that game so its a lot of fun coming up with comics from that world. I&#8217;m also really looking forward to the new one.  Thanks for the questions guys.

coelomate asked you:  Soooooo, for the first time in my life, I am virtually smitten. Your art is wonderful! I don&#8217;t know why I love it, just that I do. Keep it up. And, I guess this is for questions, so here goes nothin&#8217;: What&#8217;s your favourite type of candy? This is a nice message, thanks for taking the time to write it. As for candy, thats kind of a big question. I have a major sweet tooth. First of all some of these things i mention may not be things outside of australia so just bare that in mind and don&#8217;t just think i&#8217;m making up exotic sweets. I&#8217;m a little bit addicted to starburst rattlesnakes in that i need them all the time to survive. I love gummi bears, nerds are pretty rockin, zappos, fizzers&#8230; I also love chocolate but it has to be a pretty specific kind, dark chocolate is OKAY but only a lil bit and I like white chocolate as well. I got a taste for both kettle corn and chocolate covered pretzels when I was in America but neither of those things exist here, so I have a fairly constant yearning. I did actually find a shop that sells chocolate covered pretzels here but its kind of expensive in comparison to the giant bags you could get for like 2 dollars in New York.  I kinda went on a bit there&#8230; ANYWAYS thanks for the message. Questions: ANSWERED (most certainly.)
