Q&A Opportunity + Updates
Added 2019-07-10 03:47:49 +0000 UTCHello all! I hope you had a fantastic holiday weekend if you're here in the US, or just a fantastic regular weekend otherwise!
I had a great time hosting a few friends and going places with them (which is why I have been offline for a few days). However, I did end up getting sick again. Good ol' sinus infection knocking me on my ass again *shakes fist at the sky but then gets too tired* This is what I get for forgetting to care for myself among the fun.
I'm making slow progress on the comic pages, so I really appreciate the patience! This page of Falling Flat is taking me longer than usual because my work bursts are shorter lived for now, but I expect/hope to be done with it before the weekend.
To help fill up the time a little, I wanted to extend an opportunity to you guys in case you had any questions about the characters, process, story, myself, etc. I'm hard to reach via messages, so I thought this might be kinda fun for those of us on Patreon to have a little more insight ^^ I won't be spoiling anything, but I'm happy to answer as much as I can! If you have a question, no matter how silly or serious, please leave a comment below and I'll get back to you!

Yes! I would love to go to all the major American cons at some point ^^

2019-07-14 21:10:22 +0000 UTCDo you have any plans to hit up the Midwest FurFest in the future?

2019-07-13 20:06:23 +0000 UTCI think jack might look like a twink. 💘
Sugar Sammy
2019-07-11 23:22:26 +0000 UTCme and my fellow intern fans wanted to know what you look like. lots of artist do that art vs artist thing. I thought maybe you didnt want to be seen, but you had a con booth in person. I think you look like younger cooper.

2019-07-11 18:27:45 +0000 UTCremove to app and just use website. the browser will remember login info, but then nothing internal gets erased. I had the app, it was a pain. website works perfectly.

2019-07-11 18:25:20 +0000 UTCJackaloo, question for you. We know Andy likes manly scent. Does he like paws too? XD

2019-07-11 15:00:36 +0000 UTCWhyme, back up your data and factory reset your phone. Sounds like OS corruption.

2019-07-11 14:55:39 +0000 UTCI'm trying to stay a patreon but each and everytime, I close the app it erases all of my data for it including my patreons. I have to search everyone up again and again because I want to stay, I even deleted and reinstalled it, I don't know if it's taking my money or not since I can't get into my account at the moment so here I might stop for a while just in case but your work is fantabulous, and nothing should ever change
2019-07-11 06:12:49 +0000 UTCDude I'm sorry for all the spam, I'm trying to figure this out, I really am
2019-07-11 06:09:51 +0000 UTCLove your work fine, keep it up
2019-07-11 06:06:08 +0000 UTCwhat was the inspiration for this comic and what character do you think has the deepest story to you
2019-07-11 03:27:33 +0000 UTCIt was very fun! I made some decent money (by no means rich), and I would love to do more. I will tend to do ones I can drive to because plane tickets can be pretty expensive. My goal is to try every major American furry con at least once!
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 03:16:46 +0000 UTCIt's only four volumes long. Depending on what I am doing for the next story/series, I may throw in some short spin-offs. We'll cross that bridge when we burn it xD
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 03:15:43 +0000 UTCI can't make a guess, because I will either lie to you and mislead readers, or tell the truth and spoil things. Sorry! x3
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 03:15:10 +0000 UTCI own all their negative traits to an extent. How sad is that? xD Some I have under control, and others I still struggle with.
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 03:13:59 +0000 UTCThe comics are on a BIG motherf*cker of a file on Adobe Photoshop. My lineart brush is just an average 5px hard round brush. The main comic is pretty flat, so I only get to playing with textured/custom brushes when doing other stuff, like prints and paintings.
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 03:12:22 +0000 UTCChelsea xD She's cute and I have the least amount of beef with her
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 03:10:57 +0000 UTCHe has an undiagnosed anxiety disorder and aggravates it (unknowingly) through smoking. Mental health is extremely unfamiliar to him.
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 03:10:28 +0000 UTCThank you so much! That's so sweet and I'm glad you feel connected to it. It's such a high compliment <3
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 03:09:19 +0000 UTCFirst things first, are your needs being met? Have you drank enough water? Showered recently? Rested? The brain gets cloudy and fussy when certain things aren't fulfilled, but sometimes it isn't obvious. If that's all good and dandy, sometimes it's good to kickstart your brain simply by process of elimination. For example: Plot hit a dead end? Not sure where to go from somewhere? Lay out every route you could take with the story. The more options, the better. As you run around viewing them all, eventually you'll find reasons to either dump or pursue a choice. The right one eventually reveals itself if you take a mental walk around the block a couple times.
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 03:01:22 +0000 UTCOf course he does! Very much so. However, love comes in many forms, so we will just have to wait and see what type of love it really is.
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 02:55:45 +0000 UTCChelsea because she's an amalgamation of all my closest girl friends I've had in my life <3
Jackaloo
2019-07-11 02:54:48 +0000 UTCYou previously said you had fun at the Con, but i'm curious (in rough about terms) was it a finacial success? Are there plans to make it a more common place?
sheppard wolfeyes
2019-07-10 23:38:11 +0000 UTCHow long do you plan on continuing The Internship series?
Leone
2019-07-10 11:50:32 +0000 UTCAlready been answered friend :)
Leone
2019-07-10 11:49:08 +0000 UTCI'm glad you had fun. I have a question about Andy. In a scale from 1 to 10 what are the possibities that Cooper and Andy become boyfriend? Have a nice week. Take care^^
Nelson Cabrera
2019-07-10 11:30:29 +0000 UTCI just hope that riv is a bigger part of the comics story don't get me wrong I love coop and Andy but somthing bout river just makes me excited for more of them. The anticipation for more of riv is killing me X3 I know it's not only rivers story but riv is my fave character even though we don't know much bout them but I'm hoping for more story and character for riv and definitely hoping for some sexy moments with them
2019-07-10 11:14:31 +0000 UTCWhich character do you relate the most to?
Zeke Red
2019-07-10 09:35:16 +0000 UTCDo you share anything with any character? Like Andy’s kink for smell, which I’m 100% behind
ThorAlexander
2019-07-10 07:21:41 +0000 UTCI'm excited too! I wanna see more stuff for River!
Angelic Bard - Pflegehund
2019-07-10 07:07:20 +0000 UTCOkay. So MAYBE I'm off on one my random theories, because lord knows I have lots of those. River. What are their pronouns? I don't believe in our introduction to the character they've been able to introduce or talk about about themselves, which is probably intentional, but consider me very curious.~
Angelic Bard - Pflegehund
2019-07-10 07:02:40 +0000 UTChey umm ... just wondering what software do you use for these comics and you have any customised brushes? i’m into illustration and digital arts so it’d be nice to know what you use (sadly mine is about the technical stuff)
2019-07-10 06:23:54 +0000 UTCIf you had to pick a mate from your characters, who would you pick and why?
Tenyo
2019-07-10 05:38:44 +0000 UTCWhat mental disorders does coop have? Just wondering if it is more than being depressed and avoidant/in denial?
Devin Wilson
2019-07-10 04:40:59 +0000 UTCI must say that your comic really hits me in the heart, the way it’s written really reminds me of my own life. The frustration, joy, sadness, needs, the feelings are so well illustrated! Take your time to perfect your work, no need to rush, we are not going anywhere.
Furnikan
2019-07-10 04:40:29 +0000 UTCAlso sorry if this is overboard!
Milo Smith
2019-07-10 04:29:36 +0000 UTCAndy: 5.3 inches Coop: 5 inches Emery: 8.2 inches Chelsea: 12 meters Riv: ??? (please note that this was on the spot and without referencing my own work, just a best guess in the moment xD)
Jackaloo
2019-07-10 04:15:00 +0000 UTCNo spoilers but Will we get more story for river like carecter devlopment i guess what I mean by that is river gonna be main stay character till the end of the series. I love what you have done with characters and I just wanna know if my fave is gonna get a story arc of some sort. I mean I know there is still alot of story to go still but I'm excited for more of riv
2019-07-10 04:13:41 +0000 UTCI hadn't previously considered it, but that could be neat!
Jackaloo
2019-07-10 04:10:33 +0000 UTCMiss ya dude

2019-07-10 04:09:26 +0000 UTCHey buddy hope you having fun lol
NITRO89
2019-07-10 04:09:01 +0000 UTCWhich has been your favorite character to develop?
Patrick Nelson
2019-07-10 04:07:48 +0000 UTCThe canine version, perhaps! The deer version shall just have to wait till the next series ;D
Jackaloo
2019-07-10 04:07:02 +0000 UTCAww thank you so much! The majority of the characters are sort of like... phases that I've been through in my life. My circumstances aren't exact to theirs, but the emotion is real. All their hopes, fears... they all belong to me, in a way. I figured that writing what I know... it would be the best way to be able to "perform" them in the story.
Jackaloo
2019-07-10 04:06:29 +0000 UTCAre you ever going to do a secret cameo of anyone from your previous comic "After The Party"?
Hyp Wolf
2019-07-10 04:04:14 +0000 UTCThank youuuu!
Jackaloo
2019-07-10 04:02:29 +0000 UTCWe know you have a fursona but will we see him in the internship universe like a surprise guest or something?
OttoTheDoggo
2019-07-10 03:59:53 +0000 UTCYes!
Jackaloo
2019-07-10 03:58:35 +0000 UTCConceptually, before it's even made. I'll think of something (even if it's just a look or a moment) and think "yes. That's hot" and then put it in the comic. However, that doesn't mean that everything in the comic is a turn-on for me. While I do indulge a bit of my own personal tastes, I try to be conscious of other's enjoyment too and try my best to represent it!
Jackaloo
2019-07-10 03:58:23 +0000 UTCDo you think you’ll be able to stick to consistent upload days once work craziness dies down? How many hours would you say it takes for each page from conception to upload? Also what scenes, objects or physical traits so you struggle with? I’d also love to hear what each guy’s “members” are in physical measurements xD and finally, how long have you been drawing? How did you learn anatomy and gain your own style? As well as any advice for an artist who struggles with practice because they become disenchanted with their “lack of progress”
Milo Smith
2019-07-10 03:55:16 +0000 UTCI’m currently working on poetry book (I’ve been working on it for a year and a half now) and I’m almost down writing it but of course I’m suffering from every writers worst nightmare Writer’s Block (imagine that in bold letters with lighting in the back). Do you have any advice dealing with writers block ? As well just writers advice as a whole such as how to find cover artist and etc. Thanks Jack and get well sooon!, Gabe
AkiDave
2019-07-10 03:54:20 +0000 UTCDose Andy really love Emery?
Max Freeman
2019-07-10 03:52:33 +0000 UTCIs there any real life inspiration behind either Andys or Coopers personalities or the scenarios they're in?
Pravvus
2019-07-10 03:51:55 +0000 UTCWho's your favorite character from any of the comics and why?
Blaze Wolf
2019-07-10 03:50:03 +0000 UTCWill we ever see Andy's family?
2019-07-10 03:49:53 +0000 UTCDo you ever get off on your art.... What, you said "no matter how silly"
Sugar Sammy
2019-07-10 03:49:52 +0000 UTCAre the characters inspired by anyone? Andy? Cooper? You do such a fantastic job of giving them all life and heart. Personally rooting for Andy and Cooper full time. :) Yay!
Gil
2019-07-10 03:49:45 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need and get well soon
