Show Notes: |
| Hey Derek! It’s great to have you on the show. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your work? |
| Work |
| How did you get started making chibi art? |
| and what exactly is a Chibi? |
| We don’t often have game developeres on the show. What are some of the challenges of working in indie game development from an artist’s perspective? |

| If you could do art for ANY genre of video game, what genre would you choose, and why? |
| What advice would you give to artists looking to work in video games where most studios advertise looking for 2-3 years experience? |
| Should I be playing Nobu: Fat Revenge? |
| I noticed you posted a pic of an art study on Twitter recently. How much studying do you do? Cool down sketches? I mean I do warm ups! But drawing after you are done! Madness! |
| Do you ever worry about doing “” too much “” fan art? |
| Have you ever run into any licensing issues? (EX: Nintendo T-shirts) |
| Technique and Tools |
| Manga Studio on a Wacom 24″ sounds like a lot of fun. How many nibs have you replaced? I’ve replaced none. |

| Putting out my first Artbook. Challenges of Self publishing it. |
| You are taking pre-orders for your first Artbook. Can you tell us about the book and your experiences so far? What did you include; exclude? |
| I’m having my first convention booth in June at Niagra Falls Comic Con. |
| You are 100% self publishing your art book compared to the popular Kickstarter road most artists take. What lead you to that choice? |

| Captain America: Civil War has been out for over a week now. Has everyone seen it? Best superhero movie to date? |
