| The costumes and props of your character designs (Dawngate) are quite intricate… | Joel |
| Do you spend a lot of time researching fashion? | Joel |
| Is it as time consumng as it looks, or have you developed some digital tricks to speed up your process? | Joel |
| Dawngate characters are all really unique. What’s your approach to designing for the IP? (Characters and/or skins) | Joel |
| You’ve got a ton of other great work on your deviantART page. Tell us about Jellybots! | Joel |
| How much control do you get on writing Dawngate? Input? | Brian |
| 38 Studios must have been both exciting & scary experience. We don’t want to get into specifics or speculate. But what did you take away from that experience? | Brian |
| What are your feelings on the great cheese board fiasco that is plaguing our great nation today? Or is that too domestic? American cheese! | Brian |
| How did you feel about the Maleficent the movie? Did you get any sneak peaks to align your vision of the book? | Brian |
| Are you watching Attack on Titan on Crunchyroll? | Brian |
| https://www.crunchyroll.com/attack-on-titan | |
| Did you watch all the E3 stuff. Could we have possibly seen some of your work during those presentations? | Brian |
| Do you retain most of your drawing powers in your facial hair? | Brian |
| Noticed your Paragon Faris stuff went up in the latest skin update on Dawngate. Are you pretty happy with the 3d interpretation? Any Horror stories | Brian |
| Played Dawngate for about 30 minutes today. I am not very good at MOBAs. I was asked if I was a bot. You only get that question if you are really good…or really bad…guess which one I was. | Brian |
| I noticed you have a colorist, which one of you does the backgrounds? | Matt |
