^^ question!

[touya]

alright, this is for you tom.

I noticed on your avatar you have two black things sticking out of your head... are they ears?? ( kawaii! ;D ) or are they some weird hair..thing..? And if they are ears...what kind??

*pulls at them*

Oh, another question: How'd you come up with the idea for TwoKinds? Its a really unique world, hell of an imagination you have.

Yeah i noticed those ear type thingys last week but forgot about them.

The way you worded your post reminded me of this image.


Will Tom reveal the secret? Tune in next time!

Ooo, thank you for asking a question! I was afraid no one would. Lets see, for the first one.. yes, those are little black kitty ears on my head. And they're just your average housecat kind ;D

And Twokinds? Well, that's a hard question... lesse, I started with the idea for Twokinds in 2001, when I registered for my keenspace account. The idea was in it's infant stage, and all I really knew was that I wanted to have a story of two people with a lot of racism between them, and then two characters somehow overcoming said obsticles.

I had to wait for many years, due to the fact that my art tallent at the time was not good enough to do anything with (I was still developing, and going through a lot of different styles at the time) But in the mean time, I wrote. I had several drafts written out, many of them not making any sence, some taking place in the present, most only lasting one page at best. Finally, I felt my art and attention span was ready, and i began planning what I would be doing.

[wow, this is a lot of typing]

I needed characters, but I never really though about it. So I took many characters from my other failed comics and sort of mashed them together. And example would be Keith; he previously stared in his own badly drawn adventure, before I yanked him out and put him here.

The plot sort of fell into place, I had a male character discover and save the life of a female Keidran (Which was also a name that I just came up with off the bat) and then the story would go on from there. I didn't really have a script, and I still don't. I just go with the flow, where ever the story takes me. Lately I've felt like something else it writting the story, and I've just been providing the pictures. I did, however, have "key events", or stuff that I knew would happen at certain times. Examples would be the starting of the story, Trace being attacked by Sythe, Flora breaking her leg, etc. I have many of these, including the ending of the story.

I hope that's answered your question... somewhere in there. My hands kinda hurt now ;D But it was fun. Please don't hessitate to ask anything else.

Awwwww! You got kitty ears! ;D
thanks for answering my questions Tom. Interesting how it started like 4 years ago practically. And keith stared in his own comic?? i'd pay to see that, lol. Oh! I do have one more question: What color are you eyes? ( no, im not a stalker, really, ^^ i have an idea for a picture... )

btw: who ever that is on the cover of the next chapter...is really cute! ;D Cant wait to see what roll he'll take in the story.

Man, I feel so bad for Keith. He really does seem like one of those poor guys that would just be thrown around. I guess that's why he is so apathic toward everything...

Perhaps a Keith side story somewhere down the line...

"The Awsomely cool adventures of the Great and Wonderful Bastian Keith!!!"

Although you may want to shorten the title a little.
