Internet: Why didn't you use the Samus Suit from Metroid instead of the stoopider looking one from SSBM?
Me: Among the reverse engineering method existing for Nintendo games. It was more difficult (more or less impossible) to get a decent Metroid Prime Samus. I did on the other hand make several posts in a multitude of forums (something I hate doing) and got little or no response. I didn't want to be too bothersome to the great people behind the engineering methods. As a busy artist like everyone else, I respect their time. In the end you just end up working with what you've got.
Internet: Why does it seem like Master Chief is getting completely PWNED by not only Samus with the suit, but Samus without the suit. That's totally not fair.
Me: Well I think the battle between them both armored is pretty well balanced. As for Zero Samus knocking Master Chick (Master Chief) around without even needing her suit, it's not really explained anywhere, but MC technically wasn't fighting back because she was in
LOVE... mwahahahahahahahah
Internet: WTF?!?! Samus doesn't have rocket boots?!?! I hate you!!
Me: This was a tough choice for me, yes Samus has rocket boots because the way the storyboard played out in my mind needed more than the little I saw of Zero Samus' abilities in the upcoming Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
Internet: Master Chief should've won you suck!!!
Me: You obviously don't get the point of this movie
Internet: Samus should've won you suck!!!
Me: You obviously don't get the point of this movie
Internet: OMG you ROXORZ!!!! Can you make (insert character here) VS (insert character here)?
Me: I would love to get as much done as possible. These days I can't really tell what my schedule is like other than that I can be sure to be busy. On top of another videogame fight that I have planned. I would also like to continue my own original story too. It's hard to tell cause the movie I made before this one took me 8 months, whereas this one took me 2. I'll hope for the next ones to be just as quick if not quicker, but as of now I have about 17 different movies planned only in my mind.
Internet: What the hell was that shield shit that Samus did? That was stupid!! And why does the Master Chief/Chick whatever blow up?!!?
Me: Like I said before, the storyboarding comes before anything else. And that point in the song called for a climactic pause. On top of that, symbolic of their character, I feel Samus has a more feminine touch, which in turn implies protectiveness. Just as well, the Spartans more soldier-like and to the point. Since I've read all three Halo books, I had a lot to go by to know what they're capable of. Including the ability to self-destruct.
Internet: WHYYYYYY did you make Master chief a girl!?!?!? Master chief’s not a girl?!?!?! WHAT TEH HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU FAG?!?!?!
Me: In the Halo story according to the books there were actually 32 Spartan soldiers, including women. If you look closely you can actually see the number 458 on the "Master Chick's" suit. 458 being the number of the Spartan that made a Cameo in the Dead or Alive series. Not much thinking went into it further than that though. Plus hot lesbians are awesome.
Internet: I love you will you have my babies?!?!?!?
Me: Sorry but I'm taken -->

Internet: Your stuff is soo good! Why aren't you doing this for a living?
Me: Good question. People keep saying that but no one wants to hire me hahah. But seriously, it's more like, I wonder if I can even do this for money? One thing about artists, the difference between being a fine artist and a commercial artist is pretty huge. And still I don't know where I stand. I work in a unique way with a unique workflow. I have very specific beliefs that determine how I do everything I do. It's stuff that can't ever be questioned, yet at the same time I work a full time job among the many other things that fill up my day’s time. I dream about the day that I could be doing this stuff full time while being able to maintain the costs of living. I wonder how having money involved would change it. I'm completely self-taught with everything I do, and I have a pretty good notion that my methods and workflow does not match up with the conventional ways of doing things. If I were to get a job in this sort of industry, it seems like I would have to start off at a very high position. But I could never ask anyone to put their money on the line for sake of my personal quirks, it's just not who I am. Will I ever earn the right for artistic funding?
Internet: How can master chick/chief have that spark even though she was actually a girl?
Me: Think about it....
