How scary will Stay a Spell? Goosebumps-level scary or Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness-level scary?
That's hard to say. My creative inspiration is to combine the darker atmosphere, tone and style reminiscent of older 2D animated films especially Don Bluth films like The Secrete Of NIMH, All Dogs Go TO Heaven with some of the cozy cottage elements of Ghibli films like Kiki's delivery service and Howls Moving Castle, and maybe a touch of Disney like Beauty & the Beast if I can work in some songs for the game. Don Bluth films are known for scaring kids with some very suspenseful scenes lol so I'd like for Stay A Spell to hit that level of scary.
Do you prefer to watch movies or read books?
Definitely movies, I love movies. I like reading but its so difficult to find a good book I can get sucked into I just cant get immersed in a book the way I can with movies. I've been trying to read more and even tried to get into audio books because there is such a huge well of stories out there but I sill struggle with it and audio books sound like a good idea to just have a story read to you while you do other stuff but I find that I cant multi task with audio books, I need to use my imagination to visualize the story and pay attention to the details and I cant do that when I'm drawing or writing which takes a lot of brain power and just becomes white noise in the background so what's the point. and also my enjoyment of the story very heavily depends on the quality of the voice narrating it so it hasn't gone well sofar lol
Are you religious?
I think I answered or mentioned this a long time ago but, I have some very religious family but personally I've never been Religious or spiritual. I don't really get religion or spirituality, no religion has ever spoken or clicked with me and if I'm being honest I've had some pretty bad experiences with religion, I've been called Satan, culty people have tried to get me to go to their "religious compound" because of a birthmark on my left side and I've been in a couple fights from people who tried to attack me for not having a religion so I'm very cautions about it. I try to be respectful about it cause not every religious person is insane but they do make me nervous sometimes and it's not for me.
Some people mistakenly think I'm pagan but I just think mythology and folklore is cool.
Who is your favourite artist?
In our specific art community some of my favorite artists are Chalodillo and Volkenfox, to name just a few but there are so many amazing artists I like. I don't know if I have a specific industry professional favorite artist, I really love animated films but their made by soo many artists its hard to single out an individual person.
Will we see more Stay a Spell fan art soon, including some pics of a plumper Hazel?
Yes indeed, if you haven't seen it yet I recently did a sketch of Ms Vixen to kick off the Autumn and Halloween season https://x.com/Goblin0verlord/status/1841273952490201360 I plan to draw and post more art of them as well as some of my ideas I've been brewing up for the project dueing this season. Gotta get some more commissions taken care of and rent paid off first tho.
