is bea the sort of person to take galo wherever she goes. like galo hanging out in a harness on her shoulder at the grocery store
Reptiles shouldn't be allowed around grocery stores or any food due to the salmonella risk, but she definitely takes him out to the park on a harness. I even sketched it out once, I'll toss it in a reply to this on Twitter!

How often do you thing HLG gets asked how they’re able to race and/or if it’s safe for him to do so? You think he’s got a pamphlet with an FAQ at this point?
Oh all the fucking time I'm sure. He probably has a QR code or similar that's on all his social media, his website, probably even on his bike and racing outfit. But the reason he does drag racing is it's a set distance and a straight line. I imagine people accuse him of cheating as much as they worry he's a safety hazard; accusations of his bike doing the driving for him, his echolocation giving him an edge, his bigger bike meaning he goes further faster, etc.
But all of that is why he's such a successful star, tbh. He generates conversations, and controversy, and all of the attention does wonders for his career lmao.

Peony's design is so beautiful! What sort of inspiration went into her design, especially her color scheme and face shape :D
Thank you very much! Peony was originally made for a "blind date" challenge that got popular on Tumblr back in 2016. Two people would create characters completely from scratch, and then pair them up together no matter what. Unfortunately, the person I made Peony for ended up being of the pro-censorship sort so Peony ended up being single relatively soon after that.
I actually managed to find my original concept sketches from back in 2016, and from the looks of it her face shape was something I was set on from the get-go. I don't know if something back then inspired it, but I know most people were giving their monsters and aliens human faces with big kissy face lips and I probably went the opposite direction intentionally haha.
Her initial color concept was very different from her current design. It was green, yellow, and red, and she initially had some sort of symbiote/nano-prosthetics that replaced legs that she'd lost (according to my notes anyways, I don't actually remember). Kind of funny because Venom didn't come out until a couple years after that, so it wasn't a direct inspiration, but I did end up repurposing the idea for another character who I still need to finish and post.
I think Peony's colors/markings were me trying to force myself to do something simpler? I'm kind of known for my complicated designs but I can also do "less is more". I don't know if that was why I did it but the end result is the same I guess. I do really love "black/dark, white/light, third color" designs though, the contrast pleases my lizard brain lmao.
I wish I could remember more about her design process, but alas, it was 8 years ago and my memory is just not that good x)

Samson has to visit an alien race from a sci if movie/tv series. Which one do they visit and what happens?
The only other aliens Samson "knew" were the space pirates who crash landed on Earth, and the humans who took him in. He's never known his own kind, and he's never left the lab he calls home. So in this hypothetical I'd want him to visit somewhere he wouldn't be hurt, because he's one of the few characters I have where I don't ever want anything bad to happen to him. I admittedly don't watch a whole lot of aliens outside of horror movies or comic books though, so uh... maybe he can visit the few remaining Kryptonians on Earth? I feel like they'd get along splendidly hahaha
Most of my alien knowledge is video games, alas, so sorry I couldn't really pick something more interesting.

whats rebecca's favorite colors
You would think it'd be green and yellow since those are the colors she wears as Velocity, but no, she loves blue and red, but didn't want to look like she was trying to be the next Captain America, so she went with colors associated with the Pan-African/Ethiopian colors, with green and yellow specifically representing fertility of land and hope.

what are your favorite shapes or features to draw? any subject
Favorite shapes are definitely sharp angles, which has been difficult to consolidate with my love for fat and curvy designs. I'm slowly figuring it out, I think, but it's been a constant battle with myself haha
Favorite features is so hard to pick from... mouths, maybe? Or eyes. I do my best to vary every feature in all my characters, so I enjoy all of them a lot, it's like having an infinite number of combinations that I get to figure out the key to unlocking the perfect match for a specific character or design. It's kind of like puzzle solving which is something that gives me a lot of serotonin lmao
