Has considerado dar clases de dibujo?

Lo he pensado... pero no estoy seguro como funcionaría ni quién querría aprender a dibujar furros xd

The anatomy of the XENO is drawn very well, what is your process for drawing anthropomorphic anatomy?

That's something difficult to explain with words. But I developed a basis skeleton shape for drawing my anthro characters (based off the classic human skeleton)
I also modify their proportions s little depending what I am drawing... My characters are stylized in general.

What sort of shading method do use for the comics?

4 layer method: dark shades + soft shades + light details + ambience gradients
It's a bit time consuming, and it's the Derideal comic style.

Following my last question, the main character has no knowledge of what they are as they are similar in appearance to the "people" of my world. I would like your opinion on how this character could be written?

if the character is similar to his/her creators, he could just start wondering about why he feels different or have doubts in general (maybe he's treated differently)
I would probably try to refer to Blade Runner 2049 in which the main character is a replicant.

What motivated you to create Aden as the protagonist of Derideal? What do you wish to explore with him, considering the theme of the story?

Aden is trapped by life and the events surrounding him.
I wanted to tell a story that convey how little control we have in society...
it's just something that bothers me since I was a kid. You're born, you're supposed to be free, yet you are supposed to follow society/family expectation... there are just a few ways to go from there.

Why don't you draw some predators like wolves or leopards though i know that Xenos were first made by humans,or maybe you just prefer domestic species?

I just prefer domestic species.
I also think domestic species would be less dangerous or safe to control.

As someone with a similar-ish concept for a species, how do you go about incorporating them into the story as the main character?

it depends on what you want to tell honestly.
I wanted to tell the story of an artificially created critter, in a dark society controlled by cruel humans.
you just have to tell the story from the point of view of your character.

there are just a few ways to go from there.

it's hard to make people pay attention for a protagonist that could probably just be a pet character in a different comic/story I think, but I think it's fun type of character to put on the spotlight

What inspired you to create the XENO story?

I love Dune and I'm obsessed over Battlestar Galactica (remake series).
I started reading Asimov's foundation.
and I love Mass Effect.
I tried to make my own thing, but it's hard, without the help of a friend I wouldn't had the energy to make the XEN comic story or dare to start it.
I spent years just drawing concept art.

As an experienced comic artist, how do you go about planning the story and the world?

I usually start by drawing the character concepts as I think about the story.

then I talk about my ideas with people I trust (and who want to pay attention, this is the hardest part haha)

then I make a mental map of the story, like a graph with concepts, arrows and things that will lead to each event.

then I start drawing the script on paper, like a storyboard.

it's easier for me to just draw the comic script, instead of writing. always using pencil and eraser, because I tend to erase a lot, and redraw panels, layouts etc.

when I'm stuck I try to write again to play around the ideas.

4 - los humanos solo desaparecieron así no más sin dejar rastro?
5 - que revivió a los cadáveres xeno en nova (los zombies)
6 - el planeta tierra aun es potencialmente habitable?
(Ya son todas espero no molestar con tantas preguntas)

Humans vanished but they left cities and their technology.

Cadacter ship has a defense nanobot cloud capable of control corpses.
- Earth is fine in general, Xenos live there.

Tengo varias preguntas
Espero no ser pesado xd
1 - cuál es la natalidad o tiempo de vida de los xenos?
2 - en los acontecimientos de nova, en que planeta están instalados los xenos?
3 - solo han explorado el sistema solar o más allá?

In the Nova comic world Xenos can't travel beyond the Earth nearby areas. The ships that exist doesn't have ways to travel too far. So they have just been exploring with some difficulty the solar system.
They are living in Earth.
Xenos live about the same age as humans in the Nova universe.

What other setting have you considered to draw your characters?
Example like a fantasy world or on the medieval times.

I have consider trying to make a weird fantasy setting, not medieval necessarily, just fantastic in like parallel worlds.

Do u enjoy drawing fantasy?

I can draw it from time to time, but fantasy stuff isn't my favorite genre to draw... I would rather draw science fiction, the feeling of future and technology is important for me.

How do xenos see normal animals?

They get a strange feeling when they see their own species... But in general they realize they aren't exactly like them, they are very different but they would probably feel sympathy in general (and Xenos would eat other animals to survive too)
