Here are some more in depth answers that didn't fit the timing with the video:
Q: What is your favorite part of Story Telling/Art/Animation? And hows your experience been with Telling your own story? -‪@fanatic_fans_stopmotions‬
A: This is such a good question and I wish I could have answered it more in the actual video. What I said is correct! My favorite part of storytelling is seeing people become engaged with the story and coming up with their own theories. I love when others can engage with something to the point the put a bit of themselves into it (like through fanart or fanfiction) but even in just having theories. One of the reasons !nterlope is a story about traveling to different worlds is because I wanted Tzeu to interact with everyone else's stories too! As for my favorite part of art: It's making something unique that can make others feel something. My favorite part of animation: bringing my characters to life.
Q: Where did you get your channel name and what inspired it? Same goes for your little gooey rabbit guy, do they have a name? -‪@crababble‬
A: Thunar is an acronym for The Unknown Artist. And they used to be named Trigger, but as for now, they're just my sona I guess. So they're just Thunar!
Q: How did you come to make a youtube channel? -‪@Blaulein‬
A: I originally made one for my Animation class, our professor wanted us to upload our assignments here as a handy place to keep it all (you can still see my old assignments from about two years ago as the first videos on the channel)
Q: How long have you been animating for? -‪@Crow_The_Goober‬ , ‪@InfiniteFur‬
A: I've been interested in animation since I was a kid, so I've been animating on and off ever since then. However, I only had an actual animation program up until about two years ago, before that I did stop motion, or (tried to) animate on drawing programs by drawing out every frame, then plugging it into a gifmaker.
Q: What inspired you to make your main OC? -‪@wafine1wwsws‬
A: I realized that after I answered this, you might've meant Tzeu! Tzeu's inspiration actually came organically from his parents, who I created first. The hare and TV-head character couple (Haven and BEN). He very naturally came from me imagining what a kid of theirs would look like, and behold! I had a Telehare OC.
Q: What/Who/How did you get into animation? -‪@SomeDumIdiot‬
A: I've always loved animation, and a lot of stuff inspired me when I was younger. Mainly Animated music videos or animated TV shows. I remember I would watch the Bonus Features on DVDs because sometimes they would have animatic, and those are what interested me the most. I wanted to see how they were able to turn those pencil drawings into actual, living beings that talked and moved on my TV. However, I thought it was unobtainable, as only big studios and "adults" could make animation. It wasn't until I found amateur flash videos online that I realized, the tools to make animation were out there, and I could do it too!
Q: Do you actually create characters or do they come to you? As in do you ever sit down to purposefully make new characters/story/lore or are you just suddenly inspired by something and start creating it right there in your head wherever you are? -‪@shilosinnith‬
A: Most of the time my characters come to me in their designs first, then I get to decide their story and personality after. Sometimes it's the other way around, like if I watch a movie or a show that really inspires me, and I want to make something that elicits the same feeling. Then I work backwards from the concept to the design. I like making stuff with you because sometimes it's a mix or a cycle. Sometimes we make a character first, give them a story, but that story requires another character so THAT character is made secondary to their concept and so on. What almost always happens though, is the design comes last, which I find actually kind of fun and interesting. It makes sure that whatever design of a character I make with you, it MUST be influenced by their story.
