Who do the RRBs work for?

They work for a specialized counter-terrorism group that used to be federally managed, but is now independent and underground. They still get resources from the government through several connections they have with inside workers. Details will be given in the sequel.

When the RRB's were first introduced, they seemed to be just the same character in three different packages. When they came back, I was happy to find that they were given some individuality. I tried to expand on that in this comic. Brick gets the best lines; Butch gets the best fights; Boomer gets the best romances. But they all get a little bit of each. Except for Brick. No romance for him here.

What do you use to make comics?

The glory that is Photoshop CS3 Extended. Haven’t gotten my hands on CS4, but I hear that it’s good. I usually put the panels in their own groups and manage them that way.

How did you learn to draw?

I’ve been drawing since before I could write properly. I loved drawing sea creatures when I was young – whales and sharks in particular. I originally wanted to be a marine biologist. Eventually, God called me to become a visual storyteller, and pretty soon, the idea and designs began to keep on coming. I got most of my training by reading books on the subject from any local library I came across. I never had an official drawing teacher until I got to college, and I was usually teaching them! Scary, I know!

How much time does it take you to make a one page for Project Rowdyruff?

That depends on what’s going to be in the page. On average, including the hand drawings, the digital coloring, and the managing of the page itself, it usually takes about two days. Of course, it can take more. I haven’t been able to do much recently because I’m at home, I’m working, and I’m in school. Time’s limited…

Why don't the Rowdyruff Boys fly?

There IS a major back story as to how they lost the ability to fly. A tragic one at that. They are aware of this, and it will be made clear in the sequel. They still have their speed, strength, and other powers that will be revealed through time.

When are you going to focus on Brick and Boomer?

VERY soon, I’m going to go back to Boomer’s arc. In this chapter, I’m mainly focusing on Butch’s sprouting relationship with the Samalians. He and they are going to go through some pretty wild events together that I think you will be excited to read. Brick is still stuck on that bridge, but he will have a change of scenery in the next chapter.

Will the Professor show up?

I thought about that, but I’m going to have to say “no”. Even in the sequel (when the Powerpuff Girls show up), he’s not going to be featured. I just don’t see any good use for his character except for a figure head. That’s not enough for my plot. Sorry, fans.

Are the PPGs in it or is it just the RRBs?

As said before, they will appear in the sequel to this story. I’m working on their designs now. I’ll put up sketches soon!

How old would you say the guys are in the comic?

They are twelve here, soon turning thirteen.

Is that Bubbles/Buttercup??

It is COMPLETELY coincidental that Kik-yahn and the blind girl happen to look like Buttercup and Bubbles. Honestly, I had no intentions to make them that way. That’s just how they turned out. Again, the PPGs will appear in the sequel. They will NOT be featured in this story.

Could you draw me a pic of my characters?

If I have the time, I will do commissions. I REALLY want to do something for Griddles’ competition ASAP. Just give me time, people! Thanks!

How many chapters are there going to be?

Right now, I’m fixed on doing six chapters. The titles of them are:

1. Brave New World
2. Social Graces
3. Bridge Over Troubled Waters
4. Salt in the Wounds
5. War
6. Brothers in Arms
(Epilogue)

Where have you been, young man?

Oh, here and there. I try to keep in touch, though. (^_^)

Butch has an earring?

I can’t believe you people didn’t notice that! It’s right there!

What's Butch's and Boomer's weapons?

Boomer has a modern day kusari-gama, and Butch has a pair of gauntlets. They will be getting new weapons in the sequel.

Thanks for reading!!!

I noticed a couple of cool artists I'm watching have done this in the past, so I decided to give it a go!

If you have any burning questions to ask me, post them in a reply to this entry, and I'll do my best to answer them! They can be Project Rowdyruff related, general art/technique related, or whatever. I'll try to answer the PR ones if I can, but I don't want to reveal any huge spoilers, so I may not be able to.

Since some people are asking pretty similar questions, I'm going to compile them all into my next journal post. Now, ask away!

Little video for you guys...
