BurntToShreds Interviews YanimaeSo first off, are you a guy or a girl?I'm a woman.
We all know that you're an artist. How did you learn to draw, and what inspired you to draw in the first place?WELL I feel the beginning of my artistic inclinations have a slightly dubious history. My earliest memories are of watching "
PappyLand". That show was based around a dude who drew his world and he would teach us something new to draw with him every episode. That was always my favorite part of the show. But I think I really got into it when I discovered "
Peanuts" when the inspiration became more specific. That was when I decided "I want to be an artist when I grow up."
What's the story behind your username? It's pretty weird.Ahaha I know right? It's slightly a lie too because I don't have a top hat. Dark gave me a tall hat though so it still counts! <3
I already had the name Yanimae based on my dad mixing my nickname Yaya with Anime. He misspelled Anime as Animae so I kept that for laughs. But it felt dull so I suddenly started thinking of hats and just plopped in the "Tall-Hatted" part on a whim. I'm glad I did though!
What videogames do you enjoy (Besides Beyond Good and Evil)?I'm not a big gamer. BG&E was the first real video game I've played in what feels like years. I love Yoshi's Island and point and click games! I've watched a lot of video game walkthroughs so out of the one's I've watched, Grim Fandango was like watching a movie. It was great and I look forward to playing that game one day.
Is there any reason that we should not suspect you of being an international spy?I'm the most passive and harmless person you'd know. Of course I'd make a perfect spy.
You'll never expect me until it's too lateIf you could have one wish granted, what would it be?
