Jones:
You’re right, I’m working on a Sci-fi comedy and find it alot more fun to draw because I can come up with out of the blue Scenarios and not have to fully explain it haha
Are any of the characters inspired by anyone? Or are they originals?
They seem to reflect ordinary friends rather than Celebrities.

David:
They’re all based off of people in my life. Izuul is my buddy Juan, Renshishi is Tyler, Kensushi is Sean (who unfortunately passed away in 2009), and Myra is based off of my wife Hilary. Myra was an original character that I added to round out the group, but also because I came up with a cool idea for a Necrobard. Everyone else is  who they played in the OG 2004 videos.

Wellsby is my self insert. If I didn’t mention that already.
I did have to do a lot of character redesigns. But that’s because we were originally running around in vests and catchers guards, wearing decorative dragon towels as capes.

Jones:
I figured he was haha I remember our conversations and he has your personality.

David:
God I hope not. He’s a dick lol.

Jones:
Aslo if I remember correctly is Wellsby sword a dagger or short sword I forgot
Nah Wellsby funny as hell 

David:
Wellsbys sword is a massive fuck-off great sword, inspired by giant anime swords and Monster hunter. The design came from me trying to make it, i don’t know, as dumb and as big as possible. It’s really bit me in the ass over time because I find it harder to find in panels than I anticipated.

Jones:
I remember saying it reminded me of Guts sword and speaking of which earlier we talked about comic cons are you going to be attending any this year? And if you can for those reading what’s the most Important part about having an artist alley table?

David:
Yes! We’ll be at SC comicon in April, and hopefully HeroesCon this year.

Legit, the most important part of having a table is putting your stuff out there. Making money is cool, meeting people is dope, but putting your creation out into the world is where it’s at. There’s no better feeling than someone picking up your book, and coming back next year fiending for the next issue. Or hitting you up online with questions, or telling you their favorite part.

The reason cons exist, and something I feel like they’ve lost over time, is to show people what’s new and out there, and not plastered across TV and the web. I’ve always gone to cons with the express intent of picking up every original piece of content I can. LOVE BABY, for instance, I made sure to make sales just so I could pick it up. The stack of indie books I have is astounding.
Long story short, there’s folks like me out there that are looking for that story you’ve been hiding from the world.

Jones:
I couldn’t agree more and as I continue coning I start to understand why it was so difficult to push indie work back then to the point one had to go to big companies it’s an accessibility issue. People are drawn to things that they can easy access in an abundance. I actually think now because there’s so much out there that people are actually turning to indie work for something fresh to latch on to.
But I do see the lack of enthusiasm younger people have for finding or investing into new things at comic cons and only go for what they know but that’s the challenge I’m willing to fight make something SO BIG, SO GOOD they can’t ignore it you know?

David:
Maybe it’s pessimistic to say, but I’ve kind’ve given up on the idea that EOP or anything I create will blow up. It’s not that I don’t believe in my work, I do, it’s that accessibility part. The comics industry is more of a “who you know” place than I’ve ever witnessed before.

Don’t get me wrong. There’s some folks out there with more talent than i can fathom. But even some of the greats are only where they are because they kissed the right ass.

I digress, if EOP never blows up, we’ll be fine. It may be cocky of me to say, but, their loss. When the day comes that I’ve decided the series is over, I can look back on everything I’ve created and have pride in it and the small fan base that I’ve created.

Jones:
Real stuff success is what comes from what makes you proud and that doesn’t always translate into fame and Notoriety.
Well I’m’ll end the interview here with this question what is your idea of success?

David:
It’s probably a generic answer, but when you’re happy.

What I mean is, what I said earlier. You may not be rich, you may not be famous, you may have a small house and a small family. But when you can look on what you’ve done to achieve what you have, and smile, that’s success.

Jones:
Well said man, and yo it’s good talking to you David, conversations with you are always interesting.
