On the internet I go by Merryweather, but my series is Winter Moon, Everywhere and Nowhere,
Stalker x Stalker, Internet Explorer,
Meme Girls, and
Clinic of Horrors. My two
featured series is Everywhere and Nowhere and Winter Moon.
You wanna hear an origin story? Is that it?
Um, I was at a Danish convention. It was called Genki. I believe it was 2012.
I went up to, uh, well I kind of figured everyone's got something here. I don't really have
anything, I'm not a cosplayer, I'm not an artist. I don't have a booth. I'm not selling
anything. So, I went up to the first artist's table I saw and I did the rookie
mistake of saying, "Do YoU wAnNa DrAw mY mAnGa?"
That's something you should never do.
And the lady there obviously said, "No, why would I want
to draw your Naruto fanfic? What're you talking about."
But then I said, "Alright, fair enough."
Took my defeat. Took one step to the left and asked the artist next to her.
That man was called Joakim Waller and uh, still friends with him to this day.
He was too polite to say no. Didn't realize I would be sending in scripts for the
next nine months until he said yes. Then he said yes, and with that, Steam Dragon Express,
the original one. Then it's kind of just been what I've been doing
from then on. It's really fun. Yeah, that's what I started with.
I sort of just do it, really.
I mean, it's fun. I've been doing it for, like, seven years.
Just something a
lot of people wonder about is how I can differentiate them. I don't get them
mixed up. I just sort of don't. I mean it's just fun. Just do it.
Well, really depends. A lot of them are my friends now and a lot of them are just
people I meet through social contacts. But back in the day, I used to write up a
deviantArt note and send it to 500 people until someone said yes
Well, Winter Moon I used to, uh, I used to play World of Warcraft a lot. I was a
huge addict many years ago. So, a lot of
my writing on Winter Moon comes from just things I experienced while playing
World of Warcraft, or
random other MMORPGs.
Everywhere and Nowhere, sort of
inspired by Doctor Who, which I watched a lot.
Mostly I just watch a lot of TV have
this thing where I watch episode 1 of every anime that comes out no matter
what it is. Just to like get the concept in. Pick it apart use it for my own stuff.
The original one was probably deviantART.
But, yeah, I kind of went over
to WEBTOON after they'd started allowing everyone to publish. So,
insane amount of readership increased suddenly for all of my series. So, it just,
kinda, I kinda chose that one
Probably Winter Moon. It's my first, like, really big one. The artist, Mayui, is
really good, really fun to work with. Yeah probably Winter Moon. I feel
like that's the, that's the one where I'm like, I feel like it's most complete
In terms of style and aesthetic and everything
Every artist is different. Some prefer more, some prefer like, a mood board of
references and all sorts of things. Sometimes I have to draw storyboards for them.
Others, really prefers as much freedom as they possibly can get.
Usually the artists that I work with that I have worked with for a while, they just
sort of get it. Get where they're going with it.
Well usually I write all the
scripts in like a huge bunch like I have a few writing days where I just focus on
just writing get a whole bunch of episodes ready and then send them over.
Then the artist delivers a sketch and kind of give my input on the sketch.
Usually it's pretty fine one of them doesn't even give a sketch so it's kind
of do it. Then if everything's fine, we just kinda go towards completing the
page and then uploading. It's really simple, really.
Yeah maybe Winter Moon. I really like Winter Moon. That's like my main thing.
Yeah, or animated. Either one, really. The Hollywood movie
with Winter Moon would be pretty cool.
