Description Probably should've done this a few weeks ago, but lessee. I've never done Q&A before but it could be fun. Don't listen to Nero, we're doing this!

You can direct your Golden Shrike related questions to either the characters (anyone) or me, and later I'll upload a bunch of doodles with answers. We try to answer as many as we can but I have no idea how curious you people are. Note that I obviously won't do spoilers. Drop 'em below!

If you're new to Golden Shrike, it's a comic you can read here . Thanks!

Edit: THERE'S SO MANY QUESTIONS... Hold your horses, I think I'm having my hands full with these already. I'll try to pick the ones that give the most non-spoilery insight, and those that have been asked more than once. I think I'll do a smaller reply sheet for the technical questions.

Do all the deer have bird companions(if so, species most common?), and why are golden shrikes important?

Oh! I forgot Virva!

Hiya Virva, what is your favourite thing to do with your mom and dad?Β  favourite games or pastimes with one or both?

For Biro: what was it like for you as a fawn. Any fond memories of you and your mom?

For Lumi:Β  it must have been a nice surprise to see that you had twins. It must have been exhausting, too, right?Β  if so, what was the most common form of trouble? Also, how did the birthing go? Not too difficult, I hope!

For Runi: for me, the night always makes everything seem like a different world. Why do you like the night sky so much, and do you wander off because of that?

Alright, I tried reading through the comments to check for repeats, but it's kinda difficult, so I'll just go ahead and ask my questions:

- Do all of the deer have a bird companion? Are they all shrikes? Do Runi and Nero's shrikes have names?
- Why did Biro choose to stay with the herd, instead of following Runi and Nero?

To both Runi and Nero: Did you both get along as fawns? My sisters and I used to fight a lot when we were little but grew closer with age. Was it the same for you, or have you always been close?

To both: How far would you say your bond as siblings would be? Would each do anything to help the other?

Kyuuyula [2019-08-23 17:19:36 +0000 UTC]

Uh, I got a few questions for you three precious ones~. <3



1. What's your favourite food? And do you sometimes encounter struggles getting it? (Directed at all three of you.)


2. Do you have a previous or current crush on one of the others in the herd or someone from another herd you have met sometime ago? (Directed at our precious deers~)


3. How would you imagine to look with an impressive (maybe not all too natural or breed-accurate) pair of antlers or horns? :3

(Mainly directed at our two deers, but I'd be interested in what our beloved artist would want to have too!)




Thanks for doing this, I'm curious what you'll doodle for us!

How long will this comic go on, do you know? Could you give us an estimate? 100 pages, 200 pages?

Will we see the herd again soon? Or are we going to have a longer period of time alone with the siblings?Β 

Why are there so many bucks in one herd, aren't they typically kicked out once they reach maturity? Going off that, how do you chose how "deer" your characters act, and how much to "humanize" them?

Nero; did you know that in an alternative universe you're a cool bloke with a demon dad and uncle? It's cool because you're both edge lords. ;D

To both:
Was there ever a time where you learned what not to eat in the worst possible way?

This question is kinda related to the comic? I guess? More on the technical side tho. Since in the beginning of the comic you had your struggles with Photoshop I wonder how you found your way to build up such amazing foliage backgrounds. Any tips or tricks? Also - did you use custom brushes or did you made them yourself? Could you share a link to the brushes? I especially love the leaves on shrubs and bushes. And since I am terrified of backgrounds I don't know where to start, feels like I'm going back and forth with building the body of objects that create the scene.

As a group of only two now, do you think you will entertain the idea of more herd members in the future? If you were to stumble upon them.

Will you ever show us a video process on how you make pages? I'd love to see a video process of you like, drawing out the panels, digitizing (if you don't already from the get go), and just like how you draw and stuff. I'd like to see a page built from scratch. Is that something you're interested in doing as an artist?Β
