Hobbies: irc. drawing. comic book collecting. anime watching.
meeting with friends. Heh. well.. There's only one r in
my name. I hear it's a common name.
Dangermouse:
Ok, heh, now your in Mistigris at the moment I'm guessing,
but take us back to the beginning..
Silent
Knight:
Well... I've been in mistigris since october 96 at the time
of their second anniversary.. and have become their vga
department head. I was noticed and recruited by Cthulu after
I drew a cartoon fish for a sonic equinox demo..
About
a year before that time I had been working on a side project
called dream factory.. Dfact is completely seperate from
mist and will remain as such, though there are a few members
who share responcitibilities in both groups..
Responcibilities
even.
Dangermouse:
Thats a big word :> ~8)
Silent
Knight:
Heh. yes. indeed.
Dangermouse:
Tell us more about dream factory and why you set it up..
Silent
Knight:
I currently run mistigris.ml.org which is the official mistigris
web site..
Dangermouse:
Ahh, * plug there ppl, visit it *
Silent
Knight:
I set up dream factory because I has been creating art and
wanted other peope to see it, and I knew there were other
people that wanted the same. It's a comic book company for
the most part because comic books are for the most part
my favorite art form.
It
started as an art group.. and moved on to a magazine.. over
it's gestaton.. or you could say.. evolution..
Dangermouse:
What current projects are you working on within Dream Factory?
Silent
Knight:
Currently? I'm working on getting a business plan together..
I'm working laying out everyone's graphics for a free preview
that will be released on the net in mist packs, and in vancouver
based comic book stores...
I'm
making sure that we have enough art to fill both issue one
and two before issue one is ready..
I'm
working on my own comic book related stories which will
go into future issues..
Dangermouse:
It seems we share a similar interest.. Have you seen 'The
Chickenator' online comic?
Silent
Knight:
I meet every week to watch anime with friends.. and from
there I discuss business.. As it's often the same people
who I watch anime with at these meets that are involved
with dfact...
yes..
I saw the chickenator comic.. I liked it. It was color though..
Dangermouse:
Heh, the second issue of it will be out shortly, perhaps
a week, with better art and colouring (airburshing, etc)..
Silent
Knight:
For asthetic reasons dfact is black and white. heh....
Dangermouse:
Cool..
Silent
Knight:
Will the art style change?
Dangermouse:
It has yes, it is now more serious/dark..
Silent
Knight:
I like the cartoony style it fits well with a super-hero
perody.
Dangermouse:
It does, yes, but there is now a busty chick to added for
more excitement :)
Silent
Knight:
Yes.. you should look at ian kim's comic: Emiko's Genesis
Dangermouse:
Ahh, url?
Silent
Knight:
http://genesis.maison-otaku.net/
Dangermouse:
Ok, back on track.. Tell me a little about Mistigris, and
whats happening there at the moment..
Silent
Knight:
At the moment, we're trying to get more of a web presence..
more of a professional outlook.. There has been talk of
printing business cards for each of the members..
Dangermouse:
Is Mistigris starting to look like a 'company' as such then?
Silent
Knight:
And of a cd printed with will have all of our releases some
live music and video from mist members either performing
music or having fun..
It's
not a company per se.. but more of a local arts club that's
would like a larger audience than the local scene, not to
say that it doesn't apreciate the attention that it gets..
There were a lot of download this month from the mist server,
more than I was expecting.
I don't
think the structure of mist would be comparable to a company...
As it is very community based..
Dangermouse:
What do you think the future holds? A wider audience for
Mistigris, and some great Dream Factory comics?
Silent
Knight:
Well.. for mistigris.. I would say that the future hold
bigger packs.. and eventually some recognition in the outside
world...
For
dream Factory I expect taht it will have success as an independent
mature readers comic anthology.. After that Dfact may branch
out into animation.
Dangermouse:
Well, that about covers all of it baby :)
Silent
Knight:
Really?
Dangermouse:
Well yeah
Silent
Knight:
There isn't anymore more you want to ask me?
Dangermouse:
Not really, do you have anything in mind?
Silent
Knight:
Hmm. Well.. visit the dfact site at http://24.112.126.133/dfact/
(under construction.)
Dangermouse:
I will..
Silent
Knight:
I don't think I had anything else in mind.. So I suppose
this is goodbye.
Dangermouse:
yeo, been nice chatting to yer mang, cya l8r..
