Slight gap in episodes but we’re back, this time we got a very scaly, productive user with us, the creator of ‘ Ouroboros ‘, Anomaly !
Welcome nomsy !
Without too much hassle, let’s just get into it !
▫️◽️◻️❔ Questions ❔◻️◽️▫️
0️⃣1️⃣
Your series project ouroboros is all about zombies, some psychological elements I believe and much more, what were some of the inspirations for this story? Were some inspirations direct contributors to the plot or moreso just prompts for what to base things off of perhaps.
0️⃣2️⃣
Will Caiman ever get his pet duck?

0️⃣3️⃣
What was the relation between an anomaly and a lizard that made you think ‘ yes that’s me ‘?
0️⃣4️⃣
How have you been since your last update on your mental health? Any luck with the anxiety?
0️⃣5️⃣
If you could have any voice actor in the world voice a character from ouroboros or another project, who would it be and why?
0️⃣6️⃣
When are you going to drop an animation with your recent stickfigures? particularly Louise, no rush or whatever I just ask out of curiosity because it would absolutely slap.
0️⃣7️⃣
Did you ever have a show or series on YouTube that you used to watch that was your favourite show etc at the time?
0️⃣8️⃣
From a timed perspective if you had funding do you think even with your current lifestyle arrangements you could make Ouroboros possible? As in fully made at least by the standards of getting something generally complete released
0️⃣9️⃣
You speak about writing a lot and I’m sure this has been asked before but have you considered becoming a legitimate writer for a career path?
1️⃣0️⃣
Very important question read carefully. Pizza, Burger, Tortilla or Taco?
1️⃣1️⃣
Best fast food chain?
1️⃣2️⃣
You’ve mentioned various music artists and genres of music, do you have a favourite or one that stands out to you most?
1️⃣3️⃣
If you could be known for something in your lifetime or have had accomplished something, what would it be?
1️⃣4️⃣
What is your favourite aspect of any piece of media, show or film? Anything you feel is essential for the media to be good and engaging?
1️⃣5️⃣
You mentioned a new or secret project you’ve been working on for a while now, will this substitute the effort and potential for a release of Ouroboros? could it be a prequel, spin-off, build-off of idea etc?
☑️ The conclusion of the interview ☑️
I’m realising that I failed to keep in tradition of asking guests how they are first etc, I did though in good spirit naturally go to ask it in a later question which is arguably more meaningful.
That aside though this was great to do, to keep up to date with the anomaly lore, details on Ouroboros and so on, all really good stuff and the research into these things is always super engaging.
Have an awesome rest of your day amigo, take care of yourself !

0️⃣1️⃣
Uroboros was heavily inspired by The Last of Us: Part 2, which is part of the reason It’s currently postponed. I wanted to step away from the inspiration and try to create something wholly original. When I do pick up Uroboros again, it’ll be far from what it once was. …In a good way.
0️⃣2️⃣
Maybe? He’s in the new project, but I can see how I could easily fit a duck into it. Caiman always has it rough, no matter the iteration. He needs a duck.
0️⃣3️⃣
I just love lizards. It’s something that started with my fascination with dragons, birds and stuff. Maybe because of Toothless from HTTYD. Nonetheless, I always just liked the little guys. I cannot tell you why I named myself Anomaly— I have no clue.
0️⃣4️⃣
Anxiety’s a bitch, yeah. Still dealing with it in small amounts every day, but it’s gotten easier. I just take it a day at a time.
0️⃣5️⃣
I think a lot about voice headcanons so this is actually pretty hard. I’ve always had Caiman’s voice in the back of my mind, and he’s always sounded like Nolan North to me.
0️⃣6️⃣
…Probably never? With Louise and some of my figures, they were done for artwork’s sake. I wanted to expand on their designs and give her a needed revamp, never planned to do anything with it just yet. It’s being used, though. Ain’t laying in the dirt with Uroboros.
0️⃣7️⃣
I grew up with YouTube shows like Asdfmovie, but they faded after a while and never really did anything for me. One show that always stuck with me was Alan Becker’s Animation vs Minecraft. I would spend weeks waiting for the next episode of his Minecraft series. Came back for Season 3 and enjoyed it all the same. Classic.
0️⃣8️⃣
Uroboros is postponed, but with my current project I have the outlook of being able to finish the story over the Summer. From that scope and its genuine announcement, I’d give it about nine months for the first installment.
0️⃣9️⃣
Yeah, I’ve considered it heavily. It’s definitely what I want to do legitimately. Haven’t really put a nail on exactly how I want to apply it, but I do know I want to be a storyteller.
1️⃣0️⃣
Pizza, definitely.
1️⃣1️⃣
Really can’t choose. Generally just fuck large food companies, I’m all about local businesses.
1️⃣2️⃣
Mitski! I love her music so much, it really helped me get through a lot. Music is how I process a lot of things, big and small. Whenever it’s big, I’m usually listening to Mitski.
1️⃣3️⃣
I want to make something meaningful. More than anything, I want to create something that matters. People will read or watch something I helped create and see the meaning, see the story and have it have some effect on them. It’s a dream of mine to have someone tell me something I wrote that made them happy, or emotional. Make a mark. Maybe not even that, just a dent. Make something.
1️⃣4️⃣
Theme! It’s not imperative for every piece of media, but I love when a story ties together through the message it wants to tell. Even if it’s so subliminal that it requires multiple viewings, that makes it special to me. It’s meaning, intrinsic and cared for. A story without well-written themes is a story stuck in a thick mist. The last show I watched that nailed this for me was Blue Eye Samurai. It had so much work put into every small detail, all baked into the themes. That’s why my newest project is taking so long to reveal. I’m working on tying it all together.
1️⃣5️⃣
I think from my answers to the previous questions I answered this for you by accident. To explain, it isn’t a prequel, or a sequel, or even a spin-off. It’s something new, but it has some of the same characters. Different concepts, substantially different themes. It excels everywhere Uroboros couldn’t. There’s a reason it’s kept secret, though. I just wanted to keep it feeling small for now because when everyone knows, that’s pressure and unneeded anxiety. I can pace myself as long as it stays secret, but if it’s not finished when it’s revealed, I’ll end up letting it slip away and become another corpse of a story. Another dead story that showed promise and died. Just like Uroboros.
Until it’s fully written, it stays secret.
Anyways, happy to answer your questions! Always a treat to talk to you and talk about the things I’m making.
