Q&A Weekly AMA: Noipoi (Round 3)

[Ramen Tengoku]

Noipoi​

This AMA's subject is a Social thread fav and a dang good artist, Noipoi!

Now this ain't Noipoi's first AMA here as they were a subject twice before. I'd strongly recommend checking out Noipoi's initial AMA from 2019, along with their second one from last year, just so we don't get a majority of repeat questions. However a good amount of time has passed from them and some answers may have changed, so at the same time, I wouldn't completely discourage repeats either.

As always, all site rules are in effect. Please try and limit yourself to one post containing up to three questions until Noipoi has answered, then you may ask more. And when asking questions, please keep it civil. Have fun! If you're curious about if you're on the list of future AMAs, refer to this post over in the Social thread. If you're not and you'd like to be added, please send me a message. Even if you've been a subject in the past, you're free to go again! We'll try to draw one name for an AMA each week, so stay tuned! And if you wanna check out some of the older AMAs, please refer to this post in the Social Thread

Alright, Noipoi , let's get this party started

I'll start:

1. On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with Ultimate's set of newcomers?
2. What your top 3 favorite regional variants/evolutions from PLA?
3. Whati is your favorite piece of art you've drawn?

 

[Lamperouge]

1. Excluding the finale, what scene in THE HEIST are you personally the most proud of?
2. How do you want the main series Pokemon games to be handled after Legends Arceus?
3. What's your favorite level in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze?

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

1. What have been some characters that have inspired characters in your own projects?
2. Whaddaya think of the Cuphead Show so far?
3. Who's your favorite Nintendo characters?

 

[Zinith]

1. If you could redesign any Pokemon, what would it be?
2. What tools do you use to make art?
3. Funny non-sequitur question If you've traveled before, what's the best city you've been to?

Howdy!

1: I’m gonna have to say 10. They really gave the fans what they wanted with this entry, and that’s something I can appreciate. Even the characters that I personally am not really into, I can appreciate the substance of their inclusion.

For the most part

Just a damn good roster. They’re gonna have a tough time topping it.

2. Goodra, Typhlosion, and Zoroark.

3. That’s a tricky one. As an artist, I become very disillusioned by my work very quickly. I pick up on the flaws, what I need to improve on my next piece. As such, it’s hard for me to look at an old piece fondly. I can’t say I have a favorite, but there are definitely pieces I find myself still enjoying. One being this doodle right here:

I just think it turned out really cool.

1. Excluding the finale, what scene in THE HEIST are you personally the most proud of?
2. How do you want the main series Pokemon games to be handled after Legends Arceus?
3. What's your favorite level in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze?

1. The scene where Lamp can’t hold the master sword is still one of my favorite jokes.

2. I want the open area concept to continue, perhaps a fully connected open world. I want seamless battles to return, as well as overworld Pokémon catching. Really, I just want a new gen game with breeding and competitive, but with legends gameplay.

And better graphics. Good lord.

3. Grassland Groove is radical.

 

[KillerCage]

1) Did you hire those Servbots to kidnap Beefuru?

2) How many times are you willing to kill Ryu Hayabusa?

3) Do you believe Sly Cooper can fly?

 

[Noipoi]

1. What have been some characters that have inspired characters in your own projects?
2. Whaddaya think of the Cuphead Show so far?
3. Who's your favorite Nintendo characters?

1. Toothless from HTTYD, and Stitch from Lilo and Stitch continue to be massive inspirations to pretty much any character I design. At least in some form. The main protagonist of my pilot is basically an amalgamation of the two.

2. I think it’s zany friggin loony, which is pretty much what I like in a cartoon. Don’t get me wrong, I adore a more story focused or laid back cartoon. I don’t think cartoons should only be one way. But I dunno man, I gotta lot of respect for classic slapstick.

3. Not counting a favorite Pokémon…I’m very partial to Bowser. I think he’s awesome.

1. If you could redesign any Pokemon, what would it be?
2. What tools do you use to make art?
3. Funny non-sequitur question If you've traveled before, what's the best city you've been to?

1. Rillaboom. And I’d make a very simple change.

How do you play the bongos? You pound them. What do gorillas do? They pound their chests.

I’d give the grass gorilla a wooden chest it could pound, instead of having it lug around a drum set everywhere.

2. I use Clip Studio Paint!

3. I love NYC. It’s crowded and smelly and I adore it.

 

[Noipoi]

3) Do you believe Sly Cooper can fly?

1. Nah, I don't eat beef.

2. I wouldn't kill him, he's a real ass ninja.

3. I believe he can touch the sky.

4. What's a ****ty commercial from your childhood that's stuck with you over the years?
5. Favorite candy bar?
6. You have any shoe brand preferences?

5. Favorite candy bar?
6. You have any shoe brand preferences?

1. The weird ass disresectoid Caprisun commercials. Kids would disrespect a pouch of Caprisun (As if an aluminum bag of flavored sewer water deserves respect) and they'd be given some form of awful karmic punishment as a result.

2. Kit-Kat

3. I don't care at all dude.

Which has landed me in some trouble when I go out wearing shoes that apparently aren't cool, and I get super dunked on.

 

[KillerCage]

4) Hee ho?
