Personal

1. What’s the story behind your name “The Bundycoot”; is there any special meaning?

Well, it’s made up of two existing fictional characters: Al Bundy and Crash Bandicoot.
They used to be my childhood heroes for some reason. But wait, there’s more to it than meets the eye!
Here comes the tricky part: In German, my mother tongue, the letter “A”, as in Bandicoot, is pronounced as “Aaah”. So if somebody German-speaking vocalizes “Bandicoot” – not considering it’s an English name – it may sound to English-speaking folks like “Bundycoot”.

I see I lost you there, so let’s move on to the next question.

2. Will we ever see the real life Bundycoot?

No, I’m sorry. I like to keep my identity secret. It’s mainly because I don’t want people (co-workers, close friends, etc.) to know WHAT exactly my favourite pastime is! Hell, even my parents don’t know what I’m doing! :D

3. So you chose a furry alter ego then? Eeeww, how gross!

I know, I know…People, drawing furries, are ill-reputed as fat, ugly, asexual, perverted, nerdy geeks, who live in their parents’ basement and gorge themselves on hot pockets…hey, I’m not fat!!!!
Truth to be told, I don’t know why I chose a furry alter ego. I do fancy some furry art, but most of them are plainly awkward to me.

4. And what exactly is your furry supposed to be? Is it a dog, a kangaroo or a fucking roadkill?!

Heh, that’s the most frequently asked question ever!
It’s supposed to be a mixture of a bat and a flying fox with retarded wings.

5. Do you have any graphic arts education?

Nope! I’ve never attended any graphic arts related school or course. Everything I know I taught myself. I guess that’s the reason why I have a Iack of so many things >_<. I also think grampa Bundycoot, a professional commercial artist, has passed me the passion for drawing.

Work

6. Your tools of the trade are?

- DIN A4 copy paper
- CANSON’s Fanboy Comic Book Art Boards (11"x17") and Comic Strip Boards (5"x17")
- kneaded eraser
- an HB (0.5 mm) drop action pencil (so I don't need to sharpen that thing)
- KOH-I-NOOR graphite pencils (all available sizes)
- STAEDTLER’s pigment liners (all available sizes)
- occasionally COPIC markers (view my list)
- a scanner
- Photoshop CS3
- WACOM tablet (CintiQ 12WX -> 12,1" LCD display)
- and most important of all: My twisted mind!!!

Funny thing though, for sketching I frequently draw on squared paper with a ball pen. o.O

7. Are you open for commissions, art trades, requests, gift art, etc.?

- Commissions: Basically yes! If you’re interested send an e-mail to


Subject: Commission

I have no constant charge. It depends on the drawing itself and the additional effort I have to put in.

- Art trades: Well, it depends on the person (reliability, drawing skill level, etc.) I will co-work with and the project itself.

- Requests and gift art: No! See, I need money to pay my bills and crack whores; and to buy comics, collectibles and video games.

8. Why do you draw mostly fan art? Don’t you have any characters/projects of your own?

That’s because I’m a lazy bum and the characters/projects of my own somehow derive from already existing cartoons/comics -_-. And I’m also not good at writing (long-term) stories. Besides, people seem to be more interested in the fan art I do than my creations *sigh*.
top

9. Why do you get butt-hurt when you see art of yours posted/used somewhere else? Keyword: Art theft

Well, believe it or not, but when I started drawing and then saw some of my pics posted/used somewhere else on the net, I did feel flattered! I was like “Wow, they actually do like my creations!” But wait, they didn’t ask me for permission or credited me! And oh no, someone even claimed the image as his/her own! So what did I do next? I politely asked them if they could credit or ask me the next time and don’t claim the drawings as their own. What did I receive? Either no reply or even worse: the just laughed at me and/or gave me the finger; like “Haw-haw, what are you sick little prick gonna do about it?” Unfortunately they got me there. What was I supposed to do than coping with this crap!?
So this is the thanks for working my butt off? I even stopped drawing for a while, because I was very sad, depressed and full of anger. I guess that was my turning point - where I lost my politeness.
Little by little, I did learn coping with the situation and I decided to put a very ugly (stencil-like) mugshot of myself and my website address on each of my works. So I don’t really need to care if others credit me or not.
Against accusations I was trolling the whole internet: I don’t have that much spare time to browse in search for stolen art of mine. Friends note me where to find some of the artwork.

I might sound like a broken record, but wait till it concerns YOU personally. Mark my words. At first you feel flattered and some people might even credit you fully and stuff (which makes you continue with utter joy), but 9 out of 10 don’t give a fudge. You personally don’t mean anything to them, because in their minds you’re only good enough to entertain them. They don’t care about the effort you put in!
If you can deal with that well and if you don’t mind being the jackassed fool left behind, fine then!
top

10. But you post pictures, that aren’t actually drawn by you, too…don’t you?!

That’s right, but I ask for permission first and then credit the concerned artist fully.
top

11. Where do you take your bat-shit crazy ideas (e.g. BBC) from? What have you been smoking and can I have some?

I actually have no plausible answer to that question. And no, you can’t have any of my dope!

13. Aaaww man, don’t be such an ass! Can’t you just do that simple sign-up & log in thingy?

Why yes! I could do that indeed. And I could charge you with 20 bucks/month for poorly drawn cartoon pr0n instead!! What do you say? Are you O.K. with that?

About this website

14. Why is your website mostly Web 1.0 based? What program do you use?

I have a big lack of programming knowledge too; therefore I use the fool-proof program Dreamweaver MX. Another reason is: I don’t really want to have a run-of-the-mill Web 2.0 website, which is flooded with Flash animations.

16. Can you be found somewhere else on the internet?

Yes!
- YouTube
- deviantART
- Blogger

17. And what about Facebook, Twitter, etc.?

Facebook: No.
Twitter: Oh, sweet lord, noooooooooo!!
top

18. Why do you hardly reply to comments posted on deviantART?

Please don’t take it personally if I don’t reply to your comments. I do read every comment, but the thing is most of these comments actually don’t need to be replied to. This may sound cocky, but come on, what’s the correct reply to "first comment!; second!; epic win; lulz; ftw; wtf; etc."?
top

19. Why do you hardly reply to e-mails or notes [on deviantART] yourself?

Unlike on the previous question, I don’t have the time to answer all sent e-mails or notes. I get plenty of them - it’s almost spam-like! While writing this, my Spidey sense tells me 37 brand new e-mails have arrived in my inbox, waiting to be read and answered! Please don’t take it personally if I don’t reply, but my buddy Daniel L. is trying his best to answer all of you. And it seems he’s doing a good job, otherwise he hadn’t become a friend of many Bundycoot fans. You go, boy!
top

20. Your YouTube account is inactive because…..?

Because I realised making videos means much more pain in the neck than drawing. Besides, my first (music) video got deleted because of that WMG policy. And since I have nothing artistic valuable to contribute, I kinda abandoned this account. I probably will do some YouTube Poop videos if I’m really, really, really, reeeeeaaaally bored.

21. Can I ask you something?

No! I’m tired. So be kind and fuck off, will ya?!
