Here comes a new round of questions! There were a LOT submitted over this month (thank you all so much for sending them!!!), so I’ve decided to split this one up and post the other half in a few weeks. As usual, lots of Oddity Woods questions, some I can’t really answer yet, but I’ll do my best!
Oddity Woods
Q: When will book two be released?
A: While I don’t have an exact date yet, I’ve heard it’s scheduled for some time next summer! It’s a bit of a wait, but I promise it will be worth it… there’s so much lore and mystery and drama I can’t wait to show. In the meantime, I’ll continue posting art and answering questions when I can!
Q: Will Marietta ever see her family again as ghosts?
A: I can’t say. But I think we will learn a little more about her past family soon…
Q: Who started the town fire? Or was it a wildfire?
A: The police think it was an arson, so it’s likely someone was responsible. Another mystery we may learn more about in the next book!
Q: What inspired you to create Lawrence? Besides him being the ride to places (as I saw in something you had drawn) how else will he be important?
I like writing villains who are really bad at being villains. He was going to just be a character that appeared in the inn chapter, but people ended up liking him a lot in the webcomic days and I started liking him too haha. So now he’s an important character! I’m going to save it for book two, but I’ll say that Lawrence is probably the nicest and most responsible character in Oddity Woods weirdly enough. You can have some old concept of him from 2017!
Q: Will characters like Lawrence's family, Whistle the ghost dog and Anita return along with some cut characters from the webcomic?
A: Most of the minor characters shown in book 1 will come back in some way throughout the series! I don’t think any cut characters will appear though, there’s not much room for them.
Q: I know that Harris and Lawrence are stepbrothers. Looking at the pictures, the painting, and the memory Lawrence looks uncomfortable and Harris is in more of them. Is Lawrence worried that Harris is replacing him?
A: Good eye. I think Lawrence definitely had a hard time getting used to his new family and his curse, which is probably why he acted out so much. But I think he does care for them deep down, and realized that when Harris was in danger.
Q: Are werewolves really Wyatt's favorite paranormal creature?
A: Wyatt likes all paranormal creatures equally and will equally geek out about them. Except for ghosts. He hates ghosts.
Q: I noticed when reading that it looks like Lawrence, Harris, Susi, and Arthur have fur jackets. Are they all real or faux fur?
A: Arthur’s is real fur because he sucks. : (
Q: How exactly do werewolves work in Oddity Woods? It seemed like they could choose to transform if they wanted too but I wasn't sure. Also, is Harris, Lawrences and their moms having yellow eyes related to them being werewolves?
A: Werewolves can transform at will as long as the moon is out! And yep, their eyes are yellow because of their curse. They used to have normal eyes!
Q: Does Lawrence read manga? Is he a weeb?
A: I don’t think manga exists in Oddity Woods, but like, yes.
Q: What Pokemon would the Oddity Woods cast have?
Misfit Mansion
Q: What are the Misfit Mansion characters' favorite ice cream flavors? I feel like Iris is the type of person to like really bizarre ones.
A: Yeah Iris would try any flavor once! Agnes likes vanilla, Mathias chocolate, Kel prefers sorbet, Dahlia would like bitter flavors like matcha or mint… Larkspur doesn’t like to be cold so he’d probably prefer cake or hot chocolate.
Q: Will June probably show up again as a minor character or something?
A: We’ll see! :O
