<p>It&#8217;s that time again! The time when I can randomly <a href="https://bagogames.com/news/interviews/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">interview</a> a webcomic artist I enjoy, just because I&#8217;m the Editor in Chief and I don&#8217;t have to ask for permission to do so on this site, (Don&#8217;t tell the higher ups I said that). For this entry, I&#8217;m interviewing <a href="https://twitter.com/Baierworks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cody Baier</a>, the creator of the high flying adventure comic, <a href="http://www.cloudscratcher.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cloudscrather</a>. It was a joy being able to chat about where the idea for the comic came from and the many, MANY, references the comic has, below you can read the interview in full.</p>

A passing thought hit my brain of this kind of look mixed in with the kind of cartoons I watched as a kid (no idea what even brought that thought on) and that triggered what was basically idea diarrhea. A whole concept and story just blasted its way out of my brain, brought on by that passing thought. I sat on the idea for 7 years after that for a few reasons, ranging from &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how to draw anthro characters or anything cartoony&#8221; to &#8220;I don&#8217;t wanna get called a furry&#8221;. Eventually I just sucked it up and decided to make the comic, going on a whole bender of downloading old model sheets and learning the 90&#8217;s toon aesthetic.</p>

The simple idea of &#8220;resistance fights the evil empire&#8221; is a simple enough cartoony premise to build a story on, and from there I built the world, characters, and deeper aspects of the story. I&#8217;m going for an &#8220;all ages&#8221; feel, so while there&#8217;s colorful characters, goofy moments, and action for younger readers, older readers can enjoy the more nuanced character moments, lore, and intrigue. The look and feel of the comic is an overall hodgepodge of what I watched as a kid. Even tonally, as I try to never go darker than, say, Batman, Gargoyles, or Don Bluth&#8217;s films would go. It&#8217;s also worth noting that the aesthetic itself deliberately pulls from specific shows moreso than the writing does. Female feline characters, for instance, are designed in the style of the female characters from Swat Kats, while the sky pirate Hev E. Meowtal is designed to resemble Dragon (the farmer&#8217;s cat) from The Secret of NIMH. While I strive to have the writing stand on its own, I will throw in shout-outs in the visuals.</p>

The entire story is planned out, set to last 8 seasons (we&#8217;re currently midway through season 1) and I have a general timeline planned out. I keep it somewhat loose in case a new idea hits me, so I can weave it into the greater story. The sooner a storyline is the more completed it is in my head, so writing a script is just a matter of setting a guideline for myself on how to draw the page. Sometimes scenes get cut if the page count gets to be too long, though. Episode 3 was supposed to feature the scene where we see Delia get kidnapped by Wolfsbane&#8217;s goons, but that got cut due to how long the chapter already was getting. Episode 4 has been far longer than I originally intended, and that&#8217;s still after scenes got cut (like a conversation between Jericho and his wife, which would have introduced her. So she&#8217;s getting pushed back to later). So in general the writing process is just a matter of taking large chunks of the story out of my brain and putting them to paper so I know how to arrange the panels. It&#8217;s not even set chunks, just writing for a few hours and seeing how far I get, then writing some more when I get near the end of the last chunk I wrote.</div>

I view it like this: Cloudscratcher is a cartoon that exists solely in my head, and what you&#8217;re seeing is my attempt to convey that cartoon in comic form, but I only recorded the important episodes. So while season 1 might have had 20 or so episodes, I only recorded 8 of them on my magic mental VHS tape. So season 1 is set to last for 8 episodes, then a movie. Season 2 only has 3 planned, followed by a &#8220;Special&#8221;. Each season has an overall theme to it, so that&#8217;s more of the focus for me than episode count. Season 1 is all about introductions, with each Episode introducing major recurring characters, so it&#8217;s set to be 8 Episodes long since it&#8217;ll take 8 Episodes to introduce much of the central cast.</p>

His first name isn&#8217;t a major spoiler, mind you, but I feel like the revelation of his first name goes along with the revelation of who he is in a deeper sense. So the audience doesn&#8217;t know his name because there&#8217;s a lot about him they don&#8217;t know quite yet.</p>

The various uses of Chi specifically come from two related groups of people who get involved in the story later on down the line (anyone who knows Chinese can probably make some guesses if they caught the clan&#8217;s name in Chapter 13). With Cloudscrather having a heavy emphasis on adventure, I always felt that a big, exciting adventure wasn&#8217;t just about the places you go to, but the people and things you see there, as well. So the story isn&#8217;t just about all the places the characters visit in their fight against the Empire, but the people they meet, and the crazy things said people can do. Like meeting a biker chick detective that can throw shockwaves in the middle of a robot-riddled underground ruin!</p>

It&#8217;s also because of this I often have to take shortcuts I don&#8217;t want to in order to get an update out on time. So I end up losing track of just how much time a page takes me. Chapter 13 Page 8 is an example of what most pages would look like if I were doing this full time, and that took somewhere around 10 hours, if I remember correctly. A simpler page with a lot of close-ups takes a lot less time, while elaborate establishing shots will up the production time. So overall 6-14 hours depending on the level of detail.</p>

It&#8217;s already been established Kaliko and her deputies are friends with the Cloudscratcher crew. Then you&#8217;ve got the Union, Nina, all kinds of wild cards. The comic&#8217;s world is much bigger than just the Cloudscratcher crew and the Empire. There&#8217;s lots of craziness going on!</p>

Making comics has been my passion since I was a little kid. I&#8217;ve got a ton of other comic projects I wanna work on aside from Cloudscratcher, too. It&#8217;s practically an obsession! Though I do need to step away from working on the comic for a few hours, since when I don&#8217;t the art quality tends to drop. So I&#8217;ll usually play some fighting games for a couple hours or something.</p>

The Cloudscratcher game is designed like a throwback to licensed NES games from the 90&#8217;s, to keep in line with the comic&#8217;s whole shtick. 2-D platformer, lots of levels, cool upgrades and secrets, all that good stuff.</p>

Either way I don&#8217;t have a studio in mind. As for soundtrack, I have some stuff in mind that I&#8217;d do if I had the budget. There&#8217;s a song in particular that <em>needs</em> to be the show&#8217;s opening song. I&#8217;d pay for the rights out of pocket if I had to! The song in question being Youtopia by Armin van Buuren. That&#8217;s always been the opening theme to the show in my head.</p>

Several characters have theme songs, and there&#8217;s a handful of songs I&#8217;d insert into certain scenes. One of which I actually wanna pay to have animated for the season 2 special. It&#8217;s played out in my head so attached to the song I don&#8217;t think I can depict it in comic form without it!</p>
