PWCW: You seem more professionally experienced than many of those creators, having Web comics, how-to-draw books, animation, toy design and RPG manuals on your resume. Has that affected your experience with Tokyopop?

SC: My credentials actually sound much more impressive than they really are; they were just random freelance jobs here and there. I was still very much a newbie when Tokyopop found me. The fact that I was slightly more experienced than some of my fellow new creators probably made it easier for me to learn on the job, but it was still quite challenging to learn how to write and draw a full-length graphic novel in several months.
