Congrats! What is your favorite thing to do at DCA - dawna  286.9 #686 11:02AM
Sit in the Animation Academy lobby, singing along to all the clips playing around the room :3 - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 11:06AM
Congrats. My question is what would you like to do with your awesome artistic skills? - Villescas8(V8)  589.1 #185 11:06AM
Well, it's been my lifelong dream to work as an animator at the Walt Disney Studios, preferably in character design. - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 11:09AM
What is your favorite "land" in DL or DCA and why is it your favorite? - PirateQueenBriezy  291.4 #661 11:10AM
Hm... I'd say NOS or Frontierland. I love the detail put into NOS, and I'd always had a fascination with the "old west". - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 11:13AM
Ok first of all, you are an amazing artist! My question is what is your favorite thing to eat while in the parks? - Jillian  765.4 #129 11:11AM
Probably sweet potato fries, but the monte cristo comes in as a close second :) - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 11:15AM
Aww! Today is your day! When did you know you had mad sketching skillz? And do you like chocolate chip cookies? ;o) - MomWithAJuiceBoxBuzz  922.2 #94 11:21AM
Well, I've been drawing since I was about 3 years old. Of course, I've come a long way since then, but I knew that I wanted to be an artist from the first time I picked up a pencil. And about chocolate chip cookies... Funny thing actually... I don't like chocolate. I don't know why, but it just tastes bitter :P - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 11:28AM
Does anyone else in your family have artistic skills like yourself? What are some other interest/hobbies you enjoy doing outside of the parks? - ScubaSteve028  811.3 #114 11:22AM
Yes, a few on both sides, but I am related to the artist Van Dyke. Some other hobbies I enjoy are singing, musical theater, horseback riding, and being on MW :) - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 11:31AM
Really? That's awesome! Those are some great hobbies as well👍 - ScubaSteve028  811.3 #114 11:37AM
We share the same hobbies! Except I can't draw! - Gia  785.4 #120 11:38AM
We'll have even more stuff to talk about at the reunion! :D - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 12:15PM
Congrats on being MWer of the day! I have to say, you truly have artistic talent and I love all your artwork! Thanks for sharing with us! Question: favorite songs? Disney and non- Disney? - Gia  785.4 #120 11:40AM
Oh, thank you so much! My favorite Disney song... Probably When she Loved Me from Toy Story 2, my favorite non-Disney song (At the moment anyways) is We Built This City, it's so much fun to sing along to in the car :D - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 11:44AM
Stormtrooper or Wookie?? - VADERonSOARIN  524.0 #220 1:06PM
Ewok! - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 1:09PM
Just kidding, wookie, haha. - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 8:34PM
Hi you are truly talented! Do u like sweets or are you a salty person? Summer or winter? Your favorite flower and most embarrassing moment - MarshaMouse  2835.7 #16 1:11PM
I love both, but I'm gonna say salty. Definitely winter, I love cold weather. My favorite flower is a tiger lily. My most embarrassing moment... It was a few years ago, I was visiting my grandparents in Indiana. One day we went to a nearby water park, it was a horribly cold summer day, and I was wearing a bathing suit, plus the water was freezing. I decided to be dumb and go on the biggest slide, when I got off, I noticed people were staring at me funny. I had no idea why, until I finally looked down to find my bathing suit top had fallen down... I ran into the lazy river and cried for about 10 minutes... - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 1:20PM
The worst part? My mom got video of it... - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 1:26PM
Omg that is so sad. I would have cried too. - MarshaMouse  2835.7 #16 7:00PM
Yeah, it wasn't fun... Haha. - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 7:12PM
Any more questions? I'm up for anything! - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 2:21PM
I love your art work, to bad I didn't know it was you that drew these characters or else i would of ask you a lot of questions when we met. How did you learn you art skills and would pursue an artist career? - VfxGenie  1353.4 #59 2:26PM
I just learned from practice, I'm a self-taught artist. The first art class I ever took was my junior year of high school, and I immediately advanced into AP Studio Art, I'm going to CSUF next year to major in animation. As for a career, I wish nothing more than being an animator/character designer for Disney Animation Studios. :) - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 2:37PM
Nice! 3D animation or 2d drawing animation? I hope to see you in the park again soon, we have so much to talk about....hehehehe. - VfxGenie  1353.4 #59 3:33PM
I prefer 2D, but I need to learn 3D. Hope to see you too! I don't think I made it clear last time we met about who I was, haha. - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 4:13PM
lol, sorry I was to busy eating when we met...lol. All I can say is learn Maya. That's the industry standard for 3d animation. - VfxGenie  1353.4 #59 4:25PM
Thanks for the tip! I really appreciate it :) - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 4:31PM
Yayyyy congrats! If you could build a new ride at dl what would it be like:)? - BooEve123  800.3 #115 4:18PM
Definitely a Lion King ride, something mixing the serenity of a boat ride such as Small World with an adrenaline rush roller coaster like California Screamin'. I loved your video and the design on the shirt, can't wait to meet you at the reunion! - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 4:34PM
Congrats LionGeek! Have you ever been in a Fist fight and if so did you win? - donnievegas  1127.5 #72 4:51PM
Never have, and hopefully never will! I'm a lover, not a fighter, haha. - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 4:56PM
Excellent answer! Can you draw a pic of madsdad and M4L battling it out in an Octagon for me? - donnievegas  1127.5 #72 4:58PM
Well... Um... I can try? I won't get it done today, but it'll happen. Haha! - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 5:05PM
I knew I liked you, I can't wait to see it. - donnievegas  1127.5 #72 6:38PM
More questions....do you have any pets? If you could go anywhere on a vacation (other than a Disney park or Disney cruise!) where do you want to go? - Gia  785.4 #120 6:29PM
I have two dogs, Wyatt and Gracie. As for vacation, I'd have to say Yellowstone, I love observing wildlife in their natural setting. :) - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 6:35PM
What kind of dogs? I love Yellowstone...so much to see and so unique! - Gia  785.4 #120 6:41PM
Wyatt is a big ol' yellow laborador, and Gracie is a little beagle mix. I used to have two cats, but one was killed by a coyote. The other now lives with our elderly neighbor across the street, so I see him around every now and then. - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 6:47PM
LG you are so talented! My question: are you still going to visit us in the Lounge once you become a famous illustrator? - PrincessDuckie  587.8 #187 6:50PM
You guys are going to be the first people I'll talk to! Haha. - CM_LionGeek  340.3 #431 6:50PM
