Kinky: When you finally get asked out by a girl for the first time in your life, of course you’ll be ecstatic. You finally get the chance to have a relationship and finally interact with a real 3D female. The problem is? You find out she’s a yandere! Now any man in there right mind would leave right then and there, but if she’s drawn in such a beautiful way that she’s just too cute and irresistible, you’ll just decide to stay with the bitch. May I welcome you to kjech! How are you doing kjech?





kjech: Hello! Doing fine, thank you!





Kinky: Okay I’ve been seeing this a lot so I must ask. A lot of artists have names that I either don’t understand or don’t make sense. How did you choose your name?

kjech: To be honest, it was a long time ago so I completely forgot why did I choose that! I guess it’s weird enough that people are able to remember it.

Kinky: How long have you’ve been drawing?

kjech: Since I was like… 7 years old I think!

Kinky: When did you start thinking that you wanted to do something more with your art, like make a living doing it?

kjech: I quickly realized I can’t do anything else other than to draw so… it’s a matter of survivalism!

Kinky: Some people may say being an artist is one of those hard jobs that is difficult to obtain, like being a famous writer, popular actor, and so on. How has the journey of being an artist been for you?

kjech: I do think the life of a creator is rough in general. You struggle to be known and when you get known you also expose your insecurities and faults to a lot of people. Still those of us who do this stuff is because we really love it and have the will to keep pushing even through hard times. I just hope that people will keep enjoying what i do!

Kinky: I’m an artist myself and the art I’ve seen around me surely shaped the way I go about drawing. Examples would be Shigenori Soejima, artist of Persona and Rui Komatsuzaki, artist of Dangan Ronpa. Is there any artist that you say inspired your art?

kjech: Well, for me the author that made me really want to become a manga artist was Yasuhiro Nightow, creator of Trigun. I first watched the anime and fell in love but it wasn’t until I read the manga that I knew that was what I wanted to do. I also really liked Ken Akamatsu because I really enjoyed Love Hina back in the day and has a special place in my heart.

Kinky: Your art is very anime inspired so I’m assuming that you watch anime. Any you would consider your favorites?

kjech: I like anime when is it’s own thing. Whenever an anime is based off a manga, i prefer to read the manga. So in general the anime I like is stuff that was created to be anime first and foremost. My favorites are Cowboy Bebop, FuriKuri, Evangelion. Lately I’ve really enjoyed Little Witch Academia even though it’s more for kids.

Kinky: You do the character art for Yandere Simulator. How did that happen?

kjech: Well, I joined when quite a bit of work was already done on the rivals specifically by another artist by the name of aea in Deviant Art. I applied to work as a volunteer, first thing I got to do was making an illustration of the Student Counselor and then I got to design Yanderechan’s mom. After that, work on the character portraits was apparently not going so well so I started working on them without any guaranty they would actually get used in the end. Turns out they did get used!
