 - Tumblr: http://kyat.tumblr.com/
 - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/kyaterina/
 - DeviantArt: http://kyaterina.deviantart.com/
 - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Mahoumeido/
 - Twitter: https://twitter.com/Mahoumeido/

Q. Why won't Zone make more things for us sooner?
A. Zone already works NONSTOP on a daily basis to give us what we're already receiving, keep in mind that Zone singlehandedly works on everything regarding content created by Zone other than hiring voice actors for animations & flash games and Bennett White a.k.a. "The Sage" to write all of the episodes for ZTV News. Drawing, animating, game programming, video & audio editing, writing, composing, streaming (whenever available), voice directing, and more all keep Zone busy while awake so Zone is unfortuately unable to takes any vacations or breaks. In other words, don't complain about it like a spoiled & ungrateful brat (especially those who aren't even financially contributing to Zone) and be happy that you're even getting it unless you can do better than Zone by yourself.

Q. How did Zone learn to do draw, animate, and make games?
A. Zone is self-taught and achieved such skills through years of detailed research & daily practice, it's even highly recommended by Zone to purchase your own copy of "The Animator's Survival Kit: Expanded Edition" by Richard Williams to learn about animation.
