34. Why [Webtoon Creators] Have More of a Say Than They Realize | Chat With '18 Webtoon Contest Winner and Originals Creator Kris Nguyen

Hey everybody, we’re joined today by Kris Nguyen, whose work Cape of Spirits won the 2018 Webtoon Discover contest. She currently produces Fictional Skin for Webtoon Originals, a drama series told from the view of Finn, a closeted nerd who loves drawing comics and his cousin Vivi, an outgoing student who jarringly finds that the new guy at school is just like a character out of a video game, and may be more than just a lookalike.

We had an amazing discussion with Kris, and to preview the episode, Kris talks about the beginning of her career working with Monty Oum on the acclaimed web series RWBY, gives us a behind the scenes account of what it was like to win the Webtoon contest, divulges her weekly process for Fictional Skin, and also gives us an honest assessment of how working for Webtoon Originals has changed since her first Originals series in 2018, and what creators should know before becoming an Originals creators.
