With a combination of your artwork, so do you think you would like one day to write a nice, clean interactive novel?

Since I want to get into graphic design, possibly. Not sure that they make them in the US, though.
I would love doing artwork for video games. I was admiring some of the menu, painting style artwork on the Skylander's games.

US. Pretty sure. I know the voice actors are popular American voice actors who act in a variety of popular entertainment these days. Two being D. Bradley Baker, Tara Strong, who have both had roles in the Ben 10 cartoons on Cartoon Network. (Of which my brother and I are fans.) Think Tara Strong voice acted in some of the English versions of Final Fantasy games, too. As well as one of the main characters in MLP: Friendship is Magic, which is popular even with adults.
Skylanders is a fairly new game that came out a few years ago and introduced a new concept: that of placing figures of characters on a "portal" and then appearing in-game. There are three Skylanders games so far and we have all three.

Well, I guess there would be more chance of you getting involved eventually in the production team of an American based game than with a Japanese one...

Blessings.

Not unless I moved to Japan and learnedtheir language .xD That be a lot of trouble just to get involved, though. Plus I have no problems working with American companies, being an American.

There are American companies that take some Japanese games and make them into American versions. The Sonic games, for example, originate in Japan. SEGA of America brings them to an American audience. (There is a SEGA of Japan, too. But Sonic Team in Japan comes up with the concepts.)
I don't think the American companies have much if anything to do with the artwork and animation, though.

I didn't know there was a difference between SEGA US and SEGA Japan.

So I guess you mean the companies might well hire freelance artists to do the animation, then?

Blessings.

No idea. I think the American companies mainly deal in translating and Americanizing the games, and findingsuitable voice actors.

...and even bowlderizing them, too, sometimes, maybe...?

Not sure on that one. I think even in Japan Sonic is meant for kids, so there's probably not much to bowdlerize. On any Sonic game you buy you have the option to watch the version with Japaneze voice actors (with English subtitles), and the only real difference I know of is that the Japaneze version of dialogue may include minor swear words. (The "D" and "S" equivalents in the Japaneze language appear even in children's programs in Japan, to my understanding.)

Also, Sonic is much more popular in America than he is in Japan.

BTW, apparently Mario originated in Japan, too? At least he exists there, or did at some point.

Yes, well, some rock music contains rude words as well, doesn't it.

Mario is with Nintendo. Nintendo and SEGA were competitors, but maybetheyve merged in more recent years?

At any rate, I know Sonics creator was Japanese. And that Sonic Team is, having seen videos of themtthem talking about new releases.
 
Mario is actually an American idea. he is first seen in the old Atari game as the bad guy holding donkey kong's son then in Mario bros.nintendo paid rights to creat super Mario bros. when Atari went defunct, Nintendo bough the rights all together.
 
Excuse my spelling and grammar. My kindle's auto correct works in weird ways and it gets frustrating to correctit. Also typing fast on here makes the words run together, even when I clearly hit the space button.
Typing in my iPod is so much easier.
