Maximillion "Max" Hunter
Max Hunter is your average Zoomer that doesn't understand the meaning of maturity and has a love for stuff from the 90s and early 2000s even if he didn't exist in or is too young to remember those time periods. Born and raised near Baltimore, he's your standard issued nerdy maniak that enjoys watching cartoons and superhero movies while also making people question his sanity. He first came up with Nerdy Maniakz during his freshman year and continued developing it all throughout high school while trying to maintain a C average grade. Nowadays, he lives somewhat comfortably in his father's basement somewhere in Maryland.

Talents and Hobbies: Drawing, storytelling, writing, world building, method voice acting, improvisation, directing, producing, video editing, video gaming, singing, rapping, playing trumpet, building a brand, and supporting other artists

I've always been the creative one in the family, first by drawing random scribbles and doodles. In middle school, I made a comic consisting of stick figures.

I've always been the creative one in the family, first by drawing random scribbles and doodles. In middle school, I made a comic consisting of stick figures. My art teacher loved it so much that he encouraged me to keep drawing them. It was that year I developed Stick Guy and did several comics for the series, most of which I gave to the art teacher. From there, I decided to take a knack at drawing actual cartoon people. My freshman year, I started developing Nerdy Maniakz after creating Bailey McChicken. Ever since then, I've been drawing in my art style for about seven or so years while also helping out my other creative friends on the side.

I've worked in a variety of art styles but more often than not draw in my cartoon style. I first draw out the sketch in graphite (or pencil as you non-artists call it), trace it in sharpie, and color it with both Sharpie and colored pencils, mainly sticking to using a combination of Crayola and Prismacolor pencils.

I've worked in a variety of art styles but more often than not draw in my cartoon style. I first draw out the sketch in graphite (or pencil as you non-artists call it), trace it in sharpie, and color it with both Sharpie and colored pencils, mainly sticking to using a combination of Crayola and Prismacolor pencils. In the past, I've use Flipaclip for making animatics and AutoDesk Sketchbook for drawing digitally. Nowadays, I'm drawing digitally using Sketchbook and I'm currently learning how to use Adobe Animate. I'm no drawing tablet guy, I draw directly on my HP Pavilion laptop which I also use for recording voiceover, writing scripts, and the occasion gaming.

I get inspired by a lot of things: people that I see and meet, events that happen in my day-to-day life, a variety of cartoons and TV shows from the last few decades, videos I find on YouTube, and of course the music I listen to.

I get inspired by a lot of things: people that I see and meet, events that happen in my day-to-day life, a variety of cartoons and TV shows from the last few decades, videos I find on YouTube, and of course the music I listen to. Some of the more bigger influences include shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Invader Zim, Danny Phantom, South Park, Johnny Test, Rocko's Modern Life, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I hope to one day have Nerdy Maniakz be like one of those cartoons. If not, maybe I'll work on someone else's show and do my darndest to make it the next big thing.
