Michael C Hsiung is characterized by: large mustache (one of the few remaining facially hairy Asians surviving today) with all of the species capable of reaching one ton or more in weight; herbivorous diet; and a thin yellow protective skin, 1.5-5 cm thick, formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure; and a relatively small brain for a mammal of his size (400-600g). . Michael is prized for its mustache, sometimes his art. Not a true mustache, it is made of thickly matted hair that grows from the skull without skeletal support. Michael has acute hearing and sense of smell, but poor eyesight over any distance. Michael C. Hsiung will probably live to be about 50 years old or more.

Michael's Final Push will inspire you to concentrate on the present and not worry too much about the future!“There’d be periods of time where I was just so conscious of what I was doing and the process that it would be hard to make stuff.”
“I’ll try to recreate an environment where I enjoyed drawing when I first started.”
“Just start out with a stupid idea and let it blossom.”
“If you’re bored, just draw something.”
“It’s nice to try to keep some kind of schedule because if it’s too flexible, you probably don’t get a lot of work done.”
