yes I modeled all the ships and vehicles and weapons myself it takes forever but it's awesome when I need to reuse or change an angle. so I don't have to recall the finer details especially with the ships or have tons of references to look at.. plus 3d Rendering is my job so. figure i'd put it to use in my comic

I've been doing comics since 2012. I started The Birthmarks of the _Dark World_ in 2013 but I rebooted it in 2014/2015 believe, I probably should re-format the beginning chapters soon.

I also have another comic called The RED GUARDIANS Demons, Deities! that I had started in 2012 but I have rebooted it twice since then. Now its in the second almost third chapter.

I had created the concept of Ray Thunder over a decade ago, but then took a hiatus from comics & drawing after burnout from putting a ton of energy into my print series I had been working on for 3 straight years. After getting back into comics and remastering my print series a couple of years back, I had decided on making a webcomic series. Ray Thunder was the only concept I had that I could jump into right away; I changed a few things and developed the story more so that I could start on it and stay interested in it.

My comic isn't published yet but anyway

I've always loved comics, visual novels and manga (my first ones being tintin I believe). When I was younger I drew a comic based on minecraft. It was kinda cute I found the pages only a few days ago actually. Throughout school my friend and I drew a few comics for different pieces of work (well she drew them as she was and well still is the better artist).

Then my father told me about an online comic he was reading called Sluggy Freelance. From what he said about it it seemed cool so I started reading it (I still haven't finished as they changed their website and I lost my place). This was the first time id ever read an online comic.

A couple of years later I started watching LavenderTowne and when I found out she had a comic I went to read it. I then created an account for the site she posted it on and was like this is cool I should make a comic.

I quite often think of characters in my head and one night I thought of this woman who had a purple mist-like stuff coming from her hand that she could use to fight with and stuff. I then thought about her backstory later on and decided that I would make a comic about it and created some other characters (naming one after my friend lol) and decided that the woman i had thought of shouldn't be the main lead and so i created another character, an young girl this time around 11. I then began thinking about story line. The girl loses her parents in a crowed street after picking up a gold locket. a robber trys to steal it and a woman turns and punches him then then seeing some people tells the girl to run and they run off. the girl is slow and they both get caught and taken to a lab.

I then started to draw and thats where i am now (I'm currently drawing the third page while writing this). I'm not a great artist so I'm kinda scared to post my comic as I'm likely going to get hate if people read it.

OOOOh well first of all your style is very interesting, there's lots of experimental panels, and they flow together quite nicely, it's a joy to blaze through those pages!

I really love mythology and we don't get to see a lot of Irish stuff going around, so I appreciate it! Seems like a lot of change happened with that story, quite an interesting backstory I wonder how and how much of that will be reflected.

[goobermation]

OMG! Bunny Bandits!? that's... adorable!! I want some of those please!

But anyway that's a very sweet backstory, it sounds like fun and feel cozy. I can see the mix of D&D in goblins for sure, but the story feels different, I love fantasy and that one is very unique for sure, the panels are well do and the art style is very nice, they look pretty and crafted, so yeah you can see the work in there! I would say you succeeded quite well!

I've noticed a lot of STEM people tend to do comics, and develop their artistic side, I've notice that a lot, and I like reading comics from different backgrounds, they feel very different. For example I like how the lab in VSEPR behaved, despite having fantasy elements the lab felt like a normal lab, or more like behaved like one.

Pretty interesting comics! Thanks for sharing!

[goobermation]

Oh yes!

I remember your comics from my first post! Very experimental and surreal. The Ruby machine is the one that stuck with me the most!

It's so cool to see them now with this new knowledge, and from a completely new light! Makes it much more

Thanks! I'm happy you love it! I hope to make them someday in my life. T^T

For Raise Craze, it was during the hype of the TV show LOST. and I was thinking the show was just watching fans to see what they wanted and ether do it or do the opposite just to keep things crazy. I had an over arching story that was a bit like the movie Ground Hogs Day. I thought it would be funny to make people reread the comic over and over again but with few differences. Things kept getting weirder and weirder that the lot just got out of control and it was just stupid. XD Basically a bunch of BS for plot. But all that has been scratch besides the very opening to the comic and it takes a different route at a plot twist. beyond that I don't know where to go with it. But I might figure it out some day.

Oh, i created Exhekar Tales because i like to create worlds and everything in it: The species the monsters, the places, the kingdoms, their language, everything! Like a sandbox game for myself XD. Ah, but that won't be funny to read, so i thought making several stories of that world, explaining bit by bit through the characters those aspects. (Of course, i'm trying to do it in a funny way so it doesn't get boring)
I like fantasy and sci-fi so my world is based on that. My main inspirations would be skyrim, utawarerumono and re: zero (not the only ones of course).
Regretfully i'm not a native english speaker so i can't make jokes or idioms that really works here. And i'm sure my grammar isn't the best e.e
My goal? Seeing you, the readers, enjoying this world, learning from it, making speculations, expanding it, liking the characters or hating them, have fun ;D

For now i'm just uploading the first story, so there's a long way to go

I love older manga/anime, dragons and cats. My comic is actually a combination of two stories I began drawing when I was 15. Alone, I don't think either story would've reached completion, but together, the characters just work so well together that their adventures just sort of ballooned into the comic I have today.

I started it because I was always disappointed when something said it had dragons in it, but then turned out they weren't the main part of the storyline. The people of my world are all dragon/humanoids that evolved from dragons instead of apes. I also like exploring different kinds of relationships and creating depth in my characters to make them feel as real to the reader as they feel to me in my head. I'm a sucker for a good romance, and I do have that as a major part of the story, but the theme of love and friendship (trying not to sound too corny here) is also really important to the story. All the characters genuinely care about each other. That's one of the things that makes manga like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura a couple of my favourites, because there's a lot of love ^_^

Pandemonium started as a short story about a noble being possessed by a demon, and somehow gets rid of it (at the time it was called Possession). It was really cruel at the time, much closer to a horror comic than it is now (just action, gore/horror, zero romance), I guess it was also a way for me to get rid of my frustrations xD
But I'd come up with a lot of scenes in my head with them arguing, discussing, and the demon interfering with her everyday life, and the reactions of the people around her. So I decided to turn it into a proper story (* w *) That was almost 3 years ago xD I'd since then researched angels and demons, the bible, the seven sins, mythological creatures across all pantheons and other related stuff to turn it into what it is now ^^ Rather than just fighting and cruelty, it's now much more about what exactly 'good' and 'evil' is and who gets to decide that, and also about putting the seven deadly sins and the seven heavenly virtues against each other: are the sins really that bad, and are keeping those virtues truly a good way to live?
