1 - Our slow-burn story focused on allowing the characters to grow not only in powers but also as people in a credible and satisfying way.

2 - The intrinsic world of the games that no other comic has created so far. People may think it's just another drip into the ocean of system-focused comics that exist, but once they get to know the system and the world that keeps it going, it's clear ours is a breath of fresh air in the genre.

3 - Vlad. Many may think this is a silly point, but Vlad is based on someone who was extremely important in my life and who sadly met his demise way too soon. He's a tribute to someone I'd do anything to have back, but unfortunately, I can't, no matter how much I wish so.

  1. Twists - Many small twists that are foreshadowed to some extent
  2. Plot - You think it's one kind of plot, but it was a different plot all along
  3. Death - Characters wounds and deaths are permanent and will affect the story going forward

"If ever there was a man caught in the machinations of cosmic design, it was Besh." Besh, the character, is versatile, having many iterations. He adapts seamlessly to his new reality, sort of like a Dr. Who. There are many embodiments of Besh: the middle-aged man, the old man, the man reborn, the possessed warrior, etc. He will soon be seen in his original iteration in the prequel, The Regret.

The far-flung future gives me elbow room to be creative in a speculative sense. The Space Bum series offers a casual approach to the future of mankind, where everything has changed but remains the same. There is new technology, weapons, evil villains, and scary aliens.

My secondary characters are textured and layered, adding an essential aspect to both the main character and the storyline.

Explanation: sometime ago i discussed with one if my friend (she actually work in the animation world, so she's quite understanding in the concept of story telling, showing and all, she's on e of the main one that help me a lot) explain to me that one of the things that usually let her down on many comics are the repetitive plots and the fact that she's almost aware of what it's gonna happen in that moment, like "many stories are now so look alike, that I know what's gonna happen in the next part of it, and i this gave me zero interest into following the story at all".
One of her comments say that this one do not apply on my own story,. since i decided to step aside to what people usually like, because i know that what people will like is made by me.
One that i take now (since i recently started to read the manga) is Oda (One Piece). Luffy is a chaotic character, what happen in the story are usually based on some rules that he had made and so they need to do it.
Why should i stay longer that i need on an island? The log pose need to be setted.
Why i want to see an island in the sky? Because i WANT IT.

Ooh, pink giraffe, that's a really unique design

  1. The characters

  2. The magic system

  3. The complexity of the world

  1. "I ain't afraid of no demon." It's a running joke. Demons are suppose to be scary but they are just horny goobers and everyone knows it.

  2. Unlike other reincarnation novels, ML actually tells FL about his past life.

  3. The noise the wolves make in the novel. Someone on web novel commented on my chapters with just the wolf noises. In chapter 21, the wolf will reappear lol.

For Psychoborg, it's the nostalgia, it pushed me out of my comfort zone and most importantly, it is my big moment.


For MK's Frankenstein, I always wanted to an adaptation of Frankenstein, the monster is the star and Frankenstein is the true villain through and through.

what makes it your big moment?

More than happy to! Here's what I love about LOSTLAND

1. The Setting: It took years to get there, but love how much the world of LOSTLAND has developed and, to me, feels like the most unique take on a post apocalyptic world. There's so much lore and history in it that's yet to appear in the main story, and still plenty more that may need a few side stories to go over in the future!

2. The Scenery: Bit of an expansion on the above. I had a ton of fun just taking each region of the LOSTLAND and finding unique ways to create a post apoc setting that felt 'lively'. Like a new world was being born in replace of the old one. Ancient buildings melded into massive canyons, submerged cities beoming large swamp lands, teeming with mysterious, new life. I wanted to make a world whereeach corner of it was somewhere people would be curious about and ant to explore

3. The Characters: I just love them all. Every time I created a new character, they also came along with a bit of backstory that goes more in-depth about them as people, yes, even the 3 Sanctum Patrolmen in the first chapter have backstories and a plan for their characters down the line XD Thinking of each character in that mch depth is just a bit of a nice pastime for me. One day, I'd love to just do a compilation of short stories involving each of the side characters I create throughout LOSTLAND

Let's Go Hero is complex in its own right... and the upcoming third arc is only going to add onto that. However, it doesn't mean I don't love how amazing the story is.

  1. I love how the story's three musketeers are an iconic trio. Most people would think its Kai, Kyoge, and Mikate... as in the chapter they are introduced in involves those three... but that isn't the case.

  2. I enjoy how the fights play out past what I originally planned.

  3. Making the techniques of characters can be a little difficult, but it pays off when done properly.

In a future where nanotechnology has granted humans supernatural abilities, a boy granted with the strangest one of them all attempts to become the greatest hero history has ever seen...

Often time my scenes spiral out or beyond what I originally planned too lol

I love everything about my story and what I do. BUT if I had to choose my top 3

1 - I like role-playing my character script to make them sound more believable, in particular the manipulators, lol

2 - I love the art and How my art has evolved throughout the time it started

3 - I love leaving messages hidden with my character story or the art itself and only a few people who are paying attention pick them up and to read their conclusion in the comments

The dynamic between the siblings. The way Leia and Riley care for each other is complicated, and the way their limitations influence the things they do "for each other's good" is definitely a tricky line they're toeing.

The setting. This story is set in the late 2000s early 2010s when I was a kid, so I'm having fun with the nostalgia.

The emotions. I love writing emotional stories and making my readers feel things. So all the emotion I brought to "Damsel in the Red Dress" is being re-channeled into my new story through the eyes of new charcaters.

(this is free for everyone in my Patreon public posts:

Ahham, firstly the diversity of the characters and their backgrounds, as each character has a story that determines his current actions, secondly the interconnection of events. Every small detail I put in the novel has a meaning that appears in the following chapters, and finally the main character. He is not cold-hearted, or calloused. Rather, he is human. He acts like other people. Even though life puts him in painful situations, his humanity appears in many situations. For those who want to read my novels, she is on the site called Akir.

Things I like about my comic lol

  1. Non-Human charaters My world is an interdimesional hub and I get to fill it with tons of random creatures. It lets me get super creative with what something could look like. So I could have mythical creatures, aliens, humanoid races, or abstract beings all sitting around playing poker at the same table.

  2. The Backgrounds As stated in my previous comment I can put anyone doing anything in the background and I have a lot of fun with it. I can have crazy architecture and crazy structures. I also love adding gags and an absolute ton of the world lore is kinda hidden in paintings, murals and other artistic structures.

  3. Scale This isn't super evident in what's up currently but the scale of my story is massive and I'm really excited that I'm starting to get into some of the heavier plot beats. I made some big mistakes when I started writing and I've pretty much done a soft reboot. The changes I've made have sped up the pace and have let me focus on dropping hints to the scale of future chapters.

this definitely sounds like a really fun way of doing it

Just 3?!?:relieved::nail_care:🏽 (jk)
1) I love how much I play with established concepts. I parody tropes in coming of age stories. The popular girl, the babysitter, etc. it’s fun to flip tropes on there heads in the most chaotic way I can think of.
2) The historical fiction I get into, the concept of how remembering historical tragedies can affect the mental health of an immortal, especially as a POC.
3) The character dynamics! I LOVE found family (I love GOTG) so getting to write a team of my own of people that hate each other but are forced to work together has been so much fun!

Y’all should read it!

  1. Character design is great I think in the comics. Hold the phone is a jewel in my opinion. Constantly getting comments about him.

  2. The world. Although we have barely scratched the surface yet I have a huge world ahead and I’m very happy with it.

  3. The pacing. For working a regular job and drawing my comic while still balancing the rest of life I’ve been able to keep the story moving a long every week. I’m sure you all know how much of a struggle it can be to balance everything and still try and keep your comic a quality comic. So I’m proud I’m doing it even if at the moment I do have a bad sleep schedule :grimacing:

take care of your health honey

Right now, I'm using the novel to take a break from reality, so here are some of the fictional things that I am able to do to these fictional characters that I definitely am not and cannot do to anyone I know in real life: ( which are my 3 favourite things about my story )
Story in question: https://tapas.io/series/Boy-of-my-Dreams---Rewritten/info

1) I get to dress up a boy in girl clothes.
I know, I know, that is pretty dumb, but hey Firstly I don't have money to buy gowns. Even if a
random boy as cute as my character's description walked up to me and said "Hey, I'd let you dress me
up for free" I don't have any gowns to just randomly stuff him into~! This is my secret joyyy~ and You can tell
if you read the story cause I love to describe the clothes on Ryan especially in detaillll.

2) Setting! I didn't go to college! Yay! I am living out my fantasy as I toil way at my
cute little life-sucking retail job hahahahahaha

3) My side characters. I don't know what most writers do, but as a person with only one friend
and that is their partner, I imagine a world where everyone is super supportive and no one
aside from family would kick a person to the curb. So, I like writing cute side characters
that are always cheering on from the side lines~

Yes! So. I like these 3 things about my story heehee~! This just applies to Boy of My Dreams.
My other stories are going to be quite different as I have other delusions I wish to explore
during my after hours.

Thanks for making this thread~! It was nice to gush about my work for a teeny bit.

I like doing this with my stories too. I've not had many friends my whole life outside of my siblings so writing was a way of swimming in my ideals a bit lol. I have a friend now who's great tho and is making her way into my story.

Supportive encouraging people do exist! it takes a while to find them but their out there! I'm one of them lol, never stop trying to make friends, it can be a pain, but you'll find your people.

Heck, I've never even been to school, legit. so I feel this 100%. it's so hard anytime I write stories set in school because the only point of reference I have for it is Google and what I read in other stories

Oooh, this is a tough one.

  1. That there isn't really one main character but it follows several ones. I'm writing it a bit like a group of adventurers (even though they're not yet all together).
  2. There are several story lines but they're all interconnected. There are some small details that may seem insignificant now but will make sense later. Events from the past linked to the events in the present.
  3. The world. I get to put together different fantasy elements based on local and foreign myths, and then draw it all. I did a lot of research on architecture as well, so different places are inspired by different eras and countries.


ahhh, gothic fiction. we gotta love it

  1. It uses documents, newspaper articles, diaries, journals, and the likes to tell the story!
  2. It's something of an are-they-or-are-they-not dynamic between the two main characters. I'd like to keep their relationship vague.
  3. Enemies to friends(...?) trope :wink:

-

Synopsis:

Twelve years ago, Azure Skylar, the Knight of the Cross of the unparalleled syndicate, the Chapel, was favored by the Pope himself to work on a mission that would determine the fate of their entire group against their growing rival, the Empire.

Twelve years ago, Azure met Caramella Red Aberdeign and found a friend in her. For once, he knew rest, quiet, peace, and comfort. Little did he know that Caramella Red was also the infamous Sweet Crimson, the ace assassin of their growing rival, the Empire.

A mistake, a wrong decision, a missed opportunity, all wrapped in the same regret that led to the ink on paper weeping about all that should have been said and done before time came and went. A story inspired by Taylor Swift's Evermore, Letter Addressed to the Fire will take you to a trip down the star-crossed soulmates' memory lane and tell you about all that was only whispered in the wind twelve years ago.

Ahhh, but we need at least one kiss if they're actually a couple or the audience will die!

wait seriously?

I really have to do three more things, sorry.

  1. The dynamic between Dominic and his sisters.

Dominic and his sisters share a really close bond. This partly stems from the colorism they grew up with in their family that led them to be more protective, loving and encouraging to each other. Now that they are adults, they are each other's biggest fans and best friends always cheering on, helping and just generally enjoying being around each other. It's so sweet and wholesome and that's why I love them.

Ayla. She's my youngest character in my novels so far and she's just so cute. I love getting to write the way that children talk and view the world, and using her as a character mirror for other people in the story like the male lead. The way she sees my FL Essence without the same sort of prejudice so many of the adults have drastically changes the course of the story, and it just wouldn't be the same without her.


  1. My FL, Essence Walker. She is really so different from any character I've written. Though it's been tricky, it pushed me as a writer. Her mindset and personality, her design in general, are some of the most unique things I've crafted so far, and one of my proudest designs.
22 days later

right now, it's probably

  1. my character designs

they're really colorful, fun, and quirky.

  1. the plot

it's just silly, and I'm a goofball

3, it's the way the whole series is designed to help me improve my art as I make it. It's a weird concept but i love it lol



the goal is to debut this series this year

  1. The characters and their voices- Elio is a point A to B,one track minded, and is considered a teacher's pet or a "gifted" kid and has been since he was little.
    Max is a little more chill and sorta goes with the flow unless there is something that bothers him. He is smart as well but in a more street smart way and somewhat book smart way if it's something he is interested in.
  2. Elio and Max's conversations because they are that couple talking about dissection and other things related to what they are studying when they get to college in public/while they are eating even if it's gross unapologetically . And they were friends since they were 5 so they know lots of things about each other.
  3. The setting-New York City-Brooklyn because I never lived in a city so it was fun researching and watching videos/listening to music. And I visited New York during Thanksgiving several years ago and it was very interesting to me how many things you could do and find if you looked hard enough.

Greetings from the stars!

  1. The Genre - At the start of the idea making process, this story was two separate stories and purely science fiction. This story took almost 12 years of planning and it felt like it was going nowhere. It wasn't until certain elements from another genre came into play that compelled me to change some formats in both ideas. This ultimately led me to change the order of the stories and merge them together. The final product of this outcome became the Science-Fantasy genre.

  2. The Lore - Leading from the genre itself, the history and worldbuilding of the story became something I never though I could write. When the story involves countless worlds, so much history has to be explored whether it be fantastic or terrible.

  3. The Characters - The number one spot for favoritism goes to the characters of the story. I aimed to make the story as diverse as possible. I have 16 characters with POV's in my story and I wanted each of them to shine and stand out in their own way. This wasn't an easy feat as I had to consider who's who and what's what. Which characters are heroes and villains? What ethnicity are they inspired from? Who ends up falling for who? Who has a disability? Who makes it to the end?

Difficult task lol! I'll list my two fav things:

I've always been a big fan of slow-burn and I believe I do a good job writing this type of romantic development! I have a hard time finding works that make it seem natural and don't rush the relationship too much, so I do my best to achieve a result like what I like to consume.

Another thing I really like about this specific work is the dynamics between the protagonists, who are my main couple. I love the opposites attract trope, especially when we have a character who is associated with unnatural purity with an outside admiration so deep that he is compared to a messiah, and a character who is associated with the opposite; to ruin, destruction and violence, and these two characters form a type of super competent duo as they complement each other. I love how two such different natures can culminate in mutual admiration and almost blind trust.
