Can you describe the place your comic/story is located?

[Chopythes]

For one of my comics, it takes place in Sweden. It's a small town, very much based on the one I live in. So people from my town will recognize a few things, the waters and the hills.
However, I've mixed some of the northern parts of Sweden into my town as well!

For Heritage, it's based in the UK. So if I don't have any reference photos, I'll use google maps for at least half of it xD
Also, in this comic, there's multiple worlds, all of which are different.
Some are more desert like, some have lots of vegetation, and such.
They're based on the 4 elements (fire, water, earth, wind) as well as the 4 seasons.

Alright, here goes. There's this country called Hiraeth (is beside the middle of US and Canada in the imaginary world). There are only 4 states in it but they are pretty big. The state where our main characters live is called North Compuct and it is basically an old time place but with technology since most of the characters live in old fashioned buildings but also have the new phone. It is divided into two towns. Our main characters live in the town with the mansion on top of the hill but Vale works in the other town. The two other states are just like your regular suburbs but the last one is the only noteworthy one until now. I'm going to say it as to not spoil anything in the future but that state is the only one split into towns except the one where the main characters live. It is split into 13 towns this time and all the towns are gentrified except for the ghost town of Little Creek Way where Valentina, Genevieve, and Crystaleen used to live. That state is known as a rich state.

It was supposed to be London, but then...you know the "write what you know" suggestion? And it turned out a generic city, current days. I'm pretty sure it's now more similar to american schools as I saw in tv shows, but mixed with a bit of italian experience. A mess, basically

[Horatio]

The story of Do you hear the rain plays in Aarensburg, a small ficitional German town.
After I graduate from school I'll probably base many things off of the town my university will be in.

A long time the world, Remember plays in, was kinda... generic. I thought of the story about the age of 14, so naturally there were forests and a few villages because every fantasy story needs those XD

In the meanwhile, the world has grown. Mages rule the world and have built beautiful cities (on the cost of human labour, of course). The climate is moderate, like in central Europe, Hot summers, cold winters and a fauna which is out to get you (Firewolves e.g. nasty wolf-like creatures about 3m height who first roast you and then eat you).

There still are many forests though, but now some of them are hideouts for rebels or bandits. Several rivers and big lakes - and a giant canyon which contains a high security prison for Mages.

The setting is medieval-like, there is no technology at all. Only mechanic devices developed by humans - and magic. Unfortunately both of the parties don't work together, so achieving a progress in this area is hard.

Ooooh, there is so much else to tell @_@

[FatedComics]

World building isn't my strong suit so it's basically just set in London but with magic. There are witches and humans and it's set in a magical boarding school in London.It's similar to Harry Potter but different sort of concept, like the humans know about witches and there are different variations and powers and elements to the witches that they have to be born with.

My comic's a newspaper-style comedy comic, so the world isn't as important other comics. But I did do a little bit of planning behind the scenes for funsies/lore.

Basically, the world of Edible Green Tea (my comic) takes place in an alternate version of Minneapolis, Minnesota and basically the entire world's at least some form of nuts. There are alien invasions and ghosts, a shady vitamin water company has a monopoly on most of the world's foods and has been preforming unethical human experiments to achieve the next stage of human evolution (and better tasting products), the greatest threat to world security is a terrorist organization run by housecats and the only thing standing there way is a group of dogs dressed up as Japanese superheroes, and the most popular TV show is a rip off of Power Rangers starring a group of anthropomorphic almonds that serves as propaganda for the California Almonds Board (which is a subsidiary of the Vitamin Water Brand Vitamin Water Company). Oh, and Richard Nixon somehow came back from the dead, became president again, and built a giant robot that looks like a bunny rabbit to fight agains obnoxious kaiju tourists from another dimension.

So yeah, the world of Edible Green Tea is kind of bonkers.

[Jenny-Toons]

I have three main locations that are kinda interchangeable in my stories (aside for one of my comics named DOLLS -- that takes place in fictional Yokohama, Japan.)

Hawley, Maine -- It's a fictional small town out in the middle of nowhere, in Northern Maine. There's only a few main roads that lead into the bigger cities miles away, but the town usually thrives on their corn products. It's modernized, but everyone knows each other. It's completely surrounded by woods, and most people wouldn't dream of going into them after dark.

Duncan Grove, Memphis -- Another fictional small town that's located in southern Memphis, Tennessee. It's just as small as Hawley, if not smaller, and gets income from the steel mills across the way. There are some woods around Duncan, but you'd have to travel a good minute to get to them, and most people aren't looking to go out that far. Sides, the town advise people (young people) to never venture pass the southeast of the town. That's where a lot of abandoned parts are, and they're abandoned for good reason.

Chicago, Illinois -- I can't away from my hometown XD. I have this kinda love for a fictional 1980s Chicago that's subtly an intervention for mobsters and whatnot. Only two of my comics showcase that, but it's still theme more or less. It's has a little bit of supernatural aspect to it, and you'll see that more when I do a story centered around my old neighborhood in Chicago -- the Pullman community.

Every other story that doesn't have these locations are still linked to them. People either live "just a few miles off from Halwey" or "Duncan Groove is just a 10 minute walk from here"

From The Essence of Villainy

The story of The Essence of Villainy has two worlds. The first one is a medieval-esque fantasy world full of mythological monsters, who once influenced the world's ecosystem to a great degree(granted, they've been mightily subdued by the humans at this point). The world is on the brink of gunpowder breakthrough, however the discovery of the said substance is being held under wraps and isn't a plot point in the story, either. The largest continent is split in two factions. The Church and that of Villain Gustav, who - with despicable mercenary troops and a monster army - has slowly built up his power to the point where it is now. Also, magic is rampant in this world. Every human being can conjure minor magicks, which is why the study of magic is considered the greatest form of science. Why build massive constructs to lift up heavy stones when you can use telekinesis(within the limitations of bodily stamina, of course)?

The second world is a more technologically subdued world, and one without a speck of magical energy. The world is under a strict feudal system put in place by Anodyne - a mythical figurehead from the most prominent religion. She has long since disappeared from the history books, however, but everyone believes that she has once lived and tread the same ground as they do. She's known for being full of compassion and mercy.
Not much else is known of the world at the moment, more will be uncovered as the story continues on.

(Some aspects that I mentioned here will never be touched upon in the story. Others, minor ones, will be elaborated on later)

There was a War is set in ancient Ireland, largely taking place somewhere in Ulster, and will later take place largely on Tory island. a lot of the world design is inspired by the time ive spent in scotland, particularly the inner hebrides, bc my family have been going there for years now, and it was really formative for me growing up.

[sirkbirb]

Rock of Ages takes place in the fantasy world of the Lands of Rock and Metal, with different landscapes and cities, some of which have their own government. The places and animals are all based in rock and heavy metal's artwork and songs, and music is a force of nature.

It Lurks Inside Us takes place in a retrofuturistic kingdom of sorcery and science, where men made of iron and glass roam the streets and the populace has just finished recovering from a plague that nearly destroyed them years ago. I tried mixing scifi technologies into the victorian society in (hopefully) unique ways!

Smith takes place in Hastings, East Sussex - you know, the place where that battle in 1066 never actually happened - but as seen at the eye level of a domestic cat. Most of the time it's set in a generic suburban setting but when the characters head out to the beach or the town I like to make the drawings as specific as possible.

Megami Shiizun is set on Rosemount Island, located between Africa and South America in the Atlantic ocean. It exists under a veil of mythical energy and is protected by a natural force around it which creates a rogue wave that ultimately derail or sink ships passing nearby. Only if you manage to survive and pass through the veil on the other side, can you see the island and the waters return calm.
People on the island are all unaware of the outside world.
The island is smaller than the province of Prince Edward Island, Canada. You can walk from one end to the other in less than a day. The location has 4 seasons, however, they're all at the same time and year round. Depending which kingdom you're near, the season changes, but for the most part, the island has Summer weather all the time with comfortable temperatures.

My comic takes place in a town in America. It doesn't specifically take place in any state since I've never lived in the US, so which state the story takes place in is entirely up to the reader's interpretation.

My comic takes place in and around a fantasy thalassocratic city-state vaguely reminiscent of a variety of cities of the Mediterranean Basin's Antiquity.
But there is also a little bit of Persia, India etc. Lots of different influences.
