Crazy ideas for your next comic?

[J.Lovelace]

Actually it's called a lupara not lupo :'D The sawn off shotgun.

My newest idea is about two characters, one's pretty much an unsocial hermit and the other a cute nomad wanting attention, and their personalities are totally opposite, but they become friends eventually. Slice of life kinda deal in a fantasy setting. I already showed the concept ideas to my friends and they love it already :'D

Oh really? I read that term in Robert Ludlum's The Matarese Circle. He's more famous for The Bourne series though. Can't remember which country it was they called it a Lupo

[vongcw]

Your idea sounds nice. Simple and engaging

[J.Lovelace]

My OC uses double luparas so I had to look hem up.
I just assume that the character you mentioned just named them that way by himself. Like giving names to pets. I'm not here to argue though, just wanted to let you know the proper terminology.

My work tends to be pretty dark lol

My wife and I are going collaborate on comic about witches and generational divides. I've started some worldbuilding research, but this won't start for real for another year.

[mariusthered]

just more of the same for me but new story lines that i'm dying to get to write

[spadesart]

I've got one idea based off my AP Design Portfolio from my senior year of high school this year where I designed characters based off colors since it's developed quite a bit of lore for it.

my crazy idea was to make a crazy comic and now almosg 90pages in, still nothing even a bit weird has happened D;

Your comic is beautiful! Mine is Kanna and Nikki I'm going to follow you :3

I'm thinking to make 5 issues of my comic and maybe start a graphic novel I have in mind for a while named Drakalvania, this novel is about dreams I had in the past, i have a dream diary and i'm putting things together to make it coherent. Already have the world, the characters and now i'm writing the story of Drakalvania.

It's about a place in another dimension, but it's connected to Earth and everything that happens in Drakalvania it happens in our planet someway, and there's some agent of order, agent of fire, wind, water, earth, lightning, forest, ice, life and death. Every agent has a student to succeed him/her, and the agent of death is looking for a pupil on planet earth. That's more or less I have so far

I have so many ideas that I want to eventually peruse after I finish City of Blank (some day).
I've been debating for years which one I'd pick up next...only to come up with a completely brand new idea like just last month that I'm really excited to work on some day.

Basically, I wanna do something a bit lighter and more comedy. It centers around the concept of people always promising demons their "first born son."
So basically, 18 years ago the dad of the main character made a deal with a demon to bring his wife back in exchange for his first born son.
18 years later, demon comes to collect first born son. First born son is a freaking NEET who probably watches hentai all day and is overall a loser. Second born son is extremely smart, successful, and has a beyond promising future. Regretful demon quickly realizes mistake and is stuck with loser first born under certain circumstances. Oh yeah and the mom the demon brought back is a zombie. Hijinks ensue.

I had an idea for a short comic about a wizard, a short old man, and a former stripper who all go to an orphanage to adopt a baby together. Why did I put it on hold? Because I thought it would be "too bizarre" and I have no idea who it would appeal to.

[KSlinger]

I'm not very good at sitting waiting for inspiration to strike so I tend to doodle things and let ideas grow from there. The doodle below made me think of a Sci-Fi story that would be totally beyond my wisdom and ability, I suspect. Something about a group of pilots attending a flight academy in the future. Would be seriously cool to explore and perhaps by the time West is over I'll be a little more confident in my execution.

[Silverberry]

I've been working on a comic of my own for a while now although its no where near as finished. Afterimage.

I have been knocking around a few ideas for another story. Basically I wanted to subvert/deconstruct the kids with pet monsters trope. The story takes place 25 years ago where a giant meteorite came to earth bringing an alien lifeforms known as I.S.O's (intelligent silicon based organisms) powerful creatures that telepathically link to a human host. To deal with this crisis is the Department of Xenobiological Relations, (DXR) who are responsible for taking care of crime pertaining to I.S.O use and the relocation of hosts away from civil society.

At the heart of the story is the relationship between humans, hosts, and I.S.Os. How people view them with an emphasis on the autonomy of I.S.Os and their desires and needs as individuals as a people.

[alaingrey]

I've got a story about a dude who works odd jobs that I really want to make, but I haven't found the right tone for execution. It either gets way too dark or way too exploitation-y. I spent all last summer on it, but just couldn't get a feel for it.

I also want to revive an old sci fi comic of mine but make it smarter and make it less hard sci-fi and more gore. It's just a really long story, so I haven't wanted to dive into it for a while.

[artsy_oleander]

I have like 5 others I want to do once I'm done with my comic Pecan Pie. BUT....

I'm thinking to do "The Most Original Story Ever" (I was 13 when I came up with it and the title stuck) Basically, an Evil King tries to destroy all threat to the throne, the main character, Gillian, and her relative survive, and end up as cabin boy(and girl) to a pirate ship. After some years and issues pass, they get marooned on a floating- island with a shipwrecked-aeroship. They get it up and running (after discovering a gruesome magic ritual), get captured by elves, find a dragon promising glory and go off to recruit some people who are down for revolution.

It's going to be a challenge o do though because the main character is basically every bad choice you can make in Dragon Age.

[artsy_oleander]

Too bizarre? Tapastic is for the bizarre!

That actually sounds cool! My only questions would be why? What is the motive for the wizard, the short man and a former stripper to adopt a child? Why all THREE? Does the wizard need an apprentice? Has the old man's desire for children with his wife never come to fruition and even though she's gone, he still wants a kid? Does the stripper see themselves in the child?

[NickRowler]

The wizard feels like he was an awful father and was never there for his own two sons (now adults). So he wanted to adopt to "start over." The old man is his best friend (and roommate) and is sort of their for emotional support, he also never married and he's also gay. The former stripper is there because he really just wanted to look at the babies.

I guess the whole point was to make an allegory to a middle life crisis and how we will sometimes worry too much about the past instead of moving forward.

Wee-eeellllll - my brain doesn't so much put things on hold as it jumps up and down excitedly until I'm doing all the things at once. >.<

My next comic will be a 24 page oneshot that I will be posting during December as a countdown to Christmas. Unlike my main series, this one will be set in a modern city, in a café, and will feature two main characters (and a cat!) and will be kinda-sorta magical-realism-meets-cosy-urban-fantasy. It was supposed to be only a Christmas oneshot, but now my brain is begging me to do a small sequel for Valentine's Day.

I'm desperately trying to NOT do that.

I'm also working on a graphic novel pitch, and if it gets rejected I might pitch it elsewhere, or start posting it as a webcomic. It's set in a fantasy-setting, in a desert city in a state of partial ruin where people go about their lives no longer quite remembering what caused their ruin in the first place. It's more YA in demographic aim than Grassblades, and it'll be a kind of action-adventure story in which a stranger comes to town on a quest, and that prompts the teenaged main character into helping them however they can. Which leads to adventures on the shifting sands, puzzles to solve in sealed towers, and very close calls with danger.

There's a somewhat open ending to it, so that I can write sequels and continue the story if I want to, but it's also written to be able to stand alone as a single volume story. We'll see how it goes!

[nessiefynn]

I started beating around ideas for a comic to do either after or concurrent to my current one.

Basically the story is about an evil doctor who murdered his patients to steal their organs to make an immortality elixir. However, a psychic detective was able to commune with the ghosts of the victims to arrest the doctor and have him hung. Before dying, the doctor cursed the detective so that all him and all with descendants with similar powers will be killed young by their own abilities.
Years later, despite the doctor's elixir being imperfect it managed to let him live on after death via reincarnation, and his reincarnates continue his research to little avail. Eventually, one of the detective's descendants is born with the same psychic powers that he had, and learns about the curse that will kill him. To lift the curse and save his own life, the detective's descendant must track down the doctor's reincarnation and foil their plans!

It's pretty rough right now, and very subject to change, but I'm still busy with my current comic right now so I've got time to think it all over. : D
