I dunno if you know about this, but I'm totally planning to do that.
With macaroni, rice, lentils or I dunno what I'll have in my groceries.

First of all, I want to say that it's incredible that you've been writing for 3-4 years now. That's incredible and you have my respect.

I see, so you only started making the kingdom once it became necessary for the plot? I'm trying to make it now for the future since every earth-shattering or doomsday triggering event starts from them and their backgrounds. As much as possible, I want to clear away the inconsistencies in my story.

My advice is that you give all the Kingdoms and characters living there a full story and lives.
But do not drag the readers with all the history, but let it all reflect on how they react and lives.
Show, don't tell.

Example, a Viking meeting a Samurai.

You don't have to tell the history, but if you as the creator know their history you know how to treat them and how they would talk and fight.

Another great example is Boba Fett from Star Wars. He is only on screen for seconds, but you can feel that there is a huge story behind him

I thought it was the VPN site Hahahahaha. Thanks for another map making site!

Edit: If I get caught playing with food, My parents would whack me so I'll just try the site hahahahaha.

Wow, that's pretty good ! I'll use this !

Also a good thing if your story takes place in a modern setting, I suggest using whatever games or tools you have to create the interiors and then use them as drawing references to get the furniture and perspective right with minimal amount of effort and maximal amount of fun. I made my MC's flat in the Sims and I can't wait to start using it for my comic !

Also, self promoting.


If you like endearing characters, mystery and investigation with teenagers, you'll be in for a little ride !

Ohh, you're also in the process of designing your map? Must be nice, I'm still trying to think of how to shape the land Hahahahaha.

yes! they're usually pretty rough since i only sorta know what i'm doing but it's usually a combo of overall world maps (if needed) and then regional/area maps to keep track of specific areas in a given location. personally i like it because it helps with consistency plus makes knowing where to put things in a drawing easier.

i'd love to do rough builds in like minecraft or blender if i could but i worry about spending to much time on prep work like that than actual production

In fantasy worlds, I think it's always comfortable to make a map, even if you just make a simple one for you. I made this one, for example:



I tell you for sure this is really helpful, so the world makes sense. I also wrote the name of the places in demonic (the comic's fantasy language) and in my language (catalan), so I remember how everything is called in both idioms

You could try the stuff they're recommending above. I'd love to try rough builds as well but I still can't decide what kinda shape I even want Hahahahahaha

That looks good! I think if I'm going to make a map I'd start with something simple like that then go on to more complex ones as time progresses.

Sims is such a great idea!!!!
I play The Sims 4 (+plus have all the current DLCs) and I think this will help me a lot!!
Thank you~ ^^

I hear that. Seems it'll take me quite some time before I can decide on it. I still have to finish another chapter after all Hahahahaha
