Sorry to hear it has been difficult to write. Looking forward to reading it when you do post it!

I wanted to do a comic remake from my childhood, which Inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM, and some Isekai stories. It's more battle shounen-like. Over the years it has becoming more and more elaborate & detailed in my head: a large cast of characters, plots and places... I feel that it's too large and ambitious for my first webcomic.

So i decided to tell a much smaller scope, intimate and grounded of a story: a backstory of a certain new member of a group. It's all happening in the same universe i created, just on a different place, story tone and drawing style.

Cool question. I actually fell into reading a lot of BL, specifically werewolf BL last year and I started to see kinda of the same plot over and over again. There really wasn't anything new and I kinda want something more than the typical "alpha claims me" or "i didn't know I was a werewolf" so I decided to write my own. And after that, I have been writing ever since. And this is my first time writing so I really have been enjoying myself! Cheers!

I came up with mine after thinking of random scenarios that my characters, that I drew separately, would get into together. Then they became a trio and I made the comic.. Some influences from short comedy/Slice of Life anime and long comedy/action/Slice of Life anime is in there XD

I started mine with a simple character that I made for fun one day and gave him supernatural powers. I wanted to expand/elaborate on said powers so that it would be easier to explain and well it just all went from their.

1: Designing the Characters
2: Me thinking to myself: "How can I hurt youuuuu?"

And then a story happens

2: Me thinking to myself: "How can I hurt youuuuu?"

The mind of every series creator to their own characters XD

oh yeah mine really spun out of control

so initially the titular character, vainglory, was a D&D character. I gave her a couple fun, energetic traits, but she was not complex. then, gradually, as we went through the first campaign, she became more and more complex and developed a more and more detailed backstory. slowly, she began to interact with the themes of romance, humanist and hedonist philosophy, abuse and self-loathing, and compartmentalization

several years later, I drew her buff and I was like "I need to continue drawing her" and thus the comic was accidentally born

That sounds interesting. I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks, glad you liked it :blush:

I wanted a gothic romance about two women who get locked in a medieval castle while searching for an artifact (it was a collection of rare pottery illegally exported from Vietnam by the French.) one lady was of Jamaican descent from Montreal, the second was a Vietnamese with the knowledge of the artifacts being stolen from the destroyed museum through her family. The French family was the villains.

Seeing how that set-up would be too hard to find audience for on-line, I change to the Italian mafia family power struggle that puts the two future lovers in the dungeon, made it straight, American and the bad boy with tragic past for the love interest. Once I decided to write First Person, Present Tense, I had to make the main character un-identifiable. I also added a bit of deSade and CIA background for the dungeon

They both sound interesting, Domi!

I'm glad you came up with Trapped by the Mafia though, the main character is a joy to read. :grin:

Thank you!

I am hoping to finally wrangle a werewolf book into something not too out there for people to read. But so far my ideas have been too outlandish to capture audience. Also, switch gears to BL vs female protagonist. Probably start with BL first, since it will come more natural to me, then work on werewolfinization.

Oh? I'd love to read a werewolf book by you. Why do you think BL will come more naturally? Are you better at male mcs?

I like writing romances. I had problems with shifters, because I have no natural interest in werewolves.

My 2 dragon-shifter books tanked harder than any other books I’ve written, so I don’t trust myself. “Oh, a were-crow will work! Oh, a prehistoric setting would be awesome!”

Nope. It wouldn’t work, it is too out of the genre, stupid. Werewolves seems to be like a gothic romance, have to stick closely to the formula.

A what? Newer heard of that

And there are were-crows in some stories...if you go to Japan. Like Tengu or the three-feet crow(Yatagarasu)
I would love sth like that from you Domi @domisotto

When i was a kid, while playing with my cousins,for some reason i found a rock in my toy box.....

I thought this random rock in the toy box was hillarious so i used it as a rock, but every other character would treat it as a legendary hero.....

Many years later i remembered that funny anecdote and thought it could be a hillarious premise, so i made an inanimate rock a shonen Mary Sue protagonist.

And this, kids, is how i came up with Rocky the rock1
