i bookmarked this thread and now i'm back because i greatly enjoy this topic
i made Intangibility. whenever i reread this comic i honestly think, why did i make this so graphically violent and dark? my cartoony and simple art style makes it rather unsettling for me, too,. .. but what can you do when excessive torture is one of your story's main plot points? But a lot of this story is really chill and profound and character driven too. it's not gratuitous by any means.
this story is set eight years after a robot uprising that sent a city into complete lockdown. Buttercream is attempting to follow in the scientific footsteps of her grandmother, Salome, who was credited with the original programming of the A.I., known for having sought to create true consciousness. Buttercream meets Duckie, a man who has made it his mission to singlehandedly kill all 3,000 robots in the city. but did Salome's research pay off? do the robots truly have consciousness?
although thankful for Duckie's protection, Buttercream is disturbed to discover that Duckie brutally and unnecessarily tortures the robots he kills, even though they are indistinguishable from humans in nearly every way.
(not a cover but here's a fun thing. due to the fact that no cover is adequate preparation)
