What is the setting / world for your comic?

[AnnaLandin]

Grassblades takes place in a fantasy-world whose closest real-world analogue would be medieval (15th-17th century) East Asia, with many smaller noble houses struggling for control over the land. I haven't gone much into the political and military conflict, but the society is structured such that there isn't one, all-power ruler - there is no Emperor, no High King, nothing like that - and no nation as such. The land is divided up between various noble houses who each control certain areas, and occasionally come into conflict about them.

Here and there are royal houses, who title themselves king and queen, rather than lord and lady, but it's mostly just a title-change.

The world isn't supposed to be a direct fantasy equivalent to any one specific nation's history, so all locations are completely fictional.

It's a world where spirits and demons and gods are real, but not everyone believes in them. Some people believe in gods, but think ghosts are fictional - the same way some people in our world believe in the gods of their various religions, but think belief in ghosts is silly. There are true believers, convinced sceptics, and people on every step of the scale between.

SPEJS is set in a planet far away, about 500 years after the humans left earth for something better.
The planet is called Aeros and is colonized by a people called the Pangee. They've been exposed to some radiation from the powerful rocks on their home world and have developed magical powers, which shows most clearly among the females.

Aeros is pretty much a "soft" sci-fi world, it looks a lot like earth with it's nature, but the architecture is having a bit more "modern" sci-fi-y feel to it. There are probably a lot of area on Aeros that are considered inhabitable due to too much wilderness and harsh conditions. Aeros City is probably one of the very few big cities on the planet, and you have to fly between the different cities - going by car is NOT recommended if you're not having a death wish!

The planet is mostly inhabited by humans, the Pangee (I usually refer to them as "space elves") and also the Seri ("space trolls" :B). I have pretty much taken what I like about fantasy (the different races) and put them in a sci-fi setting and'll just flow with it XD

made up world/somewhere below the 9th circle of hell/towns named Ä+*4~ and T@ö#a3
year is 2006 but about 16000 years in the future
mostly the world isn't that much different from ours except

[Sketchu]

I guess with the world of Scavenger it is set in a sort of post apocalyptic world. There's walled off & isolated cities. Beyond those are less grand and new towns that were started by people pulling apart giant ruins and settling around some of them. The world is littered with the remains of massive cities and rusting metal towers.
There's some steampunk stuff and magic involved as well like steampunk ruins infested with monsters and characters that possess strange gadgets or have bizarre abilities.
The comic is still pretty new and a lot of the stuff mentioned has yet to really appear.

Ha! I also use a lot of Google Street View for the areas we haven't been to in real life!
Arizona is a bit easier to get to from California-- Denver not so much!

[ahkwardkat]

lol yeah, there are a bunch of big rocks in the way, huh?

[Starfestival]

Some cyberpunk/steampunk type place with the same languages as ours for the most part.

Reus takes place in a fictional world called Isadore.

The main story is set in the city of Regaia, which is loosely inspired by a mish-mash of cities like Lisbon, Basel, Bern, Venice, Granada, Bruges, and many many others (but those are the cities I most frequently look to for reference, mostly because I've been there so I have my own reference pictures and I have a sense of what it's like).

The setting is somewhat steampunk, but it's not really a science fiction story so I hesitate to use that term. In essence, it's vaguely late 19th century/turn of the 20th century European fashion but with more gender equity (women wear pants, men wear dresses, it's ok to show shoulders and ankles, etc etc).

[69Michi]

:Rebirth located in a country that is based off United States. Most of the street and every day activity of people in :Rebirth also are very US-ish. But that's it. City are named "A", "B", "C", "D". Date are set in 201X, 20YY. I didn't want to force my comic into a specific "real life" location, culture, or timeline so I let it be very vague. Even the character's nationality are super vague because I didn't want to deal with race diversity in my comic. I just want everything to feel free and do/design thing and character to my liking.

HOTWAB is set in our world, just a little bit in the future so we're developing technologies which are on the precipice of our current scientific horizons

[StrangeVision]

Hot Metal Miami takes place...well, in Miami! Through most of the 1980s, which was a wild time there. It's an alternate reality, but overall it's pretty close to the 80s of our reality.

[demthorshie]

Cosmos Song Takes place on an alternate universe, similar to ours in a lot of ways but with more fantasy goodness! It actually takes place after the apocalypse on their Earth. The main village in the story is heavily inspired by several Pacific Islands with some African and South American influences. :]

[pedro_de_matos]

Mixto V is set in Alcidia, a fictional city in Bay of Cádiz, where some of my novels take place too. To create it, I took things from the cities I grew up, Algeciras and San Fernando, both in Cádiz province.

[punkarsenic]

my comic is a retelling of old Gaelic myths, so the setting is ancient Ireland - say, 500 BC? - mainly the north coast. It's convenient, since I've spent a lot of time in coastal Scotland, which is similar enough that I know my way around the scenery - drawing it makes me nostalgic.

[Cherry_sama]

My comic takes place in a sort of an Arkham Asylum meets Azkaban...but without human rights being ignored, I guess. XD https://tapastic.com/series/Handsome-and-Hideous

[jessiepolfliet]

Stormspectrum takes mainly place in the fictional Solar punk city of Flavorcity.
It is set in the near future where people use all sorts of green energy(fantasy and real) in their daily lives.
There is a balance between nature, technology and magic.
But there are those that wish to tip that balance.

[ptrcksnntt]

I call the world Lax Legends is set in Tehrraz, and a lot of the deeper worldbuilding lore would be spoilers for later plot twists -_- but the stuff that's established up front? It's a quasi-modern setting that plays with the concept that sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic; their world is old, there's been a FEW "apocalypses" in history that knocked the world back to year one, so the planet is littered with technology that still works, or can be bashed into effectiveness, but that people dont actually fully understand. Thus, magetech or arcaneotech is generally classified as "magic." Firearms were called "deathspitter spells" only ten years ago, salvaged nukes are called "warender bottles" ("be discerning in its use, as the resulting enchantment soaks deep into the land for generations") etc.

The main city the characters are in is basically a big sticky love note to my home in NYC, a city the size of Alaska mostly built on landfills and the ruins of itself. A polluted, diverse hotbed of activity whose only natural resource is people.

[TrustyShamrock]

my comic takes place in a town called Freefar. its a small present day-ish suburb on a hillside across from a mountain with lots of trees and whatnot around. Freefar is peaceful and kinda boring until robots from space strart attacking it (which most people are actually pretty jazzed that something exciting is finally happening). its left up to Parsnip and her new space friend Geckie to play superhero and save it from destruction

[shatterjure]

Mine takes place all over the world plus Asgard, which is in space.
For my sceneries i use live action pictures and i sometimes use blurring to add a 3D effect.
