My favorite thing? Alexander!!
He's the love interest of my MC and i designed him based on my boyfriend and various things that i like of my favorite characters

Here is the design, he's missing a cape and a mask, but thats not important. He has one in the mains story.

Im just a fangirl xD

In my current comic (Casiopea's adventure) he's the dark king, but my current comic is just a spin off of the main story (coming soon)

I love a lot of things about my story A.O.D.. First, it was the first story I wrote (and I've written A LOT) so there's obviously the love for the first story. Second, it's one of my more emotional stories, as the characters go through such a human experience for being non human characters. It's an allegory to humanity with the three main characters as we all struggle with the light and the dark within ourselves. I like writing stories that get to the heart and can make the reader feel what I want them to feel. I don't know if A.O.D. will do that yet but I'm gonna keep going no matter what reactions it gets!
From a structural standpoint, I do like it because it shows how much I've come. I started this in 2013 (drawing, the story was written some years earlier) and I have learned so much in terms of anatomy, perspective and simple design. I'm not an expert, but I have an interest always in improving and am willing to hear any comments from structure to story to characters. I know in the first four chapters you don't see all that but consider it as half of part 1. Book 2 which is in the finishing works will be the other half of part 1, and it will get more intense and you'll see the characters differently from the first four chapters (slightly).
Overall, I like this story and I hope to anyone subscribed (or interested) that you will like it to all the way to the end! If you're interested, feel free to check it out!

My one favorite thing about my comic might be a cliche one, but it would have to be the freedom I have to tell a story that I care about and I personally want to read.
I love all my characters, and I love the plot and everything I've done with the worldbuilding, but that really all boils down to being able to freely create what I love. I just hope that my love for my comic comes through to people reading it. :hearts:

This is a tough one. I love my story because it's one I have wanted to write for a long time, with a theme I find interesting. I like going into the psychology of what makes people become a villain. What does it mean to be monstrous? It also helps that I really enjoy describing action and in the moment settings so I think my story flows well from one scene to the next without a lot of exposition needed.

I think the one thing I love most of all...is how I switch and mix up different genres in each chapter. It could be funny, it could be passion, it could be sappy, could be action-packed...and then it could be just downright terrifying. I love that and I feel like I do that effectively. Maybe.

The idea stemmed from the premise "If you were in charge of revamping Superman for a new generation, what would you do?"

My copywrite safe answer is.... The Skyman!

Obviously it's not an exact one to one comparison with Superman because of course not, I can't afford a lawyer. But I am quite proud of how much of my vision I was able to make a reality.

I think my favorite is honestly the characters; there's a natural flow when writing for them, mostly because I've been drawing/writing for them for several years even though the comic hasn't been going for long! It feels natural to me.
Though my brother tells me that he likes the way I draw the truck.

I love my characters and the struggles I’ve given them. I also like the direction the plot took, because a big twist was created as I was writing that I didn’t even anticipate would happen when I first started.

characters! i love writing characters. but i think i don't execute them properly enough lol.
but i still love them! looking forward to writing more tbh.

I love the dynamic between Greer and my four characters, because they're all like "You're a princess, why won't you let us treat you like one and spoil you?" but then they become more like "We have adopted you. You are now our little sis. Anyone who hurts our sister must suffer for it."

Yes and she's just all "Wait no what no... dude I'm sleeping on your COUCH because it beats being HOMELESS and y'all are really nice and wait what when did this all happen?!"

I've been trying for a long time to find a passion. Something I can do that will make money and that I will enjoy. Something that would support my pastime writing comics. But.... writing this comic... over time it's kind of enforced the realization that... this is what I love to do. My favorite thing about my comic is that it reminded me I love to make comics. :relieved:

I'm really happy that in my zombie story, I managed to drop many small hints throughout that lead towards the final twist at the end! :wink:

I also enjoyed writing the action scenes and maintaining the psychological tension from chapter to chapter. :smiley:

I've gotta hand it to developing character relationships. The comic is a horror/fantasy that takes place in what is essentially a parallel universe to our own. The main character of my comic is a 15-year-old foster kid. She's an optimist and tries not to let her lack of a typical family arrangement get in the way of things. Sparing you a whole novel's worth of backstory and explanation, this girl essentially gets adopted by a reaper (technically only half-reaper, but that's irrelivant. Though it's worth mentioning he abuses his powers to save children). The reaper himself had a less than ideal upbringing as a kid, not to mention he's unable to have biological offspring of his own, and seeing him connect with this girl is pretty tender and makes me feel really good when drawing. I love drawing the slow progression of their relationship. Watching them go from confused and unsure, like complete strangers, to essentially what is just a very wholesome child/guardian relationship.

I also like the complexity of some of the other relationships in the comic. Such as the main antagonist falling in love with one of the main protagonists. Drawing out her emotions and thought processes is an interesting experience for me. Watching two halves of her fighting over whether to kill or spare the protagonist is just....well, again, interesting.

Artistically, I like that my comic is painstakingly drawn in ball-point pen. The colors are digital, but the lines themselves are all hand drawn in ink. The original comic pages were completely digital, but I didn't feel like they were a good representation of my true art style. So I actually pushed back the comic's official release date to early 2020 just so I could redraw every page in pen. It is a pain but I'm proud of myself for prioritizing my happiness with the comic over just getting it out on a certain date. And I do like the look of the handrawn style significantly better. It gives it a bit of dirty, grittiness that I think fits the aesthetic better than clean vector lines.

I like what my novel has meant to people. It handles some very dark themes on mental health issues, and I am glad that people can recognise traits of themselves in it and perhaps find some understanding. Thus far quite a few people have commented on how it has resonated with them, or even helped them, which I am really glad for.

I really like the atmosphere and the vibe of my comic (cozy and calming), and also the backgrounds! (I put a lot of effort in it)
But there are also many doubts and insecuruties abt my comic lol

I really enjoyed writing an action scene revolving around assassins trying to kill each other while waltzing. :stuck_out_tongue:
It was super fun to describe the gadgets involved and I'm happy with how it turned out!
