BreakingChalk

A waste of time, for now at least. I already spend a lot of hours on my job and my story will be long and will take a while to fully and properly realize; there isn't time for a healthy relationship, nor for the pain of an unhealthy/impossible one

Show me your online persona! I’ll go first ^w^

I had "Tal" from when I was Talking Chalk, based of myself around my 18's [image] And now Brea, which is based on my second most favorite OC that hasn't appeared yet. I changed to Brea because I wanted to draw the OC mentioned more often, but she isn't coming like this any time soon [image] I wa…

Twitter, is it for your fans, or you?

Besides some joke about how indecisive I am to order a pizza on fridays, I tweet and comment only my drawings, WIPs, doodles, and updates on my comic and blog. I rather not talk about my issues in my social media as Breaking Chalk (besides the blog), because it becomes a vicious cycle in which I w…

Your “I’m not biased BUT,” Opinions

I'm totally not biased, but purple is the definitive color, and is the reason why most people dislike yellow. This post was sponsored by the purple gang.

How do you develop your characters' personalities?

I try to explain something I've experienced during my life through them. Seymon being the MC has slowly become a very personal character, Stephanie and Salamon are based of all of my friends but focusing on different aspects while adding flaws to both of them and Seymon. Then there's Hotdogiano,…

How do you come up with your episode titles?

I like titles that can sound like something else, and both things still have meaning to the chapter. Example BLOOD EYES: [image][image][image] BLOOD EYES serves as the Prologue to the reboot of my comic, following Alex Razor who can shoot laser beams, usually from his eyes, although making so do…

What was your first ever gaming console?

First and only: Xbox 360. I didn't know anything about games besides the dbz ones (I sucked at them), so I asked for Halo 1 2 and 3, which I thought were upgrades for the system. Only got Halo 3 and didn't play it after 3 months because I didn't know how to play FPS games, but once I understood how …

Graduating College

Depends on everyone's personal experiences, but to me, it felt hollow. First it was online, then like six months later, two events in which I was reminded of why I wanted to leave the place, and many other factors too personal for me to share here made that made the last year... empty. Hopefully i…

Cover art changes - feel free to post yours

During 2020-2021 [image][image][image] Now with the reboot [image] I didn't expect to use this drawing as a cover, but it has the MC and important characters to his development, that it just worked well to add the title and make it the cover.

How long will your story be?

Now that I'm rebooting and am almost done with Chapter 0, I see a full chapter takes me around 3 months. That means that, as I am now I can get 4 chapters per year. The story seems to be aiming for 42 chapters. 11 years for the first Saga. There are other three I'm working on connected to thi story,…

How do you structure your comic? Seasons? Just episodes?

I structured my comic with Tapas episodes(common uploads), then ACTUAL episodes or Chapters as I wrote in their covers (made of 6-8 tapas uploads), and they make for Arcs (around 4 to 8 chapters) and those arcs make for Sagas (with different protagonists, ala jojos) Although I'm rebooting my comic…

Confessions of an author (1)

It's either sleep and and have 0 time on the comic, or not sleep and have 1 hour of effective work... Jk, if don't fall asleep, I sometimes get to draw 5 hours straight, but there are many factors: Food, privacy in my room, sounds from outside, if I took a bath in the morning or the night. I'm P…

The professional/hobbyist dichotomy

That's how I've feel lately. I want to have the time to only make my comics and drawings in general but there are so many factors that just make it impossible: - Having studied a different career - The need of getting rid of debts I need a job to do so - Fear that the internet won't like what I do/m…

Have you ever had Unattractive Art

Well, there was this point where I switched from cartoony to "realistic" because I didn't knew I could change my style until then. It wasn't fit for the style of stories I make now and it surely wasn't actually realistic nor pleasing to look at, but it did help me add more detail to my character d…

When the Audience has a different opinion than you

I got called by a potential reader for using the word "r-------" once in my comic when I've been called like that by "friends" several times. People can take these jokes differently depending from their country, race, religion, and upbringing, even more on the internet, with people from everywhere…
