Here's the first drawing I made of my comic's main character, Gemini, back in 2014: [image] Here's my comic's first chapter cover from June of 2016: [image] Onto the new stuff, here's a Christmas image of my comic characters that I finished up yesterday (yeah, I know, early time to celebrate…

I guess you could say my current episode is somewhat Halloween themed. It is zombie-based, and marks the moment where my baddie summons them all to make a giant zombie dragon monstrosity. [image]

[image] Same here. Upon reading this thread, I checked, and absolutely nothing is available. I'm Canadian, for the record.

I've gotten a similar thing this year. Each time I reach a "40 Mark" in subs (ex. 240, 340), I stagnate for the longest time. I was on 240 for about 5 months or so, and then all of a sudden I shot past it. Now that I'm in my 340s, I've been stuck for a couple more months. Usually during this per…

My comic, Don't Be A Hero is manga-styled, although it reads left to right (and is in full colour). It has a mix of an eastern-meets-western style, but I've always been more inspired by manga than western comics. It's filled with over-the-top action, ridiculous characters and a superhero-slaying p…

Feel free to have Gemini cameo as a guard or a maid. Or if those choices are taken and you want a thug, Johnny would definitely fit the bill.

I've tipped almost 10k coins so far. I'm still going to be farming some coins, so I should pass that 10k mark for sure by the time the tipping event ends today. I'm also not getting 20 coin ads or anything. The whole amount I've scraped up is based on 10 coin ads. Luckily, I've been getting ple…

I'll chip in with Don't Be A Hero. It's got plenty of action, and quite a violent intro too.

This is the main thing that slows me down when it comes to my comic. Most of the time, when I have to start a fresh page, it's hard to find the motivation to get past the beginning phases (thumb nailing, light sketching, figuring out the angles, and sometimes, even the fine sketching). And sometim…

I have a comic that's going to have a lot of crazy battles. My current one is against a guitar wielding necromancer with a zombie apocalypse at his disposal. Just one look at my banner (or description), and you'll get an idea of how most of my crazy cast seems.

Haha, it's fine. If that theme was in The Seventh Re:Set, I never really noticed it. I've noticed some spells like fire and ice, but I didn't remember anyone claiming to be the embodiment of those elements. I have nothing against characters using basic elements. I just find it really cheesy when …

My main character, Gemini, uses her ball-and-chain-like device, Valhalla, to absorb her foes, breaking them down into essence that she can imbue herself with their powers (or transform Valhalla itself into weapons). This gives her a ton of flexibility. Currently, she has access to clone and spear …

I've definitely seen a drop. I started posting 3 page updates every 5 days since the start of February, and I was gaining about 30 subs per update. I did a 4 page upload on my 3rd last update, I think I gained about 30 to 40 subs, which was my highest amount. So naturally I started uploading in 4…

Lol, I'm glad I could entertain!

I should be drawing (technically colouring) but instead I'm laying here trying not to fall asleep. I know I should be productive, but it's a daunting task, and I just spent the whole day doing chores and entertaining my 2 year old daughter. I'm done for today.

Oh, Gemini looks awesome! I really like the dynamic pose you gave her, and you definitely got all of her details down. Thanks, @aspiderjonny! Also awesome to see Dakota and Roxy in your style too. In fact, all of these characters turned out looking great.

I would love to see Gemini (the pink girl, of course) from Don't Be A Hero, if you wouldn't mind! You can find plenty of other references for her in my comic. [image]

I totally saw your character as a "T-Rex" myself, but a demon or gremlin should still be entertaining. I'm very sorry...that was totally lame. lol. And yes, I know a T rex isn't a mythological creature. But it would still be hilarious.

I update once a week, and even I feel really slow. When chapters can be +30 pages, I can only get a little over a chapter done in a year (breaks included). I'm trying to sharpen up my writing to condense future chapters, but it isn't easy to do without losing the charm of my story, so I guess bei…

My comic is Don't Be A Hero, if you're interested in reading an action comic about a scientist who slays superheroes.

Oh, other games they'll develop in the future will definitely use them. Nintendo put a LOT of time and money into those joy con controllers for them to be used eventually.

It wasn't paid online that wasn't selling it to me. I was just mentioning all of the combined prices that eventually add up, and paid online is just a small part of that. Not to say that I would never use paid online if I had one though. Since I mentioned Splatoon 2 was one of the only 2 games I …

I have heard about the joy cons becoming two separate controllers, but I do have to wonder if every game will use them as such, or if many games will require each player to use a combination of both joy cons. I've never had much luck with knock off brands, as I've had a lot of 3rd party controllers…

Hey, I don't expect you to read it, but I'm not trying to convince others to not buy it. I'm just stating my own personal reasons for not buying it as the thread asked. Bottom line, I've been a fan of Nintendo for most of my life. I'm just put off by a lot of Nintendo's recent decisions lately, an…

WARNING: Wall of text ahead. I don't expect anyone to read this, or agree with me. If you're interested in a Switch, I'm completely cool with it I'm definitely not interested in it anymore. And this is coming from someone who's loved Nintendo his whole life. I'm more of a fan of lighthearted g…

Feel free to check out my comic, Don't Be A Hero, a story about a scientist prodigy slaying a town's superhero league that was responsible for vaporizing her sister. Come for fights involving: - A doofus manchild hero with a heart of gold - A little girl that can shape reality - A guitarist necroma…

I'd imagine a studio who does really over-the-top works, like whoever works on Gurren Lagaan or Kill La Kill (I think they have the same director, but maybe different animation studios). Bones is also a good runner up. Really, whoever can handle over-the-top action scenes with a silky smooth flow,…

Ah I forgot Dazzworld and SerenadeSong! I totally second those two comics!

I keep recommending them all the time, but Elgenar's Dragon Chapel and Po's Adventure really need some more love. He has an absolute TON of high quality pages, and still only has 42 subs and 29 subs respectively. I've also got to give shout-outs to Voidchild (89 subs), Ray Thunder (58 subs) and F…
