I want to start this ask by saying I love your art and I'm soooo excited to see your new project inspired from the PMaTGA webcomic! Can't wait to see more!
I have to ask about some the plans for the Ghostly Adventures webcomic. I remember a few posts/reblogs (that or my brain is playing with me again, oop–) with a few things that got me really curious to see on it.
The Ghost Gang interacted differently with Pac? Love their designs btw.
What was Spheria's role going to be (about the war, Pac and Betrayus more especifically [she is mentioned twice so I guess she was going to be important])? Any drama or a badass moment?
Was it going to cover several episodes of the series o it was a more linear/shorter story?
Was there going to be a ship with relevance to the story or nah?
Other villains (Apex, the Pacinator, Obtuse, Dr. Pacenstein, Specter, etc) were going to appear or also nah?
Was Stratos going to be a morally grey character?
No pressure in answering all or any of these. Again, love your art and writing. Stay safe and have a good day/night/afternoon ✌️✨️
Ooh thank you for your interest and support!!!!
Yeah, I'm writing a book that follows where the webcomic was going so be on the lookout for that! (Hero of Gold, Haunted: Book One of the Spirits and Superpowers Saga) It has the names altered and a lot of world building and clarified plotlines since I've started so far from canon.
I'll answer these with pmatga names for the sake of clarity, though. Kind of spoilery but I'm keeping some things up my sleeve for the book reveals!
The ghost gang had semi-altered personalities from the show. Inky was sneakier and ruthless. He didn't really care what side he was on as long as it was the winning side at that moment. Made him a bit more of a wild card. Pinky was flirtatious with Pac but not obsessive like in the show, I wanted to develop a real relationship between them. Blinky is genuinely trying to do the right thing but is really frustrated with being a ghost and butts heads with Inky often. Clyde is pretty unaltered, I love him. 🧡
Spheria struggles with her PTSD from the war. She's trying really hard to be a guardian to Pac but struggles to overcome her own trauma. Pac finds her a bit unreliable because of this. It's a pretty tragic relationship to start with. Spheria has kind of a regaining of self and sense of purpose when the ghosts arise. She sees it as a second chance to bring justice to the family she failed. I had some great plans with her for the second book (episode) to mentor Cyli and for Pac to gain a new understanding and respect for her. There was a badass scene where she fought a dragon.
Kind of. There's some things I wanted to for sure explore: Cyli's family, Zac and Sunny's relationship and past, Butler's tragedy, etc. I wanted to really explore the Netherworld and the lore of the Mazes. So kind of some filler for character building sake. However, it was going to be more linear, all building up to the end and the twist I had planned. (Someone killed Sunny, and it wasn't Betrayus, a lot of lies get told, everything falls apart)
Pac and Pinky, as I mentioned. I like the subversion of Pac with a ghost. (I'm so sorry @ell-arts ) Cyli and Spiral. Betrayus and Spheria have some weird tension and unspoken things from the past going on and I never was sure if I was going to commit to it. And, hey! Fuzbits gets a girl monster!
Obtuse is the only one I kept. He ends up being one of the oligarchs of a foreign country in the comic. His presence as an alternative antagonist forces Pac and Betrayus to work together and reveals some hidden truths.
I'm gonna keep you guessing on that one. It's what he does best anyway 😉
Thank you so much for this ask! I had so much planned and I feel terrible for not continuing but it was a massive amount of effort and I just could not keep up. I hope that by dedicating my efforts to something more original I can maybe one day make enough to pursue my dream as an independent artist and writer!!
Have a few random sketches I found of idea drafting for the TGAW!
