Since I rarely come here except mostly on mobile, I forget to bring up news here about future things that I’ve discussed on my twitter lmao
Anyways, as many of you (probably) know, my fried @loboscloverpatch and I create a wolf comic called Of Plights and Honor where our two main characters have a pack and 1 enemy with cameo characters from other artists/OC creators. This means we would not be able to make a profit from working on said comic because it’d require compensation for the cameo people that we might not be able to get monetary gain for anyway (we don’t really have a lot of viewers on Tapastic or here, so I don’t see it sellable even if we could compensate the cameo people) Not only that, but this was also kind of a test run to see how well Kylie and I work together with a big project like this one. So far, we have enjoyed the work we have done, so I wanted to see about making another comic with her one day, tho it was entirely up to her since she’s the main artist who can draw animal anatomy well (her background skills are flipping fantastic too!)
Well we have decided to do just that and come up with a 100% original new comic that we could make a profit on eventually (tho it’d still be viewable for free online (I think Tapastic pays the artists via advertisements, but I’m not 100% sure on that?)) There is no telling when we’d start making actual pages (we kinda need to finish OPAH first heh) but I will say this: we have started brainstorming out our idea. To avoid giving too much away, I will say that it’ll be Apocalyptic themed, have anthro and feral animal OCs known as Animalia (the anthro animals only) and the title is The Point of No Return
At the moment I am trying to write the storyline (while adding panel descriptions that I’ve already thought up to help Kylie with visualization) and we’re both trying to come up with the characters. So far we have only partly-finished OCs, but we have a good start on our main characters (most have species, gender, and relations, but designs and clothing is only a small percentage done) We also have to discuss the fictional planet that the Animalia live on and hopefully we can come up with a map/atlas type thing to correspond with everything down the road
Do we have a long way to go before we can start cranking out pages? Absolutely, because this comic is going to (hopefully) be a long and good one, but we are already getting a nice headstart on it all, its only a matter of time until we have all of our ideas out on paper. In the meantime, I plan to try and keep everyone informed about progress as we create our characters and the story. So far I have started a private document with Kylie on each chapter with how many pages and panels they will have. I only have the prologue (chapter 0) finished and am getting a start on chapter 1 already. It’ll take us a while before we have exact page numbers per chapter and how many panels total for each, since I can only make my own panel descriptions intermingled with the storyline so much, but everyone will be informed when changes occur
So this is our big news (that we literally came up with 3 days ago XD) and we hope you will join us in this new creation :) If you would like to follow/bookmark our Tapastic profile for updates, you can go HERE. If you wish to be informed via Twitter, my handle is @Hitaka5Ever and Kylie’s is @LoboSong (we post a lot of other stuff too) If we find more locations to host the comic, you will be informed about that too :)
We hope to see you lovely folks around <3
