The Black Parade (a fancomic)

The Black Parade is a fancomic based on the concept album of the same name by My Chemical Romance; the comic will span multiple chapters, with dialogue only consisting of the lyrics of each song (not necessarily in track order). Each update will include (5) pages a post, and will be marked with warnings in the tags! Please note that the subject matter of the comic will deal with death, violence, alcohol/drug abuse, domestic and child abuse (non CSA), war, PTSD, and terminal illness. Be cautious in your browsing here for this reason! My ko-fi is @ foolscapper if you feel so kind as to support my work. ♥

The Black Parade (a fancomic)

ABOUT:

The Black Parade (a fancomic) is a multi-chaptered comic 'adaptation’ of the album The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance, which chronicles a young man struck by a cancer prognosis — and the cruel, frenetic grim reaper that is patiently waiting to take him. 

All dialogue is compromised of song lyrics from each track, with the artist’s interpretation forming a singular narrative. Consider it a... musical drama? A supernatural or horror-inspired dramedy? Depressionville, USA?

Not all songs on the original Black Parade album will be in chronological order from the tracklist, but they will all be featured.

WARNING, COMIC MAY FEATURE THE FOLLOWING: 

Cancer/terminal Illness

Funeral imagery

Death and Topics of Death

Drug/Alcohol Abuse

Domestic/Child Abuse (non-sexual)

Violence and Blood

War and War-related Themes

Mildly Sexual Situations (PG-13)

If you're squeamish about any of these topics, you can back out and take care of yourself! I will do my very, very best to tag all content in the tags as best I can. Updates will be five pages a piece, and will be posted sporadically but as soon as I can; time between updates entirely depends on my life/work schedule! 

Reblogs are extremely appreciated! I will always be happy to get a like too, of course, but reblogging helps get the work out there! So consider this +1 thanks to all of you who like the posts and +2 thanks to the kind souls who reblog. 

Thank you so much for visiting. ♥

Hello everyone! Recently I've been slow to update (even more than usual, eck) due to needing to focus on costs of home updates! More specifically, I've been taking on oodles of commissions and pushing my hobbies to the wayside so I can finally have a shower, bathroom, and sink, which I had painfully gone without for about 2 years now. Lots of going to other family member's homes to do basic bathroom things, lol!

But as you know, The Black Parade DID complete Volume 1! Which I'm so happy about, and I appreciate everyone's support. I'm still a ways away from offering physical copies of anything, but I did want to let you know that in order to help with some costs of living, I've decided to put a glorified tip jar up on gumroad for the first volume!

It's a $3 PDF with pages of better quality than what you'd find on the free to read websites. Please note, you do not have to buy it in order to read The Black Parade! This is solely if you would like to help support the artist as she combats the final leg of her bathroom adventures.

Find it on Gumroad HERE!

Thank you so much for your readership, and I really hope to get back to normalcy and get you the next chapter soon.

hey! I love your art and storyline, it's incredible! So you have any tips for drawing like that?

I'm so sorry for how long this took to respond to, yeesh! Should've been paying better attention to my tumblr inbox!

Thank you so much for your kindness. I would say collecting references for poses is very important -- references are your friends! That includes taking pictures of any action figures you may have, or even pictures of friends/family who will pose for you. And try not to take any shortcuts in your art if you can help it. Draw more backgrounds; draw hands; draw things that you struggle with! Draw things poorly over and over until they improve!

Thanks to The Black Parade and MCR, for example, I've had to learn how to draw instruments, which I hated to do at the time, but it was only ever a benefit for my art to do it regardless. ;P I also put TBP comic in Los Angeles and it made me face having to draw more buildings and backdrops.

Lastly, if you start something, do your very best to finish it! Even if it's not the outcome you expected.

Hey, I love you work and wanted to share it off Tumblr, and I swear last night I read it on a website? Either your own or formatted kinda like comic fury? Do you have an official place you post elsewhere? (It is quite possible I was either half awake enough I navigated it that smoothly without or that I was reading somewhere it shouldn't have been posted- but better to just ask them speculate and never find out!)

Thank you in advance if you reply- and thanks again for the dedication to your beautiful interpretation of the lyrics and the stories you are telling with them!

Aw, thank you so much! I have it in a few places — webtoons, namicomi, and comic fury are three of ‘em! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
