Comic for Monday, March 9th
Mar09
Some people will have questions about our pink haired friend’s appearance, rest assured, at least some of them will be answered shortly. Suffice it say for the time being that no, while the hair color isn’t exactly out of the norm considering the comic world, she is not supposed to look like a normal human…

Does Pink have underwear on?
Probably not. She’s mostly metal, now.
Hi, I just finished the archive, and I’m ready for the next installment. 🙂
Thanks! 🙂 Glad hear you enjoyed it!
To be honest it takes restraint on my end to not just post everything in the buffer and to keep it at steady buffered pace. But it’s scheduled for whatever the server/wordpress thinks is 1-am Wednesday, which in my experience being Pacific time is like… the middle of Tuesday evening 🙂
I’m having a lot of fun writing, always great to hear that someone enjoys reading it.
I like the way you’re developing the storyline, building the world one brick at a time. In my opinion, that’s much more effective than long expositions. I also like the way your artwork is improving, which shows that you’re serious about doing this. 🙂
I further notice the mystery, um, character’s mismatched, oddly colored eyes–it’s a nice touch.
And for when someone gets on our case about something, I leave you with the words of an artist friend of mine as she answered a critic: “Don’t tell me, show me. And if you can’t show me, shut up!” 😀
It’s great to hear that the story works for you! My plan from the start was to drop the reader into a story already in motion – and since I’ve had a long time to plan the comic, its a really big and detailed setting to explore. I think I started a little too fast (jumping between characters too fast, too many words per panel, etc – what can I say, I was excited…), but hopefully the pace is better now.
I know both the writing and art were pretty rough at the start, and am glad to note that the improvement is noticeable – this comic was a pretty big career re-direction so a lot of skills to grind 🙂
I don’t mind critics too much; I’m a pretty harsh critic of my own stuff (it never quite matches the things floating around in the brain…), but have fought enough battles to know the only way to win this one is keep going. Generally I’m happy for any feedback, even the “rawgr I hate this! pls die” 🙂 But I appreciate the words!
Hello again, I came to by to let you know that I am really liking your comic. I have to agree with delta about how you’re setting up your world; as you’re letting the readers experience the world without having to sit down and explain it. Really you seem to have the brick by brick world-building down.
As for how fast the start was… I’m going to have to disagree. The speed you took things showed off who the major players of the story are, which helps the reader understand which sorts of conceits your story uses. I’m not sure if I have a firm enough grasp on story-structure to explain the why it works. From what I understand though, the first ten pages are mostly used to convey what sort of story it is that you’re telling.
Really though I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to psychology and logic. 😛
Few times have been happier to be told I’m wrong! … and its pretty large sample size to pull from… 🙂
I appreciate the feedback! It really helps – working the void makes it tricky sometimes – overthinking things can be as dangerous as not thinking them through at all!
As for being a psychology and logic nerd… I think you and the comic will get along splendidly! 🙂
