Talking about comics (Patreon)
Content
I really want to build up my comic making skills for my Kiki project, and I've been in a weird half-assed rut the last few months. But I've basically got three comic ideas in mind that I'd like to do to gradually assist in my ability to do them.
"Dorkoma" - Because Kaede and Shizuka have no real purpose or setting, I felt like a series of 4koma would suit them well. Little bit of characterisation, little bit of goofing, could have a little bit of sauciness but I personally found that avoiding 00s era webcomic tropes (y'know, when they'd get mean spirited or have stupidly violent punchlines) or excuses for horniness improved everything. Very limited in scope. Sorta dig the idea of having you guys help assemble the third character from the leftover parts (tall-thick dark-skinned big-bosom I guess would be the starting point). Single page self-contained comics so that I can learn to improvise quickly.
"The New Transfer is a Half-Succubus" - The title popped into my head, and that's the idea. Obviously, it's hella close to Demi-chans/Interviews with Monster Girls with the embarassed succubus teacher, and I'm obviously influenced by that, so I can only try my best to avoid retreading. I like the idea of a student who seems bookish but through whatever circumstance (skin exposure, tighter clothing, glasses off, hair unties to reveal messy sex hair) ends up accidentally torturing her new guy friend who can barely keep it together. Longer form, but not too long, especially since there are no ideas yet other than maybe she invites him home and he meets her mother who's a 100% succubus which some of you might like who can say :v (Should her father be extremely happily tired, a literal omegahunk, or "died years ago peacefully in bed with a shattered pelvis"?)
"Eva 2.5" - With the extras now out, they don't drastically alter much of my understanding, but it gave me some comfort in that I don't have to chase the idea of making the "lost middle movie" anymore and can just treat it like a series of anthological sequences. But this also very indulgent of me and would be simultaneously the easiest (existing material to work from) and hardest (fabricating new material and having it hook up cleanly with the canon material) one to achieve. This is one of those things that won't appeal to many, especially you guys, but by having it exist will be extremely cool. It's tougher like the Succubus idea, but far more sci-fi/fantasy and action/artsy oriented and focus on weird designs.
Naturally me thinking about three at once is stupid, but I like to be free to shift gears. Toyed with the idea of making this a poll but I don't think this is that kind of post. Just wanted to give an idea where my head is currently (any upcoming Patreon posts notwithstanding) and any slowness will be due to me breaking down some aspect of these.
That and still being scared of Windows 11.
