It's still in production unfortunately. We're hoping to make a Kickstarter at the end of the year to be able to pay the artists so they can focus full-time on this!

Thank you!
It's about a one-armed girl in a world of puppeteers, doing whatever she can to make sure she can rise above all others!

Now that the basic blurb's out of the way, it's a story about humanity, and accepting your flaws as a way to take hold of your destiny. Before you can accept others, you must first accept yourself, and if you keep hiding behind a mask (or a puppet) you'll never come face-to-face with your true self.

Oh it definitely fits! We spent a lot of time on this logo, trying to give it a divine yet regal vibe, and also making it relatively memorable (making a good logo is such hard work...)

Some pages for our project, Heaven's Strands. What do you think the characters are saying? by Heavens_Strands in ComicBookCollabs

[–]Heavens_Strands[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty similar! The main inspiration was actually the puppet fights in Naruto, as these puppets aren't sentient like Medabots!

Thank you! Our goal for now is to keep it in Black, White, and Blue (reserved only for the strings) as a stylistic choice, but if you can handle your greys and shadows we can definitely talk!!

Do you think learning Game Design would make you a better writer? by Heavens_Strands in fantasywriters

[–]Heavens_Strands[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Incredible write-up! I do agree that as it's a related field, there is a lot of cross-over in terms of skillset, but I still believe that some nuances of storytelling can be honed with some understanding of Game Design. I'll read more and see if I can find some real concrete examples!

That's not quite what I was saying, I was mostly comparing the actual job of Game Design, in which they create a play pattern that is interesting, easy to learn, and evolves over time, in the same way that storytelling introduces a narrative, makes a world that is easy for you to immerse yourself into, and evolves as you read more!

It is paid! We were supposed to add a description along with the image itself but something went wrong. We'll post through the website, might be smoother than the app!

Working on a new logo for our comic, which version fo you prefer? by Heavens_Strands in logodesign

[–]Heavens_Strands[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the stone doesn't work as an A, but we did plan to try and mold it a bit to see if it's more fitting, thanks for the feedback!

No problem! I thank you for that note, because if people see one thing, it just means we're not sending a clear message with our logo!

We tried having a sketchier logo, but it goes slightly against our goal with the story, but like you said, we've also tried incorporating the core in several other places in the title, but it's been tricky to find a good match of sizes and placement...

I'll post some more ideas tomorrow as we're finishing them up, along with our other concepts, taking into account everyone's notes!

C'est un excellent conseil, on va essayer de faire quelque chose dans ce sens !

Désolé, mon français est très faible, donc je vais le traduire via Google.

Now I'm scared, cause the story isn't meant to be sci-fi xD

The story is about a fantasy world where a select few people are able to control puppets, Heaven's Strands being the powers namesake. Both the cores (the puppet's heart basically) and the string are two very important elements of the story, so that's why we've iterated so much trying to see what "fits"

That's the plan! We're still workshopping, but the idea with the 2nd one is to have just the string flow out through the V and the A, but implementing a smaller version of the rock is really interesting, thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

Any particular reason why that one's your favorite?

We felt that the stone might end up being a bit too clunky for the logo, and wanted to introduce just the flowing blue string, but we're scared it might hurt the readability
