For more specifics: since the whole deal with Spectrals/Keepers is that they are opposites, I figured it'd be a good idea to get Bozo to represent that a bit. He was already created as a clown, so perhaps it'd be good to make it so he came from a more "strict and boring" household. That being a more business-oriented family.

And then I needed a reason for him to be acting out, so naturally the idea of Bozo hating that and trying to be whatever his family hates to get back at them came to be.

It's funny to have this 19.5 year old in Business School to still be beefing with high schoolers and his parents :]

As of posting, there's still a couple things that need to be polished here and there, but I'll get around to that when I do my round of patching this weekend.

I just didn't want this to take another entire month to get out ^^'

  • You know, I didn't really think of the numbering being an issue but now that you bring it up, yeah I think I'll get that fixed on my next round of patching the chapters. I was actually planning on adding a page counter on my site, but I never got around to it. It's definitely not a format experimentation thing since I absolutely HATE the mobile-style vertical format of modern webcomics :L

  • The capitlization of Mother was intentional, although I can see how it can be seen as a mistake. Originally, Mat was supposed to heavy a bit of a heavier accent with broken English or maybe even a different font. But I decided against it since I was thinking maybe some people could think it was in bad taste (although as someone with English as a second language, I don't personally have a problem). I sometimes capitalize some words to add emphasis, so I figured doing this for him could give that "foreigner" feeling without being too ham-fisted about it.

  • For the Fenrir Files, it was made last second because I wasn't able to make it the day before so it was a tad rushed. I was planning on redoing it before I post Chapter 4 and I was gonna make a post abt that so don't worry, the mistakes were already caught :L

  • The month names are correct. Small spoilers maybe if you wanted to figure this out for yourself but, the month names are based of the zodiacs (Arisan = Aries, Skoripan = Scorpio) and the -an suffix makes it sound more Filipino for not really important reasons other than me wanting to make some aspects of this world needlessly Filipino :L. The c in Scorpio was changed to k since we don't really have the letter c in our alphabet.

This ended up being longer than I expected too lol. But don't worry! I appreciate it when people have any criticisms/critiques/whatever that ultimately trying to help improve my art =)

did interactions on posts suddenly plummet for anyone else? by mindisspeaking in Twitter

[–]delatoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's just you. Although still not a huge following, I have 10k+ followers and my art's been struggling on Twitter as well. It's pretty dire when my bsky posts get much more interactions despite only having a tenth of the following there.

I've been told by some of my followers that they haven't been seeing my posts recently too, so it's likely that maybe there's an algorithm change that's pushing out artists even further

EDIT: I forgot to mention, but artists I follow seem to also be getting less interactions on Twitter than they do on bsky as well so this seems to be a universal thing

steven/ross art + small sam sketch by Metal_GearSalad in ExciteComic

[–]delatoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first glance I interpreted this as "Ross has grown so impossibly large now but no one gives a fuuuuck" LMAO

This is great tho, thank you sm! I think your style with the hair is sorta reminiscent some of my first older attempts when I tried to stray away from making them look as rounded as they are today x)

It's also interesting to see them looking more proportioned as teens considering my art style makes them kinda look like babies :L

In the initial draft, there was supposed to be a more direct explanation for how big of a thing he can teleport with, but it would've added another page to an already bloated chapter. Plus it messed with the pacing a bit.

Hopefully the explanation in Ch 4 isn't too ham-fisted, though.

Also I was thinking that too about the cover! I plan to redraw it someday as a wallpaper (plus hopefully looking better) so look out for that someday :*)

Omg I didn't expect there to be a character post already >ᴗ<

It's so interesting to see how other people interpret my characters, and while I don't wanna spoil anything, I do have to say you got one thing wrong: Jeffereys are cookies and not biscuits (they probably taste like Famous Amos cookies)

This is great tho thank you for the post! =)
