🕯️Thoughts & Ideas...🕯️ A Patron-Run Comic?
🕑 Added 2023-05-09 21:00:57 +0000 UTCIn anticipation of my upcoming deadline, where my year-long job is coming to a close, I wanted to begin working on a fun idea involving all of us!! Let's come up with a goofy project fueled by your guys' feedback; An ongoing comic that I can do a page for every week or other week, where the events that take place in it are determined by you guys. I think that'd be a cool and unique little thing we can do together! Now that Patreon has become my leading source of income, my time and energy is to all be spent here, with you!! What do you say??
Let's talk in the comments about how we can make something like this work! I'm thinking we should start by coming up with what kind of comic it would be, such as if it should be an Undertale comic for example, and how we can viably make it so that you all get the most flexibility with deciding the comic's paths/decision making. Perhaps we can drum up a few characters, a simple way to start, and then start holding polls with options based on your input!

Oh yeah, totally! I just wanted to set the base idea, I'd love to hear everyone else's ideas! Can't wait for the feedback and polls to follow up.
Melikas
OH wow!! Such a detailed concept!!! If you're willing, I'll totally refer back to this idea of yours when the voting begins! I'm imagining, since this is to be decided by all patrons, we'll work our way down tiers of decisions and get more specific to the type of comic we all want to see! If we start off with an original concept in the first tier, I can totally offer your idea as an option in the tier following it!
Melikas
wow I love that idea! Something like, taking my own ocs and having you guys decide what topics for them to handle/ paths to take? I love it!! I didn't even think of that!! Thanks sm!! And yeah, Dre is mine, but that original squad was a collaborative effort! 8u8/"

Throwing out ideas, what about a accidental double agent photographer? An idea of mine that I'm not confirming to be the plot. But they're just normal photographer student who gets word of an alternate world, and he's determined to wind up there to take the ultimate photo! :0 But once he accidentally finds himself in this world, he's caught between a war, and they both intergalactic sides take him in to spy for them. Fun back and fourth plot with a potential twist.

Not sure if this is a good idea, since this is a very old AU and one that was partially a collab (if I remember correctly), but I'd gladly see some spoofy shenans with Dre and the squad. Or maybe something else episodic, like one to two page shorts that could get a different topic each month. Either way, am really stoked about this idea. Can't wait to see whatever shape it'll take! <3

Thank you for answer
Melikas
It’s been years since we last spoke; She seemed a little overwhelmed. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s just disconnected for some space, given how demanding some people are.
Werner Helmut
I think you have been asked many times about, but there is no official information anywhere, so sorry. What happened to Staring Back? I heard that you corresponded with her via e-mail, did she tell you something about leaving, or did she suddenly leave?
Melikas
What’s up? :0c
Werner Helmut
Oh, okay. Can i ask u a question? It’s off topic, but i must to know
Melikas
That’ll be a good way to start! Maybe the first poll then can be something like “is this comic original or based off a series?”
Roninja
This sounds like such a fun, interactive idea! I love it, thanks!! We should decide if it will be original or off another series first. I love Undertale, but we could possibly take this in any direction. :3
Melikas
I love them all!!!! I can absolutely put up some of these as suggestions in a poll for people to decide on!! Thanks so much hamel!!! The crossover themes sound like so much fun! xDc
Melikas
Sooner or later updates monthly;; Any preview pages haven't been posted here to patreon this past month bc the deadline on my current job's comic is next week and i've been busy ><" Once the deadline is up, I'll have an immense amount of space freed up in my schedule. I'll have plenty of time to work on other projects! This comic idea isn't meant to be a huge undertaking, just something fun I can do to connect with you guys.
Werner Helmut
To be honest, I don't like the idea of a new comic. Feels like you're taking on even more projects so you don't touch "sooner or later" you've done a great job, but it's not finished yet

Fun! I'd be down for an Undertale/Deltarune theme. It would be cool to see the gang in different "styles." Thanks to 'Sooner or Later,' we've seen the American 1920's style (which always looks AMAZING), but there are others like cyberpunk, medieval, Western, Japanese folklore, Victorian, etc. Another idea is getting meta as heck and have video game crossovers (Pokemon, Zelda, Cuphead, etc). Hijinks could definitely ensue... I'd also be up for something simpler as well, but these are just some random ideas :)

That is awesome! Let the shenanigans begin! Lolz
Melikas
Thank you too for the wonderful idea!!! My art enjoys you too!!!! <3 <3 <3
Symphony
Thank you for taking this idea into consideration I also really enjoy your art. :)
Melikas
Ooo thank you so much for your idea, it sounds very thoughtful!!! I'll probably have to play or watch a playthrough of deltarune, first!! LOL! I like the au idea though!! Maybe we can collectively come up with an au idea together... Hmmm!
Symphony
Ik I don't have many ideas but what if in a different au frisk is the mother of Chris (deltarune) and had to be Given up for adoption to Toriel and its a goofy story about how he comes to find his bio mother after the adventure of opening himself up to his friends in the dark realm. (Chris being a introverted character and maybe mute?)
Melikas
lmao for sure lemme know if you think of anything!! I was just spitballing some examples in the post but I wonder if I ought to start off simple with, for example, Frisk falling down the mountain and landing in the pile of flowers, and then open up a poll for each following page...! Hm!
Zuviele (Kim)
Ooo...sounds fun! Goofy comic, huh? I don't have much ideas right now, but they'll come to me. Lolz
