My reasoning isn’t so much for the teams, but rather… I like the relationship between Krystal and Panther better than the one between Krystal and Fox. Panther is a more datey type of man (one I’d love to date, in fact) while Fox (After Adventures) is too uptight and focuses on his work. Should the game writers have kept Fox’s personality to what it was during Adventures when he was quite the most interesting person, I would have thought Krystal and Fox would have made a cute item, but he grew boring and serious after that game.
Not to mention that in the likely-noncanonable Star Fox Command, Krystal has shown better buddy-buddy connections with Star Wolf than she ever had with the Good guys. Some of the stories have her joining fox in later halves, but she and Fox broke up before the game even started, and half the time, that doesn’t really change.

I’m thinking of using less flat colors in future pages so i can focus more on shading. don’t know if this will work out or not, but I’ll be experimenting with some things for the duration of the 3-page intermission coming up.
A few days ago, I went to the indie marketplace on Xbox Live and I browsed under “Z”. This is what I found:
Some free hosters DO allow you to slap your own advertisement spaces on your pages and even a donation-soliciting paypal button. ComicFury lets you do it for free, Smackjeeves requires a paid account, I don’t know how others work. Those three ad squares on http://highlyexperimental.net are from my own project wonderful account, and the banner near the comment is voluntary CF advertisement (Kyo helped me settle in so much, so I volunteered his ad on my page)
If you do ever want to move to a private site eventually for egotistical reasons, there’s no harm in doing that aside from lugging your whole archive.
When do I start, y’know, actually talking about my ideas and characters in my comic that I’ve been developing for I believe a year now?
Cause I have to get people pumped about it at some point, I can’t just drop money on a site (which I still have to do research for) to host the comic if no one…
You have a pretty big fanbase so pre-comic hype should not be an issue. That’s where you get your starting readerbase. The others will come as you post your comic and promote it.
For hosting, I recommend the same thing to everyone: COMICFURY. It’s ad free, completely customizable, and has readers with a wide range of interests (as Smackjeeves is more yaoi-centric and Drunk Duck is full of dramawhores) so you’ll have an audience no matter what. If you get a domain, the admin will slap it on your comic page.
I prefer hosts over private servers myself. As someone who has the popularity of Daffy Duck when on stage next to Bugs Bunny, a webcomic host gave me lots of exposure because updates appear on the front page and there’s a nice forum community where artists mingle
private server webcomics are also bland because most of them just recolor the default comicpress layout but apparently, hosting a comic on your own server makes you trendy
Anyway, the time to do a comic is now. Don’t wait until “my art gets better” or “i have more fans” or “i feel ready”. The longer you wait, the longer you’ll be without a comic and the longer it will take for that comic to be regularly read by thousands of people. The only excusable reason to stall a comic is planning phases like script writing or refining your concept art for references.
tldr you’ll be fine.
You probably figured that out already in your message center by now, though.
I went and changed mine:
cammiluna is now Cammiluna.
Have a nice day.
Also, since I’ve been wondering, do you use a storyboard/script to plan the plot, or do you make things up as you go?
This was asked on the site earlier today.
I have a written document of the main points that happen both in each chapter, as well as bigger events for the story as a whole. Sometimes I will make note of particular lines I want someone to say, but otherwise, this is just a list of actions with no words. … Except maybe, “they talk about science” or “riveting discussion about the clock”.
Then I draw the thumbnails of about 5 pages at a time to plan out how I want each shot to work, and then the dialogue is made up as I go.
Scripts don’t work for me because I hate reading scripts (nothing against them, just personal taste). I can’t imagine what’s going on as these guys are yapping because I’m just staring at the format and it’s hard to deduce what it’s going to look like as comic panels. If I draw the actions first, I can arrange the shots however I want, and this inspires better dialogue.
But as I said, it’s the main points that are planned out. I have a general idea for small happenings between them, but those holes are generally filled as I go along (usually by the time I get to those points, I have much better ideas for them). And sometimes things don’t work out as I’m drawing them, and I make changes as that happens.
