linktr.ee/ageofanimalism

To avoid spamming OC thread I'm starting discussion here for anyone interested, also AoA art/fanart thread.

Age Of Animalism is a comics series I started in 2021, its Sonic SATAM inspired Anthro universe that mixes up all the stuff I enjoy into it so there's a lot of video games, anime, movie inspired stuff or just straight up references.

I always enjoyed comics, after seeing One Punch Man (webcomic) and Sonichu I decided to make my own, now after few series I started drawing my own. Because of IRL the updates range from weekly to monthly per page.

Its open universe anybody can join creativly and make their own stories, it already have fan novel series (characters from it have already crossover in main comics) and some fancomics.

Summary: Salamandy is a geeky newt asked by Humdrum town militia to help them with newly found mysterious gate from the past that requires someone tech-savy, what it leads too is a major discovery that can destroy their world.
>Sonichu
I see you chose a stable foundation.

Current world is similar to a mashup of our 1890s and 1990, this means there are a few large cities in each country, plenty of towns, small towns, villages but mostly large empty spaces between them of wilderness, deserts, etc. with very poor roads and infrastructure, all of it makes travel long and harsh. 

Techwise its 80s-90s but communication between locations is still hard which is why sending letters is most common way of communication on long distance despite existence of proto-internet.
Motor vehicles, firearms, electronics all exist in this world but level of their advancement depends on region.
For example The Big City is the most modern place on earth, Humdrum a bit behind but places like Drywick Flats or Ruby Hollow lag more behind with having more 1890s tech of wild west or victorian due to their circumstances.

World map is still work in progress but as of now Aster Union is based on America, Kosmos Republic on Europe and Selene Kingdom on Middle East/Western parts of Asia, The Big City is built on 4 large islands and acts as own independent state, very powerful with strict border control.

So far from spin offs there's:

AoA: Maybe Tomorrow [4 novels]
AoA: Philophobia
AoA: Abandoned and Vintage
AoA: Anthologies

the plan is for the characters from fan spin offs to appear in main story somewhere down the line and maybe even take part in grand finale.
Relative to just drawing, what are the challenges in making a comic? I know you need to think about writing and how to organize your story visually. How hard is it to just drawing one offs?

Staying focused and interested, as an amateur its really easy to get distracted by new shiny idea because its always easier to start than keep going.

Drawing same character over and over can get tiring if you like the design at first but then not drawing it a lot.

I compare my writing to hoops the story has to jump through, I plan out all major events and plotlines but keep path between them vague since I change my mind often right before which caused major improvements to original version.

One shots are much easier since you just close it when youre done with the story and you dont have to think "how does it affect the bigger picture?"

That's really clever actually, and gives you a lot of freedom with a more vague story.

Oh, thanks, never used much of image boards.

It actually changed the course of the story a few times and improved it by including new elements with stuff like "OH WAIT, THAT CHARACTER IS IN THAT PLACE TOO!"
and it all sticks into place.

>>3710
I wouldnt if I didnt, there are rough patches here and there while making it but every time I look back at the path behind me so far Im a bit impressed but not in big ego way.

I have planned out major and minor plot points and treat them like hoops to jump through while making it that way its more flexible and sometimes story changes because of how characters position themselves in it.

For example Agatha was not suppose to be inside Town Hall during Badonka vs Baboon duel when I first planned out that fight, but then realized that since she hid in unspecified place but near that building I could insert her to add spice to that whole thing.
