Protip: it's only a crime if there's someone left to say so

Lovely and Miraculous Ladybug team-up or fusion vs Hawkmoth and Moth Macabre

Thing I'm working on, if anybody has a suggestion on how Firebug should look, or what the background should be, I'm all ears.

>>149583085
>helmet says "do not shoot"

Ergo, nothing wrong with that.

>>149583411
We're getting into the real weird Silver Age shenanigans now.

>>149583886
Here's a Firebug ref. He has flamethrowers concealed up the wide sleeves. His gimmick involves burning real estate to free up the land for cheap sale, so a warehouse or tenement would be a sensible location for him to battle Mantis.

>>149584380
Thanks for the ref!
>a warehouse or tenement would be a sensible location
Noted.

Afternoon bump

Greetings /coc/
We are exactly one month away from The Dynamo League's Second Anniversary on August 27th, and I am preparing something for this anniversary. Hopefully, it will go well!

Also, I apologize for not being active in the last thread, but I decided to redraw an old Human version Willow art from March, and I like the results kek.

>>149585428
for comparison
Here's the original drawing from March

>>149585428
>>149585454
Now that's quite the improvement! You're doing great, DA. New one looks kinda stretched though.

How do you guys even come up with stuff, especially of the superhero variety? I feel like every possible original name or variation thereof has long since been taken.

>>149585563
You have to go dumber.
So dumb that the big two won't stoop to it (yet), then build up from there. It's how we get things like Captain Stocking Arms that then branches out in the full on space part of the setting.

Or change your approach. Trying to be original on purpose is hard for some people, but it is easier to take something that already exists, cull the parts you don't like, retell it, then re-do the retelling with different names and powers. The new powers change the story accordingly and just like that you suddenly have the groundwork for something that can be original.

There are a lot of methods like that.

>>149585563
A lot of my starting points are puns. Like Diving Belle, the Southern belle with water powers.

Animals are also good, ex. Ladybug, Mantis, Firebug. Often these come with a good color scheme already picked out.

>>149556150
>What would Crackdown say then, if anything?

Most likely something along the lines of "What is this?" in a dispassionate yet still somewhat intimidating way.
Frank can try and pull Arthur's leg by answering vaguely enough without outright lying, he knows he's gonna find out eventually anyway.

>>149585563
Nothing is created, everything is copied.

>>149585539
Thanks a lot
>New one looks kinda stretched though.
Stretched?
>>149585563
i was going to give my personal but i see that anons gave more valuable and reliable advice and nothing i can add


also i can imagine Joe telling Willow to cover herself
>"You shouldn’t be going out with your cleavage showing like this. It’s inappropriate and I expect you to dress more modestly."
>"But Daaad"
>"Willow Filbert! Cover yourself this instant!"

Also i hate when i have to color the beaver tail since i still trying to figure out a good way to do that

>>149585997
Hmm.
"What's the con this time, Frank?"
"Just liberating some innocent sea creatures."

How does that work for you?

>>149586209
>Stretched?
Well, she's just very wide. Here for example,it's the exact same image, only with a smaller width. Now, I'm no pro artist, but I think it looks more natural like this, you know? Please don't take this as an insult, I think you have skill and you're getting better each thread.

>>149586472
Yeah this works.

>>149585969
>Often these come with a good color scheme already picked out.
I know it's such an obvious thing but now that you point it out, yeah, nature really has great color coordination.

Night bump!

Anotha drawpile! Instructions on the pic op the left

url: https://drawpile.net/invites/friendly-drawing.crabdance.com/Ladybug:69yyshpw?web&nsfm

pw: butts

Come and draw or just hang out!

Wonder if that one anon from last thread will show up?

>>149587756
Best to leave a message here that I'm gonna be late for today's pile, away from home right now.

>>149587848
No pressure, anon, we have these things go on for awhile so there's a good chance you'll be able to make it.

>>149587861
Well, I suppose it gives me time to come up with an idea.

>>149586592
OK.

So do you think there should be a new page inserted after page 11 where Crackdown, after ripping the Bloom off of Derek, tears into Frank for getting involved with something so dangerous?
Do you think Arthur would know what Blooms are? Or did he just see enough of what it was capable of to get really pissed off that Frank was going to do anything at all with them?

I don't want to go full exposition with this possible new page.

>>149586559
Oh, I see now, and yeah, it kind of looks better like that. And don't worry, I'm not mad; I was only confused kek

>>149585563
I try to aim for something catchy. Which there are many ways to accomplish:

>Take an already existing word and add a new simple meaning to it:
Jackhammer = Jack (character) hammer (his weapon) = JackHammer. The joke is that the character is pretty simple minded and went literal with 0 creativity.

>Same as above, but you can edit the word to sound cooler
Kill the feed = cut the filming of a live performance, KillFeed = deadly TV host

>Use idioms or expressions, there are already popular so basing a character around one can come off more naturally
Once in a blue moon = Blue Moon

>Alliteration, hard to go wrong with those
Moth Macabre

I pitched many names before, but not all of them stuck. You also need to push for the character you come up with.

>>149587684
Double Up!

>>149588666
Glad to hear, maybe it's something to do with how you export the pictures?

>>149589434
Triple down

Holy shit guys, please try not to die while I sleep.

>>149590840
I can't make any promises on that. /co/'s speed is far too volatile.

>>149588666
That image also looks like it got squished.

Dug this one out as a reference for the 'pile.
Spoilered just in case.

>>149583060
>If the thread dies suddenly or you still want to discuss something when there's no thread:
>https://boards.plus4chan.org/coc/

Yeah about that, plus4chan seems to have been down for a few days, now

>>149590840
Don't worry I I'll be up all night tonight.

>>149591940
They're just doing server maintenance right now. The developer said he had to rebuild some archives.

>>149592029
Night off is something I wish I had.

>>149592591
Very nice, gothley in living color. Or undead color.

>>149592029
Counting on you soldier.

Yeah, I'm also going to bed now.

I'm hoping to get more feedback on the Crackdown vs JackHammer script this week. I'd like to address the pacing issues an anon brought up last thread if they can tell me where they're at.
As well as continue the conversation with the Crackdown anon to address the lack of character dialogue.

The pieces are all there and n the right order, it's just a matter of polish now, which unfortunately always seems to take the most time. I assume we're just in exact opposite time zones.

>>149592591
Hell yeah!

>>149593191
>I assume we're just in exact opposite time zones
Well, there's that, yes, but there are also those technical issues I mentioned a while back; there are stretches of time when I'm simply unable to post on 4chan that come and go randomly.
Also, sometimes it just takes a bit for me to formulate my own thoughts in a certain way.

Morning bump
Told you I be up.

>>149586209
Cute!
i want to cuddle her
also you made her thicc!
>>149588666
oh i like her too
damn good designs
>>149592591
that's cool!

Good morning /coc/, hope you guys had a good breakfast.

>>149593857
Once plus4chan is back up, we could use that if regular 4chan is giving you issues.

>>149596048
Plus is pretty cool from what little I've used it, cool how much history is on there.

>>149596469
It's been around for 19 years and has two sets of old archives for the /coc/ board on it. If we (collectively) had used it more then less stuff would've been forgotten.
Especially that annoying 2009 - 2010 gap.

>>149595789
Still pecking away at leftover pizza. Just had a rough week of tacked-on-at-the-last-minute-chores.

apologies to everyone whose doodles i moved around, we needed some real estate freed up for MGGE's bit

>>149598369
So much bug butt! This is the best pile I've seen!
you missed a sketch layer there...

>>149598501
Whoops. Guess you can tell how often I'm the one delivering the pile.

>>149598898
Don't worry about it, it's only noticeable on TK's fur.

>>149598369
We really don't know much about Teo.
If he wants comradery in his position, he'll have to be the one to build or recruit them himself since his boss is terrible.

>>149598369
A fantastic job by everyone!

>>149598369
Great pile

>>149596048
It has something to do with my ip whitelisting from what I understand, so it's not even 4chan-specific. I think I'll just try and change my internet provider once I get the time and just hope it helps.
>>149588092
It probably makes sense for him to not know about Bloom from get-go, mutant jellyfish is a bit of a higher ballbark territory for him (fighting demons notwithstanding).

>>149600252
With Derek on the floor after getting the Bloom removed and all eyes on him, would Crackdown say something like
>"What the hell, Frank? That's not an ordinary jellyfish sting."
or would he be more like
>"That doesn't look good. You should turn yourselves in now and get him treated."
or would he pick up more on the "mind assimilation" comment from Paulie before saying anything else?
>"As if you couldn't stoop any lower. 'Mind assimilation', Frank?"

How much does Frank care about his guys vs getting the pay day? Would he try sucker punching Crackdown?

>>149600460
Feels like Crackdown's responses here should be more laconic since he actually has a great deal of contempt towards Frank, they are not buddy-buddy like Ladybug and Diego.
>Crackdown inspects Derek's wounds as he kneels down and lifts him by the collar
>suddenly, he lets go and turns towards Frank
>Crackdown: "What the hell is this, Frank?"
>*thunk*
>Derek: "...ow."

>how much does Frank care about his guys vs getting the pay day?
Frank is very much "sink or swim" kind of person, in no small part because he personally never had much trouble "swimming" due to his natural gifts. He won't get his men killed for no reason, but you better not be a liability to him.
>would he try sucker punching Crackdown
Oh yes, he would.
I don't know about this situation in particular, but he's definitely not above that.

>>149592591
fucking great

now draw goth marley lewds

>>149600870
OK. So maybe something like

Page 12-1
Panel 1
Crackdown is knelt down next to Derek, he has one of his hands on Derek's face pulling back his eyelid to see his pupils. Derek is groaning. Paulie is side-eyeing CD, but hasn't made a move.

Panel 2
Crackdown has turned from Derek and Paulie and is eyeing Frank now, he has a raised clenched fist with his left hand and is gesturing behind him with his right hand. In the background Derek is using his uninjured arm to hold his head.
Derek, weakly: "Jackass..."
Crackdown: "What they hell is this, Frank? You're looking to unleash *this* on the city now?"
Frank: "Well, ideally no, not me specifically. Whatever the buyer does with them is their own business, as long as we get paid."

Panel 3
Frank is in the middle of doing a lunging tackle towards Crackdown, his arms are outstretched looking to wrap around CD's neck. CD already has a fist raised ready to meet Frank's face.
Frank: "AND YOU'VE ALREADY COST US HALF THE GOODS!"

Panel 4
Frank is trying to grapple CD who is holding back one of Frank's arms while punching him in the stomach with the other.

Panel 5
Focus is shifted downwards where only Crackdown and Frank's legs are in frame. Paulie is trying to drag Derek away from the scramble. In the background part of Bull-E can be seen working is way off-panel.

>>149598369

>>149583060
man when will plus4chan stop being dead
i need it for reasons

>>149602819
>man when will plus4chan stop being dead

current word from the host is that the servers are at the new locations, and are being currently reconfigured since the networks got all shuffled.

>>149602500
That sounds simple enough, you could probably do it yourself.

>>149603503
We are talking a full server closet with a dozen racked 4u storage servers and remote managed switches. I wouldn't even dare to touch it since it costs more than my house.

>>149603605
Uh... you can use the crop tool of your image editor of preference, then paint the borders white, I don't think that costs anything...

>>149603717
whoops, my mistake, I thought you were quoting a different post.

>>149602365
Late night bump.

Gonna hit the sack, goodnight /coc/.

Hi guys, today I have another funny update, now this one takes place during volume 7 (In the meantime), I am not sure if Maddie will appear again in IHF (Aside from an issue in untold tales that implies that she still hates Gert), so when she learns that Gert is going to go to the premiere of the in-universe I Hate Fairyland movie she makes a plan to kill Gert in the most over the top way possible, the problem is that she and her allies are completely unaware that Mom Gert, Larry and Happy left the theatre because the movie contains nudity and Mom Gert would not allow her daughter to see that, and the actress that portrays Gert is in her Gert costume so they think that Gert is still in the theatre, enjoy, and remember to watch Inglorious Basterds.
https://youtu.be/Y4P14KKcKF4?t=40
>(LAUGHING) "Extraordinary, just extraordinary! This is our greatest movie yet!"
>'Thank you, bro. Thank you.'
>A bit later
>"I HATE FAIRYLAND"
>'And I hate you, Gert'
>????
>'And you are going to die'
>"Enough! Stop it!"
>"Turn off the projector!"
>'And I want you to look deep into the face of the one who is going to do it!'
>"What the fluff is going on? That does not belong in our movie!"
>'Now, burn it down.'
>"Yes, Maddie"
>FWOOOOOOOOOMMMMM
>'HAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHA'
>"THE THEATRE IS BURING"
>TATATATATATATATATA
>LAVOOOOOM

>FWOOOM
>TATATATATATATATATATATTA
>HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA
>TATATATATATATATATATATTA
>DING
>BOOOM BOOOM
>BOOOM
>AAAAHHHH

>>149606256
Imagine how kissed Maddie is going to be in Fairyland Hell upon realizing that her plan was a colossal failure since Gert is still alive.

>>149599133
It's possible that Teo likes building machines, and Tennoc found them too cold and impersonal for his crew, so Teo joined Quaslan who liked the efficiency and power he could create. I could imagine he's just sort of nervous in general, too, and maybe the big friendly crew was too much to deal with. Besides, we don't see if Quaslan is mean to him ALL the time, or just when she's trying to get shit done. For all we know she generally respects his work but just has her usual temper issues, and that's why he sticks with her.

>>149598369
Impressive amount of butts

>>149606776
Maybe Teo was an engineer making the drones that help do the maintenance on The Black Star and Quaslan took an interest in the drones, always doing their tasks, never complaining, efficient, and then gang pressed Teo into her crew.

>>149601213
That's cool.

>>149608223
Thanks.
Though I don't know if Crackdown anon is looking for something else in the scene.

I might scrap panel 6 on page 11 since it feels somewhat excessive now.

>>149608404
I am Crackdown anon.

>>149608707
OK.
So moving on from that point, is that page enough additional dialogue for that scene? Should anything on page 12 (which will get renumbered as 13 later) be altered like what Crackdown is thinking as he see's Bull-E escape with another Bloom specimen?
Currently the line is
>"I can't let that thing loose in the city, I need to finish this quickly and chase him down."

Then after that, what changes would you suggest to his other internal thoughts when observing the football team's practice?

And I really have to go to bed now. It's almost 2am here.

>>149608758
>then after that, what changes would you suggest to his other internal thoughts when observing the football team's practice?
Nothing else that I haven't mentioned up to this point, really.

Oh, and goodnight.

Good morning! Brush those teeth and splash some water on your face!

G'morning /coc/, how do you guys like your coffee?

>>149610990
I usually drink tea, but I can go for a cup of cappuccino once in a while. I was in the "no cream, no sugar" camp once, but I I've outgrown that mindset.

>>149598369
Whose hardly?

>>149610990
I usually take it black, but have been having iced coffee as of late, don't like waiting for it to cool as of late, i suppose

>>149611182
HardlyWorthit, one of the newest addition to the /coc/ drawpiles. He's been making doodle for the threads outside of the thread, so you've seen him around.

>>149598501
Ah, shoot. You want me to get them out?

>>149583053 (OP)
A hidden village for people with ethical upbringings but unethical powers hiding from villains who would want to recruit them.

>>149611204
>You want me to get them out?
Eh, if you can be bothered that would be nice, but it's not like it ruins the drawing, just makes it feel out of place.

>>149609034
So you're fine with the way that part of the script is?

>>149611398

>>149611674
Ay! Now that's clean, thanks.

>>149611638
Sure man, go for it.
Honestly you got me thinking about my own writing and how I can't commit to any one idea. I've been in a rut with drawing recently, so maybe it might be a good time to work on that.

>>149611940
Don't collapse in on yourself like that.
Wanting to improve is good, but don't let me run roughshod with your guy if you feel he's not being written the way you envision him.

You were saying before that Arthur's internal dialogue about the team's future was too on the nose. So how would his mind go about warping the situation to be more than it is? If that's even what he would do in the early days.

If might help if you came up with a plot outline for Crackdown. Like how many stories he would have before going back to college, at what points his main villains would be introduced, and what events happen to him that cause his character development.
I know it's overly broad advice, but having a skeleton outline always helps me see where the story is going and what needs to happen to get there or what needs to change to make the story you want to tell work.

>>149603503
>>149603605
I know it was just a misunderstanding, but this interaction was really funny.

You must live, /coc/.

A question: are all y'all the same anons from the How's Your Webcomic threads? Are these threads sort of interchangeable then

>>149614867
I can't speak for anyone else but I am not in those threads anymore and haven't been for years.

>>149614867
I myself am not. I do want to make a webcomic in the future, but the future is not right now.

>>149614867
No, the difference is tha How's Your Webcomic is for *your* webcomic. It's that individual's project. These threads, for better or worse, are a community toy chest where anyone can have creative input.

>>149612149
>don't let me run roughshod with your guy if you feel he's not being written the way you envision him
Dude, I'm just a happy you are writing this at all. Every time one of anons here engages with my characters and ideas out of their own volition is an actual occasion for me. Just like how you feel hesitant to take Crackdown in a direction I may not approve of, so do I when it comes to potentially strongarming the story just because it uses shit I've come up with. I've given my opinion and the rest is on you.

Maybe it's the time to bite the bullet and try to produce as much OC as I am able to while I still can. Due to the recent governmental initiatives around the world, I'm now not only doubting whether or not I'll be able to post on 4chan in the future, but also if the Internet at large will not change drastically after a year or two.

Is plus4chan down for everyone or is it just me? Its been a few days now.

>>149615826
We've talked about it, server maintenance supposedly.

>>149614867
Can't say I am, no. There were some anons in those threads who's comics I still follow, but since I'm not making drawn art comics it isn't my scene.

>>149615749
I get that, but I still want to collaborate with you on this. Having someone to talk to who gives feedback on whatever I'm currently writing is really what keeps me motivated to stick with a project.

You gave me your opinion on some of it, but I still like to pick your brain on it since I want this to be a quality script and not something I feel I half-assed. I have the guy (you) who knows what Crackdown's thinking right here in the threads, so that's a major resource for this story.

>>149614867
no, but some of the same anons pops up in woya threads

>>149615749
>spoiler
I feel you, all I want is to have a good time with anons but I have the creeping feeling that's gonna be taken away from me in the near future.

>>149617154
but of course, we try to keep everything put on there, minus sketch layers but even then we'd keep them if the anon asks

>>149617154
I'd love to see you draw something bigger and more elborate on the piles anon, but I wholy understand if you can't or aren't wiling to.

Night bump!

>>149620448
Believe me you are not the only one.

The choices are to either wait until it all comes back, or to restore a backup from a day before it went down, losing 1 day of data.

>>149603120
did something happened?

>>149621018
Host is moving datacenters, and the truckers fucked things up so now the servers are in the wrong country. I swear I'm not making this up.

What we do have is the data slabs being at the right place, which include the backups. So either provision a new VPS and restore a backup (we lose 1 day of posts), or wait.

>>149621113
>Host is moving datacenters, and the truckers fucked things up so now the servers are in the wrong country. I swear I'm not making this up.
fucking what lmao

>showing her bare knees
What a slut!

>>149622260
It's interesting to me how quickly Sharpshipper caught on.
Was it the concept playing off of something familiar? The design? The puns? She feels like a throwback to an older era of /coc/ in some ways.

>>149622745
I know foot fetish is a thing, but is it weird if I want to kiss her knees?

>>149622759
>She feels like a throwback to an older era of /coc/ in some ways.
In a sense she is. She's a direct lampooning of internet culture, specifically fujoshis, in the same way Samefag and many of the other Sageworthies are parodies of their own things. Not all such parodies hit, but that the intersection with military hardware seems to have found her a home.

>>149622819
It's on a knee'd to know basis.

>>149622819
Kinda, but it's not *too* weird as long as you don't want to see her knees monstrously inflated like that guy from deviantart.
>>149622759
It's a mystery.

>>149621113
This is ridiculous and it happened at the worst possible time for me.

>>149623694
want to kiss all of those faces.

>>149623722
how so?

>>149615749
So anyway, I'm going over the script some more and I'm going to ask you how you'd write some of what Crackdown is saying or thinking.

On page 18 of the current pastebin script when JH is chasing CD next to the practice field, CD is thinking
>"This guy in his makeshift gear... He probably has friends, family, aspirations. I only have this mask. He's just like that punk's teammates."
The intent of the line is clear, but it's clunky. Is there a better way to convey that CD is projecting onto JH all the things that he feels he's lacking? This is from a brief interaction between the two, so CD's points of reference are practically nothing. I'd like a way for the line to more naturally convey that he's getting in his own head about JH or not thinking rationally.

Then on page 25 I have CD saying
>"I don't need your help! I'm protecting this city MY way! I don't need someone who doesn't THINK running around screwing up how I do things!"
Is that how he would phrase how he doesn't like unexpected super visitors?
This is after the Bloom has been recovered and Jack is offering him a hand to help him up since Crackdown is injured.
Would he be more angry about someone butting in on his 'turf" or more angry because he couldn't deal with JackHammer as easily as he does criminals?
I feel his source of anger is important here.

Then on page 26 while Arthur is laying in bed recovering I have him thinking
>"Why... didn't I say something?"
This is in regards to Jack asking him why he didn't just explain the danger of the situation in the first place. Would he reflect more on not projecting his issues/assumptions onto other people since it caused him a lot of unnecessary fuss and pain?

Good night /coc/

>>149623694
I think this looks a bit too much like Miraculous Ladybug.

>>149624175
>the intent of the line is clear, but it's clunky. Is there a better way to convey that CD is projecting onto JH all the things that he feels he's lacking?
Well, it doesn't really come off as projection, as he's literally punching down on himself in the second sentence. Projection is something that people with little to no self-awareness suffer from, while Arthur at times suffers from having way too much of it. Try making his perception of Jack a bit more emotionally driven and drop "all I have is a mask" stuff, it's really something that should be shown rather than spelled out.
>is that how he would phrase how he doesn't like unexpected super visitors?
I feel like the focus here should rather be more on the people who live in the city or how dangerous Dan's men are. As someone was born in one overseas country and raised in another, Arthur doesn't feel that much pride or attachment towards Quemar that characters like Batman or Daredevil do with their corrupt slums, he simply doesn't want people near his current place of residence being victimised. Not to say that he doesn't care at all about it, he just doesn't view it as his "adoptive homeland" or what have you.
>would he reflect more on not projecting his issues/assumptions onto other people since it caused him a lot of unnecessary fuss and pain?
Realistically, this is the part where Arthur's rational mind really kicks in. Even despite having negative feelings towards Jack, he should take a real good look at himself here and events that have transpired. So, less "why didn't I say anything" and more "this wasn't the correct course of action".

>>149624139
>how so?
Well, it's ridiculous because I find truckers accidentally taking the serves to the wrong country like something out of a sitcom, and it happened at the worst possible time for me cause I really need to use the site, even though I usually don't.

>>149583053 (OP)
Has there been an attempt to make a /co/ project that’s grounded, serious, and straight with it from beginning to end?

>>149627396
noice.
but if we are going R.Mika moves, I'd rather have her do the censored ass slap.

The internet has really gone to shit just now.

>>149627536
Why?

>>149627462
I can get to that only in the evening, got stuff to do, sorry.

>>149627546
Data harvesting, surveillance and censorship.

Also +4 being dead so long.

>>149622819
People forget that before ass and breast were super fetishized in media. A mofos used to get off to bare ankles and ungloving of female hands, it's all about perspective anon

>>149627819
As long as its ungloving of female hands you get off to, and not degloving

>>149627570
That sounds great to me as long as you will indeed get to that in the evening.

>>149627852
You know, I only understand what that means because a friend of mine used that term to describe something in a recent anime.

>>149627819
I feel like they only got off to that because women showed as little skin as possible in Victorian era culture for a long time.
But even that period of time was just a blip in the line of human history. Tits and ass were the main focus anywhere that wasn't trying to be a hyper suppression society.

Noon bump.

Post-noon bump.

>>149583053 (OP)
What's the deal with the characters in OP's pic?

>>149629646
its the liberty lass and general freedom

>>149629646
The guy is General Freedom. He was created for the Lovely Ladybug comic and is a mix of Captain America and Superman. He's the founder and leader of the Justice Coalition. He's graying by the time of modern day and has been beaten down but not defeated by the cynicism gripping the modern world.

The girl is his sidekick, Liberty Lass. She's a living dynamo able to generate near endless energy which she focuses into a torch. She was the leader of the Youth Coalition until the 90s when accusations of child soldiers, identity leaks, and overall bad PR shut the teen branch of the Justice Coalition down, which created a rift between her and General Freedom. Other stuff happened to her during her adult life.

Both of them have pages on the wiki.

>>149629737
>He was created for the Lovely Ladybug comic
I forget about this fact sometimes, I know it says so right on the wiki, but still, bad memory on my part.

>>149627852
>>149627931
Do I even want to know...?

>>149630577
It's when the skin gets completely ripped off the hand as if removing a glove.
Like skinning a rabbit, but I don't think that's possible with a human hand outside of very extreme circumstances.

>>149630577
Degloving is a serious concern for quite a few careers, actually. My brother used to repair fighter jets for the Navy and he got his wedding ring tattooed on his hand because he didn't want to risk wearing a real one on the job site.

His then wife was actually missing a finger that she'd lost in the guts of an airplane's mechanisms. They had to model her hand so that her middle finger became her index.

a new Hill-Billie green!

>HILL-Billie: The Mystery of the Night Burglar
>The morning sun, filtered through the thick leaves outside her window, painted Grace's room in dappled light.
>She stretched, still half-asleep, the lingering unease from her nightmares about becoming a mud-covered hillbilly fading with the dawn.
>Just as she was contemplating the sheer luxury of a full eight hours of sleep without a single siren, Aunt Ellie's voice, warm and lilting as usual, drifted up from downstairs.
>"Grace, honey-child! Breakfas' is on the table, if you're ever gonna come on down!"
>Grace shuffled into the kitchen, still in her pajamas, rubbing sleep from her eyes.
>Aunt Ellie stood by the open refrigerator, a gentle yet firm expression on her face.
>"Mornin', darlin'. Now, if you ever get a hankerin' for a midnight snack, all you gotta do is ask your old auntie. No need to go makin' a mess like a coon dog in a garbage can."
>Grace blinked, fully awake now. The kitchen was a mess. A half-eaten biscuit lay on the counter, crumbs scattered like tiny, edible snow, and the butter dish was askew. "What? But that wasn't me!" she exclaimed, genuinely shocked.
>Aunt Ellie just chuckled, a soft, knowing sound.
>"Oh, you don't gotta be embarrassed, sweet pea. We all get the munchies sometimes. Just remember, next time, you just holler. No need to sneak 'round like a fox in the hen house." She winked, clearly thinking Grace was just too shy to admit to a late-night raid.
>Grace stared, utterly bewildered. It definitely wasn't her. She never ate in the middle of the night, and she certainly wouldn't leave such a chaotic trail.
>Could Aunt Ellie be a sleepwalker? Did she, in her Southern-accented slumber, raid the fridge and then forget? Or, a more unsettling thought, had a wild animal somehow managed to get inside the cabin?

>>149631017
>She shuddered. Shrugging it off as another Cowpie County peculiarity, Grace decided to document this oddity. Her diary, a sleek, leather-bound testament to her urban sensibilities, awaited her.
>Meanwhile, across the creek, at the heart of the muddiest farm in Cowpie County, Billie and Nellie were already hard at work.
>The sun had barely kissed the highest peaks, but the sounds of clucking chickens and grunting pigs were strangely muted.
>Nellie, a whirlwind of brown hair and boundless energy, was feeding the pigs, but even they seemed off. They usually stampeded the trough like a tiny, squealing avalanche, but today they just stared, wide-eyed and twitching.
>Billie, her hands already coated in a fine layer of chicken feed, was attempting to collect eggs from the coop. But the chickens… they were in a state of complete, feathery shock. They huddled in corners, clucking nervously, their eyes darting around as if a ghost had just offered them a banjo lesson. And not a single egg had been laid.
>"Nellie-bug!" Billie hollered, her voice thick with that deep Appalachian drawl, "Did you go an' scare these here critters yesterday? They're all spooked up like a long-tailed cat in a room full o' rockin' chairs!"
>Nellie, who had been meticulously arranging a pile of mud pies for the pigs, shook her head vigorously, a cascade of brown hair flopping over her eyes. She then pointed a tiny, mud-caked finger at Billie, then jabbed it repeatedly towards a suspicious cluster of muddy footprints near the chicken coop entrance. "You. Mud. No eggs." Her voice was quiet, a stark contrast to Billie's booming one, but her meaning was clear.
>Billie's brow furrowed. "What in the tarnation are you yammerin' 'bout, Nellie? You sayin' I spooked 'em? Don't you go tryin' to pin this on me, you little mud-sprite!" She felt a flash of irritation. Nellie was always trying to blame her for somethin'.

>>149631043
>Nellie, however, stood her ground, her small face earnest, her nose twitching as if she could smell the truth.
>She pointed to the mud spots again, then mimed Billie's mud-bending powers with exaggerated hand movements, a silent, expressive demonstration. "Big mud. Chickens run."
>Billie stared at the mud spots, then at her own hands, then back at the terrified chickens. A slow realization dawned on her face, like dawn breaking over a particularly stubborn mountain. Her eyes widened.
>"Dag-gummit," she muttered, a sheepish grin spreading across her face, revealing her missing tooth. "Well, I'll be. You're right, ain't ya? I reckon I did get a bit carried away with that new mud-sculptin' trick last night. My bad, little sister. My bad." She ruffled Nellie's hair, a rare moment of concession.
>"Now, what in the blazes spooked 'em so bad they ain't layin' no eggs?" Billie wondered aloud, looking around the suspiciously quiet farm. Her gaze drifted towards the creek, towards the cabin nestled in the trees.
>"Reckon that city gal, Grace, might know somethin' 'bout this. She went to them fancy city schools and got herself a computer. She probably knows everything."

>>149631064
Great stuff again, man. Maybe it's just my regretable lack of reading lately, but just these three posts already gripped me. Is Grace's diary a new addition? I don't remember if it was present in the older greens, but I like it! I feel like in due time it's gonna become a full on catalog of appalachian weirdness.

>>149627927
It's already nighttime over here, but would it be okay if I just posted a colored sketch? I do think it looks good enough like that, but it could also serve as temporary measure, so I don't leave you with nothing while I do the lineart. You saw I'm not the fastest, it could take me some time 'till I finish it.

>It's been a dog's age since I heard that one.
The hardest part was/is trying to write dialogue in a hillbily tongue and i still struggle with it even if i'm currently reading the comic Hillbilly and other Hillbilly media, so sorry if it sounds like a stereotype kek
>>149632610
>Great stuff again, man. Maybe it's just my regretable lack of reading lately, but just these three posts already gripped me.
thanks Anon, this made my day.
>Is Grace's diary a new addition?
it was a small detail cause i didn't know how to end her part but yeah, i think that i her diary will make it more important in the future, kinda like The Ghost Diary from Ghost Stories anime (the English dub is legendary btw)

>>149633454
There is a certain vernacular to the dialect that gives it distinction from the more dust bowl southern accents popularized by redneck truckers.
You wouldn't expect folks actually living in the hills to sounds like cops, lawyers, and judges either.

I assume the Hillbilly comic you mentioned is the one by Eric Powell. I don't recall which vowels or consonants he deliberately omitted from the characters' dialogue, but he was very consistent with it to get the type of accent across that he wanted.

>>149633283
Eh, I guess I'll just post it, if it looks weird let me know.
>>149633454
>I can't stay awake all night on a Sunday and i mostly join the pile to chat with other anons

I'm not sure if I can "show" Arthur being irrational in this situation, but maybe
>"This guy in his makeshift gear... He's probably just doing this for his own ego."
or
"He doesn't even look like he's taking this seriously. This is just a hobby for him, for cheep thrills."

Focus more on the people who live there. So less "this is mine" and more
>"I don't need your help! Do you even THINK about the potential consequences?! If that thing got lose in the city, then what? Or worse if made it onto the black market!"

OK, so Arthur's rational brain.
>"I was too emotional. I did not make the best call."

More like those?

It has to have some padding in all directions if for no other reason than safety, adding fire retardants, or to keep warm during winter.

The host got access and is remotely transferring the servers right now, so it should be up "soon". Now it's just a question of how fast the data can be transferred (I was told it's over 80TB, but a lot of it is empty data so it can be compressed well, one node only took 1-2 hours to transfer).

Thank you very much anon.

It was me, HardlyWorthit >>149611204 I've done some other stuff too.

They say that superman represents hope so which character in the /coc/verse can be considered a symbol of hope?
And also what other characters represent in your opinion?

>>149641721
Reminder that smoking is a nasty habit.

>>149642392
Don't worry, I was merely refering to his annoyed expression. My grandma taught me very early that nicotine is a vice.

Early bump.

>>149642359
I feel like no one character in the setting represents hope.
Maybe the floating city itself is a symbol of hope for some? But the issue with symbols is they can represent something very different depending on the person.

>>149631017
Great stuff also man hill billie might truly be the new /coc/ thing swear has the most fanart of any of the newer concepts.

Also happy grace finally has some fanart

>>149639620
So, is Marls flat as flat can be? Like, not even some tiny buds on her chest?

>>149643818
Feels like that varies from artist to artist, honestly.

>>149643903
I suppose, isn't that one of /coc/'s qualities? The toy box aspect.

>>149638571
>more like those?
Yeah, that seems alright.
Dunno how much more direction I can provide without it going into straight up co-writing territory.

pic related, a scenario i'm inserting my char's into.

Need suggestions for a story i'm writing co/ Using Silly tavern to create character card of the two main protags and their relationship.

It's a kid hero named Hammerspace Halo, and the cosmic horror living girlfriend living in her head and posing as a supervillain named Evil Ella. the names can change idk

Lovecraft lite entity Ella projects her Villainous form into Halo's world from her own galaxy within Hammer space Halo's....hammerspace where the kid's brain should be.
Her purpose? to tease the support hero into going out with her on a date.
Except, Hammerspace halo is a valuble support hero, acting as a bag of holding for everyone but herself. The only offencive attack Halo has is the ability to pull a mallet of any size out of the top of her head. This mallet can get pretty big, larger then the moon if she wants. Otherwise her main utility is being able to pull out all the hero gear they've stuffed her head with, and any horrifying tech or people too dangerous to keep in their world.

A popular child hero now highschool girl being romanced by a supervillain? Why is she kidnapped so often? Do these tentacles make my ass look fat?

>>149645004
For /co and raisin appreciators i will also be including a separate card with Hammer space halo. Yuri fangirl dtf with the Eldritch fetish woman despite a larger age gap then mentioned here. For the fans.

>>149640797
Most of it would be more like insulation for the sake of the circuitry. You definitely want a little if you're gonna be flying very high, but Cali winters are generally very mild.

>>149642359
Hope Corgi, duh!

>>149644872
I'm not opposed to co-writing. If you think you have something, let me hear it.
Last time someone was willing to put in that much effort with one of my writing projects was in 2017, not counting editing revisions to /co/le or Bullion.

>>149640818
It's back now!

>>149646049
Oh, it's true, nice!

You know how I did a redux of a ton of Marvel characters?
I used this to get down how some of them are

>>149645523
As I've already said in >>149611940 I've been having serious issues working on the solo stuff, so I doubt it'll be any different with a collaborative project. I'll stick to commentary.

>>149646346
I like this, keeping track of characters by breaking them down to their core idea, which here, are other characters.
>Siler Surfer is Asura
This one got me curious.

>>149646587
>This one got me curious.
It means he's a Kratos victim.

>>149646587
It’s mainly because I thought “Hmm, who is the closest comparison I can think of for brevity’s sake so I don’t have to explain so much?”
As to the Asura comparison, name another character who has mad beef with the arbiter of cosmic death and rebirth.

>>149646452
OK. I've made those changes.
I'll call this draft 2 now.

>Great stuff also man hill billie might truly be the new /coc/ thing swear has the most fanart of any of the newer concepts.
thanks and i think the reason why Billie became a little popular is both the simple concept and her first design, but especially Luck, cause on that day, other new characters were also pitched, but Billie caught people's interest.
also with Nellie few threads ago, where she got more art than what I expected because she also got the interest of anons here (for some reason)
Funny how Billie started as a joke idea huh?
Still waiting for Time Weasel to make a comeback here
>Also happy Grace finally has some fanart
She has some art now but still less than Nellie and Billie, cause anons dig Hillbilly girls for some reason

>>149645453
>Hope Corgi, duh!
Is there a super deep cut reason why a corgi was chosen specifically? Or is it just because it's a cute breed? 'Cause that's understandable if so.

>>149652503
Is this just a funny one-off comic or did Marls and Jack get shipped for real back in the day?

>>149655860
This it was a funny one off, but it Kickstarted a bit where Marley became the Ladybugverse's babysitter, looking after a bunch of superpowered kids that were the love child of Marl and someone else. think there was even one with three parents.

>>149656207
That sounds adorable but also nightmarish. Is Marley any good at dealing with children though? I don't think I've seen her interacting with any.

>>149655577
I actually thought it was saturday already, so I was ready to let the thread die, damn.
>>149655860
It was semi-memed in around 2023, some anon was really into the idea.

Is there a finished version of this?

>>149656450
Part of the joke was, no, she wasn’t. On the plus, most of them weren't babies, so they were able to take care of themselves. On the downside, they were in the "fight over who got to save the day" age.

>>149656450
I remember that she took care of Cookie (Conrad's son) according to the wiki. If that's still the ladybugverse.

Continuing this
>Grace, meanwhile, was curled up on her bed, a stylish fountain pen in hand, meticulously detailing the morning's bizarre encounter in her diary. This place is even weirder than I thought, she wrote, her elegant script a stark contrast to the rustic surroundings.
>"First, I get lost in the woods and meet a tiny, feral version of that mud girl Billie. Now, Aunt Ellie is accusing me of being a midnight biscuit raider. Seriously, what is wrong with this town? Mistake. This was a colossal, unfixable mistake."
>Just as she finished her sentence, a sharp ping against the glass of her window made her jump. Then another. And another. Pebbles.
>She sighed, closed her diary, and cautiously approached the window, pulling aside the floral curtain.
>A rogue pebble glanced off the glass just as she opened it, ricocheting and hitting her squarely on the forehead.
>"Ow!" she yelped, rubbing the spot. She looked down and saw Billie, a handful of small stones clutched in her hand, grinning up at her.
>"Mornin', city gal!" Billie called out, a wide, gap-toothed grin on her face. She waved a hand coated in what looked suspiciously like bacon grease. "Wanna come down an' talk a spell?"
>Grace was about to slam the window shut and pretend she'd never heard a thing. But before she could, a voice called out from just below her.
>"Well, land sakes, Billie! It's good to see ya, sweet pea! How's your ma an' pa? An' that new calf your pa was talkin' 'bout? He been eatin' proper?" Aunt Ellie stood on the porch, a coffee mug in her hand, her expression warm and friendly.
>"Howdy, Miss Ellie! Pa says the calf's got an appetite like a broke-down tractor. Ma's doin' fine, just a little miffed at the chickens," Billie replied, her thick accent a perfect comedic foil to Aunt Ellie's gentle Southern drawl.
>"Say, reckon that new gal, your niece Grace, could come on out and talk? Got a few things I wanna ask her about them city ways."

>>149658716
>"Why, of course, darlin'!" Aunt Ellie beamed, turning to look up at Grace's window. "Go on, sweetie, go have yourself some fun! You need to make a new friend!"
>Up in her window, Grace's mouth dropped open. She wanted to scream, but no sound came out. Instead, she just stood there, her body a frozen tableau of sheer, silent panic.
>The universe, it seemed, was determined to make her life a living, breathing, mud-spattered nightmare.
>Grace, still a silent statue of dread, watched as Aunt Ellie gave her a final, beaming smile and a gentle wave, as if sending her off on a pleasant picnic rather than to a social encounter with a hillbilly sterotype .
>There was no escape. She slowly backed away from the window, her heart pounding a frantic rhythm against her ribs. She took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself for the inevitable. This was it. The moment she had to face her fears, or at least, the person who caused them.
>Downstairs, she could hear Aunt Ellie’s voice, a little softer now, talking to Billie.
>"Oh, she's just a tad shy, bless her heart. Been cooped up in the city for so long she ain't used to all this fresh air and good company."
>Grace walked to the front door as if in a trance, her hand slowly turning the knob. The door swung open to reveal the smiling, slightly unnerving faces of Aunt Ellie and Billie. Billie's grin was even wider in person, revealing a missing front tooth that seemed to wink at her.
>"Howdy again, city gal!" Billie said, her voice a low rumble. "Reckon we got some talkin' to do."
>Aunt Ellie, seemingly oblivious to Grace's palpable terror, gently nudged her forward. "Now, you two go on and have some fun. Make sure you're back for supper, Billie! Y'all need to get to know each other!"

>>149658740
>As Grace stepped outside, Billie turned and started walking toward the creek, not even waiting for a response. Grace had no choice but to follow.
>The air between them was thick with a silence Grace found more terrifying than any loud confrontation. She glanced back at the cabin, where Aunt Ellie was already retreating inside, a contented hum echoing from the open doorway.
>Once they were well out of earshot of the cabin, Billie finally spoke. "So," she began, her voice low and serious, "I got a real head-scratcher for ya. My chickens... they ain't layin' no eggs. An' my pigs, they just been sittin' there, twitchin'. Nellie says it's 'cause o' my mud-sculptin' from last night, but I ain't never seen my critters this spooked up."
>Grace blinked, her brain struggling to process the bizarre conversation. "Spooked chickens? Mud sculpting? She was being asked to solve a farm-related mystery?', "Uh... I don't... I don't know anything about chickens. Or... mud," Grace stammered. "Why would you... why would you think I would?"
>"Well, you got that there... that shiny little screen thingy in your pocket, right?" Billie asked, pointing to the bulge of Grace's phone. "Pa says you city folk got all the smarts. He says that there little screen has all the answers to the whole blamed world! So, I reckon you gotta know why my hens ain't producin' no eggs."
>Grace's internal monologue screamed. "She thinks my smart phone is a magic knowledge box! She thinks I'm some kind of a chicken whisperer because I have a cell phone!" Grace took a moment to compose herself. "I... it doesn't quite work like that. It's for... you know, looking things up. I don't have a signal here."
>Billie's face fell, her gap-toothed smile vanishing into a look of genuine disappointment.

>>149658749
>"Aw, shucks. I thought you'd be a big help." She kicked a rock in frustration.
>Suddenly, her eyes lit up again, a mischievous glint returning. "But I do got somethin' else to show ya. My new mud-sculptin' trick." She bent down She bent down, placing her hands and feet on the damp earth, getting into a crouched position like a frog on a lily pad.
>"You're gonna love this."

Time weasel was a good fella but think that anon left so unless someone picks it up it's kind of gg

Also I do remember billie did get some love think her and time weasel started at similar times. Remember drawing them both that one thread so had to be same week or about a half a week apart. Remember them both being new asf but think time weasel was just a tad bit newer.

>>149660537
eyy nice to see you again!
i kinda missed your art
>>149660901
started in the same thread actually, which makes me sad.
>Pic
i understand why anons liked Billie, but Nellie? i still don't see the appeal, other than maybe her bangs and her being a little girl, but i don't want to open that can of worms

>>149662265
It's very good. You do have your own style, so I can't judge if you wanted do draw him in your own way
But in case you want some guidelines on how I draw him, I made this edit

>>149663158
I see, thanks for the tips!

whatever happened to the How's Your Webcomic general? /ic/'s gotta a manga making general, but I'm pretty sure /hyw/ was here before

>>149664279
>whatever happened to the How's Your Webcomic general?
Nobody made a new OP after the last one saged. Will (You) be the one to take that step?

>>149664279
Think there was a shitter that kinda ruined a lot of good faith. Don't know the exact answer though, wasn't a regular.

I'm glad they got the rights back to Baman Piderman.
It was fun when they stopped by.

>>149666815
Yeah, it's nice to see those two show up on my feed again. Oughta binge that again sometime this weekend

>>149666864
I'm rewatching the episodes as they upload them to their own youtube channel. After they've run through all the old ones there are two more that were done, but they were never able to post, and then maybe some more new ones later this year now that they can work on this again.

I hope they'll also upload the teaser animations and the kickstarter animations since some of those did have visual impacts on later episodes.

>>149662483
You did open it boyo, and you know you did. But I've alleviated that can of worms and just made my own version for..............horny purposes. Also assumed she wasn't based on how you wrote her in other scenes though never thought of their ages officially.

Damn same thread, that's crazy though makes me a bit sad most of my oc stuff never took off. Though for me just would prefer more discussion than anything but alas it be like that sometimes. maybe I'll try and post more again honestly may need to finally do some more dumbstruck or magic girl or maybe even knight au. also wonder if that anon that did the molly nellie thing is around need more nellie

>>149667306
I think Dumbstruck is your most thought out character. Had you stuck to her for a few months longer then I think she would've had a fair chance of catching on with the discussion she was generating.

The magic girls feel directionless to me. Like the focus is more on the setting than any one main character. You keep coming up with more and more of them without letting any of them do much.

And the knight AU (Mary Sue gets a clue, was it?) felt severely limited since it focused too much on her failures to flirt with other girls. Even a more Johnny Bravo approach where other shit is happening that she has to deal with (demon baby, island of amazons, were-creatures, etc) would improve that. Lean into her actually going on adventures even if her only goal is to pick up chicks.

>>149668354
What gesture would she have?

>>149668354
>Somsnosa is Marley
>Wayne is Arthur
Wonder who the other two would be.
