A comic about Zantarni (14.01.23)

[NightShade]

I HAVE DISCOVERED THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR THAT I CAN, IN FACT, POST PICTURE LINKS AS A PREVIEW. CLICKING ON THEM, HOWEVER, LEADS TO A 404 ERROR

I'm having a slight issue here: I wanted to make a comic for a long time.
Having rediscovered Zantarni and its current state, I thought to make the comic about, among things, Zantarni.
Well, the main plot is about me becoming a better artist.
The secondary plot, the plot WITHIN THE PLOT, is Zantarni.
The idea is that I spread the word, and Zantarni becomes more lively again.
There is, of course, a problem...
I thought "eh, we'll burn that bridge when we get there" about the *ahem* "quests" my characters will go through.
Yes, you are allowed, no, WELCOME, to call me stupid about that one.

So, here I stand, hoping some living soul passed by and whispers me some ideas.
I have a few, but those are gonna run dry real fast.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Edit 1: I apologize in advance to the mods and admins who will, at times, might be displayed in negative light. As it stands now, you are all severely depressed about the situation, which manifests in unhealthy ways.

Edit 2: somebody post in here on occasion, please. I don't want to break the three posts in a row law.

Concepts so far:
----
Adam:

Update 1: Attempting to draw Adam on paper is harder than it looks. I think I got his hands wrong too.
Adam v1.0.0
Attempting to post it as a [img] resulted in HORROR BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION!
Apparently, the Zantarni doesn't do preview pics and put a full(ish) 4k image. Thank $@#5 I thought this might happen and did a preview first.

Adam v1.0.0 DIGITAL!

I made sure to select the proper size for this, dug in the rules.
"Tomorrow or aftermorrow", I said, "it shouldn't take long to produce some Adams", I thought.
LAY YOUR EYES UPON THIS CREATION AND TREMBLE!!!
It took 3-ish, let's say 4, to create this monstrosity!
I didn't cheat - ctrl+z is like an eraser, if a VERY sharp one.
The tools I used to make are the closest thing I could find to a pen brush, a micro eraser of sorts, it turned the brush into an eraser brush, an actual eraser brush because I tried to use ctrl+z as little as possible, but occasionally forgot, an opacity controller because I sketched it first, and then traced over some of the sketch, and admittedly, the "move" tool. There's no way I can smoosh so many Adams into one picture naturally. For now.
Also, tutorials and several actual books said I'm drawing Adam, when faced at 90 degree angle, incorrectly. They all agreed that there should be no shoulders visible, and that his hands should be about where his genitals are. Slightly lower.

if you observe carefully, you'll see that I absolutely suck at drawing women.
edit1: what the hell. if i post this as an [img] it works. if i don't, it doesn't exist.
edit2: try to copypaste the link?
edit3
OK, I kinda found a way to share it, but had to change it to [img]. I'm not sure about the size, but I believe it's acceptable.
edit4: ok, it's either this, a tiny thumbnail you can't see anything on, vehemently demand people copypaste the link, or a full on 4k image, which we all can agree will break zantarni. I've already sent an email to support about this, so for now we just wait.

Adam and Eve together

Adam and Eve attempting to have fun pt1

So... what else do humans do together..?

Adam and Eve at a restaurant. It took two days to draw.

Adam and Eve ADVANCED! (NEW)

I'm learning extra poses now.

That sounds like a fun idea!

Writing and drawing comics is hard work. but very fun.

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

update: I have SEVERELY underestimated the project!

~Do like that idea. Hope it goes well for you.~

I don't think y'all understood the assignment as presented...

Give me ideas for the plot.
Random ideas.
"Bossu goes to the pastry shop, finds out they're out of his favorite croissants that day, loses his mind, beats the sales guy unconscious."
(Finally found a ridiculous enough example that would not be a spoiler lol.)

You can even just go "Bossu goes to the pastry shop", and I'll take it from there.

Ideas about your character, ideas about other people, just...
IDEAS!

But yeah, throw me some ideas. Might use some, might not. Who knows?

edit1: I don't guarantee I'll depict your characters as they are, though. For example, Bossu? I can't draw barefoot slippers, so I'll put shoes on you.

~Well have shoes now so should be better.

Oh nice idea. Maybe they go to the shop because someone asked them to pick something up for them.~

Update on the comic plan: there's good news and there's some bad ones.

Let's start with the bad news to get it over with: the plan sort of crashed.

The good news: the original plan was to just photograph a4 pages, crop them a little, upload them to imgur, and from imgur use the {img} (you know, except with square {}) to bring them here.
That plan crashed.

I already have a tablet, but it's the kind where you draw on the tablet, but stare at the screen.
It's quite hard to use, there's lack of synchrony.
This one? You draw on the tablet!

I got some money and bought an absolute beast of a tablet!
I'm waiting for delivery, but the main thing this tablet (or rather, its software) has?
It allows me to decide which resolution I want.
"Well, that's fine and dandy, bu--"
I'm not done.
One of it's presets? A4!
I can legitimately draw on printer paper, no cropping necessary!
Also, it makes other things easier.

So, sure, I'm switching to digital format, there's the feeling of lack of authenticity, but with this thing I...

* Can upload my process to YouTube to document my authenticity.

* Don't need to worry about pages not matching in size.

* Possibly publish it as an actual comic! Like, a physical thing!

Your ideas HAVE been heard, btw, and WILL be used at one point or another.

~Glad you could get a tablet that seems to fit at least. Unfortunately the Eve pic won't load, could be me. Well maybe some figure drawings could help. I do feel you with hands but I have that problem with feet. Good luck though.~

got new erasers from dad. Holy @#$%, they're POWERFUL!
So far the rashest, and I mean HARSHEST, worst, absolutely terrifying mistake that was also the largest took three wipes to completely clean off!

Having some trouble with drawing: schedule and timing issues.
Working on another random practice pic - Adam and Eve doing stuff together. Taking disgustingly long, I'm afraid. Will post whenever. =[

EMERGENCY!
edit: it just occurred to me, being a NEET and having no friends, I seriously forgot what people do when together. I forgot how to be human after 2 years of NEEThood.
Since I'm still getting a hand on drawing Adam and Eve, I need ideas of what people do when together.
HELP!
