Yeah, since I read this much more for the story instead of the art, I'd much prefer that you make it in a way which will make it an enjoyable experience for you.

I will disagree here. You could monetize Keychain if you wanted to.This is one of those steps you have as your webcomic starts wearing Big Man Pants. You realize that the comic has stopped being a fun hobby and is more like a job, even if it isn't your livelihood.
Only you can figure out how to solve your problems.
He legally can't. His comic uses too much intellectual property. About the most he could do without getting sued is sell keychains of the keys.Tikor said:I will disagree here. You could monetize Keychain if you wanted to.
And even then, Square-Enix and Disney might sue, claiming that they are key-blades. Would it be frivolous? Yes. But that hasn't stopped Disney in the past.Kyeudo said:He legally can't.

And since they sue for amounts that would bankrupt most people, they rarely loose or win, simply getting settlements that can also be used as ammo, or as statistics to encourage more draconian enforcement laws.Kyeudo said:When you have as much money as Disney does, you can afford to waste money on frivolous intellectual property suits. If you win, more ammo for the next one.
I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. I'm merely stating that Juk is facing the problems that all indie comic artists will run into when their baby gets big. Money has nothing to do with it.Tikor said:I will disagree here. You could monetize Keychain if you wanted to.This is one of those steps you have as your webcomic starts wearing Big Man Pants.

Frustrations are easier to deal with when they're attacked at 8 a.m., done by noon and pay the bills (or at least fund the Exalted collection). Frustration is harder to deal with when undertaken during free time.I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with.

Honestly? It's visually simple, but distinctive, and much more capable of a sense of motion and expression than, say, Order of the Stick-style stick figures.Jukashi said:I'm also doing Will of the Undermind, which has nothing to do with Exalted.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm considering my options; there's a point in the story where I might be able to work in an art shift, I'm just thinking further as to whether I should.
Tell me; what do you all think of the current art style? Honestly.
Right now, I do like it. It's the type of stylized that ages well, and you've found a good balance between special effects and ordinary stuff. I also do enjoy your various visual quirks, such as dead = eyelessness and the understated nature of the Sidereal animas.Jukashi said:I'm also doing Will of the Undermind, which has nothing to do with Exalted.

From what I can tell from the internets, if Exalted existed in some alternate universe shmuck, us puny Earth-1'ers would go blind just looking at it. Everything glows in Exalted, even darkness! :shock:Thanqol said:Right now I think it's good at looking like what Exalted is rather than what Exalted looks like.
I never knew about tgchan before ya linked it. And I can't really describe how amazing your stories are. Except the my-little-pony one. I don't understand that one at all, and I'm not sure I want to. :|Jukashi said:Some of you may (or may not) know that maybe a year ago I did Lunar Quest over on tgchan, a site for people to make and play suggest-an-action CYOA-style games/stories,

Ponies are fantastic. What else is there to understand?Inverse said:I never knew about tgchan before ya linked it. And I can't really describe how amazing your stories are. Except the my-little-pony one. I don't understand that one at all, and I'm not sure I want to. :|

Personally' date=' I do really like the current style. Still, if its too much work or the like... well. Do what you need to do. I'll admit I really liked the art upgrade though.[/quote']
I like the new style a lot, too. It's somewhat more endearing than the previous. That said, I want to see a page drawn like the ponies page.
