Of What Kind - My fantasy comic with a Kickstarter!

[adamszym]

Hey everyone,

Long time forum lurker here, and I decided to throw my hat in the ring and show you my comic!

For the past few years I've been drawing a fantasy webcomic called Of What Kind on my website Good Show, Sir!


It's about anthropologists being sent to find the eggs laid by a time traveling fish god. Things get complicated and dangerous and weird very quickly from there. I'm about 100 pages in (though I have about 200 drawn so far), and I've recently started a Kickstarter to print the first volume.


If you back it you can get the book, PDFs, minicomics, shirts, original art or illustrations, and stickers!

Here's some more art, I'd love to hear people's thoughts!




Lemme know what you think!

If you guys back it at the $75 or $120 I'll draw you an illustration of a monster or D&D character, here's an idea of what that could look like:

I'd just have to say that it looks amazing.

I'd have to say that while the art style looks good and distinctive, the writing style is atrocious.

[adamszym]

Not exactly what I would call constructive criticism, but if you feel like coming out of the jackass closet, it's no skin off my back!

But seriously...not as atrocious as fan fiction or deviantart poetry, surely?

EDIT: Knee jerk reaction to a post I misconstrued as trolling.

[Morph Bark]

No need to be attacking or shoving people into "jackass closets". I meant not the form of writing, but the font, the way it's put onto the page and thus part of the art style, in a sense (which is why I used the word style, while font would've been better, but I couldn't come up with the word at the time). The Ts resemble Ys and the Os look almost like hourglasses, among other things. Only the parts where a character is speaking are the words actually readable. When the narrator picks up, it becomes a grating experience that makes it hard to enjoy the story, or the art surrounding it, lessening the work of both artist and writer, because it decreases the will to read.

With regards to level of atrocity relative to fanfiction and deviantART poetry, I couldn't say, story-wise. There's a lot of good stuff in those incredibly broad, generalized categories.

[adamszym]

Hey man! Total misunderstanding, I've just encountered too many trolls on the internet that I guess I assumed you were speaking negatively about the writing itself, with no real advice to offer!

Now that I understand that you were talking about the actual VISUAL style of the writing, then that's actually enough of a critique as you stated it. I'll look into clarifying the lettering for sure.

I apologize for knee-jerk reacting! Thought you were being a jerk for no reason, but you weren't, and I haven't read any of your fan fiction or poetry, I was just trying to show you how unhelpful criticism felt! I have no actual reason to think it's atrocious.

Again, apologies, and thanks for clarifying!

[adamszym]

Hi guys! Me again!
