Vicious World: Updates Sundays!

  Vicious World 1.31
...work's really kicking my ass this week (hence the lack of replies...). And the muse still will not return, no matter what.

But I did manage one page this week...I do apologise for the unfortunate page count, but as you all know, my desire to work on this series right now is still nowhere to be found. Still, I don't want to give up.

Anyway, on with this week's page:



So, Chris has divulged the crucial information that Dana told him: that aside from himself and Dante, there's a third suspect in the "mystery beatings"...also, Seong-Ho finds Dante's random laughter disturbing. Chris is more of the "Oh look; he's laughing again." reaction.

  Vicious World: 1.29 & 1.30
Sunday already? That must mean it's time for the weekly Vicious World update!
My muses still won't come back out to play, but whatever; the muse is being a little bitch. On with the pages:




...Seong-Ho's shirt may be familiar to anyone who follows my facebook. Also, you'll notice that Dante doesn't want Chris smoking inside his apartment...and he just doesn't want Seong-Ho inside his apartment at all, either. XD

Chapter 1 is almost wrapped up. I can't make any promises due to real life keeping me busy, but I'll try to have something of significance to post about soon!

Okay, so I know I'm running very late with this as the update is less than two hours away, but better late than never, right (though anyone who follows my devArt knows why my activity has been reduced...)?

Razer: Seong-Ho's faces are probably second only to Chris. Maybe. And speaking of, a hell of a greeting indeed!

I really hope I don't lose touch with my characters. I just feel like they're not as remarkable as they were to me all those years ago. I do plan on taking a hiatus after the chapter wraps up, especially because of the Five Four Weeks of Hell.

"PENAS". Oh my god. That needs to be the word verification all the time. XD

Satia: I appreciate the advice. I think the holidays would be a good time to just take it easy for the time being and figure out what my next move should be.

Rennard: Chris' Vicious L'il streak is just a sample of what's coming very shortly down the road (or whenever the next episode starts up). That skateboard would definitely cause some pain if applied in the right way!

Thank you for relating your own experience with me, too. I know you've been working really hard at getting Reign to work! It just gets hard to have to focus on just this when my muses want me to work on other things too.

Curiously enough, you're not the first to suggest I post content other than the comic, which leads me to believe that it's a good idea! And now that you mention it, I've seen and enjoyed those shorts you do, so this is something I think would be okay to try. :D

I'm glad you've been enjoying my hard work thus far, and again, thank you for your input. It's been really hard, especially as my muse just isn't anywhere to be found. D:

  Vicious World: 1.27 & 1.28 + MESSAGE
Hey guys; time for your weekly dose of Vicious World.

You'll have to forgive my lack of enthusiasm--as some of you know (namely those who follow my devArt page and/or Facebook), I've grown really frustrated working on this series as of recent--a large part of it is the fact that I've been unable to allow time to devote towards things like setting up an archive, character art, and just artwork in general! Another factor is that I'm literally uninspired to work on this, especially because I've become so used to working on the "Archie-on-crack" styled shorts that are featured in the printed comic 'zines.

There's also the matter of my day job, commissions, and other projects that I'm gradually working on; most of which have left me very exhausted (especially the day job).

I've also been extremely negligent in replying to comments as of late--please be aware that I do read everything you all post, so please don't think I'm ignoring you. What I'll do is I'll simply reply to the comments in their corresponding journal, rather than make a new post in the journal as usual.

Anyway. Thanks for being patient and understanding thus far. On with the pages:

  Vicious World 1.25 & 1.26, or: DANTE APPEARS; READERSHIP INCREASES A HUNDRED-FOLD
...okay; a bit of a joke there. Anyway,  I won't say too much except that this past week was rather exhausting as I worked longer hours at work, and as a result was unable to complete the archives (I will work on it this week), and I neglected to handle reader comments, which WILL be taken care of Tuesday.

In the meantime: Dante Dane's official debut in the new continuity.




...and there you go, so far. This is also the first appearance of Seong-Ho's main skateboard, for those who care about such trivia. Regarding Dante; I feel it would be better to introduce him as someone you wouldn't think is anything other than some hungover, surly British guy who sleeps until four in the afternoon.

Next week: Chris tells his story! There's fighting involved!

  Vicious World: 1.23 & 1.24!
Is it Sunday already? Hey; no reason to complain, though, because that means it's time for the weekly Vicious World fix, with the conclusion of last week's scene that brought in Dana Dane, and revealed a very interesting side to Seong-Ho...

I know what you're all asking yourselves: what did Dana and Chris discuss, and why aren't we in on it? Patience, my lovelies; all will be revealed as things continue to run its course.

Besides, what's more important is what's happening in the next update: another character debuts, and it's the one you've all been waiting for. And yes, I do mean him!

  Replies to the Readers, MEGA UPDATE Edition!
Okay, so I'm quite late with the replies, but I am doing it now~! There was quite a lot that went down within four seemingly small pages, namely the (re)introduction of Dana Dane, half-sister of the notorious Dante Dane (just when IS he appearing, anyway?!).

Anyway, let's make with the replies:

Brett: Although I love drawing faces on certain characters for different reasons, Tadasuke is one of the most fun to draw because he can be utterly adorkable. :D
As for Ms. Dana, she's got a presence in and of itself--then again, it's not hard when you practically tower over everyone! Seong-Ho is pretty much smitten in the goofiest way possible.

Razer: Better luck next time. ^.~ And Seong-Ho is perfectly okay with this encounter. DEM TITS INDEED.
(Also, thank you!)

Steff: If it weren't for AWA, I could have built hype for our favourite Irish lady, though I think springing her in as a surprise is just as good. I'm quite pleasantly surprised by the feedback I've gotten about her, though for you it's expected. Thanks for supporting her forever, by the way!

Rennard: Seong-Ho is just absolutely goofy for Dana at the moment (though I wonder how he'll feel if he ever finds out who her brother is...)! Things are definitely picking up now (we're actually still on the first episode, too!), and you know that where Dana is, Dante isn't too far behind. Yes, this is foreshadowing on my part.

dora: Yay! I feel that I have a better grasp on Dana's look now, though I intend to fine-tune her some more. Anyway~~I know you were always fond of her, so I'm glad that you're happy to see her again.

zipchan: I was wondering how long it would take before someone saw what I did there. XD

hunty: An 80s rapper? Now I'm gonna have to look this up, because that could potentially be the best obscure reference ever. I'm glad you like my outfit designs on guys--men are so much harder to dress since their options are so limited compared to what women have, and there's also the added degree of maintaining a sense of individuality with each wardrobe. One of the things I'm really glad about working on comics again is that I get to draw expressions much more regularly, so hopefully they'll continue to improve.

Cary: Last, but never least!
I think 'Natural Height...!" is the comment of the week for this set! Irish accents *are* hot, so feel free to just imagine this as often as you want!
As for the old series, it's not necessarily a must-read since it's not in continuity with the new, but it's good if only to get a bit of a feel of the cast (and to laugh at how bad my work used to look. My God.).
If I keep getting any more remarks about the clothing, I'm just gonna have to get the motivation to work on a fashion-type book! Mind you, I appreciate the praise!

Right, then! Sunday's update is around the corner. I will say this right out; no new characters will be introduced, but I do promise more reaction faces, and a big hint as to who WILL be appearing next weekend (Sunday, October 10).


Also, I'm working on the archive system, though satia, if you're reading this, I know you had something to offer as far as input goes. I'd love to hear your ideas as I'm willing to try anything, so long as readers can properly catch up!
