More notes for Roach conlanging. Roach has grammatical gender, in which only Male, Female, and Object are grammatical genders, whereas Worker uses feminine grammar, Queen and King use a slight variant on feminine grammar, and Drone, and Queen-Alate use masculine grammar. This is because King is derived from Queen, due to their similar positions in a colony, and Queen-Alate is derived from Drone, as both are forms of alate.

Queen is an alteration of feminine grammar that functionally just adds a handful of extra syllables to it, and King is an offsprout of Queen that uses the same grammar with different pronouns. Queen-Alate, despite the name, is derived from Drone, as they are both for referring to different types of alate ant.

Most Roach dialects are intelligible to speakers of Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Roach, but Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Roach is not entirely intelligable to speakers of Roach dialects due to a mix of the excessively specialized vocabulary caused by the specific needs of its speakers, the fact that its speakers do not necessarily have Roach mouthparts and thus may not pronounce syllables in a similar way, and due to the fact that Inanimate Object is a full grammatical gender that does not exist in any other dialect of roach and replaces a decent chunk of terminology for things that previously had Other Words For Them.

what is your process between planning out / drawing each episode?

It's mildly chaotic LMAO 😂 A lot of the pre-work I do is either done in my head via daydreaming lol or just done right on the spot—I usually have specific vibes or goals for each of my chapters, but not usually a fully laid out plan of how each chapter/panel will look until I start sketching them out :') There's a reason I keep a massive buffer ahahaha, I would not be able to sustain my process otherwise 😂 orz I do have some degree of a system aside from that, though!

I always start every episode by sketching the whole thing out. This is usually done to figure out how I'm pacing the scene as a whole, though admittedly it is wildly hit or miss whether I actually have my dialogue planned at this stage. I admittedly tend not to keep these particular sketches, but I was able to dig up one as an example of how sketchy the sketch is!

Even if I don't know what the characters are going to say, I do always try to plan panels with space for dialogue, since it's no secret I write a LOT ahahahaha. If I still don't know what the characters are going to say by the time I finish my inks (which I usually do right on top of my sketch layer as a one-and-done, unless a pose REALLY needs some reworking lol), I sometimes turn to my Google Doc of notes and script things out there; otherwise, I just figure it out based on my end goal for the chapter and how the overall vibes of the character posing turned out 😂

I'll usually add the dialogue in before I figure out background effects, since I often cut corners and skip doing any real details in spaces that get covered by the word balloons anyway (I'll also use them to cover up bits of art that I don't like but don't feel are worth fixing lololol). I have a handful of go-to brushes and texture effects I use throughout the comic as a whole for consistency, and then I keep layering them until I like the final result!

From there it's rinse and repeat inking/dialogue/background for each set of two panels until I finish the episode, since my files are designed to include two panels per final image! I don't know if this is in any way helpful as a tutorial, but I do think it's a fair example of my advice that you should find a method that works best for you ahaha—in my case, my order of operations is very much based on the order of things I like to do the most to the least, set up in a way where by the time I do the thing I like the least (backgrounds ahahaha), the next immediate thing in my queue is to do the thing I like the most (inking) for the next set of panels! If I did all the inks for the entire chapter instead of a couple of panels at a time, then actually finishing of the chapter would be SUCH a slog because then I'd have to figure out the dialogue (which takes me the longest) AND do the background details all in one go too, and the toddler part of my brain just wouldn't wanna 😂😂😂

Kiara Barsamian, aide-in-training for the exiled Bashar al-Assad, and Georgian UN hostage negotiator Mikheil Gelashvili

Long story short, fictional crisis in Azerbaijan - the West blamed Russia, Turkey and Azerbaijan blamed Armenia, Russia enlisted exiled Bashar's help due to his secularism and multicultural aides, many of Armenian heritage, and the UN sent one of the region's best younger negotiators

Now there's something between Kiara and Mikheil - it isn't exactly romantic, but there's something there - however, they do argue about Abkhazia and South Ossetia

Search Engines:

Search engines are independent computer systems that read or crawl webpages, documents, information sources, and links of all types accessible on the global network of computers on the planet Earth, the internet. Search engines at their most basic level read every word in every document they know of, and record which documents each word is in so that by searching for a words or set of words you can locate the addresses that relate to documents containing those words. More advanced search engines used more advanced algorithms to sort pages or documents returned as search results in order of likely applicability to the terms searched for, in order. More advanced search engines develop into large language models, or machine learning or artificial intelligence. Machine learning or artificial intelligence or large language models (LLMs) can be run in a virtual machine or shell on a computer and allowed to access all or part of accessible data, as needs dictate.
