Who is your mod team and what is your zine experience / background?

Hello! Modding is entirely done by me (Julie) and you can find my fandom blog here and my website here.

Past Zines where I was the primary mod / organizer:

@deathnotecharityzine

@hankconzine

@bow-zine

I also helped out on @rwbycouture as the finance mod and was very inspired by how they handled the fashion themeing!

Based on where I am in my cross country move when shipping starts, I may enlist @whittledraws for help with shipping, as they've helped me ship zines on past projects and also on a higurashi zine from @/neonbell-zines

Hope this answered your question and lmk if you need more specifics!

Hi, I'm Daru!

Here I post gore, things related to metal (zines, interviews, images, whatever I think is interesting) and things related to horror. Basically anything edgy that I like goes in here.

I love metal, gore, fucked up movies, Y2K anime and horror!! I'm friendly so don't be afraid to dm me <3

I'm 19, female, bisexual and my main lenguange is Spanish!

My favorite bands are Megadeth, Children of Bodom, Stratovarius and Dream Theater!! But I listen to a lot of metal bands!

Apart from metal, I love shoegaze, Math rock and prog whatever, as long as it sounds good, I'm into it really.

My favorite movies are Funny Games, Father is a Dog and The silence of the Lambs.

I'm OBSESSED over Higurashi no naku Koro ni btw

I also like anime, tokusatsu stuff and videogames (Silent Hill, mgs and smt mainly), but that's not the main theme of this blog so yeah.

THIS ARE MY OTHER BLOGS:

@rottendaru666 personal acc

@cutierobin about DC comics

@rikumikuwu here I post nostalgia from the 2000s, mainly weeb nostalgia

for the artist asks game- 4, 3, 14, 23, 25, 28, sorry if that's too many! :)

Question 4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

Tiddy and women bodies in general. Architecture. Love all this shit, but have zero practise so it takes a loooong time to get it even close to right.

Question 3. What ideas come from when you were little Answered previously Question 14. Any favorite motifs Character(s) standing sadly on the plain backgroud. I really like to draw this type of shit because i all in on the idea of the lonelines in the cold world. Also "something fucked up happening but the clueless observer has no idea". Usually in fanarts. The art on my icon is actually a great example. If you know, you know.

Question 23. Do you use different layer modes Yes! I usually have a "clean sketch" layer in multiply with a base color, 10 layers of coloring where im just sloppy applying different colors to make a base pallete and the render layer. i don't have a perfect example but something like this. The second frame includes a bunch of different layers with different blending options.

Question 25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by Fuck. It's really hard! Because i don't rememeber if someone compared my art to something specific. But i can say you. One of the biggest inspirations in my life was always a very specific furry-artist who I can't name because his drawings both nsfw and maybe problematic. I'm just happy that no one knows them.

Question 28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines) Two slenderverse zines (here 1 and here 2), higurashi zine and mgs otasune zin (in progress). Also FB, but no one knows that it is and I'm happy.

Some Updates! July 16, 2024 🐦‍⬛💎

Howdy! Been a bit since an update, and while not a ton of folks are actively keeping up with this I figured an update was still worthwhile. Updates under the cut.

-Kieran

Development Updates:

This project is still actively being worked on! There's a ton left to do before I can even properly begin coding the VN and making assets - character designs, outfit, logo, and abnormality designs, not to mention continuing to flesh out the plot + properly write down the full summary. Things are slow due to life - we've got obligations outside of working on this, but it's still full steam ahead as this story is very important to us.

I had initially planned to release Chapter 1 on its own for the Children of the City Zine - I ended up switching to an illustration for my piece because I didn't want to work under a deadline for this. I am learning very quickly not to overestimate my abilities to get stuff done while dealing with multitudes of other stress.

The plot has, for the most part, been finalized - I'm still extending what I had written out and making tweaks here and there for better story flow, but we know what the overarching plot is as well as what the conclusion will be. Of course things could change, PM is still putting out new content and we don't have all the worldbuilding we could, but we're taking it in stride.

As of right now, the amount of chapters slated to be in the final product will be 9, and 7-8 of those will unlock optional story snippets at the end of each chapter (think the 'tips' feature in Higurashi, for example). It's very possible this will change!

I've switched to planning mostly on a Notion board which has helped productivity a lot more than having things scattered across various Google Docs files!

We've added @winterbunz to the dev team for proofreading and additional writing help!

Feedback needed?:

We're still deciding on whether or not to release the story in parts or wait until it's complete before releasing the whole thing - If we decide on releasing it in parts, It'll likely be a release similar to Limbus in that the primary release has 3 chapters and the rest will be released as completed. Still not sure though, feedback is appreciated. I may post a poll regarding this soon for easier engagement.

I would really like to add some minigames of some sort, as well as a functional Abnormality Codex for the fan abnormalities. I have some ideas on how to implement these, but it's going to take some studying and planning and such to figure it out - so nothing's set in stone on that front yet!

Some Adjustments/Fixes:

I had somehow mixed up Canto 1 LCB's L Corp branch, D-02, with Canto 2's, J-03, and ended up naming the branch J-02. This was an error on my part and I'm embarrassed to admit it took me so long to realize - The primary branch featured in this story will be J-03! I intended it to be the one from Canto 2 from the start, I just can't read.

I've also maybe been a bit too loose-lipped regarding plot beats, so I'll be avoiding that more in an effort to prevent spoilers for people who don't want them.

Misc Updates:

A good amount of the main cast of this project is uploaded on Art Fight for 2024's fight! Since a majority of the main characters are mine specifically, most of them will be located on my AF account, demonerium. I'm on Team Stardust this year!

Oracle also has some of his characters that are a part of the SaB cast on AF - you can find his profile as oracle_milkman, he's on Team Seafoam.

While you're at it, attack Michelle too! They don't have any SaB characters yet, but they have their own Lobcorp OCs as well as others.

TL;DR:

Development is still in progress! We're currently still working on finalizing the plot and chapter summaries, but it's getting closer!

Branch J-02 is now referred to as Branch J-03 to correct a mistake I made... and somehow only recently noticed...

Some discussion/feedback would be appreciated regarding release methods and minigame/extra feature additions!

Pacing Yourself-Part 2?

Tumblr was giving me a hard time putting this all in one post, so the last one's all the really handy advice and this is mostly my shameless plugs!

Shameless Self Promo Did you know that right now, I've got new stuff in the shop on this very website?! It's true! For the holiday season, I've got bundles of comics I wrote, collections, and a print version of my Jimmy Squarefoot story with Becca! All stuff comes signed and personalized if you want. Some rare, harder-to-find covers are included in some of the bundles. I'm also throwing in some free gifts with every order! It'd be rad if you could buy some stuff particularly because both the cats are due for their annual wellness appointments/vaccine updates! 

You can also grab a digital copy of Jimmy Squarefoot at my Ko-Fi! Or you could get it from Becca, as well as a digital copy of their NSFW 18+ comic "Rivals" at their itch page! I think their Genshin zine's going to be up there before too long too. 

Or you can support Becca's post-con-season shop update! We're both clearing out a lot of our stuff from this year's convention circuit, but this is their first full on shop opening! Through tomorrow (maybe Tuesday) they're doing two exclusive pre-orders so you can get stuff this year that otherwise won't be on sale until the 2023 con-season begins. It's a sticker of Anya from Spy x Family and a print of Rika and Satoko from Higurashi: When They Cry - GAO. Pre-orders on their Pochita keychain are still open too, as well as literally like a ton of other keychains, stickers, prints, zines, and maybe even some other stuff? 

Even if you aren't in a position to buy something, it'd be cool if you could let your friends who might be interested know. 

Giving Tuesday As a reminder, we're also coming up on Giving Tuesday. It's a day for charitable action. You can donate money and time and resources and give back on a local level or a national one or an international one. Just to spotlight a few people and places who could use your help: the Colorado Healing Fund is a direct response to the Club Q shooting. Trans Lifeline is a peer-based support and resource center that helps trans people with emotional and financial support. The Transgender Law Center provides legal aid, resources, and advocacy. You can check out your local mutual aid network. Or your local abortion right advocacy organization or your local racial justice organization or your local domestic violence support center or your local LGBTQ community center or your local homeless shelter or just, y'know, like help a person in need in your neighborhood. I mentioned last week that Jeffrey Veregge's family and Tess Fowler & Chris Gutierrez both have ongoing GoFundMes for their current medical emergencies. Just try to do something. 

Which finally brings us to this week's regular features.

Things I've been enjoying this week: The first person to buy something from my shop! Thank you! Honestly, just like, some time off. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (This year was a little lacking, but I love the parade). Making a dope turkey! Becca's last little show of the year, which was on Tuesday. Having Anoosha Syed wrapping paper for gifts this year. Candy canes. Honkai Impact (Video game). Sonic Frontiers (Video game). Chainsaw Man (Anime & Manga). 

New Releases this week (11/23/2022): Transformers: Shattered Glass II #4 (Supervising Editor) Special shout-outs to G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #300 (the final issue with a new record-breaking cover), Earthdivers #1's second printing (releasing the week before Columbus Day and having the second printing out for Thanksgiving is very apt), and Dark Spaces: Wildfire #5 (the final issue of the launch title of both the Dark Spaces line and the new IDW Original initiative). 

New releases next week (11/30/2022): Godzilla Rivals: Vs. Gigan (I didn't actually work on this, but the team that did is awesome and you should check it out)

Final Order Cutoff--Last chance for your store to guarantee release day copies for you (11/28/2022): Canto: Tales of the Unnamed World (Editor) Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors--All Hail the King #4 (Editor) Godzilla Rivals: Rodan vs. Ebirah (Editor) 

Pic of the Week: We put up our Christmas tree over the weekend and I got this very cute picture of Nadja sleeping under it. Also, some of the cool stuff up at Becca's shop!
