A little art/comic announcement: While Knightfall in Dream Land is still in progress and I’m still working on that I’ve also started plotting out the storylines for both the Daroach backstory comic and the Susie redemption arc comic that I want to do.

Before I started drawing Knightfall in Dream Land I did some very simple pencil sketches with dialogue written on them to get an idea for the direction the story of the comic would go in and get an estimate of how long the finished comic would likely be/how many pages it would likely have. That’s the stage I’m at right now with the Daroach comic and Susie comic. I’m planning to start posting actual pages for both of these comics in January 2025, because I want to get a little bit further into Knightfall in Dream Land first before I launch the new comics. The final length may vary a little bit depending on whether or not I decide to add more stuff or change some of the dialogue I’ve plotted out, but when Knightfall in Dream Land is finished I’m estimating that it’ll be around 34-36 pages, so I’d like to maybe get to page 20 or so before I start posting the new comics. Knowing how slowly I update I’ll probably hit page 20 around late December of this year so January is likely when I’ll be launching the new comics.

Like I’ve mentioned before I’m also still very busy with grad school stuff (I’m working very hard to finish up my PhD in the next year and hopefully get a job lined up if I can so I don’t have to live with my parents when I graduate) so comic updates might get even slower than they already are in the coming months. Thank you to everyone who’s been reading the comic even though I update it really slowly, it really means a lot to me to see people enjoying what I’ve created, and I hope you’ll enjoy the new comics too when I eventually start posting them.

#text post #Kirby #my art #I’m still plotting out the storylines for the Daroach comic and the Susie comic but I have some tentative title ideas for both of them #I’m thinking of calling the Daroach comic Second Chances and I’m thinking of calling the Susie comic Incorporated #I have a lot of affection for Squeak Squad as a game since it was the first Kirby game I ever played #and it was one of my favorite childhood DS games in general #so I thought it’d be fun to give a little backstory to Daroach and the other Squeaks #and I know that Susie is a kind of divisive character in the fandom but I really like her and find her interesting #and I always see people complaining that she’s not properly redeemed or is still evil #so I thought it’d be interesting to come up with a redemption plot for her #in my Kirby AU in general I’m portraying most of the characters as no longer being evil or villainous #like they may do shady or immoral things at times but overall most of them got some character development and became better people #the main theme of my AU the SweetVerse AU is kindness/friendship #so basically Kirby was kind to all of these people and it inspired them to be kinder and do better #idk I understand why other people may like portraying characters as still being evil or being jerks to each other #but I personally don’t feel like that’s very fun and I feel like it’s a bit overdone I want to do something a bit different with my AU #I think it’s more fun to consider how all the characters would interact as friends/what that dynamic would be like #instead of just writing about or drawing them always antagonizing each other #I also feel like portraying certain characters as still being jerks literally undoes character development they get during their games #idk I just personally don’t find it very fun or interesting to portray everyone as being assholes to each other #I think the friendship angle is more fun and interesting but that’s just me #doesn’t mean they won’t tease or antagonize each other from time to time but it’s all in good fun it’s not malicious
