formerlyanon said: they could just create storage areas around it, as well as soundproofing. And the rooms near the club would be in demand by those intending to be patrons, since they wouldn’t want a long trip back to their rooms

Ahaha thanks for the logic, guys :D

Alright, good to know!

a hotel with a club in the middle sounds actually like a valid business-plan

Yeeeah but I’m sure any guests sleeping right next to the club would have a great time dealing with noise and drunk people :’)

Let's play around a little more with the idea of Phantomland live-action movie (there was already some talk about actors). Who would you prefer as a director? Who would you like to do the soundtrack?

Luc Besson for director because he’s good at both serious stuff (Léon) and fun stuff (Fifth Element)

Yoko Kanno for soundtrack because I can’t count the times her music has made some anime feel downright magical

Ahhh why must you make me fantasize about this stuff………

Hi! I like over the top animation a lot too and I'd give you an advice about the one that you just posted: Almost everything there is good, except for how the punched-guy reacts. In the small phase where it's in slow motion, you should already give him a little recoil, like if his head was going before the body, it will make the impact even more brutal C:<

Ahhhhhh~ of course! I forgot to consider that :D Really good advice, thanks!

foervraengd said: quick question! how thick bleedlines do you use for your comic pages? just curious uvu

My printhouse requires 2mm bleeds so it translates to 4mm in the original drawing (because it’s twice as big)

The world demands to know: what is Elias's game platform of choice and his favourite videogames

… Weeeell I can imagine him playing almost anything but I guess he’s the type who mostly plays strategy games on PC. And Pokemon! :D

What does Chief like to do when she's off-duty?

Probably something classy like gardening and prank calls

Why does Jon wield a katana? Is there a deeper reason for it or are katanas just cool?

Originally I had no reason for the katana other than whatever it’s cool!!!, but later I would realize it actually makes a lot of sense for the character. Jon is a cruel fellow, no doubt he loves to make a bloody mess with a sharp blade :-I that said, he usually fights hand-to-hand since it’s enough for most situations

Also gunfights are difficult to make interesting so I try to avoid having them! Give your character a short-range weapon and they’ll have to work much harder to win.

anniilaugh said: OH. I had that impression too :o Like, after losing their memories and even their appearance it’d be impossible for them to get back to their former lives. it would’ve been cool but ah now there’s a possibility they might bump into some “old friends”

Ah yeah I’ve thought about that a lot actually :D I concluded that it serves the story better that they get to keep their faces. So in theory there’s a chance your mother may bump into you, and recognize you, but she’ll quickly realize it’s more like an uncanny knock-off version of you and not the “real thing” at all… which makes her feel confused and upset to the point she’ll just reject you completely and yeah it’s kinda tragic really!

In chapter 2, Chief said that Ghost Virus manipulates the victim's cells and that "none of your tissue remains the same." Does that mean that if a person catches the virus, his/her appearance will change (if he/she survives)? Or that the victim's physical strength or intelligence will change?

Thanks for reading!

This will become clearer as the story progresses but no, the infection won’t really change a person’s appearance - aside from the dots - however a normal person who walks up to a ghost person will notice there’s something a little “off” and creepy about them (chapter 4 will explain this a bit more). This is why Chie & co. must work at Cypress because it’s the only job provider that’s willing to employ them in the first place

Your average ghost is physically tougher than the average human and recovers from injuries much faster. There’s variety between individuals though; Chie isn’t particularly strong but she’s proven to be really good at running

Disclaimer: I don’t actually know shit about virology so I hope no one will call me out on how unrealistic my make-believe virus is… but at least I can promise my characters won’t grow ten-foot spiky tentacles out of thin air like they do in Resident Evil

hi just wanted to say how much i love your comic. I actually think the story line is pretty good. It's very interesting and I can't wait to see where it goes. I also can't wait to see how the relationship between the characters develop.

Aw yisss I’m glad you think so! Thanks for reading! Look forward to future chapters, it’s only going to get better <3 (I hope)

If you could choose real-life actors to play the characters, who would be who? My image was that Elias=Ewan McGregor, Chie=Emi Takei, Amber=Angelina Jolie and Chief=Meryl Streep. Jon is pretty difficult, but I guess someone like Vin Diesel (muscular,"tough guy"-type) would be good.

Hahaa that’s a fun thought…..

I agree with some of those; Emi Takei seems like a real cutie and Chief is actually modeled after Meryl Streep, so those are no-brainers! Angelina Jolie looks a bit too mature for Amber, I’d rather go with someone like Emma Stone. Ewan McGregor’s face is too soft and round for Elias but I found a pic of him with glasses and similar hair so he’s alright until I come up with someone better :D Jon is Tauno Palo!

I read Phantomland webcomic and liked it. It gave me a few thoughst, too. A: Chief of Cypress feels kind of like a Machivellian type of leader, the type that pulls the strings and is capable of ruthlessness and manipulation, even though her motives are for the greater good. B: Do you have an idea what kind of voices the characters might have? (for some reason, I can imagine Elias having a British accent...)

All right, thanks for reading!

Many readers do seem to think the chief is a little suspicious. Clearly she’s got some secret plan in the works but time will tell what it’s all about… in any case, she’s well respected by her people so she must be doing something right!

Elias I do imagine to be British, actually! Maybe because he’s the dapper one so it matches the stereotype, haha. I haven’t thought very much about voices but Elias = slightly nerdy, Jon = sort of dry/raspy, Amber = like a young boy, Chie = clear and sincere but not too high, and the chief = deep and soft. Can’t namedrop any fitting VA’s for these but I’m open for suggestions :)
