Is Phantomland set in a completely fictional world or in a semi-real world like Tintin, Bleach, etc.?
It’s a fictional world but modeled after Western Europe more or less, with a similar history and culture :>
Here’s a map I drew a while ago (gonna redo it sometime). This is a country that used to have a big empire but gradually lost it and finally had to defend against invaders in a WWII-like scenario. I need to design the geography so the events would make sense in it… somehow…
So glad to have this page out of the way… Thanks for all your support, guys :’D Now let’s hope I can keep up the diligence with the rest of the chapter aheheh
Improvement hell day 29 (fanart)
I’m not very good at fanart…
Wow damn did I get good karma from inking that painful page?? Awesome fanart, this really made my day, thank you <3<3 I love this shade of purple! Also I can imagine Jon getting pestered by random cats for no reason hahaha :D
Almost there… btw this building makes no sense (who builds a hotel with a club in the middle???) but I’ve stopped caring about it and I’ll just assume none of the readers will care either :-D It’s all for the sake of the plot
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………
This is the first page of chapter 4. I drew it months ago… I still haven’t inked it
for some reason
The sketch isn’t even that good - the windows are a bit wonky - but I can’t be arsed to start over :( thug lyfe
Sleeping at 5am? Pffft I’m just gonna doodle some retro urban kid for no reason
It’s probably Jon because everything I draw ends up being an OC
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

The webcomic is back from the hiatus in case anyone missed it :D
