jacksnaught-deactivated20160131 asked:
Where did you get your inspiration for Jon? He has that kind of Mustang (FMA) feel...
Hahaa I don’t really see it, Mustang is too suave and pleasant
There’s probably like a dozen characters that have influenced Jon but off the top of my head I’d mention Léon the Professional and Big Boss (came up with the eyepatch before I played MGS though)
My friends are terrible I love em
Suspu drew these lil fanarts of Jon and hid them all over my flat. Took me OVER SIX MONTHS to find them, I’m glad the fear and torment is over now
Hi Maaria, I'm curious- what is your technique for writing the chapters of your stories? Like before the drawing and inking- do you write out the /full/ chapter (or three or so) and then draw them out?
Hi! Thanks, that’s a good question. I already sorta covered this in the FAQ but might as well go into more detail
I start out with a general idea of what’s going to happen in each chapter and try to write down most of it before I start thumbnailing. Emphasis on “most of it” - if I have every detail already set in stone when I begin sketching and inking, it’ll start to feel stale and boring. Flexibility is more appealing to me. The story evolves in my head constantly so there’s a whole buch of stuff I’ve added or changed on the fly, sometimes at the last minute even.
This episode with the mafia kids for example I originally estimated to be just one chapter (40-60 pages) long, but ended up writing so much material it had to be split into a two-parter, and now it’s actually becoming a three-parter! It transformed from simple action shenanigans into something more meaningful and exposition-y, which I felt was an improvement but demanded a lot more pages to really work the way I wanted.
Basically this is why having complete creative freedom is awesome. You can just mess around behind the scenes as much as you want, doesn’t matter as long as the pages get drawn on time hahaha

Fanart of Jon from the webcomic Phantomland. There was a flashback scene of him looking all disheveled and I felt possessed to draw a scandalous NSFW version of him. Maariamph forgive me!
Daaaaaang scandalous indeed!! Quite flattering how the character, and particularly this version of the character, would end up getting such an adoring response from the readers haha. This is awesomely drawn with the anatomy and lighting and everything. Really fleshy and 3D feel to it! I love how you did your research with the details and even the background is straight from the comic!
Most of all thank you so much for reading and putting all this effort to fanart, I’m super impressed ;;
I used to draw Chie’s wardrobe very cutesy and girly but nowadays I think a more mature style with darker colors might suit her better. (this getup is a bit too classy though)
