I have been meaning to write this for a while now.
Dunno why I couldn't do it earlier. But oh well...


I have been following livestreams of a new friend of mine. A girl coming from Japan.
Who already published some Manga's of her own.
And Luke, also plans to publish something in the future.
Apparently, getting things published is not so hard as I thought it is.

So this got me inspired.
Why not trying to make a comic/manga series about Shantae?

Style
The style would be overall funny and light-hearted. However, at times it would get dark and serious.
While it would still retain some humoristic traits in the darker plot-parts, they still wouldn't be as funny as in their light-hearted times.
Like I said before, I wouldn't want to blow things out of proportion. So I would handle the darker parts with caution.

Of course, some things would be slightly different from the games, since transitioning games 100% into comic/manga is pretty much impossible.
For example: In the comic/manga-version of the first game, there would be several plot-extensions, giving certain characters and items much bigger roles, as well as adding some new characters and sub-plots.
Otherwise it'd be over too fast, if you ask me.

Other than that, there would also be several original plots, that didn't appear in the games.



Unfortunately, I cannot draw good enough just yet.
Plus, I barely have any time either, due to my work.
I shall try doing comics, once I attained the proper skills.
But in the meantime, I am afraid I have to depend on other artists for this.

So yeah, the drawing-job needs to be done, by willing artists.

But another thing I need help in is: FULLY FLEDGING OUT MY STORIES!
Since I already have some basic stories in mind, that need to be fully fledged out however.

Here is the list from a past topic, that I still is what I would go for:
Spoiler:


Of course...
I AM STILL OPEN FOR IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM YOU!!!
So if you think this isn't the way to go, or if you have things to contribute yourself...
BY ALL MEANS, SHARE THEM WITH ME!!!


Of course, it is still not sure if we'd publish it on the market or online for free.
It all depends on whether or not WayForward is fine with the idea of making is a published comic book.
But we'd go ahead of outselves, if we were to think that far at this point.

We still need to check, whether or not we can find people willing to help out.
And whether or not financial support is needed.

As for the latter, I am sadly not an candidate for it. As I can neither pay, donate or get money online.
So yeah, once again something I need to depend on other people on.

So sorry, for being a hopeless idiot. Sad
But I will try to contribute as much as possible to this project, if you are willing to help out.


I would love to see a Shantae Comic/Manga series.
What about you?

It's certainly a nice idea.
I don't consider myself a professional artist either, but that shouldn't stop you from possibly putting together some storyboard concepts to share with others to go with the ideas you've written down in text form. A picture can be worth hundreds of words no matter how you slice it

Yeah. I might get around to do some storyboards later.

Thanks a lot. Kitty Face

Love the idea of a fan-comic series. Can you show us a bit of material?
