What’s up! FD should be back on track with updates starting on March 3rd, or March 10th if something comes up. Preferably the former though, FD hits it’s 7th anniversary on March 5th and what better way to celebrate than an update! (….or a drawing if the hiatus ends a bit later)
Thanks so much for reading for this long and I’ll see you guys then 😀
Howdy FD fans! Due to a mashup of like 3 appointments at once over the past couple weeks, and the Holidays, I’ve decided to take a bit of a breather and have updates return properly on JANUARY 6TH since by then I should have a decent buffer Have a good rest of the year and I’ll see you all in 2021! 😀 I will probably stream pagework before then though so keep an eye on that, be sure to follow my Twitch so you’ll be notified when I do go live! 😀
ALSO I forgot to mention, I’m taking a Storyboard class that starts on Monday January 4th and will be a thing until like February 16th(?) so that may or may not delay things depending on how time consuming the assignments are so I’ll keep you posted I might do a QnA thing during that timeframe
FYI, there’s a FD chat I’m admin of in Discord. It’s pretty chill and kinda goes idle half the time, there’s spaces for fanart/fic, Alternate Universes, or just general chatter. I even hop in sometimes with out of context ideas, or elaborating on some bits of canon (without spoiling anything). If that sounds like an interesting time, hop on in, just remember to be kind, courteous, and respectful ^_^ https://discord.gg/G4H3GeU
I messed around with the Random Cat Generator and made some Alpha Trio Reincarnations with the results. These are (probably) the canonical Alpha Trio Reincarnations from the last 5 recorded trios. Random generators are fun 😀
I got a little overambitious and went way too hard with pages on my (unplanned) time off last month. And now the loss of the buffer compounded with a new job and, well, OTHER THINGS, significantly stunted my brainstorming and comic making process. Bear with me as I get back on track, although I do plan on taking a proper break in July but depending on how well I vibe with pages over this month I might make that break happen sooner. Although I’m exhausted from work right now and when I’m this tired I get a little hopeless about things, I could get onto pages tomorrow and get really into it, but this is more of a heads up if I just skip weeks without saying anything cause sometimes even that is Too Much
Isn’t this awesome? We made it 6 years with this comic! 😀
And while I don’t have a proper drawing this time around, I do have a video I made like 2 weeks ago to celebrate (and also that Easy Breezy opening is great I had to do something with it)
Thanks again for supporting the comic, everyone ^u^
December is going to be incredibly busy for me, and rather than stressing out to try and fill in those update weeks, I’d rather showcase some of your Fighting Dreamers guest comics and art to fill in the gap!
I’d prefer just enough art to fill in like 4 weeks of updates, minimum. So anything more than that would be great.
Just a few key things to remember for the comics/art
Keep it Safe For Work , this is a PG series and most of the characters are minors anyway (if you want to draw Romantic Ship Art make it Sandy and Patches they’re over 18 in human years, Pickett and Clawdia have a minor thing going too after their respective husbands died)
Basically if the stuff is PG and the characters are mostly in character I’m down for anything (unless the OOC stuff is intentional for the sake of the gag)
For the comics, keep them short, 1-3 pages for that
Keep the final size at 900px wide (height doesn’t matter as much)
Save them as PNGs
IT CAN BE FANFICS TOO like I’m not picky, like just a quick picture as a placeholder and I can link it in the description somewhere
Send me your finished works through my email at mannykat8x(at)gmail(.)com , or if we’re mutuals already you can DM me on Discord with the file. Just make sure to give me your preferred name/username, and something to promote with your comic and we’ll be good to go 😀
I’m gonna be going to Connecticon ALL THREE DAYS (July 12-14) in some of my costumes I’ve been picking away at, so if you’re in the CT area (or nearby) and want to meet me in person, I’ll probably be there midway through the days just wandering around enjoying myself, and attempting to dance in the costumes. I’ll be dressed up as Phantom and Specter (pictures shown below, even if it’s not quite updated in Specter’s case)
Fighting Dreamers reached it’s 5 Year anniversary of it’s launch! Awesome!
Not to mention that this marks the first year that Stewie’s March 5th birthday is active, so happy birthday to you as well dude! You’d be around 14 by now! (that’s pretty old for a cat actually, dang)
And in other news, I’ll be appearing at CT GAMER CON for March 23-24th as a vendor, so if any of you are in or around Connecticut that weekend maybe check me out at the Artist Alley, I’ll be selling books from chapters 1-3 along with an unhealthy amount of Sock Rabbits (and other stuff from my Etsy) to help with paying for CH4 and CH5 books
