Foster's (Comic) art - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Natty · 09-22-2008, 02:43 AM

First things first:

About the comic:
After reading 'The Darkness of my Heart' on fanfiction.net, I (strangely enough) was inspired to do a Foster's comic, which is slightly based on that fanfic. The comic should be appearing in the book 'C.R.A.P. (Collection of Random Art and Prose): Rise of the Mary-Sue's'.

About the characters:
Mac, Bloo, Wilt, Eduardo, Coco, Cheese, Frankie, Ringo-Rango and Eurotrish will all appear in the comic and will (off course) remain in-character. There will also be a mystery-character and an original character (due to the story-rules for the full comic-book).

About the story:
When OC Vera enters the home, she's supposed to fullfill one simple task: to be the Mary-Sue of the story and therefor attract all attention to herself. But her plans fall apart as there is another, bigger Mary-Sue in the home, taunting the other Friends by writing weird and not-even-funny stories about the gang. Can Vera find out who's the mysterious writer before the comic runs out of panels?

And now, for the art!

Enjoy, and please tell me your opinion!

Looks pretty good thus far.

Sounds disturbingly familiar.

Love the expression on Vera's face with Bloo climbing on her head.

You're getting off to good start there, Natty. I think you draw Coco particularly well.

Natty · 09-22-2008, 03:01 AM

Hahaha, thank you, thank you!

Vera looks very human because she's been created by a 40-year-old Otaku that lived in his mother's basement and simply loved neko's and kitsune's. Because of her overly-feminine features, Vera likes to dress in baggy clothing.

I'm very glad you like her looks

Hopefully, you'll like her personality, too!

What is Cheese saying on the cover? It looks like "I like flams" but I'm not sure.

Natty · 09-22-2008, 01:40 PM

He is saying 'I like Flams', yes. It's a joke, coming from the usual 'stop flamming meh' line that the author of the fanfic is calling out in caps-lock every single chapter.

Just in case you haven't seen the fic yet:

It's darned awefull, I can tell you that! Bad grammar, cursing, out-of-character-Friends and a Mary-Sue that make all Mary-Sues look like great ideas! You have been warned!

Lol, I like how everyone's hiding behind Wilt. Great job so far - and Vera looks awesome. But I hope she "deSue-fies" somehow.

I REALLY look forward to reading the comic-to-come!

While I like the artwork here, I've got to question how ANYONE with a brain could be inspired by the creation of a troll, and that's what the "author" of "Darkness of My Heart" is-a troll. I don't see how you can keep the Foster's characters "in-character" at ALL, if the comic is based on that piece of garbage, since in what little I've gotten through without having to go throw up, they're anything BUT "in-character". It's just badly written porn, intended more to make fun of Foster's fans than anything else. If "God Awful Fanfiction" was still up, that "story" would be prime material.

I don't know, maybe a "retelling" of "What REALLY Happened" where the annoyingness of the Sue is noticed right away by the Foster's characters and they don't fall for her junk? Where the Foster's characters are as they really ARE, and not "goffik emos"? How the IN-CHARACTER Foster's people would react to just a nightmare of a Mary-Sue, or a "migraine accident that went wrong"...Something like that, maybe? I honestly haven't a clue, but she sure is genius actually coming up with this. *shrug*

I love that cover. Nice cover to what I'm sure is a creative comic.

Nice design on Vera, too. I hope Bloo doesn't make her life too miserable.
