Last weekend's thread:
https://desustorage.org/co/thread/82129943/
Last time we talked about:
-Who /co/lette's rogues are and how they arn't often used as her rogues
-Tats' actual journalism jobs
-The person with the paint/ink powers, Holly, got brought up again
-Douchebag Executive Man continues to be evil with some kind of contraversal side-kick he's trying to force on General Freedom
-Some WIP pages from The Lovely Ladybug issue 5 were posted (pic and OP related)
It was another slow thread.
Guess I'm just a crazy person since I still make these threads.
>>82351503
does the artist has a blog/tumblr/whatever so I can see more of his/her work?
>>82351503
I mean, it can't hurt, I wouldn't think.
>>82351887
I don't know if RadLazyBones has one.
>>82351912
It just gets sad when it's just me here.
Can't have a thread all by myself.
And I mean I can't just walk away from the thread without coming back to find it on page 9 or 10, or gone.

Post and new content will come.
I think /tg/ might also have a kid now.
>WIP
well people didn't like this idea that much last week but I guess I'll draw one or two panels/pictures for it anyway.
Basically Tats has been investigating the ruined lifes of rather unknown heroes, at some point she finds an old comics issue about the origins of a certain well known hero, writer is unknown and the publisher doesn't exist anymore. The issue shows where this hero was created, she then realizes that this issue is a story of success that doesn't show the failures.
Some other details, the story starts with her investigating a suicide case(kinda cliche but meh) a rather unknown but beloved hero in his neighbourhood was found death, Tats was only supposed to write an article about him and his life but as she starts her research, she finds nothing about his past. It wasn't that uncommon that the real identity of heroes is unknown but some low-tier street level heroes didn't care that much, this special hero was always happy which is why noone cared that much about his personal life, the true was he had none. Later she finds out that besides his corpse there was a comic about his origins that seemed really new.
>>82360473
A hero who didn't have a secret identity who is always happy had his life ruined by a greedy business man who capitalized on his likeness and made up lies about him?
>>82360905
well my solution to this particular mystery was that he always had his origin comics around him but was never able to read it because he feared he'll remember something horrible. One day he actual reads it and it was a very tame generic story written but an amateur writer from DEMs company, he then remembers his actual origins which was nothing like that and then he kills himself, he had no past for a reason I guess.
>>82355203
Did you read the Ladybug christmas special, Rad?
>>82361712
I think i have seem one of them
>>82361212
What's so bad about it that he kills himself over it?
>>82362177
The one that came out this year features the reindeer hat you drew.
>>82362361
he wasn't born, he was created, he is the first hint to the bigger scheme, she realizes this when its too late though. Tats never investigated much about heroes because they always were the surface, a world that seemed to be doing fine but through him she finds her way into the personal life of other heroes. He had contact with others, actually secretly he was part of a self-help group for heroes who couldn't deal with the stress of the day to day business, there she finds one special person who had a hard life which was so tragic it was almost comical. She finds more such tragic heroes, who seem to have some kind of connection, at some point she finds a comic which showed what happened to a hero eventhough noone else should know about it, she then tracks down the publisher and finds other comics, which did show the tragic past of some heroes she already encountered, these were way older though, it was like they showed the future. The comics didn't exactly show what happened/will happen, it seems like whoever was making these comics went through some kind of change, the older the comic the more optimistic were the stories. Also the comics had different publisher with anonymous writer.
Its worth mentioning that the business of comics based on real heroes, is an old bussines, many publisher started their own comics but at the end a few bigger companies gained control over the whole market.
>>82363867
Can you explain that in a way that makes sense and isn't rambling nonsense?
>>82363867
If it involves obscure comics, Conrad seems like an obvious person to involve. He's the most knowledgeable person around when it comes to that, plus he's a detective.
>>82359739
Maybe they'll all be friends and form a street gang.
>>82365470
I'm new here, what's going on in this thread
>>82365621
On the left is Kid Cookie, son of /co/nrad and Be/ck/y.
On the right is Deelette, daughter of /d/emona and /co/lette.
As per tradition, the first time any two characters meet, they must fight.
In this thread in general, we talk about shared OCs in a shared setting. It's mostly dominated by superheroes and whatever comes with them, but there are other projects not involving capes.
Sometimes comics get made based on the ideas, so that's cool.
>>82365802
I love everything about this idea
Where can I find references of these shared OC? I want to corrupt them.
>>82366607
Link to the wiki is in the OP, it has articles on most things we talk about unless they're new or lack substance.
We've done some corruption before.
>>82366686
I've made it to a dark place. This place is super unorganized. No clue what's what to be honest. I like maggie's sister? though
>>82367140
Dipper, the daughter of Maggie (the dad) and Mandingo (the mom).
Haven't thought about her in a while.
>>82367423
she's maggie's sister and her daughter that's expected of 4chan to be honest
>>82368384
Maggie got hit by lightening, used her lightening rod to impregnate Mandingo, and that's where Dipper came from.
That's how I remember it happening.
>>82366686
How messed up is she under the wrappings?
>>82371067
Don't think Blackstrap is messed up physically (maybe mentally) under those wraps. It's just her design and use of her powers that can give of a creepy to terrifying vibe.
Hell I don't think anyone really knows what she looks like just yet...
>>82372145
There's probably a strong family resemblance.
>>82373068
We haven't seen her face either.
>>82362993
Neat
Let's see if the thread will make it through the night.
>>82364021
sorry but I'm not good at english, I'm primary a drawfag and not a writefag anyway but I still need a convulted narrative to be motivated enough to draw something.
I already explained the setting before, basically in a world with heroes, making comics of their daily life is an old, established bussiness. in the beginning there ware many local publisher but at the end a few companies gained control over the whole market and turned it into a bigger industry by adding tv-series and movies to the franchise. These comics are very controversal because they have a bigger influence on peoples opinions about heroes.
Now to the guy who killed himself, lets call him Mister Nice Man who has above average strength. Nice Man is a local hero who on the bright side is loved by everyone, his neighbourhood is very uneventfull that is way he mostly helps older people, he is an older hero and has seen worse times. On the not so bright side, hardly anyone cares about him on a personal level and its not like it would've been hard to figure out who he was but that is how it always has been for other street level heroes, some people might want to read about them and their adventures even about their (fictional) personal drama but most of the time, noone really makes an efford to know them better. Because of the hard times mentioned above Nice Man visited a self-help group for heroes, the heroes there might have different problems but they can relate to each other because they are now in the same situation.
Everytime Nice Man came home, there was not much there, a television a couch, no fotos but comics about himself.
>>82378426
Nice Man had an on-going comic run since years, street level heroes sometimes get those, they are mostly done for practice by newcomer authors, that is why a comic can have many different writers over time.
Nice Man always liked to read these comics, yet he never did read the first issue which contained his origins, he just can't remember his origins and knows he doesn't want to. Basically he was repressing those memories.
This is supposed to be a bigger plottwist but I doubt I'm gonna do much with this so yeah. After he did read his origins comic he remembered his actual origins. He remembered the chamber in which he was created, from a baby to a grown teen, he remembered how he got older within days. Once he reached a certain age, he was set free and once he was out of the chamber he saw he was not the only one, there were many other chambers.
this issue >>82360473 is not about Nice Man though, this is about the most successful case of a created hero.
>>82364147
well in this else-world story, Tats doesn't care/know much about comics/heroes, I guess Conrad can be a great source of information not only about comics but also about the real world of street level heroes.
>>82374867
>>82371067
>>82372145
I've been thinking about a possible origin story for them. Can't remember if I've posted it already or not.
We have an as-of-yet unnamed shady company working in the background trying to find a way to reliably engineer superhumans. They've cropped up a few times, like with Toxique, as the people responsible for certain villains. I was thinking, Stretch and Blackstrap are likely two generations of a project designed to explore the viability of increasing the likelihood of a superhuman's offspring inheriting their power.
They were able to find two low-power superhumans, a man and a woman, with stretching abilities. They paid them a significant amount of money for genetic material, artificially gestated several babies, then attempted to forcibly induce an activation of their powers. Only one of the first test group survived, albeit with some noticeable malformations. A few years later, test group four succeeded in producing a seemingly perfect offspring.
It was Haley finding out about the circumstances of their births, and the multitude of their dead, stillborn siblings, that caused her to flee the facility, taking Laura with her.
Did you guys know there's a new board for quests? We NEED a /co/verse quest, where each poster can take on the role of their favorite /co/verse hero/villain.
>>>/qst/
>>82379980
I forgot.
They probably look similar unmasked.
>>82380147
You have posted this before. Well, some of it.
>>82380542
Whoa. When did that get there?
>>82381237
At the top of all boards there's an announcement for it, I only noticed it yesterday, but the note says it was made 4/28.
Right now there's some back and forth about if /qst/ should be /tg/'s kid brother or his son.
I'm more in favor of it being his son, but the thread on /qst/ where we were discussing it just dropped of the board.
>>82382307
Well whatever it is it's adorable.
It does seem like a little of the dreadedroleplaycould be a good way to generate content which has been lacking lately. I feel sure there'd be people willing to play Stretcherous and Erin, at least.
>>82382389
I've tried joint story telling in these threads before, there's never been much interest in it.
Sometimes they still get talked about, like the tower heist, or the Chicken Divine train caper, or the museum theft.
I know there were some that didn't involve stealing things.
>>82382528
We need someone commited to being the "author". The readers just make decisions and rolls here and there
>>82382528
4chan as a whole heavily stigmatizes roleplaying and in general anything more "autistic" than a CYOA. On a board explicitly created for that purpose it might have more luck.
Maybe. Then again we weren't even able to sustain an outpost on our own nsfw sister board so I suppose time will tell.
>>82382968
NSFW content is dependent upon visual content, so if there isn't a dedicated drawfag for it, it's not going to work.
>>82383362
Don't quests require at least MSpaint doodle level artistry for the updates?
>>82384139
That's probably why most of our join story telling adventures in these threads fell flat.
>>82382307
It is more than a little weird that /tg/ would have a younger brother that's the same age as two of his close friends' kids.
>>82369512
Summer is pretty much in full swing in some places already.
What are our characters doing this year for summer?
>>82382307
Huh, a new board-tan that I actually don't hate.
Kid Brother seems like it'd be the cuter idea.
>>82387022
I'm just personally very tired of every new board-tan being a sibling to an existing one.
Given how young he is, it makes more sense to me to have him be /tg/'s son.
>>82388294
When was the last time that was really the case, though? /mlp/?
I feel that being a "son" would be too big of an implication, and with quests annoying a good amount of /tg/ anons enough that a board was made, that sort of thing fits in the "annoying sibling" kind of dynamic.
>>82349999
Nice.
>>82388494
>>82388294
If /tg/ has a kid, the mom has to be /x/ and /qst/ is too mundane.
>>82388494
Yeah, but the annoying sibling dynamic is over played in the board-tans.
It's gotten to the point where there are no sibling board-tans who don't hate each other.
>>82388609
If /x/ is the mom then /qst/ was raised from the dead and was the baby she was carrying back in 2009 before that story arc was aborted thanks to /b/.
>>82388932
>gotten to the point where there are no sibling board-tans who don't hate each other.
To be fair, that's mostly because just about everyone on this site hates each other. I mean, it's old hat, but it's true. It's the same truth that says that even with that, there are times where that hate's put aside and people come together. Course, I say this as a sucker for family interactions like that.
Then there's the whole "shipping" aspect, with who the mother is, and that can get dangerously cheesy. I can't forget about what happened with that Winter Ball nonsense.
You could almost think of it like a step-brother from Hiro.
>>82389142
There's only so many times I can stand the "they hate each other but they really love each other... JAY KAY, nope, they really do hate each other" plot.
I think we have enough of that with /v/'s family, /co/'s relationship with /mlp/, and also /a/ and /m/'s issues whenever they're in the same place for too long.
/qst/ has been a board for all of 4 days and everyone has already made up their minds that /tg/ should hate him?
I haven't even seen that much hate about this on either board, it's all remarkably civil compared to all the other times a "containment" board has been created.
talk about Nosefire, the best hench ever you fags
>>82389363
Well, being siblings doesn't automatically mean "hate".
>>82389540
If you're >>82389142 then you're contradicting yourself.
I just have the feeling any argument I make about this will be ignored since every decision about a new board-tan seems to get made within the first 24 hours and then that's it, it gets locked in forever.
Not even a relevant thread on /qst/ to continue discussing this in since threads there autosage after 72 hours.
>>82389387
Tell me why she's the best hench then.
>>82388932
Here's an idea, the mom is /lit/, whose board users decided should be female.
Because quests involve writing and shit.
>>82390854
/tg/ and /lit/ don't have any history together.
I'm pretty sure even long hair /lit/ is still a guy since every time I asked about that they said their board-tan was still male.
>>82389651
I'm not contradicting myself, I'm making a point. /qst/ is a supplement board for /tg/, so it makes sense to think of it as a "brother" board to /tg/. People on /tg/ don't necessarily hate quests, there just always was a population that wished they weren't always on the board. Being siblings and having the kind of dynamic that comes with it doesn't atomically mean "hate" is involved, it just means that there's a closeness that only you get that can either cause conflict or bring you together.
IN any case, honestly, I've yet to see anything beyond >>82382307, so it's amootpoint for me.
>>82391030
that would makes sense since /lit/ hates women
>>82391161
There isn't much /qst/-tan content currently since the board is only 4 days old.
One of the points I'm trying to get across here is that it seems like the discussion about him has already been "set in stone" with no one willing to listen to reasons why /qst/ being /tg/'s son would be better than him being a kid brother.
1. The hated sibling dynamic has already been done several times over and there is currently no real hate between /tg/ and /qst/ to justify using that approach
2. /qst/-tan is being depicted as a very young child, the age difference between him and /tg/-tan is too extreme since /qst/-tan is depicted as being the same age as both /co/ and /d/'s respective children
I didn't come as as I wanted to, shouldn't have started watching BvS.
>>82390665
Bump.
>>82392307
So whose death is Tats investigating?
>>82394240
OK, so this is different.
Now you have to wait a minute before making an image post after making a text post, but only 30 seconds between text posts.
I at least have to keep it alive through Sunday.
>>82397945
>>82399868
And this is all I can do for it, hopefully someone will actually make some use of the thread before it ends up gone and I'll see it tomorrow with some new discussion.
>>82396183
It's the reverse of the usual system. Most boards force you to wait longer if you're posting an image, but when that was instated /co/ went up in flames because it basically killed storytimes. Rather than just removing it, moot flipped it to make storytimes even easier.
>>82395506
well, it started with one suicide case then she finds about the tragic life other heroes who seemed kinda connected and then she finds the comics that predicted those tragic lifes.
Then she finds the special issue >>82392307 which contains the story of the artificial creation of a certain hero.
>>82407000
I guess I can bump the thread with my convulted narrative.
FUTURE MEN
before WW2, the american government found an old alien spaceship with advanced technology. Nothing much was still functioning still the scientist were able to use the board computer to dislay footage of the alien race. What they saw was footage of a machine that created creatures with superpowers for invasion, they found out this ship was supposed to invade earth and enslave humanity. The scientist found the monster creating mashine but it was mostly broken, only the core survived, the energy generating part was also broken and it was the most crucial part because creating creatures consumed a lot of energy. The scientist salvaged the core and build new hardware around it to create super soldiers themselfs. Due to the lack of knowledge and not enough energy, the creatures created by the machine were mostly abominations who could barely survive a few days. Only some of them made it alive and only one case turned into a full success. The scientists used almost all the energy of the grit to create what seemed almost like a god, the scientist called him and other minor successes future men. Meanwhile WW2 was already at its worst, the future men were supposed to save the situation, people needed hope that is way the strongest soldier was called General Freedom. Due to the big loss of money during war and the fact that the future men project had only one success the future men project got its budget cut and because it was a top secret project only few knew about it was mostly forgotten.
>>82408273
One of the scientist who allways liked drawing saw how more and more comics about heroes were made, he specially liked the comics of General Freedom, he regrettet all the failures yet he was proud of what had become of him, the figure of hope people needed during hard times. He collected all those comics by different writers, he liked the different origins comics but none of them got it right. He felt like this part was missing in his collection, issue 1 General Freedom Origins, that is way he drew it himself only for his collection and noone else should see it.
The son of the scientist was DEM, he and his friends always enjoyed reading the comic collection of DEMs father. After DEMs father dies, DEM finds the first issue of General Freedom.
to be coninued->
>>82403846
Last week it used to be that making a post with no image followed by making an image post would reduce the wait time to 30 seconds.
Now it increases it by 30 seconds.
>>82402372
So why don't these threads get much attention, anyway? From what I can tell there's a lot in quantity but still a good lot in quality.
>>82412815
Because the vast majority of drawfags are in it for waifus and titty monsters, and you need images on an imageboard
>>82412815
There's not a lot of quality though. Most of it is just nonsense that goes nowhere, which is the biggest turn off to people wanting to contribute.
How do you find an artist to draw your books?
>>82414489
By being friends with one, or having some of your work available so you can try to find someone to collaborate with. Or by paying someone to do it, obviously.
>>82414654
I don't mind paying, but like, where do you start to look?
>>82414710
Plenty of artists have contact info on the portfolio / tumblr / whatever, and you can try directly messaging people that way. There are forums for this kind of thing too - I believe digital webbing has a section for paid jobs, for example. Might want to look around and figure out what kind of artist to look for based on your budget and stuff before diving into any of that, but there should be info on it out there if you look around.
>>82414948
Any recomendations for finding local talent and not just looking towards the open sea of the internet.
