>What is a Publisher-Tan?
An anthropomorphic personification of a publishing company.
>Why are you making these?
Because we are autistic and/or bored.
>Why are they all girls?
Japanese -tan tradition. But we do have some boy -tans too, like Diamond-kun.

If a publisher doesn't have a personality yet, then you can suggest ideas for one.
If a publisher doesn't have a design yet, then you can suggest ideas for one.
If a publisher has a personality and a design, then you can draw them.
If multiple publishers have all of the above, then you can draw comics of them interacting.
>How many publishers do we need?
All of them. This isn't a Marvel/DC project, so please don't focus on them.
Please do not respond to console war comments.
And last but not least, remember to have

With what happened last time, I can understand why some people have reservations in being here.
But, it's a new day and we should start out with positivity and leave the past behind us.
So drawfriends, anything you're working on?

>>84120017
Yes.
The current Marvel imprint is Icon.
The classic Marvel imprint (equivalent to classic Vertigo) was Epic.
Malibu is a publisher that Marvel purchased (like how DC bought Wildstorm) but then Marvel killed it off.
I guess it's in here because someone was a big Men in Black fan but they didn't realize that it's dead.
>>84120352
I told you motherfuckers, we need more DC and Marvel but no you want your shitty Rebellion-tan

Good catch on the Ska >>84119828, but I'd go a bit more British for 2000AD/Rebellion. Quite a lot of metal as well, maybe some electronic new wave stuff like Human League. Do we include Bands that have been inspired directly or indirectly by the comics? Because then we've also got Anthrax, The Lord Weird Slough Feg, Shriekback, Manic Street Preachers and Portishead

>>84120996
Well that's a shame. I think Rebellion-tan is a cooler name and gives her access to more interests like vidya and tabletop gaming.
>>84121074
This, we should ignore Marvel and DC, they are nothing but trash and shitpost
>>84120996
Its not a publisher though, not even in the UK. Never has been. It'd be like Beano-tan.

Because we don't need to infect that thread with our console wars that war killing us.
>>84122315
it'll just be the same thread, but with drawfag's ignoring all the publisher-tan, aside from the occasional DC or Marvel picture.
Cartoon fags and comic fags don't get along.
>>84122305
Their development is very different from ours. Your plan will never work
>>84122315
Let's stay separate, but we can still make drawing of our -tans interacting with their -tans (and hope that they'll do the same for us).
Like Dark Horse-tan offering "The Amazing Screw-On Head" to Syfy-tan, but she rejects it in favor of more wrestling shows.
>>84120878
>Rebellion
Strong lager and a kebab.
>>84122078
Oh don't be like that, let them draw what they want to draw. It'd be nice if we could see any of the the designed ones doing things rather than just standing in place. It was kind of obvious in the first few threads that we had more DC fans than Marvel ones, but what's done is done. I think we can all agree that all the real world publishers put out some good things and they all do utter crap from time to time.
Just let DC and Marvel be the Betty and Veronica types - yes, they're kind of bitches to each other, but they're also friends who hang out a lot and are into broadly the same things. Ones a bit stuck-up, ones a quite down to earth. They both like dudes in spandex to a level that makes everyone else roll their eyes. There's lots of things you can do with them together that aren't just arguing - watching to see a movie, say, or playing a game. Or even chatting on the phone or something (Marvel's got a flash mobile, DC has the big red Bat Phone). Fuck it, make DC talk like Adam West Batman and Marvel like Bendis, that'd be cute.

>>84123932
I really like the chin and newsboycap/fringe overshadowing the eyes is great. The red glove is great, but it should probably be on the other side - its the Right Hand of Doom, after all.
I think the underwear was meant to be conans furry underpants, hence the bare legs, but I'm not sure it works with the big coat. Maybe blue jeans and boots for that working-class american look that a lot of DH heroes have (Shaolin Cowboy specifically)? You could do the t-shirt with the 20th Century Fox logo to link back to the Alien, Predator and Star Wars licenced comics they used to do too. Maybe the Weyland Yutani corporate Logo to be more specific and simple to draw.
>>84124246
Hellboy too. If anything, the chin could do with being bigger and have more of an underbite, though that might look ridiculous.

>>84124203
>>84124289
I really like that she's kind of interesting looking. Got a Richard Corben thing going on there. Marvel, DC and Image have lots of these really young, idealised looking people and it translates into glamorous designs, but Dark Horse has way more ordinary Joes and Janes just trying to get by, dealing with horrible things as and when they appear.
>>84122747
We need personalities for Diamond-kun and Milestone-tan. What do you guys think?
>Massive douchey dude bro. He constantly tries to help the other -tan's out, but it's only to make himself look good or get in their pants. Often times he ends up fucking up the problem worse. He has a job as a mail man, which he is pretty poor at as well. He once got everyone in a car crash during the 90's. A lot of the tans ended up dying in the crash. Vertigo was put in a coma from it, but she recently got better. He has a job as a delivery man.
Milestone should have something to do with BLM.
>>84124434
>and once more DC gets all the love. Meanwhile Marvel remains in the Phantom Zone.
Stop whining, please.
This is why Marvel and DC are so disruptive to these threads, because their fanatics turn everything into a competition between just the two of them.

I can tell you who didn't make a comeback yet is still included in these threads anyway:
Malibu
>>84124638
>honestly everyone is ignoring Marvel
She literally has the longest description out of everyone in the pastebin.
>>84124610
I really like all the Images. They're slightly different designs, but you get enough of a sense that they're the same person, if that makes any sense. Somewhat sophisticated, but just a bit slutty.could do with a little pouches garterbelt though. Seriously, what was up with the little pouches on just one leg?
>>84124653
At this point I'm starting to think its just someone stirring shit for the sake of it. Its as well to ignore as anything.
>>84124631
>Its only really going to get better if more people do postive things for them
the only good thing from Marvel are her movies, while her comics are nothing but garbage
>>84124690
I don't care if DC gets more pictures, or if Marvel gets more pictures, or you start ordering commissions to make sure that they each get the exact same equal amount of pictures.
I just hate seeing you whine every thread at the few drawfriends we have left.
>>84124723
I'm not choosing a side, but I think they need a fairer development. Forgetting their differences, both are the emblem of this project.
>>84124687
>>84124712
Just curious, I wasn't sure. Also wanted to point out that its an older form of the black activism thing than BLM.
I'm one of the two (?) Rebellion fans, I'm the last person to talk about small and obscure fringe cast members.
>>84124771
I don't think I'm the only one who believes that Marvel has not received good treatment in this thrrad since its inception.
>>84124816
>I'm not choosing a side,
You are.
>both are the emblem of this project
They're not, and your repulsive behavior is a big reason why.
>>84124816
We had an entire thread evening them out. One good for DC, one good for Marvel, one bad for DC, one bad for Marvel. We did it because everyone kept complaining that "You're showing favoritism!!!".
>>84124870
You are. They're literally balanced.
>>84124870
I believe that too, DC-tan has seen more favoritism than Marve-tan.
I just don't care.
You're both disgusting with your constant attempts to one-up the other side.
>>84124822
Oh shit! That reminds me, should I replace the 2000 AD name to Rebellion in the pastebin?
>>84124875
They are not? Then why they are in the OP?
>>84124203
>>84124289
B-but it's supposed to be.
>>84124292
>its the Right Hand of Doom, after all
Yea I don't think I thought it through to well. the stone hand was coming out awful continuously and I just switched it to a glove. I didn't even think about it being on the wrong hand. In most cases I'm going by and trying my best to stay close to whoever did the original design and just add a few details or tweaks.
>Maybe blue jeans and boots for that working-class american look
Maybe boots, but with the hat and now glove, jeans take away too much fantasy from it. Maybe a scale mail skirt (he says realizing what a pain in the ass that is to draw).
>>84124434
I don't know what to do Marvel. Sorry, I'll try harder though.
>>84124951
Probably because that's the only comic that we have so far.
Go make a comic about Fantagraphics and Newspapers and we can probably have that be next thread's OP.
>>84124870
Same. but you can't do anything about it.
>>84124943
Yes, please.
Save the 2000AD designs though, because we might eventually use them in a later project (Series-tans).

I get what you're saying about not wanting to take too much away from the fantasy side of things, I just don't think the bare legs works with the long coat, fur cape, thick hair and hat. It doesn't work with this kind of rugged look of the rest of it and sort of unbalences the whole design. In my opinion, anyway. Maybe big ol samurai pants and sandals? Usagi Yojimbo and Lone Wolf and Cub are core DH properties that aren't Hellboy related, and sandals are proper sword and sorcery footwear.
>>84124943
I'd say so, yeah. Have you got the rationale that went with the picture in >>84124822 from the old thread? Can't find an archive of it right now, and the desu links in the pastebin don't work.

I know them mostly from the SF comics, they published some manga, some of it based on video games, as well as video game related artbooks.
