What is Dialow?

Pronounced: (Dee-al-ow)

TLDR: A Comic Idea! (Personal Project)

Dialow is a project/idea I've had since around high school. The name comes from a combination of the animals Dingo, Alligator and Crow. It was originally thought up as a video game idea but eventually it shifted over into a comic idea.

Dialow will be a comic about a cast of silly characters that run a comedy sketch show within the world of the comic. It will be a split focus between the shows the characters produce as well as their lives outside of the show. One way I like to describe it would be a little bit like the original Muppets show except we also get to explore a lot more of the world the characters live in as well. The Genre of the comic will mainly be comedy but I plan to have action and drama play a huge part.

The main character cast consists of Dingo, Alligator ,Candy and Crow and a secondary rival cast will consist of Chili. Ed. Betty and Joy. There will be other characters among them that work on both shows as well as characters who live in the city within the world of Dialow. I will go more in depth with each character as I write bios for them.

Currently, I'm working on pre-production for the comic's world and characters. Most of the characters have already been redesigned or updated at this point. I just want to make proper turn-arounds and reference sheets for most of the main characters before really sinking my teeth into working on the comics. The other part I'm currently working on is a script for a first main story arc I plan to do.

My plan for now is to nail all the main characters of the comic down and a first main story. The rest can be worked on as it comes. There will also be a little bit of work done for side characters and stories that I imagine won't take as long as the main stuff. For now I'll continue to post some fun drawings alongside character sheet progress. I also have 11 comic strips of about 30 total that I'm treating as a sort of 'Beta' to the main comic series that I'm going to start uploading soon!

That's all I can think of to share at this point without going overboard. If there are any questions about Dialow, feel free to ask! 🙂 It's been fun working on this stuff lately and I hope to finally see this idea of mine sprout some legs and take off finally.

🐶🫳💻 Doing a bit of writing today. I want to explain what 'Dialow' is as a project as opposed to just sort of mentioning here or there for once.
.
Also doing a few short stories that I want to work on for said project. I'll be sharing more about all that soon!✨

So I was organizing my art folders on Da and Fa the other day, and I realized that from about 1k art posts that only less than 200 were related to any of my original ideas.

I felt a little ashamed, tbh 😔 I'm not really sad or anything, but seeing the ratio kind of makes it like, "no wonder, no one is a fan of your original stuff when you don't post it as much!"

I am trying to change that and play less to a crowd and more so to what i want to post. It's why burnout happens, i think. I want to take my own work more seriously and make something of it already. So I guess expect to see less fan art and more original stuff from me from now on! 🐶✨

👋🐶Hey my doods! It's been a while. I hit some MAJOR burn out around my Bday 😕. It really sucked.. I was still drawing here and there but I haven't felt quite ready to come back till now!
.
I hope ya guys been doing good tho! I'm exited to get back to posting arts🙂✨

It's been a while since I've officially been open for commissions and I sort of wanted to give a heads up.
.
I'm not sure if there is still interest but I'll most likely be opening back up for commissions in January next year!

🐶💬I will be closing commissions for a little while. Anyone who is still waiting for art or Dm’d me before this post don’t need to worry- I will be getting to you all soon!✨
.
🐶✨Commissions for me only really started kicking up this year and I really appreciate the support and Interest in my work❤️Which is why I find it hard to ask for a tiny break but I feel like it’s something I may need. I’ll try to open again soon! Thanks for understanding✨
