This comic's been fantastic so far. And I'm very happy to see you drawing WG. I have a soft spot for chonky macros. ^_^

Same here. It’s so good

It's got to be a certain type of chonkage for me, personally, but when it lands, it's super-great <3

A muscle and gut combo. Perfection.

Definitely getting this.

This looks great!

Glad you think so! Thanks! A lot hinged on the whole aesthetic working out, so that's a relief ^^

Wow, I never thought I'd see a restoration of Audrick De Vos's work in English, let alone on this site, but he DID clearly inspire your art style. Fun fact, the Japanese localization supposedly influenced a certain mangaka to make his own series about dragons and constantly escalating power levels.

That's right, Kyodaina Ryu himself, whose satirical magnum opus about the love between a draconic prison warden and a western-styled dragoness bringing about the collapse of a corrupt celestial beaureacracy served as a metaphor for the author's disdain for Chinese communism. Or as we Americans know it by, "Eats Meets Waist."

... Yeah, localization was pretty hit or miss back then.

I hadn't even heard of him or it! I'm...I'M A PLEB!!

Eats Meets Waist supposedly had an unofficial Chinese cartoon made, but it was deemed too controversial by the state at the time >.> They always make the growth content so hard to find!

Honestly, it's impressive that it made it as far into production as it did. At first, they let it happen because they thought it was a takedown of capitalist values, what with the dragoness's previous incarnation getting her into trouble by being too greedy. But Kyodaina-sensei was just really anti-authoritarian in general, hence why the protagonists of his works tend to be humble working underdogs who have to deal with the consequences of incredible power being thrust upon them by circumstance. Just look at his follow-up series with the chonky lady ninja who was set up to fail by her clan.

Supposedly, a couple of bootleg VHS tapes survived, but it's anyone's guess if that's actually true. All my searches for digital copies just led to really sketchy sites overflowing with malware.

It's all who you know! Whoever they are!

Ooooooo, this has so much style!! I'm loving the muted colors and the paper texture, truly makes it feel like an old Euro comic :D

That was definitely the hope, going in ^.==.^ Cool!

I don’t know if I mentioned it, but this is an amazing and wonderful comic

I really love the aesthetic you used for this comic!
It's like this was made in the 20th century!

You've outdone yourself with the style, especially the coloring. It looks authentically vintage.

Thanks! It was priority one, from the start--it took the most time to nail down, for sure
