Boop.
A short-comic I'll be working on and updating at random (but hopefully be done rather quickly).

Anyways, the name of the comic is The Most Beautiful Mermaid (unless I mess with the words later I guess)
Since it's short, I can't really give it a decent summary but the comic is a bit based on what I've viewed in other people, specifically my sister. My sister is a dancer and is naturally beautiful and skinny. I was always rather jealous of her because I thought she got less shit from our mom for it but as I got older I realized that really wasn't exactly true.
I won't go into any further detail of that in case I spoil the story xD


P.S. Yes, that club sign says "Mango" not "Manga" although you're welcome to view it as Manga if you really want to. It's called Mango because this story will join my collection of short stories which are together called "Smashing Mangos".


Anyways, enjoy!

I like the sharklike tail of one of the merpeople in the last panel. That looks really awesome.

Why do I automatically get the feeling this'll somehow end twisted and dark-themed? Knowing you anyway.

AddictionHalfWay In reply to SaltedDriftwood [2011-06-29 05:25:50 +0000 UTC]

lmao xD While it isn't sunshine and butterflies it isn't too dark as much as socially-sad uwu
I shoved all my dark themes into a short comic called "Safe" which I'll be doing maybe after this comic is done depending on my mood afterwards ouo

Pft. What the heck happened to evil baby unicorn? You comic jumper you.

I forsee violent verbal stabbing in your future. Therefore you'll probably be in the mood for a dark themed comic. Or not, who knows. Makes me wonder why it's called "Safe" if it's twisted.

AddictionHalfWay In reply to SaltedDriftwood [2011-06-29 05:43:42 +0000 UTC]

oh man I forgot about that one! I guess I have 16 stories to do :u
I need to shorten the unicorn one a bit though. Some scenes felt too long.
Maybe I'll do that one next instead, get a few non-shoujo girl stories out together so that if I bunch them into the same book they vaguely fit well xD


lmao true. It's okay, I work on petsites, I know how to take verbal stabbings and then ruin people n_n

Yes, the reason it's called "Safe" gets to be quite twisted eue

SaltedDriftwood In reply to AddictionHalfWay [2011-06-29 06:01:00 +0000 UTC]

Lmao! So many. Just be careful when shortening. I know you want to finish it quickly/not drag it on and all but every-so-often your pages can be a bit hard to comprehend. I attribute that to the black and white though, it has people distinguish things via shapes rather than color and shape differences.

That’s good, you know how to defend yourself and take criticism. Just be careful, all right? Sure, the one douche you mentioned in your journal pretty much crosses the line but people are still people. Mercy is in order sometimes since not everyone has an iron clad will.

Lol, I guess I’ll find out when you make it then.

AddictionHalfWay In reply to SaltedDriftwood [2011-06-29 06:05:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah @o@
I'll be more scenes being shortened. Like there's a scene of a tiger attacking them and before he attacks he chills with a wolf and that's entirely unneeded.
There are definitely some things that those unused to black and white are not going to understand xD there were a few instances where my smackjeeves viewers totally understood a scene my DA viewers did not. i'll be careful though uwu

yes xD
