Description BIGGISH FILE, BUT FULL-VIEW IS WORTH IT.

A little preview of my next comic project, if I ever get it off the ground (which I want to, but most of my script is on a hard drive that is currently inaccessible to me at the moment... ).

The working title is Soda Pop, and I fully intend on doing it in full color, but I'm lazy and coloring takes a long time, so we'll see how well that goes over.

Now, here's the fun part. I'm not gonna tell what it's about just yet. I wanna see what y'all think. Looking at these little scenes, which cover all the important locations and characters and stuff, tell me what you think it's about. Who do you think is the main character? What do you think is going on? What about the relationships between the characters pictured?

Gimme your best shot!

(Tams, you're not allowed to say anything cause you already know! )

------------

As far as the actual artwork goes, this didn't take nearly as long as I was expecting. I'm keeping things simple-ish. I did a lot less shading than I usually do, too, to keep completion time low. In a way, doing less shading is almost harder than doing a lot of shading, because every little chunk of shadow really stands out and means a lot more than it would if there were a lot more shadows.

Also, I'm not good at drawing hot chicks. Way better at drawing hot guys, in my opinion.

From top to bottom, left to right, the characters are:

Chaz, Allen, Jordan, Doug, Rod, Bernie, Randy, Trixie, Lance, and Stella.

[EDIT] This seems to be causing some confusion... Jordan is a girl. I know she doesn't look like it, that's part of her whole thing. But the chick in the hat with the red playing DS is, in fact, a chick. [/EDIT]

...
hmmm... After much thinking and reading my guess is that it envolves the lives of various people around one of the charries, can't think of which, and the work on the porno buisiness... and the comic is like behind the scenes or somthing similar... also it looks like it'll have lot of funny and 'intresting' stuff, hope I can read it in the near future

I'm not sure, but the bottom two look like there's a porno being filmed... but the two girls are actually involved with the guy in real life and this is where they find out that they've both been screwing him behind the scenes! O:!!!!

And I want the DS girl to be the main character. Because I like her.

Thank you, thank you!

Actually getting really expressive expressions has sort of been my most recent pursuit. I think I'm making some progress, and it's cool to know that people have noticed

THE GUY ON THE LEFT ON THE FIRST PANEL IS THE MAIN CHARACTER!! >:3 or... not. But that would be funny if he was. XD

I think it's about the dorky guy in the first panel wanting to become cool and sexy like the guy in the first panel XD and in order to do that he has to shoot pornos but then he gets nit-picky about not having sex before marriage(XDDD) and his gay-ish friend in the top panel(on the right) convinces him that he should film their own porn movie where there is actually no porn but a documentary of their sad lives as dorks..... and somehow the movie becomes famous and the little kid with the DS ends up working as the main character's mini-manager and the two girls that are fighting over the guy in the bed end up falling in love with the main character and blah blah blah XDDD

The red head kinda looks..... homosexual, so maybe he can fall in love with the hot blond guy on the other side of the chubby director XD

And.... the wierd guy talking to the little kid is like a VERY minor character that ends up dying.. Death by stage light. D:

That's all i got XD

I think it has something to do with coffee, a movie set, and two porn stars that are not happy with their partner XD

The first panel makes me giggle-snort.

You're censoring me?! The nerve!


Randy is just as cute as I thought he would be, and he's a REDHEAD DAWWW

Dude, I LOVE these. Wonderful little details in the background, especially in the top panel. It looks fantastic in full color!! I would love it if you chose full color like you wanted to - if you only do one page a week, you could have color.

I have to say, Trixie is pretty badass. I think you did a good job making the girls hot - Stella in particular, her thighs look great! - but if you want, I can still give you a hot girl tutorial? Lol. Because you have the exact opposite problem of me - I have more problems drawing hots guys than girls!

Also, Doug = <3

I'll take a crack at it:

The first two are best buds. Allen is comfortable enough with his sexuality he doesn't mind physically teasing the shyness of his friend, Chaz.

Doug likes to "confess" to Jordan about his day, ignoring that Jordan really doesn't care. Jordan is too lazy to complain about it, so he lets Doug ramble on. Jordan may or may not use any juicy tidbits for blackmailing others when it suits him.

Rod and Bernie are longtime coworkers in the "movie" biz. They've seen it all. Randy is the "new guy" who they like and are breaking in. That or he's just never developed the same thick skin.

Lance is the hotshot ace. It's all about him and he likes any movie where that's true. Trixie and Stella are two up and coming stars fighting over top billing. They want to out perform each other to get the big awards and the big money. Lance is happy to let them fight so long as he can think it's over him, when in truth they hate his guts.

Am I at all close?

Haha, love it!

However! It looks like the only correct part about your chunk of type there is that yes, Randy is the new guy, and Trixie and Stella are always at each other's throats, but not exactly about what you'd expect.

OH, and Doug is indeed going on and on about his personal woes, and Jordan just really doesn't care. Too busy playing Mario Kart.

createacomic In reply to Shira-chan [2009-02-22 02:35:39 +0000 UTC]

Are Allen and Chaz "new in town" fellows who want to break into the biz and are working jobs behind a fruit counter until they realize their dream? They strike me as the main characters who end up being janitors or something on set.

Shira-chan In reply to createacomic [2009-02-22 03:32:44 +0000 UTC]

Nah, Chaz and Allen work at the local coffee shop, Sundollar. They're not into showbiz in any way, shape, or form. They've got an interesting connection to Jordan, though, which will remain secret for quite some time.
