I just don't want him to turn into a super grunge hero...
Did you see the featured deviation?

Are you planning for Aesk to grow up to be like that? Still a child can't possibly save the whole world while being well... a child XP He does need to grow up, it would make more sense.

Well people have told me they couldn't find any believability in the comic so pffft! Why start now?

People have said that to you? O.O I personally don't feel it's that unbelievable... (if you decide to adjust things a little that is) XP
Ahhh well, you said that you're only doing it as a hobby/ for fun, so we shouldn'treally take things that seriously XD Unless it's as serious as my project (which involves my future career), then it's fine

Hmm...
Well I appreciate your confidence.
Is grungy gritty adult Aesk really something you'd want to see?

Idk, personally to me, I just feel like all innocent characters should at least mature up a little bit if they were to face the cruelty/evil of the world XP
I have never written about young main protagonists sooo I don't have that much experiences with, or knowledge about them :v
But I do know that facing the painful reality = not as innocent anymore.

I definitely get what you mean and it's definitely the believable adult route I should be shooting for.
I have no idea how I'll handle it but I definitely don't want Aesk to float through the story unscathed or ineffected. That won't happen.

MapleKemon In reply to Jblask [2018-01-28 11:50:35 +0000 UTC]
Maybe try getting some inspirations by watching some shows or reading some books/comics with a similar protagonist as Aesk? From there, make a list of the possibilities of how Aesk would change throughout the story as he overcomes pain and hardship. Then, compare each possibility to one another to determine which fits what you want the most, and if that possibility would clearly deliver the story's message ^.^

That's a good idea. Ithe only thing is I currently don't see many stories with heroes quite as young as Aesk is. In the comic his age range is 5-7.

So he isn't edgy but spiky... (starts slowly baking away because of small fear of needles)
He does look edgy but less for the fact that he is black and more because he has red eyes (in addition to being black).
You have definitely made progress with SAI. Which are you having more, fun or problems?

lol Then I suppose you wouldn't like being around him then.
Those are probably the reasons why others usually think that he is. But well... Demian couldn't decide his fur or eyes color when he was born XP
A little bit of both I guess :>
