Lore/Story Aftermath Chronicles (potential scripts for comics)

Hey y'all!

Recently an idea came to mind of making my headcanon of what happens after WTP into small comics; I already have ideas for about 10 episodes that would be 4-ish pages long each, creating a small storyline that I call Aftermath Chronicles.

However for the life of me I can't draw (or at least to make something decent it takes me ages) so I don't know if I'll ever have the patience to make something like this.

Though I have written down the scripts for the first two episodes, which I believe are cool and worth sharing, again even if I don't know if I'll ever make something out of this.

________________________________

Also, a guildmate gave me an idea. If anybody wants to give it a go, anyone can try to make one panel or as many as they like.

If it gets picked up enough, it could turn into a big collab project

 

soo good i would love this a real comics

 

that would be great

 

what you do is a new thread with the story but recruiting drawers willing to do it then make a disc channel and have the inv avaible for ppl that want to help!

 

Yeah honestly if I feel motivated enough I might do a new thread

Unfortunately forums don't allow postings of discord invite links but that's a cool idea as well, I might find a workaround

Also I want to keep it a "chill" thing, with no obligations or responsibilities to take, just something that anybody with time to spare and is willing to do can pick up

 

ya that sounds good to bad you cant do invites
