#AFamiliarWorld
#AFamiliarWorld is already slow in updating, but it's gonna be quite a while before the next chapter, cuz:

1) I'm gonna make extra time for piano practice, so I can figure the background music for the animatic I'm making

2) I want to take more time to iron out how the rest of book 1 will play out

The biggest motivator for me to go with rewriting #AFamiliarWorld to the story it is now is the idea that James could talk to animals and magical creatures that are also familiars.

I see a lot of fun to be had with expanding the cast with talking animals among the people!

It seems James is perfectly willing to become Diana's familiar. And the headmasters of Galinda Magic Academy are also willing to roll with it. Well, if all parties are fine with it, might as well see how it all plays out!

So apparently it's Maid Day as well as Mother's Day.

I could've drawn art of a maid character I plan to introduce later in book 1 of #AFamiliarWorld but I was caught unawares (that and I thought it'd be better to wait to actually introduce her)

Look, I acknowledge that #AFamiliarWorld is more isekai slop. But I take solace in the fact that:

1. It's NOT genAI slop!

2. My magic school is NOT a front to fund the genocide of trans people!

Now for a cursury discussion on the basics of this strange fantastical world, along with an interesting proposal...

"Ooh, this random idea would make for a great spinoff of #ThatShieldKid I should jot it down and figure out-"

Remembers that this particular webcomic was put to the side so I could focus on #AFamiliarWorld

"Oh right. Why do I do this to myself?"

Taking a moment to have a good hard look around, and talking to these strange people, will do wonders to figuring out what the hell is going on here...

And just recently I realized that it actually would be good to have this on my website, so it's there now too!

A strange glowing pentagram and a slip into a lake, just what is gonna happen when James resurfaces from this!?

GOOD NEWS!!!

I managed to get the next chapter of #AFamiliarWorld cleaned up enough to make me comfortable posting it!

Chapter 2 will be going up tomorrow morning on Webtoons, then will go up on my website in about a week or two when I get time to put the alt text together!
If things go as well as I think, I may have a few surprises to share for Halloween (or even the whole weekend)!

If anyone asks, James and Ryan always had backpacks in book one chapter one of #AFamiliarWorld and I totally didn’t draw them in months after posting it.

Shh!

Freshman year of college is quite the time to find out adulthood ain't all it's cracked up to be. If only James could get a different direction to take...

Jeez, how long has it been since I announced this project? And I hardly ever post about it? Probably about time I change that...

I'd upload the short on Bluesky, but I'd need to resize the short to get everything to fit, and I have let's play editing to do, so watch it on YouTube if you're curious.

A desperate plea from a young witch marks the beginning of a wild, magical adventure!

10 years ago today, I started posting webcomics and drawings online as SD Comics! God where did all the time go?

Zamazenta = references my previous webcomic, #ThatShieldKid

Delphox = references my upcoming webcomic, #AFamiliarWorld
(also a reference to my deep-seeded desire to become a wizard)

Experimented a wee bit more with my art style for #AFamiliarWorld literally all I did was noses and ears.

The instant I drew a nose on James, I instantly liked the change. It's weird how okay with this change I am, and it's so simple! What's wrong with me!?
I think posting my promo for #AFamiliarWorld was actually better for me than I expected, cuz I've been flooded with ideas for the past few days!

On the other hand, I thought of some other tweaks I should consider making for my art style AFTER I showed off the promo. Why do I do this to myself?

And there you have it. The isekai novels I've been trying to write are being reworked into a webcomic! I am honestly super excited about this new idea! It won't be ready for a while (I'll shoot for May 2025, #SDComics 10 year anniversary), but I am so excited to work on this!
