SHAOLIN FUCKFIEND posted:Flipped through this today and yeah, I think the worldbuilding is pretty great, especially the juxtaposition between bright abstract fantasy and bloody, gory horror in the recent development. The demigod raven, kelp forest of trapped dead embryos and the other creepy, metaphorical creatures are awesome. Reminds me of Sandman a bit. But... then I read the rest of this thread. And holy gently caress, this could get too cringeworthy pretty fast if the author takes it in the wrong direction. Seems like when someone's roots are in deviantart and that kind of roleplay/fanfiction, they ALWAYS have to drag pieces of that awkward influence into their work, or they leave little hints of their inner depravity through the work like muddy footsteps. Oh, looking through her DA I found a drawing to go with some sort of story written by another DA yaoi type woman where a kid gives into stockholm syndrome and gets hosed by a pirate. Yup! It's a very noticeable "vibe" IMO, you can feel the deviantart in this comics blood pretty much. I mean a lot of stuff that many readers have no problem with stand out to me as being structured like fan-fiction concepts and DM exposition. Her rendering is really good and there is tons of vision displayed in the design (the current environment's probably be my favorite) but I'm not really holding out much hope for this not being incredibly cringe inducing on the characterization / plotting front.

anathenema posted:Crossed is by Garth Ennis, who is kind of famous for his depravity going into self-parody. If he and Ashley Cope were anything alike, this most recent chapter would have featured Duane fellating a dolphin or Lemuel eating an aborted fetus. Sorry clarification derail: The first Crossed is by Garth wich is what he was saying he liked, the other later volumes were by other dudes and contain the giddy, grotesque, gore porn that they found disturbing.

See my interpretation of that scene and a few earlier was that he kicked the poo poo out of her and banished her and the zombie (or something) and she concocted a convoluted narrative about her importence to him out of love. This stuff is also why I don't think there's going to be any shortage of grown men abusing children as character motivation in this tale.
