This is the masterpost of my worldbuilding series. I originally created this document in 2022 for personal use, and have since decided to make it publicly available for others who may find it useful. :P
The material is extensive and intentionally thorough. Rather than attempting to absorb everything at once, I highly recommend approaching it selectively; focus on the sections most relevant to your current project and build outward from there. Worldbuilding is not a checklist to complete, but a framework to support your creative work.
If there are additional topics you would like to see explored, you are welcome (and encouraged!) to reach out. I regularly expand and refine these guides, and suggestions are always considered.
New guides are made weekly! Make sure to check back often!

Hey, I would suggest looking up the history of blackface/racist depictions of black people. You seem young and Iβm sure you donβt mean to be offensive, but it is a racist plot point to use the mockery of black people as an βearth cultureβ that your main character must overcome. By changing it, your comic will seem a lot less racist and probably attract more readers
That wasnβt the point of that chapter at all. I made that chapter because I saw a bunch of people on the internet getting cancelled for covering themselves in a black or brown substances in a way that was not as a reference to blackface. Think: playing in dirt and getting dirty, traditional morris dance attire, someone wearing makeup the that is legit less than one tone darker than their natural skin color and you would have to squint in order to notice that itβs darker in the first place, people getting Malibu Barbie type tans.
I wanted to say that those people shouldnβt have been cancelled, and what they do isnβt offensive. The whole idea was βif aliens were to see this kind of weird illogical cancel culture stuff, they would be embarrassed.β
I planned on Umi and Oboko being used as a way of critiquing ideas in leftism that I thought were antithetical to true equality or just extremely illogical, but that comic strip I made just ended up feeling like the βlossβ comic strip from βctrl alt delβ. The comic up to that point was just lighthearted fun, and thatβs why I changed the comic to what it is now.
I think it was a little hypocritical of me to try and make the comic political when Iβm an advocate for there being more comics that one can use to take a break from the culture war instead of being inspired by it (mainly for mental health reasons).
But the thing isβ¦ I had planned that strip that youβre talking about in your ask before I even came up with the Umi and oboko story. (Before I came up with the story I made a bunch of concept art sketch comics and one of them was nearly identical to the comic about the covering yourself in a dark substance thing.)
The entire premise of the story and, most of the characters backstories are inspired by the aforementioned political subject matters I talked about.
Violetβs backstory was inspired by a true story. She was originally a girl from the UK. One day, one of her family members sadly passed away and as a way of honoring them, she decided to post the lyrics to her loved oneβs favorite song on her twitter. The only problem? It was a RAP song, and thus, it had a certain no no word in it, and as a result, she was arrested by the cops. Just as she was about to get sentenced the roof of the court room was RIPPED OFF, revealing a giant spaceship that came abduct her from earth.
Obokoβs backstory was that he was a member of a government organization on his planet for a time. For that job, he had to research earth, and thus, he was exposed to weird earthly cancel culture stuff, and it made him depressed. He was really REALLY depressed until he met Umi, and he is now recovering from the sort of trauma that existing during the 2021-2022 cancel era was. (This was definitely meant to represent my own traumas from being an impressionable tween at the time.)
Umi is meant to represent someone who hasnβt been exposed to that kind of negative stuff yet, and remains to be traumatized by it. A shining ray of hope.
What Iβm trying to say is that basically the entire premise of Umi and Oboko, the characters/their backstories/their planned arcs, and all of the story I have planned so far are intrinsically connected to the aforementioned political subject matters, and in order to do what youβre asking (in your ask), I would have to rewrite the entire story that I have planned and the characterβs motivations and arcs.
I will accept any constructive advice/writing advice on what I should do next, because what Iβve done so far on my own has gotten me banned from multiple communities! I need help!
Anon is an illiterate coward who won't even "bravely" share her thoughts on the heccin problematic """racism""" portrayed by the silly pink alien people on main. I wouldn't listen to her, OP. She's just virtue signaling and being condescending because she thinks whining anonymously on the internet is activism.
Anyways, you guys should read Umi and Oboko because it's cute with good world-building.
I'm sure you've been asked this many times, but what programs do yo use for your art? I just stumbled upon your GIFs from your ArtFight, and I'm in love with the style and movement.
i draw the assets digitally with procreate, which one can substitute with their digital art program of choice!
the main part here is planning the layout separation
i use blender for any tweening looping animation, with the 2d assets used as the UV texture on planes (see example for the chimera piece:)
while everything can be done in blender, sometimes i am lazy with creating materials and just layer stuff in a video editor (i use vsdc free edition)

Just wanted to say I love the guide to gods! It's soo in depth. I love that I can sink my teeth into it and chew on it (lol). I know it must have taken a while, but I wanted to say I appreciate your work :)
Thank you so much!! I'm honestly so happy people are saying it's going to be useful to them. I don't typically spend so long working on one subject because of how long it takes, but I felt Gods would be a good exception since it's so universal.
I spent about 4 months going back and forth on it, so I'm actually really happy people are seeing it.
I still feel like there's more I could've added to it, but it's a good start. I'll make sure to try and keep them coming for everyone :]
This has been in the works for a while in the background. With a rough total of 1550 questions (God Speed), this master list of questions should hopefully be useful to those of you wanting to build your own religions and gods in your work.
Before we begin, I must remind you, these guides are NOT designed for you to answer every single question.
Pick and choose what is most relevant to your work and build from there. Not all questions will apply to you and/or your world, that is intentional. These are meant to be open and broad in design, for you to skim and take from. It took me about 4 months of working in the background to put together this list. If it takes that long to just type out questions, imagine how long answering all of them with all of your gods would be. Don't do that to yourself.

If you guys want more in-depth and detailed guides like these, please like and reblog. It's the only way I can really gauge if people are interested in this type of work. It takes a long time to put these together, so every little bit helps.
One of the funniest things ever to me is when you meet someone who makes OCs for stories, ask them how long they've been working on them, they say 2+ years, then you ask them what the plot is and they just go DEAD silent.

Worldbuilding: The only guide on Gods you'll ever need (Part 1)
The Lament for Icarus (1898) by Herbert James Draper,
This has been in the works for a while in the background. With a rough total of 1550 questions (God Speed), this master list of questions should hopefully be useful to those of you wanting to build your own religions and gods in your work.
Before we begin, I must remind you, these guides are NOT designed for you to answer every single question.
Pick and choose what is most relevant to your work and build from there. Not all questions will apply to you and/or your world, that is intentional. These are meant to be open and broad in design, for you to skim and take from. It took me about 4 months of working in the background to put together this list. If it takes that long to just type out questions, imagine how long answering all of them with all of your gods would be. Don't do that to yourself.
Having said that, let's begin with the notable highlights, shall we? I had to break this into 2 parts because Tumblr has a word limit.

Just a PSA in light of recent events: I NEVER want or need any of you to, threaten, bully, or otherwise go after someone on my behalf. People are allowed to criticise me. They are allowed even to be mean to me. And if I draw attention to a negative comment, I fully expect you all to discuss it respectfully like adults in the post itself.
It is not OK to go after people on their own blogs for the βcrimeβ of criticising me. Please donβt do it. Not now, not ever.
W OP. It's rare to see people put their foot down on that shit. Opposing points of view are a part of life, learning to accept them over becoming bitter is so hard for people these days.
I wish more had this mindset.
