Would you ever consider posting Horizon Phase to a place like webtoons?
I am! It will be normal comic format (so not really long pages in the way webtoons normally are) So as long as Webtoon allows for you to post regular comic/manga format pages I should be good to post there! Otherwise I will probably post wherever I can get my grubby little fingers on~
For the comic will it be in color or black&white?
Black and white mostly! I will be throwing colour panels and spreads in when it's important or just when I feel like it for emphasis and fun~
Since it's June do you have any lgbtq+ characters in Horizon Phase? Happy Pride month! :D
Boy Howdy do I ever! These are just the ones who are canonically paired:
Miho and Paloma have been together since highschool Mugi and Yua (Yua is her bodyguard in this universe) Hebio Lin and Malorie have an apartment outside of the office together, everyone knows but doesn’t say anything Ren Toraji and the ultimate danger lesbians Scab and Hangnail~ Not pictured is Rakky and Yamato, (I have no updated art for Rakshitha, but Rakky is the MHVA combat professor, and Yamato is the principle) Gangan Davey there are a few characters besides that but they have no art I can show, and some are surprises for the comic~ Happy Pride month!
With Horizon Phase being it's own thing now will we be seeing new M.H.V.A students/teachers?
Yep! Nothing will change about MHVA except maybe it's name and it's location~ Instead of it's base being off the coast of Japan, it will probably be located somewhere along the new inland American Sea, or the Pan American Strait where the new inland sea meets the Atlantic~ We won't see MHVA for a long time in the comic but it does show up! Its importance is probably bigger now that their world is pretty flooded~ Davey is there from the first chapter though!

What the most difficult part when it comes to writing Horizon Phase?
Making it all fit together ^^; I have all the BIG scenes played out, it's the small quiet scenes, the every day scenes in between, the growing pains of getting to know people scenes that are really difficult for me to know where to put them. It's easy for me to chart the flow of conflict, but a lot harder for me to plan little things like that, especially since my characters relationships have developed over the years, I now need to translate that in a way where someone can read/see it and understand lol THEN I need to make sure I'm also not just hanging on useless stuff. For me, I notice tonnes of things about a place, its smell, temperature, vibe, and so I tend to overdo it on characters noticing things because it's something I'm weirdly hyperaware of. So the feedback from most people reading what I write is "you go on a bit too long about the feeling of a place" Making it all fit together ^^; I have all the BIG scenes played out, it's the small quiet scenes, the every day scenes in between, the growing pains of getting to know people scenes that are really difficult for me to know where to put them.

Which is how my scenes end up getting so long. I gotta learn when to shut up, and when to let the characters actions talk for me~ The hardest lesson of them all, pray for me x'D
Some doodles in between studio work, sorry I've been so quiet Dx Still working on the comic in the background~
Some Winston doodles~ Winston's two brain cells fighting for supremacy, and him admiring a little bit of definition from training. Because of his power, his muscles don't build from repetitive stress and healing done to the fibres. Every time his power activates it basically heals the muscle to its original state, preventing a lot of noticeable muscle development. Through short sessions throughout the day, and stopping before his power triggers to any pain or discomfort, he manages to slowly trail behind his fellow classmates physical development. Technically he doesn't NEED to bulk, since his powers make it sort of redundant, but it bothers him to feel like he's being left behind by the others who are making noticeable change and working hard.
WIP of two adopts for the next round~ First is Yellow Jacket, based off of the aggressive wasp, and the second is Anemiac, developed blood powers after a long battle with chronic disease that required many transfusions~ Two more to go to round out the group~
Horizon Phase has many complex and interesting villains with all sorts motives, but will we see any mustache twirling or Saturday Cartoon villains?
Awwe thankyou for calling them complex ;__: But yes I have a couple of absolute GOOBERS in there, like some real buffoons. Then some people who are causing trouble by accident after developing powers on like some random Tuesday afternoon, and also some not quite villains, but definitely some people who just get on the kids nerves, but they aren't doing anything where the kids can exactly stop them either. But we gotta have some good old-fashioned goons in there, because when Ivan shows up it'll definitely suck the wind out of the room.

Oooh can we learn a little bit about Charla and Diego? Love their designs.
Awwe thankyou!! Im pretty happy with them, even though they need a bit more work~ Deigo's ART causes his body to emit a boron-like substance which he controls by will, and ignites with a zippo lighter, allowing him to control the flames by controlling the gas that feeds it. Charla's ART is that she has maces in her head, so she can release the spiked balls that are attached to her with chains. She can shoot and retract them at will. She smashes down most anything with them~ I won't say their particular role, but they are apart of VIT and come from the same neighborhood and are friends~ Charla thinks Jin is such a cutie but they remain hidden away so the main kids in Horizon Program don't know about them yet
What would you say the tone of Horizon Phase is like? Is it more Avatar the Last Airbender or JJK?
That's...a good question, I think it will change over the course of the series, I think the beginning arcs are pretty light and fun, but gradually get darker. I do think there are parts that pick up when it gets too dark. I'm not entirely sure what I'd liken it to tbh I definitely have parts that I've paced based off works like Cowboy Bebop, sometimes goofy, sometimes heavy, sometimes sad so I can't really say, I guess I'll have to get those chapters out and let people decide. But I think it's definitely overall heavier than Avatar, but I love the humour in Avatar and I definitely took notes from it when it was important to pull back on the heavy.
What would you say is the main lesson or question that Horizon Phase ask or anwsers?
I'm not sure if I have any one firm message that I think I want people to take away from this quite yet, but I did start with one phrase in mind that I repeat to myself whenever I feel like I'm losing focus on the point. But I wanna keep it a liiiittle bit of a secret. (Otherwise I don't think people would actually read it when it comes out x'D) There are some things I have said I wanted to explore in it, like a persons right over their own body, identity, fitting in, culture and it's role in a semi-post apocalyptic world, found family, and how we form new culture and traditions. I think I will say some things I haven't really decided on, and exploring it through the comic will allow me to figure out what it is I want to say about those topics. But a lot of the topics are kinda special interests of mine, I also wanted to explore some of the uglier parts of humanity, but also a lot of the beautiful parts of it too. So I suppose people will have to make up their mind when it comes out! I am currently working on the storyboarding for the first chapters, and was hoping to release a chunk of chapters soon, I'm working another small studio job and my kitty is having some health issues so I've had to push it back a little bit. But it is all scripted up until Winston and the main cast meet so now I just have to draw it all lol~
I hope it will be interesting though, I'm not sure if what I have to say is significant, and it definitely won't be poignant or anything, but if my characters are fun then I at the very least hope people have fun with all the action!
If you were to give Horizon Phase a maturity rating (G, PG, PG-13,R), what would it be?
It's definitely not an R rating, but it does deal with some heavier topics once it gets going. I'd say it's probably TV-MA (16+). I actually cannot stand gore or anything like that (I'm hilariously squeamish) but there are a couple scenes of pretty rough fights with limb-loss, Hebio gets shot at least once ect Nissa's backstory alone probably set the entire thing up a rating ^^
So, the origins of superpower began when icebergs broke away due to global warming, releasing ancient bacteria and micro-organisms into the world. However, if ancient bacteria was able to survive this long, does that meaning other ancient life survive? *Jurassic Park Music Starts Playing*
Ryoka is a good example of it! Her feet are unironically based on the velociraptors from Jurassic part because I remember thinking they looked so cool as a kid haha
She's a little bit of everything because her dna is all spliced up with some of the greatest hits of reptile evolution~ A little bit of frilled lizard, dilophosaurus, horned lizard (her lil eyebrow spikes and the spikes at the end of her frills) She also has a crocodiles armored tail~
Nothing really survived the freezing in a way, but the mixture of the bacteria, radiation, ancient creatures and bugs stuck in the permafrost all kinda work together to make some FUNKY mutations. The only thing I think survived in their world is some freaky ass insects. It does however make some VERY wild marine mutations~

Charla and Deigo~
Within the world of Horizon Phase do vigilantes exist? If so do you have any vigilante ocs?
They do and don't depending on the area. On the Sat Cities where Winston is from, there are no vigilantes at all because Art users are heavily monitored and not allowed to use their powers even for self defence against regular humans. In the city where the main story takes place there's actually lots, but they don't necessarily take the same form as most people would think. They aren't all combat vigilantes, but the ones that are are Wu Xiaoting, who runs with a group of vigilantes who protect the Chinese district:
Then there is Yoshiro, Kaoin, and Togi who work together to protect the mutant encampment far away from the city
Shimi and Ryoka have had to defend the community centre a few times from human thugs who like to start stuff with them, the police tend to side with them, (mostly because Ryoka's mom is a cop and Shimi's dad is an ex- Shingestu member and even the corrupt police don't wanna get into something dicey by charging them for absolutely pummelling them lol
The last main combat vigilantes are Ren and Kuze, who are on the run for nearly killing a guy who used his power to assault Kuze's sister. So now they spend their time going after worse criminals and delivering them bloodily to VIT. They are more anti-heroes in the sense that they don't mind taking dirty money from a criminal organization to get rid of their ops if their ops are scumbags.
A good chunk of characters who are vigilantes though are doing things like preforming underground healing, food production, and surveillance in order to make sure their communities are protected. There are laws in place about abilites that allow people to copy things or produce edible food being outlawed, but people do it anyways as a means to survive~
Winston is actually technically a vigilante for a short time, but I will go into it more in the comic haha
