#no future comic

"A miserable 37 years old queer man's life gets accidentally cut short by a goddess. To compensate him for her mistake, which she cannot undo, time is turned back so that his teenage self can start to make better decisions and live a happier life. He's not all too pleased with the various gods that start following him around because of it— but even though his time is now limited, they insist that his happiness is worth fighting for."

Propaganda:

"A queer story about kindness and grief. It's funny, the character writing is excellent, the mythology is full of clever, well-researched easter eggs, it's got everything from fight scenes to touching emotional moments... Great for people who crave a long webcomic— 49 chapters out so far, many more scripted up. (Has a VN in the works, too!)"

Chapter 8 behind the scenes!!

As usual there will be spoilers for chapter 8 of No Future.

To be honest, I didn't think this was going to turn into a thing I would do, but uh... here we are I guess. Anyway I've been enjoying myself while slowly going through my old chapters (very slowly... because I keep stopping to type stuff) but as long as I'm not annoying anyone it should be ok. At least... I hope I'm not annoying anyone...

Anyway, I remember this cover kind of being a pain in the butt to draw, mostly because this is not a character I draw very often in the comics. It came out a little weird for me and I don't like it as much as my others, but it still works.

Hehehe...

Sorry... I don't have much else to say about this page. I just like how it turned out.

Andrew is not ok.

Visual jokes like this are always a lot of fun, but I have to be careful when adding them because of the nature of how I release my pages. Some don't people like getting an update notification for a page and then not getting anything to read cause a visual joke took up the whole page, and they are very vocal about it and will harass me about it.

This is something I learned when working on the webcomic I had before I started working on No Future, when I released pages without words, even if there was a lot happening, some readers would feel cheated over not having something to read. I would get comments and pm calling it a lazy update (even though it usually took longer to draw because the storytelling all needed to be done with visuals) and that I should release another page to make up for it. (my previous comic project updated much slower, from 3 pages a week, 2 pages a week, to 1 page a week as my health continued to deteriorate from drawing it)

I try not to have a repeat of that kind of harassment, so I try not to have too many comic pages without text, or too many pages that are 1 - 2 panels, as those were the ones most likely to get me complaints about me being lazy or accusations of cutting corners like I did with my previous comic projects.

From this point Abaddon talks a little about the situation with the gods (since Hannah aske), and how many are dead from the wars that had happened in their realm, more notably, she mentions all but 3 of Osiris and Bast line were killed, including their origin god, which makes them what is considered to be a dying race of gods, because without their origin god, no more gods can be created.

Andrew is a little traumatized by everything, though mostly with Abaddon's appearance and realization that she is now living there, Hannah not so much so, as this is all really neat for her.

Friendship get!

I like this scene, it's one of the few moments that Era and Andrew generally kind of bond. It doesn't come easy for these two at all, they just don't have chemistry that results in scenes like this very often.

I also like like this set of pages in this chapter, I just really liked how the imagery turned out, plus I remember enjoying drawing these pages, maybe some of that is because I like drawing rocks?? Who knows, I like how they turned out and I liked working on them.

Aeon also kind of gets the fact that he might have been an evil human in his previous life before being recrafted as a god dropped on him. Good job Osiris, you unintentionally started Aeon's personal subplot / existential crisis.

And we've reached the end of the chapter, this one has a lot of scenes that I remember fondly. Though there are also a lot of panels that are not ideal in quality. I think that is because this was the chapter that I started changing the way that I drew the eyes somewhere in the middle of it, so the extra amount of work that change caused me might have made my joints aggravated until it got more used to the increased work demand.

I remember in particular the last panel of Aeon, I was having a frustrating time trying to draw it because it was just not working out, but eventually had to stop working on it and move on because my arthritis was starting to act from from working on it for too long.

I made this for @kura-art-dump for her webcomic No Future! You can find the tumblr here: @nofuturecomic and the actual comic is here: https://tapas.io/series/NoFuture I made this for a video review of the webcomic which you can watch here:

They were created that way.

There's a lot of scenes I really like, and so many of them have yet to reach the comic x.x Though even picking from the ones I have made it into the comic so far is difficult.
