So I've really enjoyed making Dizzy the Star-Scout comics, and I'm glad I took this month off to get that all out of my system. I've got one more comic with Dizzy coming out at the end of the month, but I'm not sure what I want to do after that, once I start going back to doing paid commissions and having less time for myself.
As much as I enjoy the look and feel of Dizzy, I just don't dig sci-fi, even with heavy fantasy elements. I prefer a world with lots of walking, dragons, and clockwork technology. I prefer demons and magic to aliens and starships. I've got an endless suply of material for Dizzy, and I did write out a pretty big synopsis of where I could go with her in the future, but I don't think I have the personal interest to keep it going.
The thing that I DID learn is that I want a female protagonist. Mark's been fun, but there are certain jokes that just require a female lead. Furthermore, I really want to keep the dichotomy of Dizzy and Lucky going, with a hypersexual female lead, and a submissive friend-zoned cuck who follows her around and never gets any. I think that dichomoty is like . . . my fetish or somehing . . . whatever, I just want that to be the main thing.
So, where do I go from here?
My first option is one the right of the image. Although I HATE HATE HATE developing stories and long plotlines, I COULD expland on Cadence, and have her graduate from being a Cleric to being a Paladin, making her a warrior with holy magic. I'll also make her aware that she is a vessel of Li Ban, and that her mother is evil. That way I can do the classic princess versus evil-queen thing. If I go this route, Mark will become a sort of reoccuring side-character, like Cadence's favorite fuck-buddy who she only sees once in a while. Her real sidekick would be Key the Thief, who would fulfill the role of the submissive hapless cuck.
The second option (and frankly the one the I might got with just because it's so much simpler) I to start fresh with a new character who is everything I want. Simple. Generic. No background. No story. No plot. No nothing. I hate all that shit. She'd be Scotia the Swordswoman. I hard drinking, hard fucking, hard fighting mercenary and bounty-hunter. She's just a bisexual badass bitch with a sword. Basically a female version of Mark, but with less baggage. Her cuck sidekick would be a cute goblin boy named Dunter or soemthing, who follows her around and tries to 'squire' for her even though she doesn't need his help. With Scotia I could start doing generic D&D jokes again, and I can avoid developing a backstory or continutiy for awhile.
Thoughts?
