| EPISODE #0587: The End |
Yes. - When does this comic update? Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, barring any major delays involving sleep or computer failure. This schedule will continue until around early May, which is when I expect In Wily's Defense to end. - Why don't you have a character avatar? When I first started in sprite comics, I realized early on just how dumb an author character was. However, nobody appreciated breaking the fourth wall more than me, a person who often wrote comedic stories that did the same thing. Rather than making myself an author, though, I created the notion that In Wily's Defense was a television show. Hence why the story is separated into seasons and story arcs. I made Blues (Proto Man) into the produce, a character named Frenchie (created by Kevin Regan) into the director, and Sphere (created by Bort Handline) into God. This prevented me from having any role of power in the comic. I could have easilly put myself in the comic even to this day, it's that I choose not to. When I write a story, I try to speak through my characters, rather than say anything myself. Needless to say, I'm to the point where I don't feel I need an avatar, which, yes, does carry the awkward position of me being represented by my (mostly female) original characters instead. - Did you "draw all the little characters"? If you're wondering, this is how the question is often worded when people I know in real life see my comic. This is a list of characters I made specifically for In Wily's Defense: - Amy Wily - Plant Woman - Kiki - Magdelena - Death - Aria - Dr. Fiora Knight - Dr. Gabriel Knight - Jay Leno - Axl Rose - Dr. Yuri Slater - Satan And this is a list of characters I created specifically for Tales of Southtown (my other comic): - Fir - Keime - Thor - Ena - Calcius - Antillies - Janice - Tyrine - Can I use your sprites? I have serious trust issues about loaning people my sprites, to the point where I only let close friends of mine (ie: people I've known for a while and feel I could trust) use them. Please don't e-mail me asking for sprites of the above-mentioned characters. I *will* ignore you. Any other character, I'm now currently okay with. - Can I link to your site? You don't even have to ask, just do it. Traffic = good. - Can you link to my site? If I like it, sure. Since I have an associate's in web applications, though, I may give you pointers on how to make your website better. - Do you accept ideas for your comic? No. I did accept them for #0300 and #0400, but while #0300 is one of my favorite comics ever, #0400 came off as really weak and forced, and it was largely due to conflicting ideas. So, I scrapped the concept after that comic. Since In Wily's Defense is a plot-based comic and most of the intricate plot details are either stuck in my head or written out, I honestly *can't* accept ideas for the comic. - Why are you ending In Wily's Defense? While I appreciate e-mails of concern about this decision, I'm afraid this was something I came to after a lot of thinking. I never really had a definite plan for a fourth season and kept creating and scrapping plans. The only thing definite was a plot thread involving the International Robotics Committee. However, as time went on and I struggled to come up with a real story, I realized that my time limit for setting up foreshadowing had run out by this point. I had spent a lot of time setting up Season 3, so much so that I felt Season 4 would've just seemed "tacked on" if I had gone through with it. Instead of meddling with plot details trying to figure this stuff out, I elected to just write out a conclusion here, at Season 3. |
