Ian Flynn's magnum opus is finally out is anyone going to read it.

Dragon shota is appealing, but knowing Ian Flynn this won't go in a direction that interests me

Wow how original, never seen anything like it. Totally interested.
>>
>>151213668
>>151215291
>Shota
I thought it was just a flat girl.
>>
>>151215121
I'd do it if I didn't know for a fact it would immediately get circulated off-site and then nobody would buy the book. If nobody buys it, we don't get volume 2 for years. I shared it with a few friends on private channels who weren't terribly interested since I knew they wouldn't even touch it otherwise.

That said, it was really good. A bit chatty, but it's well paced and the characters go through a decent arc without the story saying "this is a character arc" the way Ian's stuff tends to. The action scenes are fun, the setup is strong, liked how it all went down.

I really wish they made like the first 10 pages a free preview or something. Adam's art throughout is strong with just a couple hiccups, but those first dozen pages are wonderful.

She's a girl. Has weird spiral scales where her nipples should be that work as mana batteries, so you can write or draw her with Ilulu tits with very little suspension of disbelief.

She's got a fat ass, though. Spends about a dozen pages in her undies. Next volume is the land of amazonian lizard women.

It's Sci Fi. They live in a weird Dyson sphere planet where the oceans are miasma that turns people into mutants.

>>151216890
I think most of his comics are ass, to be honest. Most of his best work was before 2010. I'm just not gonna lie about it when he does something right.

Book's good. Wish his Sonic stuff was half this good. Wish his Mega Man wasn't way more misses than hits. Forcing him to not reference shit unless he made it himself so he has to deal with the fact that he can't rely on the audience already knowing stuff improves his writing so fucking much, it's insane.
>>
>>151213668
Liked it better when it was free
>>
>>151217150
The free version is ass by comparison, but I get what you mean. They dumped most of the original plot.

Wynd fighting a bat got replaced with her to making a really stupid move for treasure that nearly kills everyone and explains a bit about the setting. The unnecessary cop scene got rolled into the Lisie flashback to set up the series antagonist. Getting stuck in traffic and watching a bloodsport was swapped for grave robbing, saving a dying man, and an Alien sendup. Most exposition got weaved into character work. They introduce Wynd's dragon form early and have great action scenes with it, Foren, and the ship. They do a way better job establishing Lisie as more than a cute sweetheart and give her a neat superpower. Elements from the cold open and flashback are integral to the back half's story and the setting lore dump lays out the road trip aspect and allows for more organic plot progression.

I want to know where the fuck THIS Ian has been hiding for the last decade.

what happened to that one comic story with a black kid (that is totally not shadow) with super powers and a sonic-ish bunny fighters protectors of a city?
>>
>>151219169
That one's Endless Fantasia by Daniel Barnes and Mauro Fonseca (with other artists rotating in and out, presumably). This one's Ian Flynn and Adam Bryce Thomas with others on side material.

EF had a Kickstarter and is still in production. Drogune was made out of pocket and had book 1 come out today.

She even has the black energy balls with white hand outlines when she's spellcasting like in the 00s cartoon.

an autistic sonic fan started the thread to begin just to get people shitting on it, it's insane
the webcomic version of this was shit, I've not read this version yet, but no matter how shit either were or might be I salute Ian trying to get away from the mire of just being Sonic Guy
>>
>>151216966
>>151216430
having reread the original webcomic version right before this, you can tell that Ian took people going "this is too slow paced" to heart (honestly the pacing of the free version didn't bug me on a reread, but that's partially because I was reading it all at once instead of having to wait a page a week)

I remember there's some unfinished middle version between the original webcomic and this final one that had a few pages posted to the patreon; it was in color (might've been colored by Matt Herms? or ABT deliberately emulating Matt Herms' style) and plot wise sounded like it was gonna be the same exact plot of the webcomic version with the pacing tightened a little, instead of the brand new plot the final book had

Now we just need enough Klaws McGee issues to get a physical book
>>
>>151213668
Can't buy it this month l, I'll wait till December.
>>
>>151225595
>(honestly the pacing of the free version didn't bug me on a reread, but that's partially because I was reading it all at once instead of having to wait a page a week)
that's genuinely a problem he's had for years that I hope this signals he's trying to change- he writes for the trade extremely hard. Re-reading the zombot saga, or Mecha Sally, or so on, it reads fine now it's all out and I can binge it- but I remember how dreadful it was when reading it as it was coming out
>>
>>151225714
I think one thing that helps with this incarnation of Drogune's pacing is that we *are* basically getting "the trade" all at once, and it also didn't have to be segmented in issues beforehand; I feel like Seasons of Chaos was one of Ian's better-paced IDW stories, and I can picture a version that was 3 20-page issues instead of a single 60-page story would've had worse pacing.
>>
>>151225770
Oh yeah I don't doubt the reason this works is because it already IS the trade, but to me, the fact he realized "oh I have to write it all in one go I can't just keep stringing it along" is a hopeful sign

>>
>>151225595
I don't think it was fan feedback that did it here: it was several publishers going "Sorry, no thanks."

The original version isn't awful or anything, but it lacks a hook. The new version is much better at getting the audience's interest and leaving some bits dangling for later.
>>
>>151215121
This, if I read it and I like it, I will have a better chance at buying it. At least half my shelf is because of /co/ storytimes.
>>
>>151228797
The problem is the writer has a ton of autistic haters who would use a full dump to try and dissuade people from actually buying it. I'll definitely dump and storytime the full thing when Vol 2 is coming out, but this thing just launched and isn't a proper, retail release where the money is made before release day.

So how about this: I'll storytime the first segment of the book and a few cropped shots of parts from later in the book as a preview. Sound good?

I'm also dumping the bedtime story Wynd reads Lisie. The free webcomic version used the same text, but the art was redone for the new draft. Thing is, the paid version is in grayscale because the publishing service they used only does full color or full B/W. They put these pages up on Patreon almost a year ago, and there's no sense not sharing them: they're the lore primer.

I think it's more convergent influence than anything. The actual content of Drogune leans way more into American pop culture, but the aesthetics are pulling heavily from late 90s to mid 00s Squaresoft, Namco and Capcom, much like the works of young mangaka these days.

That's what I've got for you guys. About a third of the book, and enough context to feel out the overall plot without spoiling the ending sequence.

If you like it, please support it. It really doesn't get more indie than this, and $10 for 80 pages is a good price imo. If you don't, tell me why it's bad! I want to talk to people about this book and it's a pain when the threads are nothing but retarded Sonic the Hedgehog fanboys.
>>

That's because it is.
See:
>>151229479

I really wish Adam just did his draft and then did the second pass with B/W in mind, but I get it, they've got no fucking money and therefore very little time to actually sink into this book. Just doing the lineart once and then leaning on built in effects in CSP makes sense.

Aside from a couple bad panels I think the character art is pretty strong.

They're talking about trying to fund a color edition alongside a series lore primer (Ian wrote a bunch of shit and then realized most of it has nothing to do with the story, but still wants to publish it) and a short story anthology.
>>
>>151229757
Maybe it's just me, but I'm happy they skipped explaining all that shit and started with the characters living a normal day in their lives. Between the Drogune Ruins + Lisie birth flashback and the storybook and the jargon talk throughout, they explain the concept of the world pretty well imo.

He's performatively liberal and has a kink for tomboys. He likes tall girls, muscle girls, chunky girls, big tits and fat asses, but seems indifferent on slender and mainstream-fashion. If he actually was sex-negative and hated hetero he wouldn't immediately jump to artists like Thomas and Griffiths for his stuff or promote things like this.
>>
>>151229329
this is probably the biggest show of the change in storytelling priorities; the fact that Drogunes have dragon forms clearly seems to be something that was gonna be a big epic reveal late into "book 1" of the original version, but here it's being shown off in the first major action setpiece
>>
>>151230740
>If he actually was sex-negative and hated hetero he wouldn't immediately jump to artists like Thomas and Griffiths for his stuff
Counterpoint: Ian doesn't look into other people's work so he very likely doesn't know the coomer artists are coomer artists.

>>151230844
Ian's close buddies with both ABT and Griffiths, he undoubtedly knows (maybe he doesn't know about Griffiths' nsfw alt, but Griffiths posts plenty of tiddy on main)
>>
>>151230758
Way worse. On the podcast he said he had a "big reveal" planned for a couple books in, but Adam and others had to argue that nobody would fall for it at all. Nixing this and introducing it at the start apparently freed up a lot of pages, helping them condense the story.

He didn't say it was the dragon form, but it's really obvious that's what he meant. Which, Jesus Christ, a four year old could tell, what was he thinking? Similarly wanted to introduce Lisie near the end of Book 1 (nixed that back in the webcomic version) and had a side character who only existed to be a long term subplot leading up to a big reveal halfway into the series that gets him killed off.

Ian's his own worst enemy with his need to make everything build constantly. It is insane how much just letting things happen quickly helps this book.

>>151230844
>he very likely doesn't know the coomer artists are coomer artists.
He's run defense on JenHen and was part of the fanart crowd in the early 00s. His early fanfics were based on 90s anime and he would constantly talk about Rogue's tits in them. He knows. He's a fucking furry. Of course he knows.

The people who want to spite Ian refuse to give him money.
The people who dogmatically support him won't post anything at all.
And anons like me who just like comic books and hate Sonic autists aren't stupid enough to dump the whole book.
>>
>>151230946
That’s just because Ian has a weird hangup against Tails getting any love interests.
He’s fine with Sonic, Knuckles eg being smothered by girls.

>>151230068
It's a thread by a specific hater with specific obsessive talking points and style to it, or by one of his cronies. He enjoys doing the vague veneer of "support" and going "I'm just trying to help bring attention and talk about thing" while enjoying how it just sets things up for autistic screeching. A man who lives entirely in bad faith, though I wonder if he even understands that. You can see by how fast the thread doesn't even try to discuss the comic- it just opens by ironically calling it a magnum opus and then keeps bringing up random unrelated Sonic arguing points instead

I liked that he had broader shoulders, but a lot of that is just his outfits here being designed to slim his silhouette. The hair was the right call imo, but not so much of it and not so different in shade from his fur.

They showed off the first few pages of the final-script version of Book 1 just under two years ago, but they redesigned the cast one last time and redid a bunch of pages. This sample the showed Patreon members is the early version of

I don't think the guy who was writing entire paragraphs about Rouge's tits in his early 20s failed to notice that both artists he sought out to work on his comic publicly draw huge fucking titties.
>>
>>151230995
Not Slashy, but I storytimes Drogune several times when it was a webcomic just because I wanted people to say literally fucking anything about it, good or bad.
>>
Ian isn't naïve and he understands he has colleagues that draw porn and he knows that's how the internet is. But he never struck me as much beyond a normie in that regards himself. You get these kinds every so often- befriending the degenerates and going around those circles, but not really in that vibe themselves. He works with Adam because they're friends and Adam is willing to work in this, same with the artist for Klaws McGee, not because of their coom work; he'll promote their personal work too if it's not too explicit, because again, promoting a friend and colleague's work.
>>
>>151230975
Ian rolls with (and gets bank rolled by) twitter/tumblr types that don't like heterosexuality. I use tumblr enough to see that a lot of the shipping and sex negative culture has rubbed off on him. It's why he would want Amy's Boom design to be her main design.
>>
>>151231145
Gonna point at this
>>151229505
and emphasize Ian is the one who demanded tall, well built dommy mommy race whose men are all shotas.
>>
>>151230564
Anyone close enough to know his stuff is never gonna spill, dude.
>>
>>151231256
This is an example of how he exists in these mediums but doesn't strike me as a coomer himself, anon. You or me see the premise as "omg instant /ss/ tribes", I'm pretty certain his point of view was primarily just "interesting to make a tribe of amazons where the stereotype of the strong male warrior is inverted". I don't doubt he understands the potential in it for lewdness, I just don't think it was his motivator.
>>
>>151216484
Oh yeah Ian flynn really likes lesbians. Not that its a problem or anything.

Maybe if he's promoted their work (and bothered to look at them while doing so) but these colleagues are often unaware of what they're doing when working on the same book. They definitely don't have deep knowledge of each other's personal works.

>>151229564
I'm not reading it.
I wish he'd go back to doing Megaman, but apparently he hated doing Classic.
>>
>>151231711
Udon announced Archie Mega Man reprints with Ian doing new stories for them, dude. You're mad at shit you made up in your head.

He's said in interviews he never wanted to do Classic and wanted to do X this whole time.

That's IDW Sonic, and that's Gigi Dutreix, not a personal close collaborator to Ian. There's a difference between what he does as a job and when he's doing personal comics with friends of years. Surely you can understand this, anon- that when, say, Bendis writes a comic, he doesn't always know who the artist will be and doesn't befriend them- it's a job, he writes a script, he sends it in.
>>
>>151230995
This is only the result of /co/ having a massive hateboner for him.

Any legitimate drogune discussion thread would get ignored.

I hate the Sonic cycle.

He writes for the games and he is more controversial now

It's giving massive 'Shonen Jump axebait' vibes. Not terrible, but not interesting. The dragon design gives me Breath of Fire 4 vibes, which is neat I guess.
I don't really get the bitching about how you can't talk about Sonic, when, let's be real, however many copies of the book got made, like 90% of the supporters were probably Sonicfags anyway.

>The inking makes it feel like it's an unfinished/uncolored comic than an actual black and white produced work.

What is wrong or different about the inking compared to other comics? Genuine question, I'd like to learn and have better criteria.
>>
>>151235073
They used greyscale instead of proper inking pens so it feels less like a webcomic or manga and more like a concept art for a colored comic
>>
>>151232115
You can't trust anything he says in these videos.
But I'll ask /sthg/ about their sources.
>>
>>151235073
The comic is using screentones where you would use color fill and for lighter (colored) lines. B&W comics tend to use hatching and line breaks for grays and screentones for patterns and dark colors.

Sailor Moon uses screen tones EXTREMELY heavily, so it's a good example to compare with this.

>>151235172

Okay nevermind it was fan speculation, not an interview.

Klaws McGee is better because it was a simple concept. I feel like I need a companion guide to understand what is going on.

>>151236214

"Any and all kinds of life can arise here."
>>
>>151236214
They're broke so they can't buy food so they're scourging an oasis for food and mana.

The oasis they go to isn't being fed by a layline (basically a magical tether) to NordAstra (location of big mana), so it must have its own source of mana (big crystal).

So is most of this book just random 1 page moments with no context?

I thought these were extra pages from the book that were not tied to any story. Regardless I found the main story confusing so I will not be picking this up.

You're terrible at pretending to be retarded, Slashy.

Oh definitely, dude.
For sure.

Is it the same shit that he put out years ago and never continued?

>>151236768
They made a webcomic version and then rebooted and made a proper comic.

>>151236738
You are coping but it is possible for people to not like this

>>151236623
Also one of my friends showed her friend this and she was confused too.

Nobody said otherwise.
It's just really fucking obvious this is you, Slashy.
>>
>>151236964
You are coping that other people do not agree with you.
>>
Do people want to talk about the comic or screech about namefags?
>>
>>151237076
If you actually had something to say, I wouldn't care. But you're too stupid to actually discuss it or come up with any actual criticism, so you're just going "wooooaaah, I don't understand, it's so confusing brooooo" when it's a stupid comic aimed at kids.
>>
>>151237202
Sure. Go for it. Tell the thread what you think.
>>
>>151237202
>>151237362
Oh, you didn't actually have anything to say.
>>
>>151237362
I just bought the comic itself.
>>
>>151237826
Fair enough.
If you finish reading it before the thread dies, praise it or shit on it. I wanna hear what people think.
>>
>>151237889
I thought the preview was garbage but my friend in the discord call wants to see the whole thing.
