Content

I was planning to finish the current Mecha Belt scene first, but I'm not sure it's worth it. I've been feeling bad about spending so much time on this comic, I don't think you guys find it very engaging. And if that's correct, I shouldn't give this 1 or even 2 more page batches purely out of sunk cost fallacy. But ofcourse I don't wanna do something like this without asking you first.

I do think there's parts of Mecha Belt you would have enjoyed, but it's not reasonable to expect you to sit through pages and pages you don't care about before you see those. So I think I could have made this comic work if I had presented the story better. I still want to improve at storytelling, but for now I'll bench the more long form projects I was planning.

I'll also try to explain each future comic option in greater detail so you have a better idea of what you're voting for.

If you're curious about what's going on in the current Mecha Belt scene - since it was gonna be explained in the next page - , all 3 of them are playing some sort of AR game and Sol's girlfriend is playing while cryosleeping somewhere else in the ship, that's why she can't touch them while they can touch eachother.

I include the last option in this poll just in case there's people who do enjoy it, but I'm pretty much set on moving on to another comic. Sorry about how this one turned out.

Yes it's not as engaging as say the first robin introduction scene was, but I can't tell you how many comics just didn't catch my interest the first few pages only to completely catch my interest later or outright become an all time favorite. I think the kicker here was it wasn't reallt described well in the planning interest stage, but things happen, id much rather you finish what you wanted to accomplish, love or hate, than for you to just drop it.

Not everything will be or has to be my cup of tea. I’m here for the long haul. 90%+ AAA content. I think the shorter little one-off panels are a great way to bridge and keep those engaged who aren’t as into the current work in progress.

Thank you. The thing is, what I wanted to accomplish is make something most of you like, truly. I don't enjoy drawing it if you guys are not really into it. But maybe I'll rethink it, since so far the option for finishing it is winning. I just hope people are not voting that just because they think I'd like to continue it

Thank you. Yeah, I thought that kinda works, but I do aim to draw comics you, the people who pay me money to draw comics, wanna see. It just feels really inconsiderate on my end

I actually really like it lol I’m down to see where it goes!!

Is it going to get into the reason why they're so ibto denial as a culture trend?

DeprivedArt

Originally it wasn't. I just wanted to sort of make their different views on sexuality clah (Sandra who does denial out of shame, Sol who does denial for fun and June who has an almost too casual view on sex), but I actually edited in a lore reason for Sandra's moon Mimas being so anti sex, in page 3. I thought maybe it would make it easier for the reader to go with the concept? Although maybe immortality is too big of a concept to be casually introduced like that lol. Feel free to let me know what you think about that, I'm interested.

It's not my cup of tea and yes there was a part I think that I liked but you create a lot of good content anyway so I don't mind you continue creating it and improving your storytelling that way. (:
