Jana, every teenager in the history of the world has been convinced that their parents are dumber than a box of rocks. In your case, it may actually be true. Good luck!

I really wanna hug your hogsona, she looks so cute in the last panel!

Dan Curtis

Fetish, noun An object that is believed to have magical or spiritual powers, especially such an object associated with animistic or shamanistic religious practices. For anyone who didn't understand Rah'jans bit.

1) Something about Druid-Evie seems meaner than regular Evie... 2) I always found it weird people asking for nudes of one's fursona cuz, you know, it's basically the character that likely based off you. An actual human behind the screen. 3) You mean curses, right, Rah'jan? 4) The stories and the characters in your comics are great. I sense you pour lots of love into each comic you shared with us thus far and will continue to do so! :)

Wow. Was not expecting this. To win! Glad we can help!

1. Ah, yes, traumatizing your significant other for life, truly the most effective way to get someone to learn from their past transgressions. Also, shouldn’t Evie be bleeding right now? That’s usually what happens when deer shed their antlers like that, so why isn’t she? 2. 😳 Girl, are you trying to tempt us into going into “forbidden fruit” territory? As I said before, I wouldn’t want to suggest something with your fursona that would make you uncomfortable, but that sight does bring my mind to some “interesting” areas. (Still nothing creepy, I assure you) Still, it is nice that you pretty much used this question to lay out at least one of the guidelines in terms of asking for anything potentially suggestive for Self-Pig here before anybody went too far. I would still say be prepared for someone to try to push that guideline to its limits anyway, because as far some people are concerned, the floodgates are officially open. Obviously, you have every right to refuse them, but I’m just warning you now. Also, in my head, your husband is the one taking that picture of you, promptly before joining you in the bath of course, assuming there’s space for him. 3. Oh Rah’Jan, you shockingly dense motherf*cker. Why should we even be surprised that he thought we were talking about the non-sexual meaning of fetish’s that I’m pretty sure most people of this generation don’t even remember or know about anymore? Who wants to bet those are voodoo dolls, btw? Also, I find Jana somehow knowing what we were actually talking about hilarious, because I can totally see Rah’Jan being that one father who just does not give a flying f*ck but whatever his more than likely 10-year-old kid exposes herself too, whether it’s appropriate for kids her age or not. I can just imagine her being a sailor mouth during casual conversation sometimes, talking way beyond her age, much to the shock and surprise of all the adults present in the room. Her first encounter and conversations with the Knights will be “interesting”, to say the least. 4. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that your two main non-erotic comics would be your favorites to work on. You did mention that Tree of Life in particular was one of your dream projects you’ve been wanting to do in a long time, and it must be liberating to get to tell this grand story focused on character development and growth and plot twists and turns, without having to find someway to work in some nudity or a sex scene every 10-20 pages at most without either/or. I’m also not surprised you had to cut some stuff out of both in order to get the story moving along without too much drag or filler. For example, i willing to bet that Nigel’s vision showing the sinking ship and the two krakens below it was originally supposed to lead into a scenario where the team had to try to defend the ship that, in the final product, they would get off of at the start of Chapter 5, from the chaos beast horde that Rah’Jan sent after them, lead by a giant sea monster chaos beast, because of course, that would of ended with their demise, had it not been for Alex and Lily transforming into their kraken forms at the last minute and saving the day, thus leading the team to find out the truth about Alex’s true identity as the God of Water, but also having the negative ripple effect of Rah’Jan being informed that he’s still alive and are assisting the Knights on their mission, thus making the already large target on the teams’ backs even larger, because we’ve already established that he has scouts more than likely posted everywhere keeping tabs on Luna, anybody else that could be a threat to his schemes and the Knights’ progress. The original Chapter 5 before that point obviously focusing on the teams’ experiences on the ship along with some fun interactions with each other and the other passengers, maybe even some further insight on the Knights’ personalities and thoughts on the journey so far, eventually leading up to that aforementioned climax. While this would’ve alleviated my earlier criticism about the transition from Chapters 4 to 5 being too fast and abrupt, and others feeling like we missed out on some fun interactions and adventures with the team on their boat, I understand if maybe you felt most of the chapter would’ve suffered the Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded problem of not doing much in terms of plot progression, and thus coming off as needless filler, until the very end, or maybe felt the reveal of Alex being the God of Water to the team and Rah’Jan getting the news of his resurfacing would’ve happened too soon at that point of the story, or even just wanting save your hands from getting sore from trying to make a big battle like that look perfect, or even the felling that a battle like that probably would’ve came off as redundant this early in the story after the team had, in our perspective, just survived previous encounter with a giant chaos beast up in the mountains two chapters ago and thus would’ve given us this feeling of “been there, done that”. This is often the big question you have to ask yourself as a writer. “Do I keep this in?” “Does this really do anything for this character’s arc?” “How much is the story really progressing if I include this?” “Is this development really necessary?” “Did this really need to be shown?” “Is this contradictory to what I was trying to say or set up?” “Do I reveal this now or save it for later?” And many other variants beyond that, and sometimes the answer is to make some cuts to either get a move with the plot or do something else with the point in the story you are at as a means to stay consistent with your vision. I will at least say this: While I have yet to read Welcome to New Dawn, though I know i will at some point, I have been reading and following along with your progress on Tree of Life and I think you and your husband are doing a really good job with it. Again, I do have a few criticisms, some things I probably would’ve done differently, maybe also some scenes I would’ve also included or extended a little, but I have been enjoying Tree of Life so far. I should also stress, whatever criticisms you receive from us you should not let bring you down, rather take these criticisms to heart and see what you can learn from them to make your work all the better in the long run. The only criticisms you should ignore are the ones that don’t do anything to help you improve and are just thinly disguised enough to look like “criticisms” but are just a means to insult you and your husband and treat you like yesterday’s gutter trash for no reason except, “I’m f*cking miserable, and I want you to be more f*cking miserable than me.” Treat any actual constructive criticism you see as a learning experience and I know you’ll prosper moving forward. While the road has been long and still ever longer yet, I know for sure I’ll still support you and your work on Tree of Life and your other comics, erotic or not, as long as I’m still able to and see your stories through to their eventual ends. Keep up the good work, Zummeng. (P.S. I know you technically didn’t answer this question of mine yet, but the side character/prequel story comic idea is still on the table if you ever consider it. 😉)

Ayyyyy Tree of Life and New Dawn are my favorites, too! New Dawn especially was a really moving read and Tree of life is delivering a wide range of moods and emotions. Though Gift of the Water God and Wishes were what drew me to your channel so those will always have a special place.
