I could have sworn I posted this ages ago... but apparently I didn't. So yeah. This was a picture I made for Marid's Patreon Β over a year ago XDRelated content

Something about this reminds me of the classic Saturday morning cartoon "Freakazoid" - I think it's the hair - and that manic grin!

I've been reading the comic since discovering that Griha was the star of one earlier this evening - I'm on page 118 so far and loving the sheer amount of personality she has. Easily one of the best genie characters I've ever seen! You created a wonderful individual, and I'm loving her and RJ's story. I particularly like how she's not a temporal fish out of water, and as far as genies go, comparatively young, being from a specific time and place in history. He discussion with Serge over his history paper was just a wonderful thing to read - two characters with so much differences just bonding and enjoying one another's company.
You've also got a really clear and definate vision of the genie experience, its rules and obligations, and this slow-drip method of releasing information is working great in keeping me interested. I'll definately be sponsoring you on Patreon if I can improve my cash-flow a little

I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying the comic! I absolutely love Griha's personality...! There's not many things that throw her off, but she still has a lot of things she hasn't experienced, keeping her excited about life
It makes me so happy to know the comic is keeping you interested! I always worry about my story telling... My genie rules are carefully thought through though and my main aim with it was "Ok this is Aladdin... so we're going to go and take a step to the left from this!" so when people read the comic, they don't get any hint of Aladdin's genies. It's a unique read 
And supporting me in Patreon would mean the world to me <3 Make sure to look after your own household first though!

Sorry for the delay in replying, but thanks so much for the fulsome response. I can really see what you've said in her - that excitment combined with a sort of well-travelled experience.
Interesting that you specifically chose to go in the opposite direction of Disney's Aladdin - given that film is the touchstone for many people's present-day conception of the genie, I can only praise that as a bold step that for all its risk has paid off. And with that tease of yours I'm bouncing in eagerness for Chapter 9 myself
And yeah, if I can get the cash together, I'll definately support you on Patreon

Perfectly fine! We all have busy lives so responses sometimes take time. And that's perfect description! Excitement + Well-traveled experience. She is also like an old grandma combined with a young adult. She has the strict respect demanding pride with a come back insult ready to launch, hahaha!
It's risky, but if done right, it's rewarding. If you follow the rules of popular media, especially something as known as Disney, you risk being compared to it at all times. "Aladdin did this better. Genies wouldn't have done that... So is your story going to have a talking parrot?" and that is a sure fire way to kill a passion. I thrive in coming up with unique concepts! Stuff that the readers don't see coming. Not to mention how my favorite move is to make them think they know what's coming, and then go "Nope! I'm not that predictable!"
Ohohohooo you're not the only one excited for Chapter 9!!! Chapter 8 is unfortunatelyΒ on hold due to external hard drive incident, but I heard news today that things are going so far so good with the data recovery! After that... watch me draw!
