Description I honestly just feel like a piece of shit for not posting this sooner I had this finished for over a month now since February and I just feel like a total turd for just being lazy and not posting anything lately when I have tons of Drawings to put on here I apologize. But for real though I promise I'm going to be uploading more frequently and by that I mean once a drawing I like is finished it's going up here. I really should share stuff from my sketchbooks as well. I honestly feel guilt that a few people have called me out on for socializing on this site more than I post. Not a lot of people follow me but I feel like I'm doing a disservice to people that follow me so I'm going to take more responsibilities in posting art on here and my Tumblr and I'm also planning on opening up an Instagram cause really I need to spread myself and my art around more. Lately I've been Drawing and sketching ideas and I'm also anxiously working on a pitch for a comic contest I'm going to enter with Rocky going to be featured in it. This would be the first time I will actually utilize my mascot to be used in a storytelling sense that's been floating around in my head since Rocky's inception. Whether or not my pitch is accepted or not is yet to be determined but even if it gets rejected I'll still fix what needs to be fixed and try to publish the comic on my own or take it somewhere else it's kind of a dream project atm. I kinda hinted at it with some friends on here so I'm just going to summarize the pitch for the story he's going to be placed in. It's something I'd like to see in the form of Animation one day on my own or with help. Either way comics are a good way to test out this concept and character and other characters. If something is wrong I'll just set it to the side fix it and return to it in another form. Let me know what you guys think of this concept. Imagine a world where everything from horror movies to cryptid folklore and monsters from other dimensions existed and we didn't know about it all thanks to the secrecy of a powerful organization that pretty much puts the "freaks" in their place on this Earth.But all of that has fallen apart thanks to a security breach in one of the heaviest facilities on Earth housing some of the most terrifying creatures and cursed objects the world could ever have the misfortune of witnessing.All thanks to a security breach caused by one selfish asshole who releases all of the monsters out of Their containment using the breakout and confusion to escape and find freedom. Unfortunately the various monsters and creatures manage to overwhelm the military forces and literally all Hell breaks loose.The nightmares of the facility have gone free breaking the peace to torture, terrorize and mutilate thousands of innocent and guilty people alike. After finding his own freedom Rocky witnesses what his selfish thirst for freedom had caused seeing smoke and flames rise from a nearby city as he hears the blood curdling screams of many people over the horizon. Which sets him off on an adventure to right the wrongs he's caused, meeting some friendly faces along the way as well as some of the deadliest foes he'll come across. Hope you enjoyed my summary of my manga story. Feel free to use this ref sheet if you ever want to for some reason. Here's the two songs I think best fit Rocky's Character.

The second song is mosquito bite by Alexandros. (this song hasn't been officially released yet it just was featured in the Bleach Live action trailer, check that out and you'll see why I like that song)

Eyyy! Inks gettin serious! Great to have you and Rocky back!
Good hear about your plans man! Seams like you have clear goals (smart move going for comic contests!). And it's totes fine that you just hang out a lot on this site. One thing I've learned from DA is that it's mostly for socializing (or commissions) compared to webtoons or something, so you were doing the right thing XD. A social creator is a famous one! Also don't feel guilty for everything! I used to feel bad all the time because I would create hype for various series that I soon lost interest in (rip Vodak & Cool Rush). Just remember that on DA we're all artists with busy lives, and can understand being inconsistent for periods of time (it's other webcomic sites that you get impatient people, because they are just consumers).
---------------
One thing I recommend, or rather what I do, is provide different types of content for each platform i'm on. For example, I have it where instagram is for sketches or random characters that pop into my mind. Deviantart is where finished art and comics go. That way, my DA friends dont get bored with my insta, and instagram followers can find cooler art if they take the time to stop by DA! Also, hashtags are the key on insta. trust me!
-------
Whatever you choose to do, I wish you luck man! Let's work hard and make some great comics in the future!Β  Β Stay Cool!

Aye, my dude! I see you decided to strike back with some more Rocky art! Still lookin' as rad as ever!

Oh boy, that's quite an intense plot!
Didn't think Rocky used to be the type to terrorize and kill innocent people O.O he's still really cool tho

Yo, best of luck with the pitch! Hope it gets accepted X3

I love the facial expressions you gave him X3
It's always so hard for me to give a skeleton cartoony and badass expressions so kudos to you, dude!

You're art style is always a pleasure to look at X3
It's very pleasing for my visual cortex!

Can't wait to see more of Rocky and his legendary shoes his bros spicing it up in the future!

Also, my biggest apologies for STILL not getting those dang requests in! Time really is fierce, ain't it X.X
I really want to get them in as soon as possible (especially the villains one), but school is being a total butt right now XP
I know you're a super cool guy who's willing to be patient but I can't help but feel guilty.

Anyways, thanks for all the hard work, Inkboi! Remember that we're always here for Rocky's delicious gloves you ;3Β

Aye, thanks man it's always nice to know I have your support it means alot coming from a sexah badass like you.

Yeah I've been thinking about the plot for a while now and just thought it's Time to put it on paper. And just an FYI Rocky never has hurt or terrorized innocent people, he feels it's his fault he got people hurt or killed because he released monsters on to the world and pretty much unitentionally and indirectly ruined people's lives. Rocky is an ass but he's not mean enough to intentionally harm people. If I could describe what his character is like. He's the living embodiment of ADHD.

I guess my style leans more on the cartoony side but I guess it's also a blend of things I like. Cartoons and manga/Anime and comics XD Plus that's one of the reasons I gave him sharp teeth since I thought it would be easier to make facial expressions that way. I also reference alot of old Cartoon and look at how rubbery and stretchy they looked.

It's flattering to hear that my art is good such as a amazing dude yourself. Especially when lately I've been feeling like I'm too amateurish and bad.

Hope to get the story out soon even if I don't make the deadline for the contest.

It's completely fine dude take your time, you don't have to feel guilty about anything at least you upload compared to me X.X hope this new ref sheet helps you later on. I'm just happy I got to enter the contest and you deemed me worthy of second. Plus the fact your working on it at all makes me happy. XD school is important though. Stay in drugs kids and don't do school! But seriously appreciate it.

By the way I suggest you should enter the contest I think you'd be great I left some info in the status I just put up.

MislamicPearl In reply to Inkslicer [2018-05-04 13:53:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I saw it before and I'm really glad you put up the information But I just don't have the commitment or motivation to seriously start my own comic, especially since I'm not confident about my current art skills yet and the stories that I have in mind are still not fully fleshed out. Maybe another year

Thank you, really appreciate it, I'm glad I got two months at least to do it and even if it doesn't get accepted in the owner of Saturday am's Frederick Brown's own words just because it didn't fit them doesn't mean it won't be successful somewhere else. Example, attack on Titan was brought to and rejected from various publishers before it got accepted and became a hit.

yo! i just thought of this question so it might be stupid but in the manga will rocky have sidekick kind of people or travel buddies?

Inkslicer In reply to PMKawaiiAK [2018-05-04 04:11:41 +0000 UTC]

It's not stupid, but yeah I have some Ideas for some characters that may show up in some drawings Soon, I'm thinking that since I want antagonists to be bizzare silent hillish monsters and 80s style slasher creatures I was kind of thinking of making other heroic Characters like that of classic movie monsters like mummies, vampires (depending), werewolves, sea beast men or just humans but I'm thinking of two characters specifically to give it a three stooges/Ed edd Eddy feel.
