Otherwise it's just an expy earth

And if you want to go for that, you can

but that isn't what i am striving for

Idk one piece does alright

Keep it simple

i think you conflate worldbuilding with what is seen in the story

The readers only get into it at the rate you let them

just because you create an entire universe doesn't mean you show it all

lol

but it adds to the authenticity of it

Leaving it open also allows you to change it later

That is true, but not anyone needs to leave their universe open for further changes

I want to establish things so everything remains as consistent as possible

And because I already have a good understanding of the universe I've created

What we are working on is a reconstruction of what we've already done, but something to buffer out all of the inconsistencies and things that do not make sense when we first began

My point is if you could be overthinking things that the readers might never see or even think about

I don't see a problem with that for worldbuilding

It could be surface-deep and have the facade of its own universe, and people can make that work and do as they wish with that

But I want to make it as detailed and deeply rooted as I can

that's simply how I do things

Worldbuilding won't even take that long lol

We've only a few more fundamental things to do, before we move onto the general history of the world

Idk still sounds like you should both learn to draw some so you can split the work

I can't draw well lol

It would help with how deep you want to go

No one draws for shit at the start

I've taken a few art classes here and there, and I was never a good drawer lol

If nothing else learn how to color and shade

🤔

Its art but there is a ton of stable techniques behind it

idk, i have never been able to shade well

I'm not sure what you mean by color

if you mean coloring in things, or if you mean choosing colors that go together or what

Neither did I till I took an art class and commited to understanding it

By actually coloring the comic

That is something we have not decided yet, if it is going to be black and white, or if we are going to color things

Art is basically like learning to write the alphabet with different styls being fonts

Pick an artist with a lot of work out and recreate their stuff till you get it then branch to your own style

It takes time to learn. It just sounds to me like you dont want to take the time

I understand that -- I just don't see why I need to learn how to draw, when that is what he will do
