Otherwise it's just an expy earth

2018-05-24 02:25:56 UTC  

And if you want to go for that, you can

2018-05-24 02:26:01 UTC  

but that isn't what i am striving for

2018-05-24 02:26:46 UTC  

Idk one piece does alright

2018-05-24 02:26:55 UTC  

Keep it simple

2018-05-24 02:27:14 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:27:15 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:27:21 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:27:22 UTC  

lol

2018-05-24 02:27:28 UTC  

but it adds to the authenticity of it

2018-05-24 02:28:13 UTC  

Leaving it open also allows you to change it later

2018-05-24 02:29:18 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:30:18 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:31:49 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:32:21 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:32:35 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:32:57 UTC  

I don't see a problem with that for worldbuilding

2018-05-24 02:33:55 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:34:08 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:34:11 UTC  

that's simply how I do things

2018-05-24 02:34:27 UTC  

Worldbuilding won't even take that long lol

2018-05-24 02:34:48 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:36:34 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:36:59 UTC  

I can't draw well lol

2018-05-24 02:37:17 UTC  

It would help with how deep you want to go

2018-05-24 02:37:29 UTC  

No one draws for shit at the start

2018-05-24 02:38:13 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:38:23 UTC  

If nothing else learn how to color and shade

2018-05-24 02:38:43 UTC  

🤔

2018-05-24 02:39:30 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:39:53 UTC  

idk, i have never been able to shade well

2018-05-24 02:40:00 UTC  

I'm not sure what you mean by color

2018-05-24 02:40:12 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:40:22 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:40:41 UTC  

By actually coloring the comic

2018-05-24 02:41:05 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:42:21 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:43:22 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:44:27 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:44:30 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 02:44:58 UTC  

Putting all your eggs in one basket
