Webtoon Sample
🕑 Added 2023-09-05 00:12:10 +0000 UTCI was fussing about with OFD pages and decided to turn the first two pages into a webtoon, censored and all. I thought you'd all be curious to see the process. Scrolling format comics are always deceptively difficult, so it was a challenge not helped by my messy ass artwork up close.
So some business talk. The future of OFD is something I'm currently deliberating in terms of where I go next with it. Not in 'do i want to continue doing this' as I'm probably pernamently married to this project for the rest of my natural life, and chapter two will be coming soon, but more in a 'where does this go exactly' on the internet. Drawing a comic is a massive undertaking, and as an artist, you always want to make sure you're not burning out while still getting enough compensation to make things worth it. I've thought about keeping this comic purely to Patreon, and really, that is the plan to always have pages here first, always completely uncensored, but it's difficult to draw in new readers. So that means uploading it to different places, generating traffic and allowing others to enjoy it. But OFD is a NSFW comic, and specifically NSFW in a way where sex/nudity is weaved in through the story, making it difficult to upload to various places. Changing the story to make it more credit card friendly is not something I want to compromise on so - do I upload to a third party website, do I make my own website, do I keep it here. The answer is probably some weird hybrid system of censoring the tiddies and sex, and keeping the fully censored versions on another place. You have to shamelessly plug this stuff but c'est la vie, the life of an artist.
For now, I'm currently redoing some of the pages so you are going to see some changes with the first chapter. This first chapter was basically a test on style and now that I'm happy with the look and more confident drawing it, I've gone back to fix faces, dialogue, and also update some character designs that look boring to me. Structure is the same and you might not even notice the differences, I just wanted to warn anyone who was potentially rereading it!

I’ve thought a lot about this too, and I saw how Atnoname had the spicy parts on Patreon, and SFW on Webtoon. If more integrated with NSFW though, I think for those parts even for myself, maybe alt frames with clothing and changed or censored dialogue a. It might work… it’s tough but this change you made does look great!

I'd luckily still be drawing the uncensored one but unfortunately the god's that be won't allow tiddies in certain spaces :(

I'm really glad you found inspiration in it!

This page(?) Looks great in long scroll format, honestly impressed by how well it translates. And yeah I respect what you're saying about wanting to draw in new readers, posting a kinda censored version maybe feels like compromising on the... point of Kaede's journey but I think it makes sense, and you deserve a wider audience anyway
Honestly your comic has been really inspirational and healing to me as an artist. I really hadn't realized how ashamed I felt of the parts of myself interested in sex and sexuality, and I'm a 25 year old proud bisexual. Now after following you and other artists, I've even drawn tiddies (gasp) without feeling immediately embarrassed.... (Still too shy to post them though, lol) I'm so excited to see where OFD goes, and I love the message behind it. It's a story that needs to be expressed and isn't enough. I adore the characters already! Good luck monetizing it and whatever you do I'm rooting for you!
