So....
You might have noticed.
I have not drawn page 2 for Zooanthros. 
I fully intended to make this comic digital, but once I got into it, I realized it was way over my head. 
SO! I will restart Zooanthros as a TRADITIONAL art comic instead! *excited cheering*

Now you know it's not a failed attempt, lol. I just realized that I am far more comfortable with drawing and sketching with traditional art, so that's what I'm going to be doing with it from now on. 
In the mean time though, I want to start a short comic as a test run. Idk what I'll be doing yet but you'll either see it eventually or I'll just skip it and do Zooanthros. Lol. You know me. 
I do struggle with consistency and accomplishing things on a schedule, so bear with me and thanks so much for your interest!!! It's what keeps me inspired!

Thanks again ya'll!!!

Hey everyone! You know how when you ask somebody a question and they respond with a question? You're like, UGH! This isn't helping me! Well, I'm actually asking you guys to answer my question with a question! XD

Here's the question: 
What should I be asking myself about "zooanthros?"

I have been working on a story for nearly 5 years now with the goal of starting a manga - style comic. You've seen a lot of characters from it already - Yuuma, Wayra, Meg, etc. The story is called "Zooanthros." 
I hear you - "Starquill, seriously what the heck is a "zooanthro" anyway?!" Zooanthros are people who can shape-shift into animals. The zooanthros in my story turn into wolves and one turns into a horse. I'm working on making a "Q + A" sheet for the species. I have 5 pages in a word document already, but I am only seeing it through my own perspective atm. It's lonely.  

If you were reading a story where the characters could turn into wolves, what would you ask about their species? I have already worked out how they transform and some other things, but if you were a reader, what would you want to ask the author? 

It might be odd to be asking this to you guys who don't know the story yet, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Maybe you are a writer and you have advice for me about writing shape-shifting type species/characters - I would love to hear it! I am all about hearing different opinions/voices about character development and creation and I try to be really open minded. 

So here you go, answer me with some ????????'s!
