This is the beginning of a long comic I now have started completing pages for. Featuring character designs I’ve posted already.
 
This is my own fan comic that I have written, sketched and coloured. So I hope you enjoy it. And by all means comment on it as it goes. I would like honest opinions on the story telling and art please. :)

Yes well believe it or not, I agree with your opinion in the sense that the comics at their core when it comes to story, reasoning and organization are an absolute dumpster fire and you are perfectly fine in calling them boring. It’s not the end of the world if one person thinks such and I know it.
 
At the same time perhaps they don’t make sense because they were never designed for such in the first place. Its like complaining about a history text for not being enriched to suit a dramatic fantasized version of it to make it more appealing.
 
But of course your probably just talking about the ones where it is them fusing into new ponies. What about the ones where it is more foccused on the character’s themselves and don’t have the self insert. Like “Couple of the Crystal Empire” ?
 
I get that, and I am not saying you should reveal yourself for the sake of an argument but that an anonymous comment isn’t exactly the pinnacle of where I would hedge my bet on how the overall reception of the content I commission is.
 
And of course most of them would be happy for the money  
I think you are going to far with the “helped them mentally” but i guess someone had to tell you that so ok
 
I mean you can believe what you want of it but that is the truth. Whether you choose to accept it as fact is out of my control.
 
What i hate is seeing so many artists working on the same thing over and over again.
 
 
comic:the chaos within us — 397 pages
 
397 pages of something that make no sense(story) and i think was never planed to go being maybe 20-30 pages… I really hope you are paying well this guy for losing any individuality(no own art anymore from what i can see) and becoming your own personal art machine…
 
I mean if that is what you think of it then I can not help you there.
 
Yes it exists…
 
Again, that is subjective and up to your interpretation. Though to describe it in short is that this is the acid trip nightmare of a self insert further tampered eith Freddy Kruger style by the character Cosmos. Well you’d be wrong as there was no limit really discussed between us. Plus he had come to me offering the ability to draw such comic and I gave him in return he also gets to dictate and make story suggestions. So really it’s not my story but his passion project, where we just happen to like each others ideas and toss them into this melting pot of a comic. Frankly I find it disgusting you’d suggest such of him being downplayed by me into becoming my “art machine” as you so thoughtfully called him.
 
Then again it’s real easy to make such surface accusations and judgements when you have no idea of the conversations we have behind the scenes.
 
Yeah on derpibooru. Maybe if you valued artists like that so much you would go to his deviantart page, were there you will see that he is actually uploading plenty of his own content alongside this comic. But you wouldn’t know that now would you?

1st - commission whatever you want.  
Im not saying you cant or shouldn’t do it. My opinion - as much unpopular as it can be - is that they are BORING.  
They are all the same thing mixed with diffrent characters and slightly diffrent starting point.  
But after few pages they all boil to the same thing going on till the comic abruptly ends or “new” one start as you have no idea where to go with the story. As there is none.
 
If you would go somewhere with the stories or made it in any way unique to eachothers then maybe it would not be such a waste.
 
And why i use Anon? Because there is an army of white knights that will always jump on any oportunity to defend the someone else for the browny points. And i had already one situation where ppl tried to find out who i am and dox me.  
And my opinion dont change whatever i post Anon or an random acc i can make in 20s.
 
The artists overall want and admit to me through private conversations that they like drawing the characters for their own reasons and justifications. Some even go so far as to say that me commissioning them have helped them mentally and financially.
 
I think thats true. There are artists who can enjoy working on easy monotonous comics like those where they can basically do whatever they want. That for sure is less stressful then working on more complex works.
 
And of course most of them would be happy for the money.  
I think you are going to far with the “helped them mentally” but i guess someone had to tell you that so ok.
 
As for me not being a psychologist - be one or not be one - i dont hate you so i will not dig into that part of my earlier post. What i hate is seeing so many artists working on the same thing over and over again.

Yes I do admit that any form of a self insert tends to be immediately cringe, but I wouldn’t go so far as to go outside the realm of assumption and claiming it is because of some mental health reasons. Your no psychologist and pointing out repeating aspects of the fusion comics kind of misses the whole point of them being “fusion” comics. There isn’t really any thought that is divested into it apart from softball details or subjects that I would throw around other than to justify the characters fusing.
 
Nice to see that you care about other people’s money as oppose to your own. Must be so taxing to make that argument from the anon account that you used to type this complaint on.
 
Perhaps you should keep to yourself on the self-respect advice, seeing as you hold yourself to a “all mighty above everyone else” standard yourself. The artists (minus @CactusCowboyDan ) overall want and admit to me through private conversations that they like drawing the characters for their own reasons and justifications. Some even go so far as to say that me commissioning them have helped them mentally and financially.
 
So feel free to stand atop your soap box and complain about how other people have the $ or willingness to commission content regardless how flawed, confusing, and cringe to some it can be. Just keep in mind that everybody is a critic including you.

Looking forward to it then!
 
 
||Finally! I am so sick of that theme… and creepy self-insert “Tommy” character the most. Honestly the guy that commission it have to much money(guessing social security credit or something like that because i cant imagine him having a normal work) , to little idea how to write a proper interesting story(so he repeats the same 10 scenes with minimal variations), and far to many mental issues that his “stories” bring in a super creepy way…  
So many artist are wasting their potentials at growing their audiences by drawing his stories for him for months with no end. I know that money is money but have some self-respect guys. ||
