I hate doing this but there's drama in the horror webtoon community and I have to vent.

Do NOT support Hanza_art

If you don't want to be spoiled/involve yourself in a toxic situation do not read further.

My Deepest Secret was infamous for its overly miserable plot twist ending. The main character turned out to be "crazy" and "delusional". Somehow that protagonist was capable of living a normal life and being a serial killer at the same time. This character never got real professional help, and they were left to suffer in their delusions.

The horror community is often wary of authors that portray mentally ill people as unsalvagable or monstrous. Personally, I was horrified.

The backlash was horrible because the plot twist made no sense in general. In addition the story was marketed as a romance and by the end nobody had paired off. I felt my time was wasted, and I was disgusted by the way the "true villain" was discarded for the crime of being mentally ill.

When Hanza returned with a more level-headed protagonist and a more violent psychopathic villain....some readers gave the author another chance.

I don't blame them. Paranoid characters like Rozy are very interesting! Especially as main characters!

Hawa, the secondary female lead, grows out of her "naive victim" stereotype as well. It's very satisfying to watch. It was tied together nicely by the handsome villain, Adam.

Adam is extremely evil and irredeemable. When the story begins he is a serial killer who targets "innocent, sweet" girls like Hawa.

Rozy is overprotective and she doesn't trust men. In fact she's a known man hater. The characters are all adults, so their character traits and desires aren't just quirks. They are all deeply flawed people.

It was a very promising start.

Plus, it wasn't marketed as a romance so I was sure it would be written better! The weakest part of My Deepest Secret was the romance (by the end I mean) so yay!

Or not...

I do not keep up with TGU on a regular basis. The plot slowed down considerably and I noticed a worrying trend. Frankly, I'm not shocked by this immature behavior in the slightest.

Every single male character in TGU is a sexist abuser who harbors violent thoughts about women.

Hanza is very good at writing scary, irredeemable, sexist pigs that belong in jail...but it was a worrying trend all the same.

Adam was a smart, handsome serial killer who liked to hide in plain sight. By about chapter fifty he was alot dumber, and I cannot stress this enough.

Every male character that associates with Rozy or Hana turns out to be a stalker or harasser. The kind that would get charged in real life.

That kind of hatred towards "all men" is worrying in a thriller comic, and it was very annoying.

I wanted Rozy to outsmart Adam.

I don't want to watch her and Hana be abused by multiple men (mostly former friends!).

I came for the girl boss mystery, and I got alot of sexism instead. What a slap in the face.

Past a certain point I was only checking in to see how bad the story had gotten....and...yup....the male police officer helping Rozy is also a weird guy.

............first of all that's boring.

Second of all it's insulting.

Hanza hates toxic romance, and it shows, and that's perfectly ok. It's not for everyone, but Hanza has built their entire career on top of sexy murder men...so their attitude is extremely hypocritical and annoying as heck to watch.

"I hate toxic romance but I'm also going to sell suit merch of Elios and Adam."

Like, what did you expect?

Hanza is an adult creator, and they do know who they're catering to.

At this point they are absolutely insulting the fans that pay their bills, and that's unacceptable.

Authors are public figures now. They have been since the Facebook Era. Random internet trolls should not influence how you speak to your fan base. I understand that working for Webtoon is brutally hard, but Hanza is a popular artist despite their fumbled first story.

It's like watching somebody blow their nose on a golden ticket.

TGU was their second chance. A very generous second chance, that got great reviews in the beginning.

I'm astonished that Hanza somehow managed to concoct another dud plot twist. Their rude attitude has to be the nail in their coffin. They should not get a third generously funded chance.

Don't interact with their posts.

Don't review bomb the webtoon.

Don't give them any more attention.

They've made more than enough money off of fans they clearly don't respect.

Every creator worth their salt knows trolls and super perverts are only 0.05% of any given Fandom.

If Hanza wants to spit on the 99.95% fine.

Just don't give them any more money or support. That's the only punishment fans have the right to inflict.

Why am I so upset?

Well, as you can see Hanza posted spoilers. They spoiler bombed Twitter because they don't want to finish TGU.

That's right. On top of insulting everybody who paid for this comic they also don't want to finish. Despite the fact that the story reached its climax recently. The girlboss alliance is finally forming against Adam but...too bad I don't wanna write it (suckers).

The sibling plot twist is just abysmal as well.

Shame on you Hanza.

You damn well know that this sibling plot twist is completely out of left field and unexpected. (and boring. I am convinced you are trolling your fans.)

The shipper trolls and the edgy Rozy/Adam fans had no idea it was coming before you randomly spoiled it.

For the record I don't ship anything in this lackluster comic, because I know better. Again, My Deepest Secret was marketed as a Romantic Thriller and then there was zero payoff. Sure, this one isn't a romance, but I don't think anyone signed up for every guy on the block being evil. Just the guy upstairs. Since the story isn't even about love I never imagined so much drama would come out. It feels very pointless and petty. Every time I hear about this artist it's a drama issue and I can't help but think they're part of the problem. Their recent behavior on social media hasn't left me with any other options.

Hanza, you are being manipulative and childish on purpose because you don't want to finish what you started.

You pandered to horror and toxic romance fans on purpose just to get money.

You spoiled a story millions of people have been reading regularly just to satisfy your childish need to bully your own fans.

You took their money.

You signed your contract.

Nobody made you do it.

If you really are super conservative and you think romance must be pure LEAVE US ALONE, and go write pure romance.

Nobody is stopping you, but you wanted to milk more money out of people you don't respect.

It's sickening, and I'm happy that TGU will never get a physical release.

You don't deserve a dime of that money.

Shame. On. You.

Let You Break My Heart Again 🌼

unleashed omi part 2

all the king’s men Working on this was kind of like mourning, but my heart still hurts a lot.

…MERRY CHRISTMAS?  8’D;;;;;;;;;;;

I want more stories that explore the angst potential of unrequited platonic love.

Like:

‘You’ve always been like a brother to me but I’ve realised you only come to me when you want something’

‘My surrogate parental figure just sees me as another student/employee/lackey’

‘I raised you like my own child but you don’t even remember who I am’

And of course, the classic ‘You’re my best (and only) friend but I know I’m only one of yours’.

yo ! would it be too much to ask for you to show some progress sketches ? your recent post is absolutely mind blowing, being such a unique display of movement and sharing elements with a storyboard, plus a bunch of other stuff that literally just left me staring at my screen, and i'd love to see your process behind it !

Thank you so much! You're referring to this post right? Sorry, slowly going through my ask box haha

Not a problem at all! Thanks for asking so nicely!

The super rough base sketch:

The line art: (The Morro back view was improvised during this stage because that side was looking very empty xD)

The shading:

I'll even throw in a couple of colour tests I did to experiment:

Hope that helps! Have a great day!

Barton: You want me to pay attention to you? ❤️

Female Navigator: Not like this! >///////<

Was kind of scared to post this bc I didn’t like how it turned out but anyways

#014 Lame Superpowers

For many people, acquiring superpowers would be a dream come true. You’d be able to protect the world from evil, become an intergalactic celebrity, probably meet other superheroes. But not all superpowers are created equal. Not everyone can shift their shapes or envision lasers or turn their arms into super-sonic-plasma-ultra-cannons (Super-Sonic-Plasma-Ultra-Cannon Man gets like really pissy when you don’t say the whole thing so our hands are kind of tied here). Some guys get stuck with powers like jelly and/or jam vision (for all you sandwiching needs) or the power to generate a gloomy rain cloud directly above their head and nowhere else (excellent for watering hat plants). Some people just have to make their peace with the fact that they have lame powers.

Now, fear not (y’all best not be fearing!) having lame superpowers doesn’t mean you can’t be a superhero. When you have lame superpowers there are basically two directions you can go. You can either try to find clever ways to use your ridiculous abilities to actually help people. Or, you can just totally lean into it and establish yourself as a ridiculous superhero.

Not Leaning into it:

If you’re going to try to establish yourself as a legitimate serious hero when all you’ve got is the power to shoot maple syrup from your armpits (part of a well-balanced breakfast!) you need to understand that you’ll probably still be seen as a ridiculous superhero. Even if you try to pass yourself off as really serious and wear only black and carry a submachine gun and wear an eyepatch. Even if you become a super gritty killing hero. If your powers consist of you being able to regrow your eyebrows at an alarming rate after they’ve been shaved or blown off (handy if you’re a mad scientist prone to developing potions that explode your eyebrows off), you’re not going to be taken seriously. If you’ve got lame superpowers and insist on the public taking you seriously break out the cardboard paper and the glitter glue cuz you’re gonna need to get creative. You can always just keep the fact that you even have any superpowers a secret and establish yourself as a serious player in the superheroing game that way. If you keep your powers a secret your enemies won’t think to prepare for them so you’ll always have a secret ace in the hole if a bad guy has you on the ropes. If a bad guy thinks they have a non-powered hero captive they’ll definitely be caught off guard when you suddenly reveal that you’ve had the power to turn your mouth into a confetti cannon (the most festive of powers) the entire time. Another option is to determine the best situations for your power to be made useful and then only show up at those times. For example, if you have the power to turn into an adorable kitten only respond to crimes being committed by people with known allergies to adorable kittens. (You’d be surprised how many super villains are allergic to adorable kittens. Maybe it is their inability to interact with adorable kittens that caused them to go astray in the first place.)

Leaning into it:

Establish yourself as the go-to guy or gal or gecko for dealing with ridiculous super crimes. If some new criminal appears and declares his intention to steal mustaches in order to power his personal WMDs that’s a job for you. If an alien conqueror lands in the middle of Washington DC and demands that some sitcom from the ‘90s be brought back, make sure you’re the guy or gal or gecko they call. If somebody kidnaps a world famous clown and makes them tell jokes at their nephew’s birthday party, it should fall to you to make sure that world famous clown is safely rescued and returned to his under-sized-surprisingly-spacious car. You need to be the hero people turn to in desperation when they’ve been laughed at by all the other mainstream heroes with the cool powers. Keep that up long enough and you’ll no doubt start receiving tons of calls from superhero organizations offering you positions on their teams. After all, every super-team needs its comic relief. Becoming a loud and proud superhero with lame powers is an all-or-nothing process, if you choose to lean into it you need to accompany your ridiculous powers with a ridiculous codename and a ridiculous costume. Maybe even get yourself a good bumbling sidekick. Or a trained monkey! Those are fun. Serious heroes can’t get away with crap like that. Being a ridiculous hero is way more fun.
