>Hi guys! Shelby here. With good news and bad(?), maybe! The good news is, I have a job now! I am working for What Pumpkin studios on the Homestuck video game, Hiveswap. It is an awesome job with awesome people and I am so grateful and psyched about it!!

>The bad news, which is also good news for me, is that I no longer am relying on Patreon as my main source of income. As such, I really no longer have time to contribute as much to Patreon along with working on NEOKOSMOS. Now that NK is a side project to my main work, things are going to be slowing down a bit, but that doesn't mean we are stopping! It just means we feel a little bad taking monthly pledges from people when the content is just not consistent enough to warrant it.

Thoughts? I'm kinda bummed cause I wanted to read Neokosmos, but now it seems like the project ain't gonna be finished

But I guess this is good for Hiveswap?

Neo Kosmos is pretty poor, regardless of whether you think it has an agenda or not.

It borrows Homestuck's format without understanding how or why it worked, it borrows Steven Universe character designs while removing the elements that make them work (the ginger is just Pearl without her conical elements, which are central to her look), and the writing is lackluster and has difficulty with aspects like introducing conflict. Also, the pacing is shit.

The primary artist was a storyboarder for Steven Universe.

And of course, Homestuck and SU both have huge, obsessive fandoms so naturally if you combine the art style of one and the narrative format of the other the lowest common denominator from both fandoms will eat that shit right up.

I'd better describe it as a mediocre Homestuck Act 5 ripoff with the artstyle of Steven Universe.

It tries to do all the "kids and fun" shit that Homestuck did in Act 5, but it fails because we never really get to give a shit about the characters.

It also tries to do the shitty lorebaiting thing that SU does, but it fails because there's nothing to the story besides lore.

>>85091285
The characters in Homestuck are all very distinct from each other in ways that actually matter apart from gender and w/e, too, partially due to their distinguishing traits (everyone has a color, a weapon type, etc.) but also stronger characterization.

I read Neokosmos up to Seven's introduction (had to look him up on the cast page) and for the life of me I could not tell you what the personalities of the three main kids are supposed to be. Or their names, for that matter. The vitiligo kid is... mischievous, I guess?

Vitiligo is the new heterochromia. It's something people put on their character designs to make them "Special" and "Unique" while pretending to make it about diversity.

Vitiligo is an unfortunate medical condition. It is *NOT* something you can slap on your OC to make them stand out.

And it doesn't even work for that, because everybody's doing it now. People have been making their characters albinos for 20 years now, but do they ever represent them the way actual albinos look? No, they don't!

If you designed a character with vitiligo 10 or 20 years ago, I'd respect you for doing something different. If you do it now, I assume you're just a trend-follower, until proven otherwise.

>>85091537
This is by far the comic's biggest flaw.

The characters are so vaguely defined that it's hard to care about their struggles. It's so obsessed with putting these characters into edgy and traumatic scenarios that it forgets to make the characters actually interesting.

SU and Homestuck are works that, by far, ride more on the strength of their cast more than anything else. That's why Undertale works so well in the wake of Homestuck's demise, and why this sack of shit falls so hard.
>>
The fetishization of vitiligo is disgusting.

>>85094082

>>85093839
At least heterochromia could have SOME plot device incorporated into it. Like maybe one of the miscolored eyes lets her see the souls of her enemies or some shit. Vitiligo just isn't interesting and just ends up making your character look ugly and pandering. The only time it's ever worked in fiction was in The Boondocks.

Yeah I hate how this faux-Steven Universe style doesn't even emulate any of it's aesthetics well. None of the characters in NeoKosmos have well defind or unique head/body shapes, they're all just round squishy blobs.

Look at those 3 in OPs image. Their heads are just ovals, no definition or structure at all. They don't even have fucking chins, and they're drawn like that in every panel which leads me to believe the author cannot comprehend real anatomy without resorting to playdough limbs.

>>85080277
To be fair if you were raised by aliens in a non-human culture with humans extinct it's easy to think you could be genderless. Given the same suit and haircut as everyone, not raised any differently than the other lab rats.

But that makes it even more retarded because the comic clearly establishes one of the characters as Trans. A boy/girl raised on a spaceship alone without any gender WOULD NOT BE TRANS. There's literally no reason for them to say "Yeah I want to transition" or have any context for that.

>>85098816
I think that's a notable example of formal critique: the format is a lot better when viewed as a storyboard rather than a comic. It doesn't sink the concept, but there are a few panels which could have been entirely skipped.

Unless it's supposed to serve as a stealth pitch or a good example of storyboarding in the portfolio, reading it is a lot like viewing a gif frame-by-frame.

Shelby has no idea what the fuck she's doing. All the statements she's trying to make are mired in contradiction.

A shame, because it actually is a really good premise.
>>
>>85110822
The premise reminded me a lot of Oliva Butler's Lilith books, which are definitely worth checking out. Neokosmos isn't a one-to-one match of those books, but the opening scenes are somewhat similar. I wonder if Shelby read them.

As a newcomer to this webcomic (who never read Homestuck), I'd say that its "discussion" about gender doesn't necessarily invalidate its concept. Said discussion comes up at least once, but I'm not entirely sure how much of a statement the comic can make on the issue when it's devoted to the sci-fi plot.

The one thing I sort of don't like is the format, which is why I could never get into Homestuck in the first place. It just don't jive.

Here's the "After"

>>85110750
The implied implication was that they had access to the internet and I guess that was their exposure. It still makes absolutely zero sense, but that's Shelby for you.

>>85110915
Just an archived copy of Wikipedia, not the whole Internet.
>>
So are the animations and music any good?
>>
>>85110929
>They didn't have access to tumblr
They just happened to stumble upon the "Trans" pages out of billions and decided they wanted to be something they had no knowledge about?
>>
>>85110942
Apparently, yes

That's Shelby for you
>>
>>85110891
See this, with the perfectly round head and eyes? When did this "I cannot draw edges or corners outside of soft shapes" trend come into existence?
>>
>>85110931
eh

there's two animations and they're both less than a minute long
>>
>>85107072
Not really. It's just loaded with SJW elements like they/them pronouns, a transginger, and others.

having your hair color change to white after encountering ghosts is traditional. Going blind after being exposed to something horrible is traditional. Albinos who have magical powers is traditional (in some 3rd world shitholes, primarily africa there's a brisk trade in the butchered body parts of local albinos for witch doctors)

literally do whatever you want. Someone will call you a speshul snowflake but as long as you don't go full sparkledog you're doing it right,

'contraversy' would imply the comic is interesting. It really isn't it's a shoddily made attempt to cash in on homestuck and steven universe by combining them as bluntly as possible. I don't like either of those but elements of them interest me and I can tell you that one of the biggest draws of both homosuck and jewniverse is that the cast gets a lot of focus. I don't even like Homosuck and I could talk your ear off about karkat, same thing with jewniverse the lesbian space rocks have tones of character focus.

this shit? it's dry, it's formulaic, it's doing it's best to drag in the mouth breathing retards of both fandoms because those people will throw a ton of cash at merch. It's characters are flat and it's painfully obvious with it's copycat shit which is just plain stupid since a significant portion of Homosuck was multiple layers of self referential humor that were built right into the most basic concepts of that clusterfuck. You imitate it poorly and you lose a lot of the appeal.

>reading it is a lot like viewing a gif frame-by-frame.

Which is why it should be animated gifs and not still images. Just going from animated gif to animated gif as you scroll through... LIKE THE COMICS IT'S EMULATING!

>literally do whatever you want. Someone will call you a speshul snowflake but as long as you don't go full sparkledog you're doing it right,

Hm. Thanks. At least there will be an in-plot reason for a miscolored eye, rather than the character just being "unique" and I'm not going to make it "pretty" either.

You're inventing a dumb slur just for the sake of being edgy. You are the ones making a statement and it's fucking stupid.

Soooo... Ava's Demon author hired when? She already does nasty hiatuses in a series that only has art to back it up.
>>
>>85088077
That's my point. It ripped off parts that supposedly guaranteed success without realizing a successful story is more than the sum of its parts.
>>
>>85112540
I ain't gonna feel guilty for calling people a cookie, Anon

>>85112575
Michelle hasn't been near Homestuck since like 2012. She's too distant to be hired now.
>>
>>85081967
Storyboard revisionist, her SU art is way too ugly so thank god she's not an actual boarder
>>
>>85082550
>tokens

I see what you did there
>>
>>85113965
I heard she hates homestuck now. Bans people that talk about it, erased nearly every evidence she ever did anything homestuck-related, etc.
>>
>>85110891
I hate the butt noses she draws on everything so fucking much
>>
>>85116631
Why? I read Ava's Demon but I could never get into Homestuck's format and I don't know the juicy gissip.
>>
>>85116804
Ava's Demon writer used to do a bunch of fanart and was responsible for the Jade Sylph image from one of the albums. She was very participative in the fandom and it was part of what helped her in the Ava's Demon kickstarter.

Some months ago, however, it seems she doesn't like people mentioning this. In her Q&A people who metioned it got banned, most of her fanart was erased and seems like she really dislikes being compared to it.

I'd rather be called a Hydrox than an Oreo, to be honest.

Excerpt from an interview:

An email to Czajkowski from the Dot inviting her to discuss her comic's connection to Homestuck and the Homestuck fandom went unreturned, but even without knowing the reasons for her decision to delete her fanart and move on, her anxiety over the culture seems clear.

"[T]umblr is literally one of the worst communities on the internet," she wrote on Tumblr six months ago, "and going on it is pretty much asking to be exposed to every idiot the world has to offer."

------------------------------------------------------

Guess her problem is with tumblr instead. Kinda would make someone mad if an author's work didnt get as many likes and reblogs as an fanart said author did to another comic. Kek
>>
>>85117022
Huh. It really is a mystery then. Do you think she thought something that happened in Homestuck was offensive or she had a disagreement with Hussie?
>>
>>85117105
Here, man >>85117088

Seems more like tumblr kept comparing her to Homestuck to the point she couldnt take it anymore.

Tumblr was a bit too cancerous with her since she started Ava's demon. There was a time people had a theory Odin was asexual and when she said he wasnt they started branding her as an ''aphobic'', started shitstorms and flame wars.

Guess the comparisons between the works and whatever followed made her try to avoid more of that.
>>
>>85117088
>Can't stand tumblr
>Collabs with someone to make a comic that panders to tumblr as much as possible.
>>
>>85117088
I can understand. Her fanart could attract more tumblr followers, but then those followers could end up sending hate once they realise they don't like her own work. She'd rather not attract them whatsoever.

I remember the mess when tumblr flipped out over how one character in Ava's Demon mocked another for being a virgin, even though it wasn't meant to be seen as funny or nice (tumblr saw it as "acephobic"). It got so bad that I think she deleted her casual tumblr.
>>
>>85117355
Kinda like Hussie.
>>
>>85117369
Yeah, it's very easy for controversies to arise in tumblr for things that aren't meant to be taken so badly. This already happened thrice with Ava's Demon and two of those times was regarding Odin. Makes sense that she will try to start playing safe now.
>>
>>85117105
There is no mystery here, homosuck is shit and you wouldn't want to be involved with its fans.
>>
>>85117355
She doesn't work on Neo Kosmos.
Learn how to read.

From tvtropes:

The author saying that there were no asexual characters after a certain character was called a virgin as an insult caused some controversy in the fandom, which ended up in the author deleting her tumblr blog after heaps of harassment for her supposed acephobia.note The author stated that she didn't know enough about asexuality to have an ace character and would need to do some research in order to accurately portray asexuality in the comic

The censoring of the comic in order to appeal to publishers has broken the base quite a bit.
The author put out a very loose sketch of Fan-Preferred Couple Ava and Maggie doing lewd things and there was a bit of schism in the fandom.

Once again the base was broken when the author uploaded 'Dolce Vita', a piece of art of Maggie in a suggestive pose, without clothes and covered only by various fruits. The resulting outrage resulted in the suspension of the author's Deviantart account, and quickly created a Flame War over whether this was a reasonable response or not.
