there were 250+ submissions anon, it was really hard just to pare it down to the ones I put in

I'll probably do some write up the whole process. For example, I don't want people to think I ignored the written submissions (the next guy is heavily based on one), the visual submissions were what often immediately stood out to me just by nature of being a visual artist

Also hello everyone, I'll stick around for a bit while I do some writing

Did you get more submissions than you expected?

No, it's fine Abby, I understand, there was a lot of entries, and a lot of really good ones, so it was really unlikely my entry would win in the end.

It still hurts to not get chosen, but I understand

>>93261091
I have a lore question, if you don't mind. There are a set number of angels, yes? I have to ask, are there only 777 angels? I only ask because I have ksbd-5-86 open, and that's what the tale seems to imply.

>>93261136

Not that I know of. I'd think that if there is going to be a book 2 physical copy then it'd be released around the same time of year as the first one was.

And just as a side note, the pages announcing the taking of submissions are usually removed after the submissions are integrated in the comic, so you won't see them if you go back and read through it.

>>93261091
Oh hi. Nice to see you here.

>>93261156
Ah, that would explain this competition taking me by surprise. Neat though, since finding the RPG and convincing my friends to play it/read K6BD my head has been swimming with ideas for it.

Congrats on being talented enough to do what you love for a living.

A lore question if I may, can anyone with a key/fragment of a key summon a god/do their best Persona impression, or is that reserved for the big ones in possession of Incubus and his ilk?

>>93261091
i think ys-voya is still alive
combing through the comic and the tumblr, it seems like that's being hinted to.
dont tell me if im right or wrong though. dont want to get it spoiled
i'm on to you

>>93261236
Or the birds are a manifestation of all the little fans and their questions/responses in the form of a YS-goddess.

It's more like classic Greek theater with the person who plays the part of narrator or something like that.

Or at least that's what I've thought of it.

>>93261156
Image should be putting out a book 2 this year in September

>>93261236
:V

>>93261149
There are actually a set number (they don't reproduce, they don't die permanently) but it's not actually 777, there are 777 original shards of the white flame from which angels were hammered.

This means angels have 'family' of a sorts from the same shard, it was kind of a neat idea I had that will never ever get into the comic haha

>>93261354
>:V
WHAT DOES IT MEAN
>it was kind of a neat idea I had that will never ever get into the comic haha
Thanks for the clarification

>>93261354
Oh, interesting. Thank you for the answer! Is the reason it won't go into the comic now because Angels don't reproduce?


Second question: Devils have genders (usually), but can they reproduce? Or is the terms "grandfather" and "brother" honorific?

>>93261228
Question.

If every god made a universe, what is YS-VOYA's universe like? inb4 it's ours

>>93261354
>book 2 this year in September
Hey, good to hear.

Huh, angels have 'families'... if it never gets into the comic proper then it could always be one of the stories you post under them.

I really like those stories. Looking forward to the next installment of Tales of the Silver Prince.

>>93261425
>inb4 it's ours
Well, that would explain the dinosaurs. But then they got wiped out, so... Death of Ys-Voya, then?

>>93261425
YS-VOYA can't make a universe, she's just a bunch of birds.

>>93261456
Man, what comic have you been reading? If a bunch of birds believe that they are, and have always been, a goddess, then they damn well are.

>>93261456
Can a bunch of birds BE a universe?

>>93261401
There's a whole lot of extensive world building I wish I could get into, but in actual fact, world building makes for very poor storytelling. I think I'll do another write up thing at some point, because it's been an interesting lesson to learn.

>>93261401
Devils are birthed from the black flame. They are sometimes, maybe usually, adopted by other devils.That's where terms like uncle get mixed up with them.

>>93261560
The goal is to build world through stories \o/
Tell us about the birds, why do they wear the mask?

>>93261560
do you have plans for more submission events like the devils?

>>93261560
Ah, alright. Thank you, anyway! I look forward to whenever that comes out.

Also, thank you for hanging out with us and answering our questions.

Is it wrong to assume that because they are chaotic and part of the black flame of YS that they are able to reproduce, then? Or is that something they can do if they make a devil's pact? (Again, it was described as a sort of "exchange").

>>93261582
Makes sense, if that's the case. Thanks!

>>93261610
You mean why does the mask wear the birds?

>>93261560
I know technology in the multiverse exists and Jags collects fighter jets, but in Throne how high does technology get? There's neon signs, televisions, trains, and big old rifles, but is there a particular limit?

Also what is the most popular sitcom that Gog-Agog stars in?

Where is the picture of the guy getting birds to write his essay when I need it, dammit!

>>93261715
Well, from what we've seen of Throne, and from what we've read in the stories and texts beneath the comics there doesn't seem to be a limit. Hell, I remember there being mention of songs in "machine-code" or something along those lines in the Aesma and the Masters stories.

>>93260819
wanna fug that blue

>>93261745
If it's anything like TES' cosmology the gods probably had weird magitek and shit like that.

>>93261560
I remember White Chain saying something about the number of Earths, and it being somewhat less than the number of universes. Do I even want to know what's in the universes which lack an Earth?

So we have;

Pale Mechanic
Blue / Red Face / Bruiser?
Pale? Bruiser
Gold Acrobat

So what's missing? Will we not get a green since we have a two in one character?

Hey Abb

What're your biggest inspirations for the aesthetic and atmosphere in your comic and writing? I'm building a game and I really want to incorporate some of that same feel I get when I read your comic, but I can never pin down exactly how to describe what it is. It's so complex.

Do you have any works that really influenced you?

ABBADON, what is Oskars favorite song, other than the one currently in the comic?

>>93260862
Noice. Reach heaven through violence, winneranon
>>93261058
He'll appear in the background, or maybe as a one off demon

>>93261560
Can devils possess things? I remember the Androsphynx as being the owner of Hell 71, and he's supposedly Cio's ex-husband. So unless he gained a LOT of weight and ate the souls of a thousand cats, he must've possessed the body of one of those Androsphynx gate-guardians.

>>93261924
Having my demon appear, even as just a background character, would be so great, I'd probably act like a giddy school girl

>>93261838
> high technology, especially in a military sense, being illegal in Throne.

Considering older guns are allowed, the rules on technology must be extremely complex and asinine because technically a sharp stick is military technology. What metric are they using?

My Green may be out of the running, but at least it was a blast to doodle. It's rare that I end up enjoying art from start to finish. Hope at least one green makes it into the crew though.

>>93261988
Based on what we've seen, I'd say anything that rapidly fires projectiles is off limits.
The gun witch used oozies, but that wasn't on Throne.

And also anything over a certain metric of kaboom per pound. They have black powder, but plastic is probably also off limits in Throne.

Who knows if there are laser guns in circulation on some of the conquest front lines.

>>93261629
I'm certain it'll come up again in the next comic arc, which is the mandatory kung fu tournament arc

>>93261715
It gets pretty high, I imagine there are like laser rifles and robots out there and stuff, you don't see them all the time because people are hording the good stuff.

I always thought the division between fantasy and sci fi of certain types was a bit silly, as in some (many) cases they are essentially the same things, as far as setting window dressing goes

>>93261809
nasty shit that's for sure
I think 'Earth' is a colloqualism or mistranslationfor home world, nobody calls their home world directly Earth in U.M. (the common language), but that's what Allison hears

>>93261918
http://killsixbilliondemons.com/influences/

Barlowe and Moebius, mostly Moebius, are the big ones
Edena cycle moebius comics are among the best comics I've ever read as far as panel efficiency, layout, color, etc, they are pure sex

>>93261936
correct, not to spoil or insinuate anything lewd but the part of next book is where I'll go into this

I thought it was going to be this book but it was too much to cram in

>>93262061

Gog-Agog (or Solomon) is next. Get hype.

>>93261918
I'd seen one work with a (sometimes) similar aesthetic before finding KSBD, which has helped me in understanding it significantly. It's a series of flash games of the point-and-click named "Submachine".

Its lore is far more confusing than KSBD. At least until you realize there is no universal "canon", and you only need to worry about the part of plot that's directly in front of you.

Damn, if Jagganoth is engineering that stuff sounds like there's some pretty heavy shit going on.

>>93261918
also I'll say no writer has had a bigger influence on me I think than kurt vonnegut, which is a bit strange to say as I haven't read all his books but I feel strongly that he's basically in my dna at this point

>>93262162
Well he's kind of gearing up for a total universal war, giant robots and laser rifles help

>>93262094
I was thinking of the battle on Mottom's flying sky palace in book 2.

Was she using a machine gun in Hell 71? I'd have to go back and look.

Could be guild regulated.

>>93262090
Thank you again for the answer! Super curious about it now.

Good point. Was just about to post that as well.

>>93262179
Abby, if Allison brought video games into Throne, would she single handedly shut down the entirety of Heaven through mindless entertainment?

Unless Gog-Agog has already constructed the universes greatest arcade somewhere in Throne

>>93262146
Is that from the original? Yhe mspa forums were already dead by the time I found KSBD.

That's probably because only those few images of Oscar looking like that from the original adventure are posted.

He looked like whatever he wanted in the original.

I'd post images of his more base form in that version, but I don't have them saved and there's no longer any easy way to view the original.

>>93262179
>>93262090
Thanks! I've actually been looking at a few of vonnegut's books for a while now, so this'll also be a perfect excuse.

Oh, and great work on the comic, my guy. I'm really digging the style of Oskar in these last few panels, it's killer.

Yes.

Though I really don't have much saved from it.

I'm not sure if the mspa version was the original or not anymore. It might've been the second version with the comic proper being the third version.

Imagine if it was all somehow "canon" in that it was just YS-VOYA remembering it differently each time.

>>93262286
>I'd post images of his more base form in that version, but I don't have them saved

still very interesting to know however

>>93261152
It feels like as a reader that you're getting more and more confident as a writer/artist. Think you're very encouraging to others as well who might just be getting started or be where you were 4, 5 years back. Very happy to support.

>>93262179

Hey man, congrats on managing to cross the treshold of making this a full-time job of yours, you certainly deserve it and I'm happy as fuck for you! Too many times a good webcomic or a promising artist doesn't make it, so when they do its certainly worth being happy about.

Years ago back when KSBD was still a relatively new thing, my first really big "wow" moment reading it was the "wheres Waldo?" panel with Hell 71. Theres plenty of pretty looking webcomics out there but a lot of them forego these extradetailed environment porn pages entirely. Like I already thought the comic was ok because its obviously Moebius-inspired and I love franco-belgian sci-fi comics, but that was the first time I thought "Ok, this guy deserves a proper publisher.".

So, don't shy away on the detailed creature designs and environment porn, it is what makes your comic stand out as unique from many other top quality webcomics out there.

>>93260819
I can't get over that guy's "BAD MAN" jacket and evil parachute pants.

You switch from one flavor of eye candy to another (violence, highly detailed architecture/wall designs).

Seriously, if I would've known that one day the grand majority of these images would be the biggest pain in the ass to find, I would've saved more than just the ones with prominent titties.

>>93262574
I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy the hell out of it, that said it's only possible at this rate and quality directly due to patreon.

Not even kidding about that, even with a page rate or a more industry comic job I think my production would have to be way faster to survive and the page quality would be way lower - think about the quality of super popular comics like Saga where backgrounds can be super vague

>>93262542
I think I draw allison with pretty big bazongas but I also try not to sexualize her at all

>>93262641
But they're all for sexual. Especially Oskar.

I certainly hope nothing bad happens to those demons, ABBADON. They're just too cool a' boys to die.

Oh yeah, definitely. Unless of course the publisher already knows environment porn is a big reason people read it in the first place, in which case you might get more leeway, or assistants. If you've ever read the manga BLAME!, thats another cult favorite series of books with a lot of emphasis on environments (coincidentally also influenced by Moebius and Bilal and also my favorite manga).

And then again industry standards change by geography, which is why trademark French comic style has pretty as fuck art with plenty of pretty environments with large hard-cover albums with a set amount of pages, legacy of Moebius and Bilal I bet. I could imagine KSBD being published in that environment, although what I heard from the creator of Perkeros/Sing No Evil, french publishers are extremely stingy about having that exact french format with the page size and page limit.

If you ever get the chance, you should try it out, then your comics would be on the shelves right next to Moebius albums on the 2nd most comic-crazy country in the world.

>trying to act morally superior by shunning everything remotely sexual
I see this one follows the Path of Thorns.

>>93262994
There is a distinct difference between not sexualizing a character and having them be entirely non-sexual.

>>93262977
Well I was mostly memeing but if you want to be serious I have to say I'm never on board with this kind of conservative, censorious worldview. It's fine for an artist to make the decision not to sexualize anything but I do not thing sexy things or sexualization, in and of itself, is any evil and I reject fully the notion it's always a bad thing. It's also fine for an artist to do that, and if it's a gender thing there are plenty of women artists and writers who make women sexy.

Look at like Kyoko Okazaki for example. Helter Skelter makes the extent to which characters are sexualized a critical point, and it'd be a far worse comic if it didn't. Or literally tons of euro artists who never to labour in an industry driven by the CCA. Or if we're talking Brandon Graham he puts plenty of fun + sexy characters in his comics.

>>93263010
I feel like maybe we're using sexualize when we mean objectify here.

>>93262966
I always listen to music or podcasts while drawing. The amount I listen to is pretty ridiculous.

For example, I've gone through the entire archive of This American Life. Recently I've been listening to the SuperBestFriendCast, the Adventure Zone.

I listen to a shit ton of music, mostly (maybe 100%) metal, right now I'm really into the Violent Sleep of Reason (meshuggah) but I also just discovered Pallbearer and Elder which are both extremely good shit.

>>93262994
I'm not against it, it's just like, titillation for titillation's sake doesn't really seem to fit this comic

like I'd just go draw a porn comic if I wanted to draw a porn comic

>>93263019
my mother reads my comic and my co-workers do as well

I've considered putting some rude titties in there but it would also make the comic less accessible (for better or worse) and I'm not sure I want that

This is casting no moral judgement by the way, one of my favorite comics I read through recently was Requiem Vampire Knight

>>93263010
Virtue signalling was all you were doing. I have no respect for what you're doing, especially with you going straight on to fight it out immediately with another anon who simply called you a pleb without explaining yourself.
>>93262977
Right here.

I'm not against removing overtly sexual imagery, but I look down on people like you rather heavily.

>>93263044
>I'm not against it, it's just like, titillation for titillation's sake doesn't really seem to fit this comic
Nah, I wasn't talking about you at all, Abbadon.

>>93263060
Well, I'm not the same anon who was originally replied to. I don't disagree that we was virtue signaling, but it's also worth noting that saying you don't want a character sexualized is different than saying you don't want a character to ever even be referenced in the same sentence as sex.

>>93263059
correction: my old japanese co workers

They probably wouldn't bat an eyelid at a boob or two though come to think of it though, considering some of the hilarious super obvious hentai some of those salarymen read on the train

>>93263059
It's totally your decision and I'm fine and respectful of it either way, I wasn't really being serious until that post.

lol @ "My mom reads it" though

>>93263044

Sw1tcher and industrial metal are part of the backround noise when I'm inbetweening in my work as well. Wouldn't be surprised if many of KSBD's readers share the same taste in podcasts/Lets Players and music.

>>93263103
>my old japanese co workers
Huh, considering what you're saying about salarymen on trains, I'm assuming you're talking from experience. What were you doing in Japan?

>>93263044
If you listen to metal, have you ever heard this song?

>>93263150
lived the weaboo dream for 2 years in Kyushu where I worked as an Assistant Language Teacher in a Japanese suburb through JET

I worked about 40hrs a week and drew the comic on top of that. The stable job gave me the original leeway to start the comic. I think I drew stuff up to the drinking contest scene in Japan, which was about when I came back.

If you want a great comparison of how patreon has affected the comic, I think that scene is about 90 pages in, we are just coming up on like 270 pages right now with patreon running for a a year and a half

Unlike a lot of ALTs I actually got to teach English (was doing it for a year before I came to Japan). It was an overwhelmingly positive experience. Learned Japanese, got super drunk with a bunch of my co-workers on the regular, learned to enjoy the hell out of Japanese food (took a year and a half to teach myself how to make proper Japanese curry, it's fucking worth it).

The mountains of central Kyushu are still among the most beautiful places I've seen in my life.

Fucking love that country 10/10 would go back Iwatsubo-sensei if you read 4chan for some insane reason I'm sorry I never e-mailed you back

>>93260862
Same, I was worried that the pale mechanic would disqualify him but it's nice to see he made it.

>>93261383
>WHAT DOES IT MEAN
Abbadon is obviously pantomiming a bird squawk in text form.

Is Broken World ever gonna be finished? The most recent PDF I've found is 1.3 and it's still highly WIP.

I really want to play it, but I'm wondering if there's a newer version.

>>93263294
There's a version 1.5 out on patreon that I'm pretty damn happy about. I need to sort of buff it out and polish it up a bit, then add art and format it. I'll probably announce a proper release date later this year

>>93263317
Awesome. This'll probably be the first thing I spend money on patreon for.

>>93263317
Can you make a beggar angel now? I really want to do that.

I hope I'm not the only one who questions the sanity of hiring a couple of demons to piss on somebody who took down somebody who had the power of the gods with the power of money...

Seems like you're setting yourself up for disappointment and betrayal.

For some reason I'm imagining this song the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" but higher tempo.

Or at least the first part.

>>93263349
I assume the red card is a summons from Himself; when Himself said he'd give Allison her crew, he wasn't just giving her permission but actually getting her devils himself. I don't think any of these guys can refuse.

>>93263317
ABBADON, whatever happened to that page you said you'd insert around the time Incubus first infused Allison with some of himself? Did you just say fuck it?

>>93263369
I was going with "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall"

>>93263103

Yeah... pretty sure some titties would be pretty tame for them.

>>93260819
>>93260862
Haha, someone's gonna be one happy motherfucker.

>>93263374
I disagree, Cio and Allison still had to convince him/tempt him into teaming up; odds are the cards are something you give to someone you hold in some regard as a gesture that you'd like to work with them in the future. They don't signal immediate alliance but do show that you're willing to hear out what the other person says.

>>93263554
Seem more like currency to me.

>>93263554
It seems to be a mark of status? Could be the ones who have the cards are the ones authorized to recruit other devils.

Abbadon, are we going to get more Servant info cards soon? I want to know what the deal with Ingsvld is already.

Fuck shit cunt damn it.

I had the melody of the song figured out right away and it fits pretty much perfectly with this page as well, except for the "they don't give a care for us poor hatless fools" bit, which is triggering my autism something fierce. It flows well without the "poor" but the way it's written I have to jam too many syllables into the sentence. It still works, but it doesn't flow as well as the rest of the song.

Abbadon, do you have a favorite character planned for a later book, that you really want to write?

There were a few suggestions for a Green Devil mastermind betrayed or ruined by Mammon in some previous plot, so I would not be surprised to see that. Visually I think he might go for the small hunchback one combined with the parrot skull drawing.

Or maybe someone had something way more creative I didn't see.

>>93263756
try slurring the words as you say them

I wonder if the red card means that a devil has to take up the offer. I'm really interested in the meaning of the card and how you get one.

>>93263756
try "leave her johnny leave her"

>>93264365
Well, Cio used a red card to call Oscar over (I'm assuming the goblin was a contact point for him), but Oscar said that his Badstars don't work for anyone.

Well, who knows. Maybe most devils can't refuse it. The red card seems to signify some level of status?

I think so too but I'm kind of confused because when Cio produced the card Oscar immediately showed up and it seemed like he was summoned but that couldn't the case. I guess Cio just knew he was around? It's weird.

(Abbadon, have you considered printing at a much larget format for books 3 onwards?)
>production would have to be way faster
2 pages a week is at the fast end for the few European comics I've looked at, a rough average might be 100 pages in 18 months.
An outlier example is M.Bablet's Shangri-la's 220 pages in two years, or 2.1 pages a week, pic related.
Bablet admits his anatomy is poor, while he prefers backgrounds, but the style still works.
>>93262743
>exact french format with the page size and page limit.
Do you mean multiples of 32 pages?
I see that but also other sizes and lengths.
I think my Tintin is 15.7 by 22.3 (6 by 8.8 inches), but that's rather small compared to the 24 by 32 (9.5 by 12.5 in) Shangri-La hardcover from Ankama.

>>93263317
Have you come up with an explanation for why Oscar's feet changed? Did you just settle for "devils can change forms"?

Getting a head start in case there's ever an angel-submission contest.

>“24 Might Obstructs Ruin, Decay, Evanescent, and Neglect, also known as Morden, the Smooth-Shelled, is a little-known angel that once served under Throne, who has since joined the fraternity of Thorn. Despite his new allegiance, however, he has refused to a change of regalia, and thus retains his old coat of arms from his days as a protector. It is said that he has never once retreated from his armor since his conception as an angel, supposedly as a way of upholding an oath to one he could not protect in days past.” (in reality it’s because his true form is a mess of plasma and organs, and because of his super OCD he hates being in it, as evidenced by his symmetrical armor and namesake)

That is indeed one of them.

Hey Abby-chan.

Any chance that with the printed volumes the page sizes could be made bigger? Ive got volume 1 and plan on getting the whole run to put on my shelf, but the only dissapointing thing with it is the pages are too small.

The comic is oozing background porn everywhere. Theres so much stuff going on like its a "Wheres Waldo?" book, but on the small comic book pages its kind of wasted. I think they are only like 6 or 7 inches wide, and so much cool detail is lost because everythings so small.

>>93270265
Standard comic book size is only 7 inches wide actually! It kind of sucks. The comic is just as wide as a regular comic, it's just shorter on the top and bottom.

The reason it was printed small is the proportions are wrong. Standard size is 2 by 3 (11 by 17 at full size basically), where as mine is in magazine size (9x12 or 8.5x11) due to being on the web and personal idiocy. If I printed a standard comic there would be a huge margin of about an inch or more on the top or bottom, which sucks (I tried it out).

The next book, even though it will look weird, I am trying to get Image to print at the size it's drawn (9x12). The third book, the one I'm drawing now, is standard size (11 by 17). This might look like ass on a shelf, that's my only concern. But at least there'll be more space for the art.

The first book was also pretty dark (web >print often does this) and pretty short for a graphic novel (104 pages I think?). The next one will be probably around 144 pages or so and I'll have learned my lessons from the first print. The art is also way better in my opinion. It covers all the stuff from the drinking contest up until the end of Mottom's palace.

I hope if the book continues to sell well, I can convince Image to do some kind of collected edition giant oversize book for the series, probably 2 of them, that would collect books 1-3 and book 4-5

>>93270482
>I hope if the book continues to sell well, I can convince Image to do some kind of collected edition giant oversize book for the series, probably 2 of them, that would collect books 1-3 and book 4-5

That would be pretty cool. Ive got a Goon hardcover thats massive with like 12 inch wide pages and its awesome for showing off the art.

>>93277458
This comic has a very homestuck-like fanbase. I see it mentioned in a lot of corners of the internet and it gets praise/highlights from both professional industry people, from a wide diaspora of degenerates here, but also from like queer SJW twitter types and shit. There are def people who would find it less accessible if it had a lot of nudity and fucking.

I think Abaddon had left a lot of stuff people tend to fly off the hook about quite vague and open-ended but you can't do that if you decide to put it on the page. So far I haven't seen anyone go into a schizophrenic frenzy about K6BD except some anons here who have problems with women characters.

Really, considering the hindu influences, I'm surpised there isn't one exposed boob.

>>93277533
You might be right but I think this comic has a lot fewer sensitive autist type fan than other comics. I don't think there should be fucking but a little nudity is fine. The kids who would be uncomfortable by that stuff probably wouldn't mind too much if they're reading such a violent comic. People like that tend to like light and fluffy stuff.

>>93279101
That's true, there's plenty of gore and it's an unfortunate media thing that gore is often OK where sex and nudity aren't.

I feel like the comic is perfect as is

He should be part of the heist. Cio said that "if he wants in", he's gotta bring in 5 nastyboys. He's recruiting, but he should still be an active participant. Plus, he shows up on the cover, which indicates him as one of the major characters this chapter.
