greetings! it's been forever!

Hello! it has been! So sorry it took me so long to respond, it seems that this comment got lost somehow... How are you?

Happy New Year and Best of everything to you: inspiration, Health and Happiness

Hello! I'm gradually returning from hiatus. Sorry for the late reply! Since the new year is nearly upon us again, I wish the same to you. :)

Hi Obsidian. I seen one of your pages to your comic, and it is interesting. But what rating is it? I'm curious.

Ooh, good question!

I'll break it down:

Personally, I don't think I could write something worse than PG-13, so if you want a simple answer, I'd say it's PG-13.

However, there are some aspects of my comic that may not fit that neatly.

I'll try to explain it so hopefully you can decide for yourself. (I'm totally in support of people making decisions about what they believe is appropriate to view).


Violence:

Does it happen in the story? Yes. Do I show it? Yes, although mostly just blood, not guts. If all the characters were human, this might disqualify my comic from a PG-13 rating. However, I've heard that if the violence is among non-human creatures, the rating can remain at PG-13. I don't know how true that is, but this is where the grey-area resides in my comic.

Sex:

Does it happen in the story? A little. Do I show it? Not at all.

Language:

Does it happen in the story? Sort of. I try to replace most curse words with fictional curse words since I'm "translating" dragon's language. So do I show it? No, I just show the replacement words.

Other:

My art is often used as a way to tackle difficult subjects in life, and so there are some topics throughout the natural course of the story that may be not be palatable for everyone. However, my goal is never to simply dwell on these difficult things. I hope to analyze the challenges of life through the ways the characters cope, learn, and overcome. That said, there is some trauma and mental illness among the main characters, as well as cruel behavior on behalf of the antagonists. You may think it's silly that I feel the need to mention this, but I know some people (especially those who have experienced trauma themselves) sometimes prefer not to see these things in the media they consume.


In general, my goal is to neither censor nor be gratuitous, but to be an honest and fair storyteller.


I hope that helped, I really tried to cover everything without spoiling the comic. But yes, in summary: it's PG-13 (with a bit more blood).

OH MY GOODNESS I just finally read your comic and now I'm HOOKED!!! AHHH!!!!!!! You are amazing and I love your art!!!
