Reserved for Sponsorship
You can become a sponsor this comic thread by buying a spot right here on the first page. I will draw your avi along with a chat bubble and a link to a page of your choice. After all the slots are taken, there will be an image map of the sponsors' avis on this post. Slots will be limited and image maps will be wiped every two months. You will be sent your individually drawn avi.

Train Station - unavailable, most likely will become the first available map in January. Delayed for now...HAHHA I AM TEH LAZY -__-

What is this, you ask? Miscellaneous stuff that may be of interest to you such as an occasional side comic, concept sketches, behind-the-scene extras, and other "stuff".

Q & A - AKA "Boring Stuff Most People Don't Read"

Q. How long does it take you to draw each strip (4 panels)?
A. Overall, ~5 hours. 30 minutes to sketch, 5 mins to scan, ~2-3 hrs to trace on Photoshop, ~1-2 hrs to shade, ~30 mins to assemble.

Q. Do you use a tablet?!
A. No. I scan at 300dpi, zoom ALL the way in (300% usually), trace over lines with a mouse, then change everything to 72dpi. Then I re-size the pics to fit inside each strip.

Q. What's your favorite tool in Photoshop?
A. The brush tool at 5px.

Q. What tool do you use the most in Photoshop?
A. The eraser tool.

Q. The characters have weird clothes!?
A. Yes, because it's an adventure manga.

Q. Some strips are, like, totally unrelated to zOMG!?
A. Yes, because it's an adventure manga. I'm using zOMG and Gaia content as a setting for my manga. That doesn't mean the characters will be speaking zOMG/Gaia *all* the time.

Q. Can I be in it?
A. Depends...are you "cool" enough? Keep an eye on the Open Casting Calls page and be the first to answer it. You can also chat here and make your presence known. Don't be afraid of the regulars. They're tame (:

Q. How can I contribute/donate?
A. I'm not looking for any gold, but if I am, I will open slots up in the Sponsorship section where you can buy a "plot" there. As for story wise, you can always post in the thread and if your idea/situation is funny I will use it (credit to you, of course). For other contributions, I would really love it if you could bump this thread whenever/however you can. Since I'm doing this for free, I'm pretty much surviving on your critiques and support.
