This is cute. It reminds me a lot of the kind of manga-inspired webcomics that I used to read in spades back in the veritable Stone Age, which seem to be a critically endangered species these days. It's very nostalgic to me. I must ask, though - and I mean this genuinely with no offense, only curiosity - but why does the Queen of Diamonds lapse between speaking normally and talking like an "I Can Haz Cheezburger" meme? Is it purely comedic or is there a reason that will become apparent in the future and I'm just reading too much into a joke?
Aww, thank you! And yeah, that is an intentional personality quirk. She often slips into lolcat-speak when she is being ironic, or sassy, or silly, or nervous about something as in “Don’t hurt me, I’m just a funny cat!” Otherwise, it’s not that deep. The lolcat memes were pretty new when I started writing this comic.
This is definitely one of the most aesthetically pleasing CGI webcomics I've seen. Most are in a hideous uncanny valley. Yours is cute! Characters are expressive.
It sounds like our regal lady here has a pretty complex story that will unfold gradually over time!
Thank you! The Manga Maker ComiPo program uses 3D models but renders them with a flat, 2D, cartoony look. When I was laying out the comic this early in the story, I was just figuring out how the program worked and wasn't doing a whole lot with it in terms of colors and lighting, so I'm glad you still find it interesting.
