About

"The story follows Coron, a stone golem, who can feel, and regenerate, and think about his lot in life. There are many others like him... and many more who aren't. That is because he's a special kind of golem called a Faithful. Everyone knows they are capable of feeling, regenerating, and thinking about their lot in life, but it's what they don't know that scares them. After all, the strongest of hate is often rooted in fear."

The World

   

The Comic

Updates once a week, usually a thursday. Sometimes more than that.

Aquapunk is almost 6 years in the making. This pelagic dystopia began as nothing more than a hobbyist's conlang: Sennin. Esani were created to speak the new language, mythologies were written to give them context, and a world was made for them to exist in.

FAQ

Q: Why the hell do you copy Mignola? That's stupid.
A: Every work ever created was derivative of something else, and trying to pretend that there's a totally and completely original way of drawing comics out there that I should have known about and used before anyone else is what's stupid. For me, the worldbuilding and storytelling is my top priority, and everything else is a means to that end. Both style and form.

Q: Then you must have a pretty big boner for his work, at any rate.
A: Eh, not really. Beyond the first 5 books, the Hellboy series is pretty lackluster (the ones he doesn't draw are just downright disappointing). I decided to use it because I wanted a faster way of drawing that didn't reduce everything to cartoons. In other words, it's just what the comic needed. In fact, my other main style of drawing is a complete departure from Mignola, and closer to stuff like Bill Watterson's. I also employ other styles, depending on the work, but my underlying drawing sense is the same in all of them. In other words: come at me, bro.

Q: How are you publishing Aquapunk? I want a book!
A: Uh... uh... I haven't decided yet. D: Don't be surprised if you have to wait for the whole series to be done, though. That's what I'm currently leaning toward.
