I suppose I'll try out an article (if I'm even correctly doing this--I pray it so).
I am a sort of person who will spend much more time on my characters than my plot (as made obvious by my previous and first comic, Dillon, which I love despite its numerous flaws). I'm not entirely sure where the story came from; it's normally like that, I suppose. But I know for a fact I was listening to Orange Range's Asterisk and recalling how vivid the opening for Bleach was. I think that was were the cooky looks came from!
Johnny wasn't the first character I made, even though he is intended to be half of the main character. I made Mee-Ran-Dah first, on a 8.5 by ll sheet of computer paper my English teacher gave me.
Originally, Mee-Ran-Dah was going to have an extreme amount of details, lots of belts and jewelry and whatnot. But after I decided on Deadpill's storyline and what type of person she would be like, I realized she wasn't one to be gaudy and over-decorated. She's a simple, obvious being. Nothing too crazy. So I tossed all the crazy and unnecessary garments and gave her the look of a serious soldier ready for a fight.
