Free Imagine Blogs

Something interesting happened recently. I started using deviantART.

You may be famliar with it.

Anyway I entered a writing contest to come up with a manga style comic idea. Then I won the contest. Most of the prizes consist of people doing character art for it and maybe even producing some pages of story.
I entered with this story I have called Dragon Spirit. I originally concieved it as a sort of parody of shonen manga boy hero type stories. But not a comedy parody, parody does not always have to be funny, you literary types should know what I am talking about.

Some of the prizes were deviantART points that you can use to buy stuff in the store or commission artists. I didn't notice it until the prize had been sent that one of the prize givers was none other than Vitaly S. Alexius the person who makes Romantically Apocalyptic.

It feels like The Captain himself gave me something. It was just some deviantART points but still it felt kind of neat considering that I had just learned about Romantically Apocalyptic on this very blog and then won a contest with prizes from its artist without even realizing it.

I just thought I would share this with you all.
Soon I may post again with something more relevantly nerdy to our cause.

Ever fall in love with something you've discovered online? Not just any old thing, but something that couldn't exist properly without the Internet? Such as, oh, say, a webcomic.

Is there a webcomic out there you enjoy?

Then you may understand a fraction of the love that I feel now for Romantically Apocalyptic.

Granted, I only just discovered it today via Comics Alliance, but I know that not all y'all read comics or go to such sites, and you must know about this webcomic. PEOPLE MUST BE TOLD.

Why?

Well, it looks like this:





(Elements of Fallout and Dune? Well, elements of Fuck and YES!)

The gentleman in the gas mask is Zee Captain, who lives in a dreary post-apocalyptic landscape infested with mutants, giant worms, and lemonade-worshipping cult members. He has a companion/sidekick, also in a gas mask, whom he torments but is really super-duper buddies with. I don't want to say too much lest I spoil things, but the comic is as hilarious as the landscape is beautifully dark and bleak. I love the splashes of vibrant reds, yellows and greens here and there. SIGH. IT IS LOVE. <3

This drool-worthy art and story comes to us via Vitaly S. Alexius, digital artist, designer, and illustrator extraordinaire. (That's right, I'm busting out the French for this one. Because he's worth it.)

Honestly, the only bad thing about it is that it has a pronoun in its title. And I'll forgive it that as long as it keeps being amazing.

Now that I have gushed, maybe I can sleep! Ha ha. I say funny thing.
