| Who ARE these characters? What are they from? |
| The members of The Cobra Unit are from the Metal Gear Solid series, appearing in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, for the Playstation 2 system (virtually the same game, but Subsistence comes with
special features ^.^). However, "The Cobra Days" focuses on the PAST of the Cobra Unit, back during World War 2
when the unit was established. These characters didn't get a whole lot of depth in the game, so...yeah, I felt like
giving them backstories. XD |
| Do I need to play the Metal Gear Solid games in order to understand this comic? |
| Nah, not really. There are plenty of readers who've never touched the games. It certainly helps when it comes to
certain details (The Philosophers, for example), but no, it's not necessary. I plan to explain as much as possible when
needed. |
| You should publish this! I'd soooo buy it! |
| That'd be fun and all, but I'm not affiliated with Konami or Kojima Productions, so I DO NOT OWN THESE
CHARACTERS. *cries* Selling anything portraying/using them under my name would be copyright infringement. ...Still, lots of
elements of TCD are my intellectual property (designs, bits of personalities, etc.), so in the name of all things ethical,
please give credit where it's due. ^_^;; |
| How do you make your comics? |
| All of TCD is created digitally, and all of it is done in Photoshop Elements 2.0. I use a Wacom tablet for lineart and
colouring, all on different layers...soooo many layers. x_x |
| Hey, I speak [insert language other than English here] and I noticed you made some mistakes in [such and such strip].
Mind if I give you some tips? |
| Actually, yes, I DO mind. Only if it's a totally GLARING mistake will I accept advice, but if it's a minor
matter, I frankly don't care. Sorry to be so blunt, but flawless grammar and spelling and usage of foreign languages is
NOT my top priority when writing the TCD script. I like gists. Everyone should like gists. O_O |
| Can I post TCD/a TCD strip on another site? I'll give you credit and everything. |
| Er, first of all, no. Second of all, I only have one exception: if you want to TRANSLATE TCD into a language other than
English and spread the Cobra love to a foreign community, that's awesome-in-a-box. But please email and ask before doing
so, of course. |
| You know, most of "The Cobra Days" seems to be all of the characters hanging around doing...well, not much of
anything. Don't they ever go into battle or on missions or anything? |
| My main focus in TCD is on the characters themselves, it's true...but have faith and patience! I have loads of story
arcs planned out, and many of them DO involve missions. It's just with college and all, I'm busy and TCD moves pretty
slowly...but truth be told, I've barely gotten started. We have a long way to go. >D (evil, knowing face) |
