From left to right. Ada, Milli, and Alex. 3 girls living in an apartment and going to college on a far off space colony (not as futuristic as it sounds as the space colony has pretty much no modern luxuries, including internet because they are way off in space).

It is going to be a bit more anime/manga inspired and in b/w for time. I am hoping that it could be a 3day a week comic so that there is a new comic page every weekday. Instead of a Friday Zoe this coming week I am going to post the first page of this to see what you guys think and hopefully get feedback while the thing is still malleable.

Got a chapter outlined and the first 2 pages done so far, there is 8pgs in my outline but might increase it to 10 to allow for more nudity. The story has grown a lot from when I started noodling it around in my head a week ago. Originally it was going to be about 3 cousins competing to get pregnant first because their rich dying grampa will only give them an inheritance if they continue on the family line. That is still going to be a big part of the story down the line but it isn’t as simple, instead being more like one of those animes about poor college kids just trying to find a meal, taking odd jobs (mostly posing for a nudie mag run out of their neighbors apartment).

I am trying to make something with a bit of a wider appeal than Zoe while still having my personal flavor. The 2 main things that turn people off of my comic are the big noses and the puns, looking to steer away from both with this comic and see if it can succeed. The art will be a little less refined than Zoe but want it to be a little looser and allow for more exaggeration (not full blown chibi deformed stuff like in anime, but think of that scene in FLCL where the dad has the snake tongue… stuff like that when appropriate might happen).

Been struggling with the name, the original placeholder was Inherit TENSE but never liked the name. After looking at a long list of weird words I settled on Shippon Girls, it sounds japanese but actually means a cattle shed in England, think it fits because they are in the bumfuck of nowhere outerspace in a place that feels oldfashioned with limited tv/internet because there is no instantaneous signals when your a million miles from Earth. Also went with it because when I put Shippon Webcomic in a google search I got back a message saying there weren’t any good matches. 😀

Let me know what you guys think of it, could really use feedback as I try to develop this so I can steer it in the best direction. Also, thanks to those of you voting on TWC. It was brought to my attention earlier today that my comic cracked the top 100, which is awesome 😀
