vivziepop: zoophobianexus: “Waiting for ZP Reboot”-Meme Part 2 ( @vivziepop pls don’t hate me for this ;A;) I don’t hate you!! But I am admittedly really sick of these memes and constant jokes about ZP. -Especially when they just spread false info. So I’m gonna lay down a few facts ^^ 1.) I started ZP without a script, I did draft the comic’s first arc but after that I pretty much wrote it out in thumbs page by page as I went, which was fun and I learned a lot, but in reality the narrative of ZP is -HUGE! As I’ve stated it’s like a 10 book series, and the 200+ page comic I had been working on wasn’t even halfway through book one! (Which book one was one of the longer ones but still) ZP is a huge narrative story that requires a great deal more thought and writing to properly iron out and condense. As I worked on that and developed as a storyteller that started to become clearer and clearer to me! 2.) I put ZP on hiatus because I was in college and I had to work on my thesis, when I graduated I wanted to expand my animation skill as it was my major and I wanted to get a job/be successful in my field. The webcomic wasn’t making me enough to live on at that time. 3.) The fandom and audience of the comic became a bit toxic and was killing my enjoyment of my own creation, it started to feel stolen from me -on top of the fact I was wanting to better the comic for my own reasons which I have stated before! I didn’t want to lose all interest or passion for it. 4.) I still adore ZP! It’s a story full of characters I still love and think about from time to time, but I know to properly tell the story I need to direct energy to writing it out in full before going back in to work on it as a comic. Which is why I announced that I would be EVENTUALLY rebooting the comic. 5.) I have done some development of ideas for the reboot, but I have stated MANY many times that I am not actually working ON the reboot. I never once said I would be immediately rebooting that was literally NEVER a thing, so It gets frustrating that people assume it was my immediate goal and focus -Then I just dipped to make Hazbin? -what? No. 6.) the entire point of ending the comic PENDING an eventual reboot was so that I could focus on other stories and projects. I love zp and will go back to it someday, but while growing as an artist I have come up with countless more stories and concepts that I not only love just as much, but have far more structured narratives, and have a ton of ideas I am proud of and excited for! I don’t understand this pitting stuff like Hazbin against ZP, they are cut from the same cloth. 7.) why is there such a negative reaction to a creator of a barely started webcomic moving on to make a practically professional indie animated show. How is that such a bad thing? It’s been years since there has been any ZP content, I don’t understand. 8.) All that said, I DO appreciate everyone who loved zp the way they did, honestly it’s unreal to me how much those characters connected with you guys, trust me I love them and want to bring them back too, but I am an animator, wanting to create my own animated projects. That is my career and my passion, I love making comics but when I go back to them it will be after I have made my mark on the animation industry first. 9.) Who knows maybe there will be an animated zp project someday, just be patient. Love ZP, but please stop acting like I just dipped off cuz I was bored, or didn’t care, or making my decisions into a big joke or pitting my characters and stories against each other. It’s lame, and I’m just a bit tired of seeing it. I can’t make anyone stop, but it’s been like almost every joke I see made, doesn’t that get old anyway? 10.) I don’t know if these were all facts or just points, but heres a real fact -I like furbies! -- source link
