I love my beautiful girlfriend Rein. She is about the only reason I have to keep moving and doing anything productive. I'd been running on empty for years and she picked me up and put the pieces back together. I keep her safe, happy, healthy, loved, and fed and she keeps me sane, motivated, and loved. I'm eighteen but as many people have said I don't belong in this century. I should have been born in the seventies according to some people. Me personally? I think I was born at just the right time. We're heading into a technological and societal era much akin to the world of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and I really want to see that for the pure and simple fact that I want to do something to better the world. Currently I'm going to school to become a programmer. When I finish my girlfriend and I are going to Japan (or in my case back. I was born there and have always seen it as my home country despite being an olive skinned Native American Black Irish mix that spent most of his life in the U.S.) if we don't wait a while longer for her to get some other degree's or such. After that I will be getting a degree in robotics engineering and hopefully helping to pioneer some sort of cybernetics technology to improve life spans.
Dude I just want to say, seriously, thank you for your comments, it's so great to have a reader who's not afraid to ask questions or point things out that they're not sure on or if something doesn't make sense to them :) I have put a lot of thought into this comic, but at times I do get over-loaded with the work. When I get comments like yours it reminds me of the details I need to keep in mind. Please continue to do so as I do really appreciate it!! Thank you for taking the time to do so, and take care!
Hey no problem. I didn't realise that it was helping and most of the time I'm really scared to offend authors. I just had a little misunderstanding with Petitecream a few days ago that almost gave me a heart attack. I can come off as pretty passive aggressive/outright aggressive sometimes when I don't mean to be. By the way this .gif is adorable. Please keep up the great work with the story :)
Oh it definitely does help, keeps me on my toes! Which I need if I really want to make this story worth reading. Tethered is going to be continuing for a good few years yet, so I want to get it right. I'm sorry to hear it went down a bit roughly with someone else :( that can be tough, sometimes I have also done the same. I think at times people do this for fun, or perhaps do not really know how to take constructive criticism. I've been a working 'professional' artist for almost 5 years now so I've developed a bit of a tough hide when it comes to this sort of thing, which gives me a chance to analyse what's been said and apply it if I feel it's necessary to improve the story :) Glad you like my gif! XD I had always wanted to try and animate Ed haha!
Spoiler! His name wasn't said yet! OMGWTFFML! I'm only teasing. That's pretty cool that his name is Ed though. I like that. It just sounds like a dapper robot name. Now I can stop calling him robro because I didn't know his name XD
Hahahaha!! It's cool, people knew his name from his design and character sheets XD It's interesting when people notice that for the whole first volume of Tethered, we don't know the main characters names :P I really am holding back on lots of information!
And yessssss...I have notes about the whole story and have written chapter synopsis to last for about another 5 years! I think I worked out that in total...I will need to draw about 600 pages before this story is complete @_@;;
Also thanks for your constructive comments. I'm learning -a lot- about writing a good story as I write the comic and I'll be the first to admit there are plenty of silly things at the beginning. But they will be shaped up later. So thank you for pointing out all of my super cheesy stuff. :)
Ahaha no problem. It's a fun story so I enjoy analysing it. (Sorry if my criticisms seemed too harsh at all, not my intention, I think I insulted a different author last night on accident T-T)
I was a little hurt at first because I was thinking, "A lot of their issues are with things I haven't had the chance to explain yet in the comic.", but even so, I appreciate that you took the time to show you were thinking about the characters and their relationship, more than face value. Also I just want you to know, all of your questions will be answered in time with the comic. It's just a slow moving process. I'm glad you like the story anyway! It's just good old cheesy fun!
