Silver Scripts

Summary:

A semi-autobiographical webcomic that follows Silver the Hedgehog as a college student majoring in computer science, partially based on my life and experience as one as well. The schedule is irregular due to my other commitments and occasional writer's block, but the comic will usually be updated on Monday. Constructive feedback is highly welcomed, but rude remarks are never!

Chapter 1: AI is After Both Ends

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Blaze is shown on a video call screen holding up a realistic drawing of a non-anthropomorphic wolf and saying, 'I may be a good artist, but AI may REPLACE artists. Companies may use AI instead to save money.' She then puts it down, looks at the camera, and says, smiling, 'Fortunately, I'm majoring in political science. I want to work for the government one day.' Silver, sitting at his desk with his laptop, says, 'Well, there's also the fear of AI replacing PROGRAMMERS too. And I'm studying to be one! Aren't programmers supposed to be at the top, while artists are near the bottom!'

Notes:

First strip in the comic, woohoo!

Work on this comic strip began the Wednesday two weeks ago. I was gonna start much earlier, but I decided to participate in the Homemade TCG Community Discord server's card game jam, because I thought it would be nice and I'm developing my tabletop game design skills. You can see my entry here. Well, my work for the game jam, which involved spending pretty much all my free time on it and sleepless nights (it didn't help I was facing two computer science exams), taught me how to maximize my creative output: Set time constraints to brainstorm quickly and spend as much time as you can!

I didn't expect to get the comic strip done by Monday, but work took much longer than I expected, because of the inking process, which takes much more diligence than merely pencilling. Oh, and I failed yet another Data Structures and Algorithms exam in a row, which means sacrificing much of my spare time in order to pass the class now, and I'm primarily focusing on Silver Scripts for the time being.

I intended the strip to have more shading, done in a "scribbly" style, but because of the inking process, I will have the shading be in the form of filling in certain areas entirely, maybe until I learn better time management skills.

Anyway, enjoy this comic strip and be sure to check back for more!

(BTW, the realistic wolf drawing was based on this image, and yes, I drew it.)
