It's been a long journey for all of us, but I can finally stand in front of you, proud to present the entire chapter 8, as it was originally supposed to be released.
As mpgrey was telling me a few minutes ago, we've been at this for so long, that it's just so unbelievable that we're now actually done!
If there's anybody who have not yet started reading Part 1 and 2, now is your time guys! You'll finally be able to catch-up with the rest of the community.
This third part adds another 221 pages to complete the 8th instalment of TFS, for a grand total of 556 pages. You even got a few more pages than what was planned originally ;)
Despite all the frustration of those last weeks, I think most of you guys can also be thanked for your "patience" ^^
Yes, I might be twisted to dare producing that kind of content, but I remain, however, a very tolerant person. Let's share the love...it's free ;P
Do not forget...this comic is free as well...but above all, contains content which is only suitable for adults 18+ !!! (Timmy, I hope you've turned 18 already, otherwise you'll have some catch-up to do next year ^^)
All 3D models in this comic are 18+ years old intended.
Hoping you'll like this 3rd part and the whole chapter itself.
Give us some constructive feedback, share your mind and above all...Enjoy peeps!
finally, love you
ReplyDeleteNow to sleep or wait...
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you have finished all these parts of this Chapter, and i say sure completely by the rest of the people, that this Chapter yours is the BEST AND AWEEEEEEEEESOMEEEEEEE COMIC that you did in a long time.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful to discover your comics and your page before it should be very late, Shinra (from Spain).
YUS! This is great news, made my day shinra!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteI still have the whole chapter to read!
Отличная работа. Огромное спасибо!!!
ReplyDeleteChapters 3 cover is sick, awesome job dude
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing this, we all know this was a big milestone for you and mp, and also as the another Anonymous said, the cover is awesome! Great job. However, my question is... in which project are you going to work on now?! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will be "Project taking some time off to kick back and relax and recharge the batteries". ;)
DeleteSounds like a fair project to work on!
DeleteThank you Shinra!:)
ReplyDeleteI think he said he will works on the Harriet project after this aweeesomeeeee and enormous Chapter, i am not sure
ReplyDeleteOff-Topic Question: What Time-Zone is this Blog?
ReplyDeleteBtw. Great Work Shinra ;)
Good, u finish it! Thanks u, u did great work. And right before Halloween - nice time))
ReplyDeleteAh ah with all the time you add refine the last part you caught my birthday that is today, if you succeed in the upload before midnight (that is very likely to happen) You are supaaaa great man, love you
ReplyDeleteOne day earlier than expected, thank you Shinra.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait.
ReplyDeleteWell...that was disapointing.
ReplyDeleteFor someone that claims to be making a story first and smut second you're putting in way too much fan service of things no one even cares about!
Ugh, so frustrating that we waited over a year for this and there's no resolution at all. Just bullshit cliffhangers artificially created. Cut out the stupid shit with the school (if you're this stressed for time why add in all of this? It's just excessive.) Make the plot move more, instead of stretching it out. You get tired of people badgering you, but you have no conclusion! Endless cliffhangers is all you offer, a never ending build up.
This is my advice to you: if you have an entire issue focused around the corruption of a certain character, have them actually be corrupted by the end instead of this wierd cop-out that serves no purpose but to delay the inevitable.
Fuck man, I love your comics, but this one just completely let me down. At least in the last we got Lumiel corrupted, in this one we just get pages and pages dedicated to saga twiddling her thumbs and fucking her little toy.
Time to wait for over a year for another chapter.
Yes, I love your work (very, very good job) but there is no real satisfaction for the reader.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment was when Tethys created the archdemon (I wish I could have seen more of him have sex and corrupt angels!)
Disappointed by the Devil's role too... We saw a great corruption in TFS3. The way he corrupted Starlight was awesome and since then there has been no corruption as good.
I had a lot of hopes but he did almost nothing to Tethys. Some real sex scene would have been great.
I meant when KARIN created the arch-demon
Deleteagree
DeleteHow is it possible to make such quality comics for free !!! How people can complain... Thx u is all i have to say !
ReplyDeleteGreat Work!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to see more transformation, sex scenes and character development with a liiiiitle less "plot setting" but otherwise awesome job as always.
absolutely agree with you!
Delete"Conglaturation!!!" ;) Shinra, good work. Are we going to get "H.C. and The Wizards Sacrifice - Spell 2" next?
ReplyDeleteShinra, after saw your last part of the chapter 8, i have to say that i was waiting a little more of this last part, i am a little disapointed with this part, ¡¡Caution!! i am not against the plot of all this chapter 8 and all the chapters from 1 to 11.
ReplyDeleteI was waiting that the plot should have been more clear after this chapter, but i continue with the same problems that the plot have given more rounds and it is lost a little the north. The transformations are aweeeesomeeeee in your stile, but i hoped that Tethys in this chapter, she should have more clearly her loyalties with lucifer.
First off, congrats and thanks. You've really improved a lot in terms of your artwork and art design. It's really neat to look at how far you've come from issue 1 to now. So you should be proud.
ReplyDeleteIt was a story issue. The story itself got a lot more interesting, but at the cost of more "adult" material in some ways in some ways I'd have preferred more focus on the adult stuff but its okay. I'm really intrigued to know what will happen next.
Great job.
Good work on the comic. Looking back at your other comics, your artwork has improved. You've actually got an interesting story going, so don't forget that. I think it is a little disappointing that you skipped Carla's scene at school and her transformation. I understand that it was implied. I get it. But I'd rather have dealt more with Carla than Saga.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'd say cut down on some of the fight scenes. You've done a lot more storywise-- both corruption and plot, with less pages. So think about chapters 5 and 6. You moved the story along in shorter sequences. So keep that in mind. Overall good work.
Very exciting plot points. The twist you have at the end came out of nowhere, but it was definitely a twist that will energize your plot, so that was a great risk. I'm also liking what's going with Lilith and Tethis. You have a face-heel turn, it would be interesting to see a heel-face turn.
Full review of chapter 8, coming from someone who's followed through the entire series so far:
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I wanted to talk about how happy I am with Shinra-kun's progression since the start of the series. The difference is night and day. The first few chapters are cheesy, full of typos, and wasn't planned nearly as deeply. It was meant to be delivered as a simple story for those who like corruption. The art and art design improves, the plot becomes deeper and richer, and technical errors are far less frequent. Now that there is a real story behind it with great technical execution, it feels much more sophisticated and has some class.
Personally, I didn't like the art for chapter 5 as much. It felt like some of the corruption designs were made to be grotesque, and not attractive. It tried to be edgy but ended being a little bit over the top. Now, however, you can really see the detail of all of the veins and tattoos, each of those designs lending to complex patterns that feel innovative and exciting. Saga's newest corruption is an example that demonstrates how simple changes and additions can have more impact than a very dramatic change. The attention to detail is also incredible, how little things like eye color can suggest important character changes or plot development.
Shinra also seems to be getting comfortable with the writing, as the characters seem to be talking more naturally. And as usual, the text helps really drive home the extent of the characters' feelings and descent into corruption. The tension between all 3 major sides have developed further, and there's all sorts of interactions between characters to keep up with. As all of these interactions start to come together, there's never a feeling like heaven doesn't stand a chance anymore. Shinra leaves all kinds of opportunities for them to fight back, and yet the devil is still a few steps ahead of them. Shinra doesn't even have to give the devil any cheap powers we haven't learned about yet, he simply explains how he tactically outsmarts his enemies, giving us a feeling of genuine respect for his cunning.
As usual, Shinra delivers. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although the focus on sex scenes is diminishing, the story begins to compensate for it. Ultimately, you get something that's satisfying the first few times as fap material, but satisfying long term as well thanks to a plot with characters you start to develop a relationship with. As much as I want to give some constructive criticism, I can't really find anything significant to mention. I'll be eagerly waiting for the next (and hopefully last, I hate waiting ;_;) chapter, expectations set at beginning of 2016. xD
All hail the king of corruption!
I think it's mpgrey doing an anonymous review...
DeleteAnd why is that?
DeleteI agree with what he said, i think the chapter 8 is the best chapter quality wise ever released, big hug for that Shinra-kun and mpgrey !
DeleteThe attention to details is incredible and I don't mind at all the diminishing sex scenes because the plot is way more interesting and has really become as good as reading a good manga.
I even believe that we don't need explicit sex scenes at all because i find that following the plot with the dynamic of corruption is way more satisfying and exciting than those stupid sex scenes that breaks the rhythm of the story and costs time and page for nothing.
Now for the criticism i will just said you can't end a damn book on a cliffhanger you waited during 3 chapters, yeah chapters can end on a cliffhanger but not the damn book ! I know it doesn't make sense because it's actually the chapter 8 but come on it's so frustrating to know you have to wait a year to see what you expected during 3 "chapters" !!! Everything is perfect except how it ends, i think it was not the right moment plot wise to end this seriously :'(
Now that you've finished this, could you do more Harriet Cooper or Legion or Yoru No Majin
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan...after a short break ;)
DeleteMany thanks for all the hard work Shinra, Mpgrey and Hell of a Critic! This is an amazing new chapter in an already fantastic story! The style of your artwork and story writing are a flawless expression of some of my most naughty fantansies. Thanks again for offering us this bliss ♥
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure ^^
DeleteIt's now well known that my ultimate goal... is to plunge all of you in a state of eternal bliss so that I can conquer the world with evil supergirl :P
ALL HAIL THE KING
DeleteHahaha evil supergirl... Never thought I would have it in me, you really bring out the best in people Shinra ;)
DeleteThank you very much for this amazing Part 8. Thank you for all the time you spent to do this great comic. If I had the money I would employ you and let you creating comics like this all the time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some words to earlier comments made on this comic. I think these comics are for many people some sort of porn and corruption scenes are like sex scenes. So seeing just a few pictures of one corruption is like getting hot, but then nothing follows and then same again. So I try to do two statements on what these people (me include) would like to see:
- more pictures for a corruption scene and a slower corruption is better then a faster, but a corruption over 200 pages is to much
- no scene change in a corruption progress, just concentrate on finishing corruption and reaching climax
But it is your comic, it is your style and I don't won't to be a bad ass that is telling you how to do your comics. Just see it as my opinion.
P.S: When I read all comments here and from the other posts I am really a little bit scared you can stop doing these great comics. So please never stop, please! You are a great artist and I really love you style. This is all complaining on a very high level.
There's food for thought.
DeleteEach chapter is supposed to give a different vibe, let's see what I can do in the next one ^^
Great Work! Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteGreat Work and great Story, the only crtic is the fast corruption, i like it more slowly, like Mariah and Karin, but this is only my opinion.
ReplyDeleteShinra will we ever seen the Final Battle in Heaven? Maybe in few Years?
Now its time for your creative break, you've earned it and I look forward to your next project.
Thanks alot, you are a awesome Artist!
The Final battle is coming, don't worry ;)
DeleteArt wise it was fantastic, corruption of characters even the minor ones have improved over the eight chapters. It was a bit disappointing we did not get to see Tethys or captain valar completed transformation.
ReplyDeleteA little feedback, saga new form and idea is great, but she looks so rubbery and the details of her outfit could not be defined as well as the first one as the whole thing is blue in colour. It seems you are following a mosquito/bee archetype and maybe you could have clear wings, or a different coloured tail for the next comic, the whole thing blue seems abit too plain and does not bring out the best. ( the horn and hair looks great though )
We did not get to have both the succubuses in action, they were just kissing random people, for selina i can understand her role of corrupting the city officials, but whats the purpose of mehgan corrupting a school girl?
It would also had been nice to have some sex scenes, at least 90%? of part 3 is girl on girl action and no real action, mariah on moriya island had the potential for a futa scene, but instead it was just the girls licking her. The dialogue and number of pages could still be the same, but after the first scene where she welcomes Faye, some futa could have stared.
All in all thanks for your hard work, and good job. These are just my feedbacks hope you will take some into consideration.
(pls no more cliffhangers :(, a year wait is hard)
great work as usual, the big question what will happen next? you leave me with a big intrigue... will you continue the series?
ReplyDeleteShinra did say there may be around 11 chapters? If he will continue them or not i don't know, this chapter was great art-wise but for corruption and sex scenes all that it was quite disappointing. Most reviews above were also quite negative about the plot and questionable scenes which as of now have no relevance.
DeleteIt would had been better if you had shown the corruption on moriya island and not just an already take over island, scenes felt a bit rushed thus there were so many scenes but they were all so short and not much solid content.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the end of waiting! Grate as always.
ReplyDeleteIs there a list of all the current characters and factions? Honestly all this waiting, endless amount of cliffhangers and new characters is making it a bit confusing to follow.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, great scenes and designs! Looking forward to future comics!
Really loved this Chapter! It was totally worth waiting for.
ReplyDeleteSome questions, thoughts I have:
It's a shame we didn't get to see the the captain of the Malakim transform this issue, but it just adds to my anticipation for part 9
I wonder if Kimy is the 3rd archangel that the oracle talks about? And if she's going to take her body back thanks to whatever the old guy from the island did to Lilith
Will we see any more of the two prom girls? I thought that was a particularly interesting corruption
It's a little disappointing that Arachnae just turns so many of the minor angels and demons into statues. I'd like to see her creating more monsters from them, perhaps by unbirthing and rebirthing them or the pod things like Saga turned into after she'd sucked all those girls dry
Most of those questions will be answered in the next chapter.
Deletevery well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Excellent addition to our corruption universe...Thanks Again Shinra-Kun for your efforts, & also kudos for all the others who assisted you on these grueling projects...i know you DONT get paid for what you do, but, we are all rewarded with your finished product, i have been a fan from the beginning, & i'm glad to have had offline conversations with you & I love the fact that you actually listened ....Blogging, web hosting,uploading & editing videos, & artistry is hard work...I've been doing it now since 2009, & i love the rewards it brings, (which is mainly how many fans you get to appreciate your interpretations of editing of material you love so much) ...& i also know that many negative people will always have something bad to say about what you do no matter what...but sometimes i listen to the negativity, because sometimes, they are right...we as (artists?) have to take the good with the bad, when we do things in the public eye, i know you know this by now, (remember Timmy?), i have gotten much flack for the uploads i post....but in the end? i don't (really) care, i will keep on posting & blogging great material like the works you produce, & many other talented erotic artists, & filmmakers out there, keep it up, because your stuff is some of the greatest out there that has ever been made...your friend THEANTJACK
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr Jack. for all your unswerving support ;)
DeleteI just read the entirety of chapter 8 and thought it was pretty good. People above me seem to be complaining about all the cliffhangers, but I actually like them. That tends to happen when you have so many things happening in so many places at once. When I saw the last cliffhanger, I somehow wasn't surprised. If only because she hadn't really appeared much in this chapter. Speaking of which, I actually have a bunch of ideas on where the story can go from here. So Shinra-kun, if you happen to read this comment, send me an e-mail so I can give them to you at wariodude128@hotmail.com .
ReplyDeleteWell.done Shinra, MPgrey and who else helped for this HUGE chapter. I have to say that the plot have improved a lot and also the graphics. The details of the characters are awesome. For me this chapter takes a 8,5 over 10 and this because I have seen the corruption of Fallen Star (which still is my favorite) and Misses T corruption (although her last corruption was a little bit on a rush), all the other corruptions (except Karins and Sagas) were for me to quick, but I understand that this is normal when you have to deal with such a big plot. This is the one thing, the other is the corruption in the sexual scenes, which ended up to soon for example in the police apartment you start a great double penetration, but we don't see it, neither we see the girls transformation while she getting roughly fucked. I hope that you would give some more attention to your next chapters. I'll be anxiously wait to see what will happen.
ReplyDeletePS: I believe that you understand the critic on your work, but it's your fault because you have spoiled us with your great work. ;)
Shinra-Kunn mpgrey and all the others that helped finishing this eighth episode of The Fallen Star, hats off, really...
ReplyDeleteThe quality of this last chapter blew me away, I have to say, this is without the shadow of a doubt, and by far, the best work you've done, Shinra. We got it all: a few transformation/corruption scenes, a magnificent plot twist, great dialogues and awesome graphic styles with lots of details. That was really, reeeaalllyy worth the wait.
\\\ WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD ///
I really loved everything about the Tethys scenes: her new (semi-)corrupted looks while being tortured, the dialogues with the Devil, the despair she experienced. If you wish to continue with the blue crackled skin, the yellowish eyes and the black mouth, I personally think it suits her very well. I have to admit, Tethys is my favorite angel character. My utltimate desire would be to see her as a demonic beast once she is fully transformed, the kind of beast that feld betrayed by her kind and now wants to wreak havoc with the world she once cherished. In fact, her character development made me think of Mariah's and it couldn't be more perfect for her: to be a kind of demonic Mariah but with an even greater wrath and bloodlust, in brief a "devourer". I can't wait to see what happens to her next. If I had to guess, I would say that Ran will give her the poisoned cure in the beginning of the next chapter, thus allowing her to give up on humanity and complete the transformation.
I very much as well enjoyed Saga's new monster form, Emika's transformation and after seing our dears Lumiel, Karin or Clara, I still feel completely satisfied with their looks. The scenes at the police station, at school and in the island of Moyira were amazing too.
Now regarding the ending, I did not feel particularly surprised to see Leto joining the ranks of Hell. There were some hints that led to believe she would give the angels the slip throughout the plot (when she is jealous of Rhea & Hyperion's love, the shower scene at the beginning of this chapter just to name a few). But I am glad she did, it makes the story even more interesting at times. And maybe she's an undercover angel who knows?! ^^"
I'm also curious to see what's next for the Mother of All and its (not so little now) monster team. She seems to be very powerful.
Thank you so much Shinra, I wish you the best. keep up the outstanding work!
Awesome 3a part Shinra!
ReplyDeleteYou keep the high level since the 1o part. I saw that Leto was behaving strange in her scene with the spider, but that ending with her (damn you for that!) is going to torment me for some time since I'll to be thinking: "why?, why?,why?; and my awnser is going to take a while.
But good work takes time, I accept that. Don't let those "hurry guys" upset you and keep you the amazing work. Thanks a lot.
I know that you asked for our feedback, but would it be alright to ask you a barrage of questions?
ReplyDeleteI cant promise you I'll answer all of them, but shoot ;)
DeleteAlright, here I go...
DeleteFirst I would like to repeat my previous question, How did You originally envision Lumiel's corruption?
Second, Which scene Mpgrey wanted You to remake?
Third, how many chapters are you going to make?
Fourth, every corrupted character means one bad guy more and one good guy less, do You plan on maintaining suspension in last chapters when there will be few good guys against whole hell dominating earth?
Fifth, will everything go as Satan wants it to or will he get what's coming to him, (like getting betrayed by corrupted guardians?) I admit that this question is biased, I don't like manipulative guys who are convinced that they predicted everything and it will go "exactly as planned" besides even Satan isn't omniscient.
Sixth, are You planning to have the complete "bad" end, "bad" end with some hope for reversal in the future or unexpected good end?
Seventh, I got confused Karin, schoolmate she corrupted, Mrs. Angel and every person infused with her serum are in the monster not demon camp right? let's say that Tethys gets shot with this serum by Ran, will she end up in monster or demon camp?
Eighth, By now it seems like every (important) character gets two TFs. (normal->corrupted->empowered corrupted) unfortunately sometimes looks before and after TF have nothing in common. (violet Mariah into red Mariah with completely different hands, legs and hairstyle/ Starlight and Saga before and after empowerment) Can't you make it more like evolution in Pokemon so that you can see that every TF develops its form in certain direction(e.g. charmander)? btw I loved the looks and character (disonance was great) of completely corrupted Tethys... Awesome -_-
Ninth, I understand that you have story mostly figured out and you wanted to have significant event like Tethys complete corruption happen in different chapter, but don't you think that it would be better to have a chapter end with fireworks rather than cliffhanger and end it with tf of some less important character? we kinda had a quadruple cliffhanger with Tethys, Leto, Faye and Valar.
Tenth, why did You have random sister, corrupt almost entire order (which you made out to look like no pushovers in the beginning) instead of Mariah, It seems strange to have a bunch of moderately strong guys defeated by underling(Justine who was formerly a normal human) of an underling(Mariah) of an underling(Lilith). Also who is Kael?
Eleventh, Did you decide on what will be your next project?
That's all, I know that You probably answered some of those questions before and that many of my questions are kinda spoilerish so You can give me a Glomar response but some hint would be greatly appreciated :D
I loved every part of this chapter the art, both the corruptions and behaviour of the corrupted (before during and after) as well as storyline, (It's not easy to make the storyline seem smooth especially when scenes switch so often and action takes place in many places simulatneously) were awesome in this volume.
I apologize for any mistakes I might've made and the amount of text.
G'night
I can at least answer your second question.
DeleteThe opening scene of part 3: the scene with Meghan, Betty, and Pam is the one that I wanted Shinra to remodel. The original version started directly with Meghan approaching Betty and manipulating her into corruption. Pam was nothing more than an unmoving figure in the background, so there was zero story involved with Betty and even less reason or meaning behind the scene.
So the scene wasn't changed in any way; it only was improved.
As I'm sure you'll understand why, I won't be able to answer all of your question, most of all for spoil reason.
Delete1/ Much more like a real symbiotic taking over her.
2/ Mpgrey already answered this one.
3/ The story as it has been originally written, counts 11 chapters
4/ This question is a very though one, or rather why writing a long full fleshed corruption story is so hard. The more good guys you corrupt, the less chance the good side has to win, and the harder it is to find some purpose for all the newly corrupted characters. Anyway, I can't really reveal what's gonna happen at the end of the story.
5/ and 6/ As for #4, those are the kind of questions I can't answer, it would spoil the rest of the story.
7/ No, the "Cure" made by Karin is based on Miasma, the essence of darkness itself. As explain in an earlier post, they become demons.
But loyalty for a demon does not necessarily go to the ones of its own kind, look at starlight for example. They are bound by fear and power, They only respect what they fear, and what they acknowledge to be more powerful than them. The current situation is that Jay and Karin are currently loyal to Lumiel and by extension to Arachnea.
8/ Usually, I try to put a lot of thought and effort in designing transformations, which means that most of the time I have something in mind that I want to reproduce. But most of the time, I'm also limited by my own skills, still not good enough >_<
9/ I'll try to take this into consideration for next chapters :D
10/ I'd rather say that you only had to see Justine. We didn't really see when Mariah actually joined the party. As I said above, the more corrupted characters you have, the harder it is to all give them purpose.
I would say that it all come to a choice. why this one rather than this one...
11/ I'm slowly preparing Harriet 2, yoru 2 and Legion 2. Diving back in the story, checking what could be improved, working a little bit on the storyboard of TFS chapter 9, collecting info and examples for my next big project, trying new rendering techniques with different software. I'm also looking at buying a new machine, mine is at its limit and is slowing down my workflow >_<
But for now, I'm also taking a little bit of rest :P
Thank You very much for bothering with replying to my questions. You are a great guy. This work was so well-done that You deserve to be sent to some superspecialawesome place for rest. :D
DeleteKinda disappointed by this one. I was really really waiting for the Devil to corrupt Tethys but in the end he did almost nothing.
ReplyDeleteStill looks great.
I really didn't guess for Leto. I hope we'll have a flashback explaining how she was corrupted by the Devil?
Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteI’d like to thank Shinra for his awesome work.
I appreciated a lot the improvement of your artwork and the complexity of your plot. And of course the number of pages is incredible.
However, I understand some of critics written above:
In my opinion, the plot is so developed (which is great since much realistic) that you couldn’t finish a single Guardian’s corruption. On the contrary, there was a massive wave of secondary characters quick corruption that didn’t satisfy your readers hunger.
I liked Tethys corruption even though it is not finished. (My favorite one remains Lumiel).as I prefer slow and progressive corruption.
My favorite character is Leto, so you can imagine my disappointment when I discovered she has already been corrupted (I hope there will be a flash back in the next chapter please!!!)
Finally I would advise you to not develop the plot anymore since you have already to deal with: the relics, Leto, Starlight rebellion (maybe...), Lilith vs nikki, the evil cure, captain Valaar, The battle between angels demons and monsters, etc..
And don’t worry we are very demanding because of the very high quality of your work.
Congratulations again and have a good rest !
So leto is a complete unknown, we know nothing of what has triggered these supposed feelings that "overwhelm" her.
ReplyDeleteFor my part I just want one thing:
ReplyDeleteDo something as cool as that:
https://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/3353740
(=sexy princess fully corrupted, transformed to look like, and joining the monster)
and I'm happy as a clam.
Kiddin' aside you do great work man. Impressive how good it looks.
What programs does Shinra use for these comics?
ReplyDeleteI actually use a combination of different tools, each one of them having a specific purpose:
Delete* Daz3d - Posing, lighting, clothing, morphing, expression, environment,...
* ZBrush and Hexagone - Modeling, texturing, UV Mapping
* Photoshop - Post-work, SFX
* Comic Life - Comic layout
And during the short break I'm gonna take right now, I want to spend some time learning Octane for more realistic renders, and Bryce to create breath taking environment scenery.
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteIt took me a few days to recover from the pressure of releasing a new chapter, and to go through all of your comments carefully.
I'll answer here rather than one by one, not to repeat myself again and again ^^
First, I'd like to thank you all for your support, all along the year it took to create this chapter. I'd also like to thank you for your honest feedback.
I knew I was taking a big risk with this chapter, focussing on a lot of very small scenes, taking my time with Tethys, for at the end, not showing her completely corrupted.
But still, I've decided to take the risk to stick to my story, or rather the way I'm telling it to you. But I also always try to keep in mind your feedback, and take it into consideration for next installments.
Without any doubt, the major complain was about the waiting time. It has been long for you, but believe me, it has been long for me too. Truth is, better quality pictures take a lot more rendering time. Plus, I'm now creating my own textures, morphs,... >_<
I'm also producing a lot more pictures for a same scene, making the transition between all the actions more fluid.
All of this to say that, I've heard your prayers :P
I don't want you to have to wait one year to see a new chapter coming out.
So as from now, I will release smaller chapters which all added together, will form volumes.
Those volumes being the chapters as they've been originally written.
As for what is coming next:
For those who are afraid that he would never lift his little fingers (or his BIG finger ^^), the superstar of the next chapter will be the Devil himself! The time where he was lazing on his throne is over.
The field of action is narrowing down, so we should be less distracted by secondary scenes.
The plot won't extent anymore. As you know, we're getting closer to the end, and as a result, all parts of the plot will be drawn to a conclusion. All in all, the next chapter should bring an answer to most of your questions, without creating new ones ^^
And now I'm gonna retire for a short break, take some time to try some new techniques to improve the quality of my renders, and work on my other stories.
great idea shinra
DeleteNUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering, are you planning on giving Saga, or anyone else really, powers from all three sides and they become like a wild card with no specific loyalty that the sides fight to get or try to destroy to prevent others from having them? Just an idea I've had for a while after reading your comics.
ReplyDeleteHi !! First of all congratulations !! The comic is amazing, and whatever complain we may have, is just nit-picking. I'm writing because as I was reading through the comic in g.e-hentai on sunday, the page 359 didn't work. I thought it was a temporary problem, but 'till today it doesn't load. I think that's strange.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else had this problem ?? Could you, Shinra, upload this missing page, just to complete the collection. It's the only page (of all of them !!) to not work. Thank you in advance, sorry for the trouble !!
Here's the link: http://g.e-hentai.org/s/94d6de8981/752099-359
It works well for me.
Delete;-)
It happens very often to me that a random page of any upload to e-hentai simply refuses to load.
DeleteIf that happens, there is an option below the picture/page that says "Click here if the image fails loading". With this option, you can force the site to show you the page anyway.
I confirm, the page works fine on e-hentai.
DeleteIf not, use the trick mpgrey explains above, it always works for me.
It's working now !!! It needed some intimidation from the "bosses" to work jaja Thank you mpgrey, I didn't know that trick (never read the small font writing, shame on me). Thank you all !!!

ReplyDeleteShinra since the two flasks of "cure" are gonna be consumed, be it tethys or saga, would it mean they would evolve again once more, or complete tethys transformation?
ReplyDeleteThe cure will be used.
DeleteAs to know how or what effect it will have, you'll unfortunately have to wait to see it >_<
I believe one good idea about the "cure" would be if Ran take it in order to fight the demons, and of course without knowing that the cure will transform her in one of them.
DeleteThe "cure" is a medicine that supposedly removes the darkness from a body. Why would Ran take one for herself if she is 100% pure?
Delete@mpgrey, what Ran was given by Valaar I presume wasn't a real cure, but something like what changed Jay, transforming him into a demon, right? That's why I put the word cure in quotation marks, because it's not a real cure as she thoughts, but a demon serum!
DeleteYes, you are correct. But that's exactly why there is no reason for Ran to keep that fake cure for herself: she hasn't been infected to begin with.
DeleteI assumed that the real cure would have not just healing powers and preventing powers!
Deleteim lucifer
ReplyDeleteShinra-Kun good job

I love your work, really its fantastic, but I have to say that this chapter just didn't seem as concrete as your previous ones, nothing is really memorable to me, especially the corruption scenes, they just weren't as corrupting or detailed as your previous ones. This is only my opinion and I know I haven't explained it well but I can't be the only one that sees something wrong in this chapter.
ReplyDeletei loveeeeeeeee your work
ReplyDeletetnx
tnx
Future work suggestions : less dialogues ( let's face it, plot is the last reason why people are watching your artwork ), more corruption, less pages ( chapter schould contain 250 pages maximum. This way you could release it sooner and pack it with more action and spare all of us waiting and a lot of nerves ). Peace.
ReplyDeleteagree !!!
DeleteHey Shinra-kun, do you think that working on these comics full-time is at all plausible? Like suppose a company was willing to offer you any resources you wanted/needed as well as a full salary pay, could you drop your current job for this? Not that I can do anything myself but I am curious. Seeing how much there is to come and the fact that we have to wait many years for you to finish everything, I hope that one day this does happen so we can get high quality works from you sooner, even if it means paying for the comics to support you.
ReplyDeleteI have a pretty good job and the way of living that goes with it :P
DeleteBut rendering full time would allow me to live my life wherever I want.
So as long as it can cover my main income, that I can keep up on being creative, innovative and that I don't lose my imagination.
Yes, I would definitely go for it ^^
Gonna be challenge to explain to your wife where the money is coming from though! ^_^
DeleteWhen will you start work on H.O.C?
ReplyDeleteHoC, have you broken down again? Work on you is never finished, is it? >_<
DeleteHe probably meant H.C but xD
DeleteI'm good but thanks for the concern :-P
DeleteDo the angels have any way to either recover their ranks or boost them because they seem to be all doomed to either joining the monsters or the demons at this point, which I guess is the point of the story but it is just incredibly one sided.
ReplyDeleteI think they gave a good fight, now I'm ready to see them fall. Shinra has spent too much time on the fight and plot not enough on the corruption, internal struggle, sex and transformation.
DeleteIts an adult comic, its meant for the good to fail, and its about the sex scenes, unless its a story book, shinra should focus lesser on plot the next chapter and more on the sex scenes
DeleteThis is like the calm before the storm I think, there had to be a fair amount of plot to line everything up for the ending, which will hopefully involve loads of currption/Tf lol
DeleteThat's how I see it too. We're reading an corruption fetish-themed story, not a series of sex scenes and corruption scenes with a bit of story added to glue them together. With the story slowly reaching the end, the various plotlines seem to gather together at the same location (heaven), which will likely lead to a grand finale.
DeleteIf anything, you should give Shinra the chance to tell the story in the way he constructed it. There is a reason you're all still following this story so there is no reason to believe that Shinra somehow lost his touch or forgot to work towards the juicy stuff.
The strong story is exactly what sets this series apart from the rest. Everyone who can draw or render can make a bunch of hot transformation pictures or sex pictures: that's hardly a great feat. It's actually the story that comes along with these pictures that's giving these pictures their added value and eroticism.
I'm sure that including more sex scenes just for the sake of it wouldn't have been what you were all looking for either.
The entire story has already been written. Let's just all wait and see what it turns out to be instead of wanting to force all sorts of changes in order to rush the story to get to the climax sooner.
I think its because people have to wait months to years for a comic only to find out chapter 8 was more of a filler/to hype chapter 9 kind of chapter, it was all build up and hype. I don't think anyone thinks shinra lost his touch, its just maybe for chapter 8 there was too much build up and more of story and random sex scenes which as of now hold no meaning.
DeleteI don't think that putting less time on the transformation and sex scenes is the solution. I think the problem is that it was TOO short.
DeleteI disagree Mpgrey. That's exactly the problem with mccomix: too much "story" and not enough corruption or sex scenes.
DeleteIt's always a tease but the heroine is never truly corrupted. She's just hypnotized if we're lucky and the sex scenes are taking place off screen.
For anyone who's only interrested by fetish-themed stories with never ending plot and absolutely almost nothing sexual, go read mccomix they're just what you're looking for.
I must say I have no problem with this chapter setting up the plot but the corruption have been impersonnal and a bit lackluster exactly because they were too short and skipped on too easily.
I do not agree with your summary of Mccomix because I feel you're giving them even too much credit for having too much story (or "story"). Most of the comics on Mccomix (or Hipcomix or Metrobay) are perfect examples of what I call sex scenes/mc scenes with a bit of story added to glue the fetish pages together. There are exceptions (I think Emcon is pretty good) but most of those comics are prisoners of their own format of needing to deliver at least one fetish scene in each short issue, creating extremely predictable and one-dimensional comics.
DeleteI think it's an insult to The Fallen Star to even compare the two.
In chapter 8 you get with Tethys the longest and most detailed corruption process in a single chapter, so it's everything but impersonal. Sure, you could say that the finishing touch is missing, but you could also say that the entire process has been completed just fine (according to the devil's plans).
As for all the other scenes, I have no idea how that could've been done satisfying everyone. Taking Moyira as an example, Shinra could've spent another 20 or 30 pages showing entire processes for more random girls. That would've satisfied those of you who are looking for these scenes, but it would've meant even more "random scenes" and a story that just drags on and on.
If all those less important scenes weren't there at all, it would make people want to see more of certain extra characters because they would've had hardly any role. I mean (as an example), just consider the ridiculous demand for the completely unimportant Emika. Ever since she was introduced, the blog was swarming with requests for Emika to return. Ignoring Emika would've displeased her fans, but giving her pages can be seen as a detour in the story for another unimportant character!
I think going for the middle way in this is a reasonable solution. The chapter showed a lot of "meanwhiles", making the story more dynamic (it's not as if no one but the main characters are doing something), but those scenes showed what they needed to without being longer than necessary.
This story has a large cast of characters, which is the automatic result of a story that started off extremely simple but turned out to be more and more ambitious with each chapter. What first seemed like a standard superheroine story, got turned into a heaven vs hell battle, got enriched with a set of Guardians who basically became the new main characters, and even got an unexpected new dimension by adding a third force (team monsters) to the playing field.
For a long and grand story like this to work, you need a lot of characters: you cannot do this with just a select few main characters. And it's a nightmare to have to manage such a big cast, giving everyone their spotlight without overdoing it for those that matter less, but also without suddenly ignoring the majority by being tempted to only focus on the biggest names.
In this chapter, a lot of loose ends have been dealt with, setting up the plot as you call it. You don't need Shinra's prediction of 11 chapters total to tell that the story has entered a decisive phase, now that more or less all 3 factions are fighting in the same location. So as far as the storylines of the main characters are concerned, nobody needs to worry about another unfocused chapter for the remainder of the story: now it's all about them.
A way it could have been done better would be be have the two succubuses join maria, and use the same amount of scenes for their individual scenes to make more moriya scenes, as of now the two scenes they have are of not much purpose.
Deletetl;dr, succubuses join maria, their scenes scrapped, more moriya scenes instead
having scenes where the moriya was being taken over, and not already taken over would be more satisfying, goes along with plot and over all still show the same characters and the story flow would be less awkward.
DeleteI would say that I that there needs to be a fine line. mccomix is just terrible. The plots don't make sense and they go on FOREVER. even though the chapters are short, it goes nowhere. plus, the stories always end the same way: the heroines get saved from brainwashing/whatever on the last two pages.
ReplyDeleteone of the few good ones was from Akonkid called League of Liberty: Vanishing Act. it had a good story that wasn't too crazy and had a dark bad ending for the heroine. one of the best corruption/mind control comics ever!
of course he disappeared again after like 3 chapters of his latest comic around a year ago.
i love h3n's stuff. him and g9 are the best around (and the only ones around who really keep with good dark endings, sadly). i feel h3n excels in the evil part of his stories but i definitely think Fallen Star has gotten a bit out of control with characters and plot. the corruption in chapter 3 was awesome and i feel the story kind of went all over the place with a bunch of random stuff since then. focusing on less characters would make for a better story AND give time for better corruption on characters.
i still like it a lot but im more looking forward to the next Noru No Majin. it feels more focused like the first couple chapters of TFS
I thought I posted earlier and I guess it didn't go through. I enjoy that Shinra is focusing on the story. And I accept that every comic or tv show will have that one issue/episode that feels a bit slow because a major plot point has to be set up. Chapter 8 was issue for the Fallen Star. That doesn't mean that Fallen Star was or is bad! It's still great.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing that hurt was waiting a little over a year to read it all. Too much anticipation!
The chapter was a very long chapter and didn't need to be that long. Chapters 5 and 6 were brilliant and while they were significantly larger than the previous chapters, they were remarkably concise. I'd suggest an arbitrary rule of no more than 250 pages per chapter, except for maybe the very last chapter, in which case you just throw everything at it since it's the end. Shinra did amazing work in under 250 pgs, excellent corruption scenes and plot movement.
I d like to share my thoughts with u too guys.
ReplyDeleteTo begin with, Ur work though this years improved a lot - I'd yes ur comics are 4x better from the 1st one. This comes with idea's and varierity of developing characters and story. Though I think it's not surprise judging from what u post ur very ambitious pack of dudes.
I don't want to offend u but I think there is still room for improvement. Some scenes I think looked much better in ur heads then on "paper".
It's nice u don't want to get into 1 patern and be slave of it, but don't over do it, cause in the end ppl like "pop music".
Last think, chapters 2 long and every one says that. You spoil 2 much and make wait ur audience 2 long. It can make ppl lose interest.
just god
ReplyDeletefuck you bitch
u bitch hell
we see how the devil corrupt Leto in the past ?
ReplyDeleteis she corrupt or only under a spell?
Is she the new Queen ;)?
do we know, the new 3 angel (2 girl and a guy?)
I think Kimy is one !
I thought we see the police woman tf!
Has Betty and Pam a big roll? will we see her again maybe tf?
in p.335 and 372, have I see that richtig, that Tethys has 2 big horns and black "wings" and a tail? ;) in the end !
ok! Arachnea loves stone statues and the the angels and the 2 "demons" are now dead! they are stone now and it is not a tf thing!?!
is that Emika final tf or will she become a second tf maybe a "update" from Arachnea?
is the next falling star so big as this one or bigger ?
In the next chapter, you will of course discover the truth about Leto.
DeleteI think your sight is pretty good, you maybe are the only one having noticed ;)
And No the next chapter won't be that long as I would like to try another form of release...
Would you stick to the 250 page format? or a new form of release?
DeleteI honestly don't know yet what and how I'm gonna do this >_<
DeleteAt this point do we know the next generation?
ReplyDeleteIs it important for the story, that visit all the different places like the school with the Principal and Cassie ( will we see them again?)?
Are these people important for the story?
are you not concerned you open a lot of cases ( 10 I think) this time, where the
story will continues? that the next comic will have more P.?
The amount of unfinished plotlines has nothing to do with the amount of pages for a new chapter. It's not as if each and every character needs to appear at least once before a chapter can end.
DeleteIn chapter 8, apparently Shinra wanted to tell the whole story of the three relics: that seems to be the only reason why the chapter ended there and not earlier or later.
The side trips to smaller events like the school and the police station were just to make the story more rounded by showing that the forces of evil use their minions to take care of the regular world, instead of only focusing on the super beings of the good side.
These events have served their purpose, so it's not necessary to return to these characters. We could see them again if Shinra has some good ideas or unexpected plans, but I think we've seen the last of them.
The other remaining open cases take place in a select few settings, so it's much easier to combine them without needing as many pages to cover them.
Was that the only purpose of scenes in school and police station? Seems like a shame... If all Shinra wanted to do was to show that demons attack human world then it would be much better (and easier) to create 3-10 pages of demons on the streets, random girls being hunted and raped by demons in some scenes, panic, chaos and strife on the streets, previously mentioned girls appearing as demons themselves hunting other girls, possibly ended with some demonic orgy and dying city... Now Shinra introduced awesome corruption tropes. Namely school of corruption with head of the disciplinary committee and principal corrupting the students, shy, quiet and abused girl taking revenge on her former bullies, policemen who instead of protecting citizens corrupt them... Each of these would be a great story on its own worthy of a separate chapter...
DeleteI hope that my message is readable, Good night.
There is likely a limitless amount of interesting stories that could be told using the Fallen Star universe, but then it would go on forever and lose its focus on the main storyline.
DeleteThis is always a big problem when deciding what side trip can be included and what not. There are always more ideas than what eventually ends up in the comic.
Of course, Shinra could always make some TFS Gaiden chapters to deal with these! ;P
Of course Mpgrey again doesn't understand anything about what makes corruption comics good.
DeleteCorruption is better when it is the main plot and the rest of the story helps to build the tension and make us care.
Clearly it was too short on this chapter hence why people got so hungry.
Sex, transformation, domination of the heroine... is the reason we read those comics!
I meant to say "angry".
DeleteCheers man. I agree completely.
DeleteFinally someone who calls this guy for his bullshit.
I believe I clearly refer to them as "side trips" to make it obvious that they're nothing more than that and don't have to do with the main plot.
DeleteLet's see, what were the main plot storylines of this chapter? Tethys and Moyira. The bulk of the pages featured either of these two subjects.
"Sex, transformation, domination of the heroine", yes, they were all covered. Far more pages than what you lead to believe cover exactly what you are looking for.
Everything else has to do with everyone's personal taste. Did you feel the whole Tethys process was too long and drawn out? Could be, but if it were shorter and easier, other readers would have had even more ammo for their arguments that the forces of good are a bunch of pushovers that hardly manage to resist.
How do you see Moyira? If you refuse to see it as more than a useless side trip, I can imagine it got too many pages for your taste. But again, should that have been dealt with with even less attention? Then it would've been hopeless rubbish as far as plot goes. Wanted to see it instead get more pages to feature more focus on sex and transformation? Okay, but then what about the people who see it as a useless side trip?
Your own interpretation of the worthiness of each character and plotline decides how much focus you would like to be on everything, and that will differ for everyone. What also matters is how much you're willing to see this as a full-fledged comic that has a story that aspires to be as good as possible and doesn't just feature a chain of sex scenes and tf scenes without any purpose.
Clearly, Shinra has a different idea about this than you do. I'm not saying either one is better, just concluding that they're different.
No need to attack me, I wasn't involved with designing the story in any way. I'm just a reader like all of you, but I'm a reader who did get everything I wanted from this chapter, making it obvious once again that we're all looking for something different and that there is no single good formula to tackle these stories.
And saying that you're angry? Oh please. Don't feel so entitled to think that you're getting your perfect custom comic for free. How dare Shinra make it different from what you had hoped!
You can be disappointed, sure, but being angry is ridiculous.
The guy getting angry was just ridiculous but from what we can see throughout the comments this chapter had the most criticism so maybe its something to think about.
DeleteSex, transformation, domination of the heroine... pfiou we'll go far with this...
DeleteSo if I resume the situation, let's get the devil to rape all the angels by himself, of course, he is the big bad villain...who else than him to do the dirty work. And to corrupt all of his victim...what else than sex, one, two, three angels sex with the devil, sex with the devil, sex with the devil... something else... nah that's already way too much story! let's get back to the basics...If it was all my work had to offer, I would have stopped the story with chapter 3.
There's something some of you still haven't undertstand, this story is my vision, and I will carry on the way it's been written. I've started making those comics because this kind of story did not exist, not in this way, it was way too short, or not really focused on corruption. One guy only was doing it right, G9, and it was him again who gave me the will to create my very own story. Before all, I'm a reader, and there's nothing I like more than a good corruption story. I'm certainly not the best in this genre, and I in all honesty admit that I still have a lot of room for improvement. So if you know other corruption stories that feature what you really like in corruption comics, something that worth being read as a reference, please send them my way.
But you also have to decide for once what you want...
All I hear is, it's too long, it's too short, they not resiting enough, ah no the corruption process took too long, not enought male on female, not enought female on female. So tell me, how long must last a proper corruption process 1 panel, 2 panels, 5 pages, 10? what is resiting enought but not too much, fighting back? biting? trash talking?
And please, without being rude with artists working over there, please do not compare my work to what's being released at MC comix. This is not the same genre at all, and if people truly think this is, I'd better stop creating comics right now, as I definitely having it all wrong >_<
Guys, you have to understand that I'm trying to innovate while, as somebody was saying, still doing "pop music". I can't have the chapters featuring the exact same pattern each and every time. Same for the characters, I can't have the main characters doing all the work. Otherwise, everything would be boring, we would not have any anticipation, any suspense. You would know from gthe beginning what's going to happen, who's gonna get corrupted by who and how.
DeleteSomeone said one day that I was using the same excuse over and over. but unfortunately, that's the truth. You can't always please everyone all the time. For some, this or that chapter will be good, or awesome, and for some others, disappointing.
If next chapters is all about sex, corruption and transformation, I'm sure there will still be some out there left disappointed. Tough for me >_<
I would never dare compare myself to him, but if you take G.R.R Martin, I think I can say quite frankly that the majority of the world is addicted to games of throne, but still I've seen people hating him for killing their favorite characters. You can't always please everybody!
This chapters received the most criticism, that's true, so yes there's stuff that need to be improved. All I can say is that next chpater will be completely different to this one.
Everytime I released a chapter, all the critics that have been made, I knew they were coming, long before you actually made them. Why? Because as I was saying, I'm a reader as well, so when I'm making the comic, I feel it when something is not right or missing. I knew the sex scene were a bit short, I knew you would kill me for not showing Tethys final corruption after a year of waiting and above all, after 500 pages featuring a lot of side stories.
Problem is, even if I feel it when rendering the comic, it's not easy to change it while on going. But it also means, that I can adapt myself for future instalment.
How many artist are actually listening to their audience, taking their opinion is consideration? Not many. But you're lucky in some sort, I do listen to you.
The blabla is over. Time to get back to work >_<
Whats done is done, people will still come back for your comics and your fan base only gets bigger, so no worries, making content is tough but end of the day if it was really shitty no one will actually bother commenting :)
Deletebtw, how soon till we can see an update of your next comic?
Hey I understand how difficult it must be for you to please everyone.
DeleteI wasn't a fan of the chapter for the same reasons that were previously mentionned but I still enjoy immensely what you do and the time you spent on it.
I'm sure the next one will be a blast. Just trust your first judgmment:
What would you like to get in a corruption comic?
I know what I'd like...
BIG DEMONIC SEX ON INNOCENT ANGELS !!!!
THE HEROINE FALLING FOR THE VILLAIN!!!
NTR, TRANSFORMATION AND PREGNANCY!!!
(...and now you hate me :-P)
I've commented before on this I believe, but once again, I do believe that while Shinra-kun may not be the most technically proficient artist in this genre, he's improving at a very impressive pace, and his work is far more passionate and epic in terms of scope and ambition. It's the reason why I keep coming back to his work and why I regard him as our current king.
DeleteALL HAIL THE KING OF CORRUPTION
I'm really excited to read more Fallen Star. Why not just finish it? It's getting really good. As much criticism as this chapter got, Fallen Star is getting really good. Just finish it up and put it to bed. "Strike while the iron is hot" is a saying. The iron is hot. Strike.
ReplyDeleteThen I'd say move on to Harriet Cooper. That seemed interesting. Also, the short chapters are the way to go. Even if you decide to do shorter releases-- a part 1 and a part 2 and so on-- you should keep the chapter short to keep your plot lines focused.
It's a lot of fun.
Are you working on another comic?
ReplyDeleteI'm not rendering anything right now, but rather preparing everything for all the different comics to come. First, I'm trying to improve my skills, I'm working on the story, I remodel some characters with new techniques, I also work on the corruption and transformation look of the character which will be corrupted in all my stories, I play with different software to see what I could bring into my workflow, in summary, I'm doing all the ground work that has to be done before starting on any other comics >_<
DeleteShinra, your work is amazing as usual and I have simply loved it, specially the way you have developed the plotline. You and the ones assisting you have really done a masterwork. Thank you for allow us all to enjoy your talent.
ReplyDeleteThanks DK.
DeleteI'm glad you love the chapter. Let's hope you'll like what will follow ;)
Shinra, I love your work. You're a great artist who's only gotten better with time. I also respect the fact that you'll take feedback and not just follow your vision blindly, and you communicate with your fans.
DeleteI'll admit it's not a 10/10 chapter, like part 7 was, but it's still KILOMETERS beyond anything else I've found so far on the web.
And remember, many who have no problem with the chapter and liked it 100%, don't comment. Don't let bad feedback frustrate you! Listen to (some of) it, but know your work is great.
On behalf of everyone who liked the chapter as it is, we say: Thank You!
I honestly think that 8th chapter was the best one since 5th. I think that people are complaining so much only because this chapter was uploaded in three parts - hence triple complaining. People just got more chances to complain. I hope that Shinra won't feel down after reading opinions of some rudely demanding anons...
ReplyDeleteAlso Anon from 17 November 2014 07:28 isn't the only one who noticed Tethys' new attributes I noticed them also that's why I said (on 2 November 2014 11:11) that her completely corrupted form is awesome... I'm literally dying to see at least one full body shot of Demonic Tethys... In my opinion Tethys' corrupted form is the best one introduced so far, can't really imagine it being trumped. It's monstrous yet tantilizing, unlike forms of Starlight's or Maria's you can still see resemblance to her original form. You can actually see that it's Tethys who was terribly twisted, and that makes it truly amazing... Sorry I got a a little sidetracked here. I just wanted to say that I also noticed Tethys' form in coccoon and I think that it's awesome, I just hope that changes in her character (I mean mental changes) will be as great as her new body and'll make for an interesting contrast.
question just popped in my head, when she devoured soul of that girl in this illusionary world, it was just an illussion and didn't really happen right? Also what will happen with people whose soul gets eaten by Tethys? will they die or turn into demons?
I apologize, I wrote walloftext without intending to do so. I hope it's readable and not offensive, when i wrote about "rudely demanding" anons I meant a minuscule margin of folks postin' here, not those who voice their critical opinion in a constructive and (most importantly) polite manner.
May the Force be with you.
You literally just repeated what everyone else said here lol, but when they said it, its "complaining". Quote "I'm literally dying to see at least one full body shot of Demonic Tethys", Everyone else here has one scene they all like to see too. So people are not complaining because there are 3 parts, it was lackluster to an extent. Shinra is still great we can all agree on that, this comic is gonna go his way and not everyones gonna be happy with that, but for this chapter specifically, more people were unhappy than usual.
DeleteYes, Anon of "23 November 2014 01:20"
DeleteYou're basically the same as everyone. What you call complaints is sometimes constructive criticizing.
It seems like i might've made you feel offended, If that's the case then I'm sorry but I didn't manage to express my thoughts properly, English isn't my native languge. I didn't mean most of people here but just a few guys who posted during recent updates, some of them also seem to hate mpgrey for some reason. I thought I wrote that i'm talking about minuscule margin of people here not about people who voice their complaints in a polite and constructive manner.
DeleteAlso when I said that I'm dying to see full body shot of corrupted Tethys I didn't mean it as a complaint "Goddammit Shinra why didn't you show us Tethys in her full glory" but as a compliment. I merely wanted to express how much I love it.
Once more, I apologize if you feel offended.
No you did not offend anyone, te way you phrased it, you sound like the people you are talking about
DeleteSo many different anonymous, hard to follow who is who >_<
DeleteBut don't worry, you haven't offended anybody, not me at least :P
And your English, even if not your native language, is way better than mine >_<
You're 100% right with your comment, I don't mind criticism, negative or positive. I'm expecting you guys to do so, because that's the only way for me to improve myself and get better.
But I'm also hoping people will voice their critical opinion in a constructive and polite manner, to borrow your own words.
And that's exactly what got me upset in the first place... People that express their disappointment rudely or spit on the point of view of somebody else.
I've said it a million times already, there's not a lot of community that revolves around the corruption theme, so that's what I'm trying to create here. You don't have to be nice at me, but at least, try to be nice with each other.
Of course, these remarks were directed against you anonymous, but more as a general note ^^
As for your question about Thethys, you're right. The soul she devoured was an illusion. But you'll definitely see in next chapter, what happens to people who might be in close range of her mouth :P
Well, trying to make a good corruption story, it is very difficult for anyone, but you Shinra you managed to make it right, not 100% but almost in 80 % in my opinion. What makes it even more difficult, is the story by its own and the comparison that we make among the corruptions. For me a really good corruption must use the victims weaknesses, and has to play with its mind, more or less such as Miss T's corruption story. It must also have twists in the victim's mind, for example the anal sex or the incest or what makes the victim feels embarrassed and horny at the same time, these things Shinra you used it very well in your storyline, but not always and understand that it's not easy to do it in a such wide plot, but it's difficult for a reader to deal with small corruptions while enjoyed the amazing corruptions of Fallen Star and Miss T's. For me what makes the difference is the details and you can do it in an excellent way, so keep the great work, make it the way you feel it's the best for the way you see it and let us just complain about what we would love to see, because no one can make everyone completely happy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kanenas, wise advice.
DeleteI'll make sure to remember that in any new development ;)
If Ran give Starlight her the "cure" what would happen?
ReplyDeleteon this point would häppen ?
But I think that Tethys will fight against the Dämon and wins almost. But "Starlight " evil Queen make the talisman a way and she transform into the Monster she has become. But she fight against the feelings and Ran comes and give her the "cure" and sie Transform into a real Monster ( under the power of Arachnea).
Because of that, she kill her best friend or she fight against her and make her drink the "cure" so that she are together!
Or Ran sees what she did and poisoned her
self !
But maybe Tethys sees Ran and don´t wound´t that drink because she thinks that she (Ran) is a already a the ( demon) enemy!
But Rehea insists that she drinks it and the darkness get so strong now and she realized that the angel poisoned her ( best friend ) that she hate her and falls into the darkness completely! ( a new version of Arachnea she hate the Demons and the angel and and she becomes so powerful even for Arachnea
that she muss come and must first against her to become power over her new Monster!
Or the last thought! Tethys wins against the Starlight and her demons and the demons are flee and Starlight captured! Tethys are figthing against her inside demons an Ran give both the "cure" and Tethys and Starlight Transform into new children of Arachnea! ( two powerfull slaves under the power of Arachnea!)
Damn you have even more imagination than me ;)
DeleteWell the only problem I have is no matter what I always leave wanting more/not feeling like there is enough (I know greedy right). Anyway keep up the good work and make with the next comic I need my fix damnit. Hahaha just kidding keep it going and keep improving.
ReplyDeleteShinra when will you start rendering again?
ReplyDeleteI 'm slowly starting to resume my work...
DeleteI think I should be completely back in business as from next week ;)
Seeing your art has changed and improved, will the new HC characters have new looks? And would the next comic have the same amount of pages?
DeleteThat is indeed what I'm currently busy at. I'm migrating all the characters that I've created for my comics to newer generation of products. So, yes HC character should have new looks or at least look slighty better.
DeleteThe next HC should count approximatively the same amount of pages as the first chapter, yes. I would say around 75 pages.
So it should not take a long time to be released :D!
Delete(another Anonymous)
Since he approximately gets around 50 pages done a month, ill say at least 2 months before we will see it. Thats if hes uninterrupted by work.
DeleteGreat to read! I'm excited to see the new character models, and I'm really excited to read that HC will be "around 75 pages." I think that's a very manageable amount. Also, aside from Fallen Star, HC seemed to be the most interesting comic that Shinra's working on.
DeleteT_T will I ever get to see a Yoru 2 one day before I die lol
ReplyDeleteSeems to be no update on HC too
DeleteShinra where are you :((((((?
ReplyDeleteHe is dead
DeleteI'm watching you from the skies ^^
DeleteAre we going to get updates on HC anytime soon?
DeleteShhhhh...
DeleteShinra works in mysterious ways
The update may be in two weeks, as it may be tomorrow! Who knows...
;-)
Do you see the nun angle coming back? Maybe more pursued? What about other angles like that, where the women are cloaked and are only seen sexually once "revealed"? More of a drive for the demons for sure, no?
ReplyDeleteChapter IX: Liber Genesis?
ReplyDeleteLet's toast 2015 with the progress of their work.
Shinra, Mpgrey e demais apoiadores: que a saúde brinde vocês e venha apoiá-los a desenvolver as habilidades que está em seus corações. Sucesso!!!!
Merry Christmas Happy New Year!!!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year, may the dreams thoroughly twisted Angels and broken guardians come true lol. Have a good one people
ReplyDeleteDon't let the haters get you down Shinra, send the Turks after them lol
DeleteWill there be an update with teaser pictures for 40% HC ?
ReplyDeleteWill there be an update regarding 40% of HC?
ReplyDeleteI doubt it, and actually I hope not; the high number of previews to TFS didn't really spoil much because the chapter was so long but each chapter of HC is much shorter so to many updates would spoil things.
DeleteStill though, I need to know how from my fix I am lol. If Shinra posts an update at like 80% I may just fill my pants from anticipation XD
DeleteTFS normally gets one every 10%, Theres only been one so far on HC and that was an introduction one, maybe every 30%?
DeleteTFS had a special treatment for this chapter because it was so long, that I could not possibly let you wait for an update every 25%.
DeleteBut now, let's get back to the basics, so HC shall have its next update at 50% :D should not be long tho'
Will all TFS be 10% updates or will it depend on the chapter length? Since TFS chapters are genreally larger
Deletewhil there be chapter 9 and maybe 10, 11.....
ReplyDeleteNice to see you advancing so fast on HC, Shinra.
ReplyDelete...So, Shinra-Kun. I sent you a review on your mail and I'm worried that either you didn't receive it or... you found it too troublesome to answer another lot of negative criticism about your last chapter. ^_^
So exceptionally I decided to write a review that would be, this time, about some of the things that's awesome about the last TFS chapter.
1) The script: There's no denying here, that the story unfolding in chapter 8 was either very carefully planned from the beginning, or at least gives us the feeling it always has been. I'll say it again: Leto's reveal at the end was quite the surprise and explained perfectly her actions since the beginning of the story.
2) The graphics: Each chapter is an obvious improvement upon the other. Expressions are more various and in the end, well, more expressive.
The fights and action scenes in general are more fluid also.
3) The sex scenes which, even though they were short, were each time amazingly hot.
A special mention for captain Valar’s scene. ;-)
4) Variety: Not to be forgotten is Shinra’s ability to mix a good plot with our personal fantasies and come out with a coherent batch. This chapter might have been a bit plot heavy, but I believe we now care much more about the characters than we ever did before. So, kudos here too.
So yeah Shinra, as always, a job well done.
I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with HC.
HoC
I agree a lot on 3) and 4)
DeleteAny news on Yoru no Majin?
Shinra, since carla is taking souls too will she pull off something like Starlight? Take souls to evolve?
ReplyDeleteMonday update?
ReplyDeleteUpdate tomorrow night ;)
Deletegood
