July Community Event: Follower Meme-Off!

It’s almost July, and that’s when Follower’s ninth anniversary is! In celebration of this, we’re holding a Follower Meme-Off Challenge in the Discord! Make your own memes based on anything in the comic and submit them in the thread on the server by July 24, which (not coincidentally) is Follower’s ninth anniversary! 

You can make and submit as many memes as you’d like. You can vote for as many memes as you’d like. The meme that gets the most votes wins, and the winning creator gets to request a new emote for the server which I will create! 

Rules:

  • Must be SFW (swearing is ok, because there’s swearing in the comic)
  • You can use any art from the comic, or Bug’s art, or draw your own
  • Post it to the thread on the server in the events channel
    • By posting, you’re agreeing to give other people permission to use your meme, and Bug & Delade permission to use it on the Follower site and related social media.
    • Include whatever name you’d like to be credited as, or none if you don’t want to be credited for some reason.
  • Vote for memes by adding the star reaction. (You can add any other reactions you want too, but the star is what will count as a point towards winning.)
    • You can vote as many times as you want, and you can vote for your own submission.
  • If you need tools or help in making graphics, canva.com is free and easy to use. There is also https://www.kapwing.com/meme-makerPhotopea.com is a free, in-browser photoshop clone.

May the best meme win!

For Your Consideration: Follower at the Duck Webcomics Awards

Hey readers! The nominations are open for the 2022 Drunk Duck Awards. Follower is eligible for these categories. I can’t nominate myself, but if you make a free DD account, you can! We will need at least a couple of nominations to make it into the running! 

Drunk Duck is a well-established webcomics platform with a long history and a great community. Follower updates there as a mirror, and so can be included as part of the awards this year!

Here are the main categories you can nominate us for!

  • Best Sci-Fi Comic
  • Best Anthropomorphic Comic
  • Best Plot Development
  • Best Protagonist (Dia)

You can also nominate other comics on the DrunkDuck platform! It would be super helpful to even make it into the running, since it helps boost our visibility! Thanks so much for reading!

Follower is now on GlobalComix

Good news, everybody! Follower is now available on GlobalComix! For now, Chapter 1 is free and ready to read, and the rest of the series will be added soon.

You can also help support the comic by supporting us directly through GlobalComix! You’ll get access to newly finished pages as they’re added, once the rest of the backlog has been added to the site.

Video: Dia’s Story

@radio_chio

Dia is motivated by tragedy, anger, and sadness. Read my webcomic for her full story. #webtoon #scifiart #comics #digitalarttiktok #furryart

Possibly the most viewed thing I’ve ever made on social media, it’s a quick summary of Dia’s story from my comic, Follower.

Follow me on Tiktok for other comic plot stuff and occasional how-to tips for making comics and using Clip Studio Paint!

Ask a Chio: Does a Chio’s tail signify moods at all? (wagging tail = happy, tail between legs = scared, etc.)

“Does a chio’s tail signify moods at all? (wagging tail = happy, tail between legs = scared, etc.)”

Chio ears are usually the best way to guess at what they’re feeling! They’re a lot like cats’ ears, and change direction based on their current mood. Check out this answer for a bit more info!

Chios (and their tails and ears) are from Messenger and Follower!

Stream Schedule (4/25-4/29)

I’m streaming again this week! Here are the dates and times!

Playing even more Caves of Qud (or potentially another game if the glitches I’ve been having persist…)

The Friday Night Doodle Zone! This is a pay-what-you-want art request stream! The more you pay, the longer I will spend on your request art and the more detailed it will be! This is extremely fun and can get silly, so come along even if you’re just there to watch!
