🕑 Added 2025-04-23 06:04:25 +0000 UTCThis concludes the Sylus comic!! 💖💖This was the first time doing a long form comic. I learned a lot from this experience how to use CSP assets and realizing things i did wrong writing wise. I appreciate you guys for supporting me through it even though I know not many of you guys know Sylus. I can’t express how grateful I am you take the chance on supporting me through this learning journey. I had a lot of self doubt throughout the process as it is smth new i was trying to tackle. Also had some not so nice DMs when i was starting this so i almost felt like dropping the story many times throughout the months tbh. But i thought about how future self would hate that i did something half way. Atleast now that i finished i have something to look back on as proof that i can push through.
💖FACTS/ Q&A:
💖BACKGROUND OF THE STORY: This story is based on my Two OCs from a couple years back about a motorcyclist and an author who live next door to each other. I wrote the story back when i had just started living by myself in my first apartment. In my parking garage there was a motorcycle🤣. I often thought it be funny meeting a guy in the elevator of my apartment complex. But no……..my neighbor was two elderly couple (60-70?maybe the guy was 80) and one day they had rlly loud s3x and it traumatized me :D. It was rlly loud and at that time i had no furniture so it echoed through my apartment. That’s when i realized how thin the walls were and my rent was NOT cheap to be doing that 😭. Few days later i bump into them cause of fire alarm going off in whole building…. So that’s the backstory of this story.
💖BACKGROUND OF HOW I WROTE THE CHARACTERS: I see Sylus as the type to push his partner when it comes to what they want. Like be super supportive of his partner’s goals and aspirations. Him supporting MC in her career is what i wanted to emphasize on. Sylus is his story was always outcasted and feared. But deep down he always wanted to belong (his myth in the game) So i liked the idea of him finding comfort in MC writing, knowing that it is possible for him to find that connection. Moving into the big city, MC started off optimistic about love but over the years she loses faith in it meeting different men and being treated badly. As she loses faith in love herself, her writing struggles as well. Sylus is what inspires her. He’s inexperienced with this and needed the twins to give him that little push 😭. The twins know boss man isn’t affectionate. Sylus has trouble expressing it during the flashback but deep down he cares about the twins and mephisto.
💖MISTAKES: I think something that went wrong is i really wanted to tell the story and instead of keeping it for my OCs i got excited when Sylus came out and tried inserting him into the story. I really wanted to do a biker/gang leader story. This was when Sylus lore wasn’t dropped so just assumed he was evil 😓. As the game progressed i also realized he is such a softie. I think my mistake here is jumping on writing Sylus before he was completely out. I was so excited he went in hand with the motorcycle neighbor story i had. Ik ppl were also disappointed i didn’t do a more lore accurate one and did a modern take instead. AHHHH trust me i beat myself over it a lot. But its been done and i told myself what matters the most now is try to capture him the best i can characterization wise.
💖QUESTIONS:
Fish: I'm curious about how you developed your current art style?
I started drawing fanart trying to draw like Haikyuu….LOL when i started drawing i really enjoy looking at Haikyuu, Bleach, 19days, jjk art. my style changed drastically over the years. over time as i drew more and more and I feel like my style just took over gradually? Like i rlly liked muscles and i tend to draw faces long. I don’t rlly think about it when draw. I think the more you draw you just have an eye for what you like to see!
ilovyoo: i'm curious how u find the features for each MC!!
I still need to work on my range of MCs but i tend to draw what i can draw repeatedly and fast. I don’t have time to flush out an actual OC due to the schedule 0-0 im well aware i have much more improvements to do and range to cover! I do find it endearing when you guys like mc 🤣🤣🫶🫶
Nicole:
- What is your fav pannel in general and your fav pannel of mc or sylus or them together!
- How do you write a cohesive story? Or any tips on building a good plot/story
My fave is her hugging him on motorcycle and him finding out she is wearing “comfortable” panties LOL😭😭
I’m trying to figure out that too LMAO i think writing and reflecting back is the best way to see what worked and what didn’t and keep going. I’m new to story telling so it’s been quite an experience :D. I think smth that helped when writing was “if I’m not enjoying writing this part my reader won’t enjoy this either” so I’d scrap ideas and redo it!
terriblexample: • (ig this is more of a request but) is it possible to, like, compile the finished comics into a pdf or something once you're totally done so it's easier to go back and read through?
Hmmmm ILL FIGURE THAT OUT!! I did put them into collections for u guys but I’ll see if there’s a better way. I thought of doing it how i did with loid and yor but with the 94 pages 4 times skin tones it will be rlly difficult for Patreon to handle. I’m gonna look into PDF!!! That sounds like a good idea. I’ll see if i can do it with the Geto comic. I’m not really proud of this one 😓
• do you have any OCs you've wanted us to meet? Nooo hehe.. i want to improve more. My last ocs was the biker and author 😭😭 unless you got MCs
• do you prefer making longer or shorter comics?
Mmm longer when it’s character i loveeee. I think i will go HAM on Gojo or Caleb AHHHHHHHHH or Toji and Mamaguro 0-0
Short if its for characters i like but wanna get the smut out for yall😭😭
• the action scenes are fun! (well, i mean, except for the whole...stabbing thing but, ykw i mean) so do you think you'll be adding more backstories to future comics?
Only for long form!!!
• did you drink water and take a stretch break today
No……….. but i will😌 have you?
• if you could have a pocketfull of chibi husbandos, who would you want to bring everywhere with you?
GOJO CALEB SYLUS hehehehehehehehehheehehe

I really like your work cuz there’s always a story, it’s emotional in a way and you can see, and me being a sucker for that it got me giggling and kicking my feet and feeling butterflies in my stomach~~ keep doing what you do Yuana!!! You are absolutely amazing, but pls also pls pls pls take care of yourself girl 😤😤 P.S.

i barely know Sylus from seeing fanarts on my fyp, so i enjoyed the way you wrote him as it gave him some character. also really enjoyed the longer comic, you did really well for a first time! i hope you give your shot at more lengthy comics every once in a while, it was super fun to read ☺️ (if ever you need scenarios, i wrote a few fanfics i’d have no issue letting you use. i have the same @ on instagram if you want to reach out, but i’m sure you’ve got plenty of ideas of your own and i can’t wait to see & read them)
