Mushian on Top Web Comics

Drache — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 06:54:07 GMT

Hey guys. I set up an account for Mushian at Top Web Comics. I made a banner too. Let me know what you guys think. If you have the time, please vote for the comic. It will help us get more readers. Thanks guys! Banner used: Summary stolen from another page so I'm open to changing it. I also set up an incentive: Feel free to put the button on your site, that's what I made it for. I also did a little vote character: Horray!

Posting in the Forum

Drache — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:51:32 GMT

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been posting as frequently. Somehow, I'm usually pretty busy. I'm still around and I still the comic. Things are just kind of crazy with other stuff I guess.

Hopefully after next weekend things will have calmed down a bit.

Work! aaauuurrgggg

Lady Buggin — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 00:43:23 GMT

Hey guys,

I'm totally still at work right now at nearly 8 oclock. That would be because I have a deadline on Friday and I am quite behind. Mushian will come back Monday, the 16th. Until then, pray I don't loose my job...

Chapter 3: Every Rose Has Thorns

Lady Buggin — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:15:56 GMT

Lady Buggin — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 14:35:08 GMT

If you're a member please subscribe to us! :D The more subscribers we get the more notice we get on the site (or so I'm led to believe)

Thanks a million to whoever submitted the comic :)

DON'T MOVE OR THE UPDATE GETS IT!

Lady Buggin — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 18:37:00 GMT

OK I'll level with you. Here are the reasons I haven't been updating regularly. 1 --- World of Warcraft 2 --- No job 3 --- World of Warcraft 4 --- Laziness 5 --- job interviews and things 6 --- World of Warcraft 7 --- I keep forgetting to do it...because I'm too busy leveling my Troll Mage 8 --- World of Warcraft --- Good news though, I finally got a job and I start Monday! I had to move to my mom's and her internet doesn't work on my computer so well (I'm using my ...

Drache — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:35:19 GMT

So I don't know if the forum is correct, but it says you have a birthday today!

So, happy birthday!!!!

World of Warcraft - omg

Lady Buggin — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:15:29 GMT

This is the reason i forget to update. Anyone else excited for Wednesday? :D

That is all.

So my laptop went into a coma...

Lady Buggin — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:55:22 GMT

And now its fixed. Faulty battery is screwing with my compy. Bought a new one problem is fixed, thank god. No update today, I spend the morning at the mac store not buying ipods xD. That is all.

Favicon Fixed

Drache — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 13:32:39 GMT

Due to a newish option on the admin panel, I was able to put the little ladybug you see in the address bar on every page instead of just the front page. I think it looks .

Updated rules section

Drache — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 08:39:51 GMT

So clearly this section will continue to be a works in progress. I've started tweaking the rules a bit. Any positive feedback is welcome here. There's also a thread for rule complaints in the new Complaints section. Please use that to openly discuss any issues you have with the rules. I wanted to use this set up to help promote open discussion. I want to hear what members think too.

Mushi no Ko: Mushian Style TShirts

Lady Buggin — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 00:51:17 GMT

Hey guys, Tocco and I were talking. Her brothers do a little side business of making T-Shirts. Tocco has offered to take the designs I've made and make them into T-Shirts. ONE PROBLEM. If I were to sell these at all...they'd be shipped from Japan. Hand made in Japan by real Japanese people, but I'm guessing shipping is gunna suck. However, the shirts can be cheapally made to your money range. For example "I want a cheap shirt please" then the materials will be cheap. But "I ...

The Flower's Prayer (feel free to add)

Lady Buggin — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:25:19 GMT

Just for Religion of Mushian general info (and for me to reference later )

"In the name of the Flower,
The Seed, and the Holy Spigot."

If you all come up with more (from different religious sayings or prayers) please share them and I'll add them to the list :)

Sweet Feet: What happens when 2 straight girls make gay characters

Lady Buggin — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:35:32 GMT

So I'm wondering all you homosexual male types out there, how am I doing? I find it particularly hard to write gay male characters. Male characters are bad enough (since I am sans penis and high levels of testosterone ) but I've seen so many BAD gay characters made be straight people. Any advice would be welcome. If not, Sweet Feet remains his insanely lovable self.

Other Web comics

Lady Buggin — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 15:04:46 GMT

Holy bibble

Image Marcos!

Drache — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 04:32:30 GMT

You got some Macros? Post one! Try to relate it to the post before yours if possible.

New Buttons!

Drache — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 01:35:08 GMT

Hey guys. I was thinking about redesigning the buttons on the site. Here's a few I whipped up. New Posts: No New Posts: Locked Thread: Let me know what you guys think.

Heiko's Holiday

Lady Buggin — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:41:19 GMT

A short illustrated version of Alexander's (the one Heiko is modeled after) journal while he visited me in the states. ^^. Yes, if you haven't figured it out by now Heiko = alex and Lucia = me

Dragon Con 2008

Drache — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 22:42:08 GMT

I'll be making an appearance at D*C handing Mushian cards. Say hi if you see a dressed up insect... ^.^

Mushian Chapter Shuffle

Lady Buggin — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:07:59 GMT

Hey guys! I'll post a pole at the end of every chapter since I have many story arcs planned and they don't need to be in any particular order yet, I'll post the chapter ideas here...for you to vote on! At the end of the chapter I'll tally the votes and I'll use that chapter idea.

Note that the items will be marked "Lucia chapter, Heiko Chapter" and etc to avoid spoilers.

Can't wait to see what you guys pick :)

Otakon 2008

Lady Buggin — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:19:23 GMT

So For those of you who don't know, our lovely Drache will be handing out cards to promote Mushian at this year's Otakon! Look for this lovely lady cosplaying as Tomoe Bachi, from the comic. I'm sure no character could do her justice though :3. Anyways post your pics from the convention here :3. P.S. Drache, don't forget to use your sexy ways on mookie xD and take pics!

Mushian is going on Summer Vacation

Lady Buggin — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 11:42:35 GMT

Dear Readers, I know the word "hiatus" is often terrifying for comic fans, in fact it rarely means a short break anymore. I know of comics that have been "on short break" for years. I won't do that to you. I'm having guests from abroad staying with me this summer and it won't be fair to you or them if I'm constantly drawing comics that I know I won't be able to post while they're here. I'm thinking comics will resume in august sometime. I have buffer drawn already ...

Chapter 2 Begins!

BladedFalcon — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:49:03 GMT

Yay! we are moving along! and as such, i think this deserves its own thread.

Nice art there, and one has to wonder who is she, she looks nice and at the same time a bit.. deceitfull, no doubt she will have some connection with wes...

So a new chapter starts! Speculate away!

Comic Font Change

Lady Buggin — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:46:27 GMT

Since I lost my job and since lost acess to Photoshop CS3, I no longer have access to the font I used, so the comic font will be switched to Arial Narrow. I hope it's still readable, let me know what you all think :)

Convention goers

Lady Buggin — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:00:17 GMT

Bwahahaha I made a new forum, yay me!

Anyway I was thinking, for all you con-goers, would you agree to be human spies for me? xD I'd be willing to make con badges, line art, and etc. You all may get a set of antenna out of me xD. Let me know who's going where here <3

About Tomoe Bachi

Drache — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:02:22 GMT

I just realized this, so bear with me. I thought hornets were generally mean to other species. Not that I mind, but she is acting differently than most hornets would right?

Lady Buggin is now an Admin of the Forum

Drache — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:53:54 GMT

I'm sure some of you noticed already, but I changed Lady Buggin's status to administrator so she can make new topic areas and help develop the forum is ways she likes. Plus, in the unlikely event that something happens to me, she'll still be able to keep this place going. Hurray .

Writer's Chat

Lady Buggin — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 19:09:13 GMT

I know there are a few writings on the forum. And I love a good chat about this sort of thing so for you writers, what are your favorite forms of writing? what do you look for in stories both on a story and on a technical level? As some of you know I've started overhauling my novel...again xD. I think sometimes you just need to put something down and walk away for a while then come back. That's the nice thing about doing online comics though, you can shift stories around. But in novels ...

Mushian on Wikipedia?

Lady Buggin — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:33:36 GMT

Lucia has a Cameo in the comic "Stalag '99"

Lady Buggin — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 13:42:06 GMT

Heehee I signed up for it and I think she did a good job with character design. Apparently Lucia has "cryogenic insomnia" in their universe xD Start from the beginning of the comic if you want it to make sense.

http://www.stalag99.net/d/20080317.html

If she appears again at some point, I'll post more pages xD

Lucia and Heiko Flying (Commissioned art)

Lady Buggin — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:39:48 GMT

A pretty picture I had done by Dave Hopkins, the artist of the online web comic "Jack" (http://www.pholph.com) done in his style (so there are some things that are changed or missing in the character designed but to be honest, I *like* it when people put their own spin on things provided I can still tell who's who) This will go in my "fanworks" section once I get some more...you know...fan art/works xD

Well, i saw this section was a bit lonely so i decided to go ahead and make the first topic! mehehe, i rule supreme here Anyway, what better way to start a gaming section than to know what tastes you guys have, are you a fan of the innovative wii? do you preffer the raw power of the PS3? Do you enjoy the libbrary of good games of the bit older 360? or are you a more old school gamer? or do you despise the n00bs that play with a controller and not a keyboard and a mouse? Wich kind ...

New Sections to be added.

Lady Buggin — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 20:29:21 GMT

Section number 1 will be a side strips section. I have cute ideas for random comics that just wont fit in the main story, those will be in that section.

The other section will be a fan works section. All Art trades, gift art, and other fan made thingers will go there...that being said...make me some arts

That is all.

Kennny gets high....on POLLEN!!!

Lady Buggin — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:32:45 GMT

Dude, I just got done watching the latest South Park episode (you can see all of them here: http://www.southparkstudios.com/ ) Called "Major Boobage" in which the issue of drugs is the theme. At the end of the episode Kenny starts sniffing flowers...and getting HIGH FROM THEM. I just thought I'd share
