So... basically I'm thinking about making a BCB fan comic. It would follow Lucy at her new school. She is miserable, heart broken, and friendless. Enter Robi! I really hope to get both BCB's reader's and writer's support. The art may be sub-par, hell, maybe most of it will be in emoticons, but everyone starts somewhere!

More fan art is always nice but you're going to get some back lash with the use of a fan character. (Especially introducing it as what appears to be a love interest XD) I immediately get the sense that this Robi is going to fit the Mary Sue archetype who is going to magically make Lucy all better with his love.

Admittedly i've done the same thing in my head for a whole number of comics and movies, imagined myself in the scenario and what I would do differently to make the situation better, it's a consequence of relating to the problems these very well designed characters have gone through, but it's almost always quite cheesy.

If I might suggest an idea, perhaps a fan comic showing your head canon on what Lucy has been going through this last month would make for a good story? :)

i agree with anialator and another thing is the love interest doesn't show much or any originality since its the same design as mike but with two different colored eyes and a white spot over their eye and a blue collar.

Robi isn't magically going to fix everything with love, storyline wise in BCB: Robi Files, a deeper background of Robi is going to be revealed, and it's at that point Lucy would start getting to know him, and eventually, with enough time given, which may be an upwards of a year and a half to two years, start considering him as a potential love interest. The concept for Robi's character is actually years in the making, I didn't start reading BCB until 2 months ago and with some tweaking, Robi could fit as a potential love interest.

I'm sorry, but I would prefer any further concerns, comments, and questions to be sent to my tumblr since there isn't much of a notification system here

imp, the color scheme on Robi isn't final, and originally he's black, but I used grey in the proposal since won't cover up the black easily

I see why you would make Robi look like Mike this way Lucy is going to automatically be drawn to him.

Actually, the Original design he's black, and since yes he does look like Mike, I added onto him and I'm thinking about 3 different color schemes with the design

The story your writing is not about Robi though, it's the story of Lucy at her new school. If you intend to make Robi one of.the main characters, best case scenario is the BCB readership won't be able to associate with the story. Worst case is that people will actually villanise this Robi character as a threat to their individual ships.

What is the characters motivation for wanting to help this girl he has never met before? Why should the audience feel for the character, what trials is the character overcoming that makes the audience root for them ect.

Considering that Lucy is the character that we would be reading the comic for, your primary concern needs to be how you show her growth as a character through the interactions of the many new people she will meet at a new school. Finally I'll say it again, please do not make a romantic interest for Lucy, be it Robi or any other character, especially if you wish for the.comic to bear any resemblance to plausible canon. No one likes a Liam.

Anialator, you are reading way to much into the proposal picture, honestly for Robi's motivations you will have to wait and read it to find out and so far you and Imp are the only two that are saying that a LucyxRobi type of story is going to flop

I was merely commenting on robi's design
I love character development and design the most when it comes to art, each character is unique because it's crafted from the artist's imagination so having more freedom and creativity put into said character always makes me giddy.
If i came off mean or rude than i apologize for that

You weren't rude Imp, Actually I like your and Anialator's comments, they are actually helpful, Some time today I'll be uploading the new Robi design to tumblr and might put to vote which color scheme will be final. I'm considering keeping him grey and white but I'm finding it hard to decide once and for all
