Casual Days Short Compendium: An Overly Due, Barely Planned, Unreleased Comic

 

Casual Days (Name somewhat Pending) was going to be a Slice of Life Comedy Comic about some Goofy Farm Girl moving to a Quiet Town and starting her Life doing stuff.

The Period was going to be set based off the 1980-1999, where Entertainment Technology was rising up and fashion sense had actual sense.

The Star of the Series was a girl named Dynia Dabrowski (Dynia is Polish for Pumpkin, Dabrowski was just some Polish or something last name I found and thought it sounded neat) She would be living in an apartment complex with someone she just met, who had developed a romantic interest in Dyn, though Dyn doesn't swing that way.

The series would slowly progress, introducing various of characters around Town, building relationships, and Hi-jinx ensues. It would eventually delve into several of her Romantic Relationships, tackling on what works and what doesn't and etc. Primarily, the series is a Slice-of-Life Comedy, but in a way where it feels Natural and Grounded. 

The world itself is a little interesting, that it Contains Magics and Potions, yet in a more Grounded take. The Magic systems are more "Organic" in how simple and primitive it is, Generally used in basic Day-to-Day life.

"This Comic Series I had planned and thought up for Years has been going under A LOT of changes and what not and is something I wanted to make for a long time. However I had a lot of Issues even coming up with a plot or anything to do with her and the characters. Many of the information provided were mainly made and written somewhere between 2021 and now, with a couple being altered as of writing this for better context and a more fixed context. I'm not a good writer so apologies if my writing is Crap and/or Cringe. I have their personalities and backstories down, but to simply make something and make it funny and interesting is the biggest setback for me. It was at first going to be a Fantasy Adventure before scrapping it with how overdone and boring that genre was becoming. I stumbled on what I believed was a Video, and it mentioned something about "Making what YOU want to see", which got me thinking: "Would I really enjoy reading an Adventure Comic? Why Make what I wouldn't enjoy to begin with" So I scrapped that in favor of wanting to make a Slice of Life, inspired by the likes of Nichijou. (Not Exactly, but the Genres) So I went and planned, and planned, and planned, and overhauled, and changed, and planned, and planned. And now as of Today, I got nothing. But hey, I kept it all to me so I can someday post it after I get into making the series as to not spoil and reveal too much of the series as a whole, but after doing literally fuck all, I don't want my ideas and works to vanish if something were to happen to me. So I want to post whatever I can of what I made, I know this is not something a creator should do of their work as it's more interesting to show the works and not tell everything about the lore, basically World Building 101, but if something were to happen to me, nothing will ever be seen, so Read ahead at your own Discretion for it would literally talk about and reveal a lot of things about each characters and what I had planned at the time."

 The Portraits here were made around 2022, Character Looks aren't entirely Final.

Dynia Dabrowski

(Di • nya) (Dau • nia) [Nicknames: D / D.D. / Pumpkin ]
Age: 23 / Gender: Female / Height: 5'4" / Species: Human Caster / Weight: 170 lbs

Dynia is a 23 Year old girl whom traveled to the town of Rosemerry in order to settle down and start a new life. She currently has no occupation but intends to find various means of making sustainable money in her new home despite her total savings being in the 1M from her fathers farming business.

Her Personality can be described as Cheery, Childish, Clunky, and Bubbly. While Casters are known to be naturally more intelligent, Dynia tends to excel in memorizing information but often struggling with attention and certain logical situations, to clarify better, she can remember things more effectively but makes mistakes quite often, sometimes intentional to solve something her own way.

Graduating from College, she specialists in Chemistry and complicated forms of Physical Enhancing Alchemy, even though they fail for the most part. She also has the ability to Cast Magic but has a massive disinterest in the practice due to her disappointments in their limitations. "It's nothing like in the comics." In her words. She has brewed and experimented with Physical Enhancement Potions and would sometimes even test on herself, she would even try out extreme measures to test out theories like if she would have enhanced hearing by swapping her ears with an elf one (Which hasn't). (Do note that body Transmutations via alchemy is a common trend within the world, though not in a "Instant Shape Shift" way, more like a slow growth tumor-like thing that won't result in fatalities or major negative side effects)

Notable specific self-inflicted Transmutations including:
-Swapping Ears with Elf Ears (Fully Functioning but no desired result)
-Enhanced Smell (Close to a Dog, but not the Range)
-Enhanced Cat Vision (Partially Functioning [Sensitive to Light])
-Enlarged Chest ([Painful first handProcess] but overly Expected Results)
-Arm Enhancements (Keratin Grown Scale Arm [Increased Weight in Arm])
-Skin Enhancement (Pain Receptors replaced with Numb Pleasure Senses because I'm a Degen like that, ok)
-Self Inflicted Tail Growth (Surprisingly Fully Functioning)
-Drug Resistance and Addiction
-Alcohol Sensitive/Sickened
-Long Tongue (Part Mutation, Part Stretching Exercises)

Trivia:
    • She has a bit of a Goofy and young-at-heart Personality, normally acting immature when Tired or Grumpy.
        ◦ She is often seen as Immature and Unintelligent by many, sporting a Peppy yet Dimwitted Personality. However, she is often underestimated by being incredibly knowledgeable and Intelligent when situations require her to be. Yet she doesn't bother wanting to explore and embrace this side of her since she gets stressed out about it. That and she feels happier not needing to think too hard or take things seriously.
    • Her father gave her a Credit Card with $1m in the account, he was accepting of Dynia’s decision and hoped that the $1m would be enough for her to start a life on her own.
    • Dynia’s father had fooled her and her sister into believing that Turtles were named Dogs and Dogs were named Turtles. Such a thing was traumatic for both when they discovered the truth.
    • Dynia has a tolerance to Drugs and Medications due to her habit of making consumables and chemicals, excelling in Bodymorphic Concoctions specifically.
        ◦ She is capable of cooking up concoctions (Legal and not) and whatnot from a makeshift chemistry set.
        ◦ She is capable of making physical appearance augment potions, though with mixed results.
    • One Concoction she created completely inhibited her External Pain Receptors, replacing it with "Pleasing Receptors"
        •Despite this Mutation, she is not a Masocist.
    • Dynia is Human, but from where she got the Elf Ears and Demon Tail is left a mystery.
    • Her right arm is made of Keratin, grown from her skin and tough to peel off, though it grows back if a piece comes off.
        ◦ The Keratin arm is quite heavy, making her need to put more focus/force on moving it.
    • Dynia is Straight, though while she feels flattered when hit on by people of the same Sex, she also feels discomfort when being approached. With Men however, she is Thirsty as Hell for them.
        ◦ She is willing to go far and beyond just to be in a relationship with a guy, even sacrificing her well being in pursuit of a relationship even if it’s unhealthy to which most of the time it doesn’t work out. This will be a common subject matter in the Comic.

( Needs better Bio )


 She wasn't really Developed imo, drew bits bit in terms of BIO and what not. I got nothing for her as what I envisioned is her being just a supporting/side character of least importance. But hey, that was way back, if I were to go full on in this then I'd probably develop her character more indepthly!

 Made in 2021, the Races/Nationality thing is more or so what the Comic world's Counterpart-like (for a lack of an explanation). Basically it's more of a "Similar, but Alternative" thing. The Accents and Genetics and What-not are related, but since it's a fictional world, of course everything would be different. Again, for a lack of a proper explanation. Basically if she were voiced, she'd sound like an Angry German/Scottish.

Max
(Max)
Age: 27 / Gender: MTFemale / Height: 4'9" / Species: Human

Max was raised within an orphanage with his 3 friends, though at the age of 18, together they raised enough money to buy a camper van and start a band together. Throughout the years of traveling the band made a name for themselves and eventually made millions but during the travels, Max had an intimate relationship with one of the members and decided to take it to the extreme by going through a transitional surgery. With this in mind, Max’s appearance always looked feminine and was mistaken for a female throughout their career, so the public never really paid mind to Max’s gender, believing they was always a Female to begin with.

Trivia:
• Collie is a Masochist.
• Collie has a Pet Fox.

  


Around 2021 or something, I decided to look at my hold High School Sketch books, and I was reminded of these 2 characters, and being a man that does not like to waste Ideas, I brought them in to this world. I had a bit of their Characters/Bios and stuff made back then, but nowadays I don't really think it was all too great. I don't remember the details, I just know they were, again, not great. The Pet fox thing was just a funny little thing of me inserting a friend of mine in as someones Pet.

I showed a Former Friend a bunch of pics of my sketchbook and there were some that they wanted to use for their stuff, so I marked a few as Usable or In Use to indicate what they can and can't use.

Sandra

(San • dra) [Nicknames: ]
Age: 22 / Gender: Female / Height: 5'6" / Species: Human


Sandra is a Delinquent, roaming the streets with her friend Collie. They get involve in some light crimes like robbery and minor assault but never delve into anything too serious/deep.

Trivia:
• Sandra has Boob Implants.
• Sandra tends to force herself onto guys, even threatening them with a knife to go out with her.

I think this was a 2016-2018 thing, back when I was still in High School, this was FAAAAAAR from before I had this comic idea, but as from above, I don't like leaving Ideas unused. So I yoinked her and repurposed her into the World. 

I probably felt great after drawing this back then because it was a rare piece of drawing I didn't think looked like crap.



The Town the Comic was going to set in has been very difficult to conceptualize (since I suck at making backgrounds) but I do have an initial idea of a setting. It was going to take place in Falls, on a small Town with a European Architecture-like theme next to the Ocean. The sketch was only a very primitively rough idea of what it would look like. (And yes, I'm aware it looks like a Kids Drawing)

BEACH! :D

Made a character Sheet for Dynias Twin Sister, wanted to go for a more Cozy and Loose feel to her outfit while having a bit of a "Slutty Nitwit" appearance. Also she has missing front teeth.

 Ugly Face Style Era, good god!


I couldn't grasp at how comic making could work, yet these literally mean nothing and were made just because.


Literally these mean nothing, but they were gonna be characters way back when I still had that Adventure Idea, 2 couples accompanying the MC through the non-existing Journey. Had the idea that the Lady was once an assassin that was sent to take out the dude via a Disguise, but fell for him due to his Chairstma, eventually both would go after whatever assassins guild she was forced to be a part of and bla bla bla.
