 Today is the one year anniversary of Cucumber Quest, which sounds like a good excuse to post a thread for it. Why not! Cucumber Quest is a fantastically pretty, cute, and funny comic webcomic by Gigi Digi. It follows Cucumber, a conscientious and unfortunately-genre-savvy young rabbit who just wants to go to Puffington's Academy for the Magically Gifted and/or Incredibly Wealthy and learn magic. Unfortunately for him, fate/his dad suddenly have had different plans, as he is now instead on a journey to retrieve The Dream Sword and become The Legendary Hero so as to save the world of Dreamside from the timeless evil of the Nightmare Knight. Oh no! At least it'll look good on his resume.  The comic has a really great aesthetic; Gigi Digi uses a really unique and beautiful art style, often mixing in other styles (and mediums) for effect. She even uses paper cut-outs on occasion! See, Cucumber Quest is basically a love letter to the saccharine and silly fantasy universes of Paper Mario and Kirby, in both style and substance. It's incredibly light, but not necessarily kiddy. It's very general audience; if you have any sort of soul you will find it quite endearing and funny!    Cucumber Quest has a pretty fantastic cast, which you can learn more about on the character page, though I'd recommend just jumpin' in and not spoiling yourself (not that it really matters). I'd just like to say that Cabbage is kind of the best? Some of you nerds may recognize Gigi Digi's style, as she the artist who ran the 'hiimdaisy' blog that produced a whole lot of video game related fancomics. They are also good.  List o' Links
Gigi Digi's Tumblr. There's a lot of neat art for the webcomic here, also some world-related Q&A. Gigi Digi's Portfolio site. Bunch of Cucumber Quest and other art here. The hiimdaisy livejournal. Has all them old video game fancomics. Gigi Digi's Twitter. Why not. Zorak fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Apr 4, 2012 |

Smooglii posted:One correction, though -- Gigi was never known as "hiimdaisy", that was the name of the livejournal she posted her comics on. Whoops! I will fix that. I just assumed, rather mistakenly. I suppose this is the kind of thing that got people wondering who Miss Paint Adventure was way back.

There's now a Splashmaster power level card on the character page. He is super tough.

I was kind of expecting Nightmare Knight to get angry about it, but it's more that he just... doesn't give a poo poo. Which is cool?

I am pretty sure she's fled the scene so as to not be literally thrown over there as is going to now happen to Cucumber.

Mr. Lobe posted:I don't get why Cucumber seems to be upset by all of this with the funny spells. Maybe he expected magic to be rational and sensical? Hence him wanting to go there to get away from Weird Dad and Family.

Zereth posted:Nightmare Knit is the chillest evil overlord I've ever seen. Could be very well that he's not particularly into this, quite like Cucumber is. He's been stuck with the Evil Overlord lot in life, and he figures he might as well just do his best while he's in it. Who knoooooows until we get the eventual Nightmare Knight backstory thing. Wouldn't surprise me if he turns out to be not all that bad. e: ALSO since we're three hundred pages in, any stuff people think should be added / changed in the OP to keep it relevant?

pandaK posted:The climax is Nightmare Knight removing his helmet to reveal an older Cucumber. It's Cabbage. It's an elaborate scheme to Get Paid.

Line Feed posted:So is Cucumber Quest something that she's been kicking around in her head for a while? I believe Gigi has said she's been thinking about since she was 13/14 or something like that.
