From The Creator Jeff: I first started drawing Pon and Zi in the last few months of 2004. Originally, the characters were gray and nameless, and I put them in violent, hopefully humorous situations. My deviantART Gallery started to get a bit more attention as soon as the characters began to frequent it, so I decided to develop them. My first serious relationship began in December of 2004, and the characters consequently became less violent and found themselves in relationship-themed comics. I decided to assign each character with a color because gray didn't seem to convey love very well and because I was beginning to assign characteristic traits to each character. I wanted to avoid giving either character a gender because I wanted everyone to be able to relate to every comic and because I realize that especially recently, disregard to traditional gender rules is commonplace. Blue and yellow seemed to work best, so I stuck with those two colors. They still needed names. I figured that minimalistic characters should have minimalistic names, so I named the blue one Zi, but got stuck with the name for the yellow one. My little brother suggested Pon and it worked. Since then, the style used to draw the comics has changed subtly, but they've always been created in basically the same way. I sketch each comic on copy paper and ink the lineart with either a Sakura Pigma Brush Pen or a Copic Sketch Brush Tip. After that, I scan the lineart and used to color it with Adobe Photoshop, but recently started using the program, Open Canvas with my tablet PC. I still continue to make new comics when I have time, so check the gallery often. <3
