Does your character eat Pineapple pizza? Whats their favorite pizza? Whats the best pizza chain? Does your comic have a fictional pizza joint? Products etc?
Heres Sketches of Admiral issue 6 page 7, in this page the ROAST BEEFSTER the cook harasses paying customers and steals their food. Who will fight such injustice? We see a figure presumed to be the Admiral-But..ITS ADM. PIZZARO! an unstable magic sand clone to further the gruelmasters agenda In the next page he falls apart and slowly melts-Then the counter guy sprays his skeleton outside with a hose. A barrage of supervillains wreck the city. H.B's Bike gets stolen. By the BIKE THIEF.

I'm already laughing in anticipation of Pizarro. What will he put on top of his pizzas??
Elijah Lopez
Sand, glue, rocks, pee, dirt and sticks. With extra farts.
Today i am going to reward myself for drawing and exercise by making some new characters! Gonna try making Nightmoose, gruelmaster..And a surprise just for this thread!!
Been a while friends, hope everything is well. >Does your character eat Pineapple pizza? My main girl? Nah, but her friends will >Whats their favorite pizza? Meat Lovers with extra Bacon >Whats the best pizza chain? I've been loving Above the Crust >Does your comic have a fictional pizza joint? Products etc? No, but I want to come up with a silly one now.
A quiet girl that looks like a cute boy and wears baggy boyish clothes - big tits or flat chest? Please don't think too hard about character implications or design consistency, answering with your dicks is not only allowed, it's preferred.
Jason Stewart
Colored rough draft of the last party member - the sexy demon girl. Struggling to bring myself to finish since I want to just get started on the comic already.
You mean this one? Because yes. I'm hoping to bang out this picture pretty quick today and post a rough draft of a short sketch I've got in mind of the party in the middle of a fight later tonight.
it looks like you're hiding behind overly heavy line work
Sebastian Nelson
n Farms Way part 5 is up! Let me know what you think! We are 23 pages in and only just now getting to the action. This is going to be the longest chapter yet! tapas.io/series/Tad-Danger-Substitute-Ranger
I see what you mean. I might make the line work thinner in future pages, I think that would be better. Sorry about that this is all a big learning process for me.
Joshua Jackson
It'd be my first actual attempt at paneling and I may not completely grasp how to make each individual panel punchy or at least important enough to be a panel in itself.
How's this sound, just from descriptions if you can imagine it?
Panel 1 - big pandabro is carrying sexy imp under arm while helping barbarian knight lady drink a potion. maybe while a bird is pecking his skull
Panel 2 - Young elf boy gets completely blasted into the air by a monster
Panel 3 - Tall tattoo lady who is currently killing something yells at Panda bro, informing him that elf boy needs help as he hits the ground in the background to establish distance
Panel 4 - Maybe a mini panel of Pandabro looking confused
Panel 5 - A full body shot of the elf boy laying face first in the grass
Panel 6 - A thrown potion hits him and shatters against the back of his skull
Panel 7 - He twitches a little with a small +1HP

I feel slightly bullied

No tomatoes in Oi, and at the most they can make hard sheep cheese that isn't optimal for pizza. There are also no pineapples or pizza chains in 340 AD Ireland. What say you to that, Admiral? A time before pizza.
Carter Hernandez
So is this for a dungeons and dragons style comic?

don't be sorry and don't do it just because some stranger on the internet said so. do it because you see it and feel it too. not saying that you're not.
Mason Cooper
still gotta color these pages so here are some wips
sort of. It's a comic based on the wakfu MMO. It's loosely following the plot of the MMO, which is to go kill the big bad evil guy. But most of the attention and focus is brought to the misadventures of a bunch of dumbasses and all the bullshit they get into from one destination to the next. That's the part that's inspired by all the dungeons and dragon's style shenanigans I've been introduced to over the years
Dominic Green
I'm getting started on mine tonight. Should be 2-3 pages. I'll probably have it done by Wednesday provided I stop sad posting on discord like a bitch.
John Rodriguez
Finished this drawing last night!
Sadly, no one eats pizza in Oni x Fox due to the time period, but the Space Pack characters do!
>Does your character eat Pineapple pizza? Only if necessary >Whats their favorite pizza? Pepperoni >Whats the best pizza chain? I usually order from Papa Johns or Dominos >Does your comic have a fictional pizza joint? Products etc? I have one in Space Pack!
Thanks, that's what I've been leaning towards myself.
Eli Young
What is going to change? I can't find anything about it.
Bentley Evans
Nice to see at least one oldfag is still lurking around instead of moving on somewhere else or to different pastimes
Ayden Allen
your right and left margins are inconsistent and from that i'm not getting that the variable space between panels is intentional also what's going on with the window panes?
Ryan Parker
Really well done. You may want to consider spotting your blacks so that you can tell what the light source is before you put the color on. Also varying your line weight might do you some good too. Just suggestions though.
I've been in and out, but for the last two years I haven't done anything, so I hadn't anything to contribute. After my drive got wiped out, it was really tough getting to work on comics again. I decided to start this one shot, and see how it goes. Maybe I can start any of my past projects once this is done. It's sure nice to see people recognizing me here, but if you're in the Discord, that's cheating :^)
Oh, yeah, I eyeballed it, I didn't feel I need to go by pixel precision on that. I don't think I can do much about it, I'll try to be careful, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it. Really appreciate the feedback though, you made me aware of it, so maybe I won't go pixel precision, but can arrange them better.
Xavier Nguyen
>It's sure nice to see people recognizing me here, but if you're in the Discord, that's cheating :^) I don't even know how many Discords are there. There was an old one that had like 10 active users left, then there was a newer one that I think doesn't get posted here anymore? Then there was ANOTHER one I've only heard of and also one unrelated to these threads that some people have been invited to. Is there any official one now?
How's your Johnny story anyway? Ever going back to that?
James Rodriguez
>I don't even know how many Discords are there I know that feeling too well. Too many cliques for my tastes, I think I'm in all of them, but with so many discords channels in my list, I don't have the time or will to check on all of them. The clique faggotry is really tiresome for me, especially because I have no beef with anyone, so seeing this really sucks, IMO. Johnny is on ice for now, the story got harder to write when I came to terms with my own sexuality, and because of that ended up being pretty cringy, so until I figure out how to get out of that mess, it's iced. This is the last time I drew Johnny back in mid 2019
your art says that you're better at judging distance than that. it's ironic in that it looks lazy but being really lazy in this case would look more professional. it would take you two minutes to setup some guidelines for your live area in a template file or make a layer in whatever program you use and you'd never have to think about it again unless your hard drive takes a shit. even if you eyeball your interior gutters which is a lot more forgiving your layout will be much sharper and more consistent and for having done less work on every single page.
Colton Evans
I used to do that back when I used photoshop. I had settings for vertical gutters of 1cm long, and horizontal gutters 5mm long. I am working on CSP now and I cannot do that anymore, the rulers is set in pixels instead of cm, and my pages are 5000 pixels wide, so it's harder to make calculations compared to cm, so I didn't even bother doing them. Not to mention, there are a lot of different setups for each page, making hard to streamline the process the way I used to.
Chase Bell
If you're working in CSP, then you really should have no problems setting up your margins however you want them, this software has great comic making tools. Use the comic page setup and adjust gutters accordingly, you're not bound to only standard sizes/layouts.
Lincoln Kelly
Oh, I have no issue setting the workspace, what I don't have is precision, which is something I could do in Photoshop easily. The way you talk about setting gutters is like if I could tell the soft "do this" and magically, it'll do it. As far as I know, I still have to set them manually, but without a proper ruler to measure the space, I've been eyeballing it.
Uhhh, before you go any higher, the fairy is male. Other than that, it's a modern take on Cinderella, it's pretty cheesy, but that's just how I like my shit, so yeah.
So. More about GWAG. Because I was wondering about this one sequence in the story:
Gabriel confronting some of his former, now dead from old age, bullies in purgatory. He basically goes on this rant that involves him saying "This is your fault. You made me think this is the only thing I could ever be." Then he realizes that they lived full lives, and he kind of just storms off in anger.
Gabriel is a character I wanted to give flaws. Like, actual, serious flaws. Like his racist opinion on Asia, nonchalance towards horrific violence, and just being an unironic dick sometimes.
And by "Nonchalance towards horrific violence," I mean he killed a family of Yokai who were begging for their lives via immolation because it was his orders. Kind of the first major sign that Gabriel is NOT okay in the head.
no your page. don't project your lack of attention onto me.
Colton Fisher
what? it's easy for a person not to realize a page is centered. I often have to select the whole thing and nudge it at the end
Luis Brooks
get good
Ethan Ortiz
am I being punked?
Isaiah Rodriguez
no you're just being dense.
Kevin Diaz
Did I miss something? I made some slight changes on page 2, but still eyeballed for the aforementioned reasons, but managed to reduce the difference a bit. Rulers in pixels is definitely harder for me to work with.
it's nice to be able to work efficiently sometimes. I bought my first display tablet yesterday and the feeling of accomplishing something much faster is a very good one. Also I feel my art here is closer to what I can do on paper heh
>Whats their favorite pizza? Pizza Hut stuffed crust filled with cheese
>Whats the best pizza chain? In my country, there's a chain called Shakey's Pizza. When it comes to international chains though... idk. Yellow Cab?
>Does your comic have a fictional pizza joint? Products etc? You gave me an idea.
Julian Rivera
>Shakey's Pizza You've got great taste!
You're welcome. Keep up the great work!

Shakey's made it to other countries? that's neat. I would have guessed that was a pure Rockies-area thing.

You know i wanna write a comic about teenager terrorist.
The main source of conflict is the views of revolution by the main characters Linlin Zhou who simply wants to cast off all Authority, and Thomas Alooma Toure a young man who wants to make society more equal economically and Socially
Anthony Phillips
This mostly done.
how in the fuck did I not see that i'll check it out
Was originally going to be a stereotypical lust succubus. Went with a more oldschool interpretation of lust, and changed it from a purely sexual desire to an intimate desire to be as close to a person and share with them, whatever they value most about themselves. So she still wants the Panda dick since he works on his body so much, but she values the elf boy's ambitions and want to share with his dreams and aspirations. For the scientist magician who values her knowledge, Nanaye wants to learn from her and share her research and discoveries. etc.
>Beast tamer archetype along with high charisma for all the social interactions >May or may not be able to turn into a dragon hybrid at a later date >consistently pulling pranks on her more gullible or stupid party members >Most likely to have an 'Ohohoho' laugh
I once read a paper on how the 'lust' and 'intimacy' have changed over time and also how a different culture has different views on how similar all the different forms of 'love' (platonic, romantic, physical, etc.) Might have been ancient greece but whateves, the point is the same even if I'm remembering it incorrectly.
New lineup(Minus Elqen since her picture used a pretty extreme angle). Watoo and Nicollet are colored because I combined layers accidentally or forgot to use multiple layers in the first place.
This'll be my last excuse to share a picture that isn't a comic page or strip so excuse me patting myself on the back for finally sticking with it and drawing shit out for once. It only took 10 years of procrastinating and being an idea guy.
I'm unreasonably proud of myself right now and finally feel like I'm doing something with my interests.
It'd be embarrassing to describe how good exactly. Normally I wouldn't make such a big scene about it because I'd think to myself "Oh but what if I end up not drawing anything again after this?" but for once I finally feel like that isn't even a possibility. I'm finally hooked on drawing
Evan Barnes
why did the other writing thread get deleted?
Cooper Phillips
If hyw characters sat down to play a game of dungeons and dragons, who would play what race and class? what stats would they have?
Isaiah Allen
There was a writing thread?
Brandon Green
incredible it's been a while since I've seen your stuff, I love it! two questions, do you have a link for your comic? and are you in any of the discords?
Jacob Walker
I'm ashamed to admit I still don't know much of classes. But if its Rau, she would probably try to be a healer in order to feel praised. Definitely human.
Azu would go with something like berserker hobgoblin.
I love your character designs, they're all so distinct from each other. I've made some character designs and I've started writing a script for a comic. I'd get started on it but I'm anticipating my animation class to bite off my free time as we're about to start a big project. Good luck with your comic!
Hunter Brown
Just updated mine, and yes my character likes pineapple pizza.
I would take you up on this offer, but I'm broke right now. I not trying to get started immediately anyway.
Adrian Brooks
Got a little money set aside and have a few artists I’ve got in mind for 8-pages of 9-panel porn goodness starring Allison from Strong Female Protagonist and Zenith from...Zenith. Both because she’s evaded the full Rule34 treatment for far too long and I think they’d make an interesting couple especially if you give Zenith’s book a read. Bit of spite, bit of sugar. Almost done with the script.
New year, new comic attempt. Last year I reached 4 pages before stopping. In 2018 I managed to do 13 pages, but it was fetish porn, so I'm not sure if it counts. I wonder how many pages I will manage to draw before quitting this time. My lifetime record is 28, so making a short story is not impossible, in theory at least. The biggest problem is actually writing something that wouldn't automatically bloat into hundreds of pages just because.
There's nothing wrong with traps when you're on the internet.
Henry Ward
what kind of fetish porn did u make?
Christian Harris
You know, I started going through finished pages to post a properly censored example, but they're all pretty cringey. You truly think and create differently when thinking with your penis rather than your head.
Caleb Ortiz
more intrigued now...

I got a nice Rhiannon fanart. Respect the selkie booty
I'm just Bass (like the beer company), but thanks Admiral! I am happy seeing you like it :) I'm sorry it took so long, I keep having dreams where I am left left alone and finish all of the art I wanna do, but then I wake up and go to work.. One day my pizza dreams will come true and I will draw Mechanism all day every day :3

Excited rn, I have everything I need to end volume 2 of Ringo and start my mini-hiatus lined up!
I still have no idea of what short story should I try next...but hey, at least got the next update ready for wednesday.
Anybody else takes pride their of earlier drawings? In my case I won't ever redraw anything just because I think I can do 'better' now. All my previous chapters were a product of their time and I can't ever deny the love i put on them, as rough as they may be. Better focus on the present.
Still can't figure out how her hair works tho.
I even made one pic of Ellie eating pineapple pizza. Just to show how evil she can be.
Is this Dreams of PS4?
And where's issue 1?
Congrats bro. My comic turned one in january and feels good man.
I've never asked for this feel, yet it looms closer
Isn't much of a neck but it doesn't look weird.. I'd say her upper torso (and the upper arm that is lined up nicely with it) is too long.
Jeremiah Jenkins
not to me
>Anybody else takes pride their of earlier drawings? I don't, although some days ago I checked them and I felt I had way more soul in how I drew scenes. But I think it might just be that I didnt knew much so whatever shit I was pulling seemed cool at the time.
Your art is better now for sure. Although I gotta add the non-colored hair makes me think blonde
Sometimes I wonder if I should completely ditch it. It's a passion project that makes no money and it will take over 1000 pages to finish with some frames taking over 10 hours to create.

To those that post on Webtoon, whats the experiance been like? I'm thinking of psting there since Crunchyroll is doing that collberation with several webtoon series. I'm kind of curious about what you are allowed to do for things like page layouts for there site. I wanted to do traditional page layouts for printing purposes later, but maybe you need to draw them differantly for the web or something?
Henry Reyes
It sucks if you're not doing a webcomic format, there is a 1280x780p size limit per page/image.
Thomas Allen
My early pages were only designed for print and some of the text was hard to read on webtoons. Webtoons format lead to me developing clearer and more streamlined storytelling, but it doesn't give you any customization of your webcomic page. I put my stuff on webtoons just because the sheer amount of potential readers that are there.
Levi Baker
Ah so they do have certain requirements for how you need to do pages. Thats good to know. What are some other sites that are good for hosting webcomics?
Benjamin Jackson
Tapas is the best other option other than making your own wordpress site I think
A lot of people here are on Tapas and Twitter too.
Tapas is very similar to webtoons in most ways. They have their own page sizes, 940px x 4000px. Probably better than webtoons as far as how much interaction you'll get. There's a wide variety of content but a lot of it is gay shit like "Boy Love" so just know that you're probably courting a some obnoxious-about-it fags. There's also a lot of new and small creators there that are very willing to scratch your back if you scratch theirs so don't be afraid of a little nepotism.
Twitter is something else entirely. There's a pretty significant community of creators there but it's a very niche thing on Twitter itself. It's a good place to network with people and that's about it. The ADHD nature of Twitter means that the vast majority of people that see your comic in a feed will ignore it completely. You gotta know how to make hashtags work for you and if you can do that you'll probably get some retweets from dedicated outlets and friends you've made along the way to score a couple of new interactions. If you're not interacting with people first and posting your comic second though you're probably wasting your time there. It can be a much bigger commitment of your time than you realize so keep that in mind. I think it works better as a centralized place to pass along news and little tidbits that don't really qualify as updates if you're spread out over social media more than as another place to shill your comic.
Tumblr is dead after it became SFW. The people that stayed are mostly hardcore brainwashed *L*gb*T* zombies that will want nothing to do with your comic unless it shamelessly sucks their feminine penises. That shit really needs to be removed from the OP.
Don't bother with SmackJeeves it's a ghost town. Ain't nobody going to find you out there.
There's devianart. Also a pretty gay place. Not the best place to pick up readers but people will take an interest in your art if it's any good.

Need help coming up with a name for my wakfu fan comic.
>Story is based on the general plotline of the Wakfu MMO >Most of the substance is inspired by Dungeons and Dragon's style shenanigans with a "Chaotic stupid" party >Primarily Comedy with action and adventure >Sexually charged as all French based properties should be. >Wakfu is the name of the world's magic that everything revolves around >The evil villain and final boss is called Ogrest and he's crying or some shit
Any ideas? So far I was thinking like... >Wakfu and...something that starts with W. Wakfu and Wiggers. fuck. >Wakfu: The Quest for Ogrest(?)
Jack Green
Bleh, I'm currently doing storyboards (with dialogue) at work so I have no energy left to blow into my own comic. Good thing it's temporary.
Why not both?
Hiveworks is another site, but you have to submit an application there. Does anyone have experience with them?
>She gets married, has kids and assimilates perfectly >Webcomic is about her journey to earth and her assimilation
It sounds fucking boring, shouldn't she have difficultly assimilating to 1950's earth? if it's super easy for her and she does it perfectly where's the conflict? why not just make it about a 1950's family?
Me too, wonder how much can I improve by just tryharding a year from now.
>Pizza dreams literally became true Basado. Imagine the possibilities, you could like use screens for future tournament entries with that... I'll be waiting for that gameplay
True, you become more technical with practice. At first I intended to do a way more cartoony approach...but ended up being more worried for anatomy and perspective.
So much soul you had that it inspired me to do an homage of your famous baby page. Never forget.
>Blonde That's because she WAS blonde. But people kept picturing her as a redhead so I went and declared that oficial after a poll. I personally like both ways.
Not sharing is bad, user.
I have to split my scroll updates in many parts so I can upload them in webtoon. They have more people but less engagement in my experience, can't blame them though as I only shill in here.
I like how all your main characters have the same face.
??? are you continuing an argument you had before?

this one I might do but after I finish the chapter since it will be complicated
sometimes..........progress is a mistake,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, its not worth making things take days compared to a scribble you can shit out in a minute and it looks acceptable

No one has anything to say to this?
Jacob Torres
pictures in* that bo "with others you mean humans?" needs a comma after others (or an ellipsis)
that's it! though.. if it ever comes up in the comic, it's 'postapocalyptic'. remember 'calypso' meaning 'hidden' and you'll remember the y. (or not, because I guess they write it 'calipso' in Espanol...)
awesome, there's lizardmen and this bear has powers. I'm loving this comic. The style is so perfect, it avoids looking too goofy.

Nathaniel Wilson
>Any constructive criticism? i would have to look at it for that. how about let your psychotic pizza dreams just be psychotic pizza dreams
Camden Sanders
Not that user, but it lacks visual depth. I think the style is valid if you aim for a grungy (was it called?) look, but try to give them a bit of structure and some perspective once in a while. Some perspective in the 2nd panel for example, otherwise the characters look like stickers, not inside the actual scene. Not saying that it's easy, but aim for structure and that. You can keep the messy inks even then.
Cooper Morris
So I should just adhere to the Bible and not have any sort of creativity?
Honestly, what the fuck else should I do with his character? Because I’ve got a bunch of other personality aspects of his
>Seems to really look up to Alvin York. >He really cares about his parents. >Surprisingly good with farming equipment >Has a fondness for mentally ruminating on his much happier childhood. >His bitterness hides a lonely man who really hasn’t had a long lasting friendship because of circumstances. And how, in the military, when he did get friends, he outlasted all of them. It sucks being a one man army because no one can keep up. >He doesn’t really whine about his issues. He prefers to keep them bottled up. This, however, is not presented as “Cool and manly” but is rather a really unhealthy habit that’s probably contributing to his poor mental state >He has a very blunt viewpoint
Long story short, Gabriel isn’t meant to be likable, but he is made to be sympathetic.
I wanted to make it a kind of bleak story on an individual scale. Because while they stand a pretty good chance of winning the war, Gabriel is a man who just wants to stop existing because he’s tired of it all. He’s basically choosing death because he’s tired of life. But this makes the few genuinely heartwarming moments where he shows a softer side to his personality hit harder.
Christopher Cook
It isnt easy at all, it takes her years and is awkward and embarrassing as fuck. Perhaps i didnt explain properly. it tells the story of her life on her original world, her multi year long adventure of nearly dying from injury and illnesses from her new environment, escaping capture from the government and people she pissed off, failing miserably to fit in, learning a completely foreign language. She will overcome the challenges of adapting and become a picture perfect 50s housewife(except for a few obviously non human physical traits which i have yet to decide on)
Robert Perez
I think that other user means you should study the material better before writing fanfiction
I'm not sure how well I'd enjoy a comic about a guy who's beaten down by (after)life and is just tired, because that's how I feel when I'm NOT reading comics. But you should make the comic that interests you, and not be so concerned with other people that you bump your own post to ask for more input.
Adam Butler
For pizzaro hes mess grungy and gross, and thank you! Depth and perspective is something i should definitely practice on! Sometimes i feel like i forget how to draw sometimes. I wanna go back to art school. If i was...Would i know it? My pizza dreams are no longer dreams, they have escaped into reality. Deal with it.
This isn’t to say Gabriel is a total edgelord. He’s more of a stoic, to be honest.
But he does genuinely have a lighter side to his personality. His allies merely help him come out of the shell of trauma he’s built around himself so he can actually show it.
>Really likes old timey music because he finds it soothing >He’s actually really good with children >He grows to genuinely care about his allies. So much so that he basically condemns himself to eternal war in the end so they can escape Hell. After thanking them for helping him feel like a human being again and find the will to continue onwards[\spoiler]
The premise is pretty different from that. We basically follow an undead soldier who gets resurrected by the heavens to fight in an army of the undead so they can clear out a demon infestation in the mortal world.
Isaiah Myers
You went to art school?

I would happily read Doom: the Comic if that's what we're talking.
Cameron Mitchell
It’s sort of Painkiller+MGS
Hunter Brown
less talky talky more making comic at least make a demo of what readers are going to expect

A friend said a cartoonist should have a hobby that´s not drawing. I can´t see how´s that compatible with doing comics. There´s no extra time unless that´s your 9 to 5 (I even work as an illustrator but have to work my stuff after hours until they pay the bills, if they´ll ever be) So it´s not an adhd thing. It´s a cartoonist thing.
Leo Thomas
I intend on doing so, actually. I’m drawing this thing where God and Death speak
Alexander Walker
>should have a hobby that´s not drawing like what
Blake Young
gaming

Fuck no. Last time I tried I played cuphead and it gave me tendinitis. never again.

Today I hit 100 page views on my deviantart after 3 weeks. I'm trying to foster a community of questions and answers for my Wakfu comic that someone could ask and I could draw a short comic of the characters answering in-character. Any advice on specific ways to do that? And I would love a first question to start things off but don't want to fake a question and make one up of my own.
Would anyone like to do my the honors of asking the first question?
Aiden Gray
Still working on brobrawl, but needed a short break. Its almost finished though. In the meantime, have a Peroperosite.
Ha, this works. Any specific character or other details you'd like me to keep in mind when I draw this out? Got a race you like in Wakfu? If not, I'll freeball it.
Lucas Baker
work your magic my man. i trust you.

>So I should just adhere to the Bible and not have any sort of creativity? Nowhere did I say or imply either of those things and neither are those two things mutually exclusive. You can use the Bible and still be creative and you're free to be uncreative without it. What degree one can adhere to an incoherent text is another matter and one that you should be informed on already. All that aside the Bible is hardly the only source material and it's not the most interesting or abundant on its surface. Whatever material you're drawing from though you really ought to learn something about it. And please don't tell me that being a Christian is all the information that you need or some equally retarded shit like that.
>I think that other user means you should study the material better before writing fanfiction A hard this. Not doing your homework is just insulting to your readers many of whom have done that homework.
>Long story short, Gabriel isn’t meant to be likable, but he is made to be sympathetic. We've all seen anti-heros before. Your character piece isn't exactly unique for that.
Luis Campbell
Will do. Working on a thumbnail and some other required things to start posting my comic on Tapas first, just to get it out of the way, but since I already thought of a 2-panel answer to this question, hopefully I'll be able to post it for you in a few days.
Samuel Howard
do you have any art
Logan Ortiz
Yes, I try to post something new every thread.
is a lineup of the main cast of 6 characters.
Is the latest character in her solo picture. I've posted the others already in previous threads but if you're interested in seeing them all my deviantart is deviantart.com/keiaga
Kayden Gray
I’m not religious. Hell, the way I depict God is pretty unique, in my opinion.
>O Lord Almighty, I give up myself unto you, for thou ar- >Look, I get you’re trying to be respectful, but my vocabulary isn’t exactly stuck a thousand years ago.
>I can´t see how´s that compatible with doing comics. i can't speak for somebody else, but i feel refreshed after going out doing another thing, not to mention meeting new people from hobby #2 helps me come up with ideas for when i get back into comics, like new characters, settings, etc.
The best work I've ever done was when I got into a top quality groove and started alternating gaming for like 15-30 minutes followed by drawing, flipping back and forth for hours.
This is giving me some weird vibes from that one surreal sonic fangame, you know the one
Kevin Ramirez
fuck off you hypocritical pizzafag
Oliver Martin
When you press the circle button Tadds face turns red and he bends over for some reason? This game is so fucking weird. Next im gonna do some other HYWC characters. Oni X fox next
Do you think maybe this guy has just had a stunted upbringing with regards to shows and movies? That's why he's thinking of things that have already been done and thinks they're new? Because they're still clever things. They're just not unique anymore.
Jeremiah Howard
I am both scared and fascinated. You are still an absolute madmiral my man.
Question for patreon users: When you start and have no patrons, is it better to let people know that you have 0 users or just hide that info? What do people react better to?
game. fuck lemme look it up Sonic Dreams Collection, that one
Logan Rogers
Batman >> Tad >> Red Gurk >> Admiral
Hudson Taylor
I really like your style. I'd kill to be able to draw anything other than generic sameface moe blobs.
Liam Martinez
This user is an enigma. The way that they write, their syntax, diction and a relative disparity of colloquialisms would all indicate someone who's relatively well learned and who thinks as much. That they've never read or seen or heard of an ironic depiction of god is irreconcilable in my mind. God has always been an ironic prick it's been canon for thousands of years.
thank you. If you can draw a moe blob then you can learn to draw anything. Have you ever tried just copying pictures and faces drawn by artists you like? That's what I like doing in my sketchbook when I see a cool style I like and want to figure out how the artist does it.
Jeremiah Morgan
First question and answer thing will feature Nanaye the Osamodas and also Watoo the pandawa to a lesser extent.
Very rough draft but this is my first attempt at paneling(took me fucking forever just to figure out how to do text)
I'll draw all of these under the assumption that someone around town is asking these characters directly. Going to use these short bits to flesh out their personalities more.
thanks man, i still lurk around every now and then to see if people here are getting shit done.
yeah, i dont think ill ever stop playing video games, but i do it a lot less than i used to now because theres plenty of other fun stuff to do out there too.
>When you start and have no patrons, is it better to let people know that you have 0 users or just hide that info? What do people react better to?
in my experience, i dont think most people care that you have 0 patrons from the jump. everybody on there started from zero. just focus on making the best core content that you can; you can't sell something without having a product to sell to people. (if it's a comic, focus on making that comic as good as it can be)
on that token, just be prepared to follow through on any advertised benefits once patrons start to roll in.
For patreon I've seen a lot of people do fun stuff like a monthly trading card, and a new one each month. I think stuff like that would be neat, but then again, I like collecting trading cards anyway..
Lucas Reed
I was thinking of making trading cards so that's a cool idea I like. My ultimate pipe dream is to make an Oi! TCG one day.
But you can always have a patreon even if you don’t produce!
Samuel Sullivan
Bumping with progress. I have wasted (invested...?) my time these days in drawing Tamamo lewds but I promised myself I will finish this page today since its my free day, so lets roll with it.
I think I needed a sort of break.
thats amazing dude
I think -and I have experienced it myself- that people dont feel too keen to judge writing ideas unless they are short concepts. Work on the comic and then we will be able to judge it. So far my only concern its that the character feels like an author avatar, which could make the way readers and you judge it very different.
>timing I am just currently attempting gifs. If I dont have a reference (like that one) it does feel scrambled. But well, I will learn as I go. I love your gifs btw.
