Pure black shadows is my fetish, good work. I tend to always use pure black myself when shading.

Depends on the comic i'm working on.

Hi, how are you doing? Long time no see.
My comic is on hold but I've remember I had one edited page which I was going to post with another one I haven't made in january.
So yeah, I'm really sorry, all this school stuff going on right now... the whole quarantine situation doesn't really benefit me much.
Oh yeah, and I'm not going to resume it now. I think I'll do it in may when all school stuff is ofitially over...

So like, is it even possible to market a heroes for hire story in this day and age? It was already kind of a hard sell, but now? Yikes. Wat do?

Okay maybe she's alright

Oh, and, damn, I forgot how it went.
Please, check the Engish, please!

They can really make things look stark and... robust.

A) you aren't what you think you are
B) I love that kind of comic, but not written by you.
1) Good point though, people need to stop thinking everything is a soapbox.

Dare I even ask what stick is up your ass?

No mistakes!

Complain about it after you make the comic and people actually complain about it. Having these invisible future enemies in your head is completely pointless and a waste of time.

What do you mean user? Chloe indeed is an alright girl.

For Gary Astron, Galactic Gourmand I’m going grayscale with just a liiiiittle color for emphasis. I like how it’s looking so far!

I didn't get to answer your old post where you asked "what makes my comic insufferable". It's your basic surface level pandering to """Yas Forums culture""" with the combination of really bad drawings. You come off as someone who really really wants to fit in and make a character everyone wants to jerk off to or some shit. Your biggest fan is yourself and you're so in love with your own creation that you feel the need to spam your shit everywhere. This is your Sonichu except with unfunny Yas Forums memes. I'd suggest working on your drawings, be confident with your lines, and don't rely so hard on internet jokes for brownie points.

Thanks for responding to my question in the other thread bro, appreciate that
I do need to practice drawing and that's why I will keep making these. I do love my creation and I AM my biggest fan indeed. I find this a good attitude to have. Thanks again user, have a good day!

>Q: Colors or B/W for your comics ?
colours, but i'm going to be having some monochrome and black/white pages for certain trippy scenes

chad

so much scifi has stark, bland backgrounds, it's neat that in this future the people are the plain white things. kinda tells you where they stand.

they change anyway. I love this beanie-baby-ass pattern, how do you even do it?

Thank you! I paint some pastels on her and then go over it with a spray paint brush.

Ah, that’s just what I was going for! Space and its inhabitants are so magnificent and whatever. How can we humans compare?

"Chloe" is fine, actually. Simple and to the point.

Good stuff

Still struggling with starting my web comic, I don't know if my backgrounds are good enough, would appreciate feedback!

Your backgrounds are perfectly fine. i cant draw a background to save my life.
You are more than ready. Post links to your stuff if you have any. Or just dump some stuff.

I'm not that good either but I'm still doing my comic because it's fun. We'll get better at art as we go just take criticism so every page is a little better

I'm bored. Post a random page of your comic.

I thought people couldn't see it if I erased part of it.
21 days prior, I made an april fools day comic where I clearly erased the date and changed it to 3/31, forgetting March had a 31st.

Okay, im going to do the full 9 again.
So give me 8 more.
Nightmoose is in.

I was trying to find the most out of context page possible. Chapter 3 had some of my favorite jokes. It was really hard to narrow it down.

It’s kind of amazing how long your comic has gone on in one incarnation or another. You probably amassed a fairly solid reader base over the years, I mean you must have, right?

I.. I have considered coloring it, but changing anything feels like sacrilege.
Or you just mean the gag about lighting cow farts leading to napalm dung shenanigans needs remaking? because that arranged can be

Haha, well.. Um... solidly dedicated, at least! I still get people emailing me about it once in a while.
I'm glad to know when I start up the third version, I'll have people eagerly awaiting it AND you guys to bounce ideas off of. Gonna be a lot less haphazard, slipshod, and janky this time.
also something I realized while rereading is that the original comic was 4 panels every day (sometimes twice a day) for 999 days in a row, and the next one was 8-12ish panels every 3 days... and it always felt like NOT ENOUGH, but now I feel like that's more than enough, and it'd be okay to slow it down a little and work more on quality. 8-12 panels a week is probably fine.

Hiatus over! Comic’s back with chapter 4, and right on schedule, thankfully.

>Colors or B/W for your comics?

A bit of both, somewhat. Promo images are full color, but the comic itself is in monochrome. However, I have specific elements colored (mostly the eyes) for emphasis, kinda like in Sin City. I also I tint the monochrome with a single color that changes gradually as the comic goes on.

I’d say it’s a fair compromise and it helps keeping the comic getting weekly updates (would be impossible it was fully colored).

>it'd be okay to slow it down a little and work more on quality.
Oh man, an ongoing comic with the quality of art like what you’ve been putting on deviantart etc would be sweet.

I try a new brush every new chapter. This one I'll use for sketching now, but I think I'll keep using sanji for lining.

Have Skardtril attempting to smile and Namini commenting.

How can you hate on my perfect tree, next time I'll hear you laughing about my wonderful chapter 3 retarded horse.
