this. I'm glad this thread popped up while I briefly woke up to briefly do work, but now that I have made 12 dollars I'm going back to bed

Where did challenge anon go? I was looking forward to that.

How do you guys feel about magic versus technology in your comics? I'm currently working on a futuristic story, where the main character gets involved in an alien invasion, and has to help one of the aliens protect there homeworld from the enemy, but I want to slowly introduce some magical elements as well, could be ancient artifacts or stuff like wizard or mythical creatures. I'm just worried it might be kind of silly. Need to think up a good reason to introduce stuff like this.

>>93814593
He is probably sleeping, the challenge posts were made kinda late.

For the curious, here is some of the posts about the challenge (if we actually make it). Hope anon comes back.

>>93814674
Does technology running off magic count?

>>93814674
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

>>93814674
Run with magitek. You can introduce magical elements and if you want to keep the story as being on the tech side more than the mystical one, you can find a way for the magic to be actually some really old and lost technology or just something some people managed to learn how to bend in our dimensional plane.

>>93818040
Nice

>>93814889

That sounds like the best idea to go with, Thanks for the suggestion.

>>93814674
I have always enjoyed the conflict. I feel like typically what you get is a mutual super-effective situation, each taking the other totally by surprise and hitting it in a way it doesn't have much of a defense for.. magic has a slight edge in being more versatile and harder to defend against, but then tech has the edge in typically being more organized and adaptable. of course the combination is fantastic, but again, usually they adapt each other differently. a mage might posess a robot in the same way he would a statue, which is way more energy-inefficient than just learning how to pilot it and putting in what it runs on.. whereas you can figure out how to harness a given kind of magical energy with science and put it in a raygun, but you'll have an issue getting more of it

>>93817704
love your lines. stabbed girl definitely has a nicer looking face than half-burned girl, in terms of shapes and proportion. Being burned might play into it, but it didn't flatten her face, right?

>>93818006
Are you still with a mighty need?

>>93814674
Just as long as it doesn't turn into "MAGIC GOOD, TECHNOLOGY BAD" then it's fine with me.

>>93819821
I personally dislike when the conflict between them is too extreme. Kinda like what Harry Potter and the Nasuverse suffer, with "oh we are magic and we don't use technology because magic needs medieval era standards" or similar. Why wouldn't you still go with magic while also developing better tech? Brandon Sanderson makes a nice mix of this in Wax and Wayne actually.

>>93821050
so completely agree. yet at the same time, it's clear why one would stop bothering with the other. We have a natural tendency to become complacent once we have something that works. we leave it in place, even if over time it becomes a black box.

I'm still working on my comic -sketching some pages as of now on paper because I want to try something on style- and asking for a scene would be way too much since I got no real canon, so I was just going to give this guy as a guinea pig for anything you wanted to try. He is blind so you can joke with that.

sure you can.you have to find a reason other than to "git gud" to keep going.

I keep pushing my comic "Kinematic" hard because I've got loved ones with blindness, they need a voice out there and I find that motivates me to keep at it.

so keep it going anon. the dream is there. you just have to find your fuel.

>>93823005
That's really sweet anon. I mean it.

Do you already have the comic published or is in process?

I was digging around old project files today, and I came across this. This is basically my favorite kind of thing to draw, i guess, some sort of action sequence where Rococo is being heroic. Its too bad I can't just draw this part of a comic, I have a lot trouble getting through a build up, or construction a compelling narrative around such things.

>>93822370
Have you started work on your comic?

not at the moment.
I've been crafting the world carefully during 3 years. this story is based out of personal experiences.

in it I want to talk about personal self worth and learning to adapt to an ever changing society in the brink of a robotic revolution.

mainly, I've been developing the characters the most, at this point in time they are well defined and can play on one another to get the story going. I just need to execute the story to get the ball rolling.

All I could ever do was get 1147 pages of writing done.

She is not a robot, but her left hand is a mechanical prosthetic and can get a burst of power from her stored magic in bullet cartridge-like implements.

>>93824223
My mistake. Her eyes at least as certain points were also black, I thought the two meant she was a robot or android.

>>93814740
Currently working on a setting with proper world-building for once, and starting with the principle that any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology. A relatively standard medieval fantasy world, but wizards have developed a way to transmit information along ley lines, which is easier and more cost effective than regular spells. Structures that look like mobile phone masts are being built in towns along ley lines, and especially where the ley lines cross. They're essentially going from the printing press direct to the internet.
Most of the developments like this are coming out of a city filled with wizards and mad inventors, so it's basically an excuse to have fun dropping in anachronistic tech, like motorbikes and smartphones (which are magical devices, powered by the ley lines).

>>93824954
>ley line phone lines
how the fuck did I never think of this. nice.

>>93822577
Nah, just the idea that, the more that are together, the better they can perform. A single one is still capable of God like abilities but get a few together and they could create whole other deminsions and shit

>>93823792
Too bad anon, now you have to write the other 1000

Is a schedule of one page per week good enough if my webcomic is going to be of the gag-a-day kind more than an actual lineal plot? I may not get much time to throw more than that if I don't fuck up in the interview.

>>93818040

Pan's gonna be fucking mad as he's bad as fuck at drawing interresting stuff. I love it!

it's not an ideal situation, but it's something you can probably manage. Sounds like the best compromise

I'm working steadily on my comic and I'm wondering how to go about releasing it.

i'm back with some stuff. I tried to put a mood on this page, using a sequence of establishing shots, but i don't know if it works well. I read a load of slice of life mangas that aren't about "who's best girl?" but some stuff that rely heavily on atmosphere, I kinda dig that kind of stuff. I want to emulate it in some way, but fuck. It's not easy.

>>93827469
simplify the art? I don't know I never saw your art, but if you don't work full time on it, one page a week is pretty hard to do, except if art is exceptional, or if it's a fun thing to come back to. Look at Whomp comic: 3 pages a week because it must take ronnie like 2-3 hours max on a page.

This looks real fine, unless someone has something to say on it I think it's good to start with, choosing a theme and all.

I'm so glad you're still posting!
I understand what you mean, so I think the fourth panel should stretch end-to-end. The fifth panel can then be moved to the third row, and end with Ophelea (that was her name right?) opening the door. This creates some tension you know, start the next page with that reveal.

>>93828217
welp. You're a real help here, man can't thank you enough for all the help you provide!
Gonna save this page and rework mine as soon as i get up tomorrow!

>>93828217

You wouldn't leave the open tin can right beside the cat. It's dangerous.

Dropping yourself on the ed like that, with tits that big should be quite painful for her.

The next frame she's in a completely different position, and it looks like she's about to fall off of it.

When did she lit that cigarette?

ok so let's see how many people are willing to participate on the first challenge, if it works maybe we can make more, if it doesn't we'll leave it here
also suggest some themes and we'll vote!

>>93827685
Lol, guy in last panel looks like Rusty Venture

>>93827792
Let's do it. I'd actually commit to something like this and it seems like a fun exercise.

>>93828461
I think themes should be something really generic and easily interpreted in a number of ways, such as "discovery" or "turnabout" or "concealment"

>>93828461
I'm up for it.

>>93828455
My mom owns a cat. He doesn't play with tins usually, he's pretty stupid. As for the position, cigarette lightning, I didn't want to show everything: ellipses, man. you see fall in the bed, next panel, she's doing something else, you can fill what's happening,no?

>>93828525
I had the same impression when I drew him haha.

>>93828589
Maybe not, in france, we have an event called "les 24 heures de la BD" (24h of comic) Where you have to draw 24 pages in 24h. The themes are really specific, which creates some interresting stuff.
http://www.24hdelabandedessinee.com/spip.php?page=liste&lang=en

>>93828455
Don't mind the Bs about "open tins". Have her sit up on the bed while she lights a cigerette. You don't really need to see the motions of her getting one, but like he said, that cigerette just comes out of nowhere

>>93828317
>>93828317
No problem! And take your time, comics should be a fun thing.

>>93828455
I guess you're right about the tin can, but it helps break up the negative space. I suppose this panel can be replaced with one where she lights a cigarette.
Between panels 3 and 4, I can somewhat forgive omitting a panel depicting her change in position just to keep up with the pacing.
I think to really establish a mood like "It's been a long day" or to make a mood piece, it'd need something like 2 pages. But I think it's okay like this too, there just needs to be careful attention to the middle panel.

>>93828659
perhaps, I'm just thinking about the disparate kinds of comics in here. Plus, creative interpretations of such a vague theme might be part of the challenge

>>93828461
Sign me in.
As for themes, I would say to keep them simple but maybe not too much? Maybe I'm only talking for myself here, but I find that very open themes can cause an ironic effect of not knowing what to do with it.

Maybe something like what >>93828659 suggested.

I suggest some themes, please don't bully I'm trying my best on ideas

>Castaway IN SPACE
>Supervillain and superhero in love
>Aliens on the wild west
>Robot pilots a mecha

>>93828589
>>93828659
we could try both since a vague theme would make really different comics and a really specific one could be different approaches, for this one I'd vote for an specific one
>>93828884
my vote goes for aliens on the wild west!
also it could take a serious or funny approach

>>93828659
With only a 3 page limit though it would be easier if themes were more open ended like >>93828589 suggested

>>93828461
I propose we provide a list of genre's, like 3-5 along with the theme. So say one week, you get to pick a genre from the list and then you have to use the theme of the week in that genre. And the list could change every week. One week could be: SoL, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Noir, Romance. Next time could be completely different list and even include sub-genres and mix-genres

WIP Page 6. Not too happy with the pose. Meant to have one of my friends to help, just not fond of the legs. Haven't done gesture/life drawing sessions in a while so I should refresh myself with that..

Not sure where to put the logo, like across on the bottom or like a square towards the bottom left corner.. Always hated messing with text stuff in comics.

How about we have three themes per challenge, and we roll for the theme? Evens, odds, zero - we'd reply to the challenge post. Or mix it up, with the last two numbers - genre + theme.

As for a themes:
>wound

>>93829267
Rolling seems like a nice quirk to the challenge.

>>93827685
>>93827685
Your getting better , don't give up on useing those point perspective! There making everything look nice and clean. Keep it up

>>93829234
Left arm needs a bit more of work but for that I think it may be enough to just check on the mirror if you have any doubts on it.

As for the logo, try both options and see which one looks better for you.

>>93829234
Left arm as in his left or the one extended?

>>93829222
I think it's funny how when it comes to this activity, we all have a ton of ideas. If only comic making was so easy, am I right?

>>93829267
yesyes, so far we have
>Castaway IN SPACE
>Supervillain and superhero in love
>Aliens on the wild west
>Robot pilots a mecha

>discovery
>tournabout
>concealment

>>93829451
>>93829473

>>93829473
>>93829512

His left one. The extended one looks fine to me, in fact the whole pose looks fine, is only the left arm that is still not too detailed what looks weird, mostly because perspective is a bitch on those angles.

>>93829496
everything it's easier if it's fun! this will help us all

>>93829496
It's the idea guy dilemma all over again!

>>93829531
Ok, it is still rough, but I was just wanting to see how his pose looks in general.

His left is suppose to be fixing his tie.

>>93829496
This challenge system would help us out. It's making a good exercise for us and we don't have to feel bad about being too shitty at it if all of us pitch in. I'm really not too worried about winning these and I just want to focus on having fun

>>93829234
Is this "white guy" the comic? Is there gonna be a joke about his credit? And his powers involve light? what's your opinion on black people and trump?

>>93829717
My lawyer says I don't have to answer these questions.

>2 perspectives
Oof, but the pose looks good! Makes sense. Only part that really concerns me is the fact that he seems to be looking forward, but his arm is kind of aimed upwards. So it makes me think that the person he's shaking hands with is probably some muscle-grunt, but the real fear is what's behind him.

Question guys, how do you keep a reader invested in your comic? I saw a thread discussing comics nose diving and it got me thinking.

>>93829931
>how do you keep a reader invested in your comic?

You have to offer an interesting premise that is followed by a storytelling and pacing that makes the reader actually wanting to check the next page, care for your characters' problems and the world of the comic.

There is no real written formula for this desu, or at least not one I can think of. Is just a matter of baiting the audience with each page.

>>93829497
I'm officially tripcoding for anything challenge related. Here's some more themes:

>Extrademionsional
>Alien Romance
>Conspiracy
>Revenge
>Trapped on an alien planet
>Duality
>Battle for Earth

I could go on for too long, so I'll leave it at that for now

how about we tone down the themes to
>wound
>discovery
>castaway in space
as
>>93829267 said and we just roll the number
although I like >>93829222 idea
you have to choose one genre so it could be
>sci-fi
>romance
>noir

>>93830056
I think this is fine

>>93827792
It's cute that you think anyone will actually do this. I know people were interested in the idea but most people that could actually get 3 pages a week done already do their own work or are dewd.

>>93829996
this. it's not just handing them out candy, you have to promise more candy later, maybe a different flavor of the same kind. or the promise of a mystery flavor and they're going to have to guess what it is

>>93830085
This is the NEVER GIVE UP Edition, we can try at least

>>93830085
I bet exactly 2 people do it.
Still, realistic or not, it's a great idea and ol' challenspace deserves some props. like maybe a prop from a movie.

>Or mix it up, with the last two numbers - genre + theme.
1st digit could choose the genre, 2nd would choose the theme.

Looks like it's shaping up though and I'm really excited to do this either way.

He's suppose to be leaning forward some, so not standing up straight, showing some insecurity.

I'll shrink his hand and arm some so it's more forward. Knew it looked a bit high, but felt it would help the composition some.

Well I did say I would get into doing my webcomic and so far I did a very rough sketch for the first page! Is more progress into actual webcomic work than what I have had in the last weeks.

Setting is about anthropomorphic personifications having their concepts as jobs, with the Life anthro being a bitter salaryman who is disappointed with her job. The idea is to have the comic be mostly stand alone gags for now and I want to leave Life's character well established right in the very first page so I hope this does the job. Sorry for the potato quality.

>>93833517
I fucking love her face.
is there a personification of work? i bet his job sucks

>>93833638
Oh hey thanks!
CARLOS!
Actually I'm still working on creating more personifications to fill the workplace, never really thought of making one for Work actually. Damit now I have to make it real. Would probably wonder where his job really begins and ends, like in a mid-life crisis.

>>93833517
Nice. I like her face and emotions. Seems like you're going for traditional hand drawing? You could trace over this. It would help clean up your lines and you should use a ruler for paneling.

Also, gramatical error I notice in your 2nd panel.
>You will be surrounded by jerks and will destroy-
should work better as
>You will be surrounded by jerks who will destroy-

Keep it up! GANBATE!

>>93834008
unless you're the one that will be destroying..

>>93834015
true... I do tend to destroy my own life quite often.
In that instance, it should be, "and you'll destroy"

>>93834040
technically it's correct grammatically, but yes it would be weird to combine both "You wills" when one of the wills is a will-be

Thanks! I may actually go for digital for this, because silly me forgot the scanner I have doesn't work anymore and my camera is from a phone potato. Still I feel a bit more comfortable working first on paper which is why I usually do most of the sketch work as this.

Yeah I messed up there, I think what would fit better for what she says there is the "You will be surrounded by jerks who will destroy-" bit. Sure we are all self-destructive but she is mostly just throwing shit from third parties to the poor baby.

Looking forward to this and I love that you've actually put effort into this. Just my 2 cents: Drop the voting part or at least don't make it official and part of the image. It'll likely create unnecessary drama and animosity even if it starts off as a light hearted challenge. Also let anons participate as well if they like, no commitment, just everyone who has some time on their hands and wants to join in on the challenge can do it and post their results.

I was in a webcomic thread in march and did a practice page of a character's home (sorta, the front door anyways). Redid it tonight to see if I had any progress... I think my understanding of perspective is better but it lost what little style I had lmao.

Thanks, anon. Finding proper fonts was pretty diffcult though. I have absolutely zero clue when it comes to typography.

>>93835164
I would only say that the his newer pic looks a bit more rigid than the older one. It does a lot of things better, but for example the older one had the door feel more "alive" with not-so-straight lines giving it shape, while the newer one is so straight it looks a bit mechanically made. But that is something that can be fixed easily I think, other than that the newer one is a really big improvement and only in almost 2 months.

Who cares man. We live in a world where all that matters are the results. I can have an idea for a rocket powered scooter but until I build it that means nothing

>muh idea guy
fuck off with this meme, sometimes it takes other people longer to finish something. it took GRRM almost a decade to finish the first drafts for his book

>>93839848
To be fair, usually if you work on something to make it a reality you're no longer an ideas guy.

>>93839194
were's the proof it was his ideal?

or are you the only one with tangible evidence?

don't let him fuck you with your ideal bro

they want to bring you down not raise you up

>>93839194

"Ideas guys" are a fucking joke.

Pay him no mind.

>>93840297
Not true.

Ideas guys who come up with an idea and do nothing are jokes. Ideas guys who work along the process of actually getting it created are fine.

>>93835424
Yeah I was pushing myself to see how quickly I could get a perspective scene piece out, so I think that has to do with it- left things out like the lip on the table and some of the hanging plants.
I bet if I went over it again and used less straight lines it would have a closer feel to the first one. Thanks!

>>93839848
Stop excusing yourself and finish Winds of Winter already George

>>93840426
Are you just doing this for practice? Because the panel was already great the first time

>>93840346
>Ideas guys who work along the process of actually getting it created are fine.
Then they aren't idea guys, they'd be artists and writers

>>93839194
Idea guy's fault for not working on it first.

Besides ideas are not unique anymore, you two can have the same idea but execute it completely different. If you really came up with your stuff yourself then tell him to fuck off

>>93839848
>Using GRRM as an example
>And a good example to top

Artists/writers that never update their stuff are just as bad as eternal idea guys

>>93840629
Not necessarily. They could hire an artist and writer to make their dream a reality. They'd still be the ideas guy but they're taking an active attempt to have it come real.

>>93840733
he already made it, he doesn't need to finish it. he can leave it in limbo like HL3 and his work will still remain a classic ingrained in cultural history.

none of you will here will ever come close to what he's done

>>93840600
Yes, practice. I don't feel like I have interesting enough panels or good background experience to begin the comic.
The perspective was eyeballed and I didn't use guides in the first version. Second version I have a little better understanding after doing some practice with other work and commissions.

>>93840768
>Implying everyone thinks of the books
If anything GRRM hates that his legacy is remembered as that D&D fanfiction.
Besides he is missing 2 books, not just Winds.

This. We live in an age where information and ideas can be freely shared and easily accessible. Our thoughts are open and out for the whole world to see and are constantly being influenced and reinforced by others.

alright, I think I got the outline done for my 3 page space casteaway slice of life.

On a side note, is it very cheap to have the setting be an alien planet jungle island? Which makes them almost regular castaways I suppose, other than the fact they crash landed with a space ship.

>>93844221
as long as what you do fits into the "castaway in space" theme it is fine, the idea is to also exercise the creativity and see what kind of stories get done. Go for it!

Hey I've been releasing a comic for free on my blog, feedback appreciated! any ideas for marketing/reaching a wide audience appreciated as well link is www narwhalpress.wordpress.com

>>93844592
Art's cool.
Title's generic and reminds me of the videogame.
Reaching wide audience is the most difficult thing to do, I would recommend have a constant schedule and dont break it and with time you will build your audience hopefully.

fuck you guys, if any of you want to really make it come to /ic/, unless you're a PUSSY

>>93844711

I don't think /ic/ cares about stories and writing.

>>93830952
Seems fun, ill try to make something

>>93844221
Seems like it'd ruin the whole purpose of being marooned in SPACE. plus part of what makes castaways interesting is the struggle for resources, if you have an entire planet at your disposal..

>>93845031
I dunno, when I read that topic, I immediately thought it means someone who crash landed with a spaceship on some alien planet. What other ways of being castaway in space are there? Drifting outside in literal nothingness like in Gravity? That could be a cool theme if one of the genre choices had been horror but I don't see it working for a 3 page romance or slice of life.

>>93844711

Are those new ideas you come up with so different that some editing and art changes is not enough to conform to your standards? At some point I think its better to try and go for it.

Anybody have a cringe collection of their old works? Nowadays I thought better of it, but for a long time I was embarrassed with my old works

unemployment due to technology, and living with a disability are very delicate subjects that I need to tend with care.

I want Kinematic to be able to successfully hold a consistent thematic narrative. the theme is to "learning to adapt to unexpected outcomes in life" my goal is to present this story in a visually friendly manner that respects the reader.

I want this to be a relatable experience. to get readers to feel like they aren't alone in their daily struggle.

I believe that if I want to execute this properly i cant just willy nilly go with it and see if things stick.

I want characters to act and react to one another naturally so I spend most of my time studying people to get it right.

>>93844711
you think way too highly of /ic/, while there are the obvious standouts the average level there is the same as here

>>93847164
grats, luce. It's worse when you have a long-term commission and feeling weird block on both it AND your comic

>>93847170
I can still see something good in everything I made back then, if nothing else just the creativity. Getting better also locks down some of your ability to think freely. I used to be able to make ANYTHING covered in armor, be it plate, exoskeleton, scutes, or powered.. but now I think too hard about how joints work and I just can't

>>93847605
>unemployment due to technology
Just make sure you point out the ludicrously low price of automated-produced goods and how the unemployed can still afford those, making it not so bad.. but other things that aren't made by machines, like... fucking.. a house.. are still out of peoples' reach.

Its an unfortunate fact about the more you learn about your craft. Although the more you draws, the more you kind of get set in your ways. Sometimes people just gets less flexible as they grew older.

>>93847605
Well, those are not bad themes, I can see interesting story coming from them. Although I get the feeling you are thinking too much about making this, in the sense that you are making it your megna carta. I don't think you are doing this in a professional capacity so I thought its better to just have fun, and showing comic off to other people and talking about it. It doesn't have to have one definitive version right off the bat, is what I thought.

Well, so long as you can see the horizon for this project and set deadline for yourself. I am trying to do that as well, so lets all do our best.

>>93848165
Sometimes, just for fun, I will go back to my old stuff, and pick out something really old, and just redraw them, and see if I like it. Sometimes I will add them to whatever I was working on currently, or maybe spinning off to a different story ideas. If nothing else, its just fun things to do when you are kind of drawing a blank sometimes.

Needless to say there has been a LOT of work put into ghost puncher since the last time I posted here

Every boxer has now been designed and created into fully fleshed characters, I've got some people on the team helping with coverart and designs
The story is being written out properly and story boarded as well
My silly idea that came from my fear of sleep paralysis is actually turning into a real thing.
And can I say the fanart I've received is absolutely heartwarming, and chapter 1 isn't even out yet.

I'll be posting some screenshots from tumblr about basic stuff to know if you're interested, and by all means follow me on twitter or tumblr to keep up

QUICK,

WHAT TYPES OF PREJUDICES OR VICES DO YOUR CHARACTERS HAVE?

>>93850827
>One slowly becomes an alcoholic and loses his faith in his Gods
>One is too naive and believes everyone can be saved despite clearly being beyond saving
>One is a hothead who clearly has no idea how bad the situation really is
>One literally wants to kill every single magic user/being in existence because he hates the Gods
>One has tunnel vision the entire series
>One thinks he's more important than he actually is and eventually gets killed because of it.

The only thing I have is that the mc can't resist Ice cream

>>93850827
For my SOON webcomic
>MC is mostly apathetic to anything, coming out mostly as misanthropic. No patience for anything and is adamant on keeping her cynic ways instead of trying to cheer up again.
>"Second" MC is a sadist who enjoys way too much his death-bringer job, and may actually do near-fatal incidents on people whose time has not come yet just for shits and giggles.
>Their boss is a bureaucrat to heart. Really cold over personal issues because it gets in the way of the job. He also doesn't share important information because "you don't really need to know".

For my story at "idea guy" stage
>MC is a seigi no mikata, which comes with much of the flaws the archetype has (will try to help others even if it ends with her in trouble, doesn't want to kill even if the enemy is a piece of shit with no redemption, unable to really understand somebody else's suicidal survivor guilt because "hey you are alive so you should be ok", etc.)
>Co-MC hides information that he thinks may give away who he really is, which makes others not trust him much. Him being a robot doesn't help on the trust issue neither.
>Mission control trusts people way too easily, which leads to some informations leaks on a few ocassions.
>Squad leader doesn't think highly of people who get cybernetic enhancements when they really don't need them. He is also prejudiced against robots.
>First arc villain hates anybody who acts as a patriotic extremist, and has a very deep hate of 2 countries that exist in the setting. Like the squad leader of the good guys, he doesn't think well of people who go the cyborg path for aesthetics neither.

One is a sleazy middle-aged woman. Drinks a lot. Also she tends to do risky stuff because she has a high defense stat. She sometimes puts her normal def niece and nephew in trouble because of it.
One has a tendency to hoard loot(especially shiny stuff) from dungeons. She also thinks her high attack stat can handle anything.
One has a penchant for RARE items. Willing to do slightly risky things. Even for rare garbage.

Ooh ooh, uh, one's a tiny bit of a lame-o dork from royal upbringing, several of them are slightly brash or brickbrained in a way that makes them dismiss things too easily .. or too optimistic to take bad things seriously, and one is straight up obsessed with gold and has no patience or consideration. those.. are pretty lame vices.

but man, in the old days.. drunken lech, guy with a massive stick up his ass, scatterbrained floozy, smarmy knowitall slightlyopath kid, slightly bitchy brat, rude princess's sister who is also a princess, fruity recovering villain, bird with no manners.. they had it all. Iunno why I stopped writing more interesting people like that (except as side characters. though even in the old days those were more interesting). Definitely keeping that in mind for next time. Flawed people are way more fun to read

Hero is a coward who will run away from danger if he can get away with it.
Heroine 1 is a slut straw feminist, saying she uses her genre as a powerful tool to manipulate men when the truth is that she just loves sex and hates fellow women because they are competition.
Heroine 2 is extremely shy and blames herself for anything bad that happens.
Villain is literally a nazi. And a smoker.

Thanks dudes I'm glad you think it looks good.

Do pan's videos actually have animation? I've seen some of his older reviews and I've seen his character but I've never seen his character in any video for more than a second or two. The animation method and general structure I'm doing is far more inspired by ZTV.

Also I'm just working on boring resources now so here's a bunch of hands I've pre made for Dupe's model. How exciting.

>>93850827
>Dupe is addicted to nostalgia, junk food and is pretty self centered and anemic.
>Hyla hates all machines and will put people in danger in order to appear heroic or cool.
>CIN is self righteous and believes he alone has everyone and everything figured out. Probably because he watched too many martial arts movies.
>Trype is incredibly self centered and egotistical.
>Tobie Jr was purchased under the assumption that she was an advanced medical robot. But in reality she was just used in a children's ward to dispense suckers. Useless.

>>93857202
>Early pages
>Concept art
>Patreon exclusive art pieces/information about characters, settings, events
>High level patrons can have some minor effect on the comic (designing a character, naming something, having their name mentioned somewhere)

I'm sure that last one could get major flack if implemented poorly but it could definitely work with the right execution.

>>93857151
Your comic has a nice hazy color palette and I like how that machine is drawn. It's nice to see someone who understands line weight. Your posing however looks very stiff and lacks motion. Also trying to simplify faces while keeping realism and proportion will always look weird, their faces look kind of like characters from "King of the hill".

>>93856925
The simplification and minimalism here is great. My only gripe is that the perfectly square panels on a plain white background feels very incomplete. Other than that it looks nice.

>>93858649
>Concept art
>Patreon exclusive art pieces/information about characters, settings, events
Fuck. I've always taken issue with making people pay for stuff like this.

I was hoping there were things that wouldn't feel like I'm keeping content behind a paywall. Figured I'm just bad at thinking outside the box.

I mean I can offer an inside look into my WIPs and process, but I bet that stuff would be boring.

I could offer doodle/sketch requests but then what if I end up with more patrons than expected and can't keep up with it all?

>>93859076
Theres nothing wrong with people paying to see extra content at all imo. You're already providing your comic as a free source of entertainment so if they want some bonus stuff then paying seems just. Its like buying an artbook or documemtary for a game you play for free. Also maybe patrons could vote on the drawing they want out of some given choices so it's not blocked off to everyone when finished but only patrons have control over what it is.

The standard is usually early access to pages from your comic, mostly one week before you publish it (this part depends more on your schedule)

Wallpapers and pin-ups seem to do well too. Also VIP livestreams and special requests for higher ranks.

I would recomend checking the patrono of other webcomic artists to see which kind of rewards they give so you can get a better idea of what to do.

>>93859774

I don't even know how my autocorrect works anymore. It should say patreon there, not patrono.

>>93859774
Are wallpapers and pin-ups really popular? That's surprising. What are the most common resolutions to use for stuff like that?

And what constitutes a "pin-up"?

>>93859885
Not sure I can answer about thr resolutions, but those two are thing that I see on patreons like Mary Cagle's and the like. They are low patreon rewards though, the better average are the access to livestreams.

Pin-ups are just big drawings related to a character or your comic that are big enough to be printed as a poster. I think. I saw that days ago but I'm phoneposting so maybe I'm mixing things.

>>93856925
Sexy granny, what are those things on her legs and chest? Tattoos or part of her attire?

>>93859885
For wallpapers, I guess the common sizes would be typical monitor resolutions; eg 1920X1080 (16:9) or 1280X800 (16:10).

As long as the image is sufficiently large and along those proportions (you wouldn't offer 525X476 as a wallpaper size) that should be okay.

What do you think about this webcomic idea:
A bunch of animals participate in a trial (culminating in a battle royale event) to become the familiar of a powerful witch. The chapters will be intertwined with flashbacks, exploring the backstories and motivations of each combatant.

.......sigh.......I'm outa here

>>93846106
This is becoming more like tsugumomo with every new bit.
Now you just need to add some headstrong lolis and it will be perfect.

>>93858649
If you can call them animation. Pan's just animating like 3 or 4 frames of his character talking in that car and call it a day. And the dude says he want to develop an animated series...

>>93861705
Sounds pretty cool. Not sure if you've already thought of this, but the thing about Battle Royale that really gets you invested is that most of the characters got thrown into a horrible scenario they didn't actually want to be in. If all the animals are in it voluntarely, then you're missing out on some of the most intriguing character struggle of these types of stories.

>>93856447
It's okay, it can get pretty active, but in terms of webcomic content it's just about the same as here.

imo, giving critique on other people's pages or content helps more than getting it sometimes, since it involves you analyzing critically. why some things work and others don't, the importance of pacing, what looks good and what looks better.
