Sadly -or fortunately- I'm too aware of my own skill level so I don't think I will ever disgrace anybody's eyes drawing any ugly porn. Hell if I ever reach the part of my main characters starting a relationship it may remain a situation like pic related.

To autistic shark guy,
I will see what I can do about making him more anatomy accurate.
I'm still struggling to write one funny thing a day, which I think may be more important.

>>94285213
Looking really cool so far!

>>94285255
If I remember correctly, there was one of those one-time deal things that people exploited, like getting one of those 1$ chinese mouse pads that required you to things in a real particular way to legally obtain it for free.

>>94285348
Really it's just the gills moving forward, you could consider them 'cheeks' when you plan out his face. everything else is fine and actually better than fine given how cartoons usually draw sharks.

>>94285213
Fake grays!
These are not true grays.
Screentones or bust!

>>94285367
At least I remember it was just cracking some folders and that is. That's why some people had problems with SAI working like shit or something. The one deal with the price I have seen most is with CSP, costing 25$.

what do you prioritize most in your style?
I've seen most people here work on making thir anatomy construction show, but what would you say it's your strong point?
>anatomy
>composition
>color
>rendering
>gesture
>design

>>94285577
My anatomy is not the best but I make my best try to make it as accurate as possible, or at least for it to not look uncanny. I think I'm good enough at design.

I have been trying to make better gestures so my characters don't look like ":U" dolls nor anything like that, and seems people like the funny faces I do so I guess I'm good on it? Composition if only I wasn't so lazy to do background.

Not sure what rendering means here. Color I may be good at color theory but I'm shit at coloring itself.

Would it be a bad move to write 99% of the story as the main character(s) retelling their story?

>>94285839
It's been done in a lot of other forms of media. Plus you can switch from dialogue/character-driven to narrator-driven without it being jarring.

>>94285889
It just concerned me that it'd come out as an easy cop-out or too cliche. Plus it kinda gives the main characters plot armor from anything bad that might happen to them.

>>94285394
Liek so?

>>94285980
Nice. Now it looks like someone scanned some pro work.

>>94285958
You can always have characters in the story who only show up in the story that the main characters are telling, there's still room to build tension and create drama even though it's only a story being told.

>>94285980
It looks great. Is that a simulated effect or did you use a brush for it?

>>94284023
Does anyone want to write something for me to draw? Shittily, if I may add.

>>94286085
It's a screentone brush. I got a few, but I think this one looks the best.

>>94285980
Honestly I like thlee grey version better, the screetones make the whole think look rather foggy. There's no real reason to use screentones unless you're planning to print it cheaply, or want to do all-out manga emulation.

>>94285577
My strength is also my weakness, and it's inconsistentcy. Since I have no defined style and neither a fear to change I let myself experiment.

>>94286393
agree, but it does make it look more authentic

>>94286677
Authentic only if you're going for a very certain aesthetic. is there any reason to pursue that aesthetic?

>>94287021
well that other anon liked it, so... probably?
I know i sometimes like things that look authentically like they were done in real ink pen. Never been a big fan of screentones though

>>94287321
Left. The large arc in the line of action just seems better for the reaction from the character.

Although the little impact lines on the right add a nice effect, so por que no los dos?

>>94287321
1st one is a really big fucking hit, second is more of a subtle bit of emphasis.. however the second one has impact lines that the first doesn't. Depends just how much of a smak you want this to be

QUICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't post anything. Just work on your craft and improve.

>>94287695
sometimes you need a second pair of eyes to improve. Others can see tiny stuff that you might have missed.

>>94287666
great followthrough, there are just a few things about your initial aim that are slightly off.. kinda low heads (only slightly) and the eyes arent always super even. Overall though I love this. I love their hairstyles so much. It reminds me of the wolvering anime. Like that's how they might draw a grown-up X-23
needs bigger letters though

>>94287666
I can't understand who's talking in the second to last panel but I think you would benefit your coloring with a harder brush because that airbrush makes everything look messy and dirty, is that a spirit coming out of him?

>>94287666
I'm confused by the last 3 panels, but I'm curious to see more. Also guys with sideburns are my weakness.

>>94287935
I see what you mean, I'll fix up the bodies. I'll also going to play around with some font packs I downloaded as well.

>>94287968
Gotcha, I'll lay off on using the airbrush too much and save it for minor highlights/shadows. That is a spirit in the last three panels trying to warn the protag of the police while protag is trying to score. Its sort of a stand-like being but its more autonomous and can act alone in some situations. There's several in the story and each works with a person that they like but in some situations they turn on their master. I'm still trying to nerf their abilities since too many people with them would turn into a boring power-level fest.

>>94287987
those last three are a little confusing since they lead into the next page where the police question protag about some crimes. I tried to work them entering the bar in the background but like >>94287968 mentioned my airbrush work made it look messy.

I am surprised that my comic is growing this year. My art has a weird style to it because I use it to fiddle around with gimp and Photoshop. I am much happier with it.

I know it was just a simple mistake, one I would probably make a year or two ago, but it's funny how the background seems to be rising up behind him, and then in the next page we're actually looking at it overhead next to him. Like the ground just lifted up into the sky without him

>>94284353
Dude has been drawing for 14 years and his art still looks like that of a 14 year old's what's not to mock?
I take more offense with his insistence on giving shitty "criticism" and "advice" to other artists, i.e. rambling at them like an autist and telling them to change everything until they fit his tastes.

>>94292762
Huh, that's the first time I've heard that in the negative... but unlike a lotta things, I'm gonna own right the fuck up to that. It's literally exactly what I'm aiming for.
As time goes on, I'm sadly drifting away from that, and I miss the hell out of it.

i don't have a name for my comic and i'm thinking of naming it something dumb and catchy so i can snag a domain thats easy to remember even if it has nothing to do with the comic itself

bad idea? i might do several comics on the site if that justifies it at all

>>94293020
Cyanide & Happiness had the explosm.net domain and the comics are pretty much random stuff.

As long as it's catchy and you like it I guess it is fine. A weird first choice, but not unviable.

>>94292917
I've been here for a while aand haven't seen him once rant about anyone's work rather a bunch autists telling him to change everything until it fits their tastes, you get me?

>>94293338
Thanks for the (You), anon.
I try to imply there is a lot more going on than there seems to be at first glance. The quotation marks are there for a reason, not all of the dialogue is verbal and some characters don't speak conventionally.

>>94293576
Well, when a person is reading a book or it might even be narration, it makes a little more sense, but.. I'm having trouble imagining what the reasons for quotes to be actually in a bubble would be. If it'll be revealed later, I'll be patient.
For now though, I feel like some of this could use tightening up. There's a lot of subtle little crummy bits that would work a lot better if they had better geometry. That's part of what makes even 'toon' drawings good.

>vacation period always feels like I have less time for my projects than when I'm at school

>school will be replaced by a job anytime soon and will still not have as much time as I would like for my own doings

/blog/ but I really would like to be like those hacks that place almost no effort on their comics yet don't have to worry about salaryman stuff.

>>94294581
Why would your vacation mean you had less time?
Anyway, work part-time or work remotely. It's the only acceptable life choice.
now let's get down to what the fuck that picture is from and means. she's a pokemon-a and likes to suck the beak?

>>94294667
>Why would your vacation mean you had less time?

Because I still live with my parents and vacation time also means my dad gets vacations so we have to go around doing family quality time, also double house chores. Is mostly me not being able to schedule my free time and school being used mostly for my actual projects since had not much to do.

As for the pic I only chose it for the face but as for the meanings, yes, "pico" means "beak" yes but in southamerican countries it is slang for penis, which is why there the whole Boku no Pico franchise gets even more mockery than normal, all the guys' names are some spanish slang for the male sexual organs. It's almost as if it was done on purpose by the nips. I think the source is some sort of show of the "real people real problems" and shit like that.

>>94294753
>family shit
Oh fuck that noise. you're a man now, you have education and shit. they can eat your ass with their double chores.
oh man, that makes those old flash games/toons hilarious. the ones with the kid named Pico. Also, that one fakey kid computer drawing toy
considering the intentional espanol in bleach, I wouldn't put it past anyone.. but uh.. yeah I got from context that it was a talk show. The question at this point is... Pokemona? Even if that is how you make it feminine, which you don't do, is it saying she IS one, or has a problem with it?

Do animatics go here? I feel like it's kind of the same thing.

>>94294793
>Oh fuck that noise. you're a man now, you have education and shit. they can eat your ass with their double chores..

I'm a spic and here the rule is either get a job or help a lot with the house. Is a huge motivator to actually get employed but so far not many interviews calling back.

As for the pokemona bit, well, talk shows don't really do research. The text there does imply that it's saying she IS one though, but that's as far as I know, the whole thing reads like a weird edit but that's how I found it. And knowing the quality of the talk shows around here it can be legit, and still gives a laugh.

>>94294826
I think there has been some acepted discussion about some animatics.

I understand the confusion. I admit I dug myself into a little bit of a hole with how I initially wanted to execute some of the stranger concepts of the story, but I'm too far in to change it. It'll all make sense as the story goes on.
As for the art, I agree with you; it's is not as good as I want it to be. When I started I could hardly draw anything at all, but I didn't want to wait for ten years of practice to tell a story that had already been in my head for a long time. Again, I appreciate the reply, criticism is lifeblood.

>>94295892
I know, but little bump can help keep it alive.

would it be a good idea to make a long colored comic and a short running black and white comic

>>94296124
that is too vague to answer

>>94296124


like I'm doing a colored comic that has I'm pretty sure a while till I'm done with it. usually it takes 3 days to make a full page. in between that time or so, I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to make a short black and white comic while I do the main comic

>>94296136
>>94296163

meant to reply to you

>>94296163
I don't see why not. There's no reason not to unless you think you'd burn out after long enough or you don't have the time for it, but if neither of those are a problem you're good to go.

I made and printed a template to draw on, I I'm going to make some more and experiment with them.

Had a 2 page release this week.

>>94287321
I like the second one more. The sfx arrangement of the first one would be more suitable for a 'whoosh' or something describing the sound of the swing, rather than the impact.

>>94296124
Thinking of production, I'd do the opposite. For a long term comic you're probably trying to get people invested in a story and characters, so black and white will be better here since you'll get more pages done (I assume) meaning, more characters/plot progression.
If the comic is short, then colour can be a nice addition to something that won't take you too long to complete. There's a lot to consider but it's up to what you think you can do.

You might not like using them, but they really seem to help. >>94285980 This looks far more aesthetically pleasing than the last one, and if you have the skill to properly use them, as it seems you do, than there's no reason not to indulge in them. This panel looks like it pops out more than the other. It doesn't look flat. The stonework in the background has a gradient grey tone to it that is should have irl. Not only that but your character really stands out better as well.

>>94298141
Seems to be mostly a matter of taste. I personally find webcomic artists using screentone to emulate manga quite cringy and it often ends up making the panels look dirty and unnecessarily noisy.

>>94297651
that's a big bug

>>94292943
Do your girl characters wear tampons, pads or do they freebleed?

I've only ever seen people showing him ways to improve communication/vary up his art or telling him to listen to the advice he's been given/shut up. Meanwhile he posts as anon and either tells people his personal likes and dislikes --shit like vague compliments or "That name/this character's skin tone sucks, change it" -- instead of giving actual criticism or responds to criticism in the thread that could apply to his comic and tries to dismiss it offhandedly.

>>94299296

Now that I'm using them, I'm gonna figure out screentones. Also, figure out this pose. It feels off and I can't get it right.

>>94302360
I feel the right hand grip is not strong enough, I'm not sure, sometimes people just make awkward poses.

>>94302360
I guess is because the pose doesn't look like she is holding her weapon fit force, but then again if my weapon just broke like that I would probably hold it like that in shock.

shoulder may be to high up or contracted, the pose feel stiff indeed, maybe put more dropped shoulders, and a longer neck, maybe.

I don't know how to explain, so here's how I'd do it. I may not be the best artist around, but I really tried, here.

>>94302736
Consider adding more elements that say "robot." Right now it looks like an organic creature wearing a forget with shoulderguards, a helmet and shoes.

Sharp angles, especially for the legs from the knee down and the forearms, triangles and rectangles in the geometry, a sharper helmet, more layered segments for things like the lower body akin to the gorget, and the emulation of the look and feel of appliances can all help your character look more like an android without compromising the base design.

>>94296071
yeah dude I hear that, it's better to just go ahead and get your practice in a trial by fire. Keep posting it and I'll keep up on it. In the meantime I suggest making your characters out of regular shapes in the sketch phase, it'll be easier to make sure no body parts are too deformed

We were purposively going for a softer, squishier look for the character.

>>94303223
Like I said, you don't have to undermine or radically alter the design itself. There's many different ways to convey that a character is robotic.

Legit question!
There was a Very Special Episode where Riven has her first period and Mizu goes to buy her some tampons, so it's safe to assume that's what she uses. there was a brief but amusing running gag where she didn't want her brother knowing about it. Then later during a timeskip, Riv invents the menstrual cup. because inventor and haha fantasy setting anachronism.
half-fairies I think don't menstruate, or at least don't have to, so Robin is fine. shapeshifting and all that.
Sasha and Hel give zero fucks, being more animal than human, but they also have a pretty light flow for the same reason.
>>94299994
I still can't believe people think I was that one bitching about the skin tones. I was defending that time. If it's the one I'm thinking of.

This is already hugely improved over the last time you posted her. I like the name too.
>>94303223

What if she had little blinking lights underneath, as if her outer skin is slightly translucent? They'd be like freckles

>>94303375
...yeah?

I think you're confusing "these are several things that CAN help" with "you need to do everything I listed." I only suggested some sharper points as one of many possibilities, not a necessity, and even then only at the end of appendages.

Heck, Eve was what I was thinking of when I suggested you could make it look like an appliance.

>>94303515
I was kind of just complementing your post, not antagonising it. Sorry if it came out like that.

>>94303414
That's not a bad idea, but I personally think it needs something to balance the lower body better. The Mega Man X/Samus chassis makes the lower body feel bare.

I like it mostly, although I would change the chest, like give her an item of clothing something along the lines of a (robot) training bra. Are the orange things supposed to be boob plates? Or parts of beetle wings (which could be cool). If they're beetle wings, skip what I say about the training bra, if they're boob plates, I don't like the idea of such a large gap between them.

Man I'm a gal and even I think the way you just described the menstruation of your characters is kinda gross, I mean, menstrual cup? Really?. Besides is not fun to have tons of blood (feat. horrible amounts of pain depending of them woman) coming out of you and having to worry about making a mess of your panties or, in your girls case, the whole damn place. I own dogs too and I will tell you even the females' light flow can be messy.

>>94304723
Of course you did. For entirely different reasons

>>94304740
holy shit, female perspective. teach me stuff.
What way did I describe it exactly?
>menstrual cup? really?
It's.. like, the best product. There's a natural gum rubber kind and a silicone kind. No issue of toxic shock
>is not fun
yeah that's kind of the idea. y'know, one of life's little foibles showing up.
>The whole damn place
.. no?
>dogs
yeah I had an unspayed dog too, we had to put diapers on her. Really the fact that she shat in them was the major problem. That was.. just not a good place to have a dog, we couldn't give her enough outside time.

>>94304740
>Besides is not fun to have tons of blood (feat. horrible amounts of pain depending of them woman) coming out of you and having to worry about making a mess of your panties
Coldfusion's characters don't wear panties because they're unhygienic, because apparently cotton doesn't exist, they either wear fundoshi (which is a men's garment but whatever) or nothing. Looks like coldfusion wins this round!!!

mmkay. Still stand by that though. gotta let that shit breathe
this might be shocking, but not every character represents everything the author believes in, all the time. Hel really shouldn't be wearing such tight pants, they just kinda look good on her. Matches her sportyish attitude

>>94304462
It's because of you.

You think you're helping, being positive even, but you're actually creepy. It doesn't look like positivity. It looks like a grown man who's thought extensively on girls sexual parts. The question was bait and you took it so readily because you want to talk about something you're obsessed with.

Guys who are pervs are easy to deal with, guys who are pervs but pretend to be socially progressive are insidious people that often use their status as an 'ally' to get close to women, but they're often unstable so they eventually turn on them.

I wait for the day that your name comes across a news ticker because you finally started rummaging in trashcans and broke into bedrooms to steal underwear to smell. Or even worst you actually harm someone.

Because that's what you sound like.

>[Menstrual cup] It's.. like, the best product.

No. Just no. Anyway it all depends of the woman in question but inserting shit inside your sexual organ is just too squicky in general, even more so if it is to collect blood, since menstrual blood comes with tissue from your uterus, is not just blood.

Hell why your posts makes me think of the stupid idea Venezuela had about "returning to our grandma's times!" of using actual re-washable clothes instead of pads? Nightmare material right there.

>>94304816
You're giving the real /hyw/ discord a lot of good cringe stuff to laugh at. Keep going.

>>94304995

your grandmas were right. Generally are about everything.
and anyway, you stick a tampon up inside you. It then just holds the shit up against you after absorbing it. you're going to tell me that's worse than a soft rubber cup?

i mean better. you're going to tell me that's better?

Well good to know because she said pads were a blessing and no way she would want the old way back.

Also tampons are not popular here in my country exactly for that same reason, it's barely marketable and doesn't sell much even, don't talk shit like that dude.

Or he could have not responded at all, how autistic do you have to be to respond to a someone asking if your characters wear tampons, much less call it a "legit question"?

That's the thing with pedophiles, they always get caught because they want to share what they have

>>94304462
Why can't you just leave women's health to women? Why haven't you realized most girls of all ages (and people in general) find it creepy and uncomfortable when a grown-ass man tries to educate them on their vagoos? When you know about as much about periods as you do about art, you're not going to help anyone besides yourself when getting off.

>>94305180
I think you're under the mistaken assumption that I'm ashamed of it (also it's not just that one gag) and/or that I'm a liar.

if you ask a legit question, it doesn't matter if you intended it as bait (which I was pretty aware of). it remains legit. And if you don't like the result, blame the one that brought it up. I'm not so autistic as to have attempted to bring it up myself.

Where do you guys draw your inspiration from? A particular series or two? Authors? Music?

Mine comes from all over the place, though I have a couple key sources that just get me pumped.

Just curious. I wanna know what pushes you to create your own stuff.

I would say my inspiration comes from all over the place as well, I like too many things and grab some inspiration from it.

My writing seems to have a lot of influence on TYPE-MOON stuff though, some friends have told me I really get wild on the whole despair and "motivated by love be it twisted or pure" things.

Also my early years of drawfaggotry was heavily inspired by Bleedman. I have distanced myself as much as I can from it though.

I know what you mean though, my comfy comic idea also began having a worldbuilding of it's own and I'm worried about it ruining the fun chilling.

>>94306270
I also forgot to mention I'm into Junji Ito and Shintaro Kago and basically everything that makes you uncomfortable. Making a cute comic is basically diametrically opposed to what I usually do. It's a fun experiment but since I know not a lot about cute and light-hearted stuff it's also new ground for me.
I haven't done much worldbuilding so far. I'm basically discovering the world together with my readers.

>I recently saw some study that showed they check to see whether your eyes are open or shut before doing stuff, and will do it if you close your eyes

Doggos are really fun. I remember a commercial of dog food where they showed a dog on the coach but the moment he heard footsteps outside he went "oh shit right I'm not supposed to be here" then moved to his actual bed before the family came in. They are also aware of when they do something they are supposed not to so that's why in all those videos of them breaking the house they look guilty as hell even before people address them.

>>94306384
Given pack mentality that kind of makes sense. It's just the rebellion aspect while still being fully concious of what they're doing that's surprising.

Secretly, anime and western cartoons almost entirely. I guess my main influences are children's anime like Ronya or Conan or the world masterpeice theatre ones and also cyberpunk anime like SEL or psycho-pass, I secretly haven't seen GITS or Akira yet though. I feel like a hack since I could never be considered a comics fan, the only comics I read for entertainment were a couple of Tintins lying around the house, I borrowed some from the library at school too.

>>94306467
I did. I basically read everything he ever made. I followed a two scanlation groups and had always been up to date on all his manga.

So I wanna make some tshirt designs around the band from my comic, since few of my friends want some. What is a good resolution/template to get something like pic related?

>>94306984
I'm thinking... it looks like about twice as wide and twice as long as a printed page, so maybe double the minimums for a comic page

>>94306984
Resolution should be 300 dpi at minimum, 600 dpi if you want them big enough.

I would recomend to talk to your print center of choice in these regards, since their sizes for t-shirts can vary and what not.

resolution's irrelevant if your size is too small though. 300dpi if you drew at actual size for the shirt, yeah. A shirt would be... maybe 20 inches across at most for a really big one, probably less

thanks for the info. I did want to make something like this for a while, since some of my friends want to put some gloryhol related tshirts as an injoke during heavy metal shows and whatnot.

For this tshirt, i was asked to make something very "maiden". So trooper once again with something like powerslave. I'm struggling to make something good on that format, damn.
Help on ideas and composition?

>>94309266
The classic three people clustered together at different levels and looking in different directions that diverge from the center is popular for a reason. You dun good. Where's the GLORYHOL logo going to go?

Why Pusheen and facebook fox?

>>94309333

For some reason he doesn't want to spend a couple hours cranking out his own designs for a simplified cat and fox, and instead resorts to possible copyright issues down the line

Because I had been drawing new stickers for month for fun and then needed something cute to make a webcomic out of it. In wanted to concentrate on the characters and the world they inhabit. Although I will definitely introduce more characters eventually that will be original designs.

>>94309393
I would put it across the top, but right now that would make the entire thing a little more vertical than you're probably going for. That titty pharaoh is not something I'd wanna cover up. Remind me what the logo usually looks like? I'd like to know what kind of space it takes up.

>>94309453
it's a fat logo

>>94309496
So it is..
Well, you could put the R and Y behind tittypharaoh's head just as they go behind giantlady's head and it wouldn't ruin anything, but then your design is still just a tad tall. However, it looks to me like you could move the background down slightly without too much of it being significantly covered, putting the titties only a little above the height of the short guy on the left (his shins are a bit disproportionately short, to my eye). I can do a mockup of what I'm thinking, if you aren't following.

posters tend to be a little longer than you'd expect a t-shirt graphic to be, but then t-shirts are worn longer now so you could go down further.
This is roughly how I would try to fit it, though A) that guy's legs still need to be a lot longer, and B) since the entire group is off-center anyway, maybe it's okay for tittypharaoh to be off to the right, thus fitting her in more neatly in the negative space left by the two crouching band members. If she was at a 3/4ths angle that wouldn't look like a mistake.

Trying out some things. Changed some colors around to accomadate character personalities. Also i tried updating the speech balloons to have more depth, thought it would feel like the sticky notes in a way. Also colored speech balloon outlines? I feel its a bit much though...

Begin to write a huge paragraph about cold fusion or the other idiot, of course making fun of them. realize that iv met low key retards before and hell these guys might just be one of those. Forgive me.

>>94311012
Nice job with the records. I didn't know what you were going to do, since fully-detailed album covers would be a massive pain in the ass, but I think you compromised nicely with those simple ones.
Also the text is now readable. Now that I can read it, I don't understand the objection from before. She IS trying to hurry him out. It feels believable.
The colored outlines would be fine if you maybe just toned down the saturation of the red, but I only say that because it stands out in the lower, gray panels. In the colored one, it balances out fine. Also the shadow thing is good, but probably not necessary.

I'm a little late with today's page. Inks are done, now working on the greys and then to letter. I think the final product is going to look good.

how's my webcomic idea?

it's about a middle aged man doing comics for the past 10 years but to no avail. he's adamant on sticking to his format and keeps churning out the same thing with little improvement, but he's convinced that he'll make it someday. in the meantime he spends most of his time posting in a webcomic community because he really has no one else to talk to.

The story progresses as he ages and becomes more and more delusional and attached/entrenched in the past, unwilling to move on. The story takes place 10 years later than the audience thinks, the guy has become so crazy that the "threads" he's posting in aren't live threads, but archived ones of the past. He's been talking to himself and drawing the same comic for years.

That's actually a pretty interesting idea. Reminds me of some of those postmodern Garfield takes.
However, should both be 10 years? That means there was never any real participation. Also how do you post in archived threads?

>>94311677
>That means there was never any real participation
There isn't, not when the readers begin the story. It'll be framed to appear normally so the readers realize how fucked up he actually is.

>Also how do you post in archived threads?
he doesn't, it'll be revealed later that the times he's been shown posting are him roleplaying in old threads he participated in 10 years ago.

>>94311773
wait, so he WAS in those old threads
but the comic didn't start until after that? Or was that something that happened midway through

>>94311812
ok look, I'll just cut to the chase. imagine coldfusion 10 years from now, when everyone has moved on and he's all alone still drawing these "radical 2000 era anime" comics. this is his story

>>94311889
Oh okay, so the comic's been going for 25 total. See I was gonna say it doesn't really get tragic until you hit at least 12 years, ideally twice that.

Oh I don't doubt it's legible in person, but see, display size is always going to be roughly the same.. either the middle third or so of your monitor, or a bit more if it's bigger if it's meant to be scrolled down as you read. Given that, examine the text again.

>>94306475

Hey man, my inspiration is mostly Eatern, Western influences me ore now, but at the very core of Boys Land is my Eastern inspo.

Mostly Digimon and One Piece. Digimon for the basic premise and that for some reason it always makes me cry, (Adventure,) and One Piece more for Oda. That man has built this ever expanding world that has gone on for 20 years! I want to love Boys Land as much as he loves One Piece. I admire his ambition so much that it literally pushes me forward with my comic. So more of a meta inspo.

Shit I always thought this guy was Duplexide. Why you gotta have similar names mang

>>94313873
actually my name is based on Lego Duplo, aproduct range of the construction toy Lego, designed for children aged 1½ to 5 years old. Duplo bricks are twice the length, height and width of traditional Lego bricks, making them easier to handle and less likely to be swallowed by younger children. Despite their size, they are still compatible with traditional Lego bricks. Initially launched in 1969, the Duplo range has gone on to include sets with figures, cars, houses and trains.

>TYPE-MOON
>What do you like about

Mostly I like how the worldbuilding plays in there. Nasu (the writer) has all this already set rules and lore on his whole multiverse which I find quite enjoyable as a triviafag.

I also like when the characters got some nice complexity on them and how they face their own ideals and values.

Shiro from Fate gets a lot of memes about how dumb he is (in the animes he actually is) but when you read him on the VN is an interesting examination on how the hero of justice mentality works, and how twisted it actually is.

Other protagonist from other Fate entry is pretty much the generic prota to the extreme, they have nothing special about them, they are average on everything. Yet they can make it to the end and still fight because they may not be special but that doesn't mean they won't fight for what they thing is right/for the people they care for. This is a theme that has been prevalent on later works and is one I quite like.

>recommend

What came to mind at first was "play the VNs!", not because of eliticism, but adaptations of TM works really seem to be guilty of not really working as well as they do in their native medium. For example a friend started with the ufotable version of UBW and she was kind of confused and overall didn't like the experience. That is because they adapted the route as it was, but the route in the VN needs for you to play the Saber route first (nips published that route on smartphones before the UBW anime came out, that pretty much says it all).

Now I know not everyone has patience to read all that text by Nasu, so I will get to what I can recommend.

>Fate/Zero anime
Is a bit overrated, but I actually like it. If you can handle Urobuchi's love for drama, you can watch this fine. It is a prequel to Fate main series so you aren't missing anything. Animation and OST is cool.

>Kara no Kyoukai movies
Pretty much what set ufotable on the table actually. They have a good soundtrack and they adapt quite well one of the first works of TYPE-MOON. Even Nasu liked them better.

>Melty Blood and Fate/unlimited codes
Both are fighting games localized in English, I know Melty Blood -one of them- is on Steam, the Fate one needs a PS2 or PSP emulator iirc. They are fun.

>Carnival Phantasm
This needs a bit of knowledge of some memes from the franchises but I watched it back when I only knew the DEEN anime and still had a good laugh. Is also one of my inspirations when it comes to humor.

>Riyo comics
They are tutorials for Fate/GO mobage (other recommendation if you don't mind mobage shit) but evolved into something of their own.

>Fate/Apocrypha (A1)
I would recommend the light novels better but they are being translated really slowly and the anime is on this season already.
To be fair, the story kind of goes downhill after they switch the MC, but my husbando is in there on best team so it's worth a watch.

Damn, sorry for the long wall text of China.

Nah just kidding, I actually think you need a bit of sadism on you if you are going to add drama, death and all that kind of stuff in your story. I'm a damn sadistic writer and I don't like it much because most of the time it comes out when I want something to be just happy times. Is as if I needed a quota to fill.

>>94314945
But then again, happiness makes for a bad plot device. It was only after being displaced that Ulysses's story began. Although I'm not sure I'm the biggest fan of catharsis as simply going back to the starting point of your journey when things were just fine. But maybe that is what people want from a story. I dunno.

I don't think it's cheating to take prompts. There are comics that take audience suggestions constantly.

You'll probably have to put in just as much (if not more) work making a VN.
You need to draw characters/poses/alt outfits, high quality CGs, backgrounds, write enough text to pad out 20+ hours, make multiple endings, code the whole thing...

Helps that this and the last one were going to be one long strip at first, but that would have been nuts.
