Here is my main character's first and final design. He was originally going to be a side character but as I reworked the story I ended up making him the protagonist.

Do you think it was a good idea to redesign him? Does he look better now?

i'm not sure, there are things i liked about the old design too. at least keep it as a plush he has of himself, as an easter egg.

>>78397943
Oh shoot, can't believe I missed that one. Thanks for the feedback!

>>78397961
Maybe it's because I've been showing the un-coloured version as well, and I've been slow with the updates, so it's like it's not going anywhere.

But on the other hand, I admit I'm having troubles wrapping this up. I think in two more strips, the conversation topic will change, and goes with something different. The one that follows the fake teeth I showed before is the last one before moving on.
Then I won't be able to show anything because it's gonna be nsfw for a while.

I have been waiting so long to use this premise. every time I see someone dramatically finish someone else's sentence from above a skylight or something it NAGS at me to tear it apart

y'know I've been thinking about pacing and panels like that one anon advised, and I think I get more across with word bubble placement.

but once again I feel like the punchline here is weak, so any suggests would be a pair of breasts. That is, crits would be tits.

I fucking love this art.

>>78398249
funny how similar this is to depression. same basic advice: try to stop caring. obviously you're getting stuck on this one thing, and while it DOES matter, caring about it disproportionately is worse than not caring at all.
just do some drawings and put them in order. you can move it around later

>>78398548
nazis make you uncomfortable? they don't, yknow, make you laugh?

>>78395617
Um. I suppose it's well made but I feel like it would suit the Happiness and Cyanide crowd more than me personally.

>>78398607
Not when the main characters are Nazis. It has to not feel like a Nazi made it. I doesn't really with your comic but I'm not really sure where it's going.

>>78398597
I'll take this advice, Anon. And give it another go.

>>78398525
I thought about it, but problem is, that my comic is not strictly XXX. So anyone outside the regulars here in HYW might get the wrong impression of what to expect from my work because it's in a XXX thread.

I'm not sure that's what I'd like. I'll take this chance to practice on other works, and bother y'all with feedback here as always.

>>78398661
not that guy, I just think nazis are hilarious
that's been basically the point of most of their depictions outside of the used-to-be-about-history-channel. i think mel brooks once said he took pleasure in making hitler look so ridiculous that nobody could possibly take his ideas seriously again

>>78399000
I have that worry sometimes too
just post that fact in the thread, if you're concerned. "here's the porn pages. if you care about the plot go to (site)"

>>78398577
this is really neat to me, the sort of.. geometrically consistent strange cartoony animals.. as if drawings come to life.
just 2 things mate:
-in the first panel her eyes should be higher. everything else is in the right place.
-that's a hell of an awkward size to read, at least on my browser. i have to switch from fit-on-screen which is illegible to full-size which is too massive to see even a single panel at once. it would be appreciated if you resized somewhat smaller before sharing your WIPs in the future. which I hope you'll do!

>>78399211
Thanks, man!

>in the first panel her eyes should be higher
Alright
>it would be appreciated if you resized
Sorry about that. I didn't think it would be so big. Is opening the image in a new tab not easier? That's what I usually do.

Thanks for the input. I rarely ever come to these threads and when I do I never post anything of my own. I've only ever posted something once before.

And that's all I've got so far. I DO have the rest of the story outline planned out, so just gotta flesh it out.

>>78398577
Not really, at least not in my opinion. The first panel would be neat if not for the horrible chicken scratch on the girl. The second panel doesn't read all that well. The third should take more place on the page at the expense of second, fourth and fifth. Is this an explosion? Are they being blown away? Because if anything, it looks like they're running down a hill instead. Why are the last two panels so big? There's so much unused space in them that could be used for more important things on the page. Same goes for the Manga Studio Margins © you are using.

Now, the general level of your art is not good. The creatures are passable when they aren't drawn like a cardbard cutout. In this regard panel 1 is fine, panel 4 is not. The human is drawn badly, but I'm a bit biased towards proper anatomy, so maybe others would not agree with me.

If this is a sketch and not the finished version, either wait with posting until you have it ready or be more specific with your questions. While I'm at it, your page looks kinda Pokemon-inspired, what is it about?

>>78399410
>horrible chicken scratch on the girl
I guess I should have said that it's just in the sketch phase.
>2nd panel
Noted
>it looks like they're running down a hill instead
A little of both but it should be more clear.
>Why are the last two panels so big? There's so much unused space in them that could be used for more important things on the page
Noted. I didn't really put much into the paneling because it's just a one off test. I definitely should have though.
>when they aren't drawn like a cardbard cutout.
That was kinda the intent?
>anatomy
Where does the anatomy stick out as especially bad?
>what it is about
Nothing really. It's just a page I did on a whim with no real context. I guess they're trying to catch that big monster? I was thinking about Cencoroll when I drew it.

>>78399343
This comic gives me a rayman vibe.

>>78399522
Rayman as a whole (but DEFINITELY Origins) is actually a HUGE inspiration to me. I fucking ADORE the art in Rayman Origins, especially the characters. It's probably what I'd say is closest to how I want my art to look.

I really liked legends alot more, but they're both really good. Legends is really inspiring me to make my game happen.

>>78399569
Oh I love both Origins AND Legends a ton. I think Legends is the better game (though some things about it bother me), but Origins is just closer to how I want my own stuff to look. I prefer the characters with outlines and solid cel shading over the painted look. Both look WONDERFUL, though.

More importantly, comic page is looking good, I like the expressions!

>>78398667
If you're working digitally, I heartily recommend making sketches of a bunch of panels on separate layers and playing around with them.
You can even do something similar in trad by cutting out panels and attaching them to a blank page.

Comics that normally dont update today update...updated. How important is updating on holidays and special events?

>>78408729
Not very important to me personally. It's nice, but I don't really care if they do, because it's just gonna be a pinup or an omake.

>>78408729
if it's a daily comic, it's a major waste not to
otherwise? i reccommend against doing it every single year. you get this thing where these characters celebrate halloween and then immediately christmas.. many many times.. while the rest of the comic indicates very little time has passed

>>78408729
For a gag strip, probably not very. For a story comic, I'd say having consistent updates no matter what is pretty good. I'd also recommend having a buffer so you don't have to work oh holidays.

Not a holiday update, but we ought to update tonight or tomorrow. Back with Beatrice. About to do something rash.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gmiSPMHrWQ

Vince Guaraldi is always appropriate.

Artist and I had a nice Christmas meal at a Denny's in New Jersey, in which we ate horrific food and talked about lasers and movies and how we'll be done with this first story arc by May at the latest.

So happy holidays and such to y'all.

Now, I need to practice on using a tablet.

Ohh you meant updating ON the holiday
yeah i appreciate having something to read.. but i GUESS some people are too busy on holidays to read comics or whatever.

>>78410053
never has that song been more appropriate
wooo Denny's christmas. that's a classic. Wait, your denny's is bad? that's a shame, ours is fantastic.

man that red rain looks so dramatical. i've seen nice reddish skies during snowfalls but never rain. that's fantastic.

>>78410523

sorry dude, i'm catching up. it's a slow thread. did someone run over your puppy?

>>78412714
Wrong. That would look even worse.

>>78411520
This is smart, but it looks cheap. Make the locker layer a little less opaque, then draw over it with the rulers/line tools so it looks more natural. Looks a lot better that way, I promise. Nice crowd btw.

>>78411368
Also, just noticed: fix the perspective on that poster on the right. Bring the bottom down a bit more.

>>78412840
why would that look worse? each one would look roughly the same.

Well, let's put it this way:
Ghost Kiss just updated an entire 12-page chapter today. I think we can all agree that was a retarded thing to do. Everyone visiting the site just saw the last page first.

>>78412840
Guys. It's not done. Do you think all the characters are solid orange?

>>78405750
Haha thanks! To be honest aside from the time I use to color skin I tend to just make up a bunch of other ones arbitrarily and then not save them after applying it...though I'll see about going back and replicating the other 2 ones used here when I get home.

>>78406297

I've had good Denny's before, mostly because it was terrible but the waiter liked me and gave me some Bailey's. Helluva tip. Good dude.

Anyway!
Update: The Sisters
thesisters-comic.com
Tapastic is having issues, but tapastic.com/series/The-Sisters for later.

4 Pages. Beatrice lets the rage out of the cage. But she sees something that puts things into perspective.

Almost done with "The Monster" next issue up is "the Secrets."

Finished this page!

I'm debating wether or not if this should be the end of the chapter

>>78414901
It should.

>>78398577
I love the monster designs. They really shine in that first panel. In the fourth panel, the monster looks too flat but it could work if your going for humor. Also, in the third panel the hostile monster looks much farther away than in the first panel. Did it get thrown back by rebound or is that a different monster?

Hard to judge the whole thing at this stage but I think it's going in the right direction.

>>78414901
what's coming next? because this seems like a fine ending

>>78414953
Yeah, I think that's a wrap.

On the one hand I don't have crippling depression and loneliness. On the other hand I pretty much just missed out on a ton of productive time.

>>78415186
yeah that can be a little interlude minichapter. possibly with a gimmick if you feel like doing one

>>78415390
replace friends with wiki articles and little brother with puppy and dad with mom and that's me. i never have time for videogames anymore

>>78415534

I spend all my time at my computer in my room. I need to get a second monitor up so I can game and still use my computer for other things.

I have suddenly lost all motivation to make a webcomic. I still love drawing, especially drawing my own characters (although commissions are always a blast, too), but I really just woke up today and my first thought was "I don't want to make a webcomic anymore." What went wrong? Has anyone been in a similar situation?

>>78415625
yeah dude, i did that and life has never been better. all my videogame dreams now involve me checking my computer for hints and stuff

>>78415017
Thanks

>in the third panel the hostile monster looks much farther away than in the first panel.
I see it now. I'll fix it.

>>78415847
Do something else. If you had started the comic you just would have dropped it in the middle which would be worse than deciding you don't want to do it.

>>78415847
there's other ways you can put out cool drawings than make a comic.

>>78412678
yeah i should change it to "latest update" bc i have 2 page updates

>>78416157
Ohhhh I get it. in that case that's fine
... and I guess that means I shouldn't bookmark the /comics/ page which DOES show the latest one, because then I'll miss the first part of multipage updates?

>>78416531
yeah hahah. sorry for the inconvenience.

Feeling really sad so I thumbed a stupid comic.

>>78417271
decided ill probably separate the 3rd panel into 3 reaction panels but you get the idea.

>>78414342
He was a cool hispanic dude with a samurai tattoo on his arm. And he had it in his car. It was pretty baller. I had frozen half to death out walking, so I stopped in for coffee. Nice guy. Coffee was shit, so he said to wait five minutes and then meet him in the parking lot. We talked about movies and shit.

>>78414380
>can't pretive to alive it.
What?
Anyway, yeah another cliff-hanger. Next update should explain away some things. Conrad's motivations should be almost fully clear by the end of the issue, as well as how Beatrice fits into it.

>>78417271
I laughed.

>>78417299
oh yeah like horizontal bars. that works.
that last panel is freaking adorable. and it's nice that she isn't completely oblivious to all the crazy weird things about her. Just the scale of them.

>>78417336
I win
>>78417337
It's kinda like realizing your a weirdo in real life. In order to not get sad about it, you ignore it but you know its there. At least thats my experience with being weird to the general population.

>>78417336
You and your damn amazing life experiences. It's like that very last episode of The Storyteller.
>>78417443
I was always proud of it. Then again I was raised on a healthy dose of Animaniacs. And before that, Gonzo was my favorite muppet. In retrospect I was probably pretty annoying, but I'll take that anyday over boringsauce regulars.

>>78417507
My family never much cared about weirdness (my grandpa is the king of weird) but kids at school are another matter. I live in a tough city. Eat or be eaten kind of deal and if you stick out its kinda a problem depending on where you go.

How many webcomics do you know that seem like they're intentionally being dragged out too long? .

I mean story based webcomics. Not slice of life comics, where the point is to kind of keep it going a while.

>>78417684
This is a relic of a different era, and I know I'm being part of the problem by still staying updated, but MegaTokyo. The 12th chapter just started, but the 11th lated over 5 years for what ended up not really moving the story in as significant a way as I would've hoped. Most of this slowness is exacerbated by the fact that Fred always misses his updates, and the site can go months without a comic.

>>78418199
yeah I check it every day too but I can't remember the last time it ever had a new comic. i literally remember nothing about the story whatsoever, that's how long it's been. it's just various random art.

>>78418199

That comic is so behind in so many different ways. It's amazing he still draws in that blobby faux animu style that hasn't been popular since the early to mid 2000s.

That also reminds me of No Pink Ponies. Eisu is shit with schedules and that comic apparently still takes place way back in the past.

Maybe webcomics need to adopt a sliding timescale like Marvel.

>>78418386
hey some of us still like that style.. it's hardly blobby. and as i recall, it was never a popular style. I'm not even sure how to describe it
in any case the flaw is in the writing. it's like what if egoraptor never replaced jontron and just tried to be the singular game grump. It would have been a lot like megatokyo

>>78418428

The rounded heads were practically just circles. Weird half-animu style done in pencil. To me it's just a relic of the 00s. I stopped reading a long long long time ago and remembered nothing really happening and they managed to drag out drama for chapters.

Ranked by art, writing, and over all quality.

You can do top 5 or 10, or just one for each category. Or you can rank all of them if you have that much free time.

I'm just curious.

>>78425851

Happens when someone posts your stuff and link somewhere and some people check it out. It also depends on how many pages you have because each person will likely look at every page. So even though your numbers dropped you seem to have a higher number of usual visitors at the end.

>>78426455
>Happens when someone posts your stuff and link somewhere and some people check it out.
But it doesn't match the amount of visitors... or maybe I just don't understand what pageviews mean. I haven't seen my comic featured anywhere when I got the spikes, those weren't even update days.

>>78426576

Doesn't matter. All it takes for someone to link you in some way and a lot of people check it out. Those views are the entire site. That's how mine are. And I have breakdowns of what pages got what views. It could also count for someone clicking on a page, going to another, and then coming back to that page.

>>78426576
A lot of pageviews usually means the same person read your whole comic.

An otaku kid ends up in a fantasy world with elves and shit, but with modern technology.
He's forced to fight the demon lord, but instead, he teams up with him against the empire.
Simple concept, but it works well enough for a comedy story with only 4 panels.

>>78431241

I would advise against that. It's not necessary and that'd give that sentence three commas. Only if the kid pauses after saying "hey." Otherwise it's perfectly fine for him to say "Hey Demon Lord,".

>>78431469
I actually had a comma in it at first, but deleted it because it felt weird.
English isn't my native language, though, so I wasn't sure about it.

689KB, 1275x1275px

>>78431462

>>78431497

You don't need it. Commas are for pauses and to keep clauses separate. Yes you can have a comma after "hey" but it's not necessary and works better without it.

>>78431469
Personally I'd suggest going full minimalist and just
"Can we buy this, please?"

There's no need to specify that he's talking to the demon lord - he's the only other guy in the comic. Cut everything you don't need, y'know?

>>78431626

I think the first bit is nice and comes across as childish. He's a kid that's casually talking to a demon lord. It fits.

>>78431626
I want the "Demon Lord" in it, because it sounds weird.
He has a real name (Falk), but Kevin always calls him Demon Lord, for some reason. I guess I just think it's cute.

>>78431696
Well guess what, fuckboy?

It is cute.

>>78431469
>It's not necessary
I want people like you to fucking die. Fuck you. It is absolutely necessary.

>>78431696
In that case I'd go with "Demon Lord, can we please buy this?" to keep the number of commas down.

>>78431771

That's also good. Also, what about "Mr. Demon Lord"?

>>78431819
That's awfully close to "Demon Lord-senpai," brother.

>>78431951

Without is just as good but I feel the first part comes across as a little plain. I like the extra flavor of a "hey" or adding "Mr."

>>78431771
I might change it to "Uhm... Demon Lord? Can we buy this, please?", or something like that.

This. Grammar is still accounting for this, but the way people speak nowadays we don't pause after all salutations or interjections.

I watched one episode and thought it's really bad.
Then again, it has over 11,000,000 views on youtube.

>>78432606
It never represented a pause. Not all commas are pauses.

>>78432764
They are both ostensibly and subjectively. When you read a comma, you pause. That's how it works. That's why we have started leaving them out, because we have stopped pausing after the word 'hey'. That word has had a long history and metamorphosis and in its current form it does not require a comma afterwards.

Merry Christmas from the creators of Urban Tales!

Here's a link to the comic if you're interested.
http://tapastic.com/episode/235287

Should I use a name in these threads? I post my comic and comment on other's comics from time to time.

There's not much benefit to it.

Hey /co/, new fag here. I'm trying to start my web comic, but I want to know what drawing tablets are my best option. I am looking for one that displays what I'm drawing on the tablet and if possible, has layers. Pressure sensitivity is a plus.

>>78433345
It's an anonymous imageboard, it's not that big of a deal.

>>78433345

Only if you feel the need to differentiate yourself from anons. Not necessary and if you do it should be kept to these threads.

>>78433482
Yeah, you're right. It's not that big of a deal. I'll just stay anonymous.

>>78433426
All of them have pressure sensitivity. It's not a plus it's required. You're looking for a cintiq but those are very expensive. If you've never used a tablet before start out with Wacom's cheapest one. You really don't NEED anything better than that but some people want the extra added functionality and pressure.

>>78433109
okay my good chum answer me this if you can
if it had changed, how would you know?

>>78433345
use it when you post your comic
leave it off when you comment on others'
>I am looking for one that displays what I'm drawing on the tablet
wouldn't we all. Unfortunately that adds an extra zero to the price, good chum. Doubt you can afford that.
>if possible, has layers
that's in the image program, not the tablet
>Pressure sensitivity is a plus.
Get anything but a low-level digitizer and that's a given.

I suggest something from the monoprice family.

Proper English and the way people talk do not necessarily line up all of the time.

I love your comics. I don't know a lot about printing but if you need funding kickstarter may be an option, I got several comics from kickstarter projects and it always turned out very nice.

Also not trying to be annoying but don't you think in the panel upper right hand corner instead of "which" it might sound better to use "whence"?
Just a suggestion.

>>78434974
true, but when they differ you can generally correct people
however, people do decide grammar. all grammar is decided by somebody. and we have collectively all acknowledged the undeniable truth that you pause when you comma, and decided to stop comma-ing in places where we once paused but no longer do so.
>>78434918
so no matter what this site says, you will believe it and correct others?

>>78435022
or just 'to the hell you came from'
funny this comes up in grammar discussion, but that 'from which you came' is an example of grammar everyone THINKS is grammar, but is not and has never been: the 'don't end with a preposition' rule.. causing people to twist their sentences all up. it was never a rule, it was simply a reality in latin, that you CAN'T split up an infinitive. and for a while, people had fucking huge hardons for latin so they insisted the same for english despite english being perfectly able to

>>78435097
Exactly. If a character would pause, then you put a comma. If they wouldn't pause, you don't put one.

>>78434974
People talk does not always correlate to how it's written. When you say "hello anon" it's written "hello, anon". There's no pause because that's not what the comma represents.

>>78435097
http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/commas.asp
Look at as many sites as you want. It's the same on all of them.

>>78435307
No, when you say "hello anon" you are saying it without pausing so it would be written as "hello anon." If you said "hello, anon" with a pause then it would be written as such.

This is really not that difficult to understand.

http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/comma_with_dear_hello_and_hi.htmHow many website
How many websites do you want me to find for you? There's a comma there. I don't care if you think a comma always means a pause.

>>78435307
Do you have any idea how long it will take for those sources to register a change in usage? Look how long it took for people to identify snowclones and other parts of speech we don't even have names for yet

>>78435415
>I don't care if you think a comma always means a pause.
well it does, anon. deal with it.
Why else would we need punctuation there? What purpose would it serve?

>>78435419
There hasn't been a change. How people speak is not 1 to 1 with how it is represented in written language. Look at how many words aren't pronounced anything like how they look. It is written as such because someone is not saying it to you where you can hear their embellishment and cues. It's written that way so it's perfectly clear what's being said.

>>78435437
You are factually wrong.

>>78435465
>How people speak is not 1 to 1 with how it is represented in written language.
language's job is to represent how people speak. Now, people often speak incorrectly, but the fact is that the correct way to speak does change a bit over time. Generally the old ways remain correct too, the wrong ways are just ways that are arrived at via ignorance and poor education.
There was a time when written language didn't bother with spaces, let alone full stops. They evolved to suit the need. Right now the comma suits the need of denoting pauses, period.

>>78435507
Let's eat, grandma
Let's eat grandma

If you're going to be willfully ignorant then I'm done with the conversation.

>>78435465
>Look at how many words aren't pronounced anything like how they look.
You cannot be this stupid.

>>78435415
>I don't care if you think a comma always means a pause
It does, though. 99.999% of readers will read it as a pause. The only ones who won't are autistic, obtuse morons like you.

>>78435538
Let's eat is a complete sentence, of course it's going to be a RELATIVE pause. We're talking about single word exclamations. It's impossible not to pause somewhat after a single word imperative verb.
But even if that wasn't the case, it wouldn't prove squat. That would be the "its", the exception that exists because there would be confusion otherwise. There's no confusion with 'hey grandma'

>>78435588
Just because you say it is based on bullshit you think does not mean that's how it is done properly. The only exception to it is in a letter where you might not put the comma if you don't want to but you would after.

>>78434918

Not a reliable source.

http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/commas.htm

tl;dr Here's a bunch of times to use it. Just don't overuse it.

I've looked at other sources although none of them are what you call a reliable source they seem to be kind of split. I found something by a English professor but he doesn't address it directly.

Kickstarter is an option in the future I think but the con I had wanted the books for rejected me anyway. More time to get stuff together I guess. Whence was the word I wanted and couldn't think of! Thank you. Might just chance it to "the hell you came from" though. Whence would seem out of place a bit seeing as Mimi comes off a bit "simple".

question for artists.

I always loved art and everything related to it, problem is I'm shit at drawing and even when I do I hardly draw at all (It's kinda the feeling of you wanting to do something but then another thing pops up in your mind and your determination fades away)

Still I want to hold tight to that dream, so after begging to my parents I'm being sent to an arts school in vancouver, even tough I'll probably enter there as a rusty nail.

Is it too late? I see people drawing all the time and feel regret when I'm not doing it, I want to draw, but I get fearful of being shit and stop there. most famous guys say that they were drawing since little and I'm already a grown up and have hardly drawn in my life.

I still want to learn how to draw nontheless

>>78437227
You don't go to art school to learn to draw.

>>78437227
Cancel going to art school right this second. You are wasting so much money. Art school will not teach you how to be an artist. Art school is for artists to hopefully get better. If you absolutely want to learn just get into some non-college classes. I'm sure you can find some.

>>78437247
It's one of those animation schools, that focus on classical animation and movies and all that jazz

Called VFS (Vancouver film school)

>>78437300
If you can't draw and they accept you, you don't want to go.

>>78437247
>>78437291

Don't think I clarified myself, it isnt art school per se. It's a film school (With animation and all that)

I've signed up for "Foundation visual art design" or something, supposedly is essentially a course for people that wish to become actors/animators all that jazz

>>78437361
Dobson went to an animation college.

>>78437361
Dude it's going to be really rough. Those classes are not for people who don't know how to draw at all. Pretty much nothing in college is for complete beginners. Do what you want though. You'll see if you like it after a semester.

I don't if you are just a retard or a idiot or just baiting.

>>78437227
Take classes, don't go to art school. Hell, even free videos on YouTube are better than art school. Practice and learn on your own. Even borrow things from artists you like. Just don't waste your money on art school. I went to art school to be a cartoonist. Huge mistake.

>>78437473
That's what I fear the most, but I'm prepared to eat the dirt.

My only fear is to be so far behind everyone else that any possibility of success seems null

the only saving grace is that the lady I talked to told me that they would hand extra help after I told them the same thing

>>78437482
My point is college isn't for someone who isn't already artist. It polishes and is good for connections. That's about it.

Glen Keane *accidentally* ended up in animation. He meant to apply to fine arts but his application ended up in animation and he decided to go on a whim.

>>78437515
What this guy says.

>>78437421
Dobson can actually draw decently.

>>78437543
Of course they told you that, friend. They want your enrollment money.

You're obviously determined to go. It's your life. Just, you know, beware. I've drawn and done my art my entire life, and I"m still only what I consider all right, so I went to school for something else and got a job in that field to fuel my passions.

But, again, do whatever you want.

Here's a comic I'm working on.

I might change the last panel. Or add a panel with a hole blown through the wall, and some houses outside destroyed.

>>78437802
I don't get it.. but I like it

>>78437971
Have you watched One Punch Man?

I know the comic is super sloppy right now.

Hahaha I get it!

OPM fans are as bad as Undertale fans and SU fans.

Remove the "holy shit" from the last panal and just have the parents looking with horror possibly covered in blood and chunks.

also draw the child like saitama from the moment he opens the one punch hands box.

can't wait for it to be finished.

>>78438085
These are some good ideas. The "holy shit" doesn't seem necessary, so, I'll remove it.

I'm going to work on this as much as I can while I work on my actual webcomic.

>>78438007
no but i know the premise. i dont understand from the drawings what's going on beyond one kid punching another and for some reason his parents are upset by it when they arent when the other kid does it

>>78438343
It's Christmas morning, the family goes into the living room, kids start opening presents. One gets hulk hands, one gets One Punch hands.

They hit each other. The second kid gets one punched to death.

>>78437802
Can't really tell any gore or anything is happening from this sketch so it just looks like the kid dodged it.

>>78438434
Oh I see
your problem is th-
>>78438719
Yeah what this guy said. Nothing looks strange about that punch. I see no evidence he was punched harder than normal, or that it even connected

As far as art school goes: tl;dr It's whatever you make it.

If you show up to class, do your assignments, have a decent time and come out with average grades, then you'll just be an average artist. Which, may not sound bad, but in any sorta creative industry, the worst thing you can be is forgettable. So if you're just 'okay' and float with the trends, sure, you might pick up some work here and there, but that's a super-duper uphill battle.

But if you bust your ass outside of class, give yourself projects between projects, hang out with professors, keep and ear to the ground for internships, and just keep working: You've got a better chance of coming out as a pretty good artist. Plus, if you're geographically around where opportunity strikes, you've got a better chance of it striking you.

But if art school's outta your price range, that's totally understandable. The best advice I can give is to just surround yourself with work you're super into and try and deconstruct the shit out of it. Plus, yknow, practice in general.

You don't gotta come to the table 100% inspired to churn out your opus; but if you start drawing at like 60%, within an hour of working you'll usually find yourself 100% in it.
