yes, he does.
he's the middle ground between bones and scribs.
honestly, out of all three bones is my favorite. his optimism is catchy!

>>82907533
dewd is ok his art is not the best but i have seen his comic and he has improved, very very slowly but he is improving

i kinda wish he makes remake of his first chapters one day so i can actually understand what is going on in his comic

>>82907698

Dewd actually is remaking his early chapters, or at least was fairly recently, so it's somewhat printable, because he has a publishing deal.

>>82908064
Did your wife bought you that or did you buy that yourself?

>>82907949
i mean, i tried reading the first chapter but i couldn't understand shit about it but the recent pages have tolerable drawings so i guess he really is putting effort into it,

>>82908126
really? he got a publishing deal? well that's actually very motivating if he can get his comic publed maybe one day i'll turn my comic into a cartoon

>>82908237
Nah. I don't know if bones is a troll or not, but I agree with his philosophy of drawing primarily because he enjoys it. Unless you're a hobbyist, you should make because it pains you more not to.

heres hoping! fingers crossed! ijustcantwait.jpeg

>>82909145
this is actually so bad it's funny. dewd is straddling that middle ground where it's just sad and bad. he needs to either go full retard, or git gud.

I think the author died or is in the hopsticle or something. Anyway, the comic moves INCREDIBLY slowly, updates Mon/Thurs. Pretty gay though. Kinda hate how it's "by a Lesbian, for Lesbians" sorta attitude going on.

These are some sketches I did to start getting a feel for the characters. I've been tumbling the idea in my head for a long time, and these characters have been redrawn over and over again. They're supposed to be mages, but I decided to go simple rather than extravagant. These are likely their final forms.

The setting is akin to our own Cold War era, except magic exists and is commonplace in this world. The story focuses around a conflict in the so-called "homeland" of the mages. Forces of light and dark are rising, setting the stage for a great conflict. These two are caught in the middle.

No, it's not a typical high school anime setting.

My drawing style was pretty weeb from the start, yet I hadn't watched any animu or read any mangoes; I just ended up at a style that got the point through with minimal effort.

I'll consider it a decent start to get rolling, just remember to build yourself from there.

I'm not.

>>82913422
As long as you set the scene somewhere, you can often get away without backgrounds, particularly if the focus of the panel is on someone's expression, or dialogue. Simple colours, shapes and/or textures can also emphasise someone's emotional or psychological state.
If you have a broadly cartoony style, people are more likely to forgive a lack of backgrounds.

>>82913657
You can probably go down to about 8pt lettering, depending on the font.
While standard dialogue should be a consistent size, it's fine to make the font larger or smaller if someone's yelling or muttering under their breath.

>>82920443

>>82922062
You should be active on social media! It can help promote your comic (which I think is the best in /HYW/) and you can better interact with readers!

>>82922269
You're probably right, but social media never really appealed to me and I'm not really at a stage where I feel like I can afford to spend that kind of time on promotion. I'm having a hard enough time staying on schedule without even more things I can use to justify procrastinating.

>>82927646
I did have an idea for a hot springs strip, but it's not very developed.

Basically

panel 1
>Valkyrie X (Skalmöld?) shows some of the others the location of a secluded hot spring she knows about and everyone's super hype about it

panel 2
>Everyone sings the praises of hot springs

panel 3
>Valkyrie Y mentions off-hand that hot springs appearing in Asgard is a sign of the increasing power of the fire giants and the approach of the end times

panel 4
>awkward silence. Maybe valkyrie Y is oblivious towards the sudden change in mood.

>>82926251
Does your friend have a comic?

Someday dewd will become the new Rob liefeld, and everyone is going to stop bullying him

>>82928131
>not very developed.
hiyo
yeah that isnt much of a gag. if anything you'd split it up.. the mention of the fire giants.. then the jolly offhand mention of ragnarok, which results in a little reaction-panel. which still isnt much of a gag. maybe she has a cutesy crayon drawing (or whatever they had at the time. ochre?) thought balloon of fire giants causing hilarious destruction

>>82928142
Nah, she doesn't she just doodles for tumblr. I don't know her tumblr either.

>>82928272
>Rob liefeld

More like One. Dewd just need to find a god-tier artist.

>>82928307
>or whatever they had at the time
I think they had a variety of paints - maybe having her pull out an intricately carved and painted rune stone, or tapestry, would be a good alternative. The absurdity of somebody just having that on hand might enhance the joke.

If you're going for a realistically proportioned human, you'll want your lower legs to be about the same length as the upper legs. Right now they're way too short. Arms are a little too short, too - when the arms are hanging down the sides, the wrists should be just about the same height as the crotch.

Not a terrible start though.

you could also give her matching shoes if you wanted to save on palette at the slight cost of believability

>>82932716
Second one is best. Having a 50-50 red-green split is generally a worse idea that having one color clearly dominate.
Maybe a little more green wouldn't hurt. Like, the manchets or the collar.

>>82932815
that's pretty distorted though. forearms too long, shins too short. pelvis slightly too long but inconsistent by the angles.

>>82932716
None. It's all uneffay as fuck. Those shoe colors too. If I really have to pick, it'd be the first one. It feels like Christmas, but it's more eyecatching than the rest because the others are playing it more safe with the colors.

your art is taxing to follow. Composition doesn't facilitate flow, making it jarring most transitions. I find myself having to stop and analyze each panel to see what's going on instead of being able to picture scenes unfolding by themselves. You went for a sort of monotone color scheme, but the way you color doesn't bring out what you want to convey (ie: 3rd row middle, it's very unclear what the man with the backpack is doing at first glance, and the backpack blends into his figure).

yes, if you haven't had sex with a girl, you are not qualified to write a beautiful story/comic.

>implying virgins know shit about comics

>>82939995
Yes. What you will write otherwise will either be derivative or bland. How could you write about heartache if you've never known heartache? It would be like describing chocolate having never tasted it. You could write a heartache similar to one you've seen in a movie, but it would be like writing about chocolate, saying "it looked like poop and tasted brown."

Or you could prove them all wrong and write about something you've never experienced and take us there. That could be interesting too. Like what a psychopath thinks normal is, except reversed.

Have been doing a fair bit of writing over the past few days. I've more or less completely reworked the plot I want to do so aside from some situations and bits of dialogue I'm sort of starting over from scratch.

>>82941250
it's unintimidating
meanwhile his designs are fun to reinterpret. they have really clear features that it's easy to adapt, while at the same time they're done so shoddily that you feel compelled to fix them. like, i like annabeth's cow/lion/whatever tail. i love it. i want to draw it so the lines of the tail are parallel instead of one skinny bit then one fat bit.

>>82941250
actual retards get pity love sometimes. like forest gump, there's this kind of innocence about them that awakens the female mother instinct. meanwhile, social retards are creeps/monsters.

>>82938640
Haha, I will have to ask the writer where he got the name. You almost got it though, the characters and story are loosely based on a DnD campaign, so the reptilians came from there, but they were called something else.

>>82938717
I will take your word for it then! I am just trying to fix every sort of criticism we get.

>>82939109
Yeah, I know, these first pages are pretty messy, we published them only recently, but the pages themselves are kinda old... but I assure you it gets better. I don't know if the flow of the panels are that good still, but the drawings, composition, and the way I use the colors improve for sure.
I am so glad we took our time to release our stuff, though, at first we were going to have all black and white pages. Just look at pic related.

>>82939354
>>82940126

Glad some people liked it!

The most criticism we received was about the broken english, so an anon from /tg/ volunteered to proofread the scripts. He started to work on page 12 I think, we are still going to update the previous pages.

You can also navigate the pages with the arrows on the keyboard, but anyway I think the best way to get updates is by following the rss feed or liking our facebook page:

http://abnor.com.br/feed/?lang=en

I was alone in the fight to have the home page be the first page instead of the last one. Was it too much of a bad idea?

Thank you for the feedback anons!

I believe that Dewd and Bones are actually good artists. They're just trolling by drawing shitty things to rape our eyes with. I believe that animu shota is done by Dewd. So it's like those tropes in cartoons where a veteran hides his final form by appearing weak for a very important purpose except those two chose to appear like manchildren and they do it for free.

>>82941562
yeah because if i'm not mistaken, cherufes are from your neck of the woods. i mean as an american everything south of the border is one part of the world, an entire continent plus mexico. they're lava monsters
okay so you already have someone proofreading? no prob then.

see what you should do is, make the homepage the last page, but when you give out the link for promotion or publicity, give it as the first page. alternatively you can have a splash page with a 'first time reader? go here' and 'most recent page, go here' link. but that means one extra step before checking the comic, and most people want INSTANT gratification. i'm literally checking 100 other comics every day, so I don't want yours to just go on my 'eh, nevermind' list.

>>82943649
always a butt to write on, that angel
angel's arm is pretty short in panel 1 actually. remember even if she never would, she has to be able to reach her cooch

also i'm just realizing the vertical spacing in your text is terrible. anyone more experienced wanna let dewd know the name of that setting?

4th panel: their* (you got it right in the 7th though)
5th panel: tongue*
oh shit, the return of licky, my favorite anna moment
and this confused ambiguous sexism is making me laugh.
aand the last panel was genuinely original. this is a good one dude. i'm laughin. watch rocosho's right arm though, the left arm has the elbow at the right spot but the right one has grown extra length whilst bending. you do that sometimes

Also, since you seem really self-conscious about your art being terrible, let me show you this.

On the left is the very first weeb drawing I ever did. On the right is the qt I posted last night.

Very few people are born with real talent. The rest of us earn the skills through practice. We were all terribad when we started.

Don't give up, senpai.

WIP of the cover page

the 3 characters on the left are placeholders i haven't finished their designs but they will probably look similar i just wanted to give everyone a place in the cover

also i decided to change my tripcode but that's not important

FUN FACT: Robin was named with this joke in mind 12 years ago, despite the fact that the restaurant only started using that jingle 6 years ago. i'm that good

so I didn't mean to dwell on the cruddiness of the masquerade this long but I couldn't help it. i don't want to make Ryou sound cool or clever, he's just kind of feeling Frasiery having played the same role for so many years, and he's getting sick of the cliches. that's why he's-a-cookin'-a-somethin'-up in this here last major story arc (though god knows how many more i'll cram into its interstitial spaces, when it's done, i'm pretty much done)

special thanks to >>82581693 which I'm pretty sure was Earthfield.

It's always a good/bad feeling to have as an artist. It shows that you are improving and also that you too agree that you used to suck ass

Wierd that you're not getting more comments, this one is real good. The fight with the shapeshifter and tentacle-girl is a BIT hard to follow, but still nicelly done.

>>82913422
What's most important is that we knew where the scene takes place; you should always have a background early in the page (unless of course you're narrating a scene in which the character's location is supposed to be revealed at the end). It's rare for me not to draw backgrounds unless the panel's focus is a character's face; that page is fine.

>>82917868
There's definitelly Anime influence on mine, I'm sure everybody can tell.

>>82939995
If you want to deliver something exceptional, it'll help to have memorable expériences or at least read a lot of books (not only fiction books).

Obviously whatevr you write will be more fantastic than what you've experienced (unless you're doing SoL), but even relativelly plain experiences from something like traveling or camping can give a bit more flavor to your comic.

>>82933598
I can barelly keep up with my page schedule. But upsating the map I think has a bit more charm; I plan to change the style of the map after this arc to make it a little clearer.

>>82938640
I think it comes from the association some might make to the European Salamander

>>82950576
hmm.. yeah fire and coldblooded critters do go hand in hand, since they have to heat themselves up via absorption
but i'm willing to bet this is just something someone labeled randomly once in some modern media
also no i don't really see anime influence in your art. on the contrary.. if it resembles anything it's 80s cartoons from the era when almost any country might be a co-production, but especially germany, italy, and canada

Yeah, my fight scenes are a bit rusty. One of my personal goals was to shave down page count. Part of the learning process ended up involving drawing WAY too many panels per page. So I was trying to swing it the other way and well... you can kind of see some of the results. But there are some pages I did really like. That's one of them, but I don't blame you if it's not as coherent as it could have been.

I love how you magically draw everything in square shapes, the tees, the buildings, fences, people, the travel van, the panels, i love it! i wish i had a gimmicky style like that

>>82940216

wow you have no taste, i completely dissagree

i mean if you walked in on your sister with a broken arm with a bone hanging out standing over a dead guy with his brains and dick hanging out iiiiiii think you would have more to say than, "eh, whens the next thing going to happen in my life, nothing really to say about his moment but meh, whatever, next!"

>>82950782
Well, on one hand I AM glad it it doesn't look straight up anime since I was trying to get aways from the style I used in my mid-late-teens. tough I think there are some little things remained here and there.

>>82951104
Don't get me wrong, I still think those pages looks very good as a whole. Them being a bit hard to follow was a rather minor complain and due mainly to several panels being quite narrow.
That page I'm responding to looks great; gives that Tokyo Ghoul or Parasyte feel, which are two of my all time favorite manga

Really as far as action scènes go, these are some of the better ones I've seen ITTs; though I'm also a sucker for "bunch of tentacles clasing against eachother at high speed"

Thanks man im going to read the crap out of your comic tonight!

Do any of you put memes into your comics?

>>82953344
No

>>82953344
if you do, consider suicide

Anons, I'd love to read your stuff, so for the love of God include a link in your posts.

>>82951942
Anon, the stuff on the right with the simple "screentones" are much better than the stuff you liked with the shitty degrade. The line-art-only your friend liked may be even better, maybe you should use the screentones more sparingly, with lighter shades of grey and less variation in general.

But then, your prob is quite the opposite. Your thin line animu coloring style is awful. By that I mean not only are your paintings ugly, generic, with bad color palette and lineart, but also, look at the deformed face of the pink haired girl, the askewed loli's hand holding the sword... THIS lack of draftsmanship masked by colors and effects look like bad DA tier, your comics however look great.

The drawings in your comic look like they were made by someone who understands anatomy and 3D form, who knows how to use lineweight, is confortable with it and chose to apply these principles to a manga style, yet your colored drawings are flat generic animu shit that look like they were made by someone copying images off a how to draw manga magazine.

>>82953344
Don't do it anon, I was just playing a flash game on kongregate, and it was pretty good, the art was beautiful... but it had a bunch of "not bad" "ffuuuu" in text, and then the boss was a rage face.
It might look like a good idea when these memes are popular and you want to be part of the group, you want to get an easy laugh... but they get old, and they get old fast. You don't want that in your portifolio.

>>82953611
Holy shit. These are all opposite to what I think/choose, but every sentence is still noted! I have been thinking for awhile now actually, that maybe my eyes aren't really used to the things I make. I'm used to reading professional stuff done with real manga tools, so I have been ehh-ing at my paint tool sai "screentones". Many of my idols also use dark tones and blacks like the pics on the left part (they do that because they are also lazy), so as you can see, I imitated, as usual.
>with lighter shades of grey and less variation in general
Okay, I can get behind this.
>sparingly
Yep, it did looked cluttered, yes?
>But then, your prob is quite the opposite.
Hahaha! I love it! Thanks for this! I'll take note and try to work around my color palletes, and put more effort again. Weird things happen. I swear when I draw as lineart, they look fine, but when I got to the latter stages, that's the only time I realize something's wrong. Often, I even have to transfer the drawing from my netbook to my phone. There are some errors I only see when I'm on my phone, and when it's already too late. Idk what's going on.
>your comics however look great.
Don't be kind. I needed that critic.

>The drawings in your comic look like they were made by someone who understands anatomy and 3D form
I... actually don't read anatomy, sorry! I just make projections about what the height and weight should be. and the ones I did in comic are made from thick scribbles. Here's how I usually did:
Colored: Scribbles -> rough sketch -> polish sketch -> thin linearting
Comic: Scribbles -> polished
They were born from thick squiggly lines that I "chiseled" with erasor tool until it looked good in my eyes. Sounds stupid, right? That's why I get so shocked when I read these: >>82932578 and >>82932815

I just got my hands on an japanese anatomy book. Hopefully this helps.

>>82954739
Nedroid-tier popularity.
I'm thinking of writing a comedy webcomic

>>82954759
Well, Nedroid has exactly one reason why people like it.

It's funny.

It's got one of the best batting averages in webcomics because the guy doesn't post anything unless he's actually GOT something, and he's a funny guy who works with a lot of other funny guys like KC Green, Cristopher Hastings and Brian Clevinger.

So, find funny people, observe them, dissect the funny and do a shit ton of funny.

And remember that it's taken Nedroid nine years to get to where it is today.

>>82954701
A lesson is learned but the damage is irreversible.

We all know repressed virgins write the best, most depraved erotica, and by that logic asocial shut-ins write the most gripping and beautiful stories about the outside world.

Updated my comic, spent almost entirety out of my day offs backing up old drawings on my blogs because a bunch of my friends just got their blog deleted. It spooked me. I don't want to have to do this ever again, so I'll be maintaining a time stamp archive from now on, this is feeling too much like work...

Now onto the new page, and I guess back to my day job.

"pillar".

>something's gone terribly wrong
I know there was a lot of debate previously over whether it needed changing, but I really feel like this phrasing reads a lot more naturally than the previous version

One thing - I do feel like the faces of the far two women are a bit too prominent to be left completely featureless in the last panel.
