It's not a good conversation starter to insult the person you're trying to talk to, Anon.
If you wanted it done to your specifications, you could have done it yourself in the 12 hours between the death of the last thread and this one.

>>83179323
Shut up, idiot. It's bad form to not have /hyw/ in the thread title.

hmm...

>>83179439
Virtually every /hyw/ has had /hyw/ in the thread title. There are people who search catalog and archives specifically for "/hyw/." You are doing them a disservice by not putting /hyw/ in the thread title.

So, someone way back in the day posted a bit of advice about how a piece of spaghetti could substitute for a nib in a tablet stylus. If you're still around, thanks, that's just saved me a bunch of money.

>>83163090
Much as I hate it because I've already spent a lot of time on that panel, you've got a point.
I can't really add more panels because I don't want the strip getting too tall, but I'll try to figure something out.
As for how long I spend on these, I generally spend between 8 and 20 hours per page once I've sketched it (you'd think the strips would be significantly faster than the full pages, but I haven't found that to be the case). I actually time stamp all my wips that I post.

>>83180074
I give it >>>/u/ out of 10.

>>83180020
Makes sense, I guess. I just ctrl-f "how's".
I'll keep that in mind when making threads in the future.

>>83180082
While I know what you were going for with the visual effect, itl looks like she's crying blood, or alternatively shooting lasers very awkwardly out of her eyes.

>>83180116
pls no senpai
I want to stay

>>83180158
Yeah, like I said I'm looking for alternate solutions to that panel.

>>83180255
Have the black chick's face in the panel parallel to the blonde's, looking downwards and equally shocked. You're trying to put too much into only a half-panel and it doesn't really need that much detail to convey, anyway.

>>83180335
That probably will be the solution, but I feel like I should try out some other stuff as well, first. (that was actually my first idea, and there's probably a degree of wounded pride involved in my resistance towards going back to it. Gonna just have to force myself through it, I guess.)

>>83180481
Having her state that skeggy is wearing pants ruins the joke.

>>83180074
>unstable improvement/regression
Where would you improve towards, exactly?
Every one of these look like they're doing exactly what they're intended to.

quick /hyw/! post a pic of one of your character s along with a cool quote they say!

>>83180564
Yeah, I'm not going back to that. Just the half-panel.

>I can't really add more panels because I don't want the strip getting too tall, but I'll try to figure something out.
I see, I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful. The only fix I can think of is to narrow the panels a bit, leave the reaction shots focusing on the eyes only... I don't really know if this lazy solution works, but it's the best I can come up with while I procrastinate to draw my own already behind schedule webcomic.

>>83180847
That's not a bad solution either. Thanks!
Now get back to your work, I'm already procrastinating enough for the both of us.

are you trolling me? I cant tell. Is this the American sarcasm? Pardon.

I just want my shit to stop looking dA-tier so when I eventually flood people with my gay girls on an actual webcomic site, I'll have a visual vantage point. I want to be able to keep up with art skills of other asians in asian sites. 1st is ayy lmao. I had good looks on 2nd and 3rd, but had chickenscratches. Shat on myself 4th and especially 5th. <- V. Bad quality. Utterly disgusting. 6th is my current hope.

If there's a better word for it, better presentation, I think. Cleaness too. Things have to pop up more to grab more readers. I'm working on making my drawings distinguishable from other people's work. It has to stand out and be very likeable. Pic not related.

>>83180481
Hey, this is what I meant in the last comment.
I think the "laser eyes" don't work in the style of your comic. But I think the version on the right would be the easiest way to put emphasis on her looking at the pants.
I like Left best, which is more similar to your old concept

But I get not wanting to change an entire panel after you've spent so long on the page already

The blue robe is really boring to look at because there's not enough difference between light and dark. Add some highlights or make the dark parts nearly black.

Put the belt up higher. Right now it's below crotch level, I'd suggest taking it up to the height of the top of her wrist bands at least. It would also be a good idea to have it stand out more from the robe by changing the color..

The hat doesn't feel centered on her head.

>>83181128
No sarcasm, I honestly don't see the flaws you're talking about.

>>83181422
We must have very big differences in standards.

>>83181481
For comparison, could you show an example of what you're aiming for?

o-okay.. a WIP

>>83180847
psst
the dotted eye lines should have the same spacing as the pupils, i.e. the bottom one is further back than the top one
and dark pink is not the best color for them. i suggest white with black underneath for contrast

also i should have said this forever ago but if she was showing more cuff in the last panel it would be clearer. but at this point you've done more than enough reworking

>>83181076
just design feedback right? because i'd be happy to give you a little anatomy feedback too.
a fox witch is prty cool. i like her tall narrow-brimmed hat, that's a combo you don't see often, and it suits her perky upswept hairstyle.
are you sure you're not gonna get sick of drawing all that jewelry? i guess you could have her get robbed if you do
the purple inner lining of the robe makes its outer layer look a little too dull by comparison, i'd give her belt its own color to separate it out. maybe the same color as her choker. that'd break it up nicely.

^ More on Weibo. I'll get raped the moment I step there. The places I only passed EZ PZ are philippins and thailand. I have to watch out for Ratana Satis though. Buyong is EZ PZ. I have no pics of them with me, sorry. But you know what I'm talking about right? Insane people.

>>83181718
Sure you can give me anatomy or any other feedback you want. I appreciate what you have given me so far, thanks!
I don't mind drawing the jewelry I'm going to put a lot of love into this comic as soon as I get the character design done.

So I keep getting these complains about how I need to be more sex positive even if I keep adding more and more rape. I don't get it.

>>83181128
I don't understand. Your art is already peak anime, but is that not your goal? You gotta help us out here, what do you want more of in your art: abstraction? Realism? Detail? Technical finish? Dynamic perspectives? Halftones?

here check this out
first as that other anon mentioned, waist is way too low. gotta think about that ribcage.
secondly, the elbows should go down to the ribcage, no lower. you've made a common mistake of the bent arm being longer than the unbent.
but even without the need for the legs to be longer, their shape is a little inconsistent and off. don't copy these redlines exactly because you've gotta put her waist higher and then think of the knee, but basically just don't fall into the trap so many furry artists do of trying to start with a human leg and add. you've gotta start with a fox leg and then make changes, or it won't look balanced or bend properly.
>>83181805
don't listen to anyone who uses buzzwords. not that they're automatically wrong, but they automatically have no perspective.

>>83181720
I'm no connoisseur of manga-style stuff and I don't read a single word of Chinese (assuming that's Chinese), but putting those characters into Google Images or what looked like Weibo's search bar, or googling the name Ratana Satis didn't show me any art that looked notably better on a technical level than what you've showed us here.

Oh man those arms were giving so much trouble and I didn't know why. I am new to drawing digitigrade legs as well. I didn't know they go out that far. Thanks a lot man, will you around in this thread? I will follow up on your critique but I have some other stuff to do today first.

>>83181821 I'm confused. Are you also >>83180566 ?

If you can't see how I regress in some comics then AYY lmao. Good job baiting me senpai. My shit are lifeless especially 4th. 5th look like shit. I'm trying to avoid that with 6th. Getting real tired typing this again and again.


So far, I'm not really having much problem. Not like last time where I'm panicking about tones and thickness here. As of now, I'm just working on tweaking my drawings to look distinguishable from other's work and be drawings that are very likeable to people. <-- that sentence is v. important to what I'm working on, but wasn't really in that improv/regres pic.
So far, I'm just that guy with overly designed lesbian hairstyles. I'm looking at women's fashion and accessories (so my girls will be /fa/) and will also be doing tests on tweaking anatomy for stylization even if I have to sacrifice what little anatomy skill I have left. I'm working on distinguishability. That improv/regres pic only shows how I fucked up from trying to change my lines and tones.

The gems are hidden inside. The chinese have distinct style. The korean are killers in coloring. The thai are underdogs. The philippins draw on paper and EZ to defeat.

for you, anon

and yeah a lot of people try putting the thigh straight down in digitigrade legs, but that just straight up can't work. you'd have your legs way out behind you like a dog's rear end, when what you really want is your knees pointing forward like a cat's rear end. or if you've ever seen a kangaroo standing up.. shit's crazy

Move the apostrophe away from the door and stick it in "won't".
> The door won't budge, Becks!

The door could be higher up; have the top of the door level with the board. You could also have the pupils turned to look at the door in panel 2, rather than continuing to look at the teacher.

You need to get Cintiq or any display tablet if you're planning to compete with the top dogs.

Most of DEM NIPPON digital artists use them. During the 'post your work space' meme you can actually count the normal tablet users in one hand.

I do understand the obsessive drive to be perfect; I get the same "but this is already fine!" responses myself, now and then. But if you pay too much attention to it, it's likely to blind you to bigger issues while you obsess over things that are already working well enough.

>>83183628
My plan isn't to touch the Japanese. That's suicide lol. My plan is to hit on the smaller communities. I'm building a big gallery of /u/ oneshots (No joke, I'll have to get ready no less than 100 pages of /u/ content) that I'll flood on some more minor asian /u/ places. Last thread, I posted about how I came from a country where if you produce something, your people who likes your stuff will get very proud (because muh minority) and it gets spread like wildfire. If I did that there and have advantage (story or art), it'll get passed around to other smaller countries. Like how spanish /u/ comics make it here. Then "leakage" to... ah! Let's just say my plan is kike-ish. I'll do this, because I was able to pull this off before, but not with comics (despite having tons of errors like an anon once said). I flooded a small community with so many things, I was fast in uploading and uploaded by the batch, the wildfire happened, my shit actually went to Chinese places (which intimidated me), then ????????????, it got to bigger places. My stuffs got no less than +50,000 views and I got a monopoly on a certain place until I had to leave. You might think having monopoly on one area will be good especially if you plan to bank on it, let me tell you, it's torture and will be no fun. This time, I'll just do it to gain enough readers/establish. I'm at 20 something pages yet so I'll have plenty time to work on it.

>>83183707
I understand what you mean, but I also want to git gud.

Im off

>>83183628
Having switched from something cintiq-like back to a normal tablet, I can safely say that it's had absolutely no impact on the quality of my art. In fact, I sort of prefer the normal tablet because with the display tablet, my hand would tend to get in the way of seeing what I was drawing.

>>83185932
Talk about a no-sell, jeez. You'd think she would at least have the decency to stop talking with that leak in her lung.

so i was looking at the main cast of the comic im drawing and if i classify the characters by their ages

>2 of them are 20
>5 of them are around 15-16
>and the last 3 are aruound 13-14

so i was thinking how i can make the last 2 groups look a bit more different on how they look and act

i started looking at cartoon characters that have the same age

and i mean just look at this.Marco Steven, Danny and Morty all have 14 years and all of them look and act extremely different, specially steven, i always tought he was like 10 because he doesn't seem to get a lot of stuff. marco and danny handle things a lot better while morty is spaghetti most of the time

and then there's dipper that guys is 12 but acts like an semi immature adult most of the time


it looks like a lot of people have different approach about how people of this age group look act, so which one would you consider the best for something like my comic that is mainly going to be about adventures in different fantasy settings where there is really not going be any kind of adult character to supervise them most of the time

>>83186955
people just vary. all you can do is make them come off the way you want them to come off

>>83186882
>>83185932
Actually now that I think about it, it might be cool to have the laughter in the last two panels coming out of the wound to reinforce the weirdness.

>>83185932

It would help I think if you had "action lines" in the background as opposed to simple screen-tone gradient

Alright man is this close to what you were talking about? I redlined her proportions so you can see better where I'm coming from. It looks very rough, but keep in mind her fur is factored in too and it adds some weight. Can I be presumptuous and ask you to redline for me? As a final note, I wanted her waist to look elongated, I don't want her having perfect human proportions because she is not human. Thanks for your help anonymous.

>>83186882
Yep, that'd do it.
>>83187487
I always forget about action lines as a background element.

>>83187851
well this is better, and I can understand wanting the elongated torso look.. but keep this in mind: right now she can't wipe her own ass. or attend to anything else downstairsy.. so what most people do is give equally elongated arms if they go with a long torso, then they just look like they have gross stubby legs. so really it.. doesn't work having a super long torso. i mean look at it.

>changing it from "cutest" to "best"

Its been a while since I tried to post my shit here and I'm hearing something about these theads going to shit.

Can somebody red pill me on what's going on?

Too many ''Loomis'' comments? Because /co/ in general is dismissive about webcomic artists that are not pro levels of good but I don't know about these threads

>>83189188
Shitposting
Arguing.
Little art.

>>83189188
Some sort of drama bleedover from the discord chat. Content still gets feedback, so you can just ignore any shitposts and you'll be fine.

>>83189188
Mostly revolves around a dude who recently stopped using his trip but his posting style is obvious to decipher. He's one of those guys who fights back against all criticism and seemingly doesn't want to get better, to the detriment of the threads.

But the threads are a lot better because since he switched to 100% anonymous posting he stopped posting his art, leading to fewer critiques on him leading to him attacking posters less frequently, leading to better threads!

>>83189281
The drama started here in /hyw/, and in the Skype chat.

Finished the first part of a quest yesterday

Good point. I will make her arms longer then. I'm not trying to hide beind "muh style" either I just want that long slim look. Thanks anon.

>>83189474

here's your attention shitty comic anon

just one more suggestion though, try elongating the legs too, so it's long arms, legs, and torso.. and see how that looks

Jesusfuck can't a person ask a simple question without having retards trying to turn it into some debate about trolling or some shit??

4chan is not one person

>>83187851
Different anon here.
As it is here, her legs are half her total height, which IS 'human proportions'; giving her an elongated torso and comparatively shorter arms on a human form throws everything out of whack.

>>83188462
If that's what you're aiming for, note that the cats have long bodies and comparatively short arms and legs.

Take a look at Nick from Zootopia - he has an elongated torso (and long arms), but his legs are quite short instead (note also that he has a plantigrade stance).

>>83189596
its scribbs, there's no other need for explanation

he's been a blight on skype as well and here and some other places i'm sure

Not that I've seen.
At most, people will stop commenting at people that don't seem receptive to criticism, but it's not like people will shit on somebody for being inexperienced.

thing is, these threads are shit but they only exist because the drama keeps them afloat

you take out all the drama posts and this thread would be on page 10 in an hour

i've seen it happen before

>>83188861
Her mouth in panel 1 has always bugged me. I've looked at it a whole hell of a lot and only just now did I realize it's supposed to ber teeth at the top and an wide open mouth with no bottom teeth visible. It just looks weird and I couldn't figure out what was supposed to be going on until literally a second ago. For the longest time I thought she just had a very big bottom lip.

how do I join the discord chat?

Ok, so here are some of my first ''for real'' pages.

I made these a while ago and I started to try my best on correcting shit instead of re-drawing everything just so I can practice more using my tablet, so I know that some stuff looks bad regardless of corrections...

Basically is a slice of life comic that is about about stories/fiction/books/comics/movies/urban legnds/etc, about how stories help us grow into the people that we are today, helps us understand the world around us better and all that stuff.

I think the sequence so far is good. Lots of nice detail work.

what does it take to be successful @ webcomics?

>>83194589
Besides the obvious "be/have a halfway decent writer" and "be/have a halfway decent artist?" The will to whore yourself out like your next meal depended on it.

Most webcomics die in obscurity. The "big" ones are advertised all over creation until they no longer have to advertise it.

I have about 2 chapters and the beginning of the 3rd one written as of now.

I'm currently trying to find a nice artstyle that's quick to draw, since making it the same way I make other oneshot pictures would take way too long and make me loose interest.

>>83195205
yeah that's how it goes, you can't draw the same in your comic as you do for big long care-put-in art.
this is already pretty elaborate though, are you okay with this level? it's satisfactory to the max.

143KB, 546x192px

>>83195205
Same boat.

But for your shading, you might wanna consider just giving it the ol' Mignola treatment. Making the areas of black touch the edge of the figure and having it be a nicely defined mass of shadow.

As it is now, it looks fine, but it's a bit busy and non-committal. Like you're trying to balance "deep shadows cast on the figure" with "I drew the nice linework, now look at it" and something's gotta give.

So I'd suggest just having the shadows be a single mass or so and figuring that part out in the pencils. You can spice it up with little lines here and there to hint at shapes, but that's about it. Otherwise you'd be figuring out a whole figure, inking it, then covering half of it so nobody sees. So if you can cast half a figure in shadow and just make it solid black: then you've got a nice figure, nice technique, and it takes half the time.

>>83195550
really, the shadows not-quite-reaching-the-edge only makes sense for something shiny

>>83195205
Wait until ColdFusion is in the thread. He intentionally draws shitty when he is actually a talented artist.

>>83193207
>always go right for the mouth.
As an owner of three dogs; yes. It is a horrible cosmic constant. On every earth in the multiverse. It is like getting a banana-slug dropped on your face.
>if Bea and Erin would just TALK
There is a very clear schism between the two, and a failure of communication is just a constant issue. They could use therapy, or some extreme distance. Time stuck together under the same roof will only continue to breed the discontent.

I was thinking about it. I generally don't like how restrictive I've been with MWHQ and would want to have more situations that give anyone playing a lot more freedom.

It's a pretty nondescript face, good for protagonists that the audience is supposed to identify with.

I used to have some really edgy ideas. At some point I matured a bit and stopped having those. Sometimes you have to abandon it entirely, or rework it into a better shape. Of course that depends on the actual ideas or characters.

Little practice for the next and final crossover.
This one was really tough compared to any crossover I made before, including Stones of Anarchy. I felt having to balance my style with the original, and keep them easy to recognize was really difficult. I did some fuck ups on the ink that if I decide to colour this will have to be fixed, but I can blame the marker for it, for once.
Anyway, I'll have the rest inked at home, and then I'll decide if I should add colours.

I'm gonna do a thorough, scathing review of one of your guys' comics. It's gonna be a massacre, and VERY controversial. This is the only advance warning I will give. See you on the battlefield.

I'm sorry if I came off as rude, but the wobblyness of such a central element, especially the way the hilt doesn't line up with the blade, is throwing off everything else in the image. The long, straight lines of a sword is one of the main reasons they look cool.

>>83213578
Anon, I'm not going to comment on the overall drawing, but I have to say your inking is disgusting. Your lines are wobbly, and the lineweight is awkward and so arbitrary it would be better if you had uniform lines. Look up examples of inking and lineweight.

>>83214134
I like it. I tried to do it on my own, but came out as toy-ish

>>83214149
My hand shakes too much, so I end up fixing a lot of stuff digitally. But I agree that I use a really arbitrary method for inking, that I don't think it will change anytime soon. I try to practice while still doing my thing, and add the stuff that I can manage to grasp.
I don't want to stop doing what I do just to practice, as much as I need it.

>>83214161
>I like it. I tried to do it on my own, but came out as toy-ish
Well, it's a sword inspired by the exaggerated shapes of low-bit CRPG sprites, with the wide tip and all, so having it looking a bit toy-like might be appropriate.

>>83214063
Are you taking requests?
I'd love for some feedback on chapter 1 of Carrion Girls so I don't fuck up as hard in chapter 2.

>>83214254
I was not planning on reviewing Carrion Girls but I'll see if I can fit it into my schedule.

>>83214419
It's West Tree isn't it?

>>83214161
What program do you use do draw? For shaky hands I recommend you use manga studio, and crank brush stabilizing to 15. I think paint tool sai also has this feature, but for comics I like manga studio better.
But anon, if you keep drawing stuff on your confort zone you will never get much better, if you really want to get good, practice is not "just practice" it's not an optional thing you can do to pass time, it's mandatory.

>>83214063
>Controversial
So it's one people actually like.

>>83214063
Are you popular? Will it be a good way to earn some views? It would suck to get a review of a comic that has no readers, from a reviewer who has no readers...

>>83214516
If it does turn out to be west tree, all I can say is please dont.

First of all I think the one review you did was good enough. And second it would be kind of rude to me if you were gonna make an article to the caliber your talking without my permission first.

But if it isnt, please ignore me and go ahead.

>>83214533

Or it's one people actually hate

>>83214660
Dewd, no one needs your permission to review your comic. Don't be The Room guy.

>>83214528
For the time being, I'm still drawing on paper, my shaking on digital cranks up to eleven, so it's still not something I'd like to dive in just yet.
As for the comfort zone, I agree with what you say, but improvement is not and end goal for me, I try new things from time to time, people who saw my work when I started to post here knows it changed, but I do that at my own pace, because this is still a hobby for me.
And I'm not brushing this off with my comment, I know how much time I can really put on my drawings, and my objective is getting things done, even if I have to cut some corners.

>>83214660
I'm not Brian Richmond.

>>83214707
Then how would being harsh on it be controversial? Use your head.

>>83214726
My hands shake a fair bit too, but even when I'm inking with a brush it's not something that affects me too badly. Of course I can't speak for everyone, but the most important thing for me is to just be deliberate with my lines and make sure any major shifts in their weights is done by design rather than chance. Helps to draw from the elbow and shoulder rather than the wrist as much as possible - and obviously you're going to get some contours in your lines when inking with a quill or brush - but the biggest step to mitigating these problems is knowing how to use your weights. Practice when to emphasize a shadow, closeness to the viewer, contours of a shape, all that stuff. Make sure to pick the right tool for the job too, if you're working traditionally, but that should be pretty easy.

>>83214721
Well, I know I can't absolutely stop him from doing that, it's really just a personal request because I'm already struggling to get people to read my comic. I don't need some reviewer slandering my name, for a lack of a better term. I would just appreciate it if he would hold off on it, at least until the books have been out for a few months. But still, all I say is please.

But that's not my decision, it's his.
>>83214895
Yeah, I know, but I wasn't using your post to respond to, but just as a starting point to begin my post so people know what I'm talking about.

>>83214956
I have a hard time breaking the habit of drawing from the wrist, it's excruciating.
I'll try drawing from the elbow, but this one is already done so as always, I'll leave that for next time. Your input is really appreciated.

I'm hitting the sack for today, I'll come back later.

>>83215007

Writing an in depth scathing review of it doesn't seem like it would accomplish much; I mean - not to say you're necessarily bad (to be fair, I haven't read your comic.) but it's not like everyone in these threads is calling you a visionary or a genius. So I don't see how reviewing your comic would be controversial.

>>83214950

What if it's praising a comic we think of as bad, and calling everything else shit.

>>83215132
It's easiest to get in the practice of it for long, smooth lines. I'm still pretty awful and draw most short strokes from the wrist myself, but in terms of line quality it doesn't usually seem to make much of a difference on those. Definitely feels like it's worth working on in the long run though.

>>83215147
There are what? 3 or 4 comics that most thread goers like. The Green Knight, Carrion Girls, Miss Melee and The Sisters. Those would be the most controversial to pick one. If we are dealing with non regular posters it opens up to the possibility of people like Harro.

Nigga it ain't even some crazy level of artistic talent, it's very simple art with a high level of detail. It's not like this is fucking Moebius or something.

It's good, but anyone with enough dedication can reach that level.

You misunderstand. It's not basic, it's simple.
Anyone can draw like that with enough practice, but the level of detail and composition is impressive. It's far from basic.

>I actually got a C- in a drawing class.
So?

Listen, I didn't apply to art school because I was afraid of what a worthless artist I was. I put all my chips on an English degree...and I failed for a whole year before finally getting my shit together. And after I got my degree, you know what I realized?

It wasn't worth shit!
I still wanted to make comics, and an English degree wasn't going to get me a job I liked. So I got a regular ass job that sucked, and from there I got a really NICE job that actually makes me enough to sustain myself, and now I have a 40 hour work werk and I STILL.
WORK.
ON MY ART.

If you wanna fucking draw, do it. Nobody is incapable of learning, some of us are just too fucking stupid to look at our work critically and learn from our mistakes.

aaactually in her case it's just Trunks. she's based on a friend of mine who liked to roleplay as a character who was wee tiny little girl Trunks, so when the time came to age her up I went nearly full Mirai Trunks, until making a few modifications.

Earthy isn't really getting better over time, but he IS trying to expand. you can see when you look at his older stuff how he moves from 'confident but stagnant' to 'experimental but needs work' over time. he's doin shiz in his own way.
remember when he first started posting in here and blonde girl just had these super heavy eyelids and just overall a look that wasnt working? he was trying something different, and he's moved past that. i think there's nothing wrong with just letting people experiment. i know i wish i'd experimented more.

>>83217297
Your friends are fucking faggots. But now I kinda see how you turned out the way you did.

>>83215303
she isnt standing out very well, but I'm really only saying that because I've seen people say it before about other comics. I don't think in real life people just stand out from backgrounds. that's kind of the point.

>>83216466
the physical act of writing is definitely easier than other things, but it still has its challenges
it's a lot worse when you have great talent in something like sculpture and simply don't own the materials or have the engineering training required to make your sculpture defy gravity while you're working on it

>>83217371
it was fun and kawaii and we all had a good time and i miss it every goddamn day.
mizu's daughter is based on another friend of ours who played another cute little girl with pink hair who was her friend. i wasnt even thinking of that when i gave her a redhaired husband but it worked out fantastically
i havent seen her in like 12 years. probably more.

Well, it's kind of hard to separate the two things - Toriyama's style defined a generation of fantasy with his contributions to Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger.

>>83217729
indeed! but I was actually pretty ignorant of RPGs outside of just.. things I saw in other spritecomics. so most of my videogame inspiration at least in the early days was zelda and paper mario. then it was finalfantasy and chronotrigger sprites, and then most of the rest was random anime shit.

and the initial review in question was pretty scathing but he took it really well, like a champ.

anyway i seriously doubt this is the same one that reviewed ya earlier dewd, since he's busy, has said he has a lot of others to review first, and specifically said in his review he doesn't feel like going back and reading it more in depth to do a re-review. this is someone else, someone who thinks it's fun to just say 'controversy' and then nothing else, and leave people to squirm. i wouldn't worry either way.

I imagine he's talking about something like this one. I mean, it's your business, but I remember thinking it looked exponentially better than everything else I'd seen from you and being puzzled at why you didn't incorporate stuff like the lineart style and facial anatomy in your comic.
