You should change your trip to The Talent since you're one of the very few regulars in these threads who can actually draw well. I disn't get to say it in the last thread but it's nice to have someone who will actually losten to suggestions and improve, that ladder and the owl's wing in your last WIP really looked a lot better in the end.

I'm really getting a rango vibe from your comic. Looking forward to see more lizards and other more ragged characters (if that's where you're going anyway)

>>84127343
Not to be nitpicky but I think that sidekick demon looked a lot better when you had that lumpy design for its limbs instead of making it look like bones.

Other than that, great page.

Name all of the other ones.

I like to draw traditionally but recently got access to a scaner so I want to experiment with digital adjustments a little.

>>84127728
It's photoshop. Someone gave me this so I couldn't tell ya. I used to use Fira Alpaca though.

Posting my crappy thumbnails for my latest concept about a prince who can control animals with his mind and goes on adventures.

I used to do only scripts (both full-sripts and plot-scripts) for my comics but I decided to do thumbnails for the first four chapters of this project (about 70 pages) just as a visual reminder to keep the idea fresh.
Sometimes I'm baffled that I've been doing comics for years always in search for an artist to collaborate with
Another one fo the pile, haha.

Awesome! You need to do a fully-fledged chapter if you're not allready working on one.

If you're doing a webcomic that thic demon girl mc will get you a lot of views, trust me.

Oh, you should read Jigokuren (love in the hell) as research if you haven't allready. It's not for everyone but personally I like to read some classics depending on the niche / genre I'm currently writing in.

I just started checking it out it's a little strange reading from left to right but I love it. The iPod loin cloth was just fantastic. And I'm super into the landscapes I didn't even think of lava pools. Thanks for the recommendation for sure!

Cool! I really liked that movie, and took a bit of inspiration from its setting.

>Looking forward to see more lizards and other more ragged characters (if that's where you're going anyway)

Yes, this next chapter will be a bit more focused on Maude (the possum). Her dress is ragged because it actually gets torn up a bit in the comic during a chase scene

Here's the full cover, (sized down and cropped).
I took out the mine cart in the back because I felt there was too much going on up in the top area, and I was gonna add the title up there anyway, so there's no real point. What do you guys think?

I'm aware you can see a bit of the pencils lines still in some areas, so I'll do a thorough cleanup before I slap on some colors.

Hello anons.

/tg/ visiting here and seeking guidance.

I have a story, characters, and a small audience for a prospective web comic. I also have the better part of dozen stories written.

I am interested in talking to anyone with knowledge of the web comic world on feasibility for this project and especially artists, seeing as I can't draw.

Halp.

Now I know I'm in the right place

1. I'm interested to talking to people who have experience in webcomic publishing and in particular startup. Know of anyone?

2. If anyone wants to read the link I'm interested in hearing about viability.

3. I'd be very interested in hearing about art styles you might recommend and in particular who might be good to talk to about this sort of thing.

4. I might be interested in hearing from artists generally if there's interest.

I have absolutely no idea what I am doing so any pointers are enormously appreciated, all I know is I have a story I want to share.

Thank you both for the complements, they mean a lot to me! I find one of the things that drives me to complete a chapter is getting to make the chapter covers! I like to read up about a lot of occult and different religions in my spare time and work in into my art. I was hoping for it not to come off too 'edgy' in a sense, so I'm glad you like it!

>>84132321
im not that anon but if you are looking for an artist that will draw all your stuff it is going to be something very difficult unless you have money and a good way to stay in contact


i think it would be way easier for you to just learn how to draw and read all the links we have in the Scrub Authors goodie bag so you can make your comic just the way you want

That's really cool working stuff like that into your art. I didn't find it edgy at all just neat and pretty damn adorable.

Also I doodled up some landscape sort of things. I'm aiming for a fleshy stone mix. I was kind of thinking of the later parts of DOOM 3 once the facility starts getting all the strange growths.

I'm interested in talking to artists with a view to paying one. I'm more than happy to do so or to come to an arrangement where profits if any are split, I just want to sound this out.

>>84133256
Additionally you do not want to see me draw.

just finished episode 2
would love feed back from it. (besides the terrible art)

>>84133256
>profits
I don't think you'll make any. Many webcomics just don't make profit at all or struggle to make one, and while you got a setting, it's as niche as it gets. I'm not an expert, but I assume you could turn it into a webcomic, seeing you got the world and characters AND stories figured out (though you're link is impressive but lack details all around). Just don't expect to collect money from it. As for anything art, I'm kinda in the same position as you so I cant really help.

>>84133344
Suspensful. The art isnt as bad as you say it is. You are clearly interpreting ideas and action, along with some interesting panel shots. Keep it up!

>>84133344
I see for most of your action panels they are just white, have you ever thought about using a solid color thats exciting or fitting the mood? I think white is acceptable in certain situations but if over used it may make it look 'unfinished' if you catch my drift.

>>84133074
Im really diggin the right landscape you have there, Im really excited to see a colored version of those now!

You others better be trying to Git Gud too..

What do you guys this off this guy.
Story- It's a set for practice pages for an up and coming comic. Guys name is Weapon Halberd, A sort of teacher and Gaurdian of the old arts of Sound Body. He fights a main character in his youth.

Also sorry he has no left arm, I'm getting tired i'll post the concept for the pages later. This is just a taste.

Looking good overall, but I feel like there's some anatomical things that are off. Not sure what though. And draw that arm.

>>84133344
It's not that bad with the art. Some panels are way worse than others though. Also, nothing happens ? Except at the end, otherwise it's people talking and running away for a few panels.

>>84133888
Holy shit dat armor boner I cant unsee that...
What my dumbass meant to say was what do you think?
I'm tired as shit dude...
>>84133916

To be honest at the time I made him on spot just to get a feel of attention on the page. Rest of pages are later

>>84133199
Thank you and Just as long as you don't mind me drawing Juniper.
Also I loved the part with her getting excited about the sheep. I work on a small farm and the sheep are just like big fluffy dogs. The way you do the word bubbles to is nice as well changing them up for different dialogue.

>>84133667
Thanks! I really have to get into color I wanna keep it as traditional as possible but haven't invested into to many supplies.

>>84133739
Really like this dude. The scale armor on the upper arm is awesome and in general it's a nice looking set. The big collar looks for sturdy neck protection.

>>84134013

Went out and got myself a scanner; the Visioneer Roadwarrior, for $30. It scans in poor quality, but it's really easy to use, and it's fast. I think as long as I clean and ink it before scanning it should be okay. Before I was just taking pictures with my phone, and it was kind of a hassle.
Overall, I don't recommend it if your comic is big on small details.

Also just gonna casually dump some character designs (top).

>>84132309
Not gonna lie, when I see to be continued in anything comic, art, cartoon and etc.
That song from Jojo: Roundabout plays in my head.
Also do you guys try mixing stuff up in your comics like instead of... to be continued why not "in the next chapter" or "see ya later kid".
Also the empty space in back really doesn't set the mood for reaching out for something, I usually use the background as extra leverage to convey an feeling like an empty, dark room for loneliness or if you want helpless to reach out feeling put em in a long narrow hallway...
Just my opinion

>>84134426
the girls are cute, the dude seems to have subtle proportion issues, and the close-up head... i feel like the far cheek should be reduced more because of the head being turned, or else the facial features being moved further over. like, they're centered despite the head being turned, yknow?

>>84134538
Thanks for the reply! Your attached pic makes for great inspo too.

>>84134578
Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep it note for my future drawings. I start with the eyes and then draw in the jaw/face shape, do you think I should change the order?

>>84134799
professionals would say always get the basic head structure in first, and let it dictate the placement of the features, but I say as long as you keep everything consistent it doesn't matter. It's all a matter of which one you're more reluctant to erase and redo to match the other.. and in that regard i'm with you, keep the eyes i worked so hard on, redo the jaw and cheek.

Hey talked in thread yesterday about development for my webcomic
I've resolved to have the guns and melee weapons be infused with magic or technology to face the people with powers but now I'm trying to figure out how the powers should actually work as well as how to balance them with the exception of certain characters
The webcomic takes place in an alternate universe starting on a world in a country following a group that could be either mercenaries or some sort of guild

>>84135212
not to be a dick but this is even more apparent now than it was then: what the heck are you concerning yourself with? did someone give you an assignment or a challenge something, where you have to make a comic under the vague constraints of 'must have ballistic weapons, melee weapons, and magic powers' ? because for some reason those seem to be your concern, and figuring out how they'll work together, and it sounds as if you have nothing else. no idea of what they would be, or any indication of why you want those in your comic.. and that is literally all there is to your comic at the moment. a need to include three elements of combat.
you're like, putting the cart ahead of the horse when you don't even own a horse or a cart yet but are instead asking yourself what kind of reins you'll use

>>84135212
Well you should figure out what the story is that you want to tell, and then think about how the magic weapons will help you tell your story. If the magic weapons aren't involved in the story, then they're not important and you can ignore them.

You're not designing a video game, you're telling a story.

>>84135829
yeah I mean I've been known to construct stories around cool shit I want to see, but I at least work out the story.. who's using this shit to fight what, for what reason. Then the action scenes can be the backdrop and you can work in the progression of whatever. like Uncharted and shit.

>>84136032
Alright actual advice
Ok well the story is about this group who each have history with the main character forming this team that will expand as the series progresses but basically they just fight criminals and evil organizations building up more into facing enemies that want them dead as the main villain directly caused this event that was meant to kill the main character for this reason that would be explained later but the main character as well as certain others have specific powers varying in ability
I would show my original webcomics that this started with but they suck I showed them here before and everything said about how shit they were was true I still need to develop this more get some people to work with as well as get better at drawing to see how an update schedule could work also I did these webcomics on tumblr because it seemed people would look at them there but it's fucking tumblr so that was another main reason for needing to develop this series but I do post weekly sketches to my art blog still on tumblr until I figure out better constructive and time efficient ways to draw for the internet

>>84136339
Not that anon but I strongly prefer the tactile experience of traditional media. I've worked digitally for years but it just doesn't feel the same - traditional has more control. The downside is you have one shot (but at worse, you just redraw the panel via lightbox.)

i'm chuckling pretty hard. i don't even care about the logic of the store continuing to function, with everyone remaining in line, during and after a robbery.. it's just funny as fuck and reminds me of people i've seen doing the equivalent of playing a slot machine after it just paid out to someone else and is out of money.

>>84136323
it's 4chin. it strips away part of the data in your jpg (not the image part, but the orientation part) because people were known to hide contraband in that data.
i remember i used to take pictures of drawings with my digital camera and it would embed shit in that file, and even later when i computercolored the fuck out of it, it would still have that data. then it'd show up on deviantart and everyone would be like 'whaaat why does it say camera information on this 2d digital drawing'

>>84136455
who are you?

>>84136328
okay so i know not everyone posts the same as they write, but i really hope in the comic itself you use punctuation.
in any case i have no idea what your comic is about now but it sounds like you sure do! so have fun

>>84136481
Well, glad to know it wasn't my retardation. Thanks anon.

>>84128378 here, unless you have lots and lots of luck, break into the real non-web comic industry or are willing to pay money it's impossible to find an artist for your comic online.

You have a much better chance if you're in school (highschool or college) and put up ads shamelessly begging for an artist to help you out.

Sorry for the shoddy picture, I would have preferred to scan it at home and polish the roughness, but the scanner is not working properly, and I'm at work atm. In any case, feel free to destroy this. I fucked up in places I should know better not to.
I will probably make this whole page again, but If I can save any of the panels, I would like suggestions.

>>84137349
Well I like the idea of world building the variety of powers an actual way for the powers to be fair by having their own abilities but a system where like it drains their power or stamina or some shit but also having unexpected moments as well as deaths centering on this one group but also building up the story so parts that happen later get the reader excited to read them when the story gets there also building on lore over time and getting to know each character and how they interact with each situation as well as each other

>>84136217
>>84137318

I wanted to ask again, did I use 'indignation' correctly here?

>>84131745
I love the expressions with the art style and the talking to the worms bit was pretty funny

I guess the only gripe I have is that pacing could have been a little better in chapter 1. It felt kinda rushed at some points, the scenes involving meeting Jacob's family and Jacob talking about Egon the wizard especially.

And I guess this is more personal preference than anything but I kinda hate the font you choose for word bubbles.

Thumbnails for pages 9 to 16. If I keep doing 8 a day I'll have the first 3-4 chapters by the end of next week.

What do you think about the concept, would you read this comic if it had actual art?
I have planned it out like this:
Chapters 1-2: introducing the prince and his powers while doing worldbuilding but leaving things intentionally ambigous and confusing (might turn off readers but fuck it)
Chapters 3-6: flashback of the prince as a kid, explaining how his powers came to be and adding some information on what this world looks like
Chapters 6-10: end of flashback, intoduce a bunch of characters related to the prince and transition the story into a longer arc.

I have a lot of set-pieces and storylines in my head I might add at some point but that's long from now.

>>84138949

Why not do storybuilding instead since you're making a comic instead of a VR sim?

>>84131650
You're either going to have to be good friends with an artist, or pay them, or approach them when they're vulnerable and exploit their crippling low self-esteem in order to get them to draw your comic.

>>84139223
Honest-to-god, I'd rather be Bones or Dobson right now. Shit, but blissfully ignorant and resilient.

Right now I know that I'm objectively technically good but have so much anxiety about stylization and consistency that I've spent the past month just fucking around doing doodles and character designs instead of just starting.

>>84139324

If I was Dobson, I could work myself out of that shit hole he's put himself in. But Bones? That'd be getting worse for me. And for what? Nobody cares about him and most ignore and/or filter him.

anger or annoyance provoked by what is perceived as unfair treatment.

Your figures would read more clearly if there was more contrast between them and the background. Consider nudging the snow a little lower so we can at least get their silhouettes?

Otherwise, this is pretty neat.

>>84140521
Good point, now that I look at it they're invisible in the thumbnail.

>>84139983
Loomis could draw in a way you can't.

Good.

>I'm the most confident amateur in this thread

I don't think anybody's going to disagree with that.

>>84137037
When I say "story" do you understand what I mean? A plot? Characters doing a thing?

>>84142243
To add, Loomis was proficient in sveral different media and styles. Compare his stuff in "Fun With a Pencil" and "Creative Illustration", or his commercial pieces - some of it is indistinguishable from modern day digital artists like Craig Mullins.

>>84138478
Thank for for the criticism! Honestly I hate the font too… I have shitty hand writing and in no way in hell could write the text down. I tried other fonts but nothing worked out well. Maybe I will go font hunting today.

And as for pacing, yeah I know its pretty rushed. Thats something i struggle with when I make my storyboards. I have chapter 3 and 4 storyboarded now and Its been getting a bit better every time.

>>84142391
Yes, Loomis ranges from cartoony to almost photorealistic. If there's a common thread through his styles, it's the women and men have fashions hairstyles etc from the early 60s. Given he found work as an advertising illustrator, and was training people to work in advertising illustration, that's perfectly legit.

Now Bones on the other hand can't draw simple lines, anatomy, perspective or proportions, and can't even recognize when it's wrong. It's like his faces are traced off of bad anime from dA, with a little bit of Sloth from Goonies thrown in.

Ah okay. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm thinking of penciling a bunch of pages beforehand while I work on a side project for premier pulp since that short is only going to be about 10 pages long, and my comic is starting to shape up to be at least 30+.

I laid down some roughs last night, but I may add a splash page before this so I can really cement the setting these characters are in.

some of the spider legs are missing in the below panel but they DO fold in and hide (that's how jyourougumo roll) so that's not automatically a mistake. also yay clothing damage!
I wouldn't toss any of this out, the only thing is maybe arachne's head in the first panel seems a bit unengaged. you could give her a more sinister or excited expression and maybe even move the head down a bit, and/or do something different with her arm, without having to redraw the whole thing.

Shortcuts? No.
Tips? Draw. No seriously, draw. Research on what it is you're drawing. Use references if needed. Pick up a book on drawing, or study everything under the sun that is related to comics, art, and storytelling. I wish someone had told me this when i was younger, but i'm barely getting into the mindset of a professional, even though I'm not. Try and pick up habits that will benefit you and your comic. But above all, have fun with it. Because even though some people may not enjoy your work, at least you will.

Sarah and Brenner are the only one's with long noses really, but ok, I'll use my new nose to cut that yo.

I have an idea for a project. Essentially, it would be the story of an intelligent alien species visiting earth for the first time. The twist is that the entire story is presented in the form of fake screenshots from websites such as cnn.com, reddit, 4chan, something awful, etc. all the "photographs" from articles and posts would be drawn.

Is this a good idea? Does it even count as a webcomic?

Anon, when you become a big webcomic star, promise me this one thing: Please remember the good times we all shared here in /hyw/. I know it there is a lot of shitposting and narcissistic tripfags in here, but down the road it all had it's charm don't you think? I know you will be busy with all your success, and that dream project wont make itself- But please remember! Please don't forget all the fun we had.

P-please dont forget me...


Ah, I went and said something selfish didn't I...

>>84154586
It would qualify, I think. Difficult to string something along, though. I'd say it'd help to have the first/a recurring screenshot be of a blog of some kind to give background/exposition to things to further the plot. Have all the news sites filter it through their propagandas and biases with the recurring one be a closer-to-reality version that also lambastes the biased news media versions of events.

>>84154586
just my suggestion: what would take this from a 5 to a 10 is if we got recurring snippets of a blog and one of them turns out to be made by one of the aliens, and then the realistic reaction to finding that out, by the others on the site

These are both pretty good ideas, although the latter twist would have to take place a decent clip into the story, seeing as I want to establish a semi-realistic picture of both sides attempting to communicate at first.

I'm also having trouble deciding whether the aliens should be more or less relatable from both a physical appearance or behavioral standpoint. Strictly ALIEN aliens are more fun to play with as a writer, but more human-like aliens would better lead into the suggested notion of one of them having a blog, as well as a plot twist that occurs later in the story. The aliens emerged from a wormhole. Everyone assumes the aliens created it themselves; however, once communication is firmly established, they reveal that they have no idea who created it. It just appeared one day outside their homeworkers, they followed it, and it lead to earth. Someone, or something else was responsible.

One more thing I'm struggling with is when to set the comic. It obviously has to be within the timeframe wherein all of the websites I mentioned are relevant, but I feel like involving topical politics could get really messy. (Though, to be honest, it's interesting to imagine how Donald trump and his supporters would react to first contact)

why? don't these retarded tripfags usually band together?

>>84155249
It's even funnier that Dewd and Scribblehatch hate each other because they have more in common than they do with anyone else in this thread.

>>84155249
>>84155337
I think that on some level, they all recognize themselves in each other, and hate to see the ugliness in the mirror. Their egos still haven't matured to where they can dissociate from it and evaluate themselves from another party's perspective to see that fundamentally they're all similarly flawed. So they end up hating each other when really, they're hating themselves.

>>84155154
that's because your lines are absolutely tiny. you also seem to be resizing in a rather sharp way

>>84155154
What dpi are you working in?
>inb4 another dpi argument

Here's the best basic settings you can do. The size of your canvas is unimportant. And by unimportant, i mean it can vary in size. My personal preference is the typical comic standard 11X17 inches with a 10X15 work area. I scan it in 300 dpi.

If you are working digitally, the same rules for dpi apply. Lots of pros work at 300-600 dpi.

As other anons said before, its best to work big, then scale down small when posting. 72 dpi is okay when you post. It's not the best, but it works.

>>84155155
yeah that's difficult. do you make a fun creature or do you make something believably alien

i say split the difference: it has recognizable vision organs, recognizable food intake, the shit you'd expect to be universal.. it has jointed limbs for some form of locomotion.. it has a compartment for storing your food intake, a compartment for your major energetic organs, processing whatever you use for oxygen, blood, whatever you use to move them around... that compartment may or may not be the same one as the other one..

but the arrangement of them can be inhumanly disturbing. a mouth above the eyes, or set at a totally different spot on the body instead of right near it. or some kind of radial symmetry

Is there anyway to get lines to look small while being bigger?

I don't really like thick lines, nor do I care for no lines.

I use a 7 pixel brush, is that too small?

>>84155337
I know we've hated scribblehatch in these threads for the longest time now but I missed why and this feels like as good a time as any to ask

It seems bizarre that the threads treat him like Dewd or Bones since his comic didn't look bad at all. Is he just an asshole or something?

>>84155535
at that size it is. just make bigger lines, they won't look too thick. unless they will. in which case, thinner.. but more than 7, at that size.

>>84155580
>Is he just an asshole or something?
Yes. People don't treat you like shit based on the quality of your artwork. There are plenty of comics with bad art here that people have no problems with.

>>84155609
Neither am I. I'd just use the basics.

Canvas: 11X17 inches with 10X15 work area

300 dpi

You should be fine.

Once your page is done, resize it, and set it to 72 dpi jpg.

If these aliens have any society similar to us, you could make it that the ambassador alien was a curious, courageous scientist while the rest of the crew that went with him were essentially fodder, the dregs of their society that were forcibly volunteered. Then if the dregs get uppity, it could create huge problems with Earth communications.
>but I feel like involving topical politics could get really messy
Don't do it then. Just don't draw attention to it. If anyone asks, say it's irrelevant to the story/would detract from the intent. Personally, I'd lean towards a much more comedic air with it, but if you're going for solid realism then that's all the better for establishing the tone. Comedy needs only be situational, involving different sites' protocols and culture.
