his eyes look derpy, you might want to fix that
also imho i would have more pages to each update on webtoons and perhaps try to include more backgrounds. when you include backgrounds it's easier to sink into the story and the few you've done show you're capable of it. If you add a cellphone border to the texts as well they wouldn't feel so flat and out of context. GL

Anyone have a quick way to take a scanned image and make it pure monochrome? And pure monochrome as in only #FFFFFF and #000000.

t. scans hand-drawn shit and uses it in program transparently.

>>88858967
Most scanners have a black and white input/ settings but that's only effective if you have inked your stuff with pen

>>88858967
Most programs have a filter called threshold, which will do exactly what you've asked for.

LIVE DAMN YOU!

Here's a question: What do y'all think of line sculpting as an alternative to regular lineart?

If you have no idea what it is: Take a sketch, refine it/erase away at it until it looks like lineart. That's the long and short of it. Like in pic related I'm working on; most of her face and much of her hair is already refined and sculpted, while nothing else currently is.

It obviously requires less precision, but generally takes a lot longer than doing plain ol' lineart. But, I've really grown to love it. It's almost therapeutic to me, just spending an afternoon carving out a picture's lines. Not great if you're on a deadline, but nice and calming if you're doing something for fun.

I didn't know that's what it's called, but its pretty much what I've been doing with my sketches, it definitely takes up more time but I'm obsessive about having my sketches almost as clean as my linework. Maybe I'll just skip having a linework phase and do that instead. Especially since I'm using a mouse, sculpting would make the whole process a lot easier.
>>88867400
Looking nice, simpler styles like that might not be as impressive as highly detailed ones but I like them a lot more.

I'm actually not 100% sure that's what it's really called, but it's what a very nice artist called Kienan Lafferty calls it. I've heard some people call it Reductive Drawing, but when I look that stuff up it looks more like it's drawing through negative space and/or implied shapes rather than erasing away imperfections.

A mouse might not give quite the same result, as it relies a lot on having the ability to control the opacity of the erasing through pressure sensitivity, but I'd think the same principle could still apply well enough.

Kienan actually has quite a few videos showing him doing his thing, specifically this'n that goes deep into the whole line sculpting stuff (skip to like 17:30 and on to see some clearer examples)

>>88870651
I really like the organic look of everything, though I'm curious why everything has was looks like a very similar carapace. Is every weapon actually a living thing and they all come from the same source a la Tyranids or Zerg, or is the plating material just strictly from a common creature? It's neat regardless.

It varies. When I'm doodling stuff for 4chan usually i sketch it with a light pencil and then just go over it with darker strokes.

When I'm doing actual lineart my method is actually going over the sketch layer with broad strokes and then erasing it where I overlap. Which is how I get very sharp edges in my lineart.

Played around with an older character design. I wanted to make him more animal-like while still retaining his original humanoid traits. He's kinda like a creature that inhabits the dreams of others, but in this case, he safeguards the soul of a lone little girl/dreamer. He's also got a dirty lil' secret about himself.

These were some sketches I put together before I called it for the night, but I'll likely go back over them with ink.

>>88871097
The carapace is basically plating material this faction uses. The weapons etc aren't living creatures themselves in the real sense, like for example Tyranid weapons are. Instead, the weapons are just constructs made out of organic components, hence why many have similar features to one another, like the bumpy carapace, the rib like parts etc.

>>88878632

the reason her face looks off it because you gave her jowls like an old lady
I'd suggest going for more simplistic lines since you have a lot of details
the look stiff because you put all the emotions in the face and don't have much gesturing going on

tried to help show you a bit more of the rules of thirds when it comes to putting your characters into a background or environment and marked out the ideal locations for placing a title that isn't too small or taking away from the action

i'd suggest looking into color theory along with lighting

honest i love the idea you have going and if it's okay may i offer to help?
