I wanted to post Lindell Dollice Quilten and her bio so here it goes. She's a goth girl who obviously, loves dolls. Handmade to plastic, she just adores them. She also makes spare dolls of her friends and family too in her spare time (her friends think the dolls are extremely creepy, but take them anyway out of politeness and maybe fear). Lindel also has a secret passion for boy bands of the 90's, kept well-hidden among her love for the macabre and strange.

His name is Diabolicus. He's a general for an intergalactic faction called the "Caliburian Empire". Though his body seems mechanical in nature, he's actually a member of a race of energy beings and his 'body' is basically just a conveyance used to contain and sustain his essence so that HC e may interact and move about when not on his homeworld. He can survive for a short time outside of the body, but will gradually dissipate over time.

>>90346068

>>90346296
The Caliburian Empire is a vast beuracracy that was formed by specific type of Terran biorioids as a vanguard for the expansion of human settlements into deep space. Basically, instead of sending human explorers into deep space to find worlds to settle, they would send bioroids out to promiding systems to explore and establish settlements. If the system is safe, they would send a message back to earth and begin constructing the settlements while they await human settlers from earth. They have a directive to continue buildinng, expanding and securing territory and resources until the settlers arrive. Since the human settlers never arrived, they kept building, expanding, establishing alliances and conquering until they wound up with a vast empire.

Anyhow, thrall species and allies have been allowed to participate in their empire as long as doing sondoesnt conflict with their directives.

They're called the Caliburian Empire because they were manufactured by a corporation named "Calibur".

I honestly have very little desire to change Her from being the same black inky color. The point of the character is to be somewhat controversial.

That said, I DO have that element in there in case OTHER people want to draw fanart and don't want people to shit down their throats. I'm fine with taking some heat but I'd rather my friends not get accused of bein' racist.

I've got a bit of a portfolio coming through, but only a couple are done. Basically what I'm working on is a universe where heroes have to reluctantly come together to face an older, more bitter generation of Golden Age-esque heroes who believe that these newer heroes are tarnishing the ideologies they worked so hard to protect in the "Good-old days."

Lineup so far are these characters.

>Circuit Breaker: Haven't come up with a story for him yet, but he's basically a living battery and can compress the ions in his body to either project or use as a shield.
>Original Sin: Demon banished to Earth by Satan after killing Cerberus
>Triple-Tap: Ex-Marine Corps sniper who must adapt to being part of a group unit after so many tours as a lone wolf. Traded her eyes in for cybernetic smart-link eyes.
>Rotorblade: Kind of like Falcon, only their arms have helicopter propellers rather than wings. Can only express with facial emotions displayed on a digital screen in their helmet.

That's all I got for characters so far. Pic related to Circuit Breaker. Only planning on just doing flats and no shades.

Australian snake themed melee merc villain for my capeshit comic. He's the first bad guy the protagonist rumbles with after coming out of retirement for fifteen years. The hero gets schooled pretty hard and asspulls a cheap win that leaves him OOA for weeks afterwards.

Some Death Adders have orange and brown/black stripes, so I went with those colours for his scheme. Going for 'Aussie-snake-themed-MCU-Batroc'.
Bit of a throwaway character designed to show the difference in the hero's ability after over a decade of no training. Years ago he would have one-shotted this guy, now he almost gets killed by him.

No prob. What's your handle (the name you go by as an artist) and the name of the character? I was going to post her on my da, fa and hf and I wanted to credit you as the owner/creator of the character.

Anyhow, here's an old drawing of my OC from waaaaaaay back. Her name is Czarettoh and she has the ability to summon or conjure things. Typically, she uses playing cards, figurines or books, but she can also use her own imagination with mixed results.

>Also, how do I meet artists (preferably irl)?
Here's some suggestions from Steve Lieber.

>>90364623
I feel like their mouths are too low? Or the bottom half of their faces are too low? I think it might be making their faces wider/fatter than intended?

>>90366661

Ignore what Lieber suggested about starting with prose/essays. It's just as difficult to crack into the field of writing as it is comics, if not more so given the over-saturation of writers. He's not a writer. Ignore this.

If you want to write prose, go write prose, but don't even think about trying to break into comics at the same time. Further, any Tom, Dick, and Harry can get published these days -- the problem is getting published with a somewhat reputable company. Let me lay down a hypothetical situation:

I write a four hundred page novel. It can be about anything, the content doesn't particularly matter.

Now... Does it look better if I can achieve publication with Tor or Amazon?

You can figure out which of the two anyone is going to give credence.

He does give one piece of good advice that isn't self-evident, and that's getting in a comic book publishing company and then pivoting from there. That's hard, harder than it would be to be just get a job somewhere else. Either way you'd have to convince them to take a chance on your idea (doubtful), or use your savings and connections that you've created to generate a team.

Either way, you are going to be spending money. Honestly, your best bet is to just save money, do your research online, find out who is going to certain conventions (follow them on social media), and then go to said places. In an ideal situation you'll go to these things with five or six different people in mind, at a minimum.

Many of them are already working on their own projects that they haven't talked about, or are contractually obligated to produce work for someone else, etc. Harden yourself, and prepare for rejection is what I am saying. Although if you've decided you wanted to be a writer, you should have accepted this at the start. The only people who are never told, "No", are socialites with silver spoons up their asses.

>>90367780
I disagree.
I think you're looking at things too big.
Writing a book won't get Marvel or DC to knock on your door, but just completing a longform project says a lot about you, and a smaller comic publisher likely won't be as scared of you. It means you at least theoretically know what you're doing, and can see a project through.
If you write a dozen essays about comics, you can pull that out and show it to potential artists or publishers when they want to see what you've been doing for the last four years, and if you have worthwhile opinions/thoughts on things.

It's like getting an internship in college so that when you graduate you can at least have some sort of relevant work experience on your resume.

His advice seems to be more relevant to smaller publishers than to the big publishers, to break into the industry, not to be the next big breakout star.

>>90368036

You are also missing the point that I elucidated around the middle of my post.

Anyone can get published these days, anyone.

Who you get published with is what matters.

My dude, if I was wrong, really, if I was wrong, why do you think that you have to write manuscripts, pitch the slug line, and then move on with your life once you've been told no?

Publishers don't give a flying fuck what you've written, unless it gets published. This contradictory situation is what makes breaking into writing such a difficult task in the first place.

It doesn't strengthen my position if I've written several massive tomes. What does strengthen my position is if said tomes are published.

You are confusing the, again, merit of dedication people attribute to going to College and getting a degree. That can help you because you went to a place for several years, it was accredited, they gave you a piece of paper saying you completed their coursework.

Great, that's useful.

You'd know this, my dude, if you actually went to school for this.

No one hires a scriptwriter just because he's written a hundred scripts.

No one hires a writer on consignment just because he's written thirty books.

If nothing you've done has been given the rubber stamp of approval by way of publication? You may as well be writing Sonic Fan-Fiction and turning that in with your CV.

>>90368254
>You are confusing the, again, merit of dedication people attribute to going to College and getting a degree. That can help you because you went to a place for several years, it was accredited, they gave you a piece of paper saying you completed their coursework.
That's not what I was talking about. For so many companies, the degree is meaning less and less. They require that you have it, of course, but a couple of semesters of internship with relevant job experience is what will get you the job.

Also, start on the bottom and make your way up. You can't just jump over steps in the process. If a publisher thinks that every book that you've gotten published is trash, go to a lower rung. Make friends in the industry, and move up as your skill improves.

Kate still needs a proper turnaround.

This is actually my very first OC created. Made him about 4 years ago, and I'm pretty proud. He's named Lando the Lantern. He likes cooking and volunteering at the community. He used to be a pyromaniac, but eventually came to relax, mellowed out, and became a productive member of the community. Yes his head is removable, but don't eat pumpkin products in front of him. It makes him uncomfortable.

And also, this is fanart a wonderful artist did. Mydrawing skills suck.

>Unfortunately this is very hot

>>90381704
what was?

>>90381686

I can't speak for illustrators, so no, sorry. I can only speak of what I know, which is from the perspective of a writer. That's why I was dismissive of Lieber's advice. He's an illustrator, not a writer.

If you want to illustrate comics? You better find a group of people willing to work with you. One man shows are few and far between. Not because the talent isn't there, but because there's very little wiggle room to let people dawdle with the timetables that comics work with.

If you don't want any pressure, want to work alone, and want to be 100% in control? Make a webcomic, that's about your only option. Otherwise, team up with a writer who has money and an idea.

Of course, you have to have talent as well. Writers won't tell you this, but because of the nature of the methods laid out by Lieber (one he actually agrees works), you as the artist are not the commodity. The colorist, and the writer are the two people that the publishing company will end up being interested in. This has to do with the dynamic of how Western print companies are organized.

The writers are viewed as directors. In these small operations, it falls on them to do pretty much all of the organizing, campaigning, and funding. You are merely their tool.

Unless you can prove that you were the guy who did the lion's share of the work, and funded the project that's just the way it is.

gifv is basically a webm alternative. One of the primary advantages is that it embeds the same way a gif does, while webm's embed like a video.

>>90324526
amateur here. i've always been able to draw but am just now trying to learn how to tell stories with it, ie how to do paneling, WHICH thing to show in which frame, that sort of thing. which is all very complicated, like the difference between taking a photo and being a director/editor. Understanding Comics was very helpful for putting these concepts into concrete descriptions.
now that I'm getting started, can any of us get by by simply using oldfashioned pencil and paper, or is computer drawing and editing software necessitated in this day and age?

>>90391134
you could get by with the old pencil-and-paper, but you'd need at least a decent scanner to go along.

digital drawing and editing software make things a whole lot easier, and there are some very good free options out there like medibang, firealpaca or krita (it has animation and some comics-oriented tools), though generally paint tool sai and clip studio paint are generally regarded as the best ones, though both are paid (and worth the price as far as i know).

>>90391134
You'll need to use a computer at some point if you want to put your art up on the internet. Whether that's at the start of the drawing process, or just at the scanning in stage is up to you.

There are plenty of people posting photos of traditional media drawings to Instagram (with artfully arranged pens and brushes).

>>90391400
>>90391134
There is GIMP too, if you are interested.

>>90391428

don't suppose any of those are free

>>90391741
Krita, firealpaca, medibang are free, and i think gimp is too.

Your only big hurdle with those programs will be getting a tablet. Drawing with a mouse is not very fun.

old things

My favorite author just posted an article about herself from the New York Times praising her for her amazing fantasy YA novels. Went on to say how she's not 30 yet and has 12 books under belt (5 of them on the NYT best sellers list) and that she was getting two master degrees in history while also writing one of those said best sellers. I'm super proud of her, almost like she's a close friend, even though I've only met her once, for ten seconds at a book signing. I don't even think I feel jelouse. I just feel...nothing. Maybe I'm a void of emotion as I look at my 50+ saved word documents of 50 different ideas and plot layouts and characters sheets. I'll never be able to actually finish anything. I'm just too distracted/too much ADD/no will power/always saying I'll start for real this weekend. *sigh*

I had such a person but he died. I miss you bro.

Hello, I'm hoping you could help me sort this out this shit for one of my OC.
I need to make a neet/shut-in kinda character,
she's supposed to be some sorta celebrity that hates her job, so, outside the camera, she's a pissed off shut-in, and I'm not sure how should I dress her.
I was thinking of the usual jerseys, but that's probably overdone to hell.
Do you think Jerseys are ok, or should I try something different? What else could I try?
I don't have a pic on me now, but she has a bobcut hair with bangs and it's kinda round, but not too much, so whatever she wears, it has to be comfy, and proper to walk around in front of men and other women.
