good job making the new thread, I know a few people wanted to keep posting in here

that's a tough one since some of my earliest are actually better than some of the later ones a few months in.

I do not use a personal web site, but publish on webtoon, tapastic and tumblr.
I'm doing it wrong?
I have already small amount of views, on a personal website I think I would have about 0 view.

>>90449624
Using a webcomic host site like Tapastic is fine, despite what some people say. They're useful for building up your fanbase without having to invest any cash into a personal site. I used to only use Tapastic and Webtoons to host my comic, and even though I have my own site set up now, I still have a lot of readers from webtoons/tapastic

using a hosting service like tapastic or whichever other comic hosting sites are out there + social media like tumblr and twitter is fine and actually preferable. if you want to add a bit more personality to your project then get a domain name. they are like $10 a YEAR and you get your own dot com.

just make sure you read the TOS for the hosting sites so you don't accidentally give away ownership of your shit to someone and have to pay royalties to them.

i think the only big issue to worry about is when you start to get too much traffic (unlikely, no one ever gets too much traffic), and the site decides to cut you loose.

No major language errors that I can see on this page. Speech balloons could do with some adjustment though.

Panel 2
Balloon 1: Remove the blank line under "HOLY SHIT!"
Balloon 2: Centre align text, move the line break to "We're || a real band". Balloon could be a little smaller.
Both balloons could be repositioned slightly, as they're forming tangents with the hair, and the border of panel 1.
For the introduction captions, I'd put the name on it's own line, then the job roles underneath, with spaces around each dash.

Panel 3:
Balloon 1: Centre align text, move it so it's not making a tangent with the panel border. Capital T in "YouTube".
Balloon 2: Centre align text, make it a little larger, as the S in So is right up against the edge.

Panel 4: Make the balloon a little bigger, and move the tail to 9 or 10 o'clock, and point it towards Ophelie's face (at the moment it's pointing at her tits).

>>90455500
thanks, will do that! I hope the placement's better on the following pages!

Anyway. Also fixed an error pointed out by the same guy for this page.

>>90455031
Page 2

Panel 1: "Go set up the gear and merch, and do a sound check! NOW!"

Panel 2: the balloons as they are read in the wrong order; top right reads before bottom left.
Balloon 1: "I also want || a tight setlist!"
Both balloons are making tangents on the panel borders.

Panel 3: Nudge the text up a bit, so "This" isn't so close to the edge. Tangent on the border to panel 1.

Panel 4:
Balloon 1: Text could do with repositioning.
Balloon 2: "I feel her pain."

Panel 5: "By the way, what the fuck..."


>>90455123
Page 3
Panel 5: "He'd better answer this fucking call."


>>90455249
Page 4

Panel 5: You could split Harry's dialogue in two:
Top right: "Well, could you, perhaps..."
Bottom right: "... Play the drums tonight?"
That would fill in the big gap at the top of the panel, and introduce a hesitant pause.

Panel 6: Similarly with Marie.
Balloon 1: "... OK."
Balloon 2: "Only if you make me || an official member || of the band."


>>90455294
Page 5

Panel 1, balloon 2: Capital T in "Then".

Panel 3
Balloon 1: "It's been || the same shit || for months!"
Balloon 2: "I even helped on the recording for the EP. || I composed the drum parts, || and played over that || smegma stained shitbag!"

Panel 5:
"So now, if you try to tell me that I can't be in your fucking band because, according to you, a woman is physically incapable of achieving brutality, go fuck yourse--"

Panel 6:
Balloon 1: reorganise the line breaks, starting with "As co-founder || of Gloryhol..."
Balloon 2: "So yeah. || Welcome to Gloryhol, || Marie de Darthes."

finished a new page of GGZ, I hope yall like it.

But be honest, is this ok for all audiences? or did i go to far in a few places?

the idea is that nina is getting turned on by people she absolutely hates and hates the idea of but seeing them get dressed for the cheerleader tryouts does something to her...

help!

I want to keep this comic all ages, ive even been avoiding curse words like the plague! but i my hve gotten a bit carried away a bit....

starting a comic. rough draft of the first page, I'm stuck on the palette, it's supposed to be at night but I'm stuck on how to color the trees/rocks/stream.

I'm really not ready for this.

>>90456825
Go to /ic/ and they'll teach you how to draw. Read the sticky and practice using the resources the sticky provides, mainly the books. Then worry about comics when you can actually draw

>>90456674
If you feel you have peaked, just draw for fun.

If you can't do that. Then quit.

>>90456574
This might be the best page on this thread even the way it is now, IMO
>>90456824
If you're showing panty shots and overt sexuality like that then you've gone a little past "for all ages". You can make her get turned on, just be subtle about it, like maybe make her act more catty when she gets turned on or make subtle sexual jokes.

Actually, just spotted on Page 6
Panel 3, balloon 1: missing tail.
Panel 4, balloon 1: line break "everything, but || it's a start..."

>>90455403
Page 7

Panel 4: "Set this stage on fire".

Panel 5, balloon 2: "We're gonna destroy this venue!"
Straight tails would suit the dialogue better; see below.


Page 8:
No changes.


Most of the issues I can see with the lettering are with the positioning of the balloons, tails, and text within them.

The balloons are all perfect ovals, but the text within them often doesn't fit the shape well. Text should be centred, not left-aligned. Controlling where the line breaks go will help, but you also need to be aware of how each line will read.
If you make the balloons with 4 control points and adjust their positions and handles, you can customise the shapes to fit the text better, instead of trying to force a block of square text into a round balloon.

Make sure the text is centred properly within the balloon, so it isn't too close to one side or touching the edges. A customised balloon shape helps here, over a perfect oval.

Watch the positions of the balloons, so they aren't forming tangents with panel borders and elements within the panels.
Vertical positioning trumps horizontal, so a balloon in the top right will read before one in the bottom left.

Tails should point to people's faces.
A single straight tail has more energy/is more immediate than a curved one.
Ideally, they should emerge as if they were drawn with a straight line starting at the centre of the balloon. So, perpendicular to the balloon edge.
Again, watch the positioning for tangents.

Plan the lettering at the layout stage; don't try to force it to fit in whatever gaps you've left. That way it's not covering important art elements; you also don't need to draw anything in areas that will be covered by a balloon.

Don't skimp on or rush the lettering; be just as fastidious with it as with your artwork.

why? its just low tier weeb shit and its not even drawn well, the faces look like shit and the anatomy is garbage. the robot also looks like flat hot trash.

the person was obviously trying to draw manga but failed and he didn't post on /a/ where that page belongs because everyone on /a/ would of made fun of him for how bad the art looks

so he posted it here thinking the worst looking failed anime attempts would look better than any random american webcomic/cartoon artist stuff on any given day

but he was wrong, it looks like shit

>>90456574
i dont think your going to make it anon, maybe stop being obsessed with anime and give american comic book style or cartoons style a try. you dont have anything to loose man, the attempted anime manga look doesnt work for you at all

as it stands now your work is shit/10

im not being mean, just helpful and honest man

>>90457013

thanks for the help, i have to run now, i will be back on here later on tonight/early in the mourning

peace!

>>90457208
Bones, shut up. This is better than anything you could do.

>>90456574
Noice train and mountains, you're pretty good at drawing scenery and props so far. Your character art could use a lot of work, though. Your poses are very stiff, adn there are times when the dude's anatomy looks kinda wonky. Do some figure drawings and anatomy study, they could really help you.
Don't worry about making it for now, you're still learning. Just try to have fun and improve your art.

>>90456825
Are you stuck on coloring the trees/rocks/stream because you don't know what color to make them or because you don't know how to render/paint them?

>>90457517
what color, though I'll take whatever advice. might post it on /ic/ once I clean it up a bit more.

>>90456574

I like this so far. You do have some errors. I don't know what you see you have to fix. You may have something in mind. But here is my 2 cents.

Your perspective on the chair is screwing up the anatomy of the guy sitting in it. Look at his knees. Fucker needs to man spread the fuck out.

Also note the shoulders. He's resting, I don't know how tired he is in this scene, but the shoulders could droop down a bit more. It looks like you were keeping the shoulder line with some form of perspective, but it came out stiff.

I'm no pro, thats just what I see.

>>90454533

>>90457472
>>90457208
Actually, I learned most of my anatomy from copying Spiderman and just drawing from life. I like both American stuff and the manga. I really don't care where comics come from as long as I can read it and it has good art and a good story. Ironically, I used to think that backgrounds and perspective were where I shit and I was good at characters, so I forced myself to put my make all my digital drawings have a fully realized background. One year later, I've realized that humans are much harder than backgrounds, so I've been grinding anatomy for the past 3 months. I've decided to at least start the comic so that I won't fall into the rut of saying "When I'm good I'll eventually do it, but first I gotta practice this."
I'm still practicing on the side, but not as much anymore.

>>90456825
generally speaking, to make something night-toned, you wanna add blue to it, and darken.

>>90457775

>>90457603
Okay, hope you don't mind me vandalizing your art.
First thing is that you seem to be going for a cool color scheme, but you're using a pretty yellow-ish green, albeit a dark shade of it. Trade that in for a bluer green, as that may better fit.
A purple might do well for your trees, as I assume they're actually supposed to be brown, and in low light browns can take on a purplish tint. Similar with rocks, take whatever color they would be in normal light, and make it into a cooler hue. The stream looks fine imho. Hope this helps.

>>90457727
Ahh, stiffness. Yeah, I've noticed my drawings are bit stiff and the poses come out weird. I think it might be because I don't have a clear enough library of poses in my head to kinda wing it. I'll look back over this page and try to fix the mistakes, thank you so much. BTW, do you guys have any good sites to find reference poses because I'm terrible at photography and can't take a picture to save my life.

If you can't get a good reference, then think of the body in spheres and cylinders. Then use a perspective grid to place....I can't describe it with words. Loomis has a good few pages of lining a body up with perspective.

>>90457875
Eh, it's not like the people who are actually decent at art get much attention anyways, people would much rather shit on Dewd than give critique art with any effort in it. Most of the artists from here who I actually like haven't posted here in ages.

I've mostly been using a combination of this guy

and Loomis as my methods of construction. I tend to use more organic shapes like cylinders than boxes because when all my drawings based on boxes always turn out stiff. Or maybe I'm just a huge faggot, I dunno

Hey guys I just came out of a freak out I had on /r9k/ and I'm feeling very lost. How do you handle jealousy over other comic artists?

>>90466356
it sounds a little hippy-dippy but it helps if you realize the delineations between people are pretty arbitrary. i wouldnt go as far as to quote i am the walrus, but basically anyone could be you, and you could be anyone. don't let the you you happen to be distract you from that, you'll never be someone-enough to be happy. Just be happy for them, knowing they get to be that person and enjoy that. You've got yours too, plenty of people envy you.

the only thing that frustrates me is seeing art that i couldnt possibly learn the FIRST THING about mimicking, but then you just have to remember that every step is a step, with a step before it and a step after, and you can't skip it but you still know it's there.

>>90466356

Do what writers do- Simply shit out all our ideas on the page and don't worry about technique when making the first rough draft. Then just heavily analyze and trim what you don't need and add what you don't need to make a second draft. If it still doesn't quite work, repeat the process until you've refined the comic pages to what you want

I remember being a dumb little kid on the internet too, kid.. it's cool.

>>90467537
decompression is how people describe modern comics and the way they take a lot longer to tell the same stories.. for example if you picked up a spider-man comic in the 60s, it told a whole saturday morning cartoon's worth of adventure in a few pages, with the lizard defeated at the end... whereas in the 90s that comic was part 16 of 22 and you basically saw peter talking to 2 or 3 people in-depth about their opinion of what it meant that he's now a clone or something.

>>90467898
Yeah. I'm currently laying out the basic building blocks for the script and realizing that I want to move a lot slower than 22 pages will allow. I think that a part of the struggle is that I'm coming from screenwriting - I'm most comfortable writing for one "lens," if you will. But with comics, there are multiple "lenses" on one page, which I'm trying to wrap my head around.

>>90468060
really not defending anyone, just pointing out that things outside this thread need to stay there or we'll run through 400 more posts in a few minutes and be no closer to solving whatever the problem is.

We're on 4chan so to expect that is too optimistic.

Other than answering his initial question about jealousy I don't see the merit to keeping this going, Anon.

This actually brings up a good topic. How do you guys feel about making characters with different languages? For example >>90468461 is using a lot of Norwegian, but I've never even thought of creating a character that doesn't speak English. Do you think it's a good or bad idea to create a from a completely different country/culture?

Just wanted to draw the gang hanging out, watching something on the TV i guess.

>>90468945
Depends on if you get a decent resource for checking accuracy in speech/cultural practices and how you use the character in the story itself. If the majority of your characters speak English, can they also speak English? Do they otherwise have a translator to and from English? Would their lack of ability to communicate hamper the story? Are the communication issues just used as a gag, or do you focus on the feeling of alienation, or do they just not care about it?

>>90468945
the only wrong way to do it is the cliche of peppering your language with words from your native tongue. Nobody does this the way they do in cartoons where it's the words they probably learned in english first
no, indeed, the people who randomly substitute easily-learned words are the ones studying THAT language, not the one that comprises the other 95% of their speech
however, immigints swearing in their mother tongue or using hard to translate figures of speech, absolutely.

Well that's the part I get irritated with a lot of tumblr comics is that a lot if times they sprinkle the language where it's rediculous and use culture as some special prop when they know very little about that culture. Then again, I'm afraid of being diverse because I don't want people to think I'm "culturally appropriating" or anything like that. I dunno. For example, this kid is using this language as a gag, do you think that's wrong or? It just rubs me wrong when people do that but what's your opinion?

>>90469521
Which comics are you talking about?

And I think you get out of writing what you put into it. A poorly researched or poorly conceived gag about a culture/language is going to fall flat.

>>90469124
SD has always been the second tallest team member, just a few inches under Sarah.

Also it has been a while because I'm really busy on that super secret project.

>>90469577
I was talking about the instagram girl and other tumblr comics just in general. Haven't you ever come across tumblr comics that just use a character from a specific culture for progressive points?

>>90469135
Are you allergic to fun or what?

>>90469634
tumblr is currently engaged in a bitter civil war of inclusiveness vs cultural appropriation. ideally it will destroy both sides.
Usually the way out is instead of including something with established qualities, you invent something fictional, claim it's real, and include that, then insist nobody is allowed to define it because it's just people's FEELINGS and PREFERENCES and IDENTITY which obviously are impossible to pin down

>>90469135
>mad because some kid with a pencil draws better than you

>>90469634
No, not really. I see a lot of racial diversity, physical/mental impairments, gender diversity, and "progressive" (semi-obscure, cool but weird looking) shit like vitiligo and heterochromia, but I get the feeling that most white Tumblr authors are afraid to try to write a character from a non-white culture because it'll come across as assumptive and/or racist. If you see a lot of multi-cultural inclusion in a written work on Tumblr it's usually from an author who is a part of that culture or who has that culture in their heritage.

That said, I don't think including a white dude from Norway is a progressive point.

>>90469521
>>90469634
>>90469726
>>90469801
May I intervene here? I'm Swedish so I have a pretty good grasp on Bokmål (the type of Norwegian being used) and it seems she knows what she's doing and is purposely using it wrong for sine gags, which is all good and fun in itself. It's just that when people get upset over "cultural appropriation" it causes a problem because the people who cry wolf usually aren't even from that culture. For example in the ending of the first post, his computer says "post (your) tits" "hang yourself" "how?" "Licorice", which is pretty much norsk reddit. It's not a weird at all. However the rapping strip some language was used improperly yet she made a note about it and stated it was for the gag, which is all well am fun but someone who didn't read the note might get upset and SJW out. So yes, using other types of peoples is great, but you just have to be careful in facist liberal society these days.

>>90469892
I kind of assumed she was Norwegian herself and made the comics in English because, well, it's the internet. I was just telling the guy that making a character Scandinavian wouldn't win her any points with the social justice crowd.

>>90469922
it's getting pretty big in webcomics lately though. I just met someone at a drawing meetup group whose comic is about norse myth shit.

>>90469922
Well you don't know, he could be a Sami. Could be possible she's Norwegian though, I checked and some of her followers are.
>>90469949
I'm so glad that's not what she's doing. I'm so sick of that shit.

>>90469949
Yeah, because medieval/Tolkien fantasy shit is wearing thin, so people are leaning more on other European cultures. Norse myths are the most obvious culture from which to crib elements of a badass fantasy story.

My comic's going to include a lot of Eastern European/Baltic motifs, because it's a decent chunk of my personal heritage and I feel like they'll be a refreshing change of pace compared to other fantasies without having to invent a whole new visual culture.

If you flip it back on them you can become an untouchable God unto Tumblr and get individual aggressors blacklisted through callout. "Stupid fucking racist white people trying to police my culture" is a serious trump card on there.

>>90470130
I guess that's true too. Just sucks that it exists in the first place.

>>90470160
Absolutely. Their hearts are in nearly the right place, but they've just become so thoughtlessly dogmatic.

>>90472070
Nice to see it. I've always enjoyed seeing your stuff around.

How do I make characters as attractive as >>90468461? I don't know how to make cartoons look bangable.

>>90475528
Study real life hot people.

Eyes, cheeks, lips, nose, etc.

>>90475640
Well that's not really much of a help if everything is cartooy so there's no real way of mimicking a real person perfectly

>>90475927
It's not about mimicking. It's about understanding what features = hot and how to apply these principles to your art.

Like shit nigga, come on.

>>90475999
How do you know what it is about someone that makes them hot?

>>90476073
By studying them. Do we have to go in circles here?

Look at what you find attractive in both real life and caricature, study it, try to apply it, analyze what did and didn't work, rinse, repeat.

>>90471670
it usually gets called a cyoa or a 'quest' if that helps you look up other examples

>>90476119
Ok well thanks anyways

>>90476219
>thanks anyway
...what?
Like, what do you want? There's no guide to attractiveness. I'm saying you need to practice caricature based on what you find attractive if you want to make attractive caricature. You're acting like that's not enough info; what more do you need?

>>90475528
I think it's the eyes. study ways of making eyes seem 3d without being gross and bulgy.

If you really don't get it, just take a look at Disney characters for example. Here they're trying to portray a beautiful woman in a cartoon style so how do they do it?

Well fist, what are conventionally attractive female features?
>Big eyes
>Round cheeks
>Clear skin
>Small nose
>Full lips

And would you look at that! Elsa here has every one of those features, albeit stylized! For example, her eyes are made bigger to further her youthful/cute appearance, and her nose is really tiny to make her cheeks look bigger.

Just take attractive figures and exaggerate them a little, anon.

>>90476276
No I guess you're right but I just want some magical fix now. I know that's not what's going to happen though.

>>90476420
>fuckin' snout
>gross warped eyes
>agnathism
not the best example there
also any artist who oversimplifies things to "big this, small that, round that" is an idiot. You know that doesn't work, because if you make a face out of circles in ms paint it doesn't look good

>>90476424
I dunno, I'm still drawing eyes as symbols because I can't do it yet
Something to do with the lids. Look up some tutorials. also watch some OLD disney movies from back when they could draw, especially the milt kahl era, they really had a knack for expressive eyes

>>90476454
You can make a good design exclusively out of circles, ovals and curves. You just need to not do that for everything.

Facial markings or no?

>>90477019

>>90476845

>>90477145
Yeah, I can see how the contrast looks a little odd, I'll probably make the face a tad darker. And thanks!

>>90477172
Cool, thanks. That's nice to hear, since the whole reason I'm redesigning her is cause she's supposed to pretty in-universe and her original design just wasn't doing that.

>>90477809
I will say she's got a bit of a long face, long chin and nose for a pretty girl, but there's nothing wrong with that. It's just not what I'd expect of a sphinx, because it's about as un-catlike as a face can get. Of course you've given her long narrow cat ears so that kind of works.

>>90477019
Do use markings but make better ones

>>90473481 Here is a short, animated answer. I was going to add more details over time, instead of giving a huge word wall.

Animator is the true god overseeing the story's construction, and the elements of art work underneath him to give the story a foundation to work on so Animator can manage other things. Drawg, the element of line, is the 1st of 7 beasts. Drawg is the easiest and most accessible, because they are in charge of simple lines that make up the story. She is everywhere just like elements work in our world. She is the smallest element with the least mass. She also likes to drink tea somehow, even though she doesn't have a mouth. She's not very funny; not everything needs to have a punchline.

>>90480512
so cute little girlmammal is.. just a minor magician? I got the impression she was more important than even she was aware of, but also that other people didn't fully understand it. like she was an avatar of the animator or something.

>>90469272

>>90480615 If you mean Commisan, she is a minor and poor artist. Kids in school aren't allowed to use the big tools yet, but if you can't learn and demonstrate the fundamentals you get retained. That's why Commisan is still living at school with Mahder. (I should probably make this explicitly stated in comic)

Commisan is important only because Animator spends most of his time focusing his panels and art on her. He's kinda watching her try to grow up since he's not allowed to be in his own story. Other than that Commisan is just like any other character in the story, and although she has the focus right now, she's just somebody else's secondary, background character in their story. (This can't be explicitly stated by anyone)

>>90483441

Let's post stuff to make everyone happy than.

I present to you: my first episode on that comic!
Yay
https://tapastic.com/episode/622706

>>90483682
awesome
you haven't fully hooked me yet, but keep posting when you update and I'll keep reading

>>90483854
Thanks man!
My co-writer's gonna help me coming up with ideas.
Next episode's gonna be full of blonde swedish rock therapists with heavy accents and smashed guitars to the pace.

>>90483854
Not that anon, but I have a question for you and anyone else, really.

How many pages in until you know if you're hooked or not? How many until you give up? And finally, what hooks you into the story? What turns you off?

>>90483987
It depends completely. Sometimes it's right away, sometimes it's not for a while.. that goes for a lot of things actually. I listened to some music for years before starting to actually like it.

>>90483987
Things that hook me:
>unique events or humor that I haven't heard a million times
>other indications the writer thinks like me or in ways i've always wanted to read something by a person whose brain works that way
>nice art
>cool subject matter like robots and shit
turnoffs include bringing me out of the story to give some kind of message

>>90483682
>that boob anatomy
I mean, it's your style, but it's kind of grotesque. I the writing a bit though.
>>90483329
Is it weird that some of this is hitting me really hard?

>>90484034
>>90484115
>>cool subject matter like robots and shit

I mean, I can't disagree with this one. Stories with robots automatically have an advantage over me.

Thanks for the answers. I'm working out the first four pages and trying to make them not be boring? Or if they even are? I don't know. I've always struggled with beginnings the most.

>>90484126
I'm gonna tone down that in the future, yeah.

So you like the writing?

>>90484390
Yeah. I mean, it felt like a comic, you know? Like it fits the medium.

>>90484269
For your comic I think it'll be all about the humor. I'd focus on that. Relax your brain and keep joking around

>>90484926
Uh. I haven't posted anything about my comic's subject here yet. But thank you, regardless.

>>90484926
Yeah I thought I might have mixed you up with band comic guy. I got really turned around in that exchange.
Feel free to share stuff about yours

Holy shit guys. Ok so I was posting a few threads back about not being able to creat original characters but I requested meme girl to do that for me and now I have free OCs to use. Thanks shitposting guy.

your worrying about the wrong things under aged anon, its not about who can draw better than who, just fucking draw man, and keep drawing, and dont stop, and if anyone hates on you just know there jealous pieces of shit and keep drawing knowing that because success and being obviously as good as any pro artist getting paid to do shit i the best reply to those assholes, assholes like you, but its ok, you will grow out of it, when you become an adult you will be way more mature and respectful, unless your just forever an asshole, in which case, kys faggot :^)

Also drew a fullbody of Mrs. Sphinx. Not sure how human/cattish I should make her, as she's basically a furry right now. I'm thinking about just making her a shapeshifter, so she can shift between lady with the body of a lion and kawaii catgirl at will, but I'm still tempted to give her the haunches of a lion. Her outfit definitely is going to get some revision to little less bland, but I

>>90496040
not what I was expecting, but very cute. Love her expression. great color balance.
that's not a dewclaw hallux on her left foot is it? I don't think cats have those the way dogs do.. but if she's part human then that would influence that i suppose.
yeah the shapeshifter idea is good, and relatively traditional, but if I were you I'd stick with a few non-redundant forms. sphinx, human, and maybe full lion. Giving her a lion-satyr form is ... well, if she was a werelion that'd make sense, but when her natural form is a sphinx that's like "hm which arms do i want today" which is.. yknow..

but I'm a vampire?
but I died while typing this post?

>>90456574
The amount of work you put into tones, backgrounds and everything else helps the overall impression quite a lot, but your basics are still not there. Look into how perspective works (your train tracks are above the mountains) and how limbs and head are attached to the body as well as limbs length relative to other parts of the body. That should be a good start. With the way you are now, the moment you slip out of spending tons of time distracting your readers with backgrounds, the errors like that melting elbow in panel 6 will consume your comic entirely.

How does /HYW/ feel about a description/words from the author on each webcomic?

For example, each Whomp strip, Ronnie adds a little 'secret text' as an addendum to the comic. Some other authors might say whats on their mind under each comic. Do you like this? Does it become annoying?

>>90504489
>new system
it infuriates me to no end how many people think it's a switch game
it's a wiiu game. they made a switch port. if you think that's what switch graphics look like, you're (as usual) pre-judging based on the launch previous-console ports. an unwise mistake.

>>90507849
I love it. It can be done seriously too, a lot of dramatic comics give little bits of understanding.. A Better Place gives neat little bits of lore, Legend of the Hare gave funny lore and/or song lyrics, and Disregarding Reality helps explain the joke in case people didn't get it, but also clarify the views going on behind the comic which fends off any unintended offense.. which is important when you're a foreignfellow and your sensibilities are just a touch off

I coded a whole site for a webcomic collective I started up

I then chose to run each creator's comic as a tumblr blog, with appearance identical to the main site, so tumblrites can get the comics in their feeds and follow any of the webcomic series as an alternative to bookmarking a website and checking it every day

Still a few months till it's going up, but I can't wait to shill it here.

What program, or should I say; which script language did you use for your site?

Yeah, none of my lion-satyr stkatched came out too well I don't think I'll do that, but I'm still thinking she might be able to control her shapeshifting in individual body parts. I'm thinking about having her occasionally transform one hand into a paw, to scratch people with or carve out magic runes with her claws.

So, what's the best free software to use to make web comics? Something not too complex, but I can learn from and get a hang of digital art with

>>90508081
I like this character!
I've only done wysiwyg

I made the mistake of posting my comic to imgur. Took a minute to get -4. Whatever that means. First outing not so good I guess.

>>90515402
Free? Well, I've heard decent things about Fire Alpaca and Kirita, though I've never used them myself. You might as well just save up for Manga STudio, that's probably the easiest software for comics there is. It's only ~$25 when it's on sale, and it goes on sale pretty often.

>>90509284
Surely you've heard people doing that before though
>>90510056
lions are particularly difficult for satyrs or taurs due to their really short thick legs. at least with ungulates you can bullshit it a bit by taking out what would have otherwise been a really fat long belly on the source critter, lining it up with the proportionately svelte human torso
as for paw-transformations, that's the kind of thing you can get away with if your comic's a little on the silly side, as just sort of a hand equivalent of a face-take.. but since yours isn't, yeahh I suppose it'd have to be teh magics.
In any case if you do show a paw transformation remember that the third phalanx bends backwards

>>90511646
I think she should be bending backwards more at the hip and spine and less at the knee. also if that's meant to be her again in the past nale, her proportions have changed completely

I know that feel, I was stuck in that phase for a while. The thing is, it's never going to be as perfect as you want it to be, especially if this is your first comic, and that's okay.
The best way for you to improve and get just a little closer to that perfect first issue is to make that good, but flawed, version you have right now, and just keep on making comics. The best way for you to improve your comics is to just keep making them. Keep on practicing, keep on learning new methods, techniques, and keep pushing yourself to learn. Soon enough, you'll look back at the first issue you made, and you'll see all it's flaws. However, moving on from it to draw more comics will have let you improve much more than if you had only focused on issue #1.
Just make your first issue and move on, you can always come back to it later down the road. Finished is better than perfect.
Ganbatte with your comic, anon.

On a completely unrelated note; has anyone here considered doing a smut/porn comic before starting their main project? I'd imagine it would be good for anatomy practice in the very least

>>90522753
it's rare that it goes in that order and it's not hard to see why.. if you start with porn, any fans you accrue are disappointed with your new work and everyone thinks you're trying to 'sanitize' or something and you've become a prude
but if you start with a regular story then do porn, people are like 'alright, he knows how to do regular stories, no reason he can't branch out' and if they dont like porn they can just wait for your next projecting knowing you're likely to do either kind.
