Speaking of all white, I finished this one today too. Although this was more the result of my wanting to just draw a finalized version of some concept art.

I did learn how to do text outline in Manga Studio which is the super exciting (for me, since I've lamented not being able to do that for years.)

The box is unnecessary, especially with ramming into your otherwise great composition and the gradient that feels a bit tacky. Your lines have that moebius-like feeling can be confident without such obvious digital effects. People use it to add "pop" to art that isnt so good otherwise so I automatically get such connotations.

Thank you my man. I'll try to rework these poses.
As for Ezekihell's expression, it's more apathetic than anything. He's passionate about music and his friend harry, while a good singer, is not really a competent musician. The joke is that he sometimes play the bass parts on the studio releases. So Ezekihell's more like in a "serious mode" all the time.
Oh and Marie's short and fat. So yeah, that's why i draw her that way, but thanks for the body construction advices.

Also, reposting my shit. I just woke up so i'm not going to post the changes yet

I considered putting more on this page, but however I cut the scene up the page-by-page pacing felt awkward I decided giving the titular character a whole page to herself might be appropriate

>>92991690
It reads well. You got two characters well established here so it's not a problem. You don't go all random with your scenes so it's okay. I'd be unreadable if you put establishing shots everywhere like some people do on their comic. When i draw a comic, i think of it like a movie, i establish the scene, then I see where i can place my virtual camera to work on the scene i'm writing. I really try to think like a film maker since this is the only way to do it for me easily.

bottomline, it's all good. And i like the scientist girl. It seems it's going to a place that's more lighthearted dark humor than fucking depressing dark so it's alright in my book

I'm currently writing 2 comics, a one shot porno comic about pirates, and a long term fantasy comic. I've run into a little bit of a problem that I feel like I can really expand on. I accidentally made my "villain" a villain of because the plot says so rather than a real villain.

So, what I mean by this is; he's an honest to god good military cop who just wants what's best for the Empire. He doesn't drink, smoke, or really have a family (I honestly think writing him I made him asexual on accident) except for his father, the leader of the Grand inquisition, who would physically and emotionally abuse him and even go so far as to whip him with a cat-o-nine for stepping out of line. Because of this, he's stern and hard on the outside, but has a real enjoyment for childish and whimsical things like candy, toys like dolls and wooden trains and specific pancakes (Purple Bunny Rabbit Pancakes), however he feels like he can never really enjoy these things because of his position and rank, and because of his father. So he's an adult with the authority of a captain, but the brains and ideology of a child, believing in ideas of chivalry and honor. So, I guess the real question is, what now? Should I make him the main character or should I change him? And if so how?

The basic idea of my comic is like Naruto during the chunin exams, kids have to fight/do missions and stuff to get grades etc.

>>92993781

This guy looks pretty cool, I love his design. I've only watched a bit of Naruto but your idea sounds pretty cool. Can't wait to see more.

I have a question for the thread, is it possible to be your own critique? I know its better to share stuff with people for critique, but I don't really know anyone I can share stuff with. Plus I'm not sure about posting stuff online.

>>92994077
From my (albeit limited) knowledge and experience, it's not a good idea to be your own critic.
You'll either be too lenient on yourself, settling for mediocre even though you can do much better. OR too harsh, not looking at the things you did well, so you can keep them.

>>92993781
Reminds me of Boku no Hero Academia with the forearms. I'd like to see a western take on the premise of young super heroes going to actual super hero schools.

Aren't there several but a lot of them just don't get talked about due to obscurity or being terrible. It certainly doesn't seem like a totally ignored subgenre. Between tons of creators growing up with Potter and superheroes there's likely a whole bunch of comics and stories that aren't well known due to lack of proper promotion.

I had the really autistic idea to try making a comic about wild pokemon trying to survive. I don't want the pokemon to have internal dialogue or speak in pokemon language. They'd just say their names and use body language. I really don't think that a comic with little to no speech would be very engaging, though.

You were right anon. It does look better without the box.

>>92985854

When do you have to worry about your work being too similar to another story?

I'm going to make a comic about a big guy and small girl talking about videogames and it will be a success!

>>92995939
Never. Your execution will probably not even resemble that other story's unless you're straight stealing imagery from it. Even accidentally stumbling on the same character archetypes and story beats can yield wildly different results that appeal to totally different people.

>>92994077
You should be able to criticize your own work, it's part of improving as an artist/writer. As you learn more about your medium, you'll be better able to notice what doesn't work well in a picture/story as you make it, and you'll make changes accordingly. Still, you'll never be able to catch everything, especially if you're still learning, so getting critique from others is also helpful.

>>92990851
the acronym has never been legitimate
though it doesnt hurt anything

>>92996298

Yeah I agree, you should be able to learn from your own mistakes, I just wish I knew some writing group I could go to, I was a part of one, but the leader stepped down and no one wanted to replace them, so the group stopped.

>>92995391
Welp, I know how I'm spending my afternoon

>>92992012
there's nothing wrong with a sympathetic villain. The important thing is that he opposes the main character. The protagonist can totally be morally inferior to the antagonist, i mean everyone loves watching Zenigata fail to catch Lupin

>>92993781

Do we do writer/artist meet ups in this thread or does that go in another general?

>>92998126

>>92998126
You can post here. Just the other day I saw a "Work on your writing thread" around here, which I think would also be an appropriate place to post.
Do you have a sample of your work up anywhere?
I'm mostly an artist, but I would also like to do a little writing and vice versa if I had to work with a writer.

>>93003338
Kinda, more creepy cute than anything. Adding some eyebrows could go a long way

>>93003338
I personally feel as if she goes beyond the yandere aesthetic and heading for the psychotic range.
I guess it's the fact that it looks like she's almost biting her lip while at the same time smiling. Looks kinda creepy.

not very, mainly due to lack of eyebrows and small pupils. if the features were more delicate though, it's possible.. cuteness could be attained.

Yes.

Looks like someone who has a gentle soul, but has suffered a lot (Is his/her nose cut off?) and/or has some beastly features.

>>93004679
Ideally, you're not supposed to care if you make it or if it will pay off. You should only care because its a story or gag you want to make.

That being said, I also worry the same thing, because I have huge plans for what im working on.

What are they guys? Putting it out there makes it feel more real. Someday I want to have a sort of studio suite where I can work on my comic and other artists are just rooms down. Eating lunch together and discussing ideas, sometimes we'd be missing a few people because they're pushing deadlines. I can imagine staying there all day.

Can you just self-publish an issue and sell them at cons or should you have an avid online following beforehand?

>>93005289
>tfw art school was just like that.
I almost wish I didnt graduate the other day, because now we're all going our separate ways.

Anyways my plans are to gain such a huge following I could pitch it as a short tv series or video game. Mostly video game because I've had this idea since middle school

Hello there fellow anons. You guys seem to have more experience on this so I wanted to ask you about hosting comics.

What do you think is a good option or what are the pros and cons? Like I know you can pretty much selfplublish with your own website or with tumblr, but there is also tapastic and webtoons and similar. What are your opinions?

>>93006078
I still support the free comic hosting sites meant for hosting comics.

Here you go.
[WARNING]
This comic might confusing and crazy and stupid.

>>93006252
Has there been problems with those sites already? Or is it because of how they "profit" system works?

>>93007176
There was a very shady right of first refusal clause added to their terms of service a while back. It basically said that for any comic on the site, they had the right to make an offer within 30 days of that comic being given an outside publishing offer. Right of first refusal is something most publishers have to pay creators for, so this was seen as a shady way to restrict creators for Tapas's own gain.
Thankfully, they removed that clause, but a lot of their trust with comic artists has been broken.

>>93007483
I see. Checking on the issue now, seems Tapas says they wanted to "help" creators because sometimes they accept unfair offers, but if that's the intention they should probably just offer advice in that area instead of outright sounding shady. Thanks for sharing.

>>93007862

Dude don't give a shit what kind of fans you might get or whatever just draw what you like and people who like it will read it. The moment you try to pander to anyone but yourself your comic is no longer yours.
The chances of you becoming like Homestuck popular and having a rabid fanbase are slim to none.

Yeah some cartoon show that's made in Jordan. Just a couple of sequences since they were looking on the job site I browse for someone to finish where their storyboard artist couldn't for some reason.

Don't think the series is released or anything since I can't find it anywhere online so I'm keeping hush about it out of respect.

The lack of eyebrows and small pupils are a specific/deliberate character trait, although I was not intending to make it look like she had no nose, more of an upward angle, i'll have to work on that

Hey guys, for anyone reading Boys Land in these threads, I wanted to share this page/poll just in case you missed it or haven't seen it yet.

http://www.strawpoll.me/13107063

We'd like to use the results to understand how people feel towards some of these characters so far.

Also, if you haven't given it a read yet, we got lots of content right now and we're gonna be heading to our finale of the first arc soon! About another month and a half I think and we'll be done.

but man it was hard to pick, because i love the main two so much, but I love mr glasses kid a ton too. and the villain that always gets hurt is great

>>93008710
You know, dont give a fuck about this shit. It was stated by a lot of people that if character is TRIGENDERED HELISEXUAL TRANS-FEMALE MANGOKIN just to pander to "progressive" tastes, then this character is not good.

I, myself, have similar sort of problem with comic story, but I don't think that my problem is interesting to spew it out.

why is art so frustrating? anyone else yell in frustration everytime?

maybe erase a bit of the top part of each letter - just enough to separate them from the dividing line while still keeping it obvious they're horizontally aligned with the letters above

Weeb drawing style, and clearly you need to work on anatomy (not that you have no sense of it, just clearly in beginning stages of learning), also find the dialogue where everyone on this page talks with a heightened arrogance annoying.

But I do like how the red window with the tree flows through the page in and out of several panels.

Also you mentioned the word balloons. The grey border on them in weird? Try just black solid lines without varying the width. I dunno to be honest the whole style screams cringy webcomic, and changing the bubbles isn't going to change how you chose to draw it. You seem maybe ok with that? You called it weeaboo yourself?

Oh is that person is known? I haven't been on /co/ in forever. I doubt they could be a troll though putting that much effort into creating something.

A bit late to the party here but I'm personally trying to get a blend of not-so-realistic and cartoon-ish styles you could say. I don't want it to be the typical (and overdone) anime style although that is the best I have got after years and years of being mostly a weeb.

This is the end of chapter 1, I hope you enjoyed it, something very important... and historically forgotten happens in chapter 2 so get hype! That is, if im even able to pull it off, because its just so epic and been done and yet not been done at all ever so many times before, if that makes any since. I dont want to talk to much about it until I start posting pages. Also people are telling me to put my pages behind a pay wall and just have the first chapters of my projects for free, but the rest you have to pay a dollar a month to see on patreon.

It's been a while since my tablets been down but more Ghost Puncher content is on the way!
Lots of story stuff has been being planned and there are many exciting ways this story is going to go.
As far as art goes, I have redesigned Atlas to be less generic looking.
His original design was very basic and cookie-cutter, with a red jacket, jeans and sneakers.
With this new design, I gave him a Ghost Buster style jumpsuit with spooky patches on it.
The back of the jumpsuit will have a pretty sweet logo on it, but you'll have to wait for it.

I much prefer this design and I hope you do too!

Stay tuned.

>>93026801
A bit of nitpick but the color of the "Ghost" word doesn't look good over the pink gradient. Is not that it gets lost per se, but it's just not the greatest contrast with do much light in the middle. Maybe if it had some inverse color strokes like "Puncher" does, but seeing the flames I'm not sure how it could work better. Have you tried other combinations?

>>93027963
interesting, this makes it look like the sun's coming up in the distance.. or it would, if it also got darker as it got desaturated

>>93028018
I suppose. It's just.. as you pointed out, it's no masterpiece.. and that time could have been put towards something you genuinely cared about.

How do you fuckers find the courage to post your comic in new places, especially ones with cynical, volatile communities?

I'm always scared that my small fanbase means I might accidentally build up a hatedom before a fandom if I'm not careful where I share.

>>93029612
Mostly by not giving a damn fuck and just hoping people will like what I'm doing, which is in turn something I like.

I don't! nobody knows me, but nobody hates me.

You just gotta post man. Thats all I can say. There are tons of artists who get mad hate and/or get memed on but still post regularly. If they express genuine criticisms, improve what your bad at. If they just hate on you for existing, ignore them. Once you let yourself get baited, they won't let you leave unscathed.

>>93029612
Just go for it, man. You'll never no until you share it. You really shouldn't worry about hatedom, its more likely people will just pass over any small comics they dislike than take the time out of their days to hate on them

Don't post often. Just a little taste. See what the reaction is. Then fade back for a while so people forget it.

>>93029612
The biggest hurdle every artist needs and should get over is the fear of rejection.
Many of us were given praise as children and it warped our sense of reality.
If you throw yourself out there and take the worst of the worst with stride and learn from it, the only place you can go is up.
Don't be afraid to show your stuff off and be told it's shit.
A single person pointing out your comic or art is garbage is more constructive to your journey as an artist than 10 people telling you it looks great.
You've gotta fundamentally change your mindset and how you look at your own art.
And also don't be Tom Preston.

offer them lewds of characters in your comic for $5+ donations

>>93030605
Early pages are a popular reward, as well as WIPs, bonus art, and streams

>>93030764
To be honest I've thought about that, but I've heard that drawing lewds/porn can have a negative effect on your reputation, and I want to make a living off of my art without only being known for porn.

>>93030785
>Early pages
Can this still be a decent incentive if you don't have a consistent update schedule?

>bonus art
My only problem with this is that I don't want anything locked behind a paywall, (unless I do do porn, in which case maybe only the 18+ stuff would cost money/patron status,) but I've heard of people offering to take requests from patrons.
Is that a good idea or does it get too easily out of hand if you start getting a lot of patrons?

I don't want to offer something I have to go back on should I get lucky and build a large following.

I know it's pretty late in the threads life, but these are the ruffs of some MC's I've been conjuring up lately. Without knowing a bit about them, how do they look?
I know the lines and anatomy are a bit wonky, but these are early, early ruffs. Do they have appeal? Do they have the wanted atributes of webcomic characters?

Do you guys think my cover page should be bordered or should I fill up the entire page?

>>93035924
more than a bit wonky, but ... frankly no. They look like a new cartoon on comedy central that will be canceled in 13 episodes but actually turn out to be really funny, like Life and Times of Tim
i realize you didn't ask for proofreading, but the word is rough. Your comic's going to need all the help you can get (and we are right here to give it, buddy), so juvenile spelling won't do any favors for its overall tone. If you're below 3rd grade like that, it's best you drop your WIPs by us for some proofreadin'.

>>93035924
oh and it's also Ariel. Aerial is a british word for an antenna or an adjective meaning in-the-air. Unless that was an intentional thing, like a pun or like she has really shitty parents.
in case I'm just gettin' you down in the dumples, I can at least say they have a lot of personality and I can really see this working as a story.

Both those spelling errors were intentional. Not sure why I stuck with ruff, just easier to type out I guess. But I wanted her name to be as "in the air" as possible. I was thinking of changing it to just Arial, but is Aerial an outright bad name? Cause I kind of like it, but I'm not attached to it

>Do they have the wanted atributes of webcomic characters?
I don't think that exists. If a "webcomic character" got a movie or were adapted from a book, ect., would they still be a "webcomic character", or would they turn into a "movie character" or have been a "book character" all of a sudden? Characters aren't really specific to mediums, characters are characters. Appeal is what happens when the audience feels a character is relatable, so to make an appealing character, give them a trait that real people have. Make them believable.

So I just had the greatest idea for a webcomic! The story is about a man who fights monsters and wins all battles with one kick. It'll be called "One Kick Man". The protagonist gained his seemingly infinite strength from doing 100 jumping jacks, 100 crunches, and 100 bicycle kicks every day for 3 years. He loses all of his hair due to the stress from the regimen. Also, he meets a cyborg who becomes his apprentice and they live together.

Oh, yeah. I already understand that this is 4chan. But people in these threads are beginner webcomics, and I don't even have my first panel drawn out. Seems like a good place for some discreet inquisition

Hello my 4th dimension-deficit brethren. It's your animation brother from another mother.

Just created my channel trailer and what I hope will be a good introduction to my channel. And what I hope will soon be a bi-weekly ongoing animated series.

It gives the impression these are actual real stories you animated, rather than things that are BASED on real stories. Kind of misleading, unless that's what you're going for. Either way, I like your stuff a lot dude and wish you success.

I'm telling stories about some of the wild shit that can only happen on the internet. I'm sort of Tron-ing it up by showing a visual representation of everything we do.

A lot of this is just going to be me talking a lot about and introducing people to internet culture but every two weeks I'll be uploading the next chapter in an ongoing story about a girl treking around the internet and trying to be the first person to make 1-billion friends/followers/subscribers.

>It gives the impression these are actual real stories you animated, rather than things that are BASED on real stories. Kind of misleading, unless that's what you're going for.

Honestly I've been struggling with this a lot lately. This might sound kind of ridiculous (and hopefully maybe some of you can prove me wrong) but people just don't like fiction on Youtube. They like let's-plays and blogs. So I'm considering telling a fictional story AS a blog.

I try to keep my stories as plausible as possible because I think the shit that happens here is pretty fucking fascinating (and some of the videos on my channel actually are about real events). Because of this a lot of people tend to think what I'm talking about is true and I'm KINDA considering letting them believe that.

If I tell this story as blog it might drum up a lot more interest and I MIGHT be able to keep it from blowing up in my face if I play my cards right.

If I introduce more fantastical elements then the fiction nature of this channel will become obvious to people who are paying attention. Then I never have to actually outright state that what I'm making is fictional and just let people figure it out for themselves. Some people will be pissed but hopefully more people will stick around.

I don't know. It's something I'm still kind of on the fence about.

I am barely learning to draw, but I want to practice making comics. I already went through Understand Comics and Making Comics.

You little fucker, you made that acronym up didn't you.

>>93039173
for drawing size, go 3000 px wide or above. I went below, and I've never stopped regretting it.
for display size, somewhere from 900 to 1200 px wide is the best to resize it to when you're done.
vertical space is, of course, infinite.

>>93039186
It's a mixed bag. Some of the stories are real events that I'm just trying to give my own perspective on, some are based on real events that I have no way of proving happened and I'm just going to embellish the shit out of and some are just 100% made up because I feel like they need to be told (the only two stories that are in the 4O4 Tales playlist fall under that category).

Do you think I need to start making more of an effort to label what's real and what's not?

naw naw you don't have to label it, if we're talking about legends, rumors, innuendo, people know what that is. the important thing is none of it is shit you completely fabricated to make a good story
and if there's speculation, it'd be nice if you phrased it that way, but it's clear you know what you're doing

Seriously, you should be looking just about anywhere but the comic itself to get money.

Patreon is nice way to generate revenue from things that don't typically but it's really not something you should depend on.

>>93040906
>no patrons
You really should try posting your comic elsewhere, as it seems the only place you have it is DA. DA really ain't a great site to find or read comics on, even a Tumblr would be better suited. Try even making mirrors on other comic host sites, like Smackjeeves, Webtoons, and Tapastic to expand your audience. Remember, unless you're already popular, your audience isn't going to come to you, you've got to come to your audience
