Daaaamn I messed with it a bit and that helps the clarity tremendously, thanks. I hadn't really realized how needlessly dark I was making things. I think my tablet may show things lighter than other monitors.

Also added a new character because why not.

>>93196959
It really depends on execution. My character Villithist here is the epitome of edginess in the form of a mcfarlane/giger abomination. BUT in the story his ridiculously edgy demeanor and appearance is acknowledged and poked fun at for how childish it is to act that extreme.

I'd say going by your chart Ryuko is around the point where it's hard to take seriously and Shadow is when it's impossible to take seriously.

figured people would misinterpret. Well, anyone who'd believe that would believe anything anyway.
I 'sperged out' over being told what opinions i was allowed to have, same as every online community I leave. It's the nice thing to do, instead of sticking around where you aren't wanted.. and where apparently it's "normal" to consider bikinis NSFW and if you think otherwise you should stfu.

though I was already kinda packing my bags every time there was a new rule added to make it a safespace. no "offensive" talk.. something which apparently only applied to me, and not to people talking about exterminating the gypsies man it feels weird defending them. but seriously they aren't THAT bad.
Kinda felt like people were on my side about the rules thing though, since I didn't have to say anything. the idea of worrying about being offensive was mocked as soon as that was posted.

>>93217243
Actually this >>93217281
You learn from observing and then trying to copy what you observed. Doing so with other styles is not different from drawing from life. You learn what they are doing right and then you use that new knowdledge for your own style.

You have to make sure you copy good art though, if you try to copy Liefeld unironically you are not on the best start.

hey old liefeld was good, he just lost his way after waking up one day and realizing he was liefeld. he was never the same after that

>Spunky young lass Roxanne Robinson is an archaeologist at Haven City College, an interest she picked up from her late grandfather
>On an investigation down-under in the ruins of the ancient Australian empire she discovers a scrappy young wild-child named Rex, with a connection to "the dreamtime"
>This connection not only gives him latent spirituality and a sixth sense, a profound understanding of spoken language, which is useful for her purposes
>The two go on globe-trotting adventures for the mysterious, both of the ancient world and things that never left, but were only hidden
>Setting is essentially Crimson Skies + Indiana Jones + Tin Tin

>Doing so with other styles is not different from drawing from life.
I have to disagree. While you can learn a lot from other people's artwork, especially if you want to draw stylized art yourself, it is not the only thing you should study. Limiting yourself to only studying other artists means you'll pick up all their mistakes and bad habits as well. Just bite the bullet and do some life drawings, figure sketches and anatomy studies are good for you, I promise.

>>93217922
It's just mar-mite and pets, Anon!

>>93217933
I never meant to disregard life drawing, I was more on the side of doing both. Not just stick with one method but try more than one at least once. Sorry if I wasn't clear there.

>>93217752
Being Liefeld is hard.

>>93217243
Practice, practice and more practice.
Loomis's anatomy isn't actually very helpful for beginners I'd recommend Hampton:
https://archive.org/details/FigureDrawingDesignAndInventionMichaelHampton
A lot of gitting gud is just mileage. Draw every day for at least an hour or so. Grind some studies, quickposes and croquis cafe are good figure drawing resources:
https://www.quickposes.com/en
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOq-SnwbtX9u231janaHRCo3tcTWshKML
Remember to learn things that are actually applicable to your artistic goals. If you want to draw comics, invest some time into learning backgrounds and visual storytelling as well.

they're different, but they aren't of different value. most people aren't interested in drawing real life with all of its mistakes and bad habits. they want the clean perfection of 2d

I'm trying to draw Guro porn. still YEARS away from being able to draw it well enough to be worth posting. But because of these threads I've been able to at-least recognize my "artistic goals"

the style I'm looking for requires a strange mix of

Beauty - the characters have to be beautiful, both male, female, and horrible nightmare abominations
Realism - the guts, and anatomy need to be more or less correct. With out this there is no guro, just splashes of red drawn across mickymouse
Cartoony - the characters being mutilated cannot be too real looking or the art becomes hard to fap to

>>93218403
interesting. you want realistic gore but you don't want realistic people? well, I'd suggest you study the likes of Franken Fran. That comic manages to be likeable even if you don't like gore, because it's not so much gory as ... medical horror comedy. The kind of thing you know the artist studied surgery for real

>Roxanne has to civilize Rex and get him used to interacting with others, especially in urban life.
>She's a red-head with a ponytail vaguely resembling a foxtail. She wears a pilot's jacket and indeed pilots a biplane.
>There should be a scene where they're on a train and he wants everything off the food-cart as he has no concept of money and has never seen so much food in one place at once

>In reality, they're just tryhard idiots who manage to both be pathetically ineffective at doing anything actually evil, and yet still unintentionally cause mayhem wherever they go.
>Occasional butting heads with a group of adventurers who, despite being the "heroes" consist entirely of the That Guys you have at your gaming table.

Your anatomy has serious issues. None of the characters look right. Spend a long time studying life and real-world anatomy before you continue making comics.

>>93220199
Just compare your old art to your current art, if you don't cringe to your old art you're doing something wrong...
Or something is wrong with your head, I don't know. Everyone naturally improves after drawing a lot.

>>93219761
The art is good but the storytelling is all off. The panels and the actions within the panels should be leading the eye through the page. Having the speach bubble from panel 3 cross over with the first panel confuses the reader.

Bro, don't lie. I saw the chat, Nessie told you to chill out and you went off on them about societal norms and how they were so wrong that you weren't even going to tell them why they were wrong, and declared you were leaving. Anyone can enter the chat and search for your username and see your posts, so don't bullshit us like this. J. Nelson was just posting that bikini pic of his character in NSFW just to be safe and ONLY you had a problem with it. Maybe if you were capable of calming your autism you would have made something of yourself in webcomics but instead you persist as a shining example of what not to do.

On a related note, what's your opinion on references? I think there's a fine line between paying hommage and ripping off and it's pretty hard to make it natural or give the reference a purpose within the context of the story, so they suck pretty often. But they're so fun to do...

oh boy, good luck to you.

Ironically, if your art was better, this could be pretty popular I think.

The last two bubbles are very good and the idea of using speechbubbles like panles is interesting. Work on the first four black bubbles, they writing is a bit too lofty there and Comes across as silly. Tone it down just a Little bit and it will be perfect.

>>93225369
I usually have an interesting Setting or character that I want to show. I put them on a rough layout and then think about how to get from Point A to B and fill in the gaps. If I have a character worked out well their dialogue and Actions emerge naturally.

I recommend Stephen King's (may /lit/ forgive me) autobiography if you're new to writing. It's entertaining and provides some practical Story-telling advice.

>>93225954
except for the chilling out, which is not what happened. I was advocating chilling out, whereas Nessie laid down the law, like any good mod when you cross the line. and if that's the line, then I'm out. Because if I can't tell someone they're being overly cautious to the point of self-censorship, and if I can't get into a mildly heated argument about the ridiculous idea that bikinis could ever, ever be considered nsfw, then.. yeah, that's not a good discussion place for me. because if I stick around I'm just gonna keep arguing and ruining your good time. If you find you have to hold your tongue for 8 out of every 9 posts, you're in the wrong place.

>>93225862
What do they need the animals for if they can photosynthesize, and don't have mouths?
I think your line work is pretty smooth! Do you construct your figures at all before using a pen, or do you start with step 2 and draw the whole owl?
The figures at the bottom-right are hard to understand. I know that one of them is supposed to explain how this creature talks, but I don't understand the transition between the top and the bottom. Not entirely sure what right-most bottom - a hand maybe?

I'll read anything, but personally I become attached to the characters. If the characters are good (in terms of what they do, how they approach problems, their interactions with their surroundings and other characters, dialogue), then I can forgive a generic plot, boring backgrounds, and boring panel work. The writing must be good.

That's just doodles, mostly character designs.

It's about a sorcerer living in a Floating Castle doing sorcery stuff: turning a teddy-bear into a servant, encountering Monsters and so on. At one Point he gets stabbed and bleeds so much that his Castle flows over and the blood rains down like a waterfall.

Never seen gravity falls, I mostly take my Inspiration from films, random stuff and occasionally manga.

Consider using constructions lines to help give you smoother and more confident looking lines. At first it seems like a waste of time, but it helps keep your art clean and your designs consistent. After a while you can drop the construction process.

>>93226433
I think your castle has a very similar silhouette to a spaceship. Maybe some embellishments would help to really drive home the fact that this is a castle.

Hey /hyw/, my job pays for 25k in college so I'm thinking of going for some sort of art degree since it won't put me in debt. I've always thought of art degrees as a meme, but if I'm not paying I might as well do something I enjoy.

That being said, I've been considering starting a webcomic on the side. I've also been considering the possibility that if it becomes popular enough I could move onto patreon and eventually bring it to life through animation. Or at least garner enough sway and portfolio work to move to a studio as a storyboarder and work my way up.

Is this a realistic plan?

Pic vaguely related; style I've been toying with as I get used to a tablet.

>>93227171
all i can say is read the reviews from people who've gone to the college of your choice.. because the reason nobody can agree on the value of an art degree is that some schools are great and some are terrible
you aren't gonna get much for 25k though.
It's a realistic plan for sure, but not as realistic as, say, learning a trade and getting a normal job. Something you don't hate, that doesn't stress and tire you out so badly that you can't do your comic on the side.
Pretty cool style

Some layouts I drew this week. Anyone else have the tendency to draw more panels on a large piece of paper and less on a small one?

>>93227249
we certainly work within the boundaries of what we have.. the few times I work on paper, I find I'll start drawing smaller and smaller as I feel the urge to conserve

>>93227222
Oh, I'm fully aware it isn't the most profitable thing. But I sort of made a choice to actually try and make something to enrich people's lives over my bank account.

And top be fair, I most likely only have the grades for community college. I'm confident once I have training for real I can make a portfolio that will speak for itself.

>>93227367
If that's your motivation, then you'll go far. but just keep in mind there are ways to get trained other than college. There are definitely lots of options to consider but your plain is a valid one

On one hand the art feels very sterile and the style of humor is literally McFarlane (plus "Hitler dropped out of art school" is a pretty overplayed gag imo), at the same time the characters are likable enough to make the joke work anyways, and I do want to see more of this to get a better idea.

Its funny, in high school everyone said i was drawing kim possible, then was told it was rick and mortyish, and now you point it out, i can see its mcfarlineish.....goddamn it, i'm just trying to make it look like it is in my head lol

>>93217243
SHIT ARTISTS GET THE FUCK OFF MY THREAD REEEEEad the /ic/ sticky dude, seriously. Loomis will make your construction better but you need to study work from life and images to get better at drawing people and shit. In order to get better at THAT you need to first get better at sight drawing, for which you'll need Keys to Drawing. Work through that at like an hour a day pace and you'll see your studies start to have more of an impact, both from life AND from Loomis. Also the first three Draw a Box lessons will help you a lot with pencil control, perspective, drawing circles/ellipses, and box construction. If you don't get it at first don't get discouraged, just do a couple exercises a day as warm up practice.

>>93227851

Speech balloon tails are rather wide, especially in panels 1, 3 and 5; they should taper along their length. The bases should be about the same width as the connectors in panels 1 and 2.

Speaker in Panel 2 is Connor, in panel 1? Maybe have a tail leading off the lower balloon that points to Connor in panel one and breaks the panel border.

stark black and white is a tough thing to pull off, at least one shade of gray makes things a lot better...
but in this case, that would mean logically you'd wanna make the sky gray and change the clouds to white. and then you'd have a ton of other white-shaded-to-gray and gray-shaded-to-black stuff to worry about.. I wouldn't blame you if you didnt want to
i would suggest though that you may keep it binary and just turn down the contrast a little. what if the white was light gray or the black was dark gray or blue

My friend and I had an idea for a Marvel Comics AU called 8-Track Marvel - Reimagining of the Marvel Comics universe as a 70s period piece with Lovecraftian themes
Ancient elder gods and cosmic forces are breaking into our physical plane (called 616 by SHIELD), causing various tears in reality where space and time are warped (how many characters gain their powers)

Captain America is from the Revolutionary War, a legendary soldier who fought for the Colonies' independence and was rumored to have punched King George himself in the face.
In the year of the American Bicentennial (1976), he mysteriously reappears from a patch of New England forest that was in fact a time-space anomaly. As a result of exposure to these energies he cannot age.

Spider-Man gains his powers from the symbiote and has a techno-organic costume, kind of like the Guyver. SHIELD attempts to clone the symbiote but finds that it will not obey anyone who isn't Peter, leading to 8TM's version of the Clone Saga.

Black Panther is an Idi Amin style dictator that stages a military coup in southern Africa, forming a new nation that he dubs Wakanda, distributing fake history and propaganda with the help of SHIELD. Looks and sounds like Big Man Tyrone

>>93237824
Tony Stark and his Stark Industries profited heavily off the Vietnam War. He has plans drawn up for the Iron Man armor, but doesn't actually don it until much later in the story. He and Bruce Banner are friends, and Tony is partially responsible for the events leading to Banner becoming the Hulk.

Dr. Strange is the head of SHIELD’s paranormal investigation division

Scarlet Witch is Dr. Strange's apprentice, meeting him as a young girl on his return from the far East. She studies the ways of magic hoping to one day rescue her brother Pietro from a dimensional anomaly that opened up in Eastern Europe (Latveria?).

The Punisher (Frank Castle) was a Vietnam War veteran who served in the same unit as Johnny Blaze. Johnny and Frank were forever changed by their experiences in Vietnam. Frank came to the conclusion that the world’s problems would never truly be solved unless he took them into his own hands, becoming a vigilante PMC who eventually takes over the Baja California and makes it his own nation.

The Fantastic Four were astronauts on the last manned mission to the Moon.

Black Widow, Wasp and Ms. Marvel are “Tony’s Angels”

Wolverine is a very minor character in this universe. He is SHIELD's janitor who is surprisingly unfazed by all the weirdness that goes on. He doesn't really fight, he only uses his claws to open beer cans.

I have a webcomics (not famous) without patreon or similar so 0 money raised.
So the envy or something else due to money should not exist all for free only my time that is lost for the realization.
But obviously there are users who comment negatively.

They usually have one of these behaviors.

User 1
-When one of the female protagonists wearing dresses with neckline (Normal, non-pornographic).
The comments like cover yourself are coming soon.
Why? Are Muslims wearing burka writing them?

User 2

Those (always the same) who comment under each page as it comes out with It sucks or similar phrases in a negative way.
Why do they follow him if he does not like it?

User 3
Those who comment on every page with I feel disturbed or emotionally disturbed or similar things.
What??? Does not happen anything strange.

User 4
Those who comment that you have to close the webcomics because it sucks.
Do they really believe that one follows what they say?

I leave maximum freedom not censoring negative comment and other users usually respond to negative comments to defend the webcomics.

I would like to know your experience and if even your negative comments follow some patterns of behavior similar to or not to my own.

>>93217243
>>93217281
that guys correct

your art style should be based off all the things you like in one


you like how one artist draws eyes? take it

you like how another person draws mouths? take it

do this for everything and soon you will have your own style

eventually over time this will mold into YOUR style as you get more comfortable with recalling things from memory

this is what a lot of artists (if not ALL) do

kerbump

>>93217243
>>93243607
>>93217281

Actually that can screw you over in the long term.

You need an understanding of why an artist does something in order to learn something from it. Basically learn the basics like perspectives and figure drawing first otherwise you'll be stuck with habits that are hard to break.

Trust me, the aforementioned 'steal from other styles' was how I initially learned to draw and I regret it.

Because I'm so used to drawing a stylized form of eyes or noses, there were certain perspectives that I had problems with. A problem with one part of the body can lead to you moving other parts to other places and making a disproportionate figure. Having a bad foundation lead to mistakes in the art or it not feeling right. Then you have to rebuild that foundation in order to move foreword because everything you've learned holds you back from properly understanding how things flow and move on a page.

It's like building a house on an uneven framework.


My advice to you is basics first. And draw a lot. and I mean A LOT. I've been doing so for years and I still have a lot to learn/relearn.

Minimum canvas size (pixels) that I should be working in for a hypothetical print run?

>>93245994
What's your physical print size?
Produce your work at 300-600 dpi for print.

Pixels = dpi X print size.

>>93245994
Decent modern software should let you set up your canvas in inches/millimetres and dpi, so you don't need to think of dimensions in terms of pixels at all.

Identify and work out your final print size. This should ideally be a standard size and format to avoid problems in the long run.

Print ready artwork should be 300dpi minimum. Your drawn pages should be ideally 600dpi or higher.

The only time dimensions in pixels is important is when scaling down for web display.

internet's a mighty strange place, and obsessive behavior is on the rise. the important thing is to ignore it.

>someone finally specifically asks for pixels
>people still insist the dpi meme
answer the question that was asked, you hooved ungulates
>>93245994
3000 x 3882. that's assuming the same aspect ratio as an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. but remember to leave edges for 'bleed' (why the printers cant just do this themselves I have no idea)
Larger than that would be great, but no smaller than that (8.5 x 11 x 300 dpi is a bit on the small side)

>>93247700
my goddamn sides. also woo open robe

>>93247733
What make dpi a meme?
Do printers ask for work in pixels?

8.5 inches X 300dpi = 2550 pixels.
11 inches X 300dpi = 3300 pixels.
There, question answered, but only for 8.5 X11 paper.
The standard American comic book is about 6.625" X 10.25" and other countries will vary according to THEIR standard.

A printer will print exactly what you give them. They assume you know what you're doing and if it seems 'wrong', then either YOU made a mistake or YOU have a very good reason for doing it like that.

If you're going to work for print, then it's a good idea to know about how things get printed.

>>93247971
>>93247733
Woah woah, let's be civil. But yes I was looking for pixel size because I plan to be working on an iPad (yeah, yeah...) And I need to see if this program will let me work at a big enough size.

>>93247493
Shrinking down to web size is also a concern. I want to ideally work in a way where I can see the final page, so I know I didn't make the text/details too small. Is it a bad idea to work at 2500/3300 ish? Should I be going double that and scaling down? What's the practical benefit?

Thanks to all

>>93247752
thanks!

>>93198184
love the style, man. You gotta tumblr? I was in the same boat for a long time. Not confident in my writing and ability to pace out an epic story, but really interested in making a comic.

Then I found a writer that was interested in working with me and the vague concepts I had (plus rewriting the ones I was set on to make the story work better).

Maybe someone out there will be willing to help once you get the vignettes on the web to introduce the characters/world? I had years of false starts with lazy goons before I found my penguin.

>>93247971
Yeah but you select the paper size (if the printer even offers different options), and whatever you made will get scaled down. As long as it's big enough, and the right aspect ratio, you're good.
>>93248142
Web size should be 1000 wide, or so. So you'll definitely have to save separate files for web display and for future printing / working size.

Blue's contrary color is orange so it could work better if you want to go for an opposites/contrast path. Red works too but it may bee too strong of a color and your mc already has red eyes.

>>93251665
hmmm, maybe. It's a bit difficult to gauge with her since she's intentionally supposed to not look very natural, so going for warmer orange skintones doesnt seem totally doable, but I can experiment. I was thinking some purples could work, cause you know, protag is red white and blue, antag is green and purple and black, it's an established thing. The background could also be bleeding into the overall tone.

pic related is what I'm aiming for as far as the look and vibe goes.

>>93251653
yeah, figured I should give it another shot. I'm actually making two webcomics at the same time, one that's scripted and traditional and has flat colors and more of a regular hero's journey
vibe, and this one, which is experimentation and trying to cram in a lot of taboo stuff to try and make something that kinda pushes boundaries for how far out a webcomic can get.

>>93251812
>protag is red white and blue, antag is green and purple and black

>protag has primary colors -and white- while antag has secondary colors -and black-

Hey that works too. Yeah maybe some purples can do the job. Maybe try some yellow too, even if it breaks the secondary color scheme, yellow is related to stuff that looks sick like green does.

>>93251923
I could probably change her sweater to be purple pink ish. Her hair is supposed to be yellowish bone white, might've used too much white. maybe some more yellow on the skin? not a lot of room for it with all the black.

Maybe sickly yellow eyes?

>>93253395
I have to agree on the part of not being able to see how a nip progresses in their art

>>93230136

I'll look into that. I use Indesign CS2 to letter the pages, and you sometimes have to go with odd shapes to have a point at the end. If there isn't a good way to change it, maybe I should finally consider switching to Manga Studio 5.

>>93237916

>>93254189
At least take a look to see how it's done in MS5/CSP. I'm not that familiar with Indesign, but I'm guessing they're vector curves? Tails are essentially just a triangle with two curving sides and a short base; the key part is getting a uniform curve on both sides.

Looking at the page again, the balloon in panel 5 is nearly making a tangent with Connor's elbow; nudge it up a little to give it some space. Similarly, the balloon in panel 4 could move up and break the border (or move down away from the edge).

Those designs are neat anon. You are the one from the spider pantheon, right? Which aspects they cover? So far Kurvenne looks like war or similar.

I think I remember that. If I'm remembering right, it was just some random dickwad who was jealous of you for having Instagram followers.

Kurvenne is definitely war.
Nescus is a god of seeing and knowing. Lascera attempted to smother him in web but his eyes are unstoppable.
K'thir is the god of the moon (which, in this situation, is physically broken.).
Likewise, Quellte is the goddess of the sun, and all things round and radiant
Venoure is a god of nature, and takes the form of the fungus and plants that the spiders live around.
Xirana is the goddess of control and mastery. She is clothed entirely in grasping hands.
Pemelle is the goddess of webbing, weaving and delicate craftmanship in general.
Lascera is Death, and dangles precariously over every one, and every thing, winding ever down.
Nexenvon is the master of science and mindcontrol. Around him are a trio of floating pheromone censers (which are used to mindcontrol the slave drones) and he is decorated in bioluminescent fungi. He is said to be the ascended form of the mortal spider that discovered the art, and thus saved the spider race.
Kurvenne is the prince of the art of swords, and wears a necklace of the palps of his enemies. At some point, one of the characters dresses up a lot like him.

I have no idea what Rothe is but they're something.
Possibly hunting. Possibly darkness
