Writing/creating comics

>>93858821
Y'know what, dipshit? Nobody fucking cares. Comic books are dead, the entire medium reduced to little more than an IP farm for other media.

And frankly, for you to come to 4chan of all places for advice, is a strong indicator of your abject idiocy, and that anything you'd produce would be nothing more than a bout of screeching retardation.

Fuck off, kill yourself, and never blight the world with any of your garbage.

Don't listen to this faggot, OP. He's clearly very salty from a time that he had the same ambitions as you but it went nowhere for him. He sees a part of himself in your post and the tears filled his eyes and he hammer punched the keyboard to create a sad message that gives us a glimpse into his depressed world.

You write whatever the fuck you want to write and if it's good enough people WILL pick up on it. And no, comics are NOT a dead medium and with the recent storm of super hero movies they couldn't really be more relevant.

I'll give you some advice!
>is working on my short story writing a good place to start?
YES! Practice writing characters, creating interesting scenarios, etc. If you don't know where to start, just make a list of things you like in other stories. For example, lone heroes, spaceships, cute girls. You'll probably find there's some interesting combinations there.

>How much should I consider layouts when scripting even if I'm an awful artist?
A lot, I should say. It doesn't matter if you're a good artist, I think you should thumbnail out the layouts anyway. Bear in mind that there isn't a set of instructions for writing comics! Feel free to do things your own way! I like to draw an extremely rough comic in lieu of a script, I get a much better feeling if the pacing and sight gags are working that way.

In terms of resources, it doesn't really matter, just get stuck in!

Good luck, man!

I'd say fire up the google machine, and look for scripts for books that you can find and read. There's a lot of ways to script, and no two writer/artist teams do it the same way.
That being said, yes, basically any kind of writing you do will help you practice writing, and hopefully help get a finished product out there.
>resources to make a start
Not sure what you mean here, but a few books you should read are
McCloud's Understanding Comics
Moore's Writing for Comics
Eisner's Comics and Sequential Art
PAD's Writing for Comics & Graphic Novels
>layouts when scripting
I'd use them liberally. Get it out of your head, and onto paper.
>makingcomics.com
Never heard of it.
>writethread
It pops up every now and then, but it's hard because of how slow writing can be, and it's generally off topic to actual /co/ stuff.
