Since we're heading into the next part of our story we decided to update the main character's looks.

The current ones are actually pretty old concepts, so we wanted to move them into appearances more befitting of their personalities.

I think you need to flesh this out a lot more, since what you have told us so far doesn't sound really interesting on their hero-villain dynamic. Unless you aren't telling us everything.

>>94489526
A bunch of kids join a paranormal club after school and ghostly hijinks ensue as a loli bosses them around

I dont want to work on that anymore so you can have it

Wanted to include this question in this thread, to see what "style" you personally fall under:

"How do you guys handle your comic writing? Macro ----> micro (as in, making arcs made up of smaller arcs, etc) or vice versa (writing chapter by chapter in filling out semi-vague plot-lines)?"

>>94489792
I mean, I don't want to give away everything. Unless people want it. But I didn't want to flood the thread

>>94489882
just summarize it

>>94489747
Nah man, I'm just drunk and bored.
There you go another fucking idea: A webcomic about a guy being drunk and bored all the time its called: Bored Drunkless

Its a crippling depressing tale about a man further escaping the mundanity of life, in the bottle which becomes less and less effective over time, so he has to drink more and more.

A sober reflection on the nature of the struggling artist. You'd win the fucking webcomic equivalent of a fucking oscar for that melodramatic crap.

I'm on fucking fire tonight.

Hey that gives me an idea.

>>94489926
>it's about a bored drunk
>calls it bored drunk-less

Is the joke that it's ironic?

>>94489926
A webcomic about a man that is literally on fire. Like all the time. Everything he touches gets immolated. And he's very insecure about being naked all the time.

Its called: Burning Man.

>>94489922
I gotta hit the gym first. I'll post it after I get back

>>94489882
Just give a summary. You don't need to give away very specific details, just the key points that let us understand what is your thing about. Otherwise we can't really help you. Is like going to the doctor and when he asks were it hurts you don't say where.

>>94490020
Alright we can wait.

>>94489815
I wrote my reply on the previous thread here >>94489453

>>94490048
Thats kinda what I did then I started wondering if pre-planning arcs would streamline the writing process

before I got a chance to test that theory I wanted to look over the story's overall theme and main character's journey, which I had to revamp after having more concrete/relevant ideas connected to my life

>>94489530

>TFW finally got a tablet and it's like re-learning everything from square one.
And here I thought I'd finally be able to show off some stuff, but it looks like it's going to take another couple months to get anywhere passable.

>>94492399
If you want to struggle a bit less, while doing the linearts and what not look for any "stabilizer/stabilization" option on the brush or pen tool. I know SAI, ClipStudio and FireAlpaca have it and it works wonders since when using a tablet you don't have the same control of your pulse so it helps a lot.

>>94492517
Didn't know that existed, I'll give it a shot right now, thanks.

>>94492399
The learning curve is high, but you will get it. It might help to tape a piece of paper to your tablet to start with, if its surface is too smooth, but eventually you'll wanna just get used to the lessened friction it affords you

>>94492601
There's also a freestanding stabilizer called lazynezumi, basically just released by this one guy. He's a bro and a half, so

>>94492605
>>94492637
Neat, I'll give both those things a shot too, thanks.

>>94492763
You should just get clipstudio instead honestly.

>>94492801
My real problem is with lineart though, I can kinda work out everything else just fine.

Right now I'm using Fire Alpaca for that, it is flexible with the export options.

>>94492763
CSP has the same utility. Just use it.

>>94492858
Maybe dumb question but is there a way to change how the canvas looks in CSP? I can't really get used to the editorial page kind of look it has

>>94492919
I assume you mean the menus and stuff, not the canvas
I saw someone posting a screencap the other day and it was all in blacks, and it looked great, so I know it's possible to change the skin or whatever in CSP

Fan comics - good way to practice or a shitty crutch?

>>94493756
How exactly would making a fan comic be a shitty crutch?
Because you're not making the characters/subject matter?
That's like an entirely different area of making comics than actually drawing them.

>>94493795
I just know that in writing, fan fiction is seen as a pretty terrible way to actually progress as a writer.

>>94493991
Maybe not in writing, but If you want to practice actually drawing a comic they're great.

>>94489780

>>94493991
A lot of classics started out as fanfiction. It's basically just an exercise where you're given the setting and characters, and you have to do the rest.
Fuck, in a manner of speaking all tv or screenplay writing is fanfiction, you have to take the info given by the franchise creator and try to do your best fanfic of it

Here's a brief background of the world before the summary

>Takes place in a world where the three main factions
>One is a group that believes machine enhancements to replace broken and damaged limbs and organs is vital to humanities survival known as The Children of Autumn
>Other factions that's incredibly religious and believes that said machine enhancements are heresy. This faction makes up 80% of the world population
>Third faction is an offshoot of the Children of Autumn known as The Godless. These are people who took machine enhancements to the point of madness and have become abominations who tend to lose their sanity before completely replacing all flesh with metal.
>The Gods, to show their love for humanity, sends an angel to Earth once a year to protect them from evil. Each angel has a Ward who's raised at birth to follow the angel until their dying day.

In previous thread, anon gave good feedback:
>Cool background but study up on folds, right now her clothes look like play doh.
Made an effort but still missing something. Ideas for improvement?

>>94493991
Is not that fanfiction is a bad practice, since you still practice your prose and plot-character management. Is more like fanfiction is so full of 12-year-olds writing shit that it gets a bad fame.

>>94495452
Nice job. How'd you get so good at cloth folds so quickly?

>>94495452
Good job adding the clothing folds. The only small complaint i'd have is with her being distinguished from the background via having the same thin lines as it (adding some weight to her left contour) but I'd have to see what you do with the rest of the picture coloring wise

>>94495444
Plot summary

>It's been a year since the last angel had came to earth and a new one is about to arrive, named Camila.
>The ceremony that welcomes her is attacked by a Group of Godless and they removes her wings but keeps her alive.
>A nearby group of soldiers finds the temple and the massacre and the entire group dies fighting a Godless, all except for a young soldier named Isaac
>Camila's Ward died in the attack and Isaac becomes the new ward
>Camila wants to find out why the Godless attacked because they're normally not organized.
>Turns out the Children of Autumn entrusted a young convert named Silas Harkin to be a liaison to the Godless and to use them as a weapon should war break out.
>Silas Harkin however has become enthralled by the Godless and their quest to create a being known as "The Advent of Machines" who will usher in an age of machine perfection. to create this being he took Camila's wings thinking he can use them to create his own divine being.

Yada yada yada, they need to stop him.

>>94495624
OK well seems you at least got a "dynamic" right here, in that the villain has some bigger plans but made it personal for the hero by taking her wings, are the wings the source of her angelic powers or something like that? That way it makes things harder for the hero and also makes it even more of a personal offense.

Now I remember your concern on the last thread was about your villain being lame by being a guy who stands in the shadows pretty much. With this settled, I think that as long as we get some good POVs with the villains it should work fine. Give us the 2 perspectives in a puzzle-like manner and it should keep things interesting.

>>94495922
>are the wings the source of her angelic powers or something like that?
Yes. Also, the big thing that the villain holds over the heroes head is that if the wings themselves are destroyed than the angel who belongs to them is unable to maintain their form on Earth so he gets out of situations with that.

That's actual not bad. Especially if the villain isn't actually capable of fighting. Just be careful not to have him pull that out every time they face off.

Tumblr has a reblog system that let's your pages be shared more easily to reach more people, the platform itself is huge and it has a theme that is kinda easy to use (on our first post in the thread). You have to keep on check the dimension of your files though.

Tapas or Webtoons has the same layout for every comic ever but it also has an established community and you can get some revenue if you get popular enough too. You can also update on this site along with your other main as a mirror site of sorts.

Comic Fury and similars are free webcomic hosting sites and although some need you to have a bit of knowledge on code, they also have the plus of having some communities established already.

I updated West Tree's facebook.

How about you update your suicide by actually doing it instead of dragging it, your fans are waiting!

>>94495494
Thank you, I looked at some tutorials and doodled a lot. Still working on it!

>>94496281
I think most of those free hosting sites don't require you to know any code, that part is just optional. But if you don't use any, your site will just be the bare blank site with all of their auto-generated navigation links just in the default spot

>>94496803
Neat. I would appreciate a link to the best one of those tutorials and/or the one that focuses most on how you make your choice of where to put folds. I'm okay at drawing the folds and even shading the folds, but I can never decide where they are or what shape they should have in any logical way. At best right now I have a few common folds memorized

>>94496834
Ah yes that's kinda what I meant. I mean if you like how it looks it's fine but I personally would probably stay days and days manipulating the site so it looks better than the blank design site.

I'm starting my pages on tumblr and I find myself still wasting my days customizing it too anyway though.

I just tried to use a shortcut on my browser and managed to close and not save my canvas in the process

I'm not entirely sure how it happened but I lost a few sketches I liked and I'm rustled as fuck

I read a bunch of Go Nagai comics in the last few days and now all I can think about is ripoffs of his stuff. How do I filter out that and be original?

>>94497172
It happens. My big ol' beef fingers tend to cause random shit in every program I use. Gotta save, man. Let that rustling be what burns saving into your brain, and feel better that you just avoided a worse loss in the future as a result

>>94497294
Just rip off Go Nagai. I think we would all enjoy more of that.
That, or exercise your inspiration without resorting to ripoffing by putting work into making your own original thing that is derivative enough to make every fan eat it up

I looked at a lot of these. Some not so helpful, others very much so. https://www.pinterest.com/mhillman320/how-to-draw-fabriccreaseswrinkles/?lp=true
For where to put them, I asked where the fabric was being pulled from, then drew the line away from that point, and asked if it would be overlapping or rolling. Not very sophisticated, I'm sure there are better ways.

>>94498603
It's nowt to do with the computer (but yes, yes I do), it's just something you can do in an art program without realizing it. You don't wanna save until you're sure everything's fine

>>94500056
My only guess is to add a specific century or year next to your search. Also I'm not sure about this since it has been years since I read it, but I think Stevenson's Treasure Island has some old crew jobs dropped in the novel, but again I'm not sure.

The only porn I ever wrote was on my awkward teen days on roleplaying forums and boy I knew nothing about real life sex back then. I guess the more you know how it actually works the more awkward it gets, since nowadays I think about my characters having their cute lovemaking but I can't put it on paper, let alone draw it.

>>94500279
I've drawn a bunch, I don't post most of it though because it's either badly drawn, or of an unpopular subject matter.

I have, indeed, drawn porn and someone has commissioned something smutty of mine.

>>94500279
Learn to draw, it'll be cheaper.

And if you have this much ego over your writing work, I'm 100% sure it sucks. As an artist that has worked with many comic commissions, cocky writers are the worst.

>>94500301
Cute lovemakin' is hardly porn though. We call that a luuuv scene.

>>94500362
B-but it is still lewd! And at some point they do it way more rough. Tentacles may or may not be involved depending on the character in question.

Well yeah, that is what the male octopus's 7th tentacle is for. Called a heterocolydon or something like that. That's natural and beautiful. Then it turns into a tragic beauty when the parents just up and die, and if they don't manage to fuck, they just die at a preprogrammed age anyway unless you castrate them. That is the way of tentacles.

Sorry, I like animal trivia and felt this one was pertinent

>>94500674
>octopus tentacles

I'm more of the mainstream hentai tentacle variant with no risk of death by virginity sorry

>>94500931
Oh naturally. just pointing out that, given their inspiration, it's a lot less unnaturalistic than it might seem.

>>94500954
Well it was some interesting trivia at least. Although it sounded a bit weird on delivery.

I was thinking more of the tentacles as extra extremities for foreplay though, not in the reproduction sense.

>>94501057
That's a lot more fun anyway

>>94500153
I've drawn them naked for story/reference purposes but I've never drawn/thought about them in any sexual situations.
I don't quite like forcing myself to think about them like that either, honestly. It feels creepy to do something like that to my own character.

It's stretched for comedy. (The pants.)

As for the "ass," he's pulling away so that nothing would show. As I think most people would if someone tried to expose their dicks and coochies lol.

Either way he's got new swag on now so his stretchy pants are no more! Pic unrelated to the pants/Oliver.

I was initially going to use the Second Congo War to influence some worldbuilding but I feel that's a bit too tragic and recent

>>94505977
I mean, people use current events for stuff all the time. So long as you do it justice and express just how tragic it really was then you should be fine.

>>94505977
tragic? yeah. recent? not really. but what's important is that not that many people outside of the UK know about it, and the ones who do go overboard on feeling bad about it and generally overcompensate. By all means tell a story that reminds people how fucked up that shit is, but also takes into account the legit and complicated reasons why it happens.

>>94505503
Not giving us enough to go off here anon. Is it dark and edgy, is it wacky adventure stuff that nobody should take seriously? Dark and edgy-"colored death". Wacky adventures-"rainbow pew pew"

Better die before you do more useless stuff with your life you punks! She is a more classic loner in that she is always so angry she doesn't really want to hang up with anyone else.
>Second MC is Death who is kind of a sadist with the living because he gets a good laugh at their stupidity and how easy they are to manipulate. He actually has a better apreciation for life than Life herself and he thinks she is wasting her own life by being always angry, so that is why he tries to make her enjoy her job with different methods. He is more of a Stepford loner in that he is the guy who is always cracking jokes and nobody really hates, but he isn't the "best friend" of anybody and doesn't hang up with anyone else either.
>The story is mostly about gags of Life frustrated at her job or shenanigans with the other personifications (especially Death) who try to cheer her up with relatibe success.
>At some point after many mutual "motivational speeches", Life and Death get to be loners together because only they truly understand and like each other.

I'm sharing yesterday's page. After what an anon said, I've decided to try and do manual shading instead of painting greys on phoshop. Now it looks somewhat like UY, which is kinda cool; and with a little work it might end looking better than before, and saving time to boot if I get good enough. If people like this artstyle more, I might rework the previous pages to fit the new style.

Also please tell me the text is right, I've triple checked this shit already and made a second version for the site.

Boy that sure is a huge progress! So you plan on start publishing it when you have a huge batch done?

>>94505963
Male MC has gone through a lot of shit so he is a bit of a coward and a jerk on the surface but he actually cares a lot for his teammates and helps in small ways as much as he can.
Female MC 1 has her vanity up to eleven and is a straw feminist, but she genuinely cares for male MC because she sees him as a small brother who needs protection (even though he is the oldest of the team, being a manlet doesn't help I guess)
Female MC 2 is nervous and shy but she is the Heart of the team, not too naive but still wants to believe on a bright side to things.
The story has many huge conflicts on the background but at the end of the day it is really about the characters overcoming their flaws and becoming a real family, supporting each other when the enemy of the saga comes targeting any of them.

Hurrying the first arc too much because you're so eager to get something down. You'll wish you'd taken the time to expand it. This is secretly the main reason everyone wants to redo their original stuff. They say it's about the art, but really it's because it could use an expansion. What's sad is anime adaptations of manga tend to do the opposite and speed up the early stuff, which can be the best.
There are some definite other things to avoid, like getting settled in and only later finding out your site sucks, or not keeping track of stuff like continuity or maybe wishing later on you'd used a tag system to keep track of character appearances..

I think this works fine looking at how the scene plays and looks. Although just one word of advice, maybe you should place a bit more effort on the typesetting, because as it is hard to read what it says on the caption. Not saying you should get a font, just to make the writing cleaner too, more like what you used for the balloon.

>Main dude is a sleep troubled paranoid NEET

It's all about trying to solve a mystery behind people dying in their sleep after experiencing certain symptoms. He gets them too, so insomnia is pretty useful.
They all start going psychological horror crazy too so the fact that he's already pretty fucked up in the head plays into that.

Paint Tool SAI, but that doesn't have a text function, which makes it less than optimal for comics, unless you're entirely hand lettering.

how do you guys feel about coming up with maps/environment

I dont think I have it in me. Im probably just going to come up with cities/landmarks as I go

>>94529978
the only thing I enjoy drawing are girls, anything else is a chore.
I'm not wasting my imagination on backgrounds, copying real places from google images is enough for those.

where are the rape comics?

>>94511260
If it helps with your self image, I wish I could afford to commission you to draw a strip on the regular. I've already got someone to draw character sprites for my VN, otherwise I'd ask for that.

>>94531418
Coldfusion rapes the art of comics every damn day you can start there.

>>94529978
I want to eventually make a comic with a setting similar to Ghost in the Shell/Valerian/That capital planet in Star Wars and Foundation so I need to practice my skill on drawing futuristic and multilevel cities.

It is bothersome but sadly I'm not a mangaka who can rely on assistants to draw the backgrounds for me.

As for worldbuilding tho, it is all fun and games until I think about real life geography/geology

Describe your antagonist's motivations. What is their end goal?

>>94529978
The main use for a map is so you can remember what is adjacent to what, and you don't end up with situations like "hang on, they went from there to there, but they should have passed that other place, instead they went there afterwards"

certainly not, but I am having trouble following the story so far

I want to write a story set in an office, but I'm not sure what office workers do exactly. Basicly the main character starts at the bottom of the company, and wants to work his way up.

Watch The Office for some reference, I think it can help.

>>94535069
oh, what did you think was going on?

I was trying to be subtle. Basically dude is out hunting -> goes home to big spider house -> goes to speak with his dad -> discovers his dad being murdered -> assailant escapes, his dad asks for revenge

The following chapters are going to be a lot more wordy so hopefully that wont me as much of an issue

>>94535118
>I want to write a story set in an office
why?

>>94535199

Just seemed like a good setting for a boring main character before he becomes the hero of the story. Plus I'm not just going to have the characters hang out in the office all day, they will go to other places.

The antagonist wants to be able to protect her mother from the abuse of her stepfather. Have a steady income to maintain and feed her 3 younger brothers. And will fight to death in order to be able to live in better conditions than the abyss she is in at the moment.

>>94535334
Is not that they are spheres as much as that you drawed a boob then forgot where to add the "intersection" line and just added it where it doesn't belong at all. I know you don't want to nail things accurately because of your weird reasonings but that is beyond lazy

>making the boob 30% bigger than the other one.

You do realize that the top doesn't have to be completely filled, right?

>>94535472
That would only happen if she is wearing a tight bra, and judging by how the weight on her boobs plays, she isn't. The boobs as they look in there should be more free, how they look in there looks more as if they were squished. Also yeah boobs aren't the same size but the other one is still bigger than the other one.

>>94535542
>repeating "the other one" twice
Welp this is my brain in autistic boob rage

>>94535542
i imagine they'd be at least a big squished considering how huge they are

not saying they're perfect, just that the outline thing was blowing it way out of proportion

>>94535165
I love these elaborate and beautiful pictures, but you're allowed to intersperse with more simplistic Prequel-style gifs like you used to, just to get the action across.

>>94535596
I think the squished bit would happen lower instead of at the top, but then again this is Lucy who is lazy even on being lazy

>>94535472
Isn't that just the mirror of the existing line? How do you decide which way the boobs are facing?

Their motivations are to rip people apart.

They have no other motivations.

There is no use on arguing, is best to ignore.

>>94535962
good rapists rape with love and take responsibility, only because some rapists kill or break their victim and flee doesn't mean they are all the same.

I appreciate your creativity with her using his cum as fuel to expand further. Good line work too!

Has anyone else found an aspect of a show/comic/movie unsatisfying and tried rewriting it? Not in the form of fanfiction, but an original work. It feels pretty unoriginal and petty to want to "fix" something I didn't like, but hell it gets my motivation to write going.

>>94539114
I normally do it under the guise of fanfiction but treat it very seriously.
I mean, film makers and graphic adaptations of stuff do it all the time. Whether it's better is another matter up for debate.

Kind of. The webcomic I'm working on (really slowly because then I got distracted by the challenges who became an informal webcomic on their own) began because some friends were reading a comic with an always sad Death and a really happy Life who hated Death because "HOW DARE YOU KILL MY STUFF REEEEEEE" and they were all fangirling over it. I found that this Life-Death dynamic was way too common and it was not only tiresome but also didn't make much sense. I joked about Life probably being more angry at the living themselves with how many psycopaths and just bad people exist around and Death being a prankster because of all those "fun stupid ways to die" shows that exist, and so it began.

i'm going to make a comic with 100% effort but try my hardest to not get noticed and constantly shit talk it. i want to see where my experiment goes in 6 months and try and have the least amount of views a webcomic could ever have.

>>94539794
You could do that by just posting it with no index/tag attached to it.
Or you can do the ian jq thing and people will see through your tongue in cheek ruse and keep reading your schlock

>>94539794
>have the least amount of views a webcomic could ever have.
ask dewd/coldfusion for advice

>>94539794
This is a master of ruses level for a ruse

>>94539794
Not being noticed is pretty easy; you literally don't have to do anything. Simply post it somewhere, ideally your own site and not a webcomic host with a built in social network, and just don't talk about it. Ta da, no views whatsoever.

Talking it up or down is going to get people to click on it through sheer curiosity. Some people might start following it and talking about it, and then your views will start climbing as other people start to discover it.


Here's a fun game for everyone to play: make a tumblr and post art to it, but don't post fan art, or add any tags or tell anyone it exists. Don't interact with anyone who discovers it. See how slowly you can gain likes, reblogs or followers.

thats what I was doing awhile ago because I wanted another place I could save my pics but wasnt really interested in socializing

I stopped though because I felt like it was pointless as I barely draw any "finished" pics. Maybe I should do it again..

Use Google Drive or DeviantArt

inb4 >deviantart but DA has this "sta.sh" thing where you can upload your writtings or your drawings without having to publish them, only you and people with a link to the file can get them. I stopped using DA years ago but still use the sta.sh for some stuff like gifs.
