These are some sketches I did to start getting a feel for the characters. I've been tumbling the idea in my head for a long time, and these characters have been redrawn over and over again. They're supposed to be mages, but I decided to go simple rather than extravagant. These are likely their final forms.

The setting is akin to our own Cold War era, except magic exists and is commonplace in this world. The story focuses around a conflict in the so-called "homeland" of the mages. Forces of light and dark are rising, setting the stage for a great conflict. These two are caught in the middle.

No, it's not a typical high school anime setting.

My drawing style was pretty weeb from the start, yet I hadn't watched any animu or read any mangoes; I just ended up at a style that got the point through with minimal effort.

I'll consider it a decent start to get rolling, just remember to build yourself from there.

As long as you set the scene somewhere, you can often get away without backgrounds, particularly if the focus of the panel is on someone's expression, or dialogue. Simple colours, shapes and/or textures can also emphasise someone's emotional or psychological state.
If you have a broadly cartoony style, people are more likely to forgive a lack of backgrounds.

>>82913657
You can probably go down to about 8pt lettering, depending on the font.
While standard dialogue should be a consistent size, it's fine to make the font larger or smaller if someone's yelling or muttering under their breath.

You're probably right, but social media never really appealed to me and I'm not really at a stage where I feel like I can afford to spend that kind of time on promotion. I'm having a hard enough time staying on schedule without even more things I can use to justify procrastinating.

I did have an idea for a hot springs strip, but it's not very developed.

Basically

panel 1
>Valkyrie X (Skalmöld?) shows some of the others the location of a secluded hot spring she knows about and everyone's super hype about it

panel 2
>Everyone sings the praises of hot springs

panel 3
>Valkyrie Y mentions off-hand that hot springs appearing in Asgard is a sign of the increasing power of the fire giants and the approach of the end times

panel 4
>awkward silence. Maybe valkyrie Y is oblivious towards the sudden change in mood.

yeah that isnt much of a gag. if anything you'd split it up.. the mention of the fire giants.. then the jolly offhand mention of ragnarok, which results in a little reaction-panel. which still isnt much of a gag. maybe she has a cutesy crayon drawing (or whatever they had at the time. ochre?) thought balloon of fire giants causing hilarious destruction

I think they had a variety of paints - maybe having her pull out an intricately carved and painted rune stone, or tapestry, would be a good alternative. The absurdity of somebody just having that on hand might enhance the joke.

If you're going for a realistically proportioned human, you'll want your lower legs to be about the same length as the upper legs. Right now they're way too short. Arms are a little too short, too - when the arms are hanging down the sides, the wrists should be just about the same height as the crotch.

Not a terrible start though.

you could also give her matching shoes if you wanted to save on palette at the slight cost of believability

Second one is best. Having a 50-50 red-green split is generally a worse idea that having one color clearly dominate.
Maybe a little more green wouldn't hurt. Like, the manchets or the collar.

>>82932815
that's pretty distorted though. forearms too long, shins too short. pelvis slightly too long but inconsistent by the angles.

None. It's all uneffay as fuck. Those shoe colors too. If I really have to pick, it'd be the first one. It feels like Christmas, but it's more eyecatching than the rest because the others are playing it more safe with the colors.

your art is taxing to follow. Composition doesn't facilitate flow, making it jarring most transitions. I find myself having to stop and analyze each panel to see what's going on instead of being able to picture scenes unfolding by themselves. You went for a sort of monotone color scheme, but the way you color doesn't bring out what you want to convey (ie: 3rd row middle, it's very unclear what the man with the backpack is doing at first glance, and the backpack blends into his figure).

>>82939995
Yes. What you will write otherwise will either be derivative or bland. How could you write about heartache if you've never known heartache? It would be like describing chocolate having never tasted it. You could write a heartache similar to one you've seen in a movie, but it would be like writing about chocolate, saying "it looked like poop and tasted brown."

Or you could prove them all wrong and write about something you've never experienced and take us there. That could be interesting too. Like what a psychopath thinks normal is, except reversed.

meanwhile his designs are fun to reinterpret. they have really clear features that it's easy to adapt, while at the same time they're done so shoddily that you feel compelled to fix them. like, i like annabeth's cow/lion/whatever tail. i love it. i want to draw it so the lines of the tail are parallel instead of one skinny bit then one fat bit.

Yeah, I know, these first pages are pretty messy, we published them only recently, but the pages themselves are kinda old... but I assure you it gets better. I don't know if the flow of the panels are that good still, but the drawings, composition, and the way I use the colors improve for sure.
I am so glad we took our time to release our stuff, though, at first we were going to have all black and white pages. Just look at pic related.

>>82939354
>>82940126

Glad some people liked it!

The most criticism we received was about the broken english, so an anon from /tg/ volunteered to proofread the scripts. He started to work on page 12 I think, we are still going to update the previous pages.

You can also navigate the pages with the arrows on the keyboard, but anyway I think the best way to get updates is by following the rss feed or liking our facebook page:

http://abnor.com.br/feed/?lang=en

I was alone in the fight to have the home page be the first page instead of the last one. Was it too much of a bad idea?

Thank you for the feedback anons!

I believe that Dewd and Bones are actually good artists. They're just trolling by drawing shitty things to rape our eyes with. I believe that animu shota is done by Dewd. So it's like those tropes in cartoons where a veteran hides his final form by appearing weak for a very important purpose except those two chose to appear like manchildren and they do it for free.

yeah because if i'm not mistaken, cherufes are from your neck of the woods. i mean as an american everything south of the border is one part of the world, an entire continent plus mexico. they're lava monsters
okay so you already have someone proofreading? no prob then.

see what you should do is, make the homepage the last page, but when you give out the link for promotion or publicity, give it as the first page. alternatively you can have a splash page with a 'first time reader? go here' and 'most recent page, go here' link. but that means one extra step before checking the comic, and most people want INSTANT gratification. i'm literally checking 100 other comics every day, so I don't want yours to just go on my 'eh, nevermind' list.

to be fair i'm pretty sure tolkien has gone on nature hikes. people used to do that shit before they had tolkien books to read instead.

i say, if you can't do something for real, do it in your head. i used to be able to go on adventures in my head. i miss them. and they really helped with writing and imagination.
