This one was created first right?
>>84127004
It has a better OP regardless so it's the one I will use.
>>84127004
I'm not sure. I saw the other one was dead guess I should've waited a bit.

I'm not fucking looking for how to start a website you stupid fucking faggot.
I'm looking for MAKING.
MONEY.
VIA.
DISPLAYING.
ADVERTISEMENTS.
I knew you were just acting like a retard but this level of commitment is next-level. Especially when you try to deflect the "pretending to be retarded" thing onto other people.
[Obligatory rant post about Blutrinity]
Reposting for that pathetic dumbshit in the last thread who can't take the time to properly read the OP to know where it has content about getting advertisers for your site.
>>84127071
So you aren't pretending to be retarded, then.
You guys are a silly bunch, you know that.
Aw fuck, this is the last fucking time I'm making a new thread. This is what I get for not being lazy. Can't look stupid if you don't try in the first place, I should have remebered.
>>84126932
>tfw you want to drop your current comic to start something new but you end up spending all your time on development and concepts
>>84127273
You'd be right at home in the /coc/ threads.
Can somebody post something from their webcomic please, the start of this thread makes me want to drown myself in the sink.
>>84127201
At least we both look stupid so you're not alone. Both threads are off to a great start to.
Such is life.

>>84127371
Ur a mistake lmao
>>84127388
They are a lot of fun.
>>84127394
That cover was really amazing I saw the one where it seemed mostly inked but didn't get a chance to say anything.
>>84127311
Have a very cruddy up close detail.
>>84127394
You should change your trip to The Talent since you're one of the very few regulars in these threads who can actually draw well. I disn't get to say it in the last thread but it's nice to have someone who will actually losten to suggestions and improve, that ladder and the owl's wing in your last WIP really looked a lot better in the end.
I'm really getting a rango vibe from your comic. Looking forward to see more lizards and other more ragged characters (if that's where you're going anyway)
>>84127343
Not to be nitpicky but I think that sidekick demon looked a lot better when you had that lumpy design for its limbs instead of making it look like bones.
Other than that, great page.
>>84127543
>one of the very few regulars in these threads who can actually draw well
Name all of the other ones.
>>84127536
What program is that?and where can I steal it
I like to draw traditionally but recently got access to a scaner so I want to experiment with digital adjustments a little.
>>84127728
It's photoshop. Someone gave me this so I couldn't tell ya. I used to use Fira Alpaca though.
>>84127639
The mimi guy
That one guy who draws the girl character with giant fists and star thingies in her hair
The guy with the dead cat gag comic
Some other guys who stuck around during the hiveworks submission phase but I guess you can't call them regulars...

Hey thanks and it is a good point I also went back to more spindly limbs I think it fits him better. What do you think?
Posting my crappy thumbnails for my latest concept about a prince who can control animals with his mind and goes on adventures.
I used to do only scripts (both full-sripts and plot-scripts) for my comics but I decided to do thumbnails for the first four chapters of this project (about 70 pages) just as a visual reminder to keep the idea fresh.
Sometimes I'm baffled that I've been doing comics for years always in search foran artist to collaborate with
Another one fo the pile, haha.
remade page 3 cause I didn't like how I set up the end of this episode.
>>84127117
>m-maybe if I keep saying he's only pretending to be retarded nobody will know that I'm the one pretending
>>84128246
Awesome! You need to do a fully-fledged chapter if you're not allready working on one.
If you're doing a webcomic that thic demon girl mc will get you a lot of views, trust me.
Oh, you should read Jigokuren (love in the hell) as research if you haven't allready. It's not for everyone but personally I like to read some classics depending on the niche / genre I'm currently writing in.
>>84128463
Are you going to apologize for being wrong and also a belligerent asshole, or are you just going to continue being a retard?

I haven't really started yet I literally just sort of came up with these guys a few days ago so I'm still taking baby steps. But I'm definitely going to do something! I'm really attached to them already.
I just started checking it out it's a little strange reading from left to right but I love it. The iPod loin cloth was just fantastic. And I'm super into the landscapes I didn't even think of lava pools. Thanks for the recommendation for sure!

>>84127543
thank you. I'm really trying to give it my all and pushing myself to do better. (I've even lost sleep because of it).
>I'm really getting a rango vibe from your comic.
Cool! I really liked that movie, and took a bit of inspiration from its setting.
>Looking forward to see more lizards and other more ragged characters (if that's where you're going anyway)
Yes, this next chapter will be a bit more focused on Maude (the possum). Her dress is ragged because it actually gets torn up a bit in the comicduring a chase scene
Here's the full cover, (sized down and cropped).
I took out the mine cart in the back because I felt there was too much going on up in the top area, and I was gonna add the title up there anyway, so there's no real point. What do you guys think?
I'm aware you can see a bit of the pencils lines still in some areas, so I'll do a thorough cleanup before I slap on some colors.
>>84127798
they draw a girly comic with a girly character
MUST BE A GIRL ARTIST!
lol, no, welcome to the world of traps kid, i used to think scrible batch was a grill cuz chaos in the tropics looks girly as fuck and was sure a girl drew it, but i was wrong lol

Hello anons.
/tg/ visiting here and seeking guidance.
I have a story, characters, and a small audience for a prospective web comic. I also have the better part of dozen stories written.
I am interested in talking to anyone with knowledge of the web comic world on feasibility for this project and especially artists, seeing as I can't draw.
Halp.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Britbongsteros
I've been posting and asking questions on these threads for the past few weeks and finally finished my second chapter! Thanks to these threads I'm able to get great input back to help improve.
baabaamouton.tumblr.com
I'm sorry if its a shameless plug but these threads are the only place I know where i can get legit criticism from total strangers. Any and all feed back would be greatly appreciated!
>>84131650
>halp
With what in particular?
>>84131745
This is fantastic. You have a nice sense of style, and i really dig your colors.
>>84131745
You had me at her talking to the worm. I really like your style and the color pallet is easy on the eyes. I just started into chapter two and I love the cover.
I don't think I've ever loved a page that i've made more than this one, I'm going to fix his right hand and that will be it.
>>84132028
Now I know I'm in the right place
1. I'm interested to talking to people who have experience in webcomic publishing and in particular startup. Know of anyone?
2. If anyone wants to read the link I'm interested in hearing about viability.
3. I'd be very interested in hearing about art styles you might recommend and in particular who might be good to talk to about this sort of thing.
4. I might be interested in hearing from artists generally if there's interest.
I have absolutely no idea what I am doing so any pointers are enormously appreciated, all I know is I have a story I want to share.
>>84132092
>>84132216
Thank you both for the complements, they mean a lot to me! I find one of the things that drives me to complete a chapter is getting to make the chapter covers! I like to read up about a lot of occult and different religions in my spare time and work in into my art. I was hoping for it not to come off too 'edgy' in a sense, so I'm glad you like it!
>>84132321
im not that anon but if you are looking for an artist that will draw all your stuff it is going to be something very difficult unless you have money and a good way to stay in contact
i think it would be way easier for you to just learn how to draw and read all the links we have in the Scrub Authors goodie bag so you can make your comic just the way you want
>>84132750
That's really cool working stuff like that into your art. I didn't find it edgy at all just neat and pretty damn adorable.
Also I doodled up some landscape sort of things. I'm aiming for a fleshy stone mix. I was kind of thinking of the later parts of DOOM 3 once the facility starts getting all the strange growths.
>>84133074
>>84128246
These are really nice. You're making me wannadraw your demon chick, holy crap she's a qt
>>84132839
I'm interested in talking to artists with a view to paying one. I'm more than happy to do so or to come to an arrangement where profits if any are split, I just want to sound this out.
>>84133256
Additionally you do not want to see me draw.
just finished episode 2
would love feed back from it. (besides the terrible art)

>>84133256
>profits
I don't think you'll make any. Many webcomics just don't make profit at all or struggle to make one, and while you got a setting, it's as niche as it gets. I'm not an expert, but I assume you could turn it into a webcomic, seeing you got the world and characters AND stories figured out (though you're link is impressive but lack details all around). Just don't expect to collect money from it. As for anything art, I'm kinda in the same position as you so I cant really help.
>>84133344
Suspensful. The art isnt as bad as you say it is. You are clearly interpreting ideas and action, along with some interesting panel shots. Keep it up!
>>84133344
I see for most of your action panels they are just white, have you ever thought about using a solid color thats exciting or fitting the mood? I think white is acceptable in certain situations but if over used it may make it look 'unfinished' if you catch my drift.
>>84133074
Im really diggin the right landscape you have there, Im really excited to see a colored version of those now!
Greetings for a Art Noob who wants to Git Gud.
Weekly (partial) Performance review.
You others better be trying to Git Gud too..
What do you guys this off this guy.
Story- It's a set for practice pages for an up and coming comic. Guys name is Weapon Halberd, A sort of teacher and Gaurdian of the old arts of Sound Body. He fights a main character in his youth.
Also sorry he has no left arm, I'm getting tired i'll post the concept for the pages later. This is just a taste.
>>84133575
Thanks alot
>>84133667
I will defiantly try that in the future.
>>84133739
>What do you guys this off this guy.
I beg your pardon?
>armor boner
>>84133739
>dat bulge
Looking good overall, but I feel like there's some anatomical things that are off. Not sure what though. And draw that arm.
>>84133344
It's not that bad with the art. Some panels are way worse than others though. Also, nothing happens ? Except at the end, otherwise it's people talking and running away for a few panels.
>>84133888
Holy shit dat armor boner I cant unsee that...
What my dumbass meant to say was what do you think?
I'm tired as shit dude...
>>84133916
Ok so anatomy is off, thats bad...
To be honest at the time I made him on spot just to get a feel of attention on the page. Rest of pages are later
>>84133199
Thank you andJust as long as you don't mind me drawing Juniper.
Also I loved the part with her getting excited about the sheep. I work on a small farm and the sheep are just like big fluffy dogs. The way you do the word bubbles to is nice as well changing them up for different dialogue.
>>84133667
Thanks! I really have to get into color I wanna keep it as traditional as possible but haven't invested into to many supplies.
>>84133739
Really like this dude. The scale armor on the upper arm is awesome and in general it's a nice looking set. The big collar looks for sturdy neck protection.
>>84134013
Actually, I'm tired too and the more I look at it the less I see the "off" part. Please don't feel bad. Also the captcha can go fuck itself.
>>84129331
I see youre about to end your pregnant pause
Went out and got myself a scanner; the Visioneer Roadwarrior, for $30. It scans in poor quality, but it's really easy to use, and it's fast. I think as long as I clean and ink it before scanning it should be okay. Before I was just taking pictures with my phone, and it was kind of a hassle.
Overall, I don't recommend it if your comic is big on small details.
Also just gonna casually dump some character designs (top).
>>84132309
Not gonna lie, when I see to be continued in anything comic, art, cartoon and etc.
That song from Jojo: Roundabout plays in my head.
Also do you guys try mixing stuff up in your comics like instead of... to be continued why not "in the next chapter" or "see ya later kid".
Also the empty space in back really doesn't set the mood for reaching out for something, I usually use the background as extra leverage to convey an feeling like an empty, dark room for loneliness or if you want helpless to reach out feeling put em in a long narrow hallway...
Just my opinion
>>84134426
Right on bruh. Hope you post something soon.
Also, saved.
I'll post something i got saved up in my "cool art" folder as thanks.
>>84134302
pfffttt
>>84134426
the girls are cute, the dude seems to have subtle proportion issues, and the close-up head... i feel like the far cheek should be reduced more because of the head being turned, or else the facial features being moved further over. like, they're centered despite the head being turned, yknow?
>>84134538
Thanks for the reply! Your attached pic makes for great inspo too.
>>84134578
Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep it note for my future drawings. I start with the eyes and then draw in the jaw/face shape, do you think I should change the order?
>>84134799
professionals would say always get the basic head structure in first, and let it dictate the placement of the features, but I say as long as you keep everything consistent it doesn't matter. It's all a matter of which one you're more reluctant to erase and redo to match the other.. and in that regard i'm with you, keep the eyes i worked so hard on, redo the jaw and cheek.
Hey talked in thread yesterday about development for my webcomic
I've resolved to have the guns and melee weapons be infused with magic or technology to face the people with powers but now I'm trying to figure out how the powers should actually work as well as how to balance them with the exception of certain characters
The webcomic takes place in an alternate universe starting on a world in a country following a group that could be either mercenaries or some sort of guild
>>84135212
not to be a dick but this is even more apparent now than it was then: what the heck are you concerning yourself with? did someone give you an assignment or a challenge something, where you have to make a comic under the vague constraints of 'must have ballistic weapons, melee weapons, and magic powers' ? because for some reason those seem to be your concern, and figuring out how they'll work together, and it sounds as if you have nothing else. no idea of what they would be, or any indication of why you want those in your comic.. and that is literally all there is to your comic at the moment. a need to include three elements of combat.
you're like, putting the cart ahead of the horse when you don't even own a horse or a cart yet but are instead asking yourself what kind of reins you'll use
>>84135212
Well you should figure out what the story is that you want to tell, and then think about how the magic weapons will help you tell your story. If the magic weapons aren't involved in the story, then they're not important and you can ignore them.
You're not designing a video game, you're telling a story.
>>84135829
yeah I mean I've been known to construct stories around cool shit I want to see, but I at least work out the story.. who's using this shit to fight what, for what reason. Then the action scenes can be the backdrop and you can work in the progression of whatever. like Uncharted and shit.
>that's so webcomic creator who spends too much time imagining stories instead of drawing them
Practicing with the contrast and brightness the scanner provides.
Here's another pic of Giri. Not really trying to make sense of her poses. Though I'm not happy how the legs turned out.
Still, can't wait till I get that light table, gonna wait till next paycheck.
just made this last night in like 30 minutes.
I think it's pretty funny, but does it have any merit? or is the whole "shitty ms paint" genre too saturated
>>84136217
what else u got? i like it
>>84136258
That's the only one I've made, actually. I've got some more ideas, though. Probably gonna work on some tonight.Thank you!
>>84136209
Why does it always do this??? I rotate the image before I post them, look alright then boom. Giant middle finger.
Why?
>>84135820
>>84135829
>>84136032
Alright actual advice
Ok well the story is about this group who each have history with the main character forming this team that will expand as the series progresses but basically they just fight criminals and evil organizations building up more into facing enemies that want them dead as the main villain directly caused this event that was meant to kill the main character for this reason that would be explained later but the main character as well as certain others have specific powers varying in ability
I would show my original webcomics that this started with but they suck I showed them here before and everything said about how shit they were was true I still need to develop this more get some people to work with as well as get better at drawing to see how an update schedule could work also I did these webcomics on tumblr because it seemed people would look at them there but it's fucking tumblr so that was another main reason for needing to develop this series but I do post weekly sketches to my art blog still on tumblr until I figure out better constructive and time efficient ways to draw for the internet

>>84136209
cute girl. My only critique is that maybe the way the hair cuts off on the back makes it look like she has a really small head
>>84136339
Not that anon but I strongly prefer the tactile experience of traditional media. I've worked digitally for years but it just doesn't feel the same - traditional has more control. The downside is you have one shot (but at worse, you just redraw the panel via lightbox.)
>>84136339
Hey sonny, I was told it would help create a clean only pencil comic.
>>84136353
I see what you mean. Thanks!
>>84127789
>not naming me
confirmed for shit taste
>>84136217
i'm chuckling pretty hard. i don't even care about the logic of the store continuing to function, with everyone remaining in line, during and after a robbery.. it's just funny as fuck and reminds me of people i've seen doing the equivalent of playing a slot machine after it just paid out to someone else and is out of money.
>>84136323
it's 4chin. it strips away part of the data in your jpg (not the image part, but the orientation part) because people were known to hide contraband in that data.
i remember i used to take pictures of drawings with my digital camera and it would embed shit in that file, and even later when i computercolored the fuck out of it, it would still have that data. then it'd show up on deviantart and everyone would be like 'whaaat why does it say camera information on this 2d digital drawing'
>>84136455
who are you?
>>84136328
okay so i know not everyone posts the same as they write, but i really hope in the comic itself you use punctuation.
in any case i have no idea what your comic is about now but it sounds like you sure do! so have fun
>>84136481
Well, glad to know it wasn't my retardation. Thanks anon.
>>84136490
To describe the webcomic i'd say it would be this mixture of Hunter X Hunter, One Piece, and Game of thrones
>>84136458
Thanks, man, I'm glad you like it
>>84136589
delete everything
>>84136699
I know they are all different series but that's actually the best way I can describe it
>>84136482
a coward
>>84136742
How about you explain what it's actually about instead of vaguely comparing it to shit you like.
>>84137002
I don't even watch One piece and Hunter X Hunter but the concepts as well as ideas from them are ideal for how I want to develop the webcomic
>>84136258
>>84136217
I just made a second one. I then realized that I basically drew an exact same frame in this one as i had in my first. plus they both have guns/crime. I'll try to be a little more varied in the future.
>>84137037
Imagine no one knows what those things are.>>84137037
>>84131650
It's pretty much hopeless anon.
>>84128378 here, unless you have lots and lots of luck, break into the real non-web comic industry or are willing to pay money it's impossible to find an artist for your comic online.
You have a much better chance if you're in school (highschool or college) and put up ads shamelessly begging for an artist to help you out.
Sorry for the shoddy picture, I would have preferred to scan it at home and polish the roughness, but the scanner is not working properly, and I'm at work atm. In any case, feel free to destroy this. I fucked up in places I should know better not to.
I will probably make this whole page again, but If I can save any of the panels, I would like suggestions.
>>84137349
Well I like the idea of world building the variety of powers an actual way for the powers to be fair by having their own abilities but a system where like it drains their power or stamina or some shit but also having unexpected moments as well as deaths centering on this one group but also building up the story so parts that happen later get the reader excited to read them when the story gets there also building on lore over time and getting to know each character and how they interact with each situation as well as each other
>>84136217
>>84137318
Well you're really funny and for someone with bad art a gag comic is pretty much the best option. Good luck.
>>84137585
whoa thanks, man. I really appreciate it. I'll keep at it
I wanted to ask again, did I use 'indignation' correctly here?
>>84131745
I love the expressions with the art style and the talking to the worms bit was pretty funny
I guess the only gripe I have is that pacing could have been a little better in chapter 1. It felt kinda rushed at some points, the scenes involving meeting Jacob's family and Jacob talking about Egon the wizard especially.
And I guess this is more personal preference than anything but I kinda hate the font you choose for word bubbles.
>>84126916
hmmmm.......
>>84138863
warm up version
>>84138867
work on your art a little i think
/loomis/ is a meme for a reason
>>84128378
Thumbnails for pages 9 to 16. If I keep doing 8 a day I'll have the first 3-4 chapters by the end of next week.
What do you think about the concept, would you read this comic if it had actual art?
I have planned it out like this:
Chapters 1-2: introducing the prince and his powers while doing worldbuilding but leaving things intentionally ambigous and confusing (might turn off readers but fuck it)
Chapters 3-6: flashback of the prince as a kid, explaining how his powers came to be and adding some information on what this world looks like
Chapters 6-10: end of flashback, intoduce a bunch of characters related to the prince and transition the story into a longer arc.
I have a lot of set-pieces and storylines in my head I might add at some point but that's long from now.

You're either going to have to be good friends with an artist, or pay them, or approach them when they're vulnerable and exploit their crippling low self-esteem in order to get them to draw your comic.
>>84139223
Honest-to-god, I'd rather be Bones or Dobson right now. Shit, but blissfully ignorant and resilient.
Right now I know that I'm objectively technically good but have so much anxiety about stylization and consistency that I've spent the past month just fucking around doing doodles and character designs instead of just starting.
>>84139324
If I was Dobson, I could work myself out of that shit hole he's put himself in. But Bones? That'd be getting worse for me. And for what? Nobody cares about him and most ignore and/or filter him.
Dobson has multiple comics to his name, I don't even have a story.
>>84136209
That looks reallyneat anon. She looks real cute.
>>84139324
>>84139453
Dobson really isn't even that particularly bad of an artist.
His main problem is his awful, sour, shitty attitude, and his inability to take criticism as anything other than a personal attack.
>>84136384
Good on ya mate. Traditional always feel more rewarding honestly.
>>84138879
im better than loomis: >>84135136
if he was still alive he would be asking me for advice tbqh famz
loomis could only draw in one generic basic anatomy structured way
i can draw in a million different way and a lot of them you people havent even seen yet
just take my word for it when i can say with confidence beyond confidence that im easily the best and most skilled non professional artist in this thread lol
>>84139223
>>84130987
>>84130998
sure are a lot of jealous but hurts in this thread today
>>84139983
i can draw in a million different ways*
>>84137468
Its pretty neat actually. I like the underboob for the sake of having underboob. Keep it up anon
>>84138879
don't reply to bones, bones.

in·dig·na·tion
ˌindiɡˈnāSH(ə)n/
noun
noun: indignation
anger or annoyance provoked by what is perceived as unfair treatment.
Seems correct to me but it depends on what your intentions are.
>>84136209
Arms still look crazy short.
>>84137914
"Indignities" would probably be closer to correct here.
>>84139596
Your figures would read more clearly if there was more contrast between them and the background. Consider nudging the snow a little lower so we can at least get their silhouettes?
Otherwise, this is pretty neat.
>>84140521
Good point, now that I look at it they're invisible in the thumbnail.
>>84139983
Loomis could draw in a way you can't.
Good.
>I'm the most confident amateur in this thread
I don't think anybody's going to disagree with that.
>>84137037
When I say "story" do you understand what I mean? A plot? Characters doing a thing?
>>84142243
To add, Loomis was proficient in sveral different media and styles. Compare his stuff in "Fun With a Pencil" and "Creative Illustration", or his commercial pieces - some of it is indistinguishable from modern day digital artists like Craig Mullins.
>>84138478
Thank for for the criticism! Honestly I hate the font too… I have shitty hand writing and in no way in hell could write the text down. I tried other fonts but nothing worked out well. Maybe I will go font hunting today.
And as for pacing, yeah I know its pretty rushed. Thats something i struggle with when I make my storyboards. I have chapter 3 and 4 storyboarded now and Its been getting a bit better every time.
>>84142391
Yes, Loomis ranges from cartoony to almost photorealistic. If there's a common thread through his styles, it's the women and men have fashions hairstyles etc from the early 60s. Given he found work as an advertising illustrator, and was training people to work in advertising illustration, that's perfectly legit.
Now Bones on the other hand can't draw simple lines, anatomy, perspective or proportions, and can't even recognize when it's wrong. It's like his faces are traced off of bad anime from dA, with a little bit of Sloth from Goonies thrown in.
>tfw you want to draw well but you're too lazy to put in effort so you hope that you'll gradually improve as you keep drawing comics
>>84127536
Nice gothic/modern apartment.
Her shirt reminds me of Yume Nikki. Now i'm gonna go listen to the 24 effects album. Thank you!
>>84129331
What do you mean "buffer"?
>>84142994
In webcomics, your buffer is the pages you have ready but haven't released yet. This makes it easier to deal with unexpected delays.
>>84142866
Hi Dewd.
>>84142866
Put that effort in. You won't "gradually" improve unless you put the effort.
>>84143282
Fuck effort, its just webcomics art..who cares?
>>84143334
>who cares?
The feels anon posting does.
follow up to yesterday, working on the first page of episode 3.
>>84143455
loomis
>>84143455
>>84143455
You've got some interesting actions and gestures down. I would recommend working on your character's form a bit more. That arm is looking a little wonky in the first panel. So far, not bad. Keep going anon.
>>84137318
the concepts here are pretty great, man. when you get a little better at art i could see this being another bad adjectives.
>>84143225
Ah okay. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm thinking of penciling a bunch of pages beforehand while I work on a side project for premier pulp since that short is only going to be about 10 pages long, and my comic is starting to shape up to be at least 30+.
I laid down some roughs last night, but I may add a splash page before this so I can really cement the setting these characters are in.
>>84137468
>then arachne shows up
eeee awesomesizzle. also you're good at sasha's wolf legs mode.
some of the spider legs are missing in the below panel but they DO fold in and hide (that's how jyourougumo roll) so that's not automatically a mistake. also yay clothing damage!
I wouldn't toss any of this out, the only thing is maybe arachne's head in the first panel seems a bit unengaged. you could give her a more sinister or excited expression and maybe even move the head down a bit, and/or do something different with her arm, without having to redraw the whole thing.
>>84140017
it's (amazing) fanart of my character, and I shamelessly stole that shirt from Ink Dolls, so really neither of us deserves the credit for the sweet, sweet underboob
>>84137914
like the others said, indignation isn't something you suffer, it's something you feel as the result of suffering. indignities is what you want
Finished this page!
Also, there's probably going to be a little hiatus after chapter 17. probably a week to get my buffer up.
>>84143830
their faces are fucking horrifying.
>>84143855
They look like those pamphlets you get when you go to a nurse's office in school

>>84143896
that, and wiki how drawings
>>84138863
>>84138867
certainly interesting takes! i see 'sketch' in the filename, are they finished such that I should go ahead and add 'em to the fanart page?
>>84143855
he has an.. interesting way of doing faces, yeah. but I still dig it.
>>84143896
which is pretty funny given the dreamily hedonistic content of his comics.

Dohohoho

Alright, thanks guys, I knew something was off, but I didn't know the right suffix
I guess the page is done now, what does everyone think?

Why dont you post a link frogbuddy?
>>84146414
thanks a lot
works fine in my wordpress + comic easel installatjon
>>84142243
>>84140071
>>84143921
yeah there done
DONE. I'll be including 2 extra panels in the comments this time as well though. The work never ends.
>>84147920
What did she say? WHAT DID SHE SAY!?excellent color work! I'm jelly you have time to color your comics.
>>84148102
He ate the cake I made for the ghosts.
Also I am world's worst employee so I color at work.
Bump. I assume everyone is busy working on your comics, eh?
>>84148968
I already did all my webcomic work for the day.
>>84149058
Good. I can't wait for tomorrow's update.and new character
>>84148968
Yep. Working on part 2 of tomorrow's update.
>>84149258
Cute. CUTE.
>>84139983
new sketch of emer, he is wearing the same tux from the last page i did: >>84149560
>>84146826
Looks pretty good, I think.
Although, her reflection in panel 1 seems almost impossible, since her back is to the window, it should be reflecting her back, not a 3/4 view.
>>84149095
I am not who you think I am.
I haven't posted actual pages here in a while, and since this is the last one I'll be able to post here in a while, I might as well fish for some attention with it or something.
>tfw your readership goes so low you start getting negative views
>>84149961
This shit is just getting low-effort and nonsensical.
>>84150123
Welcome to 4chan, I see you've met memes.
>>84149925
You're sharing a page but not a title/link to your comic?
Open to critique and tips. Made the stupid mistake last thread of posting the link and nothing more. Oh, and here's the cover.
https://tapastic.com/series/FrICTION
>>84150215
Just imagine how bad it would be if you posted your comics!
>>84149778
Well then...it is a good thing i posted as anonymous, otherwise i'd be pretty darn embarrassed right about now...
>>84150215
Put that time and effort into your comic.
>>84150284
There's none, I need to finish the comic first or at least be close to finishing it.
>>84149961
You know, I got the analytics -21 error for a few minutes (lack of enough data to generate report)
>>84150239
i miss when memes were good and they existed to entertain, not annoy
>>84150318
The little anthros are cute!
Someone motivate me to work. I just got up from a nap and colored this real quick. (and then realized that I didnt save or shade it.) after the nap I really don't feel like working.
>>84150215
>>84149961
I post literal garbage everyday, I try not to complain about my art, since I made a comic to attempt to get better. post your comic for feedback or get the fuck out.
>>84150368
>this
>>84150460
This isn't inherently bad, but your shot composition is all weird. It feels like it's trying to be informative and keep all relevant parts in the frame, but in doing so the actual conveyance is bad. It took me a while to figure out who was where and what they were doing.
>>84150433
Thanks!
>>84150215
>>84149961
>tfw your comic and posts are both amazing and loved by everyone
>>84150581
I'm thinking of remaking it. I've been having a lot of trouble with this scene, them being in a tight stairway is a huge pain. I really want to find a way to not have to draw this scene.
>>84150606
shut up Bones

I may have given people the wrong idea with the first panel of the intermission
>>84150905
oh man, lots and lots of maes!!!
>>84150905
Seeing that you're still doing Bug Quest consistently after all this time gives me happiness. I remember advising you on how to make gifs back when you were having dudes climbing towers and stuff. Seeing that you've just not lost momentum is just heartening in a weird way.
>>84150905
Yay! You're back!
Reminder to report feelposters.
>>84150905
Finally you're back!
>>84151151
Shut up. Dewdposters are so much worse.
>>84151243

wtf. Is everybody coming back? Who are we missing?

>>84151243

Getting a "splash mountain" feel in this panel, if anyone understands what I'm saying...

It's too early for me to say I have a legitimate story, but would anyone here critique me on what I have so far?
>>84151795

>>84152312
yeah he hasnt update din some time nor shown up here
... just looked it up. i'm really surprised that IS a guy.. somehow it felt like a girl. just goes to show, you can't tell
>>84152337
I thought it was a girl as well.
>>84152297
Miscellany Merchant.
Do we know why these guys left? Have we tried contacting any of them? Asking if they could come back?
>>84152389
is she still having problems with her wrist?
how old are my fellow comrades? and how long have you been drawing?
21 here, drawing since a couple months ago
>>84152430
No idea. She hasn't posted anything to her anything in a long while. Hopefully she's okay.
>>84152419
They probably left cause of all the drama and shit that was going on earlier this year.
>>84152461
>>84152306
25, going on 26 next month.
Currently having troubles setting up episode 3.
this character survives being pulled down the stairs, i'm having trouble drawing the scene where he escapes this situation, and would rather skip in. would having him just wake up after being saved or something be okay, or does it seem like a cop out?
>>84152156
it's like kid radd had a baby with undertale and cradled it snugly in my bookmarks
>>84152627
i think you can compromise. a few nearly-closed-lids view of being carried or saved or whatever.. maybe a quick silhouette of what happened.
>>84152306
any shortcuts/tips?
>>84152419
Who cares? People come and go. Shitty people drop off all the time
>>84153018
But the shittiest people of all continue to post.
>>84153125
Then stop
>>84152962
Shortcuts? No.
Tips? Draw. No seriously, draw. Research on what it is you're drawing. Use references if needed. Pick up a book on drawing, or study everything under the sun that is related to comics, art, and storytelling. I wish someone had told me this when i was younger, but i'm barely getting into the mindset of a professional, even though I'm not. Try and pick up habits that will benefit you and your comic. But above all, have fun with it. Because even though some people may not enjoy your work, at least you will.
>>84153204
Holy fuck this is so much work maybe I should just flip burgers at mcd's
>>84153204
got any examples of really early works to motivate us?
