LAST YEAR'S RENT

:O

What did I miss?

Hey scribblehatch

:3c

whats ur comic boi

>implying any of the shit you guys churn out is even worth 10c

Here's a character.

I haven't even started, but I have family members in actual successful media so I'm guaranteed success. I also have Jewish family members.

>jew false flagging
Sup Forumstards fuck off

I have a pencil, some paper, and my phone. If you want I can draw fanart of your character(s) and you can judge my art :3

>doesn't know about my movie directing Jew uncle

What's his story?

He looks like the kind of nigga that'd be into smooth jazz.

His name is Lozer. And yeah -- smooth jazz sums him up fairly well. He grew up in a united space colony -- unfortunately due to his genetic differences, he's somewhat less capable and this caused him to grow with an inferiority complex. Lozer found a living essentially being a fall guy for a few criminal "buddies" until they sold him out for their own safety and he ended up in prison. Years later, he gets out and seeks to make an honest living.

So if I just want to draw a comic and have no experience coding for a site, where should I go?

Does this sound normal/passable?
"I cut ties with everyone and applied for a job on a neighboring city.
((followed by))
Our professors often said only 10% of what we learn in college will be applied to our fields in real life. I always thought they were wackos..."

Very slowly beginning work on a new series.

Ask me what you want and maybe I'll do it if I'm bored enough.

He looks like Mike Wazowski and Geodude had a child.

I like him though. He's adorable.

you have interesting whatever those lines in the background are.

It's a grid, son. To help lay out where panels can a should go.

Can't tell if you mean the guidelines or in the comic itself.

oh shit we have those? I just lay panels wherever spacing and size looks right.

I don't strictly adhere to them all the time, but they help give a general idea.

traditional spelling is 'whackos' but otherwise yeah i see nothing odd about this

...

Find a friend or buy a friend-I mean buy a site coder.

Sexy man service when?

Another week's page done, and I actually have sort of a buffer for once which is wild. I also tried some fancy ink effects so next time I'll have an excuse to be sloppy.

...

based/10

but really tell me honestly,

how IS your webcomic?

Yeah, It was kind of making me reluctant to design him that way, but he's got a somewhat different look to him.

This is his co-worker

Lame

ooooh, goopy

Needs work

no, you must have confidence!! unless you were talking about the strip i posted, in which case, all right, fair point

CUT MY COMIC INTO PIECES
NO ONE BUT ME WILL CARE
THAT'S OUR ONE THING
IN COMMON
WORTH LESS THAN A BOWL OF INSTANT RAMEN

whoa cool. why is kiki wearing those? is this a future sport?

No, I mean I'm only like 25 pages in and I need to edit/add panels, and do some work to make the plot not a jumbled mess so early in.

Nah just, I have a hard time with perspective and backgrounds is all.

never progressing. I've deleted and rewritten and deleted and rewritten a lot of shit for so many times now, but its still not satisfying for me. I look at some of the works of other people on the site that I'm targeting and it's not like my story is worse than many of them, but I don't feel satisfied with my stories even though I enjoy the process. I started making comics because I make pretty pictures, and when I made a story, it felt more satisfying than just making portrait/pose fanarts because it actually has a message or well.. story, but I can't write for shiiiiiit.

post some pretty pictures you made, I'm sure there are a lot of thirsty writers in here willing to pitch ideas at you

>CUT MY DICK INTO PIECES

>FUCK MAKING PROGRESS NOW

>PROCRASTI-BATION

>NO FINISHING

>GONNA KEEP EDGE-ING TIL I BLEED FROM CHAFFING

>

>I CAN'T OPEN ANY MORE TABS

its not satisfying to have other people do it m8

Are you me?
I can draw, I draw decently enough of midwestern stuff and storms and stuff like that but I cannot for the life of me write.

I tried writing comics beforw, I tried animating, I tried writing stories and they all become like a mixed up bundle of wire.

>PROCRASTI-BATION
this is a revolutionary new term that will redefine how I view my habits

>have some time before bed
>work on comic
>OR
>browse porn/masturbate
The first one never fucking wins.

>tfw my fetish is porn noises without the visuals
Best of both worlds :^)

Meat tenderizers. I was drawing a giant lobster as well.

somebody please tell me how to do a good comic

Practice

hes asking about comics, not drawing.

Make characters people will invest in and have interesting things happen to/between them. Resolve it satisfyingly.

If the writing is good then bad art is forgivable and it'll still be a good comic, but the opposite isn't true. I can't emphasize that enough.

From last thread, the full body list monsters for my upcoming project.

Honestly with how powerful digital art is nowadays, you could get away with tracing as long as you're careful about it. A lot of times the story you want to tell is limited by your art, but really don't be afraid to "heavily use references". I mean, USE the shit out of those references. Put another layer on top of them and trace it, then flip it horizontally and make some edits.

As long as you're not a retard like Nick Simmons you'll be OK.

HELP

you have shit tastes in who's the worst character in homosuck

I hope you're not writing a comic in here with shit taste like that. Remember, writing skill actually matters.

Okay

I always wanted to do a story about a family of Superheros. But the MC has no powers and has to live with while struggling with his senior year in high school and bring a damsel all the time.


So how unoriginal am I?

This. Just trace and edit a little, user. Why improve your skill in drawing when you can do it the easy way?

Reminds me of this Disney Channel Original Movie I saw when I was a kid. "Up, Up, and Away", I think.

Also, anything with superheroes needs a dramatically original take on it or it's like white noise. I think your idea could end up pretty good, but the premise might get a little stale. What else is there to the plot?

it's great. do it, and post it here.

well not as good as yours, but it updates a lot more often

no real point nowadays. save time, don't be a chump. no one wants to read ugly shit

hey guys, sorry i did't respond to any body or post anything after my page was finished, when i say cya i really am gone until i have a new page to post, my bad, maybe i will stick around this time when im done since im bored with all the pc and ps4 games ive been playing, even blade and sole

*HERE IS A SUPER EARLY SNEAK PREVIEW OF PAGE 40 OF FATES WHICH IS WHAT MI WORKING ON RIGHT NOW!*

what was there?

mine is worth top retail dollar, but i share it all for free so i can get famous off my art the hard way

*famous, not rich or rich and famous, there is a difference

like jhon cena or chris chan or dobson meme famous, if that makes any since? lol XD

X'D

lol

MILF!!!!!

Who's a chump? I'm serious. Do it~ It's fun tracing. Shaves off unnecessary time and effort!

It's mostly like him just hating Superheroes and villains in general as they pretty much ruin his life even if it isn't related to his family like being stuck in traffic while a giant battle is going on.

Mostly things like that about how his life gets fucked over by the capeshit that hits his world. Plus I'm thinking about using the idea of him considering being a super villain most cases but as a tease most cases.

It seems generic and awful but I'm hoping to find out so things to spice it up. I'm going for more of the comedy drama feel of it, pretty much showing the hardships of living life within the shadows of others. But I'm just testing the waters on how it works.

Should I play it straight or go full parody

I miss Jim Shaw

Eh, that sounds like it might work as an episodic comedy along the lines of Dan Vs., but it really needs a set story if you want to take it beyond gags. "I'm late to work because the villain of the week melted the road and ugh now I have to watch Captain Amazing beat the shit out of him while flying, how ironic that I find this blase and annoying" will work as a joke once before it gets tired.

You can push him as a supervillain but does he actually hate his family or is he just kind of jealous? Is it in his nature to commit evil or is he hopelessly incompetent? Is he proficient with villainous technology or is he just winging it and hoping no one notices he has no power?

ah cool
you should probably say that when you post art. it makes it more fun

First chapter will be up once I get a good scanner.
Anyone have any suggestions for ones that are good yet within a reasonable price range?

Also, old pic. I have all my panels inked, now I just have to ink the backgrounds and scan them.

lmgtfy.com/?q=good cheap scanner for drawings

there's a bit of that in Atomic Laundromat.

theres a bit of an already existing thing in everything

I know I could've done that, I just wanted to get some personal opinions first. Thanks though, I'll be looking into some.

but bones... your already a meme

"dont reply to bones" is the biggest meme this series of threads has ever known

your already a famous meme kid

your living your dreams bones!

what the fuck does that have to do wit my art, i dont want to be a meme, like my art needs to become a type of meme unto its self, ya know?

or maybe not, i dont know, it doesnt matter, nothing really matters, ya kn?

hey do you guys think she spits or swallows?

serious question

what if i suck at drawing, but i want to make a webcomic anyway, By using a photo camera and action figures?

with my art*

,ya know?*

LONDON?

She seems the type to spit, but I want her to swallow

It's more fun for me to know who is curious about what.

does anyone know what happened to willdrawforfood?

where can i find a webcomic senpai who will guide me on this journey?

Starved.

Best post

totes, i didnt mean to call it a ripoff. just maybe checking out how they do it can give you some context to what youre doing

i miss twisted kaiju theater
i always wanted to do a zoids photocomic.
basically if it's good, good writing, and if you have real photography skills, fuckin do it dude.

It still needs blood and other special effects but this i what the page is going to look like and yes the hot orc girl dies in this page, rip hot orc girl 2016

*fun fact, she uses to be a goblin girl, but all my goblin dudes and chicks look exactly like my orc dudes an chicks, so there are no more humanoid goblin characters any more, THERE ALL JUST ORC PEOPLE ON NIBIRU! (green skin, white hair, elf ears). all the goblin creatures of this webcomic live in the woods now and dont speak or act very human like, there more monkey like than man like now...

but this is what the page is going to look like*

lmfao underrated post!

*fun fact, she used* to be a goblin girl,*

ffs laptop keyboard wtf?
