Reposting yesterday's update in case anyone missed it. What do you guys think?

Finished this page. Pretty happy with it, but might touch it up hen I get a chance.

I think you guys need to be a bit more observant about your panel composition and how things flow. You have a diagonal slant across three subsequent panels, and Miss Melee starts in the center, falls to the left and...then kind of reorients back at the center? And her thoughts, the point of the third panel, the impact in the central panel of the page, are really small and understated.

A better way to visually guide your reader would be to place her more on the right hand side and slowly have her fall into the left corner, visually "cornering" her and showing her "slipping". It also leads to your next panel naturally.

It would also be a good idea to tighten the shot with each successive frame for a smooth transition between these three panels.

Pic related, shoddy edit to show you what I mean.

Yeah that looks pretty great. Centering people in panels is a general no-no. Especially if there's nothing else in the panel.

is it okay to suck at drawing?

literally every artist sucked at drawing when they first started
why do people forget this

character-limit-blog.tumblr.com/

Can I asks you guys a question? Do you think I need to spic up my...webcomic page? Do i need to edit some thing to make it less of a eyesore?

Which pic did you draw

Haven't posted in a very long while. Been busy with pulp stuff and other things. Getting started on working on the cover for the next installment of Jasper. How's everyone' morning so far?

>that looks pretty great.
It does!
>Centering people in panels is a general no-no
tell that to my OCD

it needs better navigation and a better archive page, but in general it's not too bad.
and you don't need to spic it up because it already is hahaha i think that's where you're from
son of a nimh, that's good stuff. i'm just enjoying reading the end of yesterday's thread. that was a hell of a neat thread.

neither but i'm not far off from the one on the right

Kind of. It's not shameful to suck - everyone had to start somewhere near the bottom, and nobody will ever be perfect - but it is an obstacle that needs to be overcome.

If you meant "do I need to have good art before posting here" then no.

>tell that to my OCD
Try to refocus it on the rule of thirds or the golden mean instead.

What computer programs do you use to draw?

I was working on a character height sheet for my webcomic, but it fell short of my expectations.

...

What are some good ways to improve your dialogue? I recently shared some of my work with an editing friend of mine, and he made my lines sound so much better.

read buks

Lots of people will recommend lots of things but as a writer myself I honestly never really studied or researched or observed to get better at dialogue. I practiced, took critiques, and made sure to stick to keeping it succinct. My only real dialogue influence is Tim O'Brien's novel, The Things They Carried, but I stray pretty heavily from that in the dialogue department, I think. It's important to think about "what's the fewest amount of words I can use to say the same thing?" and "would people in the real world talk like this?" with every line of dialogue you write. I'd honestly say it's more attention to detail, practice and applying fundamentals than it is proper study to get good at dialogue.

>what's the fewest amount of words I can use to say the same thing?
I try to think more 'the most interesting number of words' but then my comic can easily be accused of being too wordy. I constantly think about how it should be in an audio format

Well, she had it on Dewd's drawing.

Oh phew I was worried having my scale go up to 8'4 was wasted effort.

Honestly the reference sheet you gave me wasn't that off in the scaling - you'd just forgotten to have everyone's heels on the same level.

Yeah, it's like Gumball.

I think my problem is my writing is kind of boring, but my editor friend made my lines more interesting, he even surprised me by using words I never would have thought of. He has 30 years of experiance, so I guess I can learn a lot. Are there like free sites where you can share dialogue for critique? Should I get a thesaurus as well or something?

i like to bust out the online thesaurus from time to time, especially for poetic stuff or rhymes, but usually it never reccommends the words i want for normal dialogue.
the tough part is knowing those words that are unique and indispensible. for those you just have to listen carefully to erudite people talking and pick out words you haven't thought of and go study their meaning

You could take your dialogue to /lit/ and have them crit you. I can't promise they'll be any good, though.

page done for now

For general writing purposes, it's good to have a thesaurus and a style guide (something like Strunk & White's Elements of Style, Chicago Manual of Style, or the New York Times Manual of Style and Usage).

There are also numerous specialized books on period/subculture slang, idioms, proverb collections, etc. I'm especially a fan of the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. They usually make good pleasure reading, but sadly aren't utilized in thesaurus format. In 1811's case that means you can't just look for synonyms for asshole. Instead you've got to read through to F and find "fundament" without knowing that "fundament" was the word you were looking for.

The best thing to do is just read a lot, read out of your depth occasionally, and google the bits you don't understand or are curious about. Also if you've got an editor correcting your grammar, take some time to look up whatever "rules" he's correcting you on. You might as well know what a participle is.

Reposting this because I never got an answer back from the user who requested it on his thoughts

Not that user, but I think "cruel" could be better. I don't know how you could make it better but it definitely feels like it's not living up to its potential.

And this is my autism but "high school" is two words.

Is it still possible to get popular on deviantart, or should I move my comic onto tumblr? It feels harder to find some smaller lesser known artists on tumblr than deviantart. And i dont like the interface. Where do you guys recommend starting out?

I was planning on getting a somewhat decent fanbase on deviantart than branching out to tumblr, twitter, and what not.

How do artists on tumblr and twitter even get popular?

DA is kind of a shitty place to try to get popular by way of comics, unless you already have a huge following.

It isn't really built for comics. I suppose you might get a following if you spam groups, and do tons of fanart to bait people into coming to your page, where they'll also see your comics, but I've not seen any of that work for too many comic-focused artists.

Are there any guyver-esque webcomics out there?

DA isn't worth it as far as I can tell.

On tumblr, I think getting popular is some combination of clever tag use, submitting material to tumblrs that reblog stuff in a given category, following/engaging with people, and so on.

dA's heyday has long passed

eh, highschool is one word 60 percent of the time. perhaps it shouldn't be, but it has definitely become a compound word like preschool

I'm fucking losing my mind over having to start my pages over and over from the smallest mistake /hyw/. Is there an easy way to condition myself to like drawing digitally so I can just ctrl-z my problems away, instead of having to redraw the same shit tens of times over from the very beginning?

could you learn how to digitally edit your physical drawings?
in any case you shouldnt have to start the whole thing over from one mistake, only the mistake part.

The problem is the mistake usually comes so far into doing the strip that its near impossible for me to fix without there being a lasting mark on the page.

okay. Fine. ill accept it.

What do you guys suggest I do then to start getting known on tumblr? On deviantart, I started getting views just by commenting on other people's work and joining clubs. Is there some way, I can find a bunch of brand new comics on tumblr, with no comments, so I can spread out and engage more? I feel like trying to talk with a tumblr celebrities is pointless.

>submitting material to tumblrs that reblog stuff in a given category
Is this just using the right tags? Or is there like a special thing I can submit things to?

I like to do writing more than comics though btw, and using wattpad. Dont kill me.

That's just the main problem I have with wattpad and tumblr, where can I find the brand new submitted stuff, instead of the 10k views pieces of work?

Should I also do twitter?

Why are you starting over and over again, user? Are you drawing directly with ink? Don't you know erasers exist? Ink erasers? Don't you know how to patch your drawings with paper cutouts or tracing paper?
There are a bunch of ways to save drawings on a traditional medium, you don't have to start a page from scratch every time you fuck up a little detail.

You can digitally undo anything. Even on physical pages/traditional media. It might take a little time to get it to look right, but far better than literally starting the same page over.

Worst case scenario, there's white out, and/or just drawing the bad panel over again. Even on professional comics, if you look at pre-scanned pages, you often see entire panels or areas whited out or covered up and redrawn.

It isn't the end of the world if you make some mistakes, short of literally knocking a bottle of ink over on the page, or something.

>Is there some way I can find a bunch of new/unknown comic artists to engage with.

This thread for starters. Any number of webcomic forums will also do.

>Or is there like a special thing I can submit things to?

By way of example, look up eatsleepdraw, artistsupport, and webcomixwatch. Poke around their respective "about" or "faq" sections. There are many blogs like these, and they work a little like groups on DA. You submit work to a spot that already has a bunch of eyeballs on it. With luck, some of those eyeballs are drawn your way.

Nice start, and I know you're doing it for fun for an user who asked.

Personally I think you're flipping the fonts too many times. I know what you're going for in the accentuations on words, but branding wise, for a logo, this is a poor decision.

Also, it's not really clear what the "punchline" is for the logo is. Now, this is something you have to ask the creator of the series, but is it "brutal" or is it "cruel" or is it "super-hero high school"?

The TMNT logo here is a good example, where the TMN part of it is understated giving the attention to the word "turtles," which is more important than them being teenaged, mutants, or ninjas.

If this were my logo project, I'd keep the "super brutal super cruel" font type the same, maybe make the words "brutal" and "cruel" ever so slightly bigger or bolded or colored differently to give them emphasis. I would then join the font faces of Super Hero Highschool together because the hook of the whole thing isn't that there are super heros, it isn't that there's a highschool, rather there's a highschool for superheros. Thus you join them.

That's just my 2 cents.

>this thread
>Feel when I did post here and got nothing
well, more reasons to end it.

But i'll try these group things I guess. I'm going to make sure to find lesser known people. This is bullshit that tumblr and wattpad only shows people with 10,000 notes.

>What do you guys suggest I do then to start getting known on tumblr?
Fanart. That's how my artist got to 800+ followers. Most of his fanart was Sup Forums drawthread deliveries.

or anything about teenagers with full-body scifi armor, either mechanical or biological. i'm kind of annoyed there isn't anything like that out there and i want to see if there is so i know where to improve and not retread the same mistakes.

miss melee writer is that you

I mean that if you're looking for people to engage with on tumblr, here we are. Everybody's got one.

If you're posting here looking for feedback and desperate for a (You), the way to do it is usually to ask for specific feedback (how's my dialogue? is this composition clear? which pose says "x" better?), show up often, and maybe chat with somebody in the same post so they'll feel obligated to look at and comment on your work in their response.

Not him but he isn't wrong. I got 900+ followers doing something similar. The tumblr for my comic has significantly less followers though (150)

I've got over a thousand followers for my porn. About 20 some for my webcomic. Would it be a good idea to advertise the webcomic to the porn people, even though it's not porn related?

never said he was wrong, I was just wondering since I followed Miss Melee's artist on tumblr and he posts a lot of Sup Forums drawthread deliveries

I'm well aware that fanart is how you get popular on sites like tumblr

I doubt a huge percentage of them will go for it, but can it hurt?

well, i just drew fanart for fun recently. 0 fucks given. So, i don't know.
okay, im desperate.

Here's my tumblr, wattpad, deviantart. No, you don't have to read it. but could you guys tell me what im doing wrong here? I don't know what to do, or where to comment on things. I feel like I wrote everything wrong, but im too embarrassed to post it on /lit/ because i know it's garbage. But im not sure how to even start getting good at writing stories. i write my stories like they're plays. I don't what to do. I felt like i was actually getting somewhere by increasing my page views on deviantart, but on tumblr and wattpad. I feel like im doing everything wrong.

I guess I could try doing what you said to write small things and ask for feedback.

So there. And since im already doing this, ill just say im DollSlaps. i used to post critiques here in october, and i made a comic that had a character called prokii i submitted here. im a senior in highschool too, so im not a starving artist and have some time to learn. I wish i actually had some online writing friends or be an apprentice of someone instead of anonymous people. Ive already shitposted on the /ic/ beginner thread for two years. I feel like I wasted my whole highschool life doing nothing, and ive gone through multiple phases that just left me hurting. The worst part is realizing im adult now and don't have time for mistakes and fun like when i was 14.

You have literally two pictures on any of your anythings. And honestly they're not very good.

I couldn't read wattpad without signing up. Not gonna do that.
For some reason your DA link wasn't showing anything for me either.
And you literally joined DA 3 weeks ago.

If you want people to look at stuff you made, you might consider making more stuff first.

Art is horrendous, can't even look at it

>It's a "SpacePirate stays up all night drawing fucking water" page
Anyhow, I MIGHT not be able to work on my comic for the next two weeks (going to the US; I'm afraid the trip would kill 5-6 year old laptop)

I feel bad about not being able to update next week; I have the page of the next chapter, but haven't had the time to work on the map because of work. I might wip out a quick "map coming soon" image so that I can start updating this chapter the week after

I think the way you draw characters is great; they're super extressive and you clearly understand stylisation and the look of your pages would translate perfectly into a cartoon.
Though it triggers my autism how the line thickness doesn't vary between the roots (being thicker the closer they are to the "viewer") The pages don't look bad, mind you; just something that catches my eye

it looks really nice now. worth the effort.

Also, damn, looks like I missed out on a fun event yesterday.
Funny enough I had also been thinking about a /hyw/ height chart this week after what the Mimi author said, it's great CGGuy made it. It's quite fun to see how everyone measures up

Mine are total midgets; Gwyn I'd say is 125 cm, while Richard is 10 cm shorter (counting the eyes, not the top)

Thanks; I GENERAL I think these pages do look nice, I just dread making them because I hate drawing water or most non-solid.

>well, i just drew fanart for fun recently. 0 fucks given
No offense, but that's because your art isn't any good. It's going to take a lot of practice before anyone's going to take note of your work.

The best advice I can give you right now is to forget about trying to advertise yourself and focus on practicing the basics of drawing until it's in your bones. You can do comics if you want (it's good practice for art and writing), but don't expect them to be successful, and don't make them long or complicated. You want to finish them.

>tfw you spend all your time on your comic but no one reads it, triggering an existential crisis

Well, if I went back and made several more attempts and spent more time looking at references i know i could do better. But, i'm not really concerned about the art. Plus, not to show off my ego, but there's a fair number of people who have a solid fanbase with mediocre art, and it wasn't even for fetishes.

What do I even write? A paragraph? I don't know what to write besides a long story. All I want to write is a story that feels like a japanese light novel. My most favorite cartoon every is haruhi suzumiya after all. That's my goal.

I was never too passionate about drawing. I want to be proud of coming up with a good story; not if i can draw the most kawaii waifu, or create the most epic reaction faces.

Then go write a book/short story.

I don't think anyone would mind if you just uploaded the first page of the chapter without the map. Maybe you could upload a placeholder page where the map would go so the comments won't get messed up when you add it later?

As for the page, it's really nice but I feel like the characters don't look at all wet when they hit the beach.
(and for the ultimate in pedantry, what's with the ribbed sole on Madie's shoe? I thought that was a modern thing)

I'll just add 'em real quick like.

I did
docs.google.com/document/d/17fHT-grXlXblYHqBcnl5lXiDAaImaX3GpEklLLZuvbE/edit?usp=sharing

I really need to find out how to upload the text directly in a tumblr post.

Besides, it's too long for anyone to actually read. I only got one person to read it. And he did it because I begged.

I know im being complicated. But i feel stuck. like, what do i even write that people will read? Has to be short, and i could put it on a tumblr post. Maybe im supposed to write short things, get some fans, and then after I have some fans, they would be willing to read longer things. But i don't what to write about that's only a paragraph long.

Have you tried going to forums for authors/writers? Participated in NaNoWriMo?
Other writers are probably more likely to give your stories a read when you're just starting out. In a comic thread, people kinda expect you to actually post comics.

It's just bad and generic. Plus, this isn't 1900s, writing alone is not enough anymore. Free entertainment is a click away for everyone with internet.

You can cite one or two outliers, but that's just you looking for excuses to staying mediocre.

Sounds interesting. I guess I could try writing forums. Im going to start writing small things and submitting tumblr.
Maybe I could draw picture with. Okay, but here is my question though:

How do i write anime that's not cringe worthy weeb stuff? Like, i want to write anime like a harem or school life or milky holmes, but i don't know how to not make it cringy and cliche. And I don't want to write an anime parody or any otaku spoof.

DeviantART is horrenous for comics. If you want a following there it is best if you utilize your artistian skills on either fanart or original art to reel them in because they'll want to see more of your content.

>What do you guys suggest I do then to start getting known on tumblr?
Adapt to a schedule and continue to post daily: if you're going to post a original comic and if it is your first comic, post at least a few pages on start day to draw in an audience. Be sure to mix in fanart and original art too, on off-days when you're not posting your comic. Add in concept art and captions to accompany it.

>I feel like trying to talk with a tumblr celebrities is pointless
Then don't. Lurk their Tumblr, some do provide informative Q&A's on how they got started and how they became well-known in the community.

>Should I also use Twitter?
Twitter is a good communication platform, so yes. Another key to building an audience is through interaction with your fans and keeping them up to date.

>wattpad
You should opt for Wordpress.

>How do i write anime that's not cringe worthy weeb stuff?
You can't.

If you try to write anime, it will suck, always.

None of the the good stories they make in Japan try to be "anime", they're just trying to be good stories. Write YOUR take on harem or school life or whatever, as its own thing, without trying to imitate anything. If it ends up "anime", then so be it, but make it so that it ends up there because it's actually the best place for it to go.

This. Write a book, no one will read it. Make a comic, and lots of people will at least glance at it.

I'm a natural writer but had to learn to draw.

>what's with the ribbed sole

Oh, what I had INTENDED to draw was a worn-out sole; but you're right that it does look like an intentional pattern; just adding some vertical lines should give the better effect.

>writing alone is not enough anymore
Tell that to Chuck Tingle.

just remember what made good anime good and try to channel that same thing. because you know what made bad anime bad in recent years? 'trying to be anime like those other ones we like'.. and failing. it's not enough to aim at something good, you have to understand it. fully know what made it what it was

Okay, here is a silent sequence except dor a few sfx, or which I may add more).
Someof it requires clean up and a couple of the pages might be extraneous.
What has gone before :
The last time we saw Talon and 176, it appeared they were killed in the explosion of a dimension portal.

> this page was orginally for mood. Does it add enough to warrent its existence or should I shit can it?

2/5

3/5
Do I redraw the last panel- or discard this page?

>perspective is hard.

I want to leave the inside walls in p2 as they are, but know that I should not.

...

I would try to add more detailing on the ground in the first two panels. Maybe at least some shadowing under/around the buildings, and the bones in the second panel. I like how the skeleton sort of wraps around the landscape, though. It's a simple, small thing, but adds believable depth.

I'd also try to maybe not put so many planets in the sky. 1, 2, or 3 look really, really cool, but a sky filled with giant planets just doesn't really make much sense from a real science perspective.

Also, I feel like the flying thing--as neat as it looks--really gets lost in the last panel. His black spotting is almost identical to the ground below. From the thumbnail, you can't even tell he's there, and the fact that his wings are almost the same size as the chunks of ground you black spotted below, it gives it an off look.

Same thing to say about the planets in this page. Also, seems kind of odd to have the title like, 2/3 the way down the page.

You're going for that old-school, pulpy sci-fi, and those usually had a big establishing shot panel with the title in it on the first page, or they just went all out and had a big one-panel landscape splash page with the title.

It could be removed, yeah, but a page like this takes all of five seconds to read through, so there's no point to removing it now that you've spent the time making it.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look.
I don't argue woth crotoque as a rule- but thought I should mention:
The planet is the last a survivor of a previous universe, the planets in the sky are the literal ghosts of all the worlds consumed by this world (Destrokk) in the godwar that destroyed that universe. Hence the title.

I think I said this before, but I love the way you make the onomatopoeia integrate to the environment, but some of them get really lost in there as well.

I love that inking man. Really nice job.

So, "rub it on my face" was correct or not? I know it's figurative speech, but the context implies it's the same action.

>The planet is the last a survivor of a previous universe, the planets in the sky are the literal ghosts of all the worlds consumed by this world (Destrokk) in the godwar that destroyed that universe. Hence the title.

Ok, I see. I still think it looks a little odd, but I think part of that may also be because some of them kind of look like they were just pasted there, so they stick out a little too.

I suspected you had some intentional reasoning behind it, but it still seems a tad strange to me.

Maybe do something to make them look a little less "solid" or something? I'm not sure how a "ghost" planet would work, but something to indicate that they're more phantasmal or ethereal in nature, or something.

I'll definitely give it some thought. I do need to detail some if them, though. I honestly didn't notice I'd left so many undone.
The inking taxes me.
I really appreciate your input.

Progress. Lunch time.

but some of them get really lost in there as well.

You're right about that. I should probably try to change the color of the sky a bit in some panels to make some of them more visible.
It's kinda the difficulty when the onomatopoeia is water-related (so it'll be blue); but the character are also SURROUNDED by blue from the sea or the sky, so it's sometimes hard to find the right shade...

The alien designs are my favorite part of these; there's so much charm in their simplicity

>lunch
>7:19 PM

'rub it on my face' would be something you'd say about sunblock. 'rub it in my face' would be not letting someone live it down, pushing their failure right at them. 'rub it in' just means in general making someone in pain feel worse

THE PLANET GHOSTS OF THE COSMIC GRAVEYAAARD. i love it
oh and 'rub my face in it' would be forcing them to pay attention to what they've done.

so i've forgotten what we're actually talking about.

I slept in today.

>how's everyone

Glad to see you back. Hope we can get some other people back.

Likewise. Hoping to start up updating again real soon.

My advice, if it counts, it to make a little bit of outline, so it doesn't blends in with the rest of the background. I don't think there's a universal way of doing them, but a bit darker shade on one of the sides would do

Sorry for butchering your hard work, but I mean something among these lines.

Someone threw a jab at me saying I'm the older guy in the threads, so I said to him rub it on my face. So, from what I gather, it's rub it in.

Hey guys, I have a short thing I'm working on, and I just wanted to ask you which body type do you think is better for this guy?

His name is Mr. Lord Skeletaco (working name) he is a day of the dead skeleton and he wears a buisness robe. He is also anevil multigalactical taco buisness owner who destroys planets economies with his over inflated taco prices.

yeah that's it.
it's okay pops, we respect our elders in here

>Sorry for butchering your hard work

Hot damn! Don't apologize, that's a PERFECT solution! Thanks a lot for that; it's not even something that takes more than two minutes to do

First one is best.
>over inflated taco prices.
A mexican's worst nightmare

if he's an evil overlord then i'd go with the barrel chest rather than the gut.
and if you're looking for other puns, those day of the dead skulls are called 'calaca' so he could be calacataco or something

There's SALMON in the fish tacos, hank!
