Please remove Skype chat from the OP and replace it with Discord link.

I don't think you can do that since the discord links sort of expire often?

Does anyone frequent the skype chat anymore anyways?

You can generate Discord links that don't expire IIRC.

If that's possible, then it'd be neat.
By the way, what if we make some sort of site where we put all the resources neatly organized and just link there each thread?

>tfw you get the hiveworks rejection email and it reads "please don't send us any more submissions, ever"

I'm gonna post the drafts for our new Gaia page in this and the next posts. This page is very unusual for us since several major revisions were necessary.

Sketch No. 1

The large panel of this first sketch eventually became the last panel of the previous page in a reduced format.

Sketch No. 2

Sketch No. 3

Sketch No. 4

Inked version

Finished page

What happened to the last thread?

whoa!!! how the fuck did you make those rainbows so fucking shiny? that's beautiful. they look... icy somehow

what do you mean?

So many fingers were harmed. Also necks.

reposting from last thread

looks awesome.

It went to a better place due to old age.

I'm only the writer of the comic. I'm not familiar with my artist's process to create a specific special effect.

Will you ever answer these questions? desuarchive.org/co/thread/84398690/#84405161 desuarchive.org/co/thread/84347888/#84394673

>1
I don't know. Maybe because our website is not designed to work particularly well on mobile devices and those become more and more important.

>2
I was very confident that the cover will look very good.

Or maybe it has something to do with this. desuarchive.org/co/thread/84398690/#84405200

the whole hiveworks thing is fucking hilarious. if you look at the accepted people they all have the same cartoony style type that hiveworks masturbates to. hiveworks doesn't even want to humor your shit if it doesn't look like it came from cartoon network's scrotum, lmao.

Has anyone here gotten accepted yet?

Who got accepted? Did they announce that?

Just how sour are those grapes?

Nah he's just going full Sup Forums.

oh hey it's you
so you work with two different artists on two comics eh

I was gonna say. As much as I don't like Hiveworks, they do have some comics that stand out. Most do have a similar look though.

dude shut the fuck up. I didn't post that so you could keep reposting it every time Novil shows up, badgering her to answer your insipid questions

Nobody here will ever get accepted

...

Especially not you, feelsposter scum.

Fair enough. Nobody here is any good.

Nah, same artist.

>her
Oliver's a boy's name, even in Germany. You're thinking of Powree, the artist.

Don't you accept me?

I remember when the fjordson person used to post here. That was som top dollar quality.

I feel like all the good regulars are gone now though. They've all left us for the discord chat

wow, powree's versatile in style then.
where did the nickname novil come from then? to me it just sounds like a medicine, and you just in general sound like a girl. but that sense is wrong like a third of the time, so.

No

Art was great. Story was plodding and boring as fuck.

Does anyone know what ever happened to the Webcomic Overlook? It was my favorite webcomic review site but one day El Santo just disappeared. He used to write articles for CBR too but he hasn't done one in almost two years. His twitter is barren too. Where did he go?

Submission: declined

...

I'm really, really wondering who got accepted because a friend of mine (outside of here) submitted a SUPER cool pitch and only got a "you made it to the final selection process but sorry we didn't pick you" email. I thought for sure she was going to get picked.

That GIF is completely terrible

If you go check on twitter there's a couple people who have been offered interviews.

...

That (you) says otherwise.

I care about you too

...

...

Oddity Woods and Goodbye to Halos are the only ones who were accepted for interviews that I know of so far. I think people are holding off on announcing it to the world until it's actually official.

Sure, it sucks if you don't have a similar style, but as a reader it's nice that there are websites with certain types of content you're into.

It's not a big deal to me. My plan for webcomic success (assuming it's achievable) never included Hiveworks. It would be a nice boost, for sure, given the massive readership of HW, but getting rejected isn't even a speed bump.

This. Hiveworks uses contracts and it'd be stupid to announce you were accepted before even looking at the contract. There's a chance some people are going to disagree with the terms in the contract and turn it down.

This page is clear as to what's going on, right?

I think the feet should be down if the raven's that close to the ground. The feet are up at the "wings are up still airbraking" stage. source: watched lots of birds landing.
right now it just looks like he's having a cute human-style sit.

anyway, as for the events.. yeah. they landed at the national library of congress, got a handshake from the king of books, then his brother the marquis of reading is showing them the way to the pillar room
as they sheepishly enter, david bowie comes up, but then he's gone, and they're just walking around checking out all the pillars while crowds of people playing hide-behind-the-pillars watch them. the pillarpope watches too
finally, jesus and his pal lawrence of arabia, sharing a big throne.. like stupidly high up, like he's going to be painting the ceiling, address the two and berate them for their lateless. it's not their fault of course as the national library is just that impressive, and their bird is a lot less fuel efficient than his own bird, who sits on the throne begging for cheetos

feed back would be great, just finished this after a busy few weeks.

Why can't you post the actual page here? I don't want to click that.

I don't think I would've even gotten into Hiveworks if I had submitted this year. And even getting in didn't jumpstart my career. Still got rejected from Oni and other folks.

Anyway lot of y'all do get work. I wouldn't even be where I am without coming here and Sup Forums in general. Keep up the goodness.

If you ever feel bad about not getting into Hiveworks just remember that Miss Melee wasn't good enough but this was considered exactly what they were looking for this round

cause its 11 pages in one album.

That's childish, broski.

Where did you find that?

Just to drive the point home:

"Try again next year"...

I don't even know what's going on. But are they lesbians?

...for this, but...

..this right here? Your next Hiveworks approved comic in syndication.

The deck is stacked, guys. Don't even bother.

Sounds about right.
But seriously
>got a handshake
It doesn't actually look like Skalmöld's shaking the guy's hand, right?

I appreciate the support but please don't drag my comic into this.

But it doesn't look bad at all. You may not agree with me, but I think both comics are at a similar level as far as visuals go. It only shows that Hiveworks prefer certain styles over the others. No need to sperg about it.

How did you ever guess??

This looks fine.

>tfw brown girls and lesbians are being overused and ruined by tumblr

normally i'd agree but jeeeesus, look at this

oh now that i've looked more closely, she's holding her OWN hand.
I'm sure once this is finished up, that ambiguity won't be there

I don't see the problem other than I don't particularly care for the style personally. It's fine. The colors are harmonious. I have no idea what the story is about from 2 pages.

don't forget tv.
remember subtlety and innuendo? i miss those.

show your comics.

Where do you think those people who worked on those shows came from?

nyoh my god

Team tumblr, fuck Sup Forums.

Sexy Verse. Pay someone to Porn this.

I'm paying for enough porn as it is. Just wait until the site makes more money. I'll just churn out porn like nothing.

...someday...

There will never be too many brown lesbians

>tfw you're a brown lesbian irl

que

london

Don't die on me, you faggot thread!!!

Pages 1 and 2 of my comic project, currently untitled.
I made a post way back about the scanner I was using, and after a few runs I think I got the hang of it, so it's not as bad as I said it was, but it turned out to be frustrating.

I'm actually not too pleased with the text boxes and their placement, except for the last block. So I'm really open to suggestions on that. I also don't mind drawing more panels if you really think it would be an improvement.
The panel about "TV," I really have no idea what to put in there.

no idea? you put south park in it, it looks perfect to me.
this is pretty cool so far. i'll be interested in where you take it. if YOU can think of a solution to this, maybe a solution exists.
haha who am i kidding it'll be aliens or something

Looks good to me. All I'd recommend is cleaning up your ink so it's a little less scribbley and fixed-width. That's just my style preference talking though because I like to make sure all my important elements pop out by giving them thicker lines.

>NEET protag
Dropped.

The comic looks fine tho

Okay, I think I'll stick with South Park then.
Aliens aren't a bad idea.

I tried doing that on panel 1 of the second page, but then I got lazy haha. I'll clean it up in photoshop later, and attempt some colors too.

Aw, well that's okay.
Will you still give me tips/critique during the times when a page needs it? I think it'll be good to consider suggestions from a diverse audience.

I think it looks great. Even though it's true, I refuse to believe anyone would own one of those pillows.

I would if they were cheap and bore the correctly-rendered image of any of my waifu
but they aren't and they don't.

yer always welcome here, brah

>calling that a pillow

Step it up, senpai.

I own one. I don't care what society thinks anymore.

Who's your waifu?

I just don't see how anyone can get out of a rut like that without an outside force rescuing them
