Clip studio tapas forum comic challenge

[mariusthered]

So I was trying to think of some way for us to all work on something together. and I came up with this comic thread idea for all the Clip studio users who all have the same 3d characters that come with the software. ( don't worry I'm not leaving everyone else out. read on)

so the idea is you make a comic using the characters that come with Clip studio, then you post is below and see what script other creators can do with it. (this means writers can join in with artists in the same thread)

I did a quick sample one below , you guys can add the speech bubbles, I look forward to what you guys come up with.

[mariusthered]

im giving up doing things to make the forum better. what is the point anymore?

[fifthpaw]

There doesn't need to be a point. Just do what you want to do, and let others do what they want to do. If no body wants to join in, that's fine. If people do join in then extra fine. If people then takes things in a different direction then what you wanted, then enjoy the ride. At least that's how the homeless guy down the block take things.

@michaelson I think the actions of members here deserve your attention as a Mod. it might still look like the quite forum it use to be, but the truth is all the trolls gather on discord just like the trolls of old who hid under bridges. shameful and quite sad that all they can do is the sad little lives is try to upset people.

Do you want me to close the topic?

I'm a little confused.

[Buurd]

I don't think this was intended to bully you.

Your post did not state they had to be serious replies, I got (and based on the likes - others) a laugh out of the fun poked at the 3D models odd gravity. I didn't see it as an attack on how you set up the models, simply that 3D models can do weird things this way (I've had a good laugh while trying to set up my own poses time to time)

Anyways, this is a comic/writing forum. You said people can add dialog. These forums are home to many different artists who write many different genres - for example comedy.
I thought your OP was cool cause yeah, everyone can see these panel set ups and do many different takes on them. There was nothing in the OP that said it had to follow strict rules.
Had the thread gone on longer and consisted only of panty jokes if you expressed you wanted it to be more serious - that would be considered bullying. But after the first joke was made all you said was:

i made that at 3am dude give me a break! lol

which reads as lighthearted and enjoying the fun imo?
The comic with the first joke did install some community spirit from what I've seen, it just might not be in the way you desired as Fifthpaw pointed on in a previous reply.

[mariusthered]

no i want you to observe your number one rule of the forum being broken. is this the actions of people being polite? going out of their way to wreck a thread that is meant to encourage community spirit. I am not one to go behind peoples backs to report things that upset people I do it openly to show i have honest intentions.

I guess ripping the thread down is the only option if it's just going to cause trouble

very true. I enjoyed the first response cartoon very much. the others just go out of their way to twist this thread on it's own intentions. if people want to carry on I'm not stopping them every copy of clip studio paint has the same characters. but this was not intended to be used to cause upset.

[joannekwan]

I don't think it was intended offense at your expense Marius. A lot of 'caption this cartoon' type entries are pretty tongue-in-cheek, and when you leave it up to the public, you can get wild responses.

Like this one I just found through Google

"three cheers to the legislators in Italy."

from here

[mariusthered]

fair enough. I retract my complaint but I wont be making effort any longer. It is very easy to to see why the forum is not the happy place it use to be.

[joannekwan]

You were gone for a while I must say. A whole new influx of creators came in during your hiatus and quite a few forum veterans had left.

[mariusthered]

I haven't left. I have been here for five years , true i might have gone quite while i was busy for a time but i have always been here. I have more to say on this but
A. this is not the thread to do so
B. I want to calm down and get a few things together before I make another thread and say what I feel. I dont think writing in anger is a good idea.
