Hello! I wanna get more involved with the Community! Let's Talk!

Any tips you might have on working with multiple works? Right now I have a Slice of life I've been working on (three years counting now), but I'm currently trying to get a commission account started, and trying to introduce a new comic later in December.

ahh! thank you so much! im glad you like the style of it! when i first did the panels i was suuuper indecisive so im glad i found a comic style thats pleasing to the eye

[YangKoete]

Ehhh...Something that just ruins comics for me are specific things characters are for "Species". . w.'

It's just a personal gripe.

Oh yeees! I think from my own experience handling multiple works that the key is the schedule. So what you really need as a strict schedule that you respect no matter what! If you keep consistent and on schedule you'll have no problem.

Another thing I can see as important is knowing yourself and how much work you can handle, it's not easy to juggle 2 serious comics, but you can add a comedy, 4 koma or slice of life into the mix. Since those require less work. Or you could try working with some interesting stylistic choices, like silhouettes or minimal lighting to work with a less time consuming comic.

No problem!!! It looks like fun! a a nice stylistic concept always help to grab attention.

If I might give a bit of advice here and I hope that's alright: I think you could play with he concept and push it to the next level by playing with colors to represent characters mood changes, and highlight the emotional aspect of a scene or give emphasis on a more subtle detail.

Like having brighter colors when 2 characters that have a good relationship are in the same scene, etc. Or play around and make fun concepts with colors.

Or even add some animated panels into the mix to signify change in moods or tones.You could easily have an establishing shot pass from afternoon to night with minimal editing work required and it could look pretty cool!

Sorry If I crossed the line, but I had the idea and thought it'll be nice to share!

[goobermation]

Ahhh I see I see.

Well that's fine! Thanks for the input!

Hi,

The forums here are awesome Lots of great advice to be had!

I read a couple of your comics and didn't realize you had a third one ^_^ I really enjoy Sombria. I actually love the way it starts with a raw, sketchy drawing style and intriguing story. I like how it's progressed to a more refined, finished look, but I think the earlier drawings made it 'click' for me. Bubbly Parfait is a lot of fun, too. I'm amazed at your ability to be able to produce 3 entire colour comics! I'm at my limit with just one, and it's black and white!

Responding to comments people make on your comics is also a great way to get involved with the community. There's some amazing readers as well as artists here.

Hello, Goobermation, and welcome to the forum!
Since I'm invited to ask anything, I will ask: What do you like to do for fun when you aren't drawing comics? For me, it's pretty much anything that involves physical exercise, because drawing, while fun, can be very sedentary (physically, not mentally). I'm posting a link to my Tapastic comic, and will be checking your three comics out real soon!

[goobermation]

HI!!!

Thank you so muuuch! for the opinions I'm very happy to hear it!!! And so glad you enjoy my work!

Yeaaaah, it is pretty good way to interact with the users!

[goobermation]

Hahaha I know right? Mermaids are great!!!

Also that looks fun! The neon style I find it very 90's and it's something I haven't seen used a lot, so adding that to the story I think it makes it pretty unique I like that! The designs of the creatures seem pretty colorful and fun to work with!

I like mermaids, fantasy settings, games, and mystery

[goobermation]

so glad you liked it!!

Hello! candaceandco!

When I'm not doing comics, I like to dip my feet in 3D and programming I hope to be able to make some games or at last some interactive experiences with that knowledge.

OOOh your comic reminds me of some comics a used to real, where the strips were more horizontal, and the old style cartoon aesthetic sells it too! I haven't seen that in a while and it's pretty refreshing!! Good job!

[goobermation]

OOOooh that's pretty interesting, I text based story, made exclusively in short burst and sentences. So it's easy to read. That's good considering the problems with writing and internet media is mostly that people don't have the time to read long texts.

So making it short and kind of dialogue based can help reel people in to your content easier.

I was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s. Neon and Glow-in-the-dark are in my blood. lol My blood glows. I love it.

Thanks! I'm happy you like the style of my comic! X3

I like those things too, What games do you play?
