Hmm... sound effects. May I ask for help?

Take a look at this page:

Now on that last panel, what sound effect would you think fits?
I was thinking of "SSSSHHH" or "Swwooossh" but I don't know. Sounds pretty weird LOL

OR. I could just leave it empty. What do you guys think?

I vote for leave empty! (´∀`)

I was think "SSSSHHHHAAAAA" as I read it. X3

I was thinking maybe "ahhhh~" or "shooaaahhh"xD I'm not that great with sound effects so that's all I can think of ;p

I agree with thinking "SSSSHHHHAAAAA" fits

@cylmill @joannekwan @thomassayle @Tanisha @Noglastiaa @Savannah @christinaeliz

Lets try SSHHHAAA for that panel.

Although the other sounds effects you guys said is good too... ALRIGHT! Imma gonna use em on the next panel where magic stuff happen! The everchanging magical SFX cacophony!

Say, while were on the subject. Does english translated manga (Like the ones published by Del Ray, Viz media)
Directly translate the japanese SFX, or replace with American SFX? (Such as POW! BAM! etc.)

Zannen00 2016-04-16 02:04:49 UTC #12

WOOOO!!

Thanks so much for that link!! SERIOUSLY!!

Tanisha 2016-04-16 02:14:41 UTC #13

Most manga keep the original sound effect in Japanese and put somewhere in small lettering what the sound effect translates too ^^b~

Sanz 2016-04-16 15:18:14 UTC #14

Youre welcome anything to help!

cylmill 2016-04-18 07:50:35 UTC #15

Looks really good! >:DD

I generally avoid sound effects in my comic and try to get the image to evoke the sound. But the stylized font you use works really well so I'd say keep it. =X

Zannen00 2016-04-18 15:29:00 UTC #17

By "stylized font", you mean on that last panel?
That was actually handwritten by me lol!

carloswebcomic 2016-04-18 15:35:31 UTC #18

Personally I would have used "WEEEEEEE, DOGGY!!!!". But that's just me.

I always forget to put sound effects XD but sometimes silent scenes can be powerful as well. I just assume that people could figure their own sound effects when they see the image instead of reading it.

i prefer it without SFX. Seems to clutter up a strong visual image
