July COMICS CHALLENGE - Get Stuff Done!

[gabriellabalagna]

Hello, Zora! That's such a fun idea to finish a short story by the end of the month. Can't wait to see what you create!

[EncryptedWriting]

Your art is so nice

[Dialusion]

My available time to work got cut to 25% of what I'm used to, so I welcome a challenge like this. It's also a great way to hold myself accountable!

Star-Studded Salutations everyone! Díalusion here and for this July Comics Challenge, I'll aim to finish up production on the first season of SUMMON! The Nameless Relic (or at least finish up as much as I can) as well as have proper character sheets/reference sheets for the major characters.

[renaissancebadger]

thank you so much, that;s very sweet!!! it's not quite where i wanted it to be for this comic but i'm glad people like it <3 ;w;

[gabriellabalagna]

Hi, Díalusion! Yes, personal and public accountability can be total motivators. Here's to hoping you finish up that season 1 and make some reference sheets too!

[KiabIce]

Upon drawing this character I realized modern clothes looks best on her.

[Rocksteady_Comics]

Just in time to join this challenge. I could always use some more motivation!

Hi folks! Rocksteady_Comics (Sharkemental elsewhere) here and I make Rocksteady Mining Co. Hoping to finish up my comic's first arc and start building up a buffer for arc 2 (since the buffer I had has... evaporated). Looking forward to seeing everyone's work!

My aim for today is to ink and colour this.

Lots of rocks and moss and trees.

Ok, so let's start
Hadis is most important secondary character in GoA, I want to give her more of a slender elvish + sporty look. I think I got the silhouette I like for her after a few tries, so here it is. I will still work around it, will definitely leave the leggings, but the top part needs more work. If the top will change for something more sport-looking, I will change her sneakers for sandals to keep that medieval-modern balance.

Hi! I try to work between 2-6 hours on my comic every day already, depending on how much time I have, but I might as well join. if for nothing else, then to be more active in the community. I'm strictly a writer - 0 art skills here - so I'm focusing on getting as good as I possibly can at that. my current focus is on short comics (that end up getting longer and longer lmao) and I'm working on my current one while waiting for 2 finished scripts to be drawn by artists. man, they can't be done soon enough.
right now I'm trying to pick a name for my MC, and I'm hoping to finish that by the end of the day so I can move on to the fun worldbuilding stuff tomorrow. I hope I'll remember to update here frequently lmao

Subscriiibbeeedd, this is amazing! I miss Teen Titans so much lol

Hello, I'm Emilly & I'd also love to participate!

I draw a thriller/horror apocalypse comic called The Blind Effect. It's my first vertical-scrolling webcomic so it's been an adjustment! I really need to try and draw the minimum 30 minutes a day to help speed up how often I get episodes out (right now it's 1 a month, I'd like it to be 2-3.) So this challenge will be really fun! Thank you~

[AwesomeSoFar]

Summon has Seasons?!

[AwesomeSoFar]

well, here's my first update I guess. I managed to finish the name! and while I'm at it, I'd like to get your opinion on it.
"Imelda Terranova", or "Tara" for short. she'll mostly go by "Tara".
what I really like about this name is that it relates to the themes of the story, of not settling for the shitty life you're given and fighting for a life you're happy with no matter how scary it might be.
"Imelda" means "Warrior Woman" or "Powerful Fighter", and "Terranova" means "New Land". so together they basically mean "Woman who fights for a new land", which fits how she fights for a better life.
"Imelda" also means "Universal Battle", which is even more fitting considering what she's battling against is life or fate, which people like to refer to as "the universe".

@AwesomeSoFar Love that name! It's always so intriguing when there is a meaning behind a name.

@KiabIce ooh, fun clothing designs!

@Legendofgenii Ooh, fallen tree bridges are fun! Great job with this. Ever seen Anastasia? This reminds me of a scene in it.

@Kelheor you're nailing the elf/sporty look so far. Sweet design!

@inubasket Welcome to the challenge, Emilly!

[gabriellabalagna]

Okay, Everyone! Welcome to day 1 of the July Comics Challenge. Below is a little motivational quote for the day. By joining this challenge you're already one step closer to your comic goals. So let's stick together this July and have some fun while we're at it!

Also, BTW I added a free calendar for July in the original post here.

And here's what I worked on today. I already had it started, but this is for a five point turnaround. I'll be working on the other angles during the upcoming days.

[Kelheor]

Whoa, it looks really professional!

[Legendofgenii]

Ever seen Anastasia? This reminds me of a scene in it.

Awe, it's been years since I've watched that. I'll have to watch it again and look out for this.

[gabriellabalagna]

Thanks! I was inspired by The Legend of Korra model sheets. Love that style and how clean they look.

[Scarlet_Cryptid]

Okay! Progress report! Today, I took a page from blank, to panel layout...

(red arrow is to indicate which panel I'll be focusing on for this progress report, since the following pages are spoilery, and this one is the right combo of interesting and non-spoilery)

...to rough pencils... (on the whole page, not just this panel)

...to clean pencils (again done on the full page, not just this panel).

Time spent: an hour and 40 minutes. Tomorrow, inking!
