"ugh, did you guys see the lion king? the art is soo cringe because of the cel shading."

SAID NO ONE EVER.

I know,and when I started out I knew I wanted to have a different style for each of my stories but being told not too make my own style and just copy others really confused me and that intern seemed to anger them .I've studied up on different styles and even a little in a university course I know there are various different styles so I thought having my own styles would just be okay since clearly others have done it but I still get those messages

[Zeedom]

I understand cel shading works well in animation since it really saves time and effort and money but don't feel you have to change your style for others,if you want to use cel shading then do it,real artists can make the best out of whatever style or medium they use,whether it be pencil,paint,digital or whatever they prefer.I don't want to use cel shading but I don't mind seeing it all.I don't understand why some people feel the need to tell artists too drop everything they've done up until that point and suddenly use another style all because they don't the current style or they like only one style and think everyone should use only that style.I don't expect everyone to like my art but I don't get why they would message me telling me to change everything,especially when they haven't even taken the time to look at any of my other work,or do some basic research on what they're talking about or even bother to say hello first

I think style is a byproduct of what we do, but it's not something we should seek out. That's a path toward developing a stiff and affected style. Just try to tell the story in the best possible way and let the critics worry about categorizing your style.

[Zeedom]

I agree and disagree with you.being able to adapt to styles is necessary if you work on a project with other people like on an animation project,but when doing your own it's has more freedom.However I knew from the start what I wanted and I wasn't forcing it it was what I naturally wanted to do,thinner limbs for the one story and more muscular for the other and tweaks for each to fit the story and genre and I wanted to do that but being told not to be original threw me off and I spent a lot of time mixing styles to get to more what others wanted until I decided i had enough and went back to what I originally wanted . Sometime people have their style at the start or know what they want and that's okay too

Please no more off topic posts, return to the original idea of this thread.

I have also gotten comments from trolls and jerks. However, I have always set aside time to understand where the other person was coming from. Maybe they didn't know what they were talking about, and maybe I didn't know what I was talking about.

LMAO, it's funny because I got the same thing with my gay comic and what I did was to IGNORE that person. I'm not going to entertain nonsense. I'm trying to tell a story. I'm not here to draw porn to fulfill your gay fantasy so move around lol

[UbePie]

I did ignore them. I just found it annoying, because like you said I’m telling a story. I have always just wanted to make comics and stories with actual plots and adventures where the charcters just happen to be gay. Not enough representation and it’s sad that only porn can get people’s attention. That’s not an accurate depiction of gay life or the hardships and struggles we go through.

This sexulization of gay stories is also why I don’t write about Leabians as my main character. If someone said somthing inappropriate I would just turn into a raging feminist Lesbo, so i just avoid that all together.

This comment was left on my QnA answers episode. Doesn't sound too bad right? Wrong. The girl he's talking about is 14 years old.

[Melinda]

The rudest comment i ever got:
"I gotta be honest with you author!the art is so fine that i could easily get over the lousy story line. but heck your english sucks!!! for god's sake at least try to get some help with that! i can't keep reading any further"

This comment really makes me down i even thought "Should i stop continue my comic in english? I want to reach international market but i think i'm no good because of my english T-T "
But i only mind his comment about my english, i don't really mind what he said about my story LOL

[TheThoughtfulBoxful]

my advice to you is to ignore this person and keep truckin'

[Devika]

Bah, ignore them! How are you supposed to improve your English if you don't use it?

[kristintipping7]

I agree with the other two comments. One complaint doesn't outway all the people who read and enjoy your comic.

[joe_galindez]

Hmmm . . . anyone up for round-robin-style English lessons?

[IchiruSakuraba]

I don't have a comic up yet and I don't get comments terribly often but this year during Inktober I had a kid telling me my art style was wrong. I apparently didn't meet their chibi standards lol.

[SpavVy]

Face palm Ehhhhhhhhh.... Figured my style, use of pronouns, characters names and such makes it pretty obvious but I guess not to some people.

[Tanako]

holy crap ewww.... this is why i avoid putting underaged characters or kids in my comics, not to mention mines M/M. i'm afraid i'll get something weird and honestly, im mentally not ready for that. not that you shouldn't, you should be able to do whatever you want but, thats what happens if you do. you get weird/ mentally F***** up comments. anyway, just ignore em' at least thats what i do most of the time when i get weird sh** like that.
