The Official "How Does This Look?!?" Thread

Yes I think the colored version is much cleaner and more finished looking! ^^

I tried Medibang Paint Pro as @YoungAdventurer recommended more than a month ago. I really liked it, and I hope I got gud since. Same OC, btw.

Any advice, of course, is highly appreciated.

Hi there! I just uploaded my first comic on here. My boyfriend mentioned he wasnt a fan of the linework I used but can you guys give me some feedback too? I wanted to go for a more childrensbook-ish feel to it but maybe it is too sketchy looking? What do you think? My comic is here: Rin 'n Pip

Or you can take a look at this!

Are sprite comics absolute taboo?

[leoh090723]

Wow! You're so good! I think number one looks better because the highlights make the hair look smoother

[AffectedMind]

Thank you ^^

It'd be nice if we can get some reviews and subs.

So for my comic Wait...What I keep feeling like I'm missing something like background or something I tried some in this strip but kinda just divulged into colors the second one. Would having (and working on) backgrounds be good or should I do colors and or white background?

@scullpanda I think it depends on your comics needs. Some comics, especially gags get by with little to no backgrounds. If your story has an actual narrative structure and location is important you should probably start making backgrounds.

I'd like some feedback on which thumbnail to use for my comic. The picture will usually be pretty small and the goal is to see which one is the most eye-catching:

I love the first one

Also thanks for the advice OwO

[El_Psy_Congroo]

NP, and thanks - that's actually my original one. Let me just show two more I just made:

[scullpanda]

I liked the use of blank space for your first one ---These two are nice I like the top better then the bottom

[firgofumbra]

I usually do a lot more color and shading in my works - but that's been taking so much of my time that it made making new pages a real chore. So, I'm trying out a more 'traditional' approach to the patterns and shading of the webcomic. How is it looking so far?

My question-- does this thumbnail look interesting enough for a comic series?

[Doubtcent]

I'll say it sure does!!!

[ChiaAkiyama]

@radicles I agree with @vincentprendick. It looks really interesting and detailed.

How are these drawings? These do not have anti-aliasing... Does that irk anyone?

[Frogsnack]

I think if you layer them both- the cell shaded over the top as depth you'll the more serious, somber tone that you may be looking for. However you could easily grab one penal from the sepia tone on the left to make one part more impactful- that way you could choose which panel to highlight as the main idea of the moment in this scene.
Both work individually, but you would also combine them for depth. I kind of just like the sepia tone too, but I think that's because the way you shaded adds realism to the story.

[Frogsnack]

Doesn't Irk me, but I'd say unless the title include that style as a feature (like '8 Bit Stories' or something) people may misunderstand that it's chosen on purpose, and not resized incorrectly.

Her off-focus and intense expression makes me want to see what she's seeing- this could be used as part of a title page, even.
