It was like you said Oddly Vanilla into a mirror three times and compelled me to put our groups comic in this thread...
Opinions may vary, but we got short story arcs that are the poster children for unconventional...
Our comic, hue are you, is not a typical post apocalyptic comic- for one the humans are all dead. Go take a peek!
I should have put really, really, really unconventional!
does post-technology high fantasy count? as in not urban fantasy since its not in our world, its a high fantasy universe that went through a tech/industrial boom. its about a crew of vampires going on an adventure to find a wish granting spire. also theres robots and at least one bird man that try to kill them on occasion.
It would not have counted, but then you threw in the bird man...
I definitely got an unconventional webcomic. Detox is a satirical Cyberpunk comic with Hispanic culture thrown into the mix. Most dystopians are dark and gritty. Ours got pop neon lights and dark humor.
I'd like to think mine is unconventional for tapas (art wise at least)? I like crude body horror, really stupid/crude humor and gross-out Ren and Stimpy-esque close ups. In terms of writing LMAO, oh crap? I'm not gonna be getting a Pulitzer prize any time soon.
Mine is unconventional in style...I'm experimenting and having fun but it's definitely niche. Not an awful lot there yet but this is Part 1 (first 4 eps) and I'm really interested if anyone would like to offer any constructive criticism. Ghost in the Window
My comic's about a sentient lamp and her roommate troubles, is that unconventional enough?
I love Lamp! So original - I'm hooked.
Wow, I really like your art style - it's rare to see similar and gives off a nice almost autobiographical /memoir vibe. (My main critique would be it's a bit hard to read some of your text - making sure to have plenty of contrast between the text and the background and giving the speech bubbles more breathing room going forward will help improve legibility)
Thank you so much. I will re-do the text - that's very helpful!
Just finished my first issue and posted about a week ago. The story's called The Lone Shark and it's by far the most ambitiously obscure idea I've ever come up with. The idea literally came to me in a dream and I've spent the last few years developing and over developing the concept. I hope you enjoy it. More to come soon!
Not sure, what's the wattage?
(Not mine) I’m hooked on Chew and Swallow right now because it seems so far off from many BL tropes. Also it’s really dark, dramatic, and feels bold in what is discussed or what happens. That’s right up my alley. It is one of the premiums right now.
I can count on one hand the number of women I know of in the world who write this particular subgenre, and I'm a full one fifth - some slice of life, zero fiction, and like next to nothing I've seen here.
Ta-da! Military history!
I definitely count mine as unconventional and it is so for a few reasons:
Format. I stole it from Inspired by Homestuck.There's only one frame at the top and a bunch of text below. The frame is usually animated, it literally has more in common with cinematography than comics. And the text is basically a script for a play, sometimes with author's inserts.
Genre. Mostly it is a cross between fantasy (magic, pseudo medieval setting, dream mechanics, gods) and sci-fi (technology, science, dimensions, spaceship, clones), but also deals with complicated and heavy subjects, so there's drama too. And romance because relationships happen and unhappen. I decided I'm going to rotate the genre for this story here on Tapas depending on what stage we're in xD
Pacing. The story is told in the form of a very inconsistent journal. Because it is one. So, the narrator is extremely unreliable, and the writer is somehow secondary.
Art. I break my fingers every 20 or so pages and change the art style. This was such a problem in the beginning, but then I learned how to be consistent with colors at least throughout the scene.
I would say I'm doing something different. I haven't seen many webcomics dealing with darker fairytales or the faerie folklores and moxing it together. More spicificly the tales about changelings, and looking at the more psychological aspects of that kind of story.
... A Photo Album, for a country if portrayed as a young girl. All rise, for O' Canada.
