What you do best!

[nellie_warren]

Time to get to positivity in this chat.
As an artist or a writer or as both, what do you think you are the best at? Characterization, backgrounds, expressions, prose?
Personally, in terms of art, I think I can usually get a good likeness easily. And for writing, I'm usually proud of my dialogue and the emotional beats in my work.
Now it's your turn!

if I would have to guess it would be traditional inking. But that's more my wishful thinking than anything and that I truly love to ink with my pens X'D.

[Kelheor]

I'd say I'm not bad with lineart and emotions Not 100% there yet, but still the best of everything else.

[ivanskilling]

I personally love my plots and the message that I want to bring across in each story. And I hope my readers will like it too!

In terms of scenes, I think I'm best at writing action and emotional scenes!

[nathanKmcwilliams]

I've been told my art expresses emotions really well. As well as having dynamic physical motion. (I personally think it's a wee bit stiff, but other people seem to think differently so I won't argue xD)

But my own personal consideration of what my best would be, is how I do colors and effects. 99% of the time I'm pleased with how they turn out.

I think I am good at composing fight between characters. You can judge that in my comic book. I still have a long way to go but I like creating fighting scenes

In terms of art, I think I’m quite good at expressions and posing. While my weakness is getting it done in time.

My writing half is much better at coming up with the ideas and the world + characters. The problem is I suck at executing the ideas and putting them into action

[Chita]

@nathanKmcwilliams Agreed, your lightning effects are really awesome (and your dynamic shots are otherworldly despite of what you say XD)
@Kelheor They look really nice! Your lineart is super clean and the expressions feel very realistic. Also I quite enjoy your character design

[nathanKmcwilliams]

@Chita haha...thanks xD action shots are one of those things I judge way too harshly on myself. But it's always cool to hear otherwise ᕙ( ¤ ¤ )ᕗ yay!

[Chita]

I think I'm good at magic/special effects and lighting. Also I think (or at least I'd like to think XD) that I can carry the mood/expressivity of the scene nicely.

[nathanKmcwilliams]

@Chita that fire scene is definitely something else, so cool. Really pops right off the page.

[Kelheor]

I have so much catching up to do, but maaan, these are amazing, especially the fire

[puddle]

oh gosh I really enjoy writing banter dialogue and I LOVE planning out palettes for color-comics. When I get compliments on my colors or character interactions it overwhelms my heart!!

[aqua03]

i think that i like to do character design and comedic interactions pretty well. At least, that's what i've been told anyway.

[Chita]

@nathanKmcwilliams Thank you so much! That page is still one of my favorites so far!
@Kelheor Shade parkouring is definitely a sight to see XD. And thanks!

Not going to lie, I like how I draw butts.

Men, women, animals... all butts will be carefully drawn.

[BSmatic]

Get lost in the panel, overdo it, realize it has no consistency with he rest of the comic, post anyway, procrastinate.

[DokiDokiTsuna]

With comics, my greatest strength is clearly character design (I'd say 70% of all the art in my computer is just character designs):

And when it comes to writing, I'm best at doing interactions between characters. Humorous ones, dramatic ones, or anything in between; when it comes to just making people talk, I'm yer gal.

I'd guess if I had to generalize it, my strength is in the specifics of a story: the nuts and bolts, all the little things that come between point A and point B. How the characters look, talk, and move, and how that all comes together to achieve an overall effect; that's the kind of stuff I love to figure out. ^^

[Shanny8]

@C_o I like the butt. Lol

I'd say my strengths lie in page composition/layouts, and dynamic action scenes. I'd also say traditional inking, but the flip side is that sometimes that can get messy, or it takes too long to set up, or the inks/nibs arent exactly working right that particular day...but when the flow is good- it's good.

Def love my stories & plots. I like to try to set up swerves that nobody sees coming..!

[TAMAnnoying]

Honestly the only thing I’m every really proud of are my expressions, I think I nail the vibe and feelings of a scene pretty good.
