What's something you consider recognisable about your comic(s)?

Now's your chance to be positive-- what do you think is recognisable about your work?

Is it your art style, the character designs, your storytelling, layouts etc?

It looks like Oxygen Not included.

The premise, I guess - vampires in space are not something I've found many examples of. But to be honest, we're way too early in the process to be "recognizable"...

It's the ️artstyle️. I've gotten plenty of comments in reviews and stuff saying that it's "unique", "stands out", and "isn't something they've seen before." And while it's not as though I don't believe them, it's just something I've never really thought about. I like my artstyle for BBS; it’s easy to execute and quite charming, in my opinion.

I'm going to say the cartoony artstyle, and Loki's hobby of changing outfits every panel or so.

A lot of people told me my comic's characters' characteristic is really unique. And I'm really proud of it because I put a lot of work to design a character no matter they're main or side characters.

Definitely the art style!

For me that would be artstyle and characters at least according to my motivational folder with screenshots of people telling me nice things, and I kinda agree with them cx

While my artstyle itself is not really that unique, I haven't seen a lot of comics done in black & white, just using fineliners and without any added greys. It also creates a certain feeling- I've been told it looks magical or like a fairy tale, especially forest scenes.

As for characters, I've been told that they are different and fun. And while there are a lot of fun characters out there, I can agree that mine have that certain recognisable vibe.

For me, it's the twist in the slapstick comedy. You just never know what's going to happen next!

I believe it's two Factors one is the Artstyle but mostly the character in how manipulating and devoted they are. Either to each other or to achieving their goals. Which is what this story is about
so if you like what you see give my comic a read

Different people consider my style to be different and distinctive!

kaykitsune 2022-06-08 07:32:03 UTC #13

I guess with the premise of my story, with it being based in a hospital with the mix of supernatural elements. Also with it being a manga instead of a normal comic it’s alittle different too

A lot of my readers have told me my style and use of color are distinguishable, same with use of medium (Color pencils.), some have said I draw characters kinda ugly. Which, yeah, I can see that. Other than that I don't really know, I guess the fact that my two MCs aren't the best people, and everyone is a mess in their own way, so you don't really have anyone to root for 100%.

ScaryTerry 2022-06-08 23:52:05 UTC #15

My comic is drawn in a traditional style, which makes it recognizable. I would say the face, hands, and eyes are the most similar part of my characters.

Bluelaserbeam 2022-06-09 00:54:39 UTC #16

I've been told by different people that the quality of my comic's art is very clean, which I feel the opposite since I prioritize faster chapter uploads over quality ̶e̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶s̶i̶d̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶a̶r̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶d̶e̶s̶i̶g̶n̶s̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶i̶n̶c̶o̶n̶s̶i̶s̶t̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶f̶l̶u̶i̶d̶.

As for how I personally perceive my comic's recognizability, I can't think of other works that's a blend of both Dragon Ball and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in terms of art style and writing, as those two media are my work's main inspiration. There's also the fact that my comic's written to be a battle shonen, but the main "fanservice" present is big buff, manly anthros instead of sexy women lol.

The paneling?
I use a mix of page by page, and scrolling, because I had no idea what I was doing in the first place, and ended up with this. Some people has called it 'unique' -and I choose to think that it is a good thing.
I mostly did this inspired by 'Fools' manwha, anyway.
Some other things that have been called by others are the good pace of the script, the mix of colors (in the rare ocassions I use them), and the wardrobe of characters (when they are not in school uniform, that is)

Stick figures and the BAY-BEEEEEE!
Also the vast array of different artstyles.

How will he be able to rebuild his harem in a world where where anime tropes (and faces) don't exist??? Find out in That Stick Figure Isekai!!! Episodes every Friday!

Hmmm... how do I put this...

I think the defining feature of my work is absurdity that comes from things that are outrageously fantastical and things that are totally banal or mundane being put together, and characters will often treat the fantastical as mundane and the mundane as fantastical.
Characters will be deadpan about swarms of luminous ghosts in one scene, and intensely passionate about eating a pie in another. They'll write a tweet complaining about the monster on their road, or start bickering in the middle of a fight against a building-sized demon that wants to tear a hole in reality.

My comics are bold, lurid and with these big, overblown action scenes. Oversized anime swords, magical explosions, massive ridiculous looking monsters... but then it's combined with a very Northern English temperament of understatement, dry humour and not taking anything too seriously, which kind of tempers the melodrama shounen often leans into and leads to quite a distinctive tone.

Visually, my work is all about clarity. I use pretty simple panelling for the most part, because I'd rather somebody get lost in the story than get distracted by me trying to show off how awesome and clever I am or whatever. My pages aren't sexy, because I only focus on making a panel beautiful if the intended message is "everyone is in awe of the beauty of this thing/character", but they're very easy to read. This would probably make my work pretty boring to read if I made a Slice of Life or Romance, but works pretty well when I'm drawing these fantastical scenes and big action. Again... the mundane meets the fantastical!
