The Black Belt Society is a lighthearted action-adventure comic about three teenagers tasked with finding a goddess but before they can to that, they need to go through a few trials.

This is such good idea. Just in any one come across a potential reader in person, it's always good to have a blurb like this in the back of your mind.

I just tell people it's a fantasy and they're typically satisfied with that answer. If they ask for more, I tell them it's about a girl that can use magic, and that I can tell them the title/give them the link, and by then, they realize I don't want to give a long explination and either ask for the link/etc, or say 'cool' and get on with their lives lol

Here are some alternative for your description of Black Scroll.
"Two young adventurers that tries to survive in a unpredictable funny epic fantasy world.
They are a student of arcane lore, and a fighter with a mysterious past. Together they hunt down Dark Artifacts for the Academy of Dindial Studies."

Here are some of the ways that had tried to describe my Blue Life, but I cant figure out what it is?

"A mildly episodic and simplistic comic about a blue, anthropomorphic geometric mass. It's nice to read for those who are into simple comics they can binge just for the hell of it. A refreshing step away from office or work life for a second."

"So what is this? This is a very simple minimalist and ”easy-made” stick/box figure comic about joy, happiness and being Blue."

"I like to think that Blue Life is an open universe where everything is or isn’t a coincidence or parallel to reality depending on the reader."

"A fun fourth wall breaking and mending comic that has fun with itself and newer take itself too serious except when it does"

"Blue Life is a unique and cute webcomic that is hard to explain but always feels familiar."

"Mt Draco is a romcom about a dragon who hires a vagabond to be his maid"

The thing about elevator pitches is going to the bare, BARE minimum. Don't even bother with character names, just your gimmick and genre.

Here's the one for Splitting Image: A story about atonement in a magic kingdom, where an ex-villain tries to prove his potential for good. But not is all what it seems, and there are people who don't want him to change.

It's not the actual pitch I have written down (or exactly the one on the page) but it's the ideas that you need to keep on your head to present the comic as fast as you can, even if you forget how it goes and change the sentence around a dozen times. Speed and brevity is key, it's what it takes to get interest and talking about the whole story can come later.

I'm working in one right now, hope to have it finished/publish it in tapas by next year,
funnily enough first thing I did was an elevator pitch
" two small weak monsters leave their safe home to kill a behemoth"

still, don't have it done(in thumbnail phase) but I am almost ready to start sketching/inking the thing XP

At the convention I went to over the summer, I mainly pitched that the comic is a psychological thriller with cyberpunk elements about a questionable video game experiment being broadcast to the main character and that strange things are beginning to happen to all his electronic devices~ It seemed really successful, I sold out of issue one by the second day!

"An experimental video game broadcast received via chip implant is shut off, chip removed but a couple years later, college freshman Jason is picking back up on weird frequencies. His old high school friend is now in I.T. on campus. Missed connections?"

I think you could shorten it to
"Two young fantasy world adventurers, Amelia and Hegel, hunt down dark artifacts for the academy they attend"

My synopsis is already pretty short. When people ask I say
"Love Me, Deity is about a group of college students who realize they are reincarnated gods and start learn about their past."

"Three bois working out their emotional baggage in Magical Asia."

Yup, I'm legit happy with that description.

"High School student get's magical powers, and fights along side with a talking beaver with a Brooklyn accent."

People love talking animals.

These are the true stories of some of America's least known World War II veterans, the Women Airforce Service Pilots.

We will make you feel things with only robots. BECAUSE ALL HUMANS ARE DEAD!!

"A drama, comedy, slice of life about a boy marked to die and his mythological caretakers."

ooo - this is a fun idea.

the elevator pitch for my 'comic' (that's sort of not a comic but not not a comic either lmao) would be -

'illumiverses' is an illustrated (& now often animated!) anthology of poetry.

The elevator pitch I use for mine is:

Follow Empress Wu Zetian's treacherous journey from the hands of enemy Tufan soldiers back to the Forbidden City where she battles foes from within her own kingdom.

"A slightly twisted take on coming-of-age stories and the cliches therein."

I'll post ite here because i really need help with that topic.

"In a world where an manipulative organization rulez everything, a runaway princess, and her half alien sister, team up with a boy who is searchimg for a mysterious object to save his brother from a curse"

I'll not even try.
Elevator pitches are not for me.

I feel like there’s some confusion in this thread between elevator pitches and log lines!!!

The best example I could find for the distinction between the two is this:

Elevator pitch:
“ Granny is a horror movie. It’s about a serial killer who kills teenagers who violate the rules of etiquette.”

Logline:
“ Saddened by her mother’s death, a lonely teen must confront a woman claiming to be her grandmother, whose strict rules lead to a psychotic murder spree.”

I hope this helps

All-Star Squadron falls into an episode of The Outer Limits.

Superman, but he's like the main characters of the Outer Limits episodes Soldier and Behold, Eck!

A combination of Bizarro and Specter falls into pre-crisis Earth-2.

A confused white blood cell from a living universe causes trouble in an alternate WW2. He's opposed by a burned-out Dr. Strange who wants to destroy him and a golden-hearted man made of light that wants to understand him.

"You should not play baseball in lifts"- Winston Churchill

My comic's still real early in the story, so the whole plot necessarily hasn't been revealed yet. However,

a serious elevator pitch:

"Scarfs just can't seem to catch a break. As if things weren't bad enough already, now the fate of humanity rests in her hands- but here's the thing: she doesn't know if it's worth saving or not."

a non serious elevator pitch:

"A comic about good moms and bad moms, not moms and vodka aunts."

Me: Okay, here is my pitch. How about '50 Shades of Grey' but genderswapped.

Some Fictional Publisher: Ah yes people do like "50 Shades of Grey" but it already would be niche with a Female Domme...

Me: and the relationship slowly unraveled into being as toxic and unhealthy as critics of '50 Shades of Grey' think it should be.

Publisher: Wait so would this be a romance then or more of criminal tale-

Me: And the 'Grey' woman is actually the Head of a Mafia family and her paramour is a sidekick of the vigilante trying to take her down.

Publisher: Okay so this is sounding more like those Marvel comic things-

Me: Oh yeah and the 'grey' Character has super powers and her mafia family is based off of the seven sins-

Publisher: Okay scale it back now, I have no idea what niche you are trying to fit in here. Is it a romance? Thriller? Is it YA even though there is a '50 Shades' kink factor? What are you-

Me: And 'Grey' character is a Black Woman who was a child soldier and the 'Ana' character is basically a male Ana but with blue eyes and the 'crackhead mother' back story!

Publisher:...get out.

(That's how imagine it would go anyways...)

Combine the tried and true concept of the superhero with the whimsy of Saturday morning cartoons and Nintendo video games.

"Two dumb teenagers are on a road trip in 1 a 970's America, searching for the dark secrets to overcome in both of their hearts."
That's the best I got here on the forums for now. I really, really wish I was farther along, because GIMMICK happens soon and I would 100% include that in a pitch, but I can't just spew it out onto the forums. But, y'know, this is what I got now!

I know what an elevator pitch is, but in grad school they overused that idea so much that every time I hear it I just cringe. If in the situation I just say somethin like: "It's a scifi drama-adventure that some friends and I made up, and then I adapted it to a comic format. Here is the link if you want to check it out"

The main objective is to keep it short and to the point. For example, here's the one for my webcomic, Bethellium.

In a world where magic is almost extinct, there's still one hidden city where magic is being preserved. Follow the adventures of the five sorceresses that will see the Magic City of Bethellium become legend.

My elevator pitch for my short story collection is:

A short story collection that involves science fiction, fast-paced action scenes, and dystopic universes. First story revolves around zombies! XD Second story focuses on dancing assassins!

So to add on, the pitch for my first story is:

Trust no one. Not the living, and certainly not the dead.

Not released, but: Six adventurers travel down into a deep pit under a suspicious house wherein they must face tempting illusions, elusive beasts, and each other.

That is like, my worst nightmare lol. It was hard enough just writing a description for my actual comic, since there is so much going on. When people ask what it's about, I usually just say:
"A reaper, like the grim reaper, instead he's small and fuzzy and cute, and he saves children. And one day, he unexpectedly becomes the legal guardian of a very innocent human girl after saving her."

But that honestly doesn't scratch the surface, because there's a bigger story at play about the turf wars of a psychically-gifted queen and the young cannibalistic princess who's father she murdered. About a secret organized crime group who knows how to universe-hop and steals and uses the blood of humans in order to do it. A reptillian beast who uses everyone like a puppet so that he can play God.

There's waaaaay too much sh​t going on to pitch in a sentence or two lmao.

In the 21st Century, the crumbling United States is taken over by The French and Japanese. In this Hafestran-American country, a new family of state executioners reigns supreme.

However Hemato doesn't want the job. But her girlfriend is a parricidal murderess.

"Short story parodies of your typical romance tropes."

Aaaand, that's pretty much it
