Good advice! I've never really been to a comic school and the few art classes I took were... so-so xD Gonna go and draw some character rooms, never know when they'll come in handy! I feel like a sponge atm, trying to learn as much as possible <3

Drop your comic, and I'll give you some hard critique

Ahhhh, thank you so much for the in depth critique<3 This was EXACTLY what I needed and I agree with you and your take is true, I kinda do rush things in order to get to the "good" stuff, haha Tbh, I never really thought about making rims and borders on the wall, that's a solid one! I think I'm go…

Drop your comic, and I'll give you some hard critique

Oh wow, this is a popular thread! If you ever get some time to read and bash mine, please do! I feel like I can't get any further or even get better any more, I feel like I'm kinda stuck? So a brutally honest critique would be absolutely swell!

Smoking as a character trait

I'd say as the others has: If you want your character to smoke, then inlcude it? If you want to say smoking is bad, you can have your oc's telling the smoker something negative about. And I'll agree, I'm a non-smoker myself, but gosh darnit, does it look good on film and photographs?? There's some…

How to restart a comic?

It sounds like the best option is to create a new comic (as in, uploading it to a new "comic"). Do as you've said, rename the old one to just... Old? You can also notify your followers through a post, or make a page where you explain the resons (if you want to) and link to the new comic. Edit: You m…

Ahhh, thank you so much for your kind review! <3 One of my main concerns has actually been the one with the flashbacks, the recent chapters don't have it (or as much as the earlier ones) so it's great to hear! Thank you once again <3

Anyone on Hiatus?

One of my comics are on a hiatus at the moment until I'm able to catch up. I didn't really have a life before, but apparently getting an SO, with a kid kinda made my days grow smaller and my time to draw comics went... Out the window, haha! Well, that and also playing DnD, having a table top game…

How to be creator with zero experience and zero skills

Or maybe start small? Have you read Scott McCloud's books on making comic? (they're awesome!) They give out great tips on what to think about when you're making comics and what makes it work. Then start making one page, make it small, like about someone... Maybe finding something? Or tripping? Jus…

Your Villain Won!

oooh, this is one interesting topic! I guess.... If the villain won in Heritage, I guess it'd be utter chaos. They'll think that they're doing it for the better good, getting rid of demons in their world, making sure humans doesn't destry their own world and others as well as making a life living he…

I've never gotten review for my comic Heritage, maybe you want to? There's a bit of a strong language, but not too much gore (well, one guy gets impaled but he survives, I try to keep it low, so that 13/16+ can read it). It might be too much for you tho, and in that case; Thank you so much for the…

Batches vs One Page at a Time

Kinda depends quite alot for me: Am I stressed? - One page/time. Not stressed? - BATCH STYLE WHOOOOOHOOO NO ONE CAN STOP ME *flies off * I prefer the batchstyle tho, making speachbubbles and dialogues are way easier and the dialogue doesn't come off at stiff and boring as it might do when I do one…

What the font is this?

Oh yeah, that one's so good! Tho... it'll never show up looking as good as I want it to xDD (but it might also be because I don't have the patience to make it y'know, look well enough dor me xD)

What the font is this?

Same here! I tried VTC Lettering Pro and it's the one that looks the most similar. (I happen to be mutual with the creator so I know it's a downloaded font as she doesn't have the time to customize it or anything as she's pretty busy xD) [image] [image] But I think it's also made in bold, to make…

What the font is this?

(read it as "Off Hand"-font, lol I'm tired xD) But yeah, it does look like a custom font, but I know the creator only downloads her fonts. (I would ask her, if it weren't that I'm scared of her xD) Yeah, it's very similar, but the kerning isn't quite the same (and Anime Ace is my go to all the…

What the font is this?

What kind of font is this? Asking for a friend (that is not me, totally not) [image] Link to the comic here. I've tried looking through image search and such but to no avail. I get nothing similar to the font so I thought I'd try to ask here, where I know people know this kind of awesome stuff<3

My rejection letter from a publisher (sharing my story, you can share yours too)

Send your novel to a lot of publishers! I mean, just don't send it to one, make it as many as you can in one go so that you can focus on doing other things instead of having to wait for four months. I sent my pitch to 3 publishers in one go, and right before a convention where I knew I could meet u…

I wonder if WildWords and Anime Ace are the same fonts? I had to re-create it in PS and I'm unable to see any differences, but maybe I can't see it, haha? [image]

Issue with comic sizing

I don't think the problem is that it's too wide, I think it might be too long? Have you tried editing the comic into smaller images, like 740x1000 maybe? It could solve the problem. (if it's not, then I honestly don't know what it might be, as I've never really encountered it before)

I got to order some boba tea today. SO my question for YOU is

I usually go for the tea-tea ones, which is Melon + melon boba or Strawberry and melonboba<3 (Sometimes I even go a little bit luxurious and ask for only bobas 8D) They don't sell it everywhere, almost always at conventions if you're lucky or in the bigger cities. I'd love to try out the coffe a…

I don't know what happened to my hand

An easy way to see if it's CTS (carpal Tunnel Syndrome) is to slap medium hard on the veins where the hand bends. If it tingles in your fingertips, chances are great that it's CTS. Many also experience a tingling sensation in the pinkie finger, before or after sleep and sometimes all the time. It …

Looking to get started on anatomy studies. Where should I begin?

I'd recommend Senshi-stock on deviantart and Croquis Café on Youtube! Also: Senshi stock doesn't have nudes so that's more of a sfw than Croquis café is, but I think they've labeled each video that is nsfw! They've got some pretty good poses for reference, and it's my go-to site whenever I feel o…

Can I review your comics?
