I'm a noob at forums.
I like eating.
I make a comic called Knights which I often take forever to update because I'm busy eating.

Digital but... sepia? [image] Show some love on Twitter :slight_smile:

For #inktober... kinda [image]

Digital but I went for a sepia monotone ink and wash look. [image] Show some love on Twitter :slight_smile:

If you have Clipstudio paint, one thing you could try is just painting your values and then calculating them as screen tones automatically. Here's a quick test I did using a picture of a print by Hasui Kawase: [image] When working with screen tones you also have to keep in mind moire patterns …

I have an art tumblr but I've come to realize my theme isn't optimized for pictures - some of them are blurry... But I had too much fun playing with the "load more posts" button that I don't want to change it =P

How about a Tiger-Robot-Wizard-Shark blazing through the atmosphere. Or a motorcycle.

When you lose your first subscriber: [image] When you're writing dialogue and you're trying to give each character their own voice so they don't all sound like you: [image] And when you post a thank you for subscribing to someone's wall when actually they only commented on and "liked" a chap…

@AnnaLandin Good lord you're like the kid who loves doing their homework. A++ thank you =] Enrique Fernandez's coloring is fracking gorgeous. @Menbung Just any artists you like that aren't from Japan. Its fine if they're influenced by Japanese art. I'm basically trying to expand my library…

My foray into the comic world was through manga, and I'm not too familiar with Western artists, be it of the American or Franco-Belgian tradition, except for a few popular indie comics. Obviously there are comic makers all over the world, so if you know of any artists beyond America and France/Belg…

I've been out of the tapastic/forum space for quite some time and I wanted to get back in the swing of things. Since we all know the struggle is real, I figure it would be fun to make a post where we express the pains of making comics in a funny, visual way. Yes, that probably means memes. Her…

Knights: Inconsistently drawn post-apocalyptic Final Fantasy knock off with the most uninspiring and frankly lazy title on the entire website. It's about stereotypical characters that have not really done anything except fight off a centipede. A giant centipede. Gross. How can they not have d…

Bit of a nerd so my podcasts tend toward non-fiction: History of the English Language If you're interested in why English seems pretty fucked up sometimes and you like linguistics and anthropology, this one is great. Can be a bit dull on the linguistics heavy bits unless you're a wonk (which I am…

Ive gotten 2 Huion tablets and I cant imagine wacom being any better. They havent broken down or given me driver problems and specs wise they were the same as Wacom at like half the price. My 610 (10" by 6") was 80 bucks. Its a chinese company, hence its cheaper, but people can be skeptical. I h…

I would say stick to your digital grayscale one because it looks fantastic. If you aren't used to coloring digitally, practice on the side and maybe have the occasional color spread for impact. When I started I went with color because I had some experience in digital coloring before but it still t…

You guys should definitely read Joseph Campbell. You don't have to agree with every aspect of what he's saying, but his breadth of knowledge is amazing if you'd like your appetite on different world mythologies. My comic probably does follow it to an extent but there is now one character that c…

Dunno which to go with for the next one, but I sure as hell am not doing President's day haha

Jonathan Pie is hilarious and very cogent; he reflects how I feel about this election as a whole: There are extreme ideologues on both sides. I originally thought of saying perhaps it would be better if the forums avoided talking politics, since people (on both sides) sometimes get triggered pr…

20 characters worth of "This."

This list reminds me of how much webcomic catching up I have to do. Neon Rabbit Suihira In Blood of Color @XIII Pretzel 2 Meet U Recently I read Space Boy which is a Line exclusive. And finally, shameless plug for my own comic: Knights [image]

Nice. This is like some Mr. Robot shit. Hacking the hackers. [image]

Give examples of SFX and action lettering that really stood out and looked awesome from any perspective: design, coloring, placement, ingenuity, etc. Let's share some inspiration =] [image]

[image] Q1: What is your name? Iman Faris Q2: When were you born? 17 years ago on the14th of Ramadan, 1900 A.H. [This is from the Islamic Hijri calendar. The year is probably not accurate, for reasons to be brought up later.] Q3: Who are your parents? My mother is A'isha Bint Malik and my fath…

@aran150 Same! I just finished mine tonight. Its really just one scene. Should I post it here?

Breaking panels is tons of fun! Sometimes having an image in the gutters (sans backgroind usually) has an interesting effect. I also have no plans of printing so sometimes I make use of the vertical scrolling in interesting ways when I can. Recently I've also put more consideration in compositio…

Did you say... brushes? For clip studio? [LAUGHS MANIACALLY] http://www.deviantart.com/morelikethis/370698568 http://www.deviantart.com/morelikethis/470631073 http://www.clipstudio.net/en/dl/materials/ I've tweaked some custom brushes myself (the brush engine is so awesome!). I may have to upl…

I haven't taken an art class since freshman year of high school like 8 years ago (damn I'm old). I just always liked art. My practice would come from doodling in my notebooks (instead of taking actual notes). It wasn't until I started this comic of mine that I formally started teaching myself thi…

Last bump everybody, otherwise it looks like its going to be 50s lifestyle art with 4 votes

That truly be some kawaii-ass shit. You pretty much summed it up better than I could haha. Love Glen Keane! [image] I put you down for both. Oy vey, this is getting confusing now and apparently you can only tag 10 people per post. Maybe I ought to properly set up a google poll thingy for n…

I'm giving this post a bump, since we're in the final stretch of October and since we need some tie breakers for next month.
