3D CG animation is not bad, nor inferior to 2D animation. In fact, post-spiderverse 3D animation is fucking amazing!

If you have really dark skinned characters, how do you keep their features from being washed out

Dude, not all black people have the same skin color. @Leyelle Is obviously trying to depict people who have darker skin, maybe even more so than her own. like Sanegalese [image] Or South Sudanese [image]

If you have really dark skinned characters, how do you keep their features from being washed out

[image] like i havent got the spoons to pull up the people i follow but i feel like we're playing in the faces of actual dark skinned folks to say you cant have tones of a certain shade even in simple styles because the same lighting, shade, color excuses being made to ligh…

If you have really dark skinned characters, how do you keep their features from being washed out

I disagree with lightening her skin as a stylistic trade off. It's common for black people to not be captured well in photos, but that's an issue with the photographer's skills, not the subject. In that sense, you should consider how you render. Since you're working with a tone that's deeper, you…

Lol. As someone who has six doctors in their immediate family, I don’t know whether to be offended or just say, “Yeah, that’s accurate.” Like, my most social butterfly brother of all times, who I thought, “He’ll go into obgyn or pediatrics or something where you interact with lots of patients, an…

Ooh my god! Thank you so much for this info, it's nice to see a name for the treatment and what you would do, I knew it would be a specific type but I didn't know how to find what it would be called. I always just see "chemo", and it doesn't help that most fiction tackling the subject are so vague …

Hmmmm.... well, everyone's pain tolerance is different, but I think it is reasonable to be able to walk on a fractured tibia (with crutches to avoid further injury is exactly right). Lots of people won't want to, but you can. I've walked on a broken bone before and was fine, but I think(?) I have …

Pretty sure I've covered this in the thread.... hang on... oh wow, I guess I haven't. That surprises me. Ok. Let's talk Care of Unconscious/Immobile Patients: ABCs: Airway, breathing, and circulation are huge priorities in the care of unconscious patients. Almost universally, patients who are …

Phew, ok, so comas don't typically happen with head injuries or being beaten or stabbed. I've talked about this before in this thread (somewhere?), but lose of consciousness is either a sign of an acute illness (infectious, liver failure, some rare autoimmune stuff) or increased intercranial press…

As long as the fractures to the ribs and fingers are all simple (meaning they don't puncture the skin or any internal organs) they will both heal on their own without any intervention within 6 weeks. They can definitely fight after that, no problems. You can brace the fingers, but it's not really …

Chickenpox For the most part your description of chickenpox is spot on. It is a highly contagious viral infection with a rash characterized by itchy, blistering red spots. It does usually resolve within 2 weeks if not sooner. A few points: Isolation can be as simple as wearing gloves, gown, and m…

Hey authors! I’m back to talk about more medical tropes that bother me, because it’s about the only thing that ever does and I can. This time I’m giving you three tips for how to write realistic hospital scenes. Hospitals don’t have a smell. At least we try really hard not to. We use odorless …

Critiques for Soul Might please

I accidentally hit 'ctrl+enter' instead of just 'enter' when trying to do a line break in my first post, so I'm just gonna continue in a second one. [image] a lot of little things in your presentation are really bugging me. These wobbles I've circled in read stand out like sore thumbs, especiall…

Critiques for Soul Might please

okay, first thing that struck me was the neon color palette you have for that cover. I absolutely love the bright green and pink being used there, and think those would make for awesome accent colors throughout the whole series to bring some cohesion to it. Definitely punch those up and don't be afr…

Critiques for Soul Might please

All right... I'll try my best to be helpful and not throw you into the abyss of pizza despair... (that said, I'd have the pizza anyway, pizza is always good). My immediate impression of this is "well drawn, but the presentation needs some love." Luckily that's a lot easier to fix than drawing! So …

Drop your comic and I'll give you some harsh critique, part 2

Okay, first and foremost, your lettering needs work. A lot of work. [image] Point 1: rounded text bubbles and centered text. You absolutely need to center your text and encapsulate them with a simple, straightforward shape. Making your bubbles into these blocky shapes to wrap tightly around your…

Okay so I did this a while back, and then there were SO DAMN MANY posts and I fell off on responding to them and I figured rather than reviving the ancient thread with months-old posts, let's make a new one and start fresh. Here's the original if you wanna go look at the criticisms I gave there. …

Don't read superhero comics? Give me reasons why. And what you think needs improvement

I'm tired of stereotypes and superhero comics are packed with them (not that other genres aren't, but other genres off-topic for your question ). In no particular order what annoys me: Lack of reality and consistency in every freaking superhero comic. People/beings can have superpowers, that's…

Do you make page comics or scroll comics- why?

Questions

For me, I make page comics that I later format into scroll format (pain) Why I do it: I'd like to have my comic printed some day! I'd prefer to have it all in the page format so that I don't need to reformat it for later. I enjoy creating compositions for the page that look cool (I'm a sucker f…
