Dealing with old art in a long project

It's a good question, and one I think about from time to time. I wouldn't ever go back and redraw my story, but when I started converting pages for mobile format, I used it as an opportunity to fix glaring mistakes. Eyes too far apart, weird proportional issues, things like that. That said, I thin…

Anyone else try this out? I grabbed a doodle by @memo113 on Twitter (love her art) and gave it a go; it was a fun couple of wasted hours. Anyway, post up some side-by-sides if you have them: [image]

Present Your Latest Page… MAY 2018

After I drew this page, I realized that having the kids have my own particular iteration of iPhone was a bit outdated, as I'm fairly certain it's older than both characters. [image]

What job do you work at other than create comics?

Art teacher! Kindergarten through 8th grade, to be exact. It great work, though it took me time to get over my introversion, which is simply impossible for an elementary school teacher.

First Chaper / Prologue Worries!

Actually, a simple formatting change would fix a lot of potential confusion; generally when a character is reading something, and we get to read what they are reading, it has a different font and indent, to show that it's a separate piece of writing. Not sure what the limitations are with the Tapas …

The last thing I made that was kind-of a cover; really more of a chapter header, but honestly there aren't any literal "covers" in webcomics, right? [image]

What aspects of my art can be improved?

My suggestion would be to work on your compositions. I made a few suggestions here: [image] [image] In the upper panels, I completed the alternating high/low text and subject, because that serpentine path is good for variety. For the main subject, I pushed the near far by making the foreground…

Thinking of converting to mobile format

Just uploaded three pages in mobile format and had a read-through, and it pretty much sealed the deal for me. Easy to do, easier to read; it's a win-win.

Thinking of converting to mobile format

Hi all, So, like many here, I started my current comic with print in mind, because I'm old and that's my default. And I want to keep the print option, because I like buying collected editions of my favorite webcomics, and want to be able to offer that at some point. All that said, it has dawned …

Script, Plot, or Characters

This may or may not be helpful, but: Characters, plot and script aren't actually separate things. A fictional character is literally just the sum total of what they say and do in the story, which is quite literally the plot and script. We separate them as a way to talk about the craft, but it's al…

Biggest inspirations for your work?

Definitely! I picked up some Zot back issues as soon as I read Understanding Comics; later on down the road, I bought the collected edition (which sadly I lost in a house fire, along with 33 years worth of books and comics). But yeah, loved it a ton. Zot actually had one of the earliest LGBTQ charac…

Biggest inspirations for your work?

Oh, I could gush for hours on this topic. I'll keep it reasonable, and focus on the specific inspirations for The Adventures of Echo Callaway: Hiyao Miyazaki Everyone knows who this is, I'm sure, but if not, treat yourself to the finest film-maker of my lifetime. Miyazaki's work was a revelation …
