Manga! let's chat about Manga!

What's your favorite manga and why? Right now, it's probably One Piece or My Hero Academia. The "friendship, effort, victory" Shonen Jump formula is tried and true. Neon Genesis Evangelion has always been an inspiration too, though that started as an anime before it became a manga. What's your fav…

Back to webcomics hosting themselves (thoughts on the “mature” iOS restrictions)

This sounds like the internet in the late 1990s before Google became mainstream. Everyone had their own site on Geocities and Lycos, and they were grouped by hobby. Most content wasn't slick, but it was charming.

When is too late for an update?

I took a month off after I released enough content for two comic books. After a couple of conventions and some new character designs, I'm starting back up and will have new updates in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping fans will be kind.

Post your drawings for #inktober2019

Inktober Day #1: Meet the Compassionate Vulture, a “caring” carrion eater who consumes the weak and dying just a bit early. But does she do it out of mercy, or hunger? (This will eventually be a generic baddie in the “Milhamah: Fighting Words” series. New updates are underway!) [image]

Is DeviantArt making a comeback?

Good thread. I heard people on Twitter discussing DeviantArt, and while I have an account that's about a year old, it never appealed to me. These days I only post links to my main website on Twitter. My goal over the next few months is to build a discussion forum on my Wordpress site, invite some …

Looking to praise some comics!

The linguistic parts of speech become warriors who weaponize ancient alphabets to fight a brainwashing Tower of Babel in the action-fantasy series "Milhamah: Fighting Words."

Can't get the courage to promote my comic in social media

A couple of weeks ago I posted a Facebook ad for my comic. A random person commented and said I suck and should feel bad about myself. I got over it... in 10 seconds. Make no mistake: Being a public artist requires courage, chutzpah and a thick skin. Fandom can be fandom, and that means loving pa…

Do you physically wreck your characters?

My main character, Shem 'Etzem, became more of a punching bag than originally planned. He breaks lots of bones, but since his root power involves bone needles and ossification, he can regrow them quickly.

Cartoon style vs Semi-realism

That's what keeps me doing my cel-shaded vector style, even though it's often more time-consuming than a freer, hand-drawn style. It's fairly unique, expressive and what I originally envisioned.

Replying to Story Based Comments?

I sometimes will drop worldbuilding details when talking to fans. But when it comes to plot spoilers, it basically comes down to saying, "We'll see..."

Creating Dynamic Poses

Get a good phone app like Easy Poser or Pose Tool 3D to help you make dynamic, foreshortened poses. I think some Clip Studio Paint versions have posing tools too, though I haven't used that feature. There are also good resources on Instagram and Pinterest for common anime and comic poses. Lastly, …

Is drawing fanart the only way to become a popular artist?

I can't bring myself to do fan art unless the original creators pay me to put a fresh spin on their characters. My stories keep me busy enough; if I can't ethically profit off of my work, it's not a priority. My strategy is to diversify and work on at least two IP franchises using different media,…

What is your comic really?

Mine is fantasy action-adventure with linguistic themes. The world's magic substitute is an exaggerated version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that uses Semitic languages and Jewish alphabet lore.

Any free software for creating animatics?

I'm looking for something simple for animatics too. I have an old version of Adobe After Effects that I plan to revisit this week, but I'm wondering if that's overkill.

How much do you draw a day?

I try to get at least one hour of digital art done per day, six days per week. On a free day I often get at least three to five hours done.

Can't please webtoons

What was your first Video Game and/or Console?

The Intellivision was my first console. Pac-Man, BurgerTime, Pinball and a penguin game called Thin Ice were some of my first favorite games. Of course, soon after I got into Nintendo, Mario, etc. The SNES is still my favorite system of all time.

How many panels is considered enough for Webtoons?

I try to do six to 10 nowadays, but my panels involve lots of filtering and detail. I could either stretch that number out by doing more talking head close-ups or by taking more time to do episodes. But as a part-time thing, you can only do so much.
