Been mostly following this on the forums this time, but I'll add my entry to the pile: Didn't really bother with the cover or banner bc it's a scene that takes place further into my main comic bitwam, but I'm quite pleased with finally writing one of those "board game analogy episodes" that I i…

My idea is about the main character worrying about missing the last train leaving for the night and being unable to get back and sleep. I'll probably only show a train for like 2 panels when he actually gets to the station; the majority of the comic is totally trainless :stuck_out_tongue:

See, I'm worried about my particular situation because the characters already know each other before the collapsing incident; it's one thing if it's how they met (and thus the reason why Character A or Character B joined the main cast to begin with), but given A's preexisting set of relationship…

Didn't finish my goals, so time to do a penalty drawing [:sweat_02:] Also, I intend to take a break from my usual communities for a while, so from now, I hereby absolve myself of all the accountabilities currently active in this thread. I'll probably make a new thread when I come back, unless t…

Maybe the reader probably wouldn't refuse to suspend their disbelief if you use it very sparingly? But I still feel weird doing it if it's a very unlikely coincidence (e.g. a character collapses in a quiet street, the first person to notice happens to be another member of the main cast) Maybe fr…

Do you have a longer stretch of dialogue involving the character? obvs swearing literally every sentence is unrealistic, but it's hard to gauge if she 'swears too much' through isolated lines from different contexts [:sweat_02:]

I guess I get interrupted by thoughts, but it's usually something like the show gave me an idea/reminded me of something I've been meaning to do/I have a sudden opinion on what I just watched or the show suddenly reminded me of an opinion I have about something else :stuck_out_tongue: I'd pause, jot down whatever…

I mean, it depends on both (e.g. the flying example), but I do generally have more forgiveness for minor lapses in situational logic, if that's what you mean [:sweat_02:] Like for instance, in the Trails series, characters say "hell" all the time despite the equivalent of Hell in that world bein…

prove that total saturated anabicats closed under taking products Summary Let\ - $\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B}: S \rightarrow \text{Set}$ be total sanabicats. Then $\mathcal{A} \times \mathcal{B}$ is a total sanabicat. (proof)(sketch)\ Let $(A,B) \in (\mathcal{A} \times \mathcal{B})(C_0)$.\ - As $\…

What about useful lies? I guess I'll hide it under a thing just in case ... Summary I've got somewhere to be

Basically, logic is how things connect to one another in a consistent way; it doesn't actually make much sense to say something is logical or illogical in isolation [:sweat_02:] For instance, we might be tempted to say it's irrational to go out into the cold without a coat, but only if our goal is…

I don't do dedicated training; I only have so long to live, so I want my activities to serve multiple purposes whenever possible (e.g. I can't do something just to improve my skills, it has to be for improvement AND fun, or improvement AND making progress on a project I care about and think is impor…

It's kind of cool how our usernames for our characters kind of correlate with the usernames we use ourselves :smiley: (at least I assume @BLTX the BL in your username stands for Brandon Luke, and @allisoncandraw your name is Allison XD) (Then again, @NickRowler and @willmarstudios, you two seem to have …

Absolutely :stuck_out_tongue: This is why I don't write novels or stage directions in scripts (instead getting positions sorted out when thumbnailing) XD

For me, it's more like flawed character logic intrinsically undermines the emotional highs; in order for me to feel strongly for someone in a scene, I need to know the context and said context needs to make sense. I need to be reasonably convinced the characters are real people. I literally can'…

I'm happi you like :sob: :heart: [:coffee_love:] And yes, LaTeX :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, I think a pure pantser can't truly write themself into a corner, because they have no predetermined destination in mind. Like who cares if their characters have lost their stuff, their money, they're wearing stolen clothes, one of them has a broken leg and holes in his skin, etc etc? Just ex…

The other approach to working on a different project in the same medium is working on the same project in a different medium :stuck_out_tongue: I went and learnt about composing and made a few songs for my comic; and now I'm humming them in my head and everything which is a great way to stay hyped :smiley:

Saku [image] Would probably pull over; he's pretty optimistic, believing it's very unlikely to be an axe murderer and there's a higher chance it's a lesser threat he can escape from in one piece. He isn't doing it out of altruism though, mainly curiosity Dolly [image] Pulls over; lowkey wants to b…

I largely still agree with this:

I straight up skip a step or two most artists have in their process (lineart, clean colouring/shading) :stuck_out_tongue: Huh, that helps? :0 Maybe I could try linearting again at some point ...

Yes, I see where the hair has changed, though I had to look for it :stuck_out_tongue: My thoughts are it doesn't matter, because I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't looking for it [:sweat_02:] You can draw her both ways in the same comic and I would call it consistent :stuck_out_tongue:

I work basically the same way, but for me it's less about 'keeping things spontaneous' but rather 'I will never get around to the drawing if I felt like I had to finalize my script before starting work on the visuals' [:sweat_02:] Plus, having some stuff drawn 'reifies' it and makes it feel more l…

If your characters being online is part of the story, what do they canonically go by on the web? If not, what usernames would your characters choose if they were in the modern, internet-using world? :stuck_out_tongue: I've only come up with usernames for 3 of my characters; they haven't shown up yet, but they wil…

Personally, I'm optimistic. I see the disruption AI is bringing about as a good thing; our society is built upon some really bullshit norms for the purpose of instrumentalizing and controlling the population, and AI is making those things unsustainable. For instance, ChatGPT is probably gonna kill…

Magic as a character's unique ability is always going to look like superpowers imo :stuck_out_tongue: Ways to make magic feel less superpowery include: having a reasonably large group of other people who can use/develop the exact same magical ability making the magical ability something you need to spend decades…

I remember Liv! Here you go :smiley: [image] I am flattered you liked my style enough to come out of lurking for this, but also it was like 'the pressure is on' XD I hope I did her justice ^_^ My 3 questions and answers for this week: what does a non-cofibrant bicat look like? can't identify 1-c…
