My number one tip is this: make a plan. A big difference between writing a novel and making a comic is that novels are fairly easy to edit. Multiple drafts, inserting or deleting scenes or whole chapters are standard practice when writing a novel. Not so with comics. Making comics takes such a tre…

Promotion Thread! I promise I'll at least look

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my comic, and for your feedback. I can see making this thread has already proven worthwhile.

Promotion Thread! I promise I'll at least look

Yes, you get it. I'm glad you understand why I can't promise anything more than taking a look. I feel like comments and subscriptions should be from genuine interest, or they're not satisfying.

Odd sources of comic inspiration?

Judging by those references, it sounds like your work is some kind of underground martial arts tournament series. My comic is a portal fantasy/isekai series, so I suppose I could say I am inspired by the likes of Magic the Gathering and Planescape, and other fantasy series that feature travel betw…

Greetings, esteemed colleagues. I, like all of you, am here to promote my web comic. To that end, I invite you all to post your comics below. If you would be so kind as to look at my comic, I promise I'll at least look at yours. You know, until I get tired of it. Likes, comments, and subscriptions…

Managing Life and a Comic

Questions

Sometimes you have to make sacrifices. I was listening to a podcast once, where someone recounted a speech given to them by their high school soccer coach. "You can only be good at two things at once. Three, tops," said the coach. "You're all students, so school has to be one of them. And if you …

What's your mandatory high-school literature in your country?

The Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, East of Eden, Old Man and the Sea, The Sound and the Fury, Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, and several Shakespeare plays. The usual suspects, really. If I were a diabolical supervillain trying to come up with a way to make children hate reading, I don't think I c…

Is This How You People Live? Therapist goes to psychiatrist for the first time

she tells me "it's great you can still do art on your medication." This is factually incorrect, fam. Medication does not stifle your artistic impulse. It's a point I make to people constantly, because artists will go off their medication if it threatens their livelihood. I'd like to draw attention…

Promote someone ELSE'S comic/novel

I found this comic in a promotion thread not long ago. This comic rocks. It's like Jean Giraud meets Pendleton Ward. It's my favorite thing I've seen on this website so far.

If you were a powerful mage and ran out of magic in the middle of a combat, what would you do?

If I were in the middle of combat, I would simply NOT run out of mana. RIP to other mages, but I'm different. XD Seriously, though, if your magic is a limited resource, and you're practically useless without it, then this is a scenario you would go to great lengths to avoid, and devise contingenci…

What do you like to do to promote your comic?

Questions

The truth is, I don't LIKE promoting my comic at all. Compared to actually making the comic, promotion feels like a chore. My skillset does not lend itself well to marketing, given my general ineptitude with networking. In any case, your idea of posting concept art and such for previously released…

We have 120 subs on Webtoon!(+Gokce's Recommendations--Closed for new series)

Congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment. I myself have quite a ways to go. I would appreciate it if you would look at my comic, a portal fantasy/isekai story titled, "Nyctoplasm." The fourth episode just went up a few minutes ago. Thank you.

Would you read a comic/ story with an ideology vastly different to your own?

Questions

Probably not. I'm an atheist and a skeptic. Obviously, the idea of a comic promoting or celebrating Islam does not interest me. That said, that doesn't necessarily preclude the work of authors with vastly different views. I'm a big fan of "The Golden Age" trilogy of science fiction novels by John …

Plotter or Panster? Which are you?

Writing | Novels

Plotter, all day long. As an engineer, I cannot fathom starting a project without a clear roadmap and end goal in mind. "Failure to plan is planning to fail," is my motto.

Why do you like writing?

Writing | Novels

As Toni Morrison once said, "If there's a book you want to read, but it doesn't exist, you must be the one to write it." These days, it seems there are a LOT of books I want to read that don't exist.

Kind of a question everyone wants to know, how do i get my comic noticed

Are you SURE you want to do this as a job? People always say to "follow your passion." But I say, passion is great, but you can't eat it. If you love making art, chances are you will like it a lot less when you have to do it 12 hours a day, 365 days a year, with the constant threat of starvation han…
