Hi! I'm currently developing a superhero OC called Hugo. He was "bitten" by a strange butterfly that gave him superpowers. I already know he has antennae that give him heightened senses, and his suit will allow him to fly, but I've been kinda stuck on what other "main" powers to give him. I was thin…
Anyone who has or is interested in making characters can join! 
My friend and I created a Discord server specifically for sharing and creating original characters! A huge part of comic making is of course the characters, so I thought I'd share here in case you're interested in joining. We have a lot of channels specific to sharing information, writing and art …
I've tried using normal document-applications like word and evernote but I just can't seem to figure out a system for planning using just that. I personally prefer having a good outline first and then figuring out the details, but I don't like not being able to move the details and scenes around for…
I've been trying to write my story for a while but I'm really in need of some good way to plan! How do you usually plan out your plot and does anyone have any recommendations regarding sites or applications that are good for it?
@Zaboem Oo that's an interesting trope yeah, not sure if it fits with what I'm going for but it would be interesting! @VermiciousKnid Hahaha I remember that story yeah, thanks for the ideas! @DiegoPalacios Ooo yes that is a great explanation! Thank you!
Here's an interesting comment I got on Reddit! I think you've got something going with the 30 year freeze. Already, what we know about the aliens is that: They are catch-&-release. They could easily have just done whatever it is they do and then discarded a dead teen, but they went out of their…
This is so awesome of you, your style is very cute! Here's my OC's Finn and Jonathan, you can choose either of them or do both, whatever you're up to!

Thank you so much for the recommendations! I've seen one of Buzzfeed Unsolved's videos on abductions iirc, it was very interesting. I think I'm missing out on some episodes though, so links would be helpful yeah
I just looked up the trailer for People of Earth and it seems awesome, I'll definitel…
That's interesting! I actually just got the idea that maybe the humans have the ability to use magic but the aliens don't, and the aliens are testing on them to try to figure out how they can use magic too to become more powerful.
I'm still in the writing process of my comic but here's how my characters Finn and Jonathan have changed over the past year! [image] [image]

I'm very interested in conspiracy theories, alien abductions, area 51 etc. I've had the idea for a comic for a while in which a teen from the 80's gets abducted and tested on by aliens, cryofrozen inbetween testing, and when they're done with him they drop him back on Earth, where the boy realizes…
Oee thanks for all of that, it's very helpful!! I love how you use emoticons when writing dialogue to show it's emotion!
Thanks for the advice! Yeah I was just looking up what other people do for reference and that's what I saw the most in professional comics haha, I was curious to what people in the webcomic community do! n.n
Looks awesome, thanks for the example! I'll definitely try it out and see if it works for me
So write the dialogue and also describe what's happening? 
I'm currently super close to starting to draw my first ever story comic. Right now I've written out my main plot points that I want to work towards, and started roughly planning out the first chapter in a "timeline". But now I'm kinda stuck. In the comic industry, I think the next "step" would be …
Of course! I'm not completely sure yet but if i use it, would a thank you in the first update's description be okay? If you have a comic I'll give it a shoutout too if you'd like!
I have yeah! I'm talking about "title fonts" here, like what's on the cover and stuff. Thanks though!
Thanks for the advice! I'll look around there, I need a very specific kind of font for the cover though but I'll see.
Hi! I'm looking up fonts to use for my comic right now and I wanted to ask if it's okay to use non-commercial fonts in a tapastic comic with ad revenue/tipping turned on. I also aspire to print my comic someday, but could I just buy the rights to the font then?
I love Hextraterrestrial! Only doubt I have about it is that it's very long and letter-y, would that be a problem you think?
Thanks for all the ideas!!
I just thought of "Retrohybrid" but idk if it's a bit too.. meh? What are your thoughts?
I've never heard of that conspiracy, it's very interesting! I think 411 people is too much for the amount of people being abducted though, I was thinking somewhere below 50 people myself. I don't want the witch society to be that massive haha. Thank you though, I'll definitely look into it for inspi…
Oh and it would definitely be interesting for the witches not to believe Finn at first! Maybe Olive does believe him after a little while, and I've had this vague idea of them going to the witches hideout for something (Help? Maybe they need something from there? Idk). It'd be cool to have this conf…
Thank you! That's actually the idea I had too, as these abductions happened all over history. I think humans would definitely call it witchery and not eveb think about any alien origins. Maybe they erased the previous test subjects memories so they won't tell people it's actually alien and just le…
I'm almost starting to draw the comic I've been developing for a while, but I'm really stuck on it's title! I could really use some ideas, so I thought maybe you guys could help. The main plot of the comic is: Finn Hawkins is 18 years old when he gets abducted by aliens in the year 1989. At the s…
That's true, thank you for the advice!
Yeah I wasn't planning on leaving the gap for too long, I think a month at max? Thanks!
