Most plots die because the writer did not put as much time into learning their craft as the artist did in learning theirs. It's a skill. It requires practice and knowledge. Eagle (All of those wonderful plots, dead before their time)
Since every comic that NO-Earth produces is destined for print (our first three are out already), mobile is such a small piece of our market that it would be counterproductive to spend the time and money needed to create a version just for mobile. Eagle (and it's confusing enough having to keep …
The site is undergoing an overhaul. As any site, it has constantly evolved in the last 2 1/2 years, but the font is not something people usually mention, since it's a standard comic font designed to be easily read by a wide range of people, as well as being used in comic books on a regular basis. …
NO-Earth Comics is a small press Indie comic publisher. We are a CO-OP working in a shared universe with 3 comics published, 4 more in production, 6 more in scripting stage, and another dozen in pitch stage. We pay weekly. Very weakly. Seriously, this is at the start to get this out of the wa…
Um....You just described pretty much the whole NO-Earth universe. Too many comics to spam your thread with, but all of the comics in my profile hit multiple checkboxes on your list. Eagle (By design)
BEFORE I read the rest of the thread, I wanted to say that this was a good way of putting your views into a comic. It made a point, without calling out anyone specific, and both sides can read the other side in it. It might also cause someone to think, if they happen to see a bit of themselves in …
There's a Con in Dallas this coming weekend at Fair Park! NO-Earth Comics is going to be there, and I was just wondering how many others from here are going? Eagle (It's been a while!)
Ok, let's break down a few things here. First, the vast majority of of webcomics are amateur affairs. I see a small number of artists that need to move to the pros, and even fewer writers. Most webcomics are crap, but that's OK. It does not matter what your artistic direction is, when you f…
What's keeping me going? We just printed our first comic, and have already sold more copies than we have subscriptions. That makes me feel good, and get's me back to writing and drawing. Eagle (Let's me sleep well at nights)
NO-Earth Comics is always looking for artists (and writers). We're an artist/writer CO-OP working in a shared universe, and we pair artists and writers together for NO-Earth projects. We also publish each comic as it's completed (our first one came out this month). Eagle (Always looking to exp…
Yeah, that looks good! I subscribed to it! I had been meaning to check your stuff out after seeing you on the forums, so this is the perfect opportunity. I love the art style, very much in the style of the Marvel B&W mags of the 70's. Looks a bit iffy, but I am willing to give it a…
No humour, parody, gag-a-day, or sendups. Modern days classic superhero stories are what I am looking for. I want to expand my subscription list some. Eagle (So please, super comics, leave the other advertising for other threads)
Count me in for larger pixel width. I post here and my other mirror sites at 900px, but at 2100px on the NO-Earth site itself. Makes a huge difference! Eagle (All in favour of better comics!)
I'm a big believer in world building, and consider it to be essential to a well done story. The Setting is one of the 5 Elements of Fiction, and it's amazing how many stories just leave it out or underestimate the importance of it. You can see the Background area for NO-Earth and it's put tog…
The current formula for figuring copyright is this: (Current year - X) + 20 years)) In this formula, X is the year that Steamboat Willie was released. Disney will do whatever they have to to get new legislation passed to keep that from ever having Micky Mouse moved into the PD. Eagle (A…
Hey! I would like to plant the NO-Earth flag in this thread! NO-Earth is a shared universe with multiple creators all doing comics set in the same setting, and with some crossover of storylines and characters. We've currently got 4 titles going and more are on the way. It's going to be a c…
NO-Earth has a lot of public domain stuff in it, and we are constantly expanding. We have the War of the Worlds Martian Invasion, several public domain superheroes, and a number of public domain literary characters hidden around our background information. Eagle (I love the PD)
Sherlock Holmes is in the Public Domain, though the estate contests that. The Supremes refused to hear a case involving Holmes, letting the lower court ruling that the character was in the public domain stand. They have admitted that the first 50 stories no longer have copyright protection, but …
Ok, this is something that I have a fair amount of experience in. Until I started NO-Earth, I had never worked on a comic by myself, having usually done inking, colours, and/or pencils for other people. Writing was something I came late to, and since I learned to write, it's something that I hav…
Warmage has: Two named female lead characters: Mary Sue (black, larger woman) and Cassandra (Genetic construct Cheetah/human) Who have numerous conversations. Only some of which are about the male lead. Eagle (and if you haven't read any of Bechel's comics, you should)
Time for one of those harsh reality type things that I tend to hand out. There are crappy people in the world. They take a certain amount of pleasure in the pain, embarrassment and hurt of others. There is nothing that can be done to stop them. They have the (depending on country) right to …
I had been thinking between 300 and 500 for the initial print run, based on the price point breaks. What do you sell a floppy for at that low of a print run? Near as I can figure, that would mean selling it for north of $7 US per copy. Eagle (Is that about right?)
So here's the basis for this. NO-Earth Comics is going to be releasing 2 comics at Comicpalooza in June (40K+ attending). I have a lot of convention experience, but it's all over 15 years old, and none of it was as an indie comics publisher. So I have a few questions: What was your print run…
I do a 3D Comic (Warmage) and while I have not had anyone do the hate thing to me personally, I have seen all sorts of 3D Comic hate, even on this mostly friendly forum. It's just a fact of life. And yes, powering through it is the only way to get where you want to be. Eagle (3D is a very co…
A typical fantasy, sci-fi, horror, or superhero comic has a lot of exposition to get done. Period. The trick is to make it part of the story, and make it interesting. It has to be something that the reader really needs to know right then in order to understand what is going on, but you can a…
Ok, I use DAZ3D for both of the comics I do the art on. I use very different techniques on them, however, so I'll break it down. First, off, I am a traditional artist. Everything by hand. This is one of my pieces: [image] Just a drawing to prepare for a painting like that takes hours…
Always. Strangely enough, that timing sounds great since right now we are down to only one project that's at the script stage without an artist attached. Part of that is due to the fact that we tend to be a little rough on writers. Pitch, then script, then 1-5 re-writes/edits to get it to …
Speaking as someone who has a good track record of collabing with total strangers on the internet, I am going to let you in on the secret. You don't need money. You don't need love. You need a script that is more exciting than anything that they have written for themselves. It needs t…
A story needs conflict. It's not much of a story without it. It also needs stakes, which are usually called Goals, but stakes is a much better term as it covers more of what the story is actually about. There are three basic kinds of conflict: Man vs. Man Man vs. Nature Man vs. Himself …
I'm from Texas. Eagle (That's a country, right?)
