Hello Everyone, I'm SKETCHFro! and I make a comic called RELIC HUNTER: RIVEN! There are a bunch of short stories and the Main story's first volume was just uploaded, so please consider having a look!:tapahearteyes: [image] https://tapas.io/episode/63940 https://tapas.io/episode/1848242
I like a lot of what you are telling people so far. You're doing nice with the critiques. [:sweat_02:]
Thanks for your shout of support. I do think I need to just be more confident with my own work and start pushing it more on Social media, and other places where I can. I dunno the best way to do that, since the #(Hashtag) revolution is such a gamble? I dunno if it really helps unless the topic is ho…
This post is definitely turning out to be more informative than I expected. Yes, In this situation, Scroll-based apps seem to have a different flow and style that I'll learn around when I have some time to start studying it. I'm going to finish up my current comic work and then start working on a…
Valid point. It's not something that I'm against. Really, there are a ton of the scrolling comic formats that work out for stories. But I feel some stories I've made are better suited the way they were made. Not to mention, I guess a lot of people here are digital artist 100%. I still draw out thi…
I understand that. I guess It's something I'm going to add to the consideration list. But it's good to remember this. I get heavily into reading and looking at chapters so I usually go in like 4-5 at a time. We are all different kind of people. I just need to remember that.
Good to see you here. I've been checking your work as much as I can too. The Scroll... this is killing me. But again it seems more apparent that online comics need to be shorter and able to be scrolled through for flow. I'll look into storytelling like this but, I'm a bit more surprized to hear so…
Thanks for your insight! I'll stop over and check on your comic also. Yea, maybe promotion is best but I always thought people who like to read stories online share it more often? Dunno, but I'll try it out.
Yea, it's hard even with a bunch of Hashtags to gain footwork to here. But I'll keep trying to put it up on SNS to get more traction. Thanks for your insight. I'll check out your comic too!
To be honest, I wouldn't want to redo these because the pages are made for TRADITIONAL LAYOUTS. Separating them and putting them into a SCROLL format would do more harm to FLOW, MOVEMENT and STORY than I think would help it.... My story isn't meant for SCROLL. It's a book format and I have to acce…
Hmm.. while there is a lot to unpack here and there are quite a few things I'm actual on the other side of the fence with you about. You are right and everyone agrees with you: Scroll type comics and color comics sell here. Manga and Traditional style is not suited for this website. I'll rework th…
While I can't tell you what exactly happened in that period of time, You are right that there was a dip in time. Just based off your understanding I'll see more about a buffer. I'll also check the alternative platforms to see if it would suit me better. Thanks for the insight.
Yea, seems if posting online the SCROLL format is KING nowadays. I'll have to think about making a comic just in that format because.... honestly I don't really like the scroll format but I see that it makes quick reading and skimming easier for people. Thanks for your insight.
So you mean 'Traditional submission' then? Well, it's been a while since I tried again. Let's see. Thanks for your insight.
I'm just confused. I really dunno why and what I'm doing wrong to not retain people? Maybe it's my story? Maybe its my characters? I'm not sure, I don't really have many followers either. What do you pros do to keep retention to your comics?? If your are curious, here are my stories. You can crit…
I'm working on the #30daysofSONIC over on TWITTER still, so this is what I drew for that. [image] and here is what I drew for my comic! [image] NEW CHAPTER COMING SOON!!!
I have no other profitable skills... I just really want to make good stories and I wish more people would read them. I need to detach myself from this because it's pretty unhealthy but... I really wish my stories were better received...

I get that. I'm a traditional Comic artist, so my pages suit books more than phones, but really in Tapastic, your layout is well suited for this. Keep up the good work!
If you want to just experiment, then 'HIRO MASHIMA' it and say how it's an alternative universe or just a parallel idea. If you want to tie it into the story but just... experiment, just have them 'WAKE UP'.
CONSISTENCY: The more you grow with your story, the better that gets. Keep references, don't settle for things when you draw it, especially if you know something's off, and keep up to date on yourself, by drawing turnarounds, situations and environments with them. Storytelling and flow. You're fol…
So.. first off... what is YOUR problem with your comic? A person seeking critique means you yourself, have conscious issues with your work. Somethings I want to know before answering: Who and what are your influences? What comic inspired you to make comics? Is there a comic style you want your …
My main story has been re-written 5 times, and was actually a side story from my childhood manga, which was re-written 3 times before that too. After a while, it's more about changing things for the future as to going back and changing past things. I did post up before an image: …
