My comic, Aetherwing, is a story about an arrogant angel who teams up with an awkward nerd with mysterious powers to track down a plague monster. Also elementals! [image]

There are so many amazing looking comics on here! O: Mine's a mythology-based story about the truth behind ancient Greek heroes... Hopefully I'm going to persuade a lot of people to have as much love for the monsters as me. This is the cover of my comic, Polyphemus! [image]

No mention of Witchy yet? It's got solid art and very strong writing. At a first glance, it may seem like a typical high school story about a main character who's a victim of bullying, but there is SO much more to it. And it's fantasy, of course. The school teaches magic, in a kingdom whose system r…

Grief and Creating

Take a break if you need one. Seriously, do. I haven't lost loved ones often, thankfully, but for me, art and the creation thereof has always represented a kind of comforting routine, and in times of great upset or loss, it's a space for me to take shelter in, and keep working on it until things …

Any fellow hand-letterers?

For word bubbles, I only hand letter short projects (mini comics) or if a client specifically asks. I like the way my hand lettering looks, but it really makes my hand tired and hurty, so for my webcomic I letter in illustrator.

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I really wanted to hand letter my work. The idea that I could have the complete comic be 100% on paper is magical. Alas, though I can draw, I have poor handwriting. People complained about the lettering in Visceral's Prologue. So I had to switch to digital text for my other projects... I admire all …

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I mostly handletter because i do everything in SAI and it doesn't have a text tool lol. //and i'm too lazy to open a second program just to input text orz

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I always use fonts, but there's only one comic that I actually letter by hand (Urban Legend) Because it just goes well with the style and I don't have to switch programs to do the lettering, nor fiddle with the text space etc. which can be tedious sometimes.

Jun 1, '16

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I use a font I made from my handwriting so...I guess that counts? I think hand-lettering looks awesome and definitely adds a more personal touch, and I totally agree with your point about the art and the dialogue matching. Trying to make my handwriting look neat/consistent for every single speech bu…

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I love all the different lettering styles you use in your comic! It makes things more interesting and makes a lot of sense too, since there are so many different ways your characters communicate

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I started hand lettering on my current comic and I'm pretty sure I have to redo some of the writing in the first couple of pages at least at some point but I was inspired by a fellow comic artist's thoughts on hand lettering and since I don't usually have that much dialogue it's actually easier to e…

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I hand letter my comics because most fonts look tool mechanical and polished to me. I like hand lettering in comics because I feel it gives a personal touch! I just hope my handwriting is clean enough to look alright.

Jun 1, '16

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I used hand letters on a page, will perhaps use them on special occasions. I use a font because it's rather tedious and time consuming to write with a mouse (given i obsess over having everything in order too and it'd take all that much longer). But yeah, hand writing can be pretty damn awesome! […

Any fellow hand-letterers?

i hand-letter! my pages are pretty obviously hand-made and a digital typeface just doesnt look very good on them, so i use pens. [image] admittedly my handwriting is kind of unusual, but i've been trying to make it as neat as i can and i think i have slowly been improving. everyone who i have ask…

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I letter my stuff traditionally. Tried using fonts a long time ago, it took forever to type and align everything, I kept forgetting what fonts I used, it looked ugly. It was a generally unenjoyable process, so I rage quit and stuck with writing everything out from then on. Sure, my handwriting is…

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I hand letter my pages, and with them already being fully traditional, digital text would just stand out too much.

Any fellow hand-letterers?

Me too, I hand letter. Basically everything I do in my comic is by hand since I wanna bcom a better artist than my inspiration Kubo Tite. THE LAST SAMURAI

Any fellow hand-letterers?

Runewriters is digitally hand-lettered! This is mostly because I really like playing with the lettering to represent different things; Tareth's lowercase, stick-and-circle font reflects how her deaf accent comes across differently to her hearing friends; Jonan's muffled scribbles are less weird than…

May 31, '16

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I kind of switch between hand lettering and a font I made of my handwriting, It really just depends on the amount of text in the comic and whether it would take a long time to write it or not.

May 31, '16

Any fellow hand-letterers?

Yeah, I hand letter! I can't figure out what kind of font looks good with my art, so I just use my own handwriting. I think with traditional comics sometimes it fits a little better, whereas with digital ones a font ties it together better. Now I just need to learn how to keep my handwriting cons…

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I hand lettered my comic for an anthology but oh man, it took longer than to draw the comic so I don't think I'll do that again ;D (Ok, I might, because it was fun, but I wouldn't dare to make a 1200 page long hand lettered comic) It's just easier to fix typos later with using a font, and it looks…

May 31, '16

Any fellow hand-letterers?

I used to hand-letter my first comic Demon House, but stopped after the fourth episode. I type much faster than I write and it's easier to fix typos and format as far as centering the text goes. I still hand-write sound effects or small side dialogue though.

What would you not do in your comic?

To me, the greatest sin you can commit as a comic artist/writer is the "wall of text." This is a visual medium, and the art should always work in tandem with the story. Here's an example, if you're fortunate to have never experienced it. [image] Pages like this just destroy pacing, and can someti…

Which kind of creator are you?

I think I would be a 4 on your scale! I devote myself to comics seriously and consider myself a professional, but I usually avoid "The Industry," haha. I prefer webcomics! Most of my work is self-published, and comics is not my living. If it never becomes my living, that wouldn't be a failure to me,…
