I already have someone helping me with a French translation of my current comic (collaborative process because I also speak French as a second language but need help with diversity of voices and expressions), but from one bilingual to another I hope you find a project that fits you :3 good luck with…
I think you've got things backwards. Anime is a genre of storytelling created by humans, who are living in the world. Good anime is grounded in reality in terms of writing characters and stakes, if not esthetically. The world feels like anime to you because you've experienced a lot of anime and…
I started sharing "widely" when I was writing on Wattpad at 14, so over 10 years ago at this point. For what it was it got a surprising amount of readers and I only really appreciated that in retrospect, which was kind of sucky of me. But then again I've always been writing stories and drawing and…
Hey friend I'm late but it looks like you're in a panic spiral and catastrophising, like it seems like everything that has ever worried you is coming at you all at once. Take some time to breathe and remind yourself you're ok. You don't have to be good at everything right now and you don't have …
Just reaching to something here: unless there's stuff that is actually a writing flaw (latent misogyny in the narration rather than from specific characters, female characters that have no personality or act like aliens when the men act generally normal, excessive violence against specifically women…
Yeah dude it's called neurodivergence lol.
Yeah I feel like it's a reaction a lot of us have and then grow out of. One of the things that really helped me get some perspective is that people were comparing my characters visually to characters that 1) personnality-wise weren't very similar to my character 2) I'd never seen or heard of befor…
"A friend of mine compared my character to a popular existing character, THAT MEANS I'M NOT ORIGINAL, I HAVE TO CHANGE THEM." Learning that comparisons like that are usually meant as compliments from a bunch of people and having the confidence to know that despite some similarities, my characters …
Just so you know: there's already a bunch of artists who won't work unpaid, there's also a growing knowledge about how the prizes for the webtoon contests are basically slave contracts. To a bunch of artists, the prize for not winning the webtoon contest is that you didn't win. Don't go into this …
I've always done both, mostly because growing up in a foreign country not knowing the language at first meant I couldn't really communicate the way I wanted, so doing both was my way of coping with that. I've also always been a "try everything artsy" person so I've also tried dancing, singing, sewin…
Obsession meaning even if i fall off schedule, I'll always go back.
Having just come back from a convention, I definitely like stuffing one backpack to the max for 2 weeks, but because most of my travel now is for conventions so I have to go around with two massive heavy suitcases for a weekend 🥲 I need to work out more to be able to carry them easier.
Thanks :3 I'm not helping myself by having such an involved rendering process, that's for sure, but I wouldn't want the result any other way. And yeah it does translate to 52 pages/year, which is actually slightly above trad industry standard in my country (one of the most used formats in comic boo…
It's hard to pin down exactly how long from blank page to finished product because I've written and rewritten my pages months or even years in advance to have time to look over the writing again without knowing what I meant to say, same with the storyboarding which is usually done months out, but ge…
They may be french, AI in French is Intelligence Artificielle. Also they may be trolling because this is a really ragebaity question, especially on this platform where users and the platform itself has made their opinions clear A LOT.
Kind of goofy advice but I had the same problem as you with the AI stuff for buildings (I needed specific references from a specific place in a specific time and everything was garbled mish-mash of not that culture/not that time). Do normal google searches but put a swear in the search bar, prefer…
I think you've got 2 main issues here: there are things that explicitly don't have a watsonian explanation that would require one your explanation in itself is muddled, which doesn't help us judging if it's clear or not. Starting with the second point, I'm going to try and synthesise your very …
Success is finishing the chapter and wanting to start the next one.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to seem angry. I was more in disbelief because the situation seemed so absurd. It is so out of the ordinary to grow that much that fast that I thought anyone whom it happened to would be able to just look around and see that their peers aren't growing as fast and be gratef…
As others have said, it really depends on things like: artstyle artist's country of residence if the artist is a professionnal or an amateur the type of drawing you want (portrait/halfbody/fullbody/with or without background) how fast you want the drawing, some artists have rush fees what you wan…
The mc is trans, so is another character who's not outed yet and an upcoming favorite of mine is nb. It's modern sci-fi dystopia so of course as civil liberties die, individual expression flourishes. [image]
Gonna be honest: absolutely no clue. I know that I was on the community tab feature 3 times during lthe first year I was publishing my comic (this is back in 2021 or 2022 when that was still a thing, I've noticed they've changed the app layout now so it doesn't look like that exists anymore), and …
Wait this is context that i did not have: they're complaining about """only""" having 45 subs in TWO WEEKS? @Poketrix My friend, it took me 2 MONTHS to get to 50 subs and I was on the community promotion tab when that was still a thing. What do you mean "static subscriptions"? It's been TWO WEEKS…
Khay: calculated, traumatised, desperate, resilient, prejudiced. But those words are changing. [image]
Don't put your comic on hold because you're not getting subs, that's the one surefire way to no longer get subs and kill any momentum you might have in the algorithm. Don't beg for subs. If your main talking point is "no one wants to read my comic, please click the button out of pity", it's not go…
I started brainstorming Petrichor in 2016 and it was kind of a "what if worst case scenario" about what little I understood of the political climate at the time, and I kind of got into worldbuilding that and doing some research into science advancement and political history to feed the world. I di…
Thanks ^^ I've had a look over what you've put up, the artstyle's pretty cute and gives me Charlie and Lola nostalgia, and I like the episodic format of it where you can kind of hop through the episodes to get little snapshots of the character's lives. For the crowdfunding the thing that really h…
Only subscribe if you want to read it though, if you know you don't want to it's ok.
The bots play a role but also: we all had way more time on our hands to just draw as kids and there were NO EXPECTATIONS that what we did had to be good. As an adult there's a kind of latent ageism (which is just factually incorrect to hold true) that you "should be able to do some things by now" …
I'm also on my own for my personal tapas comic, but I'm also paid to be on a team as a storyboarder, sketch artist and lineartist, and there's about 5 of us on the project, so it's quite a big team for a comic. The solo one is a huge amount of work and I have self published in hardback form and the …
