I think it was my first one actually. The client was speaking semantics in order to pay less and have more. It was for a full scenery type of illustration of somebody riding a motorbike with his daughter on the back. And the client was like "hey look, since that part of the body is hidden by the b…
@Caro Damn your last point is totally true! That's the dilemma I'm in currently. I love the format but I don't appreciate the fact that if you want to be read and be noticed by publishers and readers, you kinda need to aim for that kid/teenage demographic which isn't what I'm interested in. And i…
I probably didn't explain myself clearly. My gripe is why we, as creators, treat webtoons differently than when we make traditional comics (physical or digital/webcomic). I'm on the same boat as you, I don't mind paying for what I consume and this is exactly what I'm pointing. Why independent webtoo…
It indeed looks awesome! My post wasn't meant to be negative in any way, simply to start a conversation, my bad if it comes out too pessimistic My observation was referring more to independent creators, people like us. I follow a lot of comic artists and most of the people who do traditional layo…
@VibrantFox For sure at the end of the day, it's about knowing your target audience. I do see people buying indie comics digital or physical, I'm one of them but indie webtoon? I don't know. I feel like those paid webtoons are rare in the independent scene and it's not as accepted and practiced as t…
Something I don't see talked a lot either from the consumer (obviously because it's free, why complain?) but also creators. I would like to know your opinion on it, especially as a creator. In the comic world, when indie authors are creating a comic they will naturally put their work in a shop, to…
Updated with a new scene : https://imgur.com/a/0vvIk6T (Episode 1, part 1/5) I edited the first post. I'm gonna use this thread to post all my storyboards. Thank you for your time! I appreciate the help! (the dialogues are not final, English isn't my native tongue so the sentences probably n…
@GokceofCandG Never heard of them but this looks fun! Have you tried their services? @CarltonIsaac That's good to hear! Thanks!
Damn that's true, I didn't even think about making a thread and just bumping it. Wonder why I don't sse people doing that more often here I might actually do it, thank you!
I'm currently working on my storyboard and I'm looking for feedback. I don't plan to release the finish "product" until it's all done so it might take a while but I do want some early inputs to make the thing better. What do you think, is it a good idea? (Also, I don't wanna spam the forum or t…
I really like to blend John Truby's take on story structure and Blake Snyder's take. They are both relatively share similarities while Snyder focuses more on making things as clear and easy to digest as possible, Truby gives a more deep analysis of it so I like to blend these 2 structures into my wr…
I guess that comes with the territory as a consumer and creator, you end up consuming for fun and for study which set you apart from the regular reader. You can get bored and annoyed more easily. But it's weird tho' because webtoon is relatively new, I've been following the medium since 2015-2016…
You made a good point, you're right. I don't know if there is a stat on it but I wonder how long readers stay on the app and how many episodes they read before they leave. Because if the majority have an average reading session of 1-3 minutes I would understand the pacing but if their reading sessio…
There is a bit of that. The main issue I have is when I binge-read a webtoon. I don't have time to follow anything on a weekly basis but I do like to sit down and read a good chunk of it. And this become a glaring issue to me since a lot of them instead of writing their story with the big picture in…
Damn I didn't know about that term but it's exactly what I'm looking for in comics and you're right they are very rare! It's a bit sad that other creators follow that trend as well and don't try to build their own language.
I've been trying to wrap my head around why I'm not as invested when reading a webtoon compared to comic or manga and I've come to the conclusion that I have an issue with the way the current webtoon industry format their stories Their structure/writing is based around the fact that evey episode …
It's tough to say. I guess the general consensus from a mainstream perspective is if it's entertaining to you then it's a great story which I believe it isn't entirely true since what feels good might not be actually good. For me a great story is about finding what the author is trying to say, und…
Yes. I grew up in a diverse city I would even dare say that white people were kinda a minority in this bubble. I grew up in the suburb of France, at the border of Paris which historically are places built to centralized the immigrant workers in order to rebuild the country after the war and as you…
Damn! Thank you! It means a lot, it's really encouraging!
Thank you for your time, I appreciate that! I try to avoid info-dumping the best I can. Especially when dealing with a setting that isn't regular, it's easy to fall into that trap xD Yeah, I'm aware of the workload I want to take my time with this project. I work on it as if I was directing an a…
It's all about the art at first for me. Comic being a visual format first and foremost, I get hooked when the author shows me their art and composition skills. If the art convinces me that they can tell a story with their sense of composition alone then I stick around and focus on the story Imm…
I think it's better to start off with the same average length of your serie. If you post a long ass chapter and then start posting short ones for the entire thing, some might just leave because they will feel mislead. However, that's the minority if the quality is good, they'll stick around regardle…
Hello everyone. I decided to work on my comic for real and keep working on it 'til it's done. I will use this thread to update you all and hopefully I can make the project better with your inputs! Right now I only have the first two scenes storyboarded, it's rough but hopefully, it's clear enough!…
Gotta be honest I didn't. I didn't do a lot of comic work last year so I didn't want to reach out if I had nothing to show haha! But I did a bit of scouting and found the twitter/IG of some editors, I keep that in mind when I'm gonna reach out to them.
I just watched the first 3 episodes of Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken and loved it. I wanted to do a serie of screencap redraw so here's the first one. [image]
Just having fun getting back to drawing again [image]
I read the first chapter and skimmed through the last one to see the art(Hounded). My feedback is mainly based on my experience on the first chapter so take it for what it is. First off, the art is nice even in the beginning. The composition in some panels is pretty ballsy, I like that I'd say my…
Last year for the release of the game, I did a small serie, a "what if Kingdom Hearts was set in Miyazaki's world", it was quite fun [image] [image] [image]
Funny you mentionned this, I've been running a Halloween Event since well...halloween because I was always interested in this kind of storytelling. That's exactly how I feel! I'm currently working on a short pilot to see how the public reacts to it, also getting my feet wet on the process. The s…
Happy new year y'all! Wish you all to be successful with your comic/novel! We're all on the same boat! Keep it up! May the force be with you!
