I'm trying to connect my youtube to my comics more, so I've started sharing comic process work speedpaints... I used to focus on just my projects (webseries, shitposts, memes) but I'm starting to do story/commentated speedpaints so I can start posting more often [:sweat_02:] here's my latest upload:…
another vote for "plotting my story better" - I loved the freedom of writing forward/on the spot, page by page, but it's not at all practical if you have a specific set of story points you wanna eventually reach. planning ahead and outlining will always save you a headache in the future. I had no pl…
I do an autobio mainly, but I've also set up the foundation for my two story comics! My workflow is changing (as well as my applications for creating comics) so I expect future episodes of LWAM and Street Magic to look different. As a result, I'm gonna try to make LWAM shift art every couple in-s…
this is gonna be some scattered thoughts [:sweat_02:] Any update I'm making to any project is because I don't want the last thing up to be a representation of my "best work"... because it never is. lol- I always have to cut corners on parts of pages...Sometimes I go back and fix pages/chapters, b…
woohoo!! thank you 
I started street magic in full color- might keep it that way to keep it consistent.. but it might be easier to switch to a monochromatic style with accents to save time 
LWAM has a full color first episode, but is greyscale in the first section. As the comic progresses, I hope to improve the contras…
Hi! I'm 26 lmao -- these are my main 3 series! Street Magic has been on hiatus, but I'm actively focused on CH3...! [:hohoho:] 
My comic LWAM updated today!! 
As much as I'd always love reaching bigger audiences, my goal is to flesh out the stories in my head. My art doesn't have to be perfect for that, but I know the more I make pages, the more I'm gonna improve anyway (if I keep spicing it up and doing studies too!) I just wanna write stories and sho…
LWAM had an update today !! I'm pretty proud of it! 
I only tend to sub4sub if I'm also building rapport with a creator. I'll check out their work in support of them, and check in on updates every now and then... but I likely won't keep up with every update. Hell, I have trouble keeping up with every update to the comics I excitedly subbed to [:sweat_…
Ahhh!! You've seriously been so helpful!! Thank you immensely for taking the time and for your honesty!! I'm very excited to get to the episode where Nichole first truly interacts with the shadow!! (Soon!!) and I already have a large bulk of episodes outlined and scripted. I'm thrilled to get to wor…
For my autobio comic, I do usually 4-6 panels per comic. Story comics? For Street Magic, I used to do pages with 5-7 panels per page, one page per update... Ch2 was 17 pages, for example.. 135 panels for the whole chapter. I divided that into four parts when I cross-posted it to webtoons. [:sweat_…
everyone has been so kind [:cry_02:]I can't thank y'all enough for even checking out my stuff, let alone saying such nice things!! [:cry_02:] [:cry_02:] [:cry_02:]
Thank you so much for checking it out!! and omg you're right! I forgot I made that note at the end of episode 1 back in october!! [:sweat_02:] thank you for bringing it to my attention- I'll fix it ASAP
ohhh my gosh I'm beyond flattered!! [:blusht:] I voiced Blurk in the series, got some friends to voice Abi/Jake/Nichole -- Nichole's role was the most difficult to get recorded but my methods were recording all lines myself first as a vocal coach guide for the VAs! [:sweat_02:] every line was a game…
Thank you!! I'll see if I can make a short breather episode with some nvrlyalone storypoints/character info pieces! 
great idea!!
Ohmygosh thank you for checking it out!!
ahh oh my gosh thank you!! 
I pride myself on my dialogue but I worry sometimes the banter goes on too much [:sweat_02:]
oh my gosh I can't believe I didn't think of that. thank you so much [:sweat_02:] 
Heya!! So, tricky situation: my webcomic Living With a Monster is a sequel backstory-series to an animated webshow I made last year titled nvrlyalone. While it's absolutely beneficial to watch the animated webshow before reading the comic, I've been trying to write LWAM to also be enjoyable to tho…
I would looove more tuts on simplifying background work for comics while still being able to Feel like the characters are deep in an evironment... most tuts I see on comic backgrounds are for heavy detail painting or clip studio tricks with sketchup [:sweat_01:] it's like there's very little in-betw…
your replies made me laugh so hard I had to share them with my roommates, who also busted up. thank you [:rofl:]
oh gosh I had to research a lot of this for personal reasons.. I have an autobio comic so if I share experiences with these types of subject matters, I always wanna make sure I'm depicting stuff tactfully/respectfully 
[:sweat_02:]
oooh some favs:
lineless in color 
bickering MCs 
varied body types!!!! 
classic buffoonery between scenes of tension
I'm also admittedly a sucker for any healthy LGBT romances depicted. There's a lot of comics that have gay pairings, but the relationship is incredibly toxic
OOF this one is a big problem for me too [:sweat_02:] I have so much stuff I'm juggling that I end up burning out and making no progress anywhere [:sweat_01:]
What were some of the subjects you had to research for writing your comic/novel? Do you recommend any of your resources? I spent some time with a stack of sociology books, one of which helped me out a lot with my comic Living with a Monster- titled "Why Good Kids Act Cruel" it was a fascinating d…
