I really like Sao (long hair)'s fit here. [image] When your comic is a fantasy story, but you like fashion so you go out of your way to draw your characters in modern settings: [image] [image] [image]
I dont think its a "toxic takeaway." Besides, people are complex and deals with issues in multifaceted ways. I think the art looks good. It's simplistic, but in a way that's intentional enough for it to be a style. If you do want more complexity, use gradient like theyrebothakilogram suggested, or …
yeah. Cleared cache, cookies and restarted browser. It's still an issue. Weirdly, the forum works fine in incognito mode.
The forum looks like this everytime I click to another page. I need to refresh for it to load properly. Is this happening to anyone else? [image] homepage: [image] Edit: Im using Opera browser and it seems to be the culprit. Works fine on Chrome. How odd.
may I also suggest https://forums.tapas.io/t/find-cameo-friendly-ocs-here/68500
Some people are judgemental about anime and nerdy stuff. While anime/ its community has its problematic aspects, it's immature to be judgemental toward one of the biggest art form in Japan as a whole. Edit: This is assuming that's what she thinks ofcourse. She just made a face. Why dont you ask her? …
I make whole-ass illustrations for my title page lol. They take up one update. It's a fun break and it gives a bit of a buffer. I can make prints of them in the future. [image] [image] [image]
Im on the spectrum. I’m lucky enough to have found social circles in friendly art communities where people are ok with folks just chilling by themselves. There really isn’t anything wrong with sitting around near your acquaintances and listen to their convos. Some good folks may even ask you for you…
Full Metal Alchemist meets Avatar the Last Air Bender probably
hot take: if your comic isn't getting a lot of traction. It's most likely a quality issue
It’s honestly a clutch for me. It’s easier to get started on B&W, but much harder to make it look good (or as good as color). It takes a lot of planning and foresight that I don’t have. Plus color is more popular than b&w when it comes to webcomics in general
I take my own using my phone and a remote clicker
that's incredibly helpful! I rewrote it with some of your thoughts. Thank you! [image]
Just up the vibrancy [image] If you want the back lit effect, try the ayer settings [image] Whyt manga has a good video on how he does it
oo I didn't properly contextualize the image. The person with dreads isn't Jor. Her name is Rang and she killed Jor as revenge for being a part of the bandits that killed her family too. So Jor's gang killed both Amri and Rang's family. Amri unknowingly marries Jor, while Rang kills Jor in revenge. …
my first comics were traditional, but the vast majority of my experience has been digital. It's just so convenient.
oo very true. Ill consider the dialogue more in relation to the character
loll. and thank you. The dissociation part is what I'm worried about the most. Glad that it's making sense
sorry I didn't explain things properly. Jor was among the bandits who killed Amri's father and raided the city. Then Jor later marries Amri. Then Jor was killed by another person who's also seeking revenge. She's talking to Jor's killer in those panels. I was wondering about whether to include t…
I'm trying to figure out the appropriate reaction.. Major spoiler to my comic- Sao and the Glow of Memory: I have a side character named Amri. Her father was murdered by bandits when they raided her city. She spiraled, until she fell in love and marries a man named Jor who helped her heal. 2 year…
I think it does. There are a few comic creators who I know about through their videos about making webcomic and reviewing other creators' comics-- ND Bern, Turtle and Bug, and McKay & Gray are a few examples. Their content are refined and take a lot of work but it really engages with the webtoon com…
I generally like them. Especially the Q&A stuff which helps author learn more about characters and are usually fun interactions. They're good for in-between chapter buffers since they can be scrappy. One of my odd pet peeves are the bonus BTS where the characters are "actors" playing their charac…
It took me until now to learn the importance of lineweights lol [image]
for me it's Rang. [image] It's difficult trying to draw her dreads in a way that flow naturally but also not covering her face during action scenes (when they're not tied up). I also have a very particular image of a face for her that I can't really get consistently right. The image above is my be…
my favorite thing about pigeons is that they're shit at making nest [image] [image] [image] [image]
Yeah the coat is huge in the first few eps. I looked through the first chapter and these are the panels that stands out to me the most. None of them are egregious tho, and you dont need to fix them if you don't want to. The "action blur" here doesn't work. I think it should be at the back of hi…
Low engagement is common. People skimp the first few eps, sub so they can come back later, and never does. It’s likely that the story isn’t hooking readers early on so they stopped reading. Imo, everything you’re doing is competent but your story has not hooked me (yet). There aren’t established s…
I guess it's just a difference of how we watch the MCU in this case lol. I like continuity but not if it stifle what people can do with the individual story. I just think that there's a population that are overly critical of these films (not for the reasons you listed) just because it's women-focu…
what exactly did she do though? and how is what she did "crazy" or extreme feminism? What did she say that was unkind? Is it just boasting? I see men boast all the time. It high key seems like yall have such a double standard on how men v women should behave. And it's not even every women. It's…
what attitude? None of it makes her deserving of the crap she got.
