Hi Del, The good news is you have a solid start. While you have nothing to be ashamed of now (nice use of the palace/hovels scene setting to convey information without outright stating it. "showing not telling" and conveying information through the world and action instead of direct infodump is p…
Hi Dglisson. I know I meant to make a followup post but it never actually happened. I'll have to see if i can dig out those notes at some point and remember where I intended to go with it. I took a look at Beast Bait (http://www.beastbait.com/) and I had a couple suggestions. The first is a pre…
Dear Kialankay I found this draft sitting here from forever ago. I am quite sorry if the information never reached you. Ah, ok well on the drawing front: Drawing on a tablet is actually quite impressive (I'm going to assume you have access to a computer as well though, correct me if i'm wrong). He…
There's also the option of going for more of a traditional setup. You can scan it or use a decent camera (think above four megapixels, plenty of lighting) then clean and color correct the image in a program like GIMP (there are at least a couple pertinent guides below). The watercolor in A Redtail…
Continuing the discussion from Content Marketing Guide for Comickers: Ah, ok well on the drawing front: Drawing on a tablet is actually quite impressive (I'm going to assume you have access to a computer as well though, correct me if i'm wrong). Here's a couple low cost options that might give …
edit: Cyndi's alerted me to a real danger of promotion on facebook without the right targeting so I've removed this rebuttal. I might throw together a targeting guide at some point, but in the mean time, look it up before you advertise. It's really helpful and on facebook at least neglecting it co…
You can certainly put up an amazing comic, send out emails to review sites, post listings, etc. but you'll always be operating at a bit of a disadvantage vs. the people who do use social media. On the other hand, for those with fairly limited time constraints, social media might be beyond the scope…
Aw, geez, this was meant to be a general use post too, but now I regret not taking the time to thoroughly check out your current social media efforts before handing down recommendations ^_^'. I'm honestly taken aback at the scale of what you've been doing. I should probably do a social media specif…
Hah, I know the feeling. I've got this ridiculous comic about Teddy Roosevelt fighting bears I made for a friend a couple years ago. it was so unplanned I had no room for text and had to type it in the description beneath (there's a design minor for ya ^_^'). I'd be quite interested to know what …
Well obviously these are all for the ideal case and none of this is set in stone. Plus circumstances are rarely ideal. Very few of us have the luxury to do this professionally after all. Honestly one page a week for a plot driven piece like silversong, especially with such heavy duty art, shoul…
Hi Cindi. There's a couple avenues you can pursue at this point (specifics at bottom). I'll keep in mind the (pretty universal) budget constraints. (note some suggestions are only viable for those with non-tapastic mirrors) Make sure you're on any and all popular comics listing and consider p…
During a talk with the fine creators of Oops Comic Adventure they suggested I might be able to lend some people a hand with the whole self promotion thing. I work in digital advertising and I read a stupidly large number of online comics (around 200 at current), so I spend a lot of time thinking on …
A warning as to paint tool sai. As much as I love it, it only really works for windows pcs. Its main selling point is as an intuitive lightweight art platform, so emulating it rather defeats the purpose, and from what I hear can lead to a number of bugs.
If you're looking at paying for manga studio, or something similar anyway you might want to consider picking up a tablet. Monoprice is supposed to have a pretty solid model for fifty bucks. (monoprice.com/Product?c_id=113&cp_id=11303&cs_id=1084101&p_id=6251&seq=1&format=2) That being said, manga…
I've always wondered about the sorts of contracts sites like Naver require. The gobbledygook that Google Translate puts out isn't very helpful. But if they are actually an option these are some of my favourites. I will admit that I often had to search out an English translation somewhere. (also,…
oops, forgotten about the flash/interactive bits in Making a cat cry, the adventure. S'been awhile.
here's a couple that are solid, fairly quick on the update and probably not too enmeshed in their websites the property of hate http://tpoh.smackjeeves.com/ mokepon http://mokepon.smackjeeves.com/ making a cat cry, the adventure http://www.prequeladventure.com/ astral aves http://astralaves.…
