yo, I FEEL you, dude. I, too, greatly enjoy character-driven stories by which I mean I don't care if eff-all happens as long as the characters and their dynamics are great. In what you describe, I think the worst is when the stuff you wanna show off requires, like, a plot with conflict and stakes bu…
i do actually kinda get the sense that the blogs who get some interaction are ones who talk about themselves. they gain a face that an audience can connect to that way. palette and expression ask games are a good way to start talking to peeps for sure! or any kind of "ask me" game... it was fun when…
yeah it kinda murks the thank-you. plus, i mostly see posting thank-you messages as promotion already... sometimes i see a thank-you message that attracts me based on its art or humour, so i check out the comic while leaving my own thanks. it's kinda funny.
i suppose it's the internet? i mean... more petty things too? people talking about or engaging with awful people. my main point was that it's easy to avoid if you're picky about who you follow. i follow like 50 blogs, only 5 of which post regularly and all of which are run by swell people, so to me …
if you're using tumblr, don't follow anyone lol. this is a joke. but what i mean is that some blogs drag shit onto their blogs that has to do with somesuch drama from thatsuch political scene or in some cartoon industry and it can be infuriating to be brought to your attention a lot if you're the ty…
idc what people do as long as they're not abusing/manipulating another person using a power imbalance (the adult + teen type of imbalance being the topic of this thread). i'm really used to seeing teenagers being shown about as mature/stupid as the adults in some manga so i'm a bit desensitized tbh.…
gosh i should write him fanmail! thanks i'll look into him
that's about intellect which i can do okay. im talking abt how tf businesses and systems work and how they can ACTUALLY be exploited. y'know. less of "the mind of a murderer" and more of "how to commit murder and get away with it." anyway these are good resources, thanks!!!!!!!!
i don't like talking about my age because the progression of time freaks me out. i'm good at school, terrified of life. kind of doing w/e and hoping for the best? i have to finish uni but i dont wanna do my bachelor's thesis at all lol. i took a gap year and am working. can't even keep a webcomic sc…
sometimes i come up with an idea n im like "wow! so good! i have to do research on it though...!" and then i cry. usually, my problem is that i can never wrap my little mind around it enough to find a starting point. and so, research is the bane of my existence. right now, i'm having to think a lo…
i'm still looking for my ideal process u.u;;; my biggest issue seems to be impatience. this causes me to rush the pacing towards the latter half of a chapter and to not think my layouts through as carefully. a method that battles this would be a blessing. for the first few, i sketched as i went al…
AMEN. blaming others is so easy. tbh, i should be promoting others' comics more but i suck at getting ppl to read them TTnTT my circles are too small!! but i should buck up and try harder.
basically, aside of ONE's art itself (the actual drawings), everything else is well done. try finding the original OPM or, better yet, read Mob Psycho 100 (it ended recently) and, while you read, try to think about why it is or isn't entertaining to you.
It likely doesn't have it because tapas has its own paying features. Ad revenue and tipping... Did tapas have a feature to lock your own eps behind a coin-wall? that was another site, wasn't it... Anyway, I figure maybe tapas wants to handle that stuff itself? Dunno...
Besides things already mentioned, I like a strong, interesting premise. The kind that you explain and immediately you can start imagining how different the world would be based on that. So then you wait for new updates to get a glimpse of that, how the characters live in that world and what unique c…
i would ask why that person is shy in the first place and go from there. some people are just shy because they were born with a more cautious temperament so they need time to get used to something/someone new. someone like that probably isn't what you mean though. the kind of shy you speak of is pro…
Well, that would depend on what you're trying to say with all this. Are you just showcasing how destructive such a family situation can be (on top of other things)? Or are you aiming to show hope? The way I picture it, the story would then go on being about them trying to heal and as a result, mend …
I guess by... not presenting the dramatic as dramatic if that makes sense? Like, I'll be planning a page and dialogue and, to me, certain lines of dialogue hide certain meaning so I end up giving those panels bigger sizes and pace those parts slowly but, then, like... this is just a normal conversat…
....damn. that is pretty cool. i knew you can upload GIFs but i never considered the series banner. you may have just opened a pathway for a cool banner to be born from my noggin'.
Short answer: by not trying to. If you try to do it purposefully, that means you're thinking about techniques - clichés, tropes. And people who've read/seen a lot will notice they're being manipulated. You can sometimes hear about authors crying while drawing/writing a scene or expressing how di…
Makes sense. Though if an artist were to look for a writer, then yeah, I would say "pay the writer". Writers deserve to be paid, yo. I think you have good ideas in there that people overlook because artists have to deal with others acting entitled to their work. The exact execution of the thread …
i feel with @Kayke's approach the most. personally, i truly am at a loss sometimes on how to respond just cuz all i have in my head are feelings instead of actual thoughts i could put into words other than "thank you". which gets repetitive and boring quick. i have replied to some much later than…
YESSS!!! I'm so happy to hear that! I've wanted to tip people but my phone is too old to run the app :'D So I'm looking forward to that being a thing for the web~ Thank you guys very much!
See, a lot of times they all do have a narrative but also their names and bits of it all appear at once/quick succession. So if there's a bunch of people competing for screentime, I'll sooner tune the information out because idk what is important yet. A lot of time I end up invested way down the lin…
I hate when a lot of characters are introduced at once. Like... You can show 20 characters at once but don't expect me to learn their names at the same time? And don't use them all at once. It's a subjective thing sometimes cuz well I just won't remember randos who mean nothing to me. I like getting…
Yes. Redheads. I belong here. Strictly speaking, mine is a fake (read: dyed) but hey w/e >.> Her name's Kayna and she's the main character! [image]
an art jam could probably be re-created if a bunch of people gathered on Drawpile and messed around there =v= the canvas would have a set width and then the host just keeps expanding the height and discussing in the session's chat what could happen next or not. i can imagine doing this with a few co…
I was recently approached by a person from a site called "mangaido" which is a comic/art/novel sharing platform with a focus on translations. It seems new and small and idk whether it'll take off or not but that's something you can look into! I haven't tried it out proper yet myself.
omg yes i love improvement memes too this is good shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit i have a st.ash folder on dA where i keep drawings of same character side-by-side to see how differently i draw them after a few years. Here's one of Train Heartnet from Black Cat! 2017 vs 2010: [image] …
If it's just the art, then it might as well not be a comic at all :U A comic is a story-telling medium as far as I'm concerned whether you're telling the story of a person literally just rolling down a hill or going on a long, epic journey. Sequential art... So what the art has to be good at is not …
