comic is on hiatus until i finish my crab tournament entry
>>137348321WIPs
>>137348330
>>137348341And that's it. Dialogue needs retouch. A few things clicked recently which was nice.https://tapas.io/series/Wings-Of-Daera
>>137347707Working on my next page right now, like I do every morning.
Someone explain why I should do the crab thing next year. I've heard nothing but bad things about it.
>>137348341
>>137348422Some of the entries turned out good. Some. Round 3 and beyond just took a shit.
>>137348422Haven't been keeping up with it too much but from what I understand it's the same shit you're seeing here. Faggots who would rather stir up drama than draw.
>>137348341>I want to suck Asha's boobs
>>137348526I heard rumblings about Fred and how he sunk the tourney. I never browse /ic/ so I haven't been keeping up with the drama. Someone TLDR it for me?
>>137348543Not certain on the exacts of Fred but he's following the pattern of a fool who got suckered by a Narcc.
>>137348539Already made that joke.
>drama in the thread with bones>Drama in the tourney with Fred/Hyw/ just can't catch a break huh?
Reposting a WIP for an upcoming BST that I'm doing. Anyone here mini golf?
>>137348543Discord ran like shit. Turned to clique bullshit. Climaxed when some moefag left his criticisms and got a shitfest with some fag who just said "u juzt want to make pedo shit" or something.
>>137348712Did the people running shit not know how to spot an instigator or something?
>>137348755Isn't it run by one dude who's known for being super cliquey?
>>137348755To be fair, the moefag's criticisms were mostly sound. Shit like the lack of organized channels was burying announcements, group voting favored cliques, "entertaining" was too broad, etc, and he did provide ideas on how to fix it.When he left after getting shit from the other fags, it pretty much just devolved into wanking about each OC's power level and some /beg/-tier borderline-NSFW shit.
A drawing of myself needing a background. The second panel on hand
What we have both in /hyw/ and /crab/ is a pretty standard narcc infestation. They're people who hate themselves because they're pretty much worthless but instead of working on changing that they try to tear down anywhere that reminds them of what they are. Drawing threads are a perfect target for them because the people in them are usually more autistic than your average anon and are filled with people trying to improve. The methodology of the narcc is to isolate a target like bones or fred and drive them into an autistic tirade. People like them would be mostly innocuous without the narcc but with them it becomes an issue which keep in mind is the narcc's goal. They want to tear down the thread or at the very least make it insufferable for the anons who visit them. Noone has really done any research in how to fend off a narc but ridicule and shit like post your work seem to work pretty well at reavealing them. You should also look out for anyone who tries a "so you're saying" trick like >>137348712>Posts work>"So you're saying you just want to draw pedoshit?"It's real easy to make someone else look like shit if you get to decide what their arguments are and anyone in this thread should be aware of that. The tourney organizer should have banned that narcc in a heartbeat but since it's easier to blame a narcc's targets we wind up in a cycle of targets but nothing ever gets fixed.
>>137348526I'm a lurker rather than a participant myself, but this. Way too many retards who'd rather get their giggles from arguing over stupid shit than focusing on the tournament.>>137348543The ban evading underagefag was the least of the problems going on, unfortunately.
>>137348543when someone managed to make the tokeroom of all places kick you out, you know your an absolute colossal dipshit. Didn't keep track of the /crab/ tourney so hearing its not doing well with round 3 onward is alittle disappointing.
>>137348366Page 53 is done.
>>137349078It's doing well enough. I'm part of it. Yes there is drama. That's intrinsic to 4chan. No there are no cliques, just people who participate on the discord or not. I don't think people understand what clique means. No one is mad if you don't join the discord. Yes the organizing could have been improved, Amy-anon criticisms were (mostly) right. But it's not as this is some professional project, it was bound to have fuck ups. I'm having fun with it. I know for certain many are not. I doubt the posters above me talking shit about it are from anyone really participating. It's just the good ol trying to make drama on 4chan by any means necessary. Never understood the purpose of it.>>137348578>>137348539>>137348444
>>137349155I mean to say I know for certain many ARE having fun, fuck proofreading 4chan posts.I probably wont say more since I suspect this is yet another shitposter attempt to start le community drama zzzzzzz. Tournament is fun, flawed, that's it.
>>137349155>No there are no cliques,Shit like the "ywn sexo w Bellboy" and "Hey fellas, it's Honkita anon..." would like a word.
>>137349259How is that a clique? That's popular characters.
>>137349155/hyw/ got overrun by a group of trolls who were claiming that anyone not in their discord must have some sort of issue with them. So /hyw/ did get attacked by a discord clique that turned at least four threads into a fucking warzone. I think anons are just using what they know about here to fill in the gaps with what's going on with the /crab/.
>>137349292I have not a clue what you are talking about. You are making shit up. What discord? What trolls? Give names.
>>137349155I was legitimately asking because I heard about Fredanon and he popped in the toke room last night and got instant banned. Just wondering what his deal was. Didn't intend to start drama.
>>137349304>give me the names of anonsExcuse me, what?I have no fucking clue who the trolls were. I just know some fucking discord mods came through here and trying to moderate the boards. It's why people have been going on about discord in the art boards recently.
>>137349155interesting ither way. Maybe I could participate next time but I find my kind of work output far too low to upkeep nowadays.>>137349320afaik hes repeatedly appeared in /i/ and I think /ic/ to self promote himself and his oc, at first it came off as a tongue and cheek sort of troll but it turned out they're more earnest/underaged. Im no fred-loreist but I suppose the jist is 'cringy kid dose cringy shit and gets pissy they're called cringy.' Most of the messages where removed but from what I can gather from the talk had was he threw a shit fit and lashed out on an alt after being kicked the first time. So enough about fred and more art/comics to be posted, I should re-draw some older stuff ive done im disappointed in.
>>137349155>No there are no cliques, just people who participate on the discord or notI think one of the strangest things working against this notion is that when I mentioned that I was a spectator, the only replies were surprise and curiosity about my opinion, as if the idea that there couldn't be new interest from people outside the ingroup was ingrained into the thread.>But it's not as this is some professional project, it was bound to have fuck ups.Sure, but what made moefag's whining relevant was how basic sone of the shit was. Shit like keeping a separate announcement channel is basic and takes less than two minutes to set up.>I doubt the posters above me talking shit about it are from anyone really participating.I do want to participate. Later, when I'm certain it won't be a waste of my time, and when I can provide something entertain the rest of the people there after having some time to work on my art beyond "this is my WIP OC he fan turn into cthulu and has a rage mode.">>137349172>I probably wont say more since I suspect this is yet another shitposter attempt to start le community drama zzzzzzzLook, if you don't want to talk, that's fine. I won't post after this too unless you reply. But don't pull this weaksauce shit of "you can't possibly want to say anything unless you want DRAMA and DRAMA is le bad because I am having fun and do not care what you think, bad actor." It reads like bad damage control.
>>137349429And how do you know they are discord mods if you dont know who they are? Did they go around inviting people to their discords? I always frequent the threads and never saw that happening.The last oh so entertaining drama was Xay defending bones and trying to drive the community while being new, are you refering to that? Even there there was 0 mention of any clique.
>>137349459Yeah it was right after that. Xay effectively got them to admit that they were trying to drive the boards themselves. I think it was the very next thread that shit hit the fan.>"Oh you don't like are discord are you the person who posted loli feet pic"
>>137349441>I think one of the strangest things working against this notion is that when I mentioned that I was a spectator, the only replies were surprise and curiosity about my opinion, as if the idea that there couldn't be new interest from people outside the ingroup was ingrained into the thread.Yes. Because its weird to get attention as an artist and even more in an artist event no one knows anything about. But what would be the clique then? Anyone participating in the tournament? Is that the clique? Think about it. If that's the clique then who's complaining?Also, the tournament was open for absolutely anyone so what kind of clique is that?>what made the moefag shit relevantyeah again, agree with much of his rant. Some are impossible to deal with, most I expect to improve next time.Any oc can be fun, its reasonable if you want to polish yours before joining though.>damage controlThere is no damage control. Look at every thread here for the last years. There is actively attempts to create le community drama and desperate attempts to drag people into that. It's tiresome and the only reason I am replying is because these threads are fucked up beyond repair anyways. Anonimity also means I cannot know how sincere you are in this discussion, if you truly think anything of what you say or is all an effort to cause more of that wow so dramatic bullshit. I'm discussing it, so its not drama control, I have been clear I agree the tournament is faulty. I just think bringing the discussion here might be another attempt to ruin hyw (hard mode, since its already trash as its now).
>>137349487Ok but what is the clique there? Xay's server? I don't remember them promoting any.What is a clique to you? Maybe we are just having very different definitions and that's why I'm completely lost at whatever you are talking about.
I somehow end up drawing all the controversial characters of /i/ic/co/ before i know anything about em. i consider it a document of my experiences!
>>137349519No. the server attacked Xay because he was giving advice and trying to make connections with other artists. He got into a huge flame war with them where at the end they started claiming Xay was trying to run the boards. The thing is the same faggots who got into a war with Xay were constantly talking about how great the discord they were in was and how other people were so not invited to it. So that's why the whole discord clique thing happened.
>>137349543>because he was giving advice and trying to make connections with other artists.Found you Xay because that wasnt what happened. You were sucking Bones' dick too hard and everyone told you to GTFO
>>137349543Two separate things there. People talked about Betz and Bones not being invited to the discord, and people complained about Xay and gave him shit. There was never any "Xay is not on the discord so fuck him" narrative, your mind is making that shit up. People got mad because he was clearly new and trying to take the reigns. Personally I liked it but him defending bones spam (pretty sure it was him) would understandably irritate anons.
>>137349583>People talked about Betz and Bones not being invited to the discordWhich fucking Discord? There are so many fucking discords out there.>Neo-/hyw/>KAW>IWC (dead)>Neo-IWC/CBT (living corpse)>Toke Room>some other server I don't know the name ofIt's a fucking mess
>>137349503>Because its weird to get attention as an artist and even more in an artist event no one knows anything about.That's not how that convo went. I only brought it up to give context about why someone might dislike the setup but still stick around, which was relevant to some retard trying that whole "Don't like it? LEAVE" seething.(Rest of the paragraph is just smarmy faggotry, so I'm skipping it).>Also, the tournament was open for absolutely anyone so what kind of clique is that?Are you purposefully being stupid?Open registration is not what a clique makes. A clique operates through how it communicated with its own members. Same shit applies to pretty much every small forum on the internet today. Registration is open, but the "old guard" is so lenient with each other and protective of their community that it makes shit unwelcoming.>There is actively attempts to create le community drama and desperate attempts to drag people into thatPut down the tinfoil hat for a moment and realize that you came into a thread where people weren't really saying shit other than "there was drama, a moefag was upset about how it was run, then there was a lot of fighting," only to give an 'everything is fine' speech and disingenuously imply that people only wanted to start drama. You chose to escalate a couple tl;dr posts into a full-on argument. And even now you can't help but try to make passive-aggressive little potshots like "I cannot know how sincere you are in this discussion," because just saying 'yeah, but who cares' is too much. Apparently there MUST be some bad actor here. Apparently there MUST be some antagonist to this story.Textbook projection, dude.>I just think bringing the discussion here might be another attempt to ruin hyw.Don't try to argue that people only criticize shit to try and ruin it. Don't be that guy.That's the last I'm going to comment. I don't want to drag this shit out all thread.
>>137349717>(Rest of the paragraph is just smarmy faggotry, so I'm skipping it).I'm skipping the rest of your response then too for being a faggot.>>137349691Agree.
>>137349583Alright. I'll clear things up here. I've had alot of "so you're saying" fags trying to create my arguments for me so I understand there being confusion from anons who want to know what's going on.Never defended bones spam. Told the anons to fuck off because they were breaking 4chan rule number one by focusing on him too much and turning the whole thing into a shitfest. If you think I'm wrong point out where I say that the whole board should be nothing but bones. Yes I even admitted that I understood it would irritate anons but it still needed to be said. I got ignored about it and if you were here last thread you know how thhat turned out.There was definitely some sort of discord shit going on. some anons would not shut up about it and >>137349487 pretty sure loli feet pic thing was directed at an anon. I was considering joining one but after that shit I need to be sure that it's one that's actually focused around art and not drama bullshit.Taking over the board. Another thing I never claimed to be doing and never tried to do. I gave advice to people because some anons were talking about how this thread sorely needed it and I have spent a large amount of time building up technical knowledge and just need to work on the practical.My purpose for being here is to do two things build up my own skills and make contacts with people who are worth my time. When twitter released it's algorithm it gave me some insights into how to game the system but I need to filter out the bad actors before getting into that.>In before BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE YOU....I'm going to ignore bad actors and "so you're saying" faggots after this and any good faith anon should do the same.
>>137349691Of course the clique isn't going to say which discord they're from because then anons would ridicule them for the faggots they are.
I had an autistic idea of making a character based off of a Daruma doll but im stumped on giving it a buddhism based power. What should I do?
>How long do you spend on each release? When you do release, how long does it take for you to begin working on the next one?4-5 weeks but I've cut down on that already, I'm getting a little faster as I get the hang of it.>Bonus TQ: Did you have any underwater scenes in your comic before Mermay?No but there will be in the future
>>137349840Don't know but my first thought of Buddhism and power are the Ikki. They were these militant Buddhists monks in Japan that were so badass that they were able kick out an entire samurai clan out of a Province and take it over for themselves which was the only area in Japan during the sengoku era not to be ruled by samurai. The longest siege in Japanese history occurred when oda nobunaga tried to take a fortress monastery of their's and took it 11 years for him to do so.

>>137351732how fucking dare you.
>TQ: How long do you spend on each release? When you do release, how long does it take for you to begin working on the next one?Hard to say, since the outlining/ writing takes up the bulk of my time, and by the time I start drawing, I'm working off an outline that I finished months ago. I've gotten faster at the illustrating end of it, though, and can comfortably pump out a page or two a day if I have the time.>Bonus TQ: Did you have any underwater scenes in your comic before Mermay?No!

>>137352624
These last few pages have been fun. Though I do miss drawing action scenes. >>137352768Nice linework. Though I'd say to be a bit more mindful of the perspective. The bricks look like they're extremely long. There needs to be a little bit of foreshortening. Additionally I'd say, you'll save time and bit sanity if you dialed back the background detail to only draw what is necessary and the rest can be a bit more abstract. Drawing every brick isn't necessary, trust me, I used to do that :V
>>137353422>With the perspective linesThanks Anon your stuff is kino btw. I know I fucked it up a bit because I started using the perspective lines AFTER my sketch. I learned alot from pushing myself for this page and I plan on implementing a few things including drawing up my own texture templates so that any details still match the rest of my work.
>>137351927I actually don't have to. As they are daily, I know the date they were made because of the start date of the comic, and the current date.>One 30 page comic chapter per month.Page 53>>137349108Is the 53rd day since April 1st.>When there are 31 days in a month, I simply don't draw that day. (February we will see when I get there.)(Also I have the file creation dates, and publish dates on ComicFury.)https://tapas.io/episode/2852311>>137352768Just at the top in the margin. It wouldn't be over the comic. I might consider an actual signature, or just a username or something.
>>137353722You know. something like a bar at the top with a logo and where to find your work may not be a terrible idea if you think your stuff may get shared over social media. It's not something to be super concerned about so early but if you can make it easy on yourself I could see it bringing traffic to your comic from other sites later down the line.
>>137353351Natty-tier comic.
Finished up my 1st chapter a few days ago. Here's a panel. I've been writing it for maybe the last 4+ years and to finally see it on paper, actually drawn, is surreal to me.
>>137354069Pretty nice.I believe that's done in CSP? The "action lines" in the first panel look a bit jaggy. There's a setting for that.If you downscale it later in the export, it may also remove it, but it may not work for every line.
8 months have passed since i updated but the chapters are 40-50 pages long, my problem is that i dont work alone so we wait for the otehr one to finish their part
>>137353895I doubt anyone is sharing my comic anywhere.But yeah, that is probably worth doing.
>>137355422What's your comic?

Dumping first four pages of my series Platinum Point. 2-parting this shit because putting together the scans is a pain in the ass, and the thread needs a bump.

>>137358079Has a nice stlye and an interesting concept. even if the comic from the perspective of the bad guys has been played out a bit. Only advice I would have is find a way to make yours stand out a bit from the other comedy villian comics. Other that that this is absolutely on point and you have me intrigued. Will keep an eye on where this is going.
Little quick look behind the scenes
>>1373579403+4/4Really not liking how the beginning of page 3 turned out. Shit looks kindergarten (pencils didn't want to blend), will need to redo that later, but the main cast is all together now, and the banter makes this somewhat redeemable.By now it should be apparent that anything supernatural is colored-in.>>137358216Thank you!

>>137364359Sadly at my soulles factory job people sperg at me for even fucking daydreaming so no i cant
Busy coloring the last 3 pages for chapter 1 of the Starry Ladders. We're almost there!>>137362864Nice! Can't wait to see what you've been cooking!>>137364359Everytime I have the opportunity!
>>137366217Oops, forgot pic rel.
>>137366231Looking good, your style is really forming.
>>137363773Oh cool, I started reading it today. I like the premise!
>>137361783paint, its the normal tiny pencil, csp and SAI have a "binary" pencil very similar, pixely
>>137366263Happy to hear that!
>>137358079I lied this is going to need at least 3 pages but so far really fun to do WIPs wise
>>137366636
>>137347707Coming soon, Zipper and his dad.Bald Cypress owns a car dealership.
>>137366251Thanks anon, I appreciate that!
>>137368265daddy bun looks like trotsky!
Oi inking in progress
>>137370116
>>137368265Actually really funny, nice one.
btw, the panels I've been posting are like a month in advance. :^)
Why does Swords only pay to boost some of his comics on Reddit?
>>137372177Because he's based af
>>137372177Who's swords
>>137372177Because he can't afford to pay to boost all of them.

Question: how is “webcomic” defined re: applicability to this thread?Currently it’s becoming pretty clear that the standard webcomic format is not going to cut it with one of my projects, so I was wondering if illustrated text narratives/text interspersed with occasional comic elements would still be welcome here.
>>137350265yo this coloring is siiick
>>137374016Honestly, I just want more stuff/progress posted so I'd say yeah it's fine
Anyone got a link to the neo hyw discord?

>TQDoes "I plan on making a character almost drown in a river in 30-or-so pages" count?
>>137373334Thanks. Here's my idea for the Vol 3 cover. the old version is way too busy and more of a promo poster. Your art and coloring is looking pretty pro yourself m8.>>137374085>>137350265>yo this coloring is siiickagree
>>137373815For real though, he has 24k reddit followers.
>>137375608bump
>>137376509>tfw terra killed the thread
>>137375608Unsurprising, since Sword Comix is specifically curated to be as Reddit as possible.
>>137377163As an addendum, this isn’t even an insult, he was pretty open about it.
>>137376509i would make fun for that heavy coat of perlin noise but i do the same thing lmao.that shit is like a drug
>>137376509One note for you Terra, the picture isn't bad but there's definitely some perspective stuff that could be fixed on Renata laying on the hill. She doesn't seem to be laying at the same angle the hill is going and the lack of shadow underneath her make it look like she's floating or something. Also if it were me I would've made a couple of layers sloping upwards into the hill of the rendered grass. Y'know, like fade it into the hill if that make sense. It's all the same shit I'm having to learn as well.
>>137376509It's cute and I see improvement in figures. You could graduate to light & color next. Keep it up!
>>137376509>tfw you finally find the Windows XP hill
Alright this thread looks more alive so here's the complete insult exchange: https://pufferandclarissa.com/
>>137379934https://pufferandclarissa.com/
>>137379944One thing I've notice is that for better or worse the more praise you receive the less genuine advice and criticism comes your way. Probably due to people feeling they don't have room to talk about your work.
>>137379944He's just grabbing a mook's sword?
>>137380555The mook passed it to him
>>137371963this may be a dumb question but how do you do your backgrounds? I love the artwork overall
Having a lot of fun working on this chapter>>137351927>>137374085>>137374919Thank you!
>>137377921Fuck off betz
Today's page 55.
>>137381140>mfw I see clussy
>>137381557I would honk Bibi's horns if you know what I mean
>>137381647No clue what this could possibly mean
>>137377921Don't follow advice from retards like betz if you want to succeed.
Ugh, inking is a slog.
>>137376509Lol mocked by everyone again. Stay away for good this time you hobo
>>137376509now that im home and giving it a better look I got to agree of the few faults I did see. Reminds me that I need to work on the same things myself, its still lovely to look at and wish I got a better grasp at coloring>Don't follow advice from retards li-the advice is sound no matter who says it, which reminds me that I need to press onward for some art instead of doodling
I -WILL- FINISH MY FIRST REAL COMIC PAGE -TODAY-I WILL -MAKE- IT HAPPENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>137384415GIVE ANON YOUR ENERGY!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>137384415>>137384582AAAHHHHHHHHH
>>137384356Fuck off already. Nothing you say will ever be valid
>>137384846>not giving anon their energyGTFO Dramafag.
>>137384846>he doesn't energysharemaxx NGMI
>>137384302Fuck off betzfag
>>137376509Why does this image have a "film grain" filter?You should turn that down to like 20% of what it is now. Maybe less.
>>137377452Also, my bones detector went off on this post.
>>137376509why is this so harshly question this drawing yet praise others for less ambitious less competent stuff? the whiplash is unreal
>>137385312her thumb is as long as her other fingers
>>137384415HHHAAAHHHHHHHHH!>Fuck off already. Nothing you say will ever be validAbsolutely buck broken. The criticism wasent even that harsh and they still nipped it>>137385312Fuck if I know, I get fans having to defend an artists 'honor' or some shit but this is too 'notice me sempai' for me. Getting second hand cringe.>>137385257I havent even noticed till you brought it up, might of been experimental so I overlooked it/ didnt care about it.
>>137385355The thumb's primary two segments should be about the same length as the pinky and should form slight bump for the "knuckle" where it meets the thumb side palm. The real issue is that they don't have a thumb side palm or a wrist for that matter.
>>137385520
>>137385312Terra is improving and can get better the more advice he gets. There is no point critiquing or trying to help the ngmis.
>>137385312Partially because the artist has expressed wanting to improooove while also being frustrated with what they saw as lack of progress. The feedback is for the most part genuine, but I'm sure their are some shitposters looking to dramafag there.>>137376509Overall a tough pose to nail, but going for it is commendable. The grain is a non-issue for me because I'm not an autistic digitalfag, and because the anatomy/ perspective jumps out as the more important factor to work on. Keep on grinding and challenging yourself with stuff like this.
>>137385623I shouldn't have to define length for you anon.
>>137385610This rules
>>137385661>>137385692Nowhere in that post is he asking for advice
>>137385312Crit is what it's all about. You're not going to go anywhere with your art if you can't take a hit.
>>137385797stop shitposting.
>>137385797Lurk moar, newfag
>>137385866 where does it say “tear this drawing apart”? that’s all that’s going on>>137385692he’s known to be severely depressed. I doubt this is helping
>>137385623>>137385703>Thumb part twoThe thumb in this picture is the right length it's just in the wrong place due to the aforementioned lack of thumb side palm and knuckle. Right side is me dropping it down to it's proper position in paint. >>137385844You're right and good critique involves a rundown of what's wrong and should give a direction to go to improve on the issue to the best of the critics ability.
Out of curiosity, what comics in your opinion have good paneling? I've been reading the Dresden Files comic by Carlos Gomez and my god. I know that man is known for his (rather based) horny baits but he's really good at paneling too!
>>137385938All good advice helps.>>137385844This.
>>137386048Mine obviously.
>>137385703okay the ring finger is longer than the middle finger
>>137386107>Anon Is getting better at identifying issues with hands.GOOD! Now can you tell me what should be changed to fix it?
>>137386078unsolicited advice has never been helpful to anyone

This is a laying in grass thread now! Post your laying in grass pics!
>>137386212>>137386405Why are you so hung up on this? Crit and feedback is part and parcel with the thread, get over it.
>>137386405Fuck off betz. Stop stalking anons.
>>137386567The only person you outskill in this thread is the rainbow etch a sketch guy.
>>137386743You think I'm better than Moony? Not really sure on that one.
any tips for making my own web comic.
>>137386971Yes.
>>137386743Hey those are fighting words.Nah, jk the art in my comic is barely tolerable even to me.>>137386869Thanks, but I'm sure your art is fine.>For the record can do competent art, just not for my comic or freehand. I was much better in high school.I've been learning 3d. Here is my first "real attempt".
>>137387292>I'm sure your work is fine.Well you would know>>137352768The pic they were "critiquing" was drawn about a year ago and using the other kind of mousefaggotry.>The 3DLooks pretty darn cool. Is the name of that airship the "Soaring Moon?"
>>137387407No, it would be a generic model aeroship.My universe has a wiki.>https://keygemin.fandom.com/You will want to start here.>https://keygemin.fandom.com/wiki/Map:UnaIt's the coolest thing there.>A zoomable world map.Pic related, is one of Una's fruits.
>>137387630Your world map nearly crashed my potato of a PC. Was pretty cool though. First think I checked out was the "Beatships"
>>137388094It is unwieldly.Imagine, I have to edit the fucking thing.>It takes 4 minutes to load in inkscape.>I have 64GB of RAM and a 3060ti
So my story centers around psychics kinda like scanners, the way that you can tell someone is a psychic if they have this weird barcode type symbol on their body. I wanted to give them a devil fruit user type weakness but im kinda stumped on it. Does this sound retarded?
>>137388458Their weakness should be magnets.
>>137380940All you need to find are suitable brushes.
>>137388458Execution matters way more than concept. In fact having a wacky concept can help your story stand apart if you know what you're doing. As far as weaknesses go I could list off ideas>Ritualistic tics>Requiring a specific source of energy>Something Kryptonite-esqueIn the end it's going to be up to you to decide which way to go with your concept though.
>>137388529holy shit that's lazy af. I used to think you were a great renderer before learning your process.
>>137388578Thanks! I'm glad you thought that.
>>137388578You didn't know he was using texture brushes? Quality is based on the result not the process used to get there anon.
>>137388578Kek you tool
>>137388685I don't need my art published. If Anons like it, I'm cool with it.
>Xay and Moon chatting pushes /hyw/ into popular threads.Where did things go so wrong?
Just lemme buy my hair products plz
>>137388929
>>137388606I thought he was a skilled draftsman, not a lazy pre-made brush spammer.
>>137389105I don't even draw my own stuff. I let the computer do that. All I do is move my hand across the tablet and the lines appear.
>>137388729I don't like it
>>137388578...The visual background noise was what impressed you with that guy's art? Okay then.>>137388606>Quality is based on the result not the process used to get thereSo Terra is one of the best artist's here, his process being paying Krump.
>>137390605joke aside, he is indeed one of the better artists. for sure in the bottom of the top 10.
>>137384415>>137384582>>137384642YOU GOT THIS, ANON!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The first pages of the Starry Ladders are out now!https://thestarryladders.thecomicseries.com/comics/2New pages get uploaded every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!
>>137376509Actually a great drawing. There are issues, yes, but those are mostly nitpicks as no one produces a perfect work.
Going to drop an art myself this morn'>>137391540fantastic work lad>>137393251Serious Beatles: Yellow Submarine vibes, bueno.
>>137380514I mainly get critique through comments on the site itself. A few pages have character drawn too tall, etc that I altered slightly before printing the first book.
>>137388854>In Breaking News: People use 4chan to do the thing it was designed to do.Also starting work on next page.
>>137386971yes don't be a drama fag. we have enough already
>>137395246Only bonez and betz
>>137395620Thats two too many
Boring week, also a pretty boring comic
>>137373319MY! why would you want to kill this perfectly nice, normal human being?(I love this)
>>137393251Nice I Love that album.
>>137395213I wasn't working this entire time (chores and whatnot), but I finally got page 56 done.
>>137396426I think that last bit of text could use some polishing up. I understand the rings and difficulty but don't fully know what you're trying to explain about levels and drops.
>>137396746That is more or less intentional.It was worded that way to express an experienced player explaining the game to a noob.>I'll make sure that Xav asks clarifying questions on later pages, maybe even the next page.Which is where the reader will get an expositional onslaught panel like this.
>>137396887>Additionally, Autumn overexplaining is part of her character's personality. Unknown to the reader, there is a reason she knows alot of minute details about the game.Not that I'm sure anyone here actually cares about the nuance of my storytelling.>Equipment drops from rings are a random rank between 1 and the ring number where the equipment dropped.Realm task panels show this.
Selling prints of my comic at a thing, any advice?
>>137397211>Say hello to everyone who walks by, and pitch your comic to them>don't be smelly>max out your hygiene and wear nice clothing
>>137397211going to double up on >>137397248's advice and add a little more. Ive sold at some things and not being stinky, having others around who arent stinky, being friendly, and maybe this isnt possible last minute but having "extra" stuff to throw in with purchases like "and get a free sticker" works.
>>137397211Definitely eye contact and being approachable. I went to the local comic market but as a turboautist couldn't find a good opening to talk about anything on the table.
>>137394138>>137396268Thanks for the kind words, anons. Stay excited, because this is all just the beginning!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPbNpIG8x_s
>>137360298Source?
>>137397793No problem
>>137359065Redid page 3 because HOLY FUCK did I hate that top row.Better detailing, actually partially showing off why the human-hands on the aliens are fucked up (full explanation later), allusion that Salvia's powers are dream-related, and a bit of banter to better show why she's disappointed at getting cockblocked out of a second wave.Drawing smug cats is always fun.
I'm second guessing these "clubs" the Watch use. Perhaps a simple baton would do just as well. >>137374264Damn, ded link. I missed out U_U
>>137400288>Forgot to add the background fix for bottom middle panel to make it consistently orangeFuck
>>137357329WIPs? Did someone say WIPs?i skipped to a more fun page. Some real self-insert shenanigans going on in this sequence.
>>137400392that's a crack pipe
So what do you guys listen to while you work?Me, I’ve been catching up on Critical Role.
>>137401243Usually either Cruel Angel's Thesis on endless loop, or documentaries about ancient civilizations and esoteric mystery religions. I'm working on this piece for the Oi volume 3 cover. Any critique is appreciated, I've been working on it for some hours now so could use some fresh eyes and advice on what to do next. The title text will go in the middle below Dana's hands and above the cat.
https://tapas.io/episode/2854840Updated>>137396426I will give your comic a try soon.
Here also is a lame sketch that I’ll redraw in like six years.>>137401243If it isn’t a friendship simulator podcast, it’s one of these songs on repeat:https://youtu.be/ihpgk4xwjVQhttps://youtu.be/uqcTVVUFnKQhttps://youtu.be/haCOU64qCo4
>>137396426I like the color palette
WIP on a character design because color is my bugbear and I'm still getting the hang of it on even a babby level.In the mean time, though, is this design too...busy?
>>137402538I like it, but it also looks like it’ll be hell to draw for panels and panels on end.
>>137401528Oh no, they’re cute!
>>137401470Glad to hear that someone is reading it.>>137402298There are exactly 18 colors in the palette.Many more if you count abuse of transparency.
>>137402683They go together like donuts and diabetes!
>>137402607Yeah, I’m probably going to end p paring down the details significantly. I don’t have to draw her in the comic for a good bit longer, though, so I have time to make adjustments.
This one took a while. I should do less backgrounds.
>>137403062I really need to read this one of these days.
>>137402814How does a 900 pixel image still have ant resolution?

this is great yo
>>137404643It always offputs me when people try to use their own comic/characters as reaction pics.
>>137405643why?
>>137405669It just seems a bit... I can't find the right term for it... forced? Egocentric? I don't know how to simplify it, but it seems a bit like someone desperately wanting to force their creation into some meme culture and use it as free advertising, hoping people spread it.I don't know. Maybe I'm too cynical after seeing five-too-many corporations try to coopt some meme template for their own product and just over-appreciate the selfless nature of third parties more typically responsible for these kinds of meme templates, sharing something because they like it even though it helps them out none.
>>137405763If you think THAT'S bad, try getting used to people using their own avatars to make reaction imagesReally makes you think...
>>137405763You're definitely right about people doing it to make their product sell or using meme culture as free advertising but most anons here just do it for fun. It's just about making a funny image in this case.
>>137405777Checked, and at least avatarfagging can be reported.>>137405778I don't think just using a template is funny, but I'm also turning into a grumpy old fuck so who cares?
>>137405643But it gives us gold

>>137405763Anon..are you suggesting that psychological operations may be afoot?
>>137406136Requesting an edit of the bottom two in kippahs.
>>137405763What if you post a reaction of your character/your comic that isn’t derived from a template?
>>137406176That's a little more respectable, since it's at least something you thought of instead of just piggybacking.
>>137406171>That's racist. They worship primarily Crom Cruach. Please do not invalidate their rich and beautiful Irish culture, anon.>>137406176Simply impossible.

Guys this thread has been uncharacteristically chill for an entire 24 hours let’s not ruin that streak.
>>137406026
I can’t fucking sleep. Might as well fuck up my sleep hygiene even worse and go work on some pages, I guess.
>>137406273Took a few minutes to sketch my answer because it's funnier that way. Art's shit because I didn't put any effort into it.
i already have a base skeleton for the lore/plot of muh comic(s series). It's mainly gonna take place in fred's little house, where weird and whacky stuff happens sometimes, oh and sometimes he goes outside and has to deal with a completely alien world to him.
>>137405643>>137406768>>137406176
>>137405643There is difference between having fun with your passion project and shoving it down everyone's throat. Copying corporate mY-Le-bRanD autitude is understandable. "See, it worked for them, and it will for me, with enough elbow greese", right? The thing is, this will not end well or not in the way you want, simply because:1) there are 7mil of us running around, having the internet and seeking for happines and attention2) while there are places where being obnoxious autismo pays with clicks - imageboard is not one of them, because3) humans can recognise pandering and simply seek for validation (you are weird/normal as I am, thus I feel better about myself). Pushing shit on a fellow anon without ounce of respect can get you only so far.4) monetizing people attention works for brands, because media platforms are rigged beforehand to the companies favor. As you can see youself, it still isn't fool proof. Long story short, if someone feel like becoming a "cool web celebrity", he should be ready to put on that clown nose and get kicked around.

>>137407312Hey Oi, >>137402538Here. Your characters can have a lot of detail going for them; is there any secret to keeping redrawing for different panels/consistency manageable?

>>137401243If I really want to get in the zone, I'll listen to classical music while working. Either random playlists, or BBC radio 3. I can't really listen to podcasts or more intrusive music until later in the inking stages, but I'll put on Therapy Gecko or LPOTL Side Stories, and WFMU is my go- to for music.>>137401463Looks really good>>137401528>friendship simulator podcastThe Adam Friedland show has been making me laugh, in part because it's so extremely low- effort.>>137406273Nice>Does your oc have tattoos?Yes, but I keep them covered cause I'm a hack.

>Mornin Anons>Mornin Moony>Mornin... Fred?>>137405963Okay Since I have a history of touching subjects I shouldn't and since it's important to say I guess I'll comment. You've been hit hard Fred and it's likely that some of the anons here will want to make you into the next bones. I understand falling for the trap especially since you're still a kid so I'll give you the best advice I have. Apologize to anons for freaking out and ignore the dramafags who try to push you into having a reaction. This thread is currently in the process of being cleaned up so just sit back, work on you comic, and don't make a mess.
>>137406026Not from my comic but I made this yesterday.
>>137396746Page 57 is done. If you are still in the thread, tell me what you think of this.

>>137409806My man, I'm all about fun, that is literally pointed in the first sentence. You do you. The rest is adressed to tryhards. You know the type - the i'm-gonna-hit-big-just-you-see posers.
>>137409806At least put your trip back on.
>>137412046I don't have my trip saved on my phone.
>>137411148thanks for the advice! will take to hearttripping up not gonna be posting or working on muh comic since i will be going to another city soon.
>>137411148>it's likely that some of the anons here will want to make you into the next bonesNobody is "made into" a lolcow like Bones. If you weren't a newfag you'd know there have been several attempts to force posters into meme status- and it never sticks. Guys like Bones and Fred do it to themselves by lacking any self- awareness and continuously sperging out, despite people telling them not to. We don't have to do anything for Fred to "become the next Bones," he mapped that route out himself
>>137412849I thought Fred was perma’d for being underage.
>>137412849Speaking of that fag, anyone appreciate how the moment he leaves, we have a bunch of people posting their own comics?
>newfaggot namefaggot tripfaggots have learned nothing from all the newfaggot namefaggot tripfaggots who have come before them and are still shitting up the thread with their self-important bullshit>wankfag reaction image spam>betz still desperately trying to be an integral part of le community>bones is still bones>discord trannies>crab tranniesmaybe next thread will be better? jk
>>137413268We are united in our hatred of betz
>>137413268>>discord tranniesRent free
>>137413323Someone post the "trannies don't live rent free, they kick down the door" screencap.
>>137413323yes we know you still live with your parents
>>137413268This thread was fine up until the last few hours, tho?
>>137413402no
>>137413410It was, objectively. People were posting and discussing work with minimal shitposting until you showed up. Like, you’re part of the problem, dude
>>137413472The problem is always Betz. He needs to gtfo permanently.
>>137413472no
>>137413268Puapka literally doesn't post here
>>137413566Also bones is "gone", clearly>>137413268didn't read the thread.
>>137413566shut up poopka
>>137413566>>137413632Poopka is literally an autistic who was groomed by cancrizans into becoming a tranny on discord. He will never be a woman.
>>137412960That shit is never that hard to get around, even for someone like Fred.>>137413167Yeah, this has been one of the better threads in a while
>>137413566>>137413673discordtrannies doesn't mean literal trannies you good for nothing autistic swine
>>137413268Ok
>>137413828you look almost exactly like that betz
>>137413755You will never be a woman. Discord IA famously full of trannies and feds.
>>137414149Fuck off, Betz.
>>137414167I can't imagine that his dysgenic spawn will know much of anything but somebody should probably warn her while her burden as a future single mother is still manageable.
>>137414391He’s already wasting money on stupid comics and ignoring her while she’s on the verge of giving birth, I think by know she should realize she made a huge mistake.
>>137414562Stupid comics he can't afford. On second thought maybe we should just let this play out. I think the inflated cost of diapers and formula in conjunction with economic decline might just save these threads.
>>137414612Don't most women breast feed now? Diapers will break the fucking bank, though. Once we didn't have to buy those things anymore it was like getting a raise.
>>137414661some women just can't breatfeed, so you really can't count on that, and besides, since her hubby keeps wasting money she'll have to join the workforce before the first year.
>>137414391>>137414562>>137414612>>137414661>>137414734Genuinely, go outside and touch grass, absolute mongrels. Nobody cares about this TMZ-like bullshit and gossip. If you want mandrama, go to >>>/pw/ or something?
Betz is mass reporting these posts to the tranny jannies. We now know he fears his baby mama learning of his online faggotry.
>>137415759Can you shut up about Trannies?
>>137415815nta, but 9 times out of 10 the only people who care about someone being called a "tranny" are trannies.
>>137415604just as I thought the thread was getting better. Sub- room temp IQ tards need to go back to youtube for their drama
>>137415815You will never be a woman. Seethe.
>>137415850Good.
Can we perhaps make sure this thread doesn't devolve into a bunch of autistic monkeys screeching and throwing shit at each other again, please? Just this once?
>>137415988i don't think betz is leaving no
>>137416063It doesn't matter, you'd do best to just ignore the cunt and keep the thread on-topic. (You)s are all Betz values, do not give them to him.Seriously, this is fucking primary school-level shit.
>>137416131>Just ignore the tormenter, and he'll go awayPrimary-school level shit is realizing that this is a line of shit meant to placate students so that teachers don't need to step in and risk a lawsuit from one of the parents, while serving as a justification for victim blaming under the guise of "zero tolerance policies" when victim eventually retaliates.
>>137416190Unless you can physically go over to Betz and kick his ass, there's no reason to pay him any attention, is my point.
>>137416215Never say never.
>>137416215Betz is more hated than coldfusion at this point, and it's hilarious.
>thread going well>mental midgets start shitposting about an irrelevant jobberShitposters are so disingenuous it disgusts me. It's like getting a glimpse into the mind of a NGMI: making their own shortcomings everyone else's problem.
>>137416311YOU'RE TELLIN' ME
>>137415988No, it was going too well and that makes the CIA nervous. They've deployed their most capable retards to bring the average thread IQ back down to a level they're comfortable with.
>>137416340Welp, if that's the case, guess there's no time like the present to leave the bickering primitives to their shit-throwing and work on this panel I'm trying to finish, then.No point in wasting my time with a hopeless cause.
>>137416384Good luck, I'm going to try to squeeze in some work tonight
I already worked on my comic today. It's time to shitpost.
rip hyw
>>137416576Who could have made this post?
>>137416384Okay.Then stop bitching about people talking about breastfeeding and work on your comic, hypocrite retard.Post the last panel you worked on.
>>137415604>>137415988>>137416311>>137416331>>137416384You've done more bitching than the people you avatarfags are whining about.Post your comics or gtfo.

These threads don't belong on /co/ you should all move to reddit or tumblr. I'm tired of seeing this eyesore in the catalogue. you "people" are a joke and a waste of space. No one aside from (you) and your close little discord friends are going to give a shit about your webcomic. You can trace your characters over meme after meme and its never going to catch on. Truly the most sad and pathetic "artist's" the internet has to offer. Well played, but you all played yourselfs>>137412849>by lacking any self- awarenessand yet you ALL lack self awareness that everyone in this thread is an lolcow that lacks self awareness. Do you people not realize how big of a worthless joke you are? Your comics suck ass and are unreadable. Your all chrischan level, but not as fun to laugh at and zero world wide viral audience that chrischan has.If I was a artist I would be to ashamed to post in the same thread as you people.
>>137417414Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
>>137417414Cool, thanks for the input, Betz.
>>137417414see>>137406388>If I was a artist I would be to ashamed to post in the same thread as you people.So you aren't an artist then? Neither am I, so that isn't a fucking excuse.>Come talk to me when your webcomic is ready.

So you actually are CWC-levels because you don't draw.I know this is bait, but fuck it, have a (you), because I want an excuse to post the woman in >>137417204 even though she's not set to appear in Platinum Point for a long time.

>>137417717Fuck OFF, Betz.
>Fred is one of the more rational posters in this thread.Dramafags need to fucking leave.
I need some inspirationWho's an artist that have a manga-western in-between style and possibly draws visible lips?
>>137417831That doesn't narrow it down that much without a name you moron.
>>137417862Krump
>>137417862>possibly draws visible lipsWhat is the rest of your style like?If you're looking for least-resistance/minimalist, then drawing lils doesn't benefit unless you have a reason to draw attention to some lip decoration (i.e. Kim Possible). If you're looking for hyper-detail in the face where even the men are affected, then just say so (i.e. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure).
>>137406273Just my OC Chell, and lucky me I have it on hand to show it off. I should of added 'how it looks on his head' but I didn't think of it sadly. For reference on the clock hands on the throat they should be pointing to 3:33 proper, bit of a plot point for him. I have an older/retired character that has a tattoo that references one of the 'seals of soloman.' I forget which one exactly, but the tale how he got it was lengthy, edgy and overall stupid.>>137411196Ahh, its like im back in WoW trying to fucking farm mounts/pieces for mog. It was slightly easier because I was a god damn altaholic but I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Your comic dose put that nostalgic feeling into my cold dead heart.>>137415988ofcorse not, 'there favorite e-celeb is here? time to shit up the thread' 'they're not here? time to shit up the thread' Absolute fatherless behavior.>>137416721Its about to be mine in a hot minute and I hate posting much of my shit in comic form
>>137406128
>>137418055looks like he’s getting some good head
>>137417932Yeah because those are the only two choices.
>>137416757You got a discord?
>>137418130>trying to erp with omeow
Draw your OCs posing like this.
>>137417891>>137417932Something like thisI'm looking more at their geometry from different angles, because I'm used to draw more realistic stuff and I can't find any references outside mangas, where things are even too much stylized
>>137418269>>137418109>Yeah because those are the only two choicesReally, there is, unless you're really skilled.With exaggerating features, typical of any comic/manga, you try to draw attention to details for your audience to focus on. So, even if it's correct for anatomy, it still carries an extra weight if the rest of your cast neglects it (pic related, since Uncle Ruckus is meant to look as out-there as possible so he's given "nappy" lips that wouldn't be out of place for ebonic people in an actual anime).A good rule of thumb is that you should detail what you want your audience to focus on. Not to say that you should neglect the rest, but realize that if there's something you want to showcase, then you showcase it.If not, where you're just including the lips as another part of anatomy, then, yeah, look at artists that keep a realistic anatomy while still doing some sacrifices for fantasy (i.e., again, Jojo, because the art for the manga is genuinely fantastic).
A million years later, I finally finished (?) something.>>137417862That Ennui Go comic comes to mind. I’m not a fan of the style as a whole, but the creator does his lips well.
>>137418755Lol
>>137417555By being passionate, and updating daily, I assume.>I also have moderately sized social media accounts.>>137417597Nice to here, I'll make a habit of answering important questions like that when asked in the comic for everyone's benefit.>>137418012>Your comic dose put that nostalgic feeling into my cold dead heart.I'm glad my comic made you feel something, anything at all.
>>137391540Moar --unfinished-- progress (skipping ahead a few panels though, don't need to post all-a that at once)
>Betz this>Betz thatI Betz you aren't working on your comic anon
>>137417717You will never be successful, Betz. Everyone hate you
>>137419139Kek
>>137419196Whoever this shitposter is must feel like God himself knowing that whatever he does just gets auto-blamed on Betz.
Bros, it's summer, and I don't know what to do. I got a good amount of time to work on my art, but I can't pinpoint where to start. At my current skill level, I can just do nice-looking cartoony doodles that I usually cut off before the torso ends.Anatomy is obviously what to do next, but I get overwhelmed with all the options and just don't do anything. Any suggestions?
>>137419365Talking head comics are a perfectly fine starting point IMO. You can go anywhere from there as your skills grow.
>>137419365>I can just do nice-looking cartoony doodlesOkay.Post them.What you're afraid a thread (where 22% of the posters might be brave enough to post their own attempts at art) will say you're not professional-level?Fuck them (not me, of course, that's for the bbw later), fuck you, and fuck your comic. Post it. Even if it's heads, then be like a blowjob prostitute and work on your heads, and post that shit.
>>137418130No I do not m8.
>>137419451I've posted em before. I feel embarrassed for procrastinating so much kek, but here.Though, "Nice looking" is a bad overstatement on my end, I just realized.
>>137419514Traditional?
>>137419575Yeah I can't do digital
>>137419514This looks cool, I really dig your characters' attitudes. Also, props for being a tradchad
>>137419590I shiggy, me too (though I do pencil instead of ink).The one thing I can mention though since people do look for trad out here is to work on your subtle brushstrokes, since anon's disappointment in >>137388578 hints that passive readers look for any pen scratch, no matter how minute. So... give them a show, and be deliberate. If not... well... that's what a 6H is for.
Inked up a bumper page for comic. Alice Cooper's Goes to Hell album art big influence, good album too.Can't wait to color it with markers soon, I FUCKING LOVE COLORING!!!!!
>>137419575>>137419643Thanks guys >>137419681I'll keep in mind! Thank you for the advice.
>>137419828Now problem(forgive a few typos, me am at bar; the Hemingway approach)Just make sure you don't use your inks as an excuse not to establish some proto-structure. Even if you want to go entirely trad, a few H-# pencils that your printer won't pick up will help (i.e. 3H if your printer is high contrast enough, like, Drunk-me kicks in: This is NOT the 90s anymore. that childhood magic for what lies beyond the polygon skyline is naught,UNLESS you are good enough at perspective to carry my illusiom from looking at Spyro my entire life) If not, then do whay Xay does digitally to his benefit and weight your fuggin lines to their layer. Srz. Xay can weigh lines, but he doesn't do it entirely to layer. That's.. like... FUCK? WHAT AREYOU yOU DOING?! WEIGHT YOUT FUCKIN LINES AND COLOR IIFF YOU NEED TO!
>>137418488Too long did not read.
>>137420492td;dr: You want people to look at lips: no>K, then no drawYou do?:>K: Then draw
>>137419080Not sure if this shading is too dramatic
