questions:
If your comic was an animated show, would it follow the exact same plot as your comic?
Alt Q: What's the oldest lore event that happened in your comic?
Here’s a better question, how bout you play with deez nutz
this nigga eatin pencils
>If your comic was an animated show, would it follow the exact same plot as your comic?
This isn't quite an answer to the question, but when I make believe that some big company would want to adapt my comic, I'm not letting anyone do it until the story is finished. That way the true canon version will always exist and an evil megacorp can adapt it in any terrible way they want and it won't affect the original. So I guess if my comic were animated it'd have a completely unrecognizable plot.
>What's the oldest lore event that happened in your comic?
I actually had to look up how old the universe actually is because otherwise I'd have put my oldest lore at 100 billion years ago.
if gloryhol were to be animated, it'd just be a continuation of metalocalypse so it'd be just episodic stuff.
For my next comic, TITAN BOUT, yeah, it's more story focused, i'd love to see it as an anime or something in the like of cowboy bebop, vignettes following closely the story
Also I got fanart for marie im happy
let it die
the hatchet man did nothing wrong. Also Cancrizans is a faggot.
this is just going to further tarnish hatch's name
>this is just going to further tarnish hatch's name
Can it really get worse at this point?
lol my Sinfest thread got DELETED
Tats hates transgendered people now btw.
I was hoping this was the right kind of satire.
you sure this isn't a critique of how gender is a variable companies can choose to profit off of now? I guess this warrants multiple readings
>Tats hates transgendered people now btw.
No one likes them. We tolerate them.
You're not entirely wrong, but the communion is hormone pills. Combine this with recent other strips and you can figure it out
It's likes nobody hates people with aids. But they hate aids. And if there were any people who were like trying to spread it around and tell people to be okay with it we wouldn't be happy about that either.
ah ok, I didn't have context
Someone should turn this into a web comic
imagine a discord drama webcomic? whoever makes it will be the keemstar of Yea Forums
Hasn't he hated them for a while? I've heard him called a TERF for the past couple of years, so it seems like that's probably old news.
People had guessed at it based on some really really long leaps of logic. This is the first time he's been overt about it.
Also, if you're really hungry for drama, you can go to the comic's forum and watch Tats' last two fans dunk on anyone who's genderqueer
tumblr calls everyone a terf. it's lost all meaning.
Meh. Not really interested in seeing that. I always just feel sadness seeing how Tats and Sinfest have ended up.
Never really saw much Sinfest drama on tumblr. Most of what I've seen has always been on Yea Forums.
If you have a gender identity, anyone who you dislike or who disagrees with you is a terf.
I think it says a lot about me or at least the current situation that when I saw this comic at first I assumed it was pro not anti.
My general thought is why even address something that exists entirely inside the heads of people who want to make their thoughts control and affect others? Like just starve them of attention.
Based Tats preaching the truth. I can forgive him for all the retarded feminist shit with this.
Why is there no new anarchy discord for HYW?
Because you were too lazy to make it, friend
Every one that gets made is utter trash because it attracts everyone who got rejected from KAW. KAW is a shithole, but there's a reason why they don't let people like CF and Dewd in there.
>he doesn't know about it
A discord with Lucy as admin?
i've binned my old comic and am now working on building a new one. i've forgotten how to make good supporting characters since it's been so long. any tips?
Okay I realize this can be taken wrong but.. Quirky. Let your characters actually be parts of the dialogue. like one of them is captain punchline. One's a negative Nelly. etc
>If your comic was an animated show, would it follow the exact same plot as your comic?
More scenes probably. I kinda go straight to the point with my comic. I might be lacking in build-up.
>Alt Q: What's the oldest lore event that happened in your comic?
Relevant to the plot? King Abe PRANKED Douma, made him absorb ALL THE DEMONS and then sentenced him to death. Terrible move.
>If your comic was an animated show, would it follow the exact same plot as your comic?
Oni x Fox would follow the same plot. Each chapter is sort of written in the format of a tv episode.
>If your comic was an animated show, would it follow the exact same plot as your comic?
The plots would be swifter and better timed; better paced. But the dialogue would be expanded more Seinfeldy..
>Alt Q: What's the oldest lore event that happened in your comic?
There's some stuff involving fairies that goes back millennia. is that what you mean?. Or is it more like... There was a time when I went back for the tenth anniversary and showed what happened the very night before the story started.
The oldest event is the war between vampires and humanity.
There's not even any good drama to adapt. There's a the people who got banned, hairy puss puss, and that's it. The server's just a bland circle jerk around a couple of egirls and a tranny fujo now.
Finished this page!
NOW it's the end of the chapter.
>question
It would have extended scenes and padding because right now, I think the pacing sucks. The plot will be followed with some animation only add-ons.
The older lore will mostly be featured in material outside of the comic since those are supplemental information.
>oi mate!
>post about dewd
>and then dewd posts
Buddy...
Join my discord! I'll make you a mod
Where are the previous chapters? I have seen this screenshot so many times.
Some of you guys are alright,
don't come to KAW tomorrow
no drama too
There's always drama
There's no drama if there's is no one is there ;)
F(reeeeee) Hatch got b8 cause he wa a major faggot
I agree he sucked my cock before
;^)
fuck this gay drama thread, post webcomic porn
There don't seem to be any more named chapters in existence. There's a long history of Dewd going TMI in webcomic land, but none are quite as entertaining.
I did make that one drawing for cult control. I miss that comic. I was genuinely amused when he was like 'she never takes her heels off.'
give me a source for this please!!!!!!! It's super hot
It's almost like that's how you behave around friends.
That's the issue, nobody on KAW is friends.
That's from WCL, not KAW.
And no one was friends with Dewd anyways.
This is not how you behave around friends.
Hi Coldfusion
I feel so sorry for you.
I feel sorry for your friends
>Samefagging like this, here
/hyw/ exists for shilling
you sure arent getting any productive discussion here, why not self promote
Because they like to tell stories about things you can't say in polite company? Because that's what I like about talking to them. Comparing notes on how to wipe your ass. Embarrassing stories about things you did as a little kid. Which anime characters you want to fuck...
>Comparing notes on how to wipe your ass
Again.
I feel sorry for the people who put up with you.
So you've never had real friends then. Friends who talk about their poop habits without being prompted.
:0
God, I hate dewd so much
what a cancer on this community.
I'm not convinced that Coldfusion has this gross little nerd clique that talk bout poop with each other. This is either completely in his head or he's talking about his mom.
Post poop habit discussion screenshots
It's not like I keep logs about logs. And nobody seems to be chatty right now.
Just be in your thirties and go talk to someone in IRC
>just be in your thirties
are you just assuming everyone in here is younger than you, it's weird that you do that and then try to tell us about your poop, is this a fetish
I seriously hope none of you buy the Mac Pro Cheese Grater PC for Six Thousand Dollars thinking that it will make your Art 100x better.
I have a lot to learn from you about applying gradients on top of shading.
I thought you were a writer
was this private or public?
Public
It was in the old hyw, you can still find it posted up in wcl
>If your comic was an animated show, would it follow the exact same plot as your comic?
It would be almost identical, but fights would have their choreography changed to better suit the medium. (which is to say, I'd pump as much resources into fight sakuga as I possibly could)
>What's the oldest lore event that happened in your comic?
In the Victorian era an ambitious transsexual found magic in his blood, which eventually butterflies into magic nuke-equivalents which then sets the stage for the comic.
What are your thoughts on comics where the art clearly changes quality for the better as it goes on? I almost feel like the art in the beginning of my comic is kinda bad compared to what I can do now.
owch.
Why is writing so hard, bros?
They're great! Very satisfying to see the art get better as time goes on.
All comics are like that sweetie.
What about the comics where the art gets worse?
TELL US MORE ABOUT POOP CLIQUE
Pretty rare
usually you can still tell another part is getting better even if some aspect is worsening.
Yes, I don't draw my stuff. Above is a snip of the chickenscratch I show my better halves who do the actual pages and below is them making my idea look presentable.
You could ask me on the weekend in the Discord and I'll show the layer breakdown for this file. I didn't see any cheats, then again I can't into art.
Shadows tomorrow. At this rate, I'll get my three-four pages this week.
So does anyone else skip around a lot on what they are working on?
Instead of just sitting down and finishing a page, i have been jumping around on cleaning up random pages.
I had no intention of releasing anything until i had at least half a chapter finished, but it kind of feels like I am not making any progress.
I have 16 pages of rough drafts done with all of them in various states of completion.
Not to mention the fact that i do random drawings when i get home from work instead of what I am supposed to be drawing.
>So does anyone else skip around a lot on what they are working on?
I have only recently experimented in that. As a way to get myself out of my usual everything in order comfort zone. It's actually really helpful.
I do this, but what it usually leads to are piles of pages and drawings that are about 75% done that I feel less inclined to get back to and more inclined to just continually start doing new stuff.
See that is what i was worried about. Since im not releasing a page at a time, i figured it was just a wash, but now i am sitting on 16 pages. I already made the deal with myself that i wasnt allowed to rough out anything else until I have the first 7 pages done (since that is when my protag finally makes his appearance, i figured i could safely release that much as a teaser.)
by the same token as pointed out, it feels really nice to do random shit just to break the monotony.
I worry that my idea may have been a little too ambitious for me and my lack of skill and experience.
Things might be getting lewd, on Saffron and Sage!
Here. I should clarify that I still finish each stage before moving on to another unless it's several related ones at once. Like I'll finish a sketch. Or I'll finish line art. Or I'll finish coloring. I think that helps.
i love when anime things get in my euro fantasy things
See I have a colored page missing word bubbles and a few misc objects, several pages with no backgrounds, Some with half finished lines on characters. Etc.
My comic folder looks like i have ADD.
Yeah I think you had the right idea but maybe temper it with compartmentalization.
>Trannyboi self shilling and replying to his own posts with "so hot"
Nigga it's already a lot to tolerate you in the /aco/ threads, go be a gay somewhere else.
Go fuck yourself, Lucy
Terf is just a made up PC term men in dresses can use to have liberals okay their violence towards real women. They can beat off to the idea of wearing a dress in the women's restroom, but heaven forbid someone mention biological reality in their presence. It's troonsphobic to kill a trannies lady boner.
Stay mad
Oh yeah I forgot about the drama in the aco threads. I just stopped in there briefly and got so many commissions I didn't need to go back.
thank you for ruining literally the only thread I come to Yea Forums for....
>If your comic was an animated show, would it follow the exact same plot as your comic?
Honestly i think I'd make it less of a drama/comedy storyline and focus on different episodic stories in different genres
>Alt Q: What's the oldest lore event that happened in your comic?
A character did a thing in his/her backstory that I can't tell you but isn't that far back
Sorry I know I offered to take over the threadmaking since regular OP couldn't, but circumstances beyond my control have limited my ability to do that.
I don't care about your success, you're insufferable and annoying.
These threads are the best they've ever been. Nobody's stopping you from posting your dogshit comic where the only reply is coldfusion giving some empty pat on the back like an adult struggling to find nice things to say about a 3 year old's scribbles.
The real advice/idea bouncing happens on discord anyways.
oh thank god you've finally started playing with line weight, your art may find a sense of soul yet
The webcomic thread have always been pretty wholesome in the past and you could post here and get decent feedback and promotion for your work, but now it looks like it's /pol /b idiots spoiling the fun for everybody else.
Wish you the best in making new threads!
>If your comic was an animated show, would it follow the exact same plot as your comic?
Probably not, I might consider other more natural starting point that might fit the format better, like monster of week or more episodic format.
>Alt Q: What's the oldest lore event that happened in your comic?
At the genesis of each universe, a specific position was created by entropy regulating system from future civilization that allows a single time mage to exist within their perspective continuity. The reason being that this system, used to prevent heat death of the universe, almost invariably led to its end through big contraction. At the last moment of a certain previous universe, a time mage, with combined magic of her powerful unborn child, sent a single message into the multiverse using a spell, that represented 1000th of 1 percent of their total magic, called a feathersworth.
coldfusion sounds like a cunt.
why the fuck would I make a post asking for source rather than just posting the source with the original. shut the fuck up retard.
anyone else find the beef b/w the 2 half-trannies hilarious? It's like something out of an anime, where 2 overlapping characters are bickering with each other because they're so alike. Even their art styles are similar.
>2 half-trannies
Which ones? I only know one
I'm male nigga, I purposely use "mom" in my name to catfish people and get free shekels selling my ass online
lucy & laundry mom. and no arguments, if you use a girl's name you are a half tranny
if we're gonna pretend to be me again I can just leave.
i'm an actual tranny tho. lucy is just a fag who likes a girls name
Imagine using a girl's name online to try and attract beta orbiters because your art is too shite to stand on it's own
discord.gg
new hyw server. no drama, just comics and art. join if you want. not competition with kaw, just an alternative. mod chat is visible and rules aren't draconic.
IKR? Laundrymom at it again
does this one have cf/dewd/lucy/any other undesirables in it
anyone who wants in is in until they do something banworthy. things will sort themselves out
yeah im gonna pass
>it's another "pretend laundrymom makes being a tranny their only personality trait despite it always being others who bring it up first" episode
that's ok
But laundrytranny left
Like clockwork
No thanks I prefer porn from artist who arent fucked up in the head
Is it true that CF got arrested for harrassment and possession of cheese pizza?
can someone please fill an outsider on how draconic your discord is aside from being secret and invite-only
Imma just drop this and go to bed. while it applies to Lucy it can basically apply to anyone who does the same. I'm gonna hope this thread dies over the night because the threads before the discord drama fags came in were pretty good and /hyw/ seemed like it was finally going somewhere productive.
It's Lucy. It's always Lucy, it's just his fucking fetish. Even the angriest right-wing homophobes in the thread don't bother Mabel because she's learned not to feed the trolls. It's always JUST Lucy no matter how little a reaction he gets, there's no way he's not a giant throbbing tranny chaser.
not saying one is draconic, just saying this one is not
>one tranny is tsundere for another but has gone overboard with the bullying and the relationship is reaching a breaking point
Just like my animes
>Implying I'm gonna read that shit
I read it, it lines up with what I've seen in the past two thread so you have my condolences assuming it's true.
Maybe it's because of the lack of bubbles, but I can't follow the dialogue in the bottom row.
discord.gg
Lucy here.
Uhm, you kinda brought this upon yourself?
Like seriously, the reason I throw stuff at you is because you actually start it.
And maybe your attention span is limited, but I actually offered you friendship in my beginnings, you were worked up and thought of my criticisms that YOU ASKED FOR, about your comics were personal attacks.
Nothing personal, kid. All your suffering is just a byproduct of your obsession over my influence, and you seeking to get on me. I can leave you alone. And that's it, but you never even tried to reach out to me to talk about it. My discord has always been available to you, only thing you had to do was message me.
>And maybe your attention span is limited, but I actually offered you friendship in my beginnings
Nibba you were screaming tranny at Mabel from day one, don't try to lie your way through this lol
>I actually offered you friendship in my beginnings
f e t i s h
sorry you got turned down by your dream futa!
>Uhm
>I actually offered you friendship in my beginnings
>Nothing personal, kid
The state of this board
And even if I did what does it matter to you? I'm offering this dude a way to relief his stress and find closure to my online pressence so they can finally achieve peace. So they don't have to struggle with innecesary stress when I arrive on any given thread.
I don't procclaim myself as a saint, or even a good person, but that's not important, what's important is that this guy can finally be in peace with this.
>TRANNY LMAO
>fuck off
>Ah, you're so eager to decry me yet you haven't once attempted to hold civil discourse. You were your own downfall

(You)
are you two in fucking middle school?
just cringe
you continue to make up shit, and proving the points in my statement. this is my final reply lucy. I dont want your "friendship" and I dont want peace. leave me alone you absolute freak.
if youre going to continue derailing the threads please leave me out of it because I'm not going to be blamed for it anymore.
Whatever you say, trannyboi
So how's that webcomic
This thread is a shithole
I quitted webcomics, I already stated this before
This thread is embarrassingly autistic. What the hell is wrong with you guys? Who fucking cares about drama...Just make your fucking comics you weirdos.
LET US INTO THE POOP CLIQUE COLDFUSION YOU HYPOCRITE
Ah.
So then why do you bother shitting up these threads?
honest question why do any of you bother replying to any of the drama bullshit? All of you sound like fucking 5 year olds
It's fun
might as well repost since the old thread died early.
>If your comic was an animated show, would it follow the exact same plot as your comic?
nah. my comic is mostly down to earth "slice-of-life-y" stuff, but if it were a whole tv show, it would have much more focus on adventures and world building. kinda like ducktales but with elves, in a sense. the fantasy theme would also actually serve a purpose lol
So another clique ok
cool post
This. These threads are dead as fuck anyways.
Mods went into full damage control over just the mention of cliques. They went and deleted like 5 posts just because people started meming about them
Lmao wow
am mod can confirm
Just get it all out, it'll be ok
no drama allowed gaise
Despite all KAW drama coming from outside the server and any mention of it inside is just memes
can also confirm
we were shaking and pissing ourselves
Secret club memes, do you feel cool?
It took only a few hours for the new server to devolve into sharing feet pics
ICE COLD
mods give out invites all the time it's ok to ask for one
you're a faggot and if i see you at my server you're getting banned bitch
SAY, HOW ABOUT THOSE WEBCOMICS?
no u
can finally start on this chapter, it should wrap up the first volume.
Is it a real webcomic thread if Sword guy hasn't posted at least three unfunny comics in it?
>giving shitposters more ammo by making yet another server spinoff
c'mon in and shitpost the water's tepid
I know right fuck them
They're doing us a favor by making these threads more interesting
All this samefaggoty KYS
yeah kill myself
lol
discord.gg
no no this is the permalink
discord.gg
Are you in KAW?
How do I get into the webcomic land server?
I expected more desu, theres barley any art/comic talk. Should have a art general channel and a offtopic channel.
Yeah shitposting tends to fall in general lol. The server was just made last night. The more new people join, the more it will generate fresh interest and art/comic talk. Participate by posting your comic and art and hopefully in the future mods or other people will encourage topics maybe in the writing channel (?)
Probably but it would be a bit heavy in terms of story for a regular network to pick it up (I'd much rather make it into a videogame actually since that's a more modern artform these days).
In the basic outline for the comic I wrote, the oldest lore is the tier 5 (kardashev scale) alien artifact that fell to earth creating god from a poor little monkey/very early man that it fused with after it picked the artifact up.
Gaining god level sapience is a harsh mistress however so the new god got to work trying to make a world where his former kin could live in and prosper without the fear of going extinct.
Eventually it created man and when it was satisfied with it's work it ripped it's heart out (the artifact) and dropped it back to earth from the moon where it's body laid to rest, passing the artifact on to whoever would be able to find it.
Eventually this starts the storylines we follow through the comic with the endgame being the travels of a wannabe hero as he travels through the remnants of what was once the pinnacle of human civilization before the fall of man.
It's all very sad really so I'm not sure who would even want to make this into an animated show.
I'm still working on improving my art so it might take a while for it to become a reality but the story is there however.
I'd much rather invest it in buying proper wacom drawing tablets for the poor anons that want to make a webcomic but can't afford a proper wacom.
I'd be able to buy about 79 anons a proper Wacom Intuos S to draw comics with for the price of one shitty mac.
That seems like a much better deal to me.
>i'm an actual tranny tho.
happy pride month in case you celebrate it
my interest lies in animation instead of comics... but i do comics because most of my story ideas are long or better suited as a comic. nonetheless i like to imagine how it would be translated as a show or movie. as a show, i can imagine sticking it to the comic plot a little closer... whereas the movie has to pick which "side" of the comic to interpret. both instances will have to cut a lot of material however.
>hanging out in dewd and CF’s shitter.
This thread is the shame of Yea Forums
You can all do better.
You wont become not shitty artists by associating with other shitty artists.
Do something for yourself ffs.
just filter their trips
wow
Link your webcomic and ill write a lenghty, cruel, sincere opinion about it.
And before you ask no, I dont have any qualifications, its gonna be my subjective opinion as a reader.
thanks user. i'm going to pride with my roommate and her gf this weekend. first time ive gone to a pride parade. mostly cause my local area is kind of small town.
>cruel
but y tho
Sounds educational.
m.tapas.io
That's not wcl, that's the clique server
no?
the onomatopoeia for the train is ok?
what sound make the brakes?
help
Newest page of Tom N Artie #2 is live
Yeah it would follow the comics (except for Issue 1 - 3 which I would have trimmed down so much and scenes shifted around if it made the switch to animation). I write the main comic as episodic after Issue 3 so you can pick it up on any issue to see a new adventure.
Yeah webcomicland is different, that's the spinoff server from KAW
Well that's NOT very nice!
ghadar.smackjeeves.com
Coldfusion doesn't even leave his trip on, thats part of why he's such an unbearable cunt.
perfect
Just how many are there.
I don't follow these threads and have no idea what's going on
People make comics and then post them.
There. You're up to speed now.
Like ten at this point lel
Some open, some private
Here's an old page...
...Here's the recolor.
This thread convinces me that discord is a cesspool and having identity is a mistake.
/hyw/ was a mistake
CLIQUES HAVE RUINED THE WEBCOMIC SERVERS. PEOPLE BECOME FRIENDS AND EXCLUDE OTHERS BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY'RE SO FUCKING COOL AND BETTER THAN THE OTHERS!!!
I'm sorry that you're lonely.

This thread should convince you is that gatekeeping is an innately good thing. Establish standards and stick to them. These past few threads have been genuinely embarrassing and cringeworthy. Social ineptitude lies at the heart of it. I don’t even know why I’m indulging this nonsense myself, but I feel like I need to say something in case any newcomers arrive—which would be amazing given the strikingly pathetic showing these threads have been.
I’m part of KAW. I don’t post very much compared to most. I read most of what happens, though. I am fairly confident in what I would call a very fair judgement of the discord. Rules? Yes, quite a few, and growing. Cliques? There are certainly core personalities that command more presence and influence than others, if that’s what you mean. PC/SJW influence? Decidedly and firmly liberal (as we understand it in America). Private/Exclusive/? Invite only.
Those are the facts on the ground.
How do these facts play out? The rules are perfectly reasonable rules that maintain order, adhere to the most basic standards of (internet) decency, and preclude disruptive and degenerative conflict. The core personalities are charming and make a genuine, warm effort to engage with everyone’s work regardless of skill level. The liberal culture? I am as conservative as they come, but I would have to be insane to think that a creative commune would be anything other than left wing. Luckily for everyone, “No Politics” is a core rule, and there is only a negligible amount of what could be called SJW behavior. It’s a non issue.
1/2
I’ve been vocal about my “issue” with the discord, and it is the ratio of shitposting to substance. There’s a lot of goofing around, meming, and shitposting. I am tired of that. The good news is that I am under no obligation to participate in that, and there are still ample opportunities to talk to everyone about ideas and comics.
The bottom line is that the critics who were banned and are making truly pitiable spectacles of themselves made a real effort to be insufferable. Social ineptitude, as I’ve said. It would be very difficult to be banned from KAW, because the rules are so common sense and reasonable. In the end, being open to new members and being open to removing problems is a god thing. I would recommend that everyone who starts a community be picky and have standards. There is no obligation to tolerate objectively repellent behavior in a grassroots community.
I don’t know if hyw is salvageable given the relentless buffoonery that’s taken over, but for anyone new, you should know that it’s the result of a handful of bitter people with social issues, who I genuinely pray for and hope can find peace in their lives. The drama is an illusion and is utterly irrelevant.
2/2
thank you friend
It's bizarre how strongly I agree with roughly half of what you're saying here.
Which half?
>The drama is an illusion and is utterly irrelevant.
The drama has ripped this community apart. The discord servers have taken all the good creators and help them hostage in what is little more than cults. Now the threads are just people who weren't cool enough to hang out with the popular kids.
It's not divided into neat halves. It's intermingled.
The real issue is simply that these threads exist on Yea Forums, where everyone is just convinced that they're obligated to be shitty to people because that's just the axiom of Yea Forums.
Realistically, there's really no reason to not form friendships, connections, or even just get critiques and/or have friendly discussions with peers, but instead everyone favors and prefers throwing each other into the grinder.
This is a place that firmly believes that promoting yourself and getting your name out on other websites and social media is cancerous, detrimental evil shilling, and that cycling your comic to the same two dozen people here is somehow going to make you big.
You're a faggot
>The discord servers have taken all the good creators and help them hostage in what is little more than cults.
More like the threads have always been shit, and creators went to the Discords for refuge.
I wouldn’t go so far, and I think this will blow over like everything tends to do, but you’re onto something about the brain drain, for lack of a better word. The sad fact is that you can control a discord more than a Yea Forums thread. Threads that fill up with unduly negative and/or repellent people are not going to retain people who are most invested in the actual topic. The hyw threads are definitely suffering because the only people who post now are either people who were rightly ejected from the discord, new and tentative creators, and shitposters. Sometimes discord people post here, but why would they want to spend time here when there’s a curated community over in discord? You can’t control the bile of Yea Forums, which is great for many purposes. Not for this. I would recommend that people who are interested in keeping hyw threads alive make an effort to build the community up on its own merits—but I don’t know how you would do that. There are people here who cannot tolerate order.
Open call: If you’re not someone who has substantially proven yourself to be incongruous with the discord community, you are MORE than welcome to ask for an invite. The only requirement is decency and relevant interests. In fact, there have been forlorn sighs that the discord is not as active as it once was. New blood would no doubt be appreciated.
How much power does a creature like Lucy posses like to derail and utterly destroy these threads with merely her pressence?
As much power as you give them.
>decency
Agreed. Yea Forums is not the proper vehicle for this kind of community. The honesty is valuable, but the culture is too capricious.
I am pretty confident in it. I might also add that the issue may not just be social ineptitude. There is probably a severe clash of expectations going on. A Yea Forums thread is not a discord channel, and a discord channel is not your inner circle.
the drama is completely fake and meaningless
the only reason it's still ongoing is because the people that were the intended target blew it way out of proportion and thus we have yet another reactionary server to address an non existant issue
Hi Lucy
based gusposter outta nowhere telling the proles how it is
>everyone who doesn't like me is a cult
ok buddy
fair enough
Strongly agree with you. Well, not on the shitposting part, I think thats pretty relaxed and it tends to be mantained in the General channels which are precisely for that. At least in my experience shitposting on the art-related channels its quickly shut down.
I agree there is no drama, this is just some loser with time. I do have hopes the threads will get better. Some of the anons here are really helpful and I get the impression they arent on the discord for one reason or the other.
where do you post your comic?
Only the people that deserved to be banned (they should be banned from Yea Forums as well) are the ones bitching about the discord.
Open call: if you willingly join a discord cult, you're a traitor to HYW and you throw away your artistic integrity. Don't do it. Discord is for Yea Forums children.
First cliques, now cults. It's a KAWspiracy, everyone.
Can confirm; any who ask for invites will receive. Feel free to add LsgNA#9081 to receive an invite.

Just let everyone back in again, a fresh start and a second chance for everyone.
Hi, how are you?
fuck off dewd
Yeah didnt throw them onto those panels because the bubbles from the top were premade assets. ones I make myself are added right before I render the page.
Your server is dead because you kicked everyone out.
The first sign that it is a cult is that the cult members viciously deny that they're in a cult
>everyone
>actually 10 people
>including the reject trio
Ok lol
This. If everyone on discord just only posted on /hyw/, we'd have a very active and lively community instead of an exclusionary one. Discord was a mistake.

I can't wait to see this uploaded.
it´s ok, but try to work in a bigger canvas, its to pixelated
95% percent of the Discord is shitposting, moving that all into the threads would only make them worse
i do work on a bigger canvas
but tapas has a size limit so i have to resize them to be smaller
What the fuck is going on in this thread?
The resizing should be hiding the pixels then. How big is your canvas?
Someone made a jokey thread because the old thread died and we're mostly treating it like a real thread to spite them. but theyre still mad and trying to stir shit up
typically 2550 x 3300 or so
>an actual tranny
No, unless you take estrogen regularly or get surgery, you're not an actual tranny, just a crossdresser. Also don't do those things, just go back to being male bro.
that's considered the standard
people would be disappointed in you if you didn't improve
NEW UPDATE

Gonna give it a try and update twice a week, at least for the time being.
>the threads are just people who weren't cool enough to hang out with the popular kids.
The fact that Discord server mods think they're the "popular kids" is almost as sad as the weirdos shitting up Yea Forums threads with their sperg-outs.
All of you are horrible people.
On the bright side, hopefully these threads will motivate creators to go develop their concepts instead of circlejerking and daydreaming what they could be?
That should be big enough that we aren't seeing pixels. Maybe the way it's resizing is going nearest neighbor instead of bicubic.
I would suggest resizing it yourself. And see what they do with it then.
my hundred dollar bill for HRT says otherwise retard. :^)
I blame all these people talking about beta males or whatever. You don't have to be the manliest man ever to be a man.
>my hundred dollar bill for HRT says otherwise retard. :^)
This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen someone brag about on the internet.
i'm not bragging, I'm struggling. send help.
>I blame all these people talking about beta males or whatever. You don't have to be the manliest man ever to be a man.
lmfao, beta as fuck
>You can behave like a cuck with no self-respect and no spine and you'll still technically be a man
Sure.
If you're not trans or a trans supporter, you're a nazi. And that's why you're not invited to the discord you fucking weirdo.
That's okay! I'll look forward to when you post it somewhere. Your main character is cute in a strange sort of way.
What's weird is that's what they used to do to gay guys. Like why would you give them estrogen instead giving them testosterone? that might actually cure them.
I wouldn't worry about it. It's just noise. That said, you're welcome to join the Discord, if you want to. You'll get lots of constructive and actionable feedback on your comic. Better than posting and hoping someone says something on Yea Forums, I would think.
Give up on trying to look female. Use that money on art shit, dude. No medical procedure exists that will permanently change your sex, it's all just cosmetic touch-ups.
If you're gay and like wearing women's clothes that's fine, seriously, but you're never going to ACTUALLY be a woman. Spend money on stuff to make better art. You're pretty good as is.
You should jump off a bridge
You know what, this is a cute response. Somebody donate to her patreon so she can have a smooth transition

cute, why did you pick an elephant as your persona?
I wanted something expressive and something cute. I'm a bit chubby, and I think I have a big nose/ears. I was fighting between a bear and an elephant cause of that, and then found out that elephants are very "motherly" compared to most animals and thought that fit my name perfectly.

The only requirement for being a man is having a penis.
That said Laundry doesn't seem like the type to sneak into women's restrooms just to jerk off to the sound of piss. I don't see a point in harassing her about her physical body and what she does with it. None of us will ever meet her irl so who cares.
in hindsight, it doesn't any make sense without the context of last week's comic. it was meant to be a continuation of that.
I should've made that more clear. whoops.
>The only requirement for being a man is having a penis.
I mean, if you get into an accident lose your schlong, You're still a man
I would say the requirement is a Y chromosome.
and yeah LM is a bro. no problems with that guy.
Draft pages of the next update. A month or so of work left, I think.
what should be my first step when trying to realize my webcomic idea?
I have a broad idea of what its about and the world, but im having trouble expanding upon it without visuals
I have an idea for what my main character should look like, but I cant really pin down a design that im happy with
if you still can't understand it I don't know what to tell ya
Yeah but the stump where your penis got chopped off in the car crash is more easily verifiable than a DNA test
I wont lie
I would fuck wakeupandeatabowlofbeesandmilk
Biology is a helluva thing. Sometimes your entire body is just completely unresponsive to testosterone. So nothing develops. You're still male.
Okay so some parts of this page are a little awkward. it still has a really nice feel to it.
I really don't get it, where's the joke?
I'm just posting this because it's funny. Discord randomizes these I assume
it's funny because it's true

Now THIS I would fap to
Kaw 2
Replace Coldfusion with Dewd, he's into that kind of thing.
if laundrymom is drawn with a 20 inch dick like the ones i draw I'd totally fap to that shit
That makes the schadenfreude less delicious you dimwit, do you even read NTR?
okay but the question is, would you use the elephant or create an OC to look like what you guys think I look like?

First you get jebaited into making a whole server, now this.
Guess it's foolish to expect any self awareness.

Is that really my trip? lemme test and see.
Why would there be a joke?
I like it
where can I read more?
why do I need an invite though? Can't I just search it up by the server name?
Iterate, iterate, iterate. Sketch everything out. Put pen to paper/stylus to tablet and you will find your focus. You have to spend time in focused thought. No way around it.

read my comic :)
Despite how much I enjoy making fun of its edginess off the record, the fact that I take the plot entirely seriously its one of my comics charm points. Or something like that I feel. Not that funny comics arent great, but the dissonance in mine would be unbearable. And its not that I dont try to go for humor, its more about WHAT kind of humor and the level of subtlety that belongs to certain stories.
You probably replied to the wrong post tho.
Thank you! The result was somewhat dissapointing to me. I gotta study how profile eyes work. Ill fix it a bit.
why is discord associated with trannies?
Stones of Anarchy#1234
something about this one discord where a mod would get weebs who leaned towards wanting to crossdress
get them to actually do it and then blackmail them
after they doxxed them into doing it more
it was a little back but apparently, this discord was also responsible for frequently posting trap threads
i don't know though. seemed mostly like people with a kink larping but i can believe the latter

Ringlets a best.
Your subtitle drew me in, but now I've found out that this HYW business is actually about webcomics after all.
4/10 you got one
Its about webvideos.
not sure what's most confusing
what's going on here, who's at fault, or why you would post something like that in here
In some versions of the story they were blackmailed into taking black market HRT. Supposedly that guy who shot himself on a live stream last year was a victim of this. Sounds far-fetched but this kind of thing makes the story spread.
estrogen does have a profoundly depressing effect. it's no wonder being female was once considered a mental illness
Do any of you make any money off your tranny webcomics?

Can anyone rec some good, cheap scanners?
You're better off buying a drawing tablet, a scanner is almost the same price
Well can you rec drawing tablets that aren't like $500?
yes. like almost all of them. especially if you give wacom a miss
Are you still living in the 2000s dude? Scanners come built into printers now and they can be bought for $70-$100
When axing a webcomic, do you just leave it there on the websites you've put it on or do you delete every trace of it and whipe it away from existence like the piece of shit it is?
Some good news and courage for you aspiring comic creators, Zoe Quinn (whore opportunist, the gamer gate girl who cucked her bf with 5 guys while making him work on her "game") had her comic "Goddess Mode" cancelled after repeated missed deadlines following the initial issues. Apparently too dogshit even for DC's offshoot Vertigo to peddle. There is justice in the world, not all dogshit is embraced. Keep your eye on creating good things instead of the fame and money, and eventually you'll succeed.
Oh and no surprise, the untalented drama whore obviously can't draw, the company paired her with an artist, she was just a "writer".
Tablets would be better if you want to go into digital, but you can always check out apps like camscanner on your phone which would mimic a scanner without extra hardware. If you want to go with the scanner, at this point any scanner or combo scanner/printer will work as long as it gets either 300 or 600 dpi (which won't be an issue if you buy new).
>Well can you rec drawing tablets that aren't like $500?
As the other user said, most drawing tablets are under $500, the only ones that come close to that price are going to be massive in size and/or have screens. Cheapest tablets I've seen are ballpark around $30-150. Wacom, huion, monoprice, gaomon, ugee, and xp-pen are going to be your biggest and most popular brands to look at if you want to go the tablet route, just check out reviews before you go all in.
>he only ones that come close to that price are going to be massive in size and/or have screens.
just to clarify, screen skyrockets the price and 500 starts becoming a bare minimum
but that's a totally different thing
Thanks for the suggestion. Will look into it.
The only time I deleted a comic was when the image host site (photobucket, I think) started demanding money just to have an account so I mass deleted everything and closed the account. Didn't even realize I deleted the comic pages until months later when I logged into my smackjeeves account and saw the broken comic in my mycomics list. Ooops
Besides cases like that I can only see intentionally deleting a comic if there's an issue with hosting like size/space or rule change, or a change of mind. In that latter case I'd hate to have someone bring up an old comic and have to repeatedly say I don't think that way anymore and I've moved (mostly) past my teenage edgelord phase. Shit or not, it's a good conversation piece to have and have a good chuckle over.
hi hatchet
Hi faggot
Anyone here reads this tumblr comic? I have seen people shitting on the art but to me its more than acceptable. I do find all the ambiguous gender characters a bit jarring.
It looks better than a whole lot of other, more generic looking things out there. Only real complaint is that the characters feel like they have no sort of consistent theme going on, none of them really look like they're supposed to be in the same comic. It's like I'm reading a crossover of several series I don't know.
the setting involves different universes or planets irc so it kinda fits. Havent read much beyond the first chapters but it was enjoyable.
Thank God all the e-dramma Twitter stuff is deleted

Learning to draw beyond eye cancer scribbles, trying to write a coherent story, forcing myself to sit down and draw daily.
None of these compare to resisting the urge to add more giant monsters.
maybe ill do some crowd scenes or something.
The best way to sculpt a narrative, for me anyway, is to focus on characters. In my experience, characters are by far the most important thing to a story.
If I think of a cool character design or character archetype i want to do, i get nitty gritty with it. I want to know how they talk, how they think, every little quirk they have, their favorite foods, their favorite music, all their flaws, I want them to be as three dimensional as possible.
Sometimes I will go out of my way to create a character I dont like, or one that is completely contrary to my tastes, then I will make them appealing and compelling.
A fun game i play is to throw out random words and mix them together. If I like the sound of one, I turn it into a character. This trick makes you create personalities and character designs that you would have never considered before.
Mix and match characters together, see how they interact. You know you have good ones when they do things that surprise you, and their interactions are not how you first envisioned them.
After that, you simply give them the setting and theme you want, and ask "how would these characters react to this world/ Mission?" or "Here is point A and here is point B, what do they do?"
If your characters are in depth enough, the narrative practically writes itself.
As for actual character design, I slap goggles and jackets on everything and call it a day.
be patient. your comic is all about kaiju-robot battles, there will be time
draw them now, use them later.
Robots were the main focus of it. Almost all the fights were hot mech on mech action.
The only Kaijus important to the actual narrative were Drak and Thought Bubble. Thought Bubble being integral to the plot, and Drak's joke was going to be how he just happened to turn up constantly forcing Tad and 'team of the week' to save the day. Eventually Drak becomes more or less team pet and saves their asses near the very end.
Now I am thinking about swapping out some Drak attacks for some other guys.
I really want to do some more intimidating ones (with more stupid name puns) since the only outright scary one is Thought Bubble.
>Thought Bubble
i love it
well i'm surprised, i figured a sentai parody was sure to have nonstop monster attacks. surely whatever bad guys are in the story can still utilize the odd kaiju, whether by making them or recruiting existing ones with promises of kaiju treats.
here is a 5 second literal shitpost because these 2 are adorable
when you put it like that it soes feel a bit weird. when i wrote the script Kaijus were just 'there'. they were the whole reason that there were so many sentai teams, but when it came to the actual plot there were only really two that mattered.
now that you mention it though, Gurk and Dr. Ann Thrax are a match made in heaven. originally she was just going to irradiate the city, but a walking toxin is so much more flamboyant.
fucking saved. ive never seen Drak so fierce. i love it.

you're right.
Interesting how most of the comics you guys make are set in some kind fantasy setting and shit.
real life sucks. it's either fantasy or scifi.
and technology has both progressed to the point that it's hard to imagine anything new, and stagnated to the point that it's hard to imagine anything good developing.
Ill start a comic next week with a real life setting. To practice with my tablet.
Adorable! The werewolf alien design reminds me of Street Sharks. Loved those.
i love me an anticlimax from a dramatic attack
Thanks!
there are a million SoL webcomics about how miserable the author is IRL.
why would i write about evryday problems and appeal to everyone, when i can draw robots and monsters and appeal to no one?
Thanks, Ardi! The werewolf totally has that buff street shark build! Looking forward to your new comic!
Can't argue with that.
I personally like to combine the real life SoL setting with monsters and robots
what if I draw robot girls instead to appeal to my equivalent of a furry fetish but for robots.?
Yeah, the format lends itself to people using their imagination. The idea I have floating in my head is technically realistic, but it borrows from stuff like sports manga to make normal things seem more dynamic and exciting than they really are.
Aside from the use of furry characters, I think my comic is largely set in a mundane reality. When I think I've written something outlandish, I tend to get outdone by reality soon enough.
clank clank
They all look so amazing!
This thread is kind of a bit inactive but how do I make a b&w webcomic?Cause I already made a decision for myself that I'm making it stylized cause I suck at shading
The only major difference between black and white comics and colored comics is how the line work is used to differentiate things. There's some wiggle room when it comes to b&w when it comes to hatching and toning, but you need to make sure that the lines aren't overcrowding the panels while also being able to differentiate foreground and background elements. The use of lineweight is usually used to distinguish the two, but the use of simple shapes versus complex lines can also be used.
Finish that page a bit more and it'll be easier to tell where you need to improve.
>fellow robot fetishist.
you and me are friends now.
why are irl sexbots so uncanny looking? would it kill them to make one with some battle armor, maybe some missile accessories, and the ability to turn into a motorcycle?
They need to stop trying to make it look realistic, and just make it cute.
your name is amazing
see also CGI
and when theyre told 'eew too realistic' their answer is to adapt a grotesque, ugly cartoon style, and still give it realistic, translucent skin.
and it makes billions.
Thanks! I'll try to get on that! Here's the first page of what I meant by stylized. (Sorry for my awful english.)
love it. I'm so glad you're here.
Looks good so far. the only issue that I would take is with the steam coming from the teapot. That blur brush blends too much into the background, going darker or lighter or even drawing steam with lines might be a better option.
Yeah I should've thought of that before uploading it on tapas. Back then I thought adding the lines on it would weird and I also forgot to add a darkey grey on the kitchen counter
I was thinking about cold war era setting. Really like it, also there is a lot of room for weird cutting edge technology.
that might be pretty cool actually

oh I am LIKING this. What did it used to look like?
Care to resize your images, friend?
Azu wip. I have not a single clue what im doing, but thats precisely the point of this.
I have been on an Azu mood these latest days. Friendship with Rau ended, now Azu is my friend.
>hell star
>holy cross shape
hmm.....
You know, if this started with some more solid construction instead of such wavery and vague lines and apparently no guides on the limbs, this could have great anatomy. You're definitely capable of it. What's here is plenty nice!
Totally true. I was trying to emulate an artist I like that just went for an incredibly rough sketch and then colored, but its beyond me. That said the construction or art doesnt bother me here as much as it does learning how the fuck do layers work. Like how do I add hair on a bald head on a separate layer, or clothes on a nude body on another layer, without afecting the rest of the drawing and stuff.
Oh you're trying to make interchangeable hair and clothes stuff eh? It's not super easy but it's also not terribly hard. I forgot you're new to digital art.
The most important thing is keeping in mind the 'transparent color' and using that to delete things on the layer. And always keeping an eye on which layer you're on. If you have to check, just click on and off the layer's eyeball icon, or move it around and then undo what you moved.
Thanks! I'm currently knocking out pages 6 and 7.
do usually
Then I usually appreciate it.
How do i join the discord?
which one?
appreciate this pal [farts]
The webcomic one I guess, I dont regular these threads
Im just looking for some guys to bounce design ideas off of.
well there are several, but howbout you join this one? discord.gg
How much effort do you guys put in your webcomics?
tons, I actually drew and published 16 pages this week
>more cute oni girls
oh darling, what you do to me?
Is it your full time job?
fan service always works
I see a bunch of platforms, but is there a recommended site to start a webcomic on? Launching in one month.
FULL
TIME
and not even a dime :-(
where do you post?
A comparison between webtoons and tapas. Worth noting that webtoons has a larger and younger audience with more professionally published works, although tapas appears to the better option.
Sites like smackjeeves and comicfury are more open to editing your own site, though either receive less traffic than webtoons or tapas. Consider that as less competition.
If you want complete control over your content, it's better to get your own website to host your comic.
What kind of comic is it? Adventure? Romance? It also wouldn't hurt to host on multiple websites.
Played the word game today and made some Kaijus. They kept coming out sillier and sillier. I swear I am anti-edge. I couldnt make a Destroyah if i wanted to.
These were mostly for fun, so I have no intention of using these at the time. They may sneak their way in somewhere.
In other news, i should have the first 7 pages of Tad Danger finished in about a week or so. (provided i quit drawing stupid shit like this.)
You only recently got a tablet right? you are taking to it pretty well.
I can tell you are having some the same line problems i am having. I cant tell if it is me, or its the settings on my tablet/clip studio.
okay, you know why I love you? Not only are these fantastic, but you're the third person now to come up with a cactopus, and one of them was me, and another was a comic I follow (whom I MAY have stolen it from unconsciously)
great minds, man.
thanks my man. i have a lot of cactuses i take care of so i wanted to throw a cactus in there.
cactopus may have been a low hanging pun, but i thought he was lovable. not huggable, but lovable.
it's my full-time obsession desu, but I make no money
my man, can i see?
New page! Say goodbye to Rau and the Priest, they will return on Chapter 17 so you wont be seeing them for a while.
Hope whoever is reading enjoyed their story so far.
My comic:
tapas.io
Yep! Im trying. I think I should try to mess a bit with the pen pressure sensitivity. It barely does the job. But beyond that its both getting used to drawing with it and using the programs what seems shocking to me atm. Hope I can get it some day. Sleepy now.
Smack Jeeves

oh ye, I've posted it here before

Whats the best way to make short comics? Like 4 to 5 pages maybe? I'd love to make webcomics, but I should practice some short stories before working on my longer more epic ideas.
start with the last page and decide how you'll get there.
Try adapting a part of a song, short story, or perspective of another character in an existing piece of media (IE, Yoda's thoughts while he was training Luke).
Depends on genre. Is it comedy?
It's Saturday Morning: The Concord Initiative has updated. This week, the dust stirs, and ancestors do more than simply weep for shame.

Something like forty hours a week. If I have free time, i give it to the comic.
>that one guy in the discord who never stops posting selfies
cringe
Who is that guy?
New Update!
For this page I attempted stuff and failed miserably, but the end result doesnt look terrible. It just doesnt look as good as it was intended either.
What?
Yeah its part comedy, but I want to add some action stuff as well. Maybe some emotional scenes later once I have established the cast.
Just don't do miscarriage subplot
I'm at a loss for what you could be talking about.
We finished.
(Actual file is much bigger. This is the most that can fit in here)
btw this says you cannot rearrange images after upload in tapas, this is false, I do it all the time. You have to wait for them to upload and finish processing, and then you can click and drag.
Also it's nice that the facebook thumbnail is not for facebook only, it pops up in a few other services, notably discord
Yeah. What you cant rearrange its chapters, which is pretty shitty
Awesome stuff.

New Power of Stardust! We're out of the worldbuilding and into the dialog and character building!
Can YOU identity all the public domain characters that make up the Circled Square? Tip: Use the public domain superhero wiki!
tapas.io
I also got another few pages of my dark superhero novel the Trespasser up. It takes place in the same setting as The Power of Stardust a decade before the events of the comic. Check it out!
Rock is too OP. HUH has insane priority.
Oh God I get to correct you! "flows through me, I think you meant to say
Oni x Fox updates yet again! From here on out, the plot is going to really begin to pick up.
Eh, 19 pages until the first typo. I suppose I should look on the bright side.
that face angle is really nice
But Takeshi has no will of his own, what is this bitch on about.
He doesn't seem to realize that a being a great soldier does not equate to becoming a great leader.
Still the best, even with a typo.
Page 21 is now ONLINE FOR PUBLIC!

thats really cool. i wish i got in on that. ill have to sneak in on the next collab.
I use Tox to style on them and lose every match.
Fixed!

Say something nice to her or she'll arrest you.
that's unconstitutional
Anyone know the best way to advertise their webcomic?
Like i feel like im not getting any luck.
What this is?
Did you ever do a surrender pic for the last tournament?
Unironically paying for adspace
I had an idea for it but I'm yet to fully make it.
Sorry about that user.
been working on some pages, here's chapter 2 so far
>1/3
>2/3
and the new one
>3/3
Please make it. You draw great lewds.
>/hyw/ did something cool
Theres a glitch in the matrix
No one said anything about paying for adspace.
>/hyw/
lol no, that's from kaw discord
great mood cultivation here
around 2 to 3 hours every day. I try to draw 3 pages each week, though I fear it might be unsustainable in the long run. I've been considering making a simpler art style for a while now. This week I got caught up in some stuff and barely had time to draw.
oh man this is awesome, kind of wish i participated.
spooky as shit. good job
anyway, update tomorrow. for today, i updated the character chart a bit
very cool and very fun to look at
Why cant I hold all these Raus?
what's the longest webcomic
my dick
How many subscribers does it have?
/hyw/ btfo again
none
thank you kaw mods
very cool
in here or ever? there are ones that have gone on since the internet was born
in here, probably me
I don't know who has the longest webcomic here, though mine is rather long. It's around 600 pages now
How long have you been doing webcomics?
All them Maries, all of them stronk and beautiful
My nominations on who to bully into doing this the next time in happens:
-Seasloth (loose floopy linework)
-TC (geometric, gamey, homestucky)
-Nessie (NESSIE)
-Limited (make everyone a whimsical gremlin)
-Pencilforge (kind of a Bluth-y style)
No clique bias just style variety shout-outs
Since summer 2015!

I wanted to join in but the event was happening right at the start of finals season and it was about the time I was so stressed I left KAW, too. Kinda regret it now, but oh well. I'm glad everyone else managed to accomplish so much.
>Kinda regret it now, but oh well.
Finals and peace of mind are more important!
that is a NICE fuckin dynamic run there.
>If your comic was an animated show, would it follow the exact same plot as your comic?
Yes, mostly.
>What's the oldest lore event that happened in your comic?
Alternate ww2: ussr does poorly (more than IRL), never steamroll Berlin and collapse shortly after the end of the war. Entire world become a US-led ultracapitalistic nightmare.

how are you supposed to start taking notes about a webcomic idea you have? i've been sitting in front of a notebook and have no idea what to write on it. i have a general idea what my comic is supposed to be but what do i write?
lasagna in kaw?
think of a line you'd expect to hear, or a thing you'd see. then think about its context. Why would a reader probably clip out that panel and share it?
Anyone here reads Modern Mogal?
I prefer my depressing comics in the form of the works of Dan Kim
I guess it depends on where you are in your idea.
Here's my process:
I have a small notebook that I keep random comic ideas down, like character notes, plots, gags, etc., just quick notes to put things on paper. It's small enough to keep in my pocket, so I always try to write everything down regardless of whether it's good or not. When I feel like I have a strong collection of ideas I sort them out and put them down in a more concrete fashion like a character page or a plot summery, or even a loose sequence of events. It's at that point I can see things on paper and objectively sort out ideas that don't work like inconsistencies or ideas that don't work well in hindsight.
Once that's done I work on a more elaborate script and go from there.
I've made the mistake of going directly from idea to script in the past, and learned that that's how my worst mistakes were made. The worst parts were the character inconsistencies and wavering plots, so my current process works a lot better for me to avoid those issues.
Depressing? This example seems sweet, is this not the norm?
as i said here.i focus heavily on characters over plot. i let the character interactions and motives dictate the plot rather than giving them a plot to follow.
my notes are extremely detailed character sheets for the cast, then i logically use those profiles to figure out how the plot progresses. usually i will find that the story can write itself since the characters actions are self evident.
i usually have a very light outline of plot points that i use, but i prefer to keep that as loose as possible to allow some on the fly story telling.
mind you this is my first attempt at a comic. i usually do short stories so im not even sure if my approach works here. im basically taking prose and making it visual.
Sexy girls, cute art, great style, funny concept. Rest of you shitters need to get on this level MINIMUM if you expect to get anywhere
Bumping with a doodle from last night

my art is so dogshit and cringey, it feels so hopeless
so cozy
comfy and cute
Thanks guys! I was trying to capture the feel of a comfy song I was listening to while drawing it, so that's great to hear!
Here is the first couple of pages of my newest comic ADMIRAL PIZZA
Another character page I did to avoid working on pages.
I actually have a full chapter planned for this guy.
Tad buys a motorcycle (tricycle because its safer) in order to expand his market to substitute for Masked Riders. Kamen Riders are like the bad boys of heroes in this world since they dont use mechas and work solo (and really dont need substitute rangers), but nonetheless Tad wants in on that market.
Whilst trying to learn how to ride a motorcycle, he ends up encountering his childhood hero Afterburn Rider, who is now known as Burnout Rider due to the loss of his powers. While normally Tad is pretty self absorbed, he cant stand to see his childhood hero in this state and tries to reignite the aging hero's passion for justice.
Shenanigans ensue.
So many people here with genuine talent for intelligent parody

I'm going to make a one-shot issue of a crossover comic between Rick and Morty and My Little Pony. On a scale between "absolutely" and "God wills it", how much should I kys myself? I already wrote the script and the only person I showed it to approved of it unironically. I know nobody wants to see this crap but grotesque display of repulsive comics is what /hyg/ all about. I'll post it once it's done, don't say I didn't warn you.
whats your comic about? I liked your designs quite a lot.
>It's bland fucking dogshit but it has my fetish in it so it's good
>Rest of you shitters need to get on this level MINIMUM
you sound like the kind of guy that thinks achewood is high art
Just pointing out that you have shit taste like some teenager lacking exposure to great stuff would, and not objective expertise to tell if a comic is good or not.
I think you're confusing a "good" webcomic with a popular one.
That's a long distance projection, considering that I haven't named a single example.
After some consideration, I think its time for me to stop just writing my dialogues by hand and just use a font for them.
there's no shame in using WildWords, not everyone is Stan Sakai when it comes to lettering.
Hnnnngh those fucking sparkles. Good shit.
Maan, I drew a comic with this precise premises.
Thanks, I think.
Isn't she? soon I will show the world her greatness, she'd be the best girl.
I have been working on a lot of story boarding for chapter 3 of Rococo, 15 pages of storyboard so far, aiming to finish that chapter at 20 pages. I think I came to a point where it is a good narrative break. Although almost entire chapter is something of a digression, focusing on character that isn't the main character, but I think I have given them pretty good plot reason to be there.
So does any actual critique happen in these threads or is it just a bunch of 14 year old /beg/s sucking eachothers dicks?
i like his early barney work
Put the 2nd chapter of my boys in a space future prison comic online:
The 1rst chapter was a special one, and normal updates will have around that number of pages.
thank you
my comic is Bladeus tapas.io
Story mainly would be about adult cloey starting with her living alone in a town, but after being found out about being the daughter of deceased famous dirtbiker. She is employed by fashion designer However she is not that important to them so shes trying her best to stay in. Meeting other colleges, finding good and bad relationships.
The Town parts (not the desert ones, those are more 80s action movies) would by like 2000s comedy movies (Zoolander, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Blades of Glory(but not that vulgar))
with urban town street sport tony hawk style aesthetic.
Is Space Pack going to be like X-Files or So Weird where they encounter new weird things each episode or does it focus on the glow in the dark space werewolves?
more cloeyeros
mine has qt robots, does that count?
Good question! Space Pack will be following a story rather than being episodic like X-Files and So Weird. The focus involves the main cast and how they deal with and try to figure out both the mysterious space werewolves situation and the simultaneous appearance of aliens in their suburban town.
It's mostly the later.
as long as it's in-character and respectful of both series, I'd read the hell out of that.
respect includes affectionate parody, of course. but I feel like it would run its course pretty quickly when Rick got bored and Morty found himself liking this simple sweet world and not wanting to leave even though it's kind of boring, because his regular life is so traumatic
interested in seeing where this goes.
...
wtf stop eating pencils you fucking retard
youtu.be
Do you write a character history sheet like Araki?
Brought this back since I can draw somewhat better now
tapas.io
ah what the fuck, I am reading your comic already. Is just that the blue char hasnt appeared so far.
made me laugh.
yeah ditto, I was thinking the same thing
Thats honestly an amazing poster.
Thanks so much! I appreciate that! I'd love to make another one like it sometime!
i was waiting for this thread to die before posting but it's taking forever so i'll just post now

Love the premise! I'm reading your comic too. You may need to have someone look over and help with your grammar though.
Is this thread really #568, or did I miss one in the archive?
what was the previous thread?
This one, I think
There's no previous link in the op so I'm not sure if one or more were skipped, if at all.
drew Maisie as a pastel goth, also check out the new page, its got a cute demon girl you might remember
tapas.io
that was it, good job.
This makes me happy
new thread guy here?
substitute new thread guy reportling for duty. making a new image now
aand it's made. let's use up the last posts here and speed that up. i think if you sage, we'll go into autosage without going to page 1? is that how it works?
I'm sort of back, but if wants to do it more power to them. I'll try and do threads again after that.
hurry up and die thread
by all means dude, you're a lot better at it. I was just holding the fort down. Sorry about the bad timing after the first one.
Hope you like my 2nd image and then i'm happy to leave it to you.
>Sorry about the bad timing after the first one.
Huh? Sorry, I'm not tracking too well atm, what are you referring to?
And this means You or I am doing the new thread?
And I've liked the recent thread images, even this thread's. Not going to lie, I chuckled at it once I realize what it was.
I'll have to see about doing some gag versions of the op, it might be fun
Oh, well I was apologizing for this thread, which I didn't make, because of how I didn't make another thread in time. Last one I made had the blue OP image.
but it kinda seems like this thread turned out okay after all.
So yeah I'll make one more with the template you provided, and then you can take over.
planning to start releasing my comic towards the end of June, starting with a 5 page prologue and 1 page a week afterwards. hope to keep a consistent schedule!
Awesome!
okay we're gonna have to bump a bunch of other threads if we want this sucker to move off of page 7
OH, okay
Yeah, you did a good job and got thumbs up from me!
thanks
