Tell us about the comic idea you have, and I'm sure you'll start working on ANY day now

I didn't think that intricate. I could be wrong though

I'm 30 years old and I've not really created anything worth mentioning before, but I really wanted to create a comic set in a fantasy world of monsters about a cease fire during a war between magic and machines.

But I don't consider my artwork/writing that strong, should I even before at this age? Will it be a waste of time?

Picture related is something I drew for something else, would this art style bother you in a comic?

That's the reason this threads exists, so we can steal your core ideas but change them slightly so you wouldn't notice

>a horror romance cartoon
I'm intrigued. Do go on.

bother* typo

It's called Billy and the Cloneasaurus.

I actually like that art style a lot user. Be careful to find that right balance between details and bloating your panels and I think you'll be good.

yeah I have this issue. Every frame test I ever do is either too empty or too chaotic. I've tried years upon years of getting it right and it never works. Why it's been delayed so long, I didn't want to fuck it up. Better never than bad.

>Can't draw

I know that feel

Basically it's this guy who discovers that a cult had been active on his town.
The cult wants to conjure demons and use them as weapons to take over the world with semi-immortal killing machines.
He stops one of the rituals accidentally freeing one of the princesses of hell from the house of Morningstar and as a reactionary attack she bonds their souls together.
So now he has to live with her and try to have a normal life.
It's kind of a parody of "Supernatural Buddy" shows only the enemies they face are lovecraftian horror monsters or parodies of Popular monsters but darker.
The romance subplot comes from the guy and the demon,it's implied that the soul bonding is a form of marriage in the underworld and as the series goes on Demon girl starts to like living a normal life on the Earth-relm,while The guy starts to get more tired of the lovecraftian monster than scared.

It's called "spinster stories" about my life as an ugly autistic woman. And unlike Tomoko or whatever who is still a cute Asian girl, this comic is gonna be gross and it's gonna be sad.

I also have some fantasy and science fiction stories in the works.

>Vinyl Nights

>Taking place 300 years in the future in an alternate timeline where the Coldwar went hot in 1965
>Civilization is finally beginning to rebuild itself
>In this new world the most valuable commodity are the vinyl records found among the ruins of the old world

The biggest mistake one can make when producing something is to over think it. It doesn't matter if you spend years thinking about what you want to draw or write if at the end of the day, nothing is done. Don't think it, just do it. If it sucks, it sucks but at least you'll get a page done which you can revise later on.

I'm not an artist but that's my motto when I'm writing my shits.

Takes place in an archaic village centered in the clearing of a surrounding dense forest. This forest is feared for the spirits that inhabit it, so all the citizens wear masks that let their god see and protect them. Magic is feared and restricted. Only the Chieftain Priest may use it, and in very little capacity such as prayer and rain dances. A plague has threatened the village the village's populace, but the Godhead forbids using magic to affect the body.
Then, a familiar face appears. A warlock, once exiled returns with a barbarian army. From their, everything gets worse.

I've actually written the entire script to this story. Hoping to get it published someday

Mother fucker. I have a life. I don't dedicate every waking moment to writing. It's just a hobby

How much per page are you offering and how many pages?

It's been years since I've heard of Nicholas and his tits cat. What was your idea anyway?

Am i missing something?

I remember an old idea that was basically based on what I thought Monster Hunter kind of was.
The story opens up on the future. Technology has progressed to the point where we can make giant artificial islands and maybe even sky cities to support humanty's large population. As the population grows they experience regular Earthquakes, eventually a giant country sized monster emerges from the ocean, and hordes of smaller giant monsters emerge along with it.
Humanity is basically decimated, the island cities are hit hardest since the Giant Monster was literally large enough to displace the ocean levels and basically have them collapse down to the sea bed and get washed away when the tides returned. After the calamity the largest monster returned to sleep and the rest just roam the Earth. Humanity realized that the monsters are attracted to centers of human activity, the bigger the center the larger the monster it'll attract from over the distances. Larger cities are capable of building up defenses that can hold larger monsters at bay. Smaller settlements can usually be lucky enough to avoid the really big ones, if they do pass through it's like dealing with a hurricane or tornado, just hunker down until it moves on. Their issues are usually more the smaller monsters that take notice of smaller groups of people. They're dealt with by guns for hire with different ways of dealing with monsters like heavy artillery, heavy Calvary, or mechs. There are massive armored caravans that travel around bringing supplies and deliveries to different places,speedy deliveries are done by jet couriers which are sonic jets. Some people have psychic links with monsters, one idea was a guy who runs a monster circus and forces monsters to re-enact historical wars but with the countries as Kaijus. Some cutting edge tech would be being able to make people physically capable of matching Kaijus strength.

It's the story of a guy who has absolutely no creative desire to ever conceive of or draw a comic. Or draw in general.

A moving tragedy indeed, user.

That art reminds me a lot of Darkest Dungeon. As long as its consistent throughout I personally wouldnt consider it a bother.

In the end it was going to be revealed that the monsters were from an alternate reality, where they developed as the dominant lifeforms. However there was a reality between theirs and ours with a being that was basically link between us and became aware of us. Then they wanted to see us meet. The reason monsters are attracted to large human populations is because our psychic energy annoys them.

JAWSOME, I loved Street Sharks.

It's about a world filled with demons and other spiritual beings that one guy insists are real but every other character in it prefers pretending they're not so they try to convince him he's insane.

You wanna know something funny? This originally started as a joke 'what if Street Sharks got an R-rated reboot' script I was writing with my friend. Would've had Vin Diesel in it as Bends.

As I began writing it I started liking the general concept more and more. So I took out the Street Sharks part and ran with different stuff from there.

Holy moly. Did you start uploading this comic somewhere else, user? I like it.

I'm interested. Got a link to a site or something?

Underrated. This is definitely the best project on this thread right now.

Not a comic but I wanted to make a horror visual novel
I'm such a shitty procrastinator that in order to out off actually writing anything down I decided that I wanted to make my own journal out of leather for the process.
I made the journal over like a week and haven't written down a thing over the past month

This would work great if it turned out the guy is actually schizophrenic, yet there's no way for him to discern what's real and what's not. Also make it a slice of life.

No, Stan, you didn't have this ideia.

This is cute, make more

>Undertale but it's a comic.
Still sounds really promissing as long as it doesn't devolve into virtual reality bullshit at the end.

I want to make a porn comic where Pearl gives sex ed to Steven and Connie, and they all fuck

did they do that to the animals too?

Taking 30% just for the writing in a comic book is an ok share. $300 is just advance payment, in case it flops.

Not him but 70% of revenue is outrageous. 70% profits, maybe, but that remaining 30% revenue would likely go to production costs. Aside from that, he isnt just writing the book, he came up with the premise of it

Just go ahead with it then, you don't even need to draw well - bad artwork might actually add value to a comic like that.

Will you tell me how it ends?

The daily life of two farmers who spent their free time sitting at the porch of their local farming supply store

Probably. Maybe there's some sort of time loop going on justifying just why he keeps coming back and "bosses" come back after death.
For example: He dies or barely scrapes by against a boss, but after subsequent runs he thrashes the boss without issue.

Maybe things get slightly meta around the end once the time loop's fucked with but none of that blatant fourth wall breaking.

I dunno why I'm saying all this I'm not even gonna make a comic

Been doing short one-shot sci-fi stories with an artist and started a page called Filthy Sleeves Studios.

I was drawing a comic with only black and white but I ran into a wall because on of the random background characters I was coloring is supposed to be black/ethnic or whatever and I'm not sure how to color his skin if at all.

Use some shading techniques then, this isn't the best image but there are plenty of ways you can get different shades of dark across using only black and white colouring.

This won't help him if his style doesn't use any of these across the rest of the art. If you just air-drop a third tone or an approximation into a purely binary style, it'll clash as hard as throwing in a gray color.

Would read

I've known a guy online for over ten years now, and have always been a big fan of his drawings.
He's apparently always suffered from severe depression and doesn't think the stuff he draws are worth anything.
Sometimes he'll post stuff on his Facebook, and he has such cute characters, and I KNOW that if he'd set his mind to it, he could create something special, even if just a webcomic.
The thing is, all he does is work to support his wife and kid, and with the depression thing, I have no idea how to tell him I think he should go for it and produce something with his art.

I guess what I'm getting at is, what would be the best way to suggest it to him? I've only known him online, and have never met him in person. I don't want him to feel like I'm telling him what to do, I just hate seeing talent going unused.

Offer to work with him on it? I've had mixed results with that, sometimes it will encourage them and you can help them when they get stuck or something, but other times I've had them get weird about it cause they want to be entirely self sufficient.

Written some. Don't draw.

Up to three episodes in my bat-man cartoon and six issues in a comic series involving a brother-sister criminal team. Got lots of other ideas outlined too.

Lewd drow matriarch strips off her kinky outfit to have a bath in front of a mirror and starts masturbating, she pulls off the skin off her legs with her mouth revealing they are actually a snake tail, squishes her breasts until they leak venom and fangs stick out of the nipples, then snakes open up her torso from her back and she pulls off her skin revealing she is a gorgon! She playfully covers half of her face with her mask and leans in close to the mirror, toward the reader in perspective. But on the next page it is revealed it is not a mirror but a dimensional gate and on the other side, a drow matriarch is doing the exact same thing with a gorgon mask, and in the background can be seen the gorgon tail she was wearing and bits of her own false skin. They then start making out. The end.

I'm sure I'll get around to starting it someday.
