I love the dopamine hit you get when your drawing coming together nicely.
And then day later you realise you fucked up proportions and you have to redraw lower body completely. Not to mention you have to draw same pose from 2 different angles.

learning to get over that is really hard but super worth it once you realize you can abandon a failed drawing or one at the wrong angle, and do a revision that's just as good but now works for the scene

I just found this somehow through image search, has anyone heard of it before? Is it useful?

Which contest are we doing?

ill make a second strawpoll soon to decide. Probably between wacky races, voicing and fashion again. I did say we were gonna have 2-3 strawpolls.

voicing -8 votes
fashion - 7 votes
races -8 votes

maybe only between races and voicing though, ill think about it.

How do I gain this magic of chemical positive reinforcement from being productive?

As long as you don't include voicing

Glad this isn't dead
even gladder this isn't dead. looking good!

we have the rest of our lives, why not do all of them, one per month, now that we've confirmed interest in these

I'd like to give some advice on worldbuilding, if I may.

If you ever find yourself conflicted on whether or not to include an element in your setting because you feel it's out of place or doesn't fit the tone, all you need to do is form some kind of connective tissue. Just ask yourself where this element fits within the greater cosmology of your setting, and what the ultimate purpose of its inclusion is. If it doesn't fit, simply change it so that it does, and have it be something more in line with the overall genre and tone.

Felt compelled to say that due to a recent revelation I had.

lol what can i say

I do a data entry job to, so i type all day, between that and chronic masturbation, im surprised it hasnt happened sooner. I think its just cosmically convenient that it would hit as soon as i start drawing.

Thanks, anons.

haha, guachin, this critic is too biased and I got way more praise than I deserve.
I'm always at the razor edge line between making things simple but without insulting the reader's wits, though i feel some don't understand because they expect one shots or maybe it's the way I narrate things, which is experimental even for me. There's some training involved here for both parts, reader and author.
KJ, the masked kid, has a reason to eat like he did, ofc. That and the other question left unanswered there: the name of the doll kid were left out because I felt they weren't the focus of this one story...besides those answers themselves are interesting enough to deserve their own stories.
Delivering is the key here, I rather have a dirty and simple doodle than a detailed drawing that i can't deliver on time. I learnt that lesson...plus I surprise myself every now and then.
Spook n Spell is my way of saying to the overachingplot fags: hey, stick around, I might have something for you as well.

There will be more ches and, perhaps, some mate, mein schwarz. Thanks for the support and cute drawing, going straight to my collection.

The hell?
Also in future browse with your mouse in your left hand, and keep your wrist out of contact with (the edge of) your desk when drawing. I'll try to find those exercise videos I was shown again

does browsing with a tablet help

fuck, dude. That's not fair.
I've never heard of someone actually recovering from carpal tunnel, but I suppose if it happens, they probably just don't talk about it anymore.
sleeping with a wrist brace sounds smart, since those suckers can move around a lot in bed, but just in general you need to take time off from your job and start getting the maximum amount of sleep, or healing can't happen. For any body part, but especially hands. Mine used to ache just from the bus and bike rides of my commute alone.

i think it will go away if i take care of it. it only started a few days ago, so it should be early enough to stop it from becoming chronic.
it just doesnt help that my job requires me to type 8 hours a day, so im constantly aggravating it.

Can you ask for medical leave or something?

mite b worth looking into workman's comp. definitely type with a brace.

ill consider it. i dont have a lot of time to spare.
dont know about workmans comp, but i did type with the brace today. it slows me down, but its doable.

Are you allowed to get a different keyboard?

yeah actually i can. its a gov job so they bend over backwards to do accommodations. it will just cost me a doctors visit.

I have no idea. I guess it makes sense-the most strain is going to be on the hand holding the pad. On the off chance it sounds like I know what I'm doing I don't- if I watched the videos I'd have them bookmarked

not really, I'd say it's the opposite. It's easier because you notice the small details that nobody else would and are more receptive to the changes within the comic. I think you just lack the knowledge to critique it.

I'm afraid the scale's pretty off in this room. Some people have giant windows like that, but that door is tiny compared to the height of the person, and the handle's really low.
It looks like you used a 3d model for the room, but if you wanted to redraw it, all you'd have to do is erase the lines at the bottom of the door/walls, and draw a new, lower floor.

thanks bro

>So do i work through the pain or take a break?

Check out from the previous thread

>Carpal tunnel syndrome is no joke. Pain, numbness and tingling sensations are only the warning signs. Serious cases involve losing grip strength and dexterity in your fingers. In the most severe cases there's muscle wasting and loss of sensation.

The pain you feel now is just the beginning if you don't take it serious. Which country are you from? You said you have a gov job so it should be pretty easy to get a more ergonomic setup but it varies depending on your country

For example in the US, UK and Canada if you have doctor diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome your workplace is obligated to make reasonable accommodations such as an ergonomic keyboardrequired/wrist support. It's cheaper than them dealing with a workers comp dispute. They can't just fire you for it either thanks to the the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in the US, the Equality Act in the UK, etc.

Take care of it right away. It's more serious than you think based on the "so do I work through the pain?"

>if it doesn't work just change it bro
oh shit that's crazy you can do that

ill get with a doc next week. imma try the brace and exercises first as well as lay off the drawing for a bit.

write things that make YOU laugh

Just look at a situation and then get it wrong. All humor is based on surprise.
If someone started saying "I was walking my.." you would immediately think dog. Then if you got a little creative, might imagine other animals, but none of those are funny just because they're different
but if he ends that sentence "..beef" you're going to laugh.
and if someone calls attention to how that makes no sense, meat isn't something you take for walks, you might think the joke has been ruined. you don't need that guy pointing out it would drag on the ground.
but the guy with the leash says "but it's GROUND beef"

Prayers to the artist I am working with. He is going in for surgery on the 19th.

We're going to shift to him doing inks in the meantime so that the colorist I love and have worked with a lot can get cracking on that as the pages come out.

Which means I have one more page of lines to look forward to, and then it is inks. Not that I am complaining because inks are where his art really shines.

those hand lines are amazing

So I'm 16 pages into a script and I want it to be this punkish action comic but as far as establishing setting and motivations, this shit has been sad and dark so far. I dunno how to lighten up the mood, I end up writing overly serious shit when I'm trying to be rock&roll.

It helps if the characters react to it in a way that isnt too depressed. If we see they're okay with it, we won't get so bummed out. Even just a wry smile at the situation

I have a character's personality down, but I can't refine the character's reaction to something. Meaning, I'm uncertain how the character would act in certain situations. Is there a decent way to work on this?

you could brute force it by thinking of every possible reaction and seeing which one makes the most sense
otherwise you just have to be an actor for a moment

I have to draw every possible reaction?

no, think. inside your head.

I can use google docs to write out my script digitally right? I wanna post it here.

yeah that's how it works

So i'm drawing perspective on paper and the vertical lines are slightly bent and i can't draw vanishing point because it is way outside the paper i'm drawing on. How can i line up those lines?

The earliest warning sign is a tingling/numbness in the palm and every finger but the pinky (index, middle and ring fingers.) After that it's pain and that's still considered an early warning sign but if you're working through the pain imo you're dumb.

Going beyond that you get into losing grip strength and finger dexterity. Depending on the serverity you'd be discussing surgery with your doctor

how am I supposed to get better when I'm not drawing?

i have pain in my wrist, but i never had numbness or tingling.
is that good? maybe its just sprain. ive been mildly panicking since last night. doesnt help that co-worker saw my brace and told me she had to get surgery.
im seeing a doctor monday. meanwhile im going to stretch it, brace it and pray.

pretty sure I just fell asleep on my hands

You can do artistic things that don't require your wrist. Take up photography to help with your composition and framing; you can finger paint to practice color theory, values and shading. You can do like Vilppu and gesture draw with a rag

youtube.com/watch?v=pICHWeinrvU

You don't need a wrist to be an artist but it helps

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a repetitive strain injury. There's a progression from slightly annoying all the way up to cripplingly debilitating. If you've only got a little pain or a burning sensation then odds are taking a break and some anti-inflammatories (like ibuprofen) you'll be fine.

Make sure you tell your doctor that you have a job that requires you to type a lot and a hobby that requires a lot of wrist movement.

Well shit that sucks but don't worry too much about your wrist. As long as you're responsible about it and take regular breaks you won't even feel a twinge wrist pain again.

The most common mistake imo people make is working 2-3 hours until it hurts and then taking an hour break. If you instead took a 15 minute break every hour then your wrist will never hurt again

There's no really good way, since these kinds of comics are only enjoyable when read back to back in decently-large chunks, and they take ages to make. You might as well go with a bunch of pages each month. Just try to make each bunch self-contained enough that you aren't completely lost
At least you didn't do the full bypass like some idiots I know. it's NSAIDS btw.
There are other antiinflammatories. some hippies swear by turmeric.

>NSAIDS
i have never read that word. only heard it spoken. shit i feel dumb. thats like saying "social piranha" or 'doggy dog world'

A traditional style superhero comic seems like it would be tricky to work as a webcomic because how the story is told. If you upload a page per week a simple fight could last a month.

Go grab your favorite comic book and read it one page per week to see what I mean. You'll have to change something to make it work

I said 'doggy dog world' for the first at least 14 years of my life. and a ton of the mistaken phrases on Rugrats went right over my head, especially when they sounded better than the real ones. You're off the hook in my book.

Just promise if you take one by accident and you're dying, your last words are mama nsaid there'd be days like this

Thats cool though, if the first thing readers noticed about her was her cuteness I would have failed at her characterization I think.

Thank you man. I still remember I have to destroy your comic.

I am aware of those drawbacks and I was aiming to do it like a sunday strip, think of The Phantom or Mandrake the Magician or other action comic strip from a long time ago. The comic will require tons of compression but that´s already something I don't have a problem with and kind of dig it since I really enjoy vintage comics in general.
My concern now is that I may end up stretching a story arc far too much

It is bulshit

Maybe it's just because I'm above the intended age group, but... have webcomics kind of gone past their "prime?"

Seems to me that you couldn't throw a stone online without hitting a webcomic of some sort. Maybe it's because there were so many Penny Arcade wannabes.

But yeah, are webcomics even a fraction as popular today as they were perhaps 10-15 years ago?

it's more like the internet is both bigger and smaller now, and search engines peaked a long time ago in terms of being able to find shit,now they find whatever someone has paid to promote

... okay that's actually some pretty legit cool imagery.

Absolutely. I honestly think its a terrible idea to make webcomics if you want to be really famous. Webcomics are kind of like novels now, a billion of them online by amateur creators.

I grew up reading megatokyo and mac hall, they were both once super popular, hard to find a single person around today that has read them. truth be told the webcomic market has always been a pretty dense mass of countless artists' first projects, those that live long enough to gain a following either gain a core fanbase that last them decades (literally at this point) or burn up within a few years.

the main difference i would put forth is the internet has, in the interim, become way more integral to the lives of the wider world, and the 'nerdy' webcomic crowd of old are now a much smaller audience with a much smaller share at the internet pop culture table

It's a terrible way to make comics, but I got no other option to practice.

Hurm. Well that certainly would explain why quality content is so easily missed nowadays.

It's like the internet is now just a huge collection of echo chambers that aren't even connected. Even outside of politics.

So are webcomics just... not something that people are interested in like they used to be? Or are people just as interested in new stories now? It's almost like the movie industry, where nobody notices new talent/material.

I personally can't even NAME any currently running webcomics outside of the ones introduced in the 90s/00s.

So outside of becoming a famous animator on CN or something, what IS the best way to get your work exposed and seen by larger groups online?

Is there a correlation between cucks and certain genres of webcomics?

Fucking cute.

The environment is just different than what it was back in the 90s. In some ways it's easier than ever to get started and share your work. But there are a lot of things that have changed like how nowadays you have more consolidated platforms dedicated to webcomics like LINE or Tapas. Also you see more highly polished art these days since art students caught on that making webcomics is another way to market themselves while at the same time the more successful webcomics, at least from a visibility and monetary standpoint, tend to be simpler in style. That style of webcomics is more successful right now because virtually all of the major platforms where you see content shared are designed to have things compete for your attention. Anything that takes too long to process with get lost in the noise.

That said, you can still find niches of independent creators doing interesting and different things making a living with a small fanbase. Crowdfunding made it more possible to consider making webcomics for a living but it's a precarious situation since you're at the mercy of big platforms that may not see or respect you.

Actually webcomics can be a way to get a foot in the door to another industry. The issue with that is people may simply be making webcomics as a stepping stone rather than as an end goal, but you can hardly fault people for prioritizing making the rent over any artistic dreams.

>Actually webcomics can be a way to get a foot in the door to another industry.

Welp there goes my plan of using my comic to get into my dream job of photographing nude models for tasteful coffee table books.

it's happened.. but they've gotta be big
most of the time the comic is more of a combination of a portfolio and a proof of concept / proof of interest.
for a lot of people too it's just a way to practice and get good at creating.

not that guy. but i can think of examples, but... they just so happen to be from accredited artists with years worth of commissions and contracts under their belts

>for a lot of people too it's just a way to practice and get good at creating.
Are there people like that in these threads? All I see are people posting finished pages and WIP to get free praise.

yeah I think the operative word in the post was CAN.
you CAN make a million dollars on the stock market. but it fucking helps if you're already rich, so you can invest in a bunch of low-risk low-return sure-bets.
webcomics CAN be a way to get you your very own cartoon. But if you don't live in california, it's gonna be hard to make the connections you need. and something is going to come along to make you hate your choices.

Are you death gripping the pencil or something?

Remember to create because you love the craft, not to become famous.

Recognition and success comes from hard work, so start working hard and love what you do!

>Recognition and success comes from hard work
since when?

>Actually webcomics can be a way to get a foot in the door to another industry.
Brainlets, when will they learn. All the hacks who want to use comics or games as stepping stone to enter holywood/netflix or any other shit will never accomplish anything. They have to act like brown nose yes-man always walking on the eggshells, being as non-offensive as possible and thinking collectively.
Always go indi, you are your own boss.

yeah it's more like recognition and success take ages, so you might as well have something to occupy you during that.

the people on the recruiting/greenlighting end of things aren't like that. that comes later.

"overnight success" is literally a term that exists

yeah but that's just a success line that starts low, stays low, and suddenly goes upward steeply

How does one avoid a bloated setting? How much is too much?

You can try developing the plot instead of worldbuilding for no reason

>world building for no reason
>no reason
If the world isn't interesting, the audience will not give a shit if the heroes succeed in saving it. Additionally, plot tends to hinge on the rules and trappings of the setting. Don't be retarded.

I think you misunderstood what I meant

>If the world isn't interesting, the audience will not give a shit if the heroes succeed in saving it.
It's the opposite, friend. Lots of successful stories have very simplistic world building, think of basically any Disney movie for example. Stakes and motivation are what get readers interested, world building should be the icing on the cake, and no one wants a cake overloaded with icing without any actual cake.
Your readers get interested in the world because they're interested in the story itself, not vice versa. Do enough worldbuilding to make the situations of the story make sense, and to add some additional detail and flavor if you like, but no one but you is going to care about the minutiae of the history and lore when you're a no-name creator, focus on figuring out the actual plot instead.

The plot is merely the events themselves. The events don't matter without the context of the world and characters. Again, don't be retarded.

General rule of thumb every time you want to ad world building elements ask yourself. Is this plot relevant in this chapter? Will it ever be brought up again? Just do bare minimum for the start, so we know where we are, character motivations, stakes and where the plot will be moving.
Also i think the biggest mistake people do is add bunch of useless characters because they think more is better. It's really hard to juggle so many character interaction and give everyone moment to shine.

Writer Due is free

I'm stuck in my script.

it's a buddy cop story about how by not standing up against corruption, you're letting it grow.

I'm trying to figure out how can my main characters pick the first trail that'll lead the to the bad guy. so, basically, I don't know how to start Act 2.

I already went ahead and write Act 3, so I know where I'm heading (if that's any help), which is to a crooked police officer who works for a drug lord, but he's trying to make his own business under his boss's noses.

any tips?

maybe they talk to some idiosyncratic character who was a witness

so I need some help. which version looks better between these two? the top or the bottom.

these are pages 8 and 9 of chapter 2, its a center spread.
the top one is "correct" because the horizon lines are aligned, but the scale of everything in page is different so the window doesn't line up. the bottom one is stretched so that the edges line up, giving the view an interesting effect as well as communicating the building a bit more sensibly, but the horizon lines are off

Attached: top_v_bottom.jpg (1953x2734, 1.49M)

maybe the crooked police officer creates leads to use the protagonists to dismantle the drug lord's empire

it's hard to tell the difference, I think bottom is slightly better

no, he has to be corrupt to teach a lesson to the MC, since she noticed early signs that he was involved in some shady shit, but decided to do nothing out of fear.

and now he's too powerful to be stop.

Apart from writing all the story's facts down, even the obvious ones, you get a weak link in a conspiracy when you involve another person. What goes into making a drug empire?

Making a stop to talk to a shady character/knowing the location of a dead-drop if he's a beat cop, directing a pallet of non-locally seized cocaine to a local lab for spurious reasons if he's an office one.

Is it true that your art reflects your personality, or is that just bullshit?

I think it's more like art reflects your influences and interests. Those, in turn, are going to have something to do with your personality, causative or not.
The only way I've ever directly observed art reflecting anything about a person is when they depict these severely fucked-up worlds that make it clear they... they have seen some shit. And not just some author's imaginary grit, but the real grit of the murkier parts of real life. and they're comfortable enough in it to write about it.

I have a stupid issue:

In my project there’s this character who, for some reason I can’t quite remember, I named Skiddie Nix (real name is Skid Nixon). Since English is not my first language, I’m afraid some issues might arise:

I know Skid is not a real name (right?), but does it sound too weird? The setting is not realistic, so that shouldn’t matter, but she is to be the most grounded of the characters, so maybe a more regular name is better.

Also, does the word “skid” make people think first of underwear skid marks? I would hate that.

Some quick background: she comes from a slightly campier version of your usual cyberpunk dystopia, she fights by sliding on platforms she creates (hence the name).

Thanks in advance.

It sounds a bit weird, like something you'd expect from youtube.com/watch?v=oymWAeqv_-c
My first thought is 'Skid Row' but also the name as a whole sounds like Stevie Nicks

if it's a cyberpunk setting though, then it's a perfect name.
but wait, she's named after her power? So then it's fine if it's a weird name, because it's not what her parents named her.

First of all, thanks for the help.

For clarification: Skid Nixon is supposed to be the real, legal, father-given name, while Skiddie Nix is supposed to be a cute nickname that stuck. If that sounds too stupid, I might as well scrap the whole thing. But the idea originally came from the idea of naming her something that rapidly gave away what she could do to the reader.

But given that I am having so many doubts about this, I think I might just go with anything else. A shame, because I actually liked this weird faux-American name.

oh I get it.
I think you can get away with it, really. you do want memorable names so people can keep track of characters.
nobody in the audience is going to be like 'what a stupid name, this author is clearly foreign and terrible at thinking up names'. You gotta go way stupider before you're in danger of that.

anyone here making a nsfw webcomic?

I don’t know much, but I think you should go as you intended. It still is your original idea and given that your MC character seems to be fundamentally different it should be enough to give your story a different enough perspective from a similar work.

But this is just my opinion, you should consult with someone else.

You are going to share what it is right?

Shush.

Maybe. I'll think about it when I have more done. I've been working on some character design stuff and I've got the first chapter mostly written and thumbnailed, so maybe I'll actually share it when I've got some pages finished.

Worldbuilding is exhausting for any reader, but I'll need a map for my world, eventually. So here's a very sleepy first go.

First of the whole relevant world (which is about half the globe). Three continents.

If you have the money (believe me, wont be cheap), you can hire a cartographer from the Cartographer Guild to make a cool map for you.

Pic absolutely unrelated, I just wanted to share the map I myself made of my novel´s world. I kinda remember a cartographer telling me it made zero sense even when I so-obviously based it in our world.

Anyways, the guys in there are really helpful and will give you more than one hand for cash. Big cash.

So do you like cults and monsters? And blood?

The temptation to puke concentrated lore all over the place right NOW EVERY DAY is strong. It's tricky to predict what is intriguing and what is boring to someone who doesn't live inside my head.

That is an intriguing idea. I may do that far in the future. For now, it would be easy to go on an ego trip to try and justify a map as elaborate as I envision.

By the way, as an American, I'm actually shocked to see you use what I think is made up words and such for place names. Spanish, in all its dialects, is such a great language by which to name places of all kinds. Unless I'm completely missing the spanish influence here beyond Isle de la Luna

I had originally thought you were asking if I actually had anything to share, but after re-reading it I'm guessing you're asking what the plot is.

It's going to be an episodic, fantasy/adventure monster-of-the-week comic where the MC mostly tries to solve problems with (humanoid) monster fucking. There will probably be some continuity, but I don't have any plans for an over-arching plot or anything like that.

Spanish is a great language to name things... for people who speak english.

I mean, dont take me wrong, Spanish sounds fantastic, especially for city names indeed, but for my spanish readers the effect wouldnt be that great. As for the names of the places in there, most arent actually made up - they are named after stars: Deneb Algedi, Sadalsuud, Rasalhague, Betelgeuse, Antares etc et etc. In story the places named after stars were named by the Kiel fallen imperium. Places like Isla de la Luna are relatively new in their discovery and were named by the "barbaric" habitants who discovered them after the fall of the empire.

So do Spanish speakers hear Florida and Colorado and think "... flowery and reddish seem like strange names for places."? It seems so obvious that they would, I can't believe I've never fully realized that.

Yes and no. If we hear them for the first time, like we would in a novel? Absolutely.

In everydays life? Nah, I just think of cities.

That said, there is the "using spanish words" to name and then there is the "using spanish-sounding words". For example, lets say, Malaena Asunta definitely sounds spanish but means jackshit. Just to make up a random city name on the spot.

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Sounds interesting user. I’m up for anything that might feature a vampire or two, so I’ll keep an eye out for it.

By "jackshit" I meant it doesnt mean anything at all despite sounding like spanish, im not sure if that made sense.

Thanks, user. I wasn't actually sure if anyone in these threads would be interested in gay porn, but now I may actually get up the courage to post some of the SFW pages here.

I don't think there's anything wrong with using foreign words as places, names for characters/items/etc.

In fact, it kind of enhances. I can guarantee that if you've played a video game--especially an RPG, or an action/adventure game--most all of its weapons and locations and stuff are either close to, or directly named after existing Japanese/European/etc places or weapons.

It has a tendency to sound mysterious and exotic when you use words from other languages, and you can bet other countries do the same thing. People love to shit on people who make manga/anime inspired comics and use some Japanese words/etc, when Japanese creators us English in manga/anime/video games because it sounds and looks exotic to them.

Asian languages/writing/characters just have such a complex and unusual look to them to anyone outside of that region, that people like to use them just because they tend to lend themselves to visual aesthetics and design as well.

I love when people do that shit.

sure!

I purposely kept my setting as loose as possible so i can do whatever i want and send my characters wherever i want.
Tower city is the only concrete location I have.

Maybe i could do a tourist map of just the city.

I know! Have part of your comic take place in some interesting far-off land, and have a panel of people looking at a map of it, planning their route, and put in funny pun names of places there.

bump?

Is there a right way to write a script? Because I’m writing it mine out and I feel like it looks more like a story than a script.

post it for transients guy

It's not an unheard of idea: Naruto did it, My Hero Academia too maybe? I don't know, point is: nobody will think you ripped off Mao Mao if you go for it. Don't watch Mao Mao in order to avoid it inadvertently seeping into YOUR creative vision. That shit happens subconsciously

Ah shit now I'm tempted to flex MY worldbuilding muscles, too bad the map for me world is on my main computer, not this one

You need the script for two things: 1) dialogue; 2) framing. With framing I mean how you want a certain panel to look, from which angle it's going to be shot, what the characters' position will be in it. If your script sounds more like a story it's not a bad thing per se, although it does sound like you're doing more work than you need. Personally, I reserve accurate panel descriptions only for scenes that need it most (important scenes usually), lesser scenes get a pretty basic description if dialogueless or none (dialogue only): there's times when I'm just too lazy to write stuff down and I'll just figure shit out when I'll actually draw the thing.

Let me show you an example of my script:
-----
34 [

Attached: writing guy.jpg (628x800, 54K)

I’ll post it later... Hopefully. Seems like I have some revisions to do now.
Yeah, I’m doing it all wrong because I didn’t put any framing anywhere in the script and I don’t have my scenes numbered either.. I have dialogue though. So that’s something I guess.

>I have dialogue though. So that’s something I guess.
That's everything my dude. Panel/frame descriptions make it easier to picture a shot but dialogue and internal consistency (i.e. adhering to the rules of your world) are what's really important in the end. So long as you nail those you're set, framing descriptions are secondary (but still recommended, it all depends on your needs)

such a badass.

had a premise for a magical girl series called: Why Do I Have To Be A Magical Girl?

women from the magical girl dimension have begun to marry and have children with human men to produce more magical girls to defend Earth from evil, but one day rather than giving birth too magical girls she instead give birth two a pair of twins a boy and a girl. long story short the girl Jaclyn becomes a powerful magical girl but gets seriously injured and now her brother Jason has to take her place due being 50% magical girl despite being a boy he even has the transformation and everything.

Sounds like you just want to write about crossdressing boys but I like it.

That's a good premise. Shit like that really feels better when there's a backstory that justifies it, so it's not just SheZow

not really literally based of a
joke skit my friend told me

the main character is a teen going through puberty trying to deal with all this bullshit in his life.
his sister is an arrogant asshole coaching him to fill her place in the League of Magical girls.

I would love it if he's clearly this muscular teenage lad with a wispy moustache and everything, with an ill-fitting magical girl costume appearing on him

That's pretty dope. Puts my current attempt at first page to shame.

>stop beating yourself up.
I can't get better if I don't criticize my work though.

All his team members keep unknowingly sexually harassing or making sexual passes at him as a running gag

also had idea that after his first transformation he checks to see if his dick is still there.

There's a difference between properly analyzing and criticizing your own work and actively working to put yourself down.
Every time I draw something I really like I see something posted by someone else that's a thousand times better in terms of composition and coloring and everything really. Bonus points if it's someone who's younger than me. But as hard as it is, I'm starting to learn not to let it get to me too much. Unless you're literally going to die within 24 hours this is not your final form, it's not even close to your final form.
Just keep drawing and keep looking at your mistakes and what could be better, but don't think of your own art as "embarrassing" or other people will think that as well. Just look at the Admiral Pizza user, his art is not great but his sheer enthusiasm is seriously making me like him and his comic a lot more than I would if he posted weekly pages with comments about how much he sucks or something.

criticism is helping
helping is love
yeah that would be amusing

It's not a stupid question. I'm just asking why he thinks other people will somehow be embarrassed by my art even when I don't tell them that I'm embarrassed to show it.

I've never heard that term before. It describes him perfectly!

okay so he's from a lineage of mahou shoujo that come from another dimension.. is this dimension japanesey? what kind of visual/elemental themes will be present in his outfit?
generally you can't go wrong with something Engrishy like Spicy Mace or Berry Tuesday but it might be funny to put in a double entendre about his honker.. something like THE MAGICAL GIRL OF THE HIDDEN WOOD (I'm a boy, dammit!), WAVING BLANCH (sounds like branch but also like blanche like he's inherited some girl-ass codename and his shit won't work if he doesn't say it properly)
I mean the word 'uterus' fucking showed up in a sailormoon attack name. He could have some equally embarrassing power move with 'ovary' in it or something

y'all wilin' out there

this reminds me of that old flash series, blockhead

you can kimda do whatever you want majo shoujo names, provided they are somewhat long winded.
you have a two word minimum.
no more heroes had a magical girl parody where the girls had names like Strawberry on the Shortcake or Blueberry Cheese Brownie.
pick a theme and get ham handed with it.
would be cool if the guys name tries to be cool but falls flat. Like "Dark Sparkle Unicorn" or siomething

I thought those were the names of attacks (I know they were Travis's attacks, but I thought he named them after Glastonbury's attacks), those were actually the names of the members of Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly Five? that's so fantastic. Weird I didn't know that.

Just thought of name for his mother her name is Crimson Currie btw this is not her Magical girl name but her actual name, should this like be a joke for magical girl moms? Because they weren't born on earth so they don't have human names instead they have Magical girl names?

Should there be like a Magical Immigration Services?

Just add some weeb shit

crimson curry is a great name. food plus color plus alliteration works great.

>the Leader is some salty old woman mad her husband left her for a magical girl

seconding that Crimson Currie sounds great, even the spelling change makes it cuter. after all, Cutie/Cutey Honey was never established with a solid spelling, was it?
But the thing is, most of the ones in fiction HAVE real names, even if it's something unusual... a Princess Something or a Half-of-the-Magical-Girl-Name followed by (or preceded by, obviously) a Normal Family Name...
It depends on whether the fiction exists in this world too, based on the 'real thing' of the people coming from another dimension to save earth

If her REAL name is Crimson Currie it just begs the question of whether her son shares one of those names, and then it becomes a whole MLP thing like how do people pass down names in this setting...

well now we know the edition for the next thread. new thread guy, you here?

It's a completely different kind of thing your brain has to figure out now, understandable to be nervous.
1.
3 should be the header icon or something

oh i'm not him, haven't shown my work yet
none ITT, have a few pages done but i haven't posted any of my stuff here yet because i want to put the first thing i'm working on all out at once since it's only around 23 pages. i'm just worried i'll fall into the inevitable webcomic hiatus cycle with my larger project

Seems like voicing won. Only for one vote against fashion. Do I suggest both events and let anons choose or we go with voicing for this first one?

>dat episode
hnnnggg. I love it
you used an apostrophe on 'dogs' though.

oh god, thanks,
i'll go fix it later.

Let's just do this one first, and remind everyone that more events will be coming soon, so if you don't like this one, you might like the next one better.
That's my vote anyway, I'm not the boss.

its my vote too to be honest but I needed another opinion. Aight then.

not all of them, but I make up stuff on the spot anyway.

I'm learning how to draw for 3 month now. Probably tomorrow i will post first page.

>one-shot cooking webcomic.
did you just make this for fun or something? I know its /hyw/ but it seems so weird and made for no one. none of these plebs can afford steaks.
I enjoyed the drawings though.

>look at 1st episode
>look at last episode
are there any other comics out there where the art becomes worse as time goes on?

dewds

But it got better.

How many of you here ever accidentally didn't save and had their program crashed?

Rare, but one thing that has happened is I was working on a new layer, filled it with white without realizing, flattened it without thinking, and lost all my progress. or the same but for part of it only..

heyy so.. new thread guy isn't here I take it?

>none of these plebs can afford steaks.
