I think if you tone down the intensity it'll do you wonders. I hope I'm not overstepping bounds with a suggestion, but maybe take a few of panels to show him getting up, her reaction being confused or ashamed about to pull away, then he pulls her in for the kiss in the catbox page?

I will say that your comic is very well done, anon. do you have a blog or anything to follow? Would be great to see more of your stuff.
>>
>>7171290
>I hope I'm not overstepping bounds with a suggestion
Definitely not, I got additional feedback from another board and I also had to explain the intent behind the panel, so there has to be some kind of change. It seems clear that most people will not get it in the current state.
As for your suggestion, I kinda want him to do it apruptly to set a contrast in relation to the rest of the comic, where anon is just overall really passive, so I'll have to convey it in a single panel. And also because I'm too lazy.
And don't feel bad for suggestin stuff. It just shows that you care, which is cool.

>normalfags DO NOT pay for art
>They want it free to be able to see on their phones for 5 seconds and move on
But it is exactly the same with NSFW.
The majority of the online audience is there only to get free shit, and you are playing the lottery to get found by a minority in a niche who is willing to pay for their own specific fetishes, when the big majority is a young audience, followed by porn addicts who will just take anything and give you likes and validation so you keep feeding them more, followed by lots of grifters i.e. other "content creators/nsfw artists" who just play the hugbox game to farm numbers, followed by scrapers who will take your coom to sell merch, followed by a minority of "game developers" and an even bigger minority of commissioners.
Commissioners who commission nsfw artists are always the same people maybe commissioning a few big accounts to draw their OCs, so others will draw their OCs for free to ride that clout/trend.
It's akin to a marketing strategy:
>"Sure, i might have spent xyz amount for a comm of my OC, but if the artists share it and it starts to go viral, then other artists pick it up and draw me free shit. If it don't work, i still didn't waste money because i still got something out of it"
You very rarely see someone commissioning an artist multiple times for the same character in a short time span; wouldn't you want to have more scenarios and art of "your OC"? Go lurk OC/draw threads on other boards to get an idea.
In the end, commissioners just have superficial fetishes and they try to get people infected with it, like a fetishist stereotypically does to ultimately get more content of their fetish.

If i liked xyz, i would comm here and there so it would create a chain reaction of other starving artists trying to get in on the trend and make me free xyz shit.
If i can think of this, having no interest in getting free xyz, do you think someone who is obsessed with a fetish won't do that?

I totally wasn't expecting the subject matter of this one. Ironically, I think that a dragon being used as a mount would have taken me by surprise a little less.

I really like the flowy manner in which you drew the hair of your characters: the somewhat whirly arrangements of their strands blowing in the breeze are quite pleasant, and they subtly but effectively communicate a welcomed hint of vitality in an otherwise dormant scenery.

Also worthy of note is the level of three-dimensionality achieved through the painstaking amount of detail involved in your construction method, a most-desirable trait that has come to be expected from your work.

On the subject of the main feature of this piece, that's quite a girthy sauropod... perhaps just a bit too girthy.

I'm no paleontologist, and I hardly ever attempt to draw animals, so I'm mostly going by my memories of conventional depictions of dinosaurs and dragons, but I get the impression that your sauropod's torso might have come out a little too corpulent in relation to its legs.

https://svpow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/puertasaurus-sandow-4big.jpg

Of course, one can only make educated guesses regarding the complexions of these long-extinct creatures, but, judging by the following article, the bodies of sauropods in particular might have been akin to those of imaginary hybrids with elephant-like torsos and elongated, hippo-like legs:

>>
>>7169678
>made some adjustments but honestly I don't know if they helped

They definitely did, in my opinion. I can notice that you chose to raise the outer end of the foreground set of lashes instead of lowering that of the furthermost one, and I think I can guess why: you didn't want to sacrifice Alessio's original foxy expression by de-emphasizing the curving of his eyes, and, by extension, the upwards push of his smiling cheeks. In any case, the gist of my recommendation was to double-check the symmetry of both sets of lower eyelashes, a piece of advice that you followed rigorously and to good effect.

Just make sure to raise slightly both the crease of the furthermost upper eyelid and its corresponding eyebrow. By adding a few extra pixels of vertical width to the area in question, specifically until the levels pertaining to said features are in parallel alignment with those of the eyelashes and the mouth, Alessio's facial balance would be technically irreproachable.

Regarding your discomfort with Alessio's eyes, my best supposition is that it might have something to do with the current amount of distance between them: provided that you intend to follow the proportion guideline of "the width of an eye" as the degree of separation, the distance between a character's eyes in a 3/4 view should encompass, at the very least, the foreshortened width of the furthermost one. In other words, unless your stylistic choice is to depart from said guideline, the eye furthest from the viewer in this portrait of Alessio is a bit too wide to accurately convey the general perspective of his face.

My suggestion is that you attempt to narrow down slightly the width of the eye in question by "squishing" it, just until the distance between both eyes is broad enough to contain the furthermost one.

Apart from that, I would suggest that you accentuate the presence of Alessio's testicles, given that their current size is a bit too understated, even for a prepubescent boy.

Is there an art course or book that shows how to shade like the GOATS but in digital? When I use fountain pens and map pens on paper, it's not hard. When I try to do it in digital I don't know what the fuck to do to get same results. In fact, mangaka who do digital art have dogshit shading.

this entire thread is retarded. its called rendering not shading. older mangaka used ink and zippatone/toner packs for everything. modern shitters use clip studio and blender and similar programs for it. some do mix of trad and digital. for soem artists theyll render with copic for grey tones or if doing color pages. others bust out gouache or water color.

the issue with modern digital versions is they arent even inking the hatching or other lines. its all with digital brushes so you get the same look and generic linework with no variations. across so many no talent 3d tracers, it blends together and gives the modern shit look to all manga. the lack of imperfections in the linework and hatching is the major imperfection of modern manga. it also leads to the faux amateur look gege and chainsaw guy do. they are blatant 3d models and objects for everything but the chicken scratch lines and shit looking art let people forgive it somehow. like they believe its just bad artist and not deliberate shitter.
