Anon you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, so why do you insist on making a fool of yourself? It's a service elevator for baxxid, connecting the baxxid living area to the human city above. This isn't a hard concept to grasp.

that makes no sense for a couple reasons.
you're extending the wall down further than it actually is. in the previous shot, the platform is level.
also you're assuming this is the bottom floor. Which, okay, but what happens when he comes back down? could crush someone.

Who anon, who is he going to crush? Its a service elevator for big heavy and extremely intelligent worm monsters who don't have hands.

>>146888987
i realize that it would be easy to headcanon a reason that this makes sense for this specific setting and this species and this context
but part of visual storytelling is that it should seem logical right from the start, unless being confused is the actual goal. Sometimes you even make things hyper-real or unrealistic-but-illustrative so that people follow
i dont think anyone thought, as he walked into that alcove, that it was an elevator. the walls look totally continuous, there are basically zero visual cues
that's fine you say? but then the next panels don't make it totally clear what's going on.

>>146889010
They do though? Anon I think you might just be severely autistic. The elevator is spartan because it's for baxxid, they dont need guardrails and having them would just get in the way. There are other elevators for humans.

>>146888935
most of the ones I read nowadays only have a single bonus that hasn't been updated in forever, if they've got anything at all, so I'm glad to know the tradition is still alive, and not as dead as I had begun to believe

I, the reader, was perfectly able to understand that page. I am also very certain that the average person, even with no prior knowledge of the content on display, would be able to deduce what is happening here with little to no help.

I promise I'm not the only one who had trouble there. If there was at least some kind of visible mechanism on the cable things at the corners that I assume are what operates the elevator. Or the camera could nudge up or down to throw us a hint.

Twokinds would be #1 if Tom would be less lazy, would actually put out a new page more than once a month, and would stay on top of the voting incentives.

>>146888907
Topwebcomics really is a relic from the past, and it's kind of a shame it's still the #1 webcomic aggregator. Its weird system boosting crap like Kawaii Kissu to the top makes it kind of irrelevant, and the only reason it got kicked out of the top 10 is that Lancer, Vision Haze, and Vixen Logic started recommending each other.

>are there even any webcomics left that still do votebait bonus content?
I'm seeing Marble Gate Dungeon up there, and that guy occasionally does a new pin-up for the vote.

>>146886847
>Normalsville
It's been shilled here a bunch, but I genuinely enjoy it. I hope the shilling won't lead to mods deleting it in the future. It's a good example of good bad art. It looks like it's drawn in Paint, and the artist lacks technical skill. Movement is conveyed with little arrows. But the artist also understands a few key art basics, such as contrast, so the comic ends up looking pretty dynamic. Anyway, it's a comedy about a bunch of friends and acquaintances living in an American college town. It's funny. It is also furry.

>The Dragoness Says Sit
Has taken the smart move of posting the comic on every site that will take it. Has its own site, is present on Webtoons, Global Comix, etc. It's about a young man who gets adopted by a hot dragoness. That's it. The objective of the comic is 100% to dangle the possible future of them fucking in front of you.

>Revenants
Dude discovers he was trained to be a soldier as a kid in some weird Manchurian Candidate type program. Decides to join a resistance movement less because of any real political convictions, and more because he realizes his unconscious training makes him dangerous to be around. And everyone is furries.

>Marble Gate Dungeon
Every once in a while a gate to a randomized D&D type dungeon appears somewhere, and adventurers flock to it. Colleen, a shy nerd blessed with Clerical powers, is one such an adventurer. Spurned by the group she planned to join, she is forced to work together with the guy no-one wants to work with, an experienced but perpetually drunk and pissed off Dwarf. Frankly one of the better looking Fantasy comics, and especially character and creature design is great. Really slow, though, due to not having many panels per page.

>Daughter of the Lilies
A mage who hides her face joins a group of adventurers in a world where Orcs speak Polish (because it's really our world in the future). Decent art, cute MC, terrible pacing. Wouldn't recommend it, to be honest.

I'll catch up on Order of the Stick any day now.
(I've been saying this for the past 5-6 years)

I read & imagine mine and follow a few others

I read a bunch of stuff, varying quality.
>Sluggy Freelance
Probably one of if not THE longest running "posts a strip every single day even if it's some non-canon stick figure doodle" comic around, and still running to this day. Started in 1997 as a simple gag-a-day nonsense comic about some slacker and his slacker friend getting up to shenanigans. Characters were added to the cast, and then there started being actual story arcs. Then the story arcs remained canon, and had other story arcs refer back to them. Vampires, ghosts, aliens, time travel, an entire dimension of demons, crazy scientists, and it's all interconnected. To get a general idea of how crazy it is, one plotline that started back in 1999 just had it's big reveal in 2021. The plotline still isn't 100% finished either. It's a wild ride, but the mother of all archive binges as well.
Would recommend.
>S.S.D.D.
Stumbled across this one and got interested in a current plotline. Did an archive binge to discover the rest of it is mostly garbage, and the artwork was even worse at one point. The halfway interesting plotline is some future space-marine character who got some experimental hardware grafted into their head, who can now communicate with the AI's fast enough that they assume she's an AI. Just about everything else is just stupid 20-something antics and author whining about the US or harping about brit superiority. The current artwork is pretty bad, and it gets even worse the deeper you go back in the archives.
Wouldn't recommend.
>Faux Pas
Talking animals newspaper-style strip with consistently decent artwork that manages to be funny every now and then. Nothing amazing, but it's more aimed at boomers for newspapers than at the internet crowd. It doesn't dangle "will they or won't they", the MC and his love interest have had children by now. Updates very regularly, avoids current politics, generally stays away from most problems webcomics suffer from.
Would recommend.

>>146895221
Webcomics are ultimately an amateur endeavor, which is precisely what makes them unique in the first place. A lot of webcomics are going to have guilty pleasure elements because they're always going to be whatever some random internet person absolutely, positively wanted to make without the interference of outsiders. It doesn't have to convince publisher busybodies, it doesn't even have to convince the market. If the author wants to make it, they can. And many do.

>>146896106
you're describing webcomics on the old internet
on the phonernet sadly none of those are true, and all the old hosts were torn down to make room

>>146896248

>>146896343
Circular reasoning.

>>146896425
no, just lazy
I could pick apart what each of the incorrect things was, but it was all of it. the idea of it being whatever the person wanted to make, the lack of interference by randos or publishers, the ability to do anything you want
all true of earlier days, but flat-out dead since 2016. Your options for hosting are closely limited, heavily censored, and even if you pay for your own site, if enough people on Reddit don't like it, it's gone.

The rock should be a mimic and eat her

I'm looking for a short comic strip, kind of offtopic though.
It's about a woman admiring her trophies labeled life achievements. A man, wearing a shirt with the word Life on it, shows up at her door with a baseball bat. She's surprised and sad but leta him in. He walks into her home and wrecks all of her trophies. Lamenting her trophies she kneels and begins salvaging the remains and starts over.

>>146888673
I'm going through this list, and I'll give my opinions of the things I've read thus far.

>HELLO FROM HALO HEAD
Not my thing. Competent art. Too wordy.

>Freefall
Never read much of it, but know of it. First examples date back to the 80's. Oldest webcomic I know of.

>Runaway to the Stars
I'm of two minds on this one. The art's great, the aliens are cool, and the believable space tech is also cool. On the other hand, the story is way too slow, the characters are annoying, and there's a dirty feel to all of it. It's like someone decided to make an SF comic with everything I think is cool and everything I hate. Ugh.

>Addictive Science
Read one of the dude's other comics. Saving this one for when I need to some primo furry autism.

>Out of Placers
Bit of a guilty pleasure. It shouldn't work, but it does. I guess I'm autistic enough to enjoy porn without the porn.

>Gone Feral
It's an Endtown clone. Pacing way too slow, though. Wouldn't be able to guess from the art that the author is also a porn artist who has contributed works on this very site.

>Concerning Matters of Blood
A better read than you would think. It's pretty new and only just getting started, but if the author keeps up this pace it might actually get somewhere. Yes, I want to bone the giant vampire bitch.

>Leaving the Cradle
Been on my to read list for a while. Seems a little hokey, like a B movie.

>Topside Tales
Endtown fan comic. All I know is that the otter is cute. Gets fanart from the other artist who participated in the same threads as the Gone Feral guy.

>Slightly Damned
Old. Used to read it when I was young. Cute furry critters.

>Tales from Alderwood
Mildly entertaining Fantasy comic. A little too generic for my taste.

>Sequential Art
Gag comic that pretends to not be furry, but Jolly Jack is into some freaky shit. Read if you long for the 2000's era of webcomics.

>Squires for Hire
Fantasy Lite. Gets by on being cute and funny. Good Goblins.

>>146901841
>Prequel
You gotta be into yellow cats if you want to read this one.

>Endtown
It's a mystery. Used to be really, really good almost despite its autistic author. His previous comics attempts are all sucky newspaper comics, but Endtown really hits that median between comedy and horror. Until it completely jumps the shark on a whim of the author if you know, you know. Haven't read much of it after that point. One of the best webcomics, quite literally until it's not.

>Vision Haze
Furry comedy that isn't all that funny, but the art is good. I like his personal site, too.

>The Perry Bible Fellowship
A staple of internet comedy. The sort of webcomic your friends who don't read webcomics are familiar with. Somehow still updates. Not as funny as it used to be.

>Gone with the Blastwave
>A bit of a time capsule of comedy that used to be popular years ago (and actually good at it). Updates maybe once per year if you're lucky. Not a very demanding read.

>Power Nap
Not my thing. Didn't hook me. Interesting premise, though.

>The Abominable Charles Christopher
This is still going? Man, I remember when this would be everyone's standard webcomic recommendation.

>Stand Still Stay Silent
Everyone used to suck its dick until the author went Christian. Strong intro, but lost me with pages upon pages of its main characters being Tumblr cute before even getting to the main plot. But it's ended, so probably a good recommend for everyone who wants to read a comic that's actually done.

I remember it being set up a while ago that Holly and Wally's forms were somehow bled over from a slapstick cartoon in a parallel universe. Endtown was always aiming to be a furry Dark Tower type deal, not only post-apocalyptic.

>Addictive Science
>Saving this one for when-
please don't. it doesn't get better. I thought it would, since webcomics do start off rough, and I figured an SSSS reader wouldn't recommend it if it didn't get good eventually.
onlly reason I keep at it is rss feeds make it too easy to give new pages a quick read, and my shit taste stops me from taking offense to how bad it is. and I shudder to think how much longer the archive's gotten in the last decade, wouldn't want anyone to subject themselves to that.
where "the dragoness says sit" may be a guilty pleasure, this is my guilty sunk cost fallacy

>>146886847
the only comic i read that's ongoing is bittersweet candy bowl. i came across it cause there's threads of it here every time it updates. recently they've been dying down though, and that's because the comic's very fucking boring. especially after the Eternal Flame chapter, which is the part in the story where you think everything would turn around and things would change and get interesting, but nope, it was just a return to the status quo.

i've never been so autistically attached to something and be so indifferent towards it at the same time. like... the comic's not the worst thing ever, but it could certainly be a whole lot better. the art style is good for the most part, even if some things like perspective and anatomy are wonky at some places, but the writing really needs work.

>>146903360
Addictive Science has one goal in mind, and I think it succeeds at hitting that goal. Why so many webcomics are about TF I'll never know.

>>146903581
The main reason I suspect (as a tf connoisseur) is that the medium works best when you can show off the transformation itself and all the consequences associated with the changes afterwards. That's why I think so many comics are tf related. A single image can't do it justice sometimes.

>>146900985
Last I checked, it was when Wally and co were leaving the cartoon universe, and updates had fallen off a cliff.

>>146902052
This. I started avoiding the threads when people got upset about Holly and the lizard, and started acting like Endtown was ALWAYS supposed to be "slow-burn-romance of Holly and Wally in the wastes", and every plotline not related to them was cancer. I thought once Holly was entirely written out of the strip they would go find something else to read, but instead they just camped in the Endtown threads on trash and made their own fan-fiction of what they thought Endtown should be instead of making their own fucking thread for their head-canon universe.
Fun stuff, check out the TV-tropes page for Endtown history. Go to before Holly got written out of the comic, and after, and see the difference in how the page is written. Goes from a page about the comic written by fans, to a page about the comic written by someone who is clearly disappointed in both the comic and the writer.

help me understand anon, what do you like about Addictive Science?
I'll be fair, I do get a laugh out of it from time to time, but for me reading it is mostly a matter of routine, I can't even claim it's a guilty pleasure. I do find the humour to be kinda meh, bordering on predictable, and the artstyle isn't particularly pleasing to the eyes.
the storyline and character cast has gotten way too extensive for me to keep track off, to the point I just roll with it when some character I'm apparently supposed to remember comes back.
is it possible to truly enjoy it without a TF fetish?

>>146903581
if nothing else, I can see it being a pretty good and light-hearted creative and fetish outlet for Cervelet to relieve stress and have fun, which is a commendable goal.

>>146903581
>Why so many webcomics are about TF I'll never know.
Same reason so many manga series are Isekai. It's an easy way of putting someone the audience can relate to(average Joe) in a situation that is unique. Average Joe goes to work is boring. Average Joe gets transformed into an alien or furry(or with Isekai media, gets teleported to another world) and has to adapt, that's a premise for a story.

>>146904083
>is it possible to truly enjoy it without a TF fetish?
I don't know because I have a tf fetish and that's why I like it.

what's really sad is a lot of this fetishy shit is sitll something I enjoy just as.. a thing
people getting restrained and tickled is supposed to be pure comedy. that's Lupin III shit. and transformation is just supposed to be cool, maybe horrifying, maybe a power fantasy.

>>146886847
Asking as a webcomic creator, what attracts you anons to a new series?

>>146904653
cuteness, humor, badassness, and the feeling that this isn't going to be a dry lore slog. i respect dry lore slogs, i just don't have it in me to read them.

>>146904653
fellow comic creator myself, but generally the art/character design or if the description is interesting enough, anything with a super bland description if the art isnt great makes me click away.

Art has it's value but the story reigns supreme.
Decent pacing in tune with an engaging narration works wonders even with stick figures. (Which is kind of the opposite of so many korean and japanese webtoons that focus on beautiful art while reading it feels like eating the cardboard they print and sell it on.)


This picture for example is from a comic which had something interesting going on despite being basically talking heads on an abstract background. But now the creator has their characters meandering in an endless purgatory with no noticeable plot progression whatsoever.

>>146905049
one of the best written comics I know is by a guy who is clearly still amateur at drawing (but he's trying)
and that has fucking mecha in it, which is hard even for really good artists.

>>146904653
>Does it have stuff I like?
Pretty simple, right? I'm more willing to give something the benefit of the doubt when it's selling something I like. That can be its genre, its subject matter, or simply whether I think it's sexy or not.

>Does it look good?
Art is pretty much the business card of a comic. I've started reading comics on the strength of single posted pages, or even (in the distant past) on those little ads that were literally pixels wide. This doesn't have to mean technical skill, though. I've read comics that are technically amazing, but are boring to look at (or read), and one of my recent favorites looks simple as fuck. Nevertheless, comics are a visual medium, and I'm not going to read shit like stick figure comics. Write a fucking book if that's your thing.

>How does it read?
Now that I'm actually reading it, there's a bunch of things that will keep me reading it. I'm mostly in the market for long form comics, so I'm leaving gag comics beyond the pale for this. I want stuff to happen. I want to get a good idea of who the characters are, what motivates them, and how things are going to revolve around that going forward. A story is change, so the best thing to get me to stop reading a comic is for nothing to change for a long time. Give me a good idea of where things are supposed to go, and go there. Most webcomics have incredible pacing issues, so my advice would be to be aware of that. Have a plan of where you want to be in 50 pages, a 100, 200, etc. Recently I read a comic that's been active for 10 years and only just got its main story started. Don't be that comic. I also enjoy efficient writing. I'm not sitting here to read mountains of text, and my experience is that it's usually a sign of bad writing, or bad use of the medium. Art is here to do a lot of heavy lifting.

Beyond that, remain consistent. Regularity keeps readers coming back.

>>146905459
Same anon from reply and this:
>Give me a good idea of where things are supposed to go, and go there.

Is way more important than most give credit for. I've been doing a webcomic for almost 10 years and started it without thinking exactly where I would go with it than 'have fun and people will come'. After 8 years, I saw that was a dumb way to go and while I had a growing readership that quickly diminished once my updates became too erratic. Now give been pouring more into a new version that's building off the old with a new style, set plot and more focus on characterizations.

I did start a second webcomic recently keeping more in mind what I learned from doing the first. Having a plot, clear defined characters and a better focus on who I'd want my market to be (people who like military characters taking on paranormal oddities). So far that's been kicking off better cause I posted it more in places on the net where people wanted a webcomic like that than blinding posting on social media. Keeping up the consistency is major part too.

Describing this one sounds like you're having a stroke. Canadian Cassette Futurism Mallpunk Furry Urban Fantasy. It takes place in an alternate 80's or 90's Canada under occupation by the US, with lots of chunky technology and hover cars that look like old concept cars (the main character's ride is a hovering Citroën Karin). The main character is an anthro sand cat, but most people are human. I haven't read all of it yet (there are almost 300 pages), but so far it's following the girlfailure main character and being oddly compelling in doing so. Part of the fun is seeing this nutso world unfold in what is undoubtedly the comic's strongest point: The art. This is some highly detailed weird ass future world, and the art is good not just for a webcomic, but for comics in general. It sort of reminds me of loooooooooong dead webcomic Stark Reality, and that guy was published in Heavy Metal. Though, I'm not sure what to think of the main character's fish lips and her friend's giant hands. Pretty easy recommend if you like weird comics and can deal with a main character who uses they/them pronouns.

I barely noticed it. But, you know, it's there. I know how people feel about that sort of stuff. It's not the main show, though. As for that other thing, I have no idea. But take away the snow and replace it with water and you're describing Derelict.

>>146906941
It's on his new grounds. He also has a small comic about the revolutionary War. Kind of like hetalia axis powers if you remember that.

>>146907053
I always thought it was neat that TES treats humanity as being as diverse as most Fantasy treats non-human races. Kinda feels weird when you can play as a bunch of Slightly Different Elves, but humans are all the same.

>>146907077
there are occasions where i will briefly tolerate it, but it had better not be in a historical or fantasyesque setting. If you wanna just reflect real life, i am willing to be patient and wait for real life to change so the reflection changes too.
>Derelict
YES, that was it. I was mixing it up with that other comic where the world was just frozen and everyone was on a train. Good job matey.
Weirdly, when you try to look it up, the best most complete and readable result is a completely unrelated comic about robots.

There are a number of shrinking webcomics if you know where to look. Macro and vore have far less which is strange with how relatively popular those fetishes are. Christ just gave myself burnout thinking about having to draw cities for a macro comic.

>>146904653
I'm a sucker for aliased artstyles or "first contact" stories.
A recommendation, seeing people storytime or discuss a comic does improve the chances I may read the current archives, which the first step towards adding it to my reading list.

Other than that, it's a semi-random combination of many factors: How long's the archive vs how bored and how much free time I have today; artstyle, writing quality, narrative quality; any interesting technical, narrative or interactive gimmicks; whether I'm in the mood for whatever the plot is like at the moment; whether I'm familiar with the author's other works, whether I hit a slog in the middle of the story and I'm able to get past it... and the final test, whether I can find a working RSS feed for it vs how willing I am to make an exception for this particular comic

An example: The Bright Side
Emily, a little girl, meets death through random chance. They become friends, and while the girl learns about death's powers, job, personality, death does the same, on top of learning about a human world he hadn't actually been paying much attention to.
Scores a "first contact" right from the start, which offsets an extensive archive I'm still chipping through whenever I find the time and have the itch for more philosophical talk between those two. Not great art-wise, more like somewhat minimalistic chicken scratches, but it's still got a somewhat distinct artstyle to it.
Lately though I've hit a bit of a slog with the story focusing more on how socially withdrawn Emily is growing towards the human world: She's become a misanthrope, friends only with Death ("Dee"), which only she can see and talk to, being for most intents and purposes an imaginary friend, and like any good friend, Dee is worried about the effect he may be having on her.
A logical development, something that would work fine for other readers, and maybe even me on other comics, but it's not what I had signed up for back when it piqued my curiosity

No

I actually quite like Misfile's ending. Some people are unhappy due to the way it resolves the question of Ash's gender but then they can just go on reading El Goonish Shive (which ironically has a pretty similar thing with Elliott).

Which reminds me, EGS is another one I regularly check. It's inane and infuriating but there's really a bunch of boneriffic designs and setups.

Went through the archives at one point, but never stuck around. It's competent, but nothing special. Art's good, but not great, and kinda lacks identity. The writing is OK for what it is, but I didn't end up caring about any of the characters. And I'm just not into capes, so the plot never had a chance to interest me. That said, it's remarkably restrained for a comic by someone who used to be a prolific oldschool hardcore furry bondage artist.

It’s been nice to see Deon’s work improving slowly but surely. I remember when his first comic was posted on /co/, and besides the memo being stacked /co/ pointed out how ugly the comic was. And I agreed with them. Imagine if he took that to heart and just stopped there, only promising to do a comic later when he could draw well enough. But he didn’t, and now he’s got his audience and connections.

It’s taken me way too long to learn that the people who are most likely to succeed are the people who actually put stuff out, no matter how crude anyone thinks it is. Because at least people know it’s there.
