It can be a stick figure I'm not picky
>>150351281I updated today but this is just a sketch of an upcoming page. Not on my webcomic but someone said that one of my characters reminds them of a drunk korra. I have never in my life watched that soooo I'll have to assume it's accruate. Here is the update btwhttps://tapas.io/series/Annoarcana/infohttps://tapas.io/episode/3653506
>tfw can't draw and can't find any alternativesI wish genAI tech didn't suck so that those of us not born as schizophrenic ear-cutting mutants actually had the chance to express ourselves artistically.
>>150351445>Can't drawHow come anon?
>>150351445>guy with no ideas be like
>>150351876Like I said, not a schizo. Literally every artist in history is mentally ill. The ability to make pictures with drawn lines and insanity are intrinsically linked. >>150352094I got plenty of ideas, I just can't draw. And that means I'm functionally not allowed to tell a story in the way I want to.
>>150352562You can always just write my friend.
>>150352562>>150352968 is right, writing is the path for those who cant draw, or at least draw *well*. Its why I teamed up with my drawfag friend ive known since middle school to start up our cape comic (and others, we're getting to them). I know thats likely not an option for you, but there's an ocean of artists out there ready and willing to get something in motion, all you have to do is start fishing for them. Whether they'll do it for free is another matter altogether, but thats for another day
>>150353065How's it been for you so far? I'm not sure I'd have the stamina for this kind of thing.
>>150352968Nobody reads anymore. A story MUST have visuals, or else any prospective audience will ignore it outright. >>150353065Damn right is not an option. Artists know people worship them, so the parasites invariably take the opportunity to steal the credit for any story they work on. Get ready for your "friend" to fuck you over.
>>150352562>Literally every artist in history is mentally ill. Was just talking to someone about this. The problem is people think the art causes the insanity, when it's the other way around. People feeling rejected and shitty and/or actually ill use art to cope with how empty and fucked up the world seems. Just like how depression makes a lot of writers. expression is the medicine, you can't be shocked when most of the customerbase of a medicine is the sick.
/hyw/ is just the /agdg/ of /co/ and I can't laugh at you guys more.
>>150353690Nice cope there, Pablo. It doesn't matter if the chicken or the egg came first, the fact is that all artists are still ear-cutting freaks.
>>150353630Ah, don't be so negative anon. >A story MUST have visuals, Not really man. If you are looking for a movie tier audience than maybe yeah but if you're just looking for someone to share your story with you can find that in any medium you wanna try :D
>>150351281>>Thread Challenge:Ok
>>150353770Again, nobody wants to read. Literature is dead.
Webcomicon is this weekend - who are your top 5 webcomics?
>>150353375>staminaIt's funny you say that, because it has absolutely nothing to do with it. Stamina gets you through a marathon or a rough day at work, and thats fine. That's what it's for. But that wont help you with something long term like a webcomic, or any kind of storytelling, for that matter. *Drive* is what keeps you at something like a creative endeavor. The will to see it through, no matter what, hell or high water be damned. Lemme be real for a second: the page from this comic that I've posted here was created, in full, 11 years ago now. The idea that germinated into that image popped into my head probably a good decade before that, if not more. And it's still from the only chapter we've ever produced so far, because life fucking happened right as we were starting up. I got hit with the second greatest heartbreak of my entire life which spiraled me headlong into a horrific depression that ive juuuuust now been able to crawl my way out of. And meanwhile, my art friend went home and became a damn family man and got himself a wife and kid. And you know what? We're still up and willing to keep at this. Its all about simply *wanting it to be*. Ive quite literally never went a day without plotting out some narrative point or character arc inside my head for twenty goddamn years now, and now that ive got my personal demons reined in finally we're getting back to work to make it an actual reality. If you dont have the drive, the need to create, to make something new, then you simply won't want to keep the fire lit and you'll move onto something else. If you want it, you'll chase it. Simple ashttps://youtu.be/c8R5BsoS4b8?si=iD7HxCVRbjrOpGRL
>>150353865This sloth comic is inspired. it's so different from your other comics.>>150354414oh, I didn't even know webcomicon existed. pretty interesting for anyone interested in webcomics.It's in Detroit so I won't be going.
>>150351281>>Thread Challenge:>Show us your updates and/ or draw your character enjoying the upcoming fall! It can be a stick figure I'm not pickysince it's autumn I got the idea to make falling leaves cascading randomly on my newest pages.I would be finished this page by now but I've been too busy getting drunk

>>150351281I made two new pages since the last thread, i just updated today too: https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/spicy-mud/huevo/viewer?title_no=1087902&episode_no=71/2*The 5th ghost did not show up, So Jello convinces Quetzalcoatl himself to stand n for the 5th luchador ghost she was promised giving her access to God tier power... But the monkey's paw curls as she must first eat and survive the hottest pepper on earth, which is the nightmarish "Pepper X"! Find out if she survives this pepper from hell in the next exciting page of SPICY MUD!
>>1503552072/2Jello becomes an egg, but that's not going to stop her from shouting the magic word that awakens her ultimate power! Find out what hatches from the egg in the next exciting page of SPICY MUD!
>>150353728>tfw i dont know what these letters meanOh god....it's happening.......
>>150355226Spoilers! Dialog preview for the next page! About to do the line art soon!
>>150355207>LaparkaVeo lo que hiciste allí.
I haven’t posted in this thread in a long long ass time but just to show Cat Girl is in production, here’s a good hand I drew.
>>150355999Si, amigo. lol. La Parka was going to be Jello's 5th ghost, having her eat a carolina reaper pepper, reaper being a play on the word La parka which means grim reaper in english, and yes, it was the AAA mexican luchador superstar La parka that died wrestling in real life back in 2020, he was the second AAA La parka, there is a 3rd one now in 2025, I like all three La parka's desu.
>>150356168My beautiful disaster of an incel is coming soon, can't wait to see it.
>>150356214>AAA mexican luchador superstar La parka that died wrestling in real life back in 2020¿Que what?
>>150356387It’s gonna be so much more disastrous than you remember
>>150351281I forget. Variations on people understanding or being swept away by the stream of madness.https://tapas.io/episode/3644961
>>150356472Long story short, La parka was the most popular wrestler in mexico, he caught the eye of wcw, and left to wrestle in america, but AAA wrestling was pissed and made a new la parka and when the OG la parka came back to mexico he was forced to change his name to l.a. park, so the og la parka and new la parka fought in 2 epic mask matches for the title of the real la parka in mexico, sadly, even though the 2nd la parka won the rights to the name, he died wrestling in 2020, so halloween last year a new la parka was resurected in the AAA storyline, i think the 2nd la parkas son, carrying on his dads legacy and the legacy of the OG la parka, because la parka is the most popular wrestler in all of mexico. think the rock, or jhon cena in america!*many mexicans say psycho clown was the jhon cena of mexico the way he was pushed to win every match and pushed in the media so much outside of wrestling.while la parka is genuily liked and loved as a wrestler without being pushed by the triple A or outside media.
>>150356472Rey Mysterio killed him in the ring.
>>150357030What? Wrasslin' ain't real, bro.
>>150356800I fucking love wreslting.
major lupin the third inspo
>>150355911line arts done.>>150357030no, it was an accident against a random wrestler, la parka hit his head on a metal steel wall while flying out of the ring, his foot got caught on the rope so he couldn't get the distance he normally got while flying out of the ring head first into the crowd at a wrestler behind a wall. they tried to rush him to the hospital but he died on the way there from head and neck injuries.>>150357158the storylines and fights are fake but the moves are real and dangerous if not done correctly, landing the wrong way on the wrong body part could cost you your life or leave you paralyzed for life. >>150357936me too!
I got a thumbnail cover from my hired, he did a good job on the lion head but he didn't replicate the style i wanted i feelI have another guy from NG who'd also like to work w/ me and is much cheaper, who should i choose?
>>150359107Try out a style test, tell the artist you'll pay him for the test and do something small if you're strapped for cash or another cover if you're not.
>>150359305I could get one page for 40 so that seems like a fair test
>>150358903solid colors done, needs glowing effects, gold effects, etc.
>>150358493nice character. do you have any pages of this comic done?>>150359447you work pretty fast.how has your views and likes been ? I remember you were getting a lot awhile back. I think.
<--- completed this page. I may do some finishing touches but I think its done.
>>150359447ok, now the page art is done. >>150359536>you work really fastyears of practice, nothing special lol. >you was getting lots of views.NOT ANYMORE! Thats all gone, literally doesn't matter if i got a million views lol, my comic fury account got banned, probably porn related which taught me a valuable lesson, dont upload your sfw comics on the same account as you nsfw comics. you risk loosing everything like i did this year. over 500k views on my uboss dailies sfw comic, 300k on my gluzzy master nsfw comic.im going to reboot uboss dailies for webtoons, only tap wont be the main character, been there, done that, nobody understood meme magic so im taking that away from her to, skag will be the main character, no cursing, or edgy shit either, or drawing it bad on purpose to add to the humor, not even going to be a humor comic this time around, and it wont be called uboss dailies, just... uboss...
>>150359674Don't ask me how I know but I heard Betz was the one that reported you
I'm thinking maybe I should give my characters bigger tits
>>150359674>NOT ANYMORE! Thats all gone, literally doesn't matter if i got a million views lol, my comic fury account got banned, probably porn related which taught me a valuable lesson, dont upload your sfw comics on the same account as you nsfw comics. you risk loosing everything like i did this year. over 500k views on my uboss dailies sfw comic, 300k on my gluzzy master nsfw comic.damn that's nuts.
>>150359674just finished page 12: https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/spicy-mud/viva-la-mexico/viewer?title_no=1087902&episode_no=8&serviceZone=GLOBALJello doesn't realize it but she is just a little human girl and she needs to go home and rest, her body has went through many supernatural transformations for the first time and all at once, the human body has it's limits, especially for a child. Besides her parents are worried sick about her! lol>>150359958forced meme lol
>>150360040No meme forcing man just what I heard. Ignore it if you want but I'd encourage you to not dismiss it.
>>150351281Writing/Thumbnailing my next couple of chapters now. Going through a lot personally so it took me awhile to get back into things. >TQa lot of people compliment my art/character designs, which is always nice. Hopefully one day people will like the writing too. https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/montana-sunset-the-hobo-samurai-/list?title_no=714929&webtoon-platform-redirect=true
>>150360290you're joking right?>>150360709huh? I don't get it . she forgot about the screwdriver?haven't read your comic but. well, I can tell you are into robust ladies.
>>150360926Yeah, I haven’t established it yet, but the character who forgot about the screwdriver is very forgetful, she’s also an amnesiac. I figured it could be an opportunity for comedy/conflict whenever she forgets something in a tense situation or something like dat. Robust is the Ro-Best!
And I finished up. Going to do some character design stuff and then work on a rough draft. Really try and mold the characters around thumbnails and change any panels that need to be changed. Buying proper paper for the actual pencils and ink
>>150360926I wish I was joking
>>150361290but Betz died in the great webcomic war centuries ago
>>150361379I keep in touch with him from time to time and he's literally spent the last year since he left plotting to get revenge on everyone who didn't like him and Bones was the first hit. Not even working on his comic.

>>150361036What character designs are you going for anon?
>>150362838You might need a beak job
>>150363325No thanks, I'm here to fuck his crossdressing best friend in his bunhole.
>>1503633114. Let’s rank from least worried to most3. Bull/Minotaur guy. I have a basic idea. Nothing to difficult. Shirtless with some pants, maybe just need to think of size difference.2. Main villain. I want her to be stunning. Good looking. But during the process I gave her snake esque eyes and debating whether to keep them. I have a basic idea of an outfit. But still need to work that out1. Twins. Both will have same features but in a way opposed. The classic twin thing. But I don’t really have a starting point. My mind just substituted those twins from Rwby here but they won’t look like that. And then I guess background characters but I’m not too worried. And I guess one of the main characters I’m debating giving them a vest or just keeping the suspenders. What to do what to do
>>150363911With twins at the very least getting the base design down for one person might be good, and just basically edit it down, it's what I did when I made one. Not sure how actionable this is for you tho just speaking in my experience
Dog panel
>>150363967Sounds like a good plan. I at least have it so that the bangs point in opposite direction lmao. Not the best in woman’s fashion either so I feel like it will be brutal.
>>150354826Thanks. Dumb animal comics are my bread and butter, probably my true artistic calling in life. Unfortunately my passion lies in drawing manga and waifus, something I'm barely mediocre at.
>>150361941She would be flattered! She also has quite the understated romantic side.
>>150364633Look a bit like a cat
>>150360709Dolly is a determined yet inexperienced person. Not exactly friendly, She dreams of winning the Equinox Rally and doing so on her own. In an effort to prove to her family as well as the world at large, that lofty dreams aren’t a fools errand. Time will tell if this belief is justified.
>>150353630Are books not stories?
>>150363325I'm on my way
>>150363419I think I got the wrong guy
>>150351342Cool page layout
I was looking through some old sketchbooks. here's a comic from that. it's really bad. but it struck me as sort of 4channy.
>>150351281>What is your favorite comment you've gotten on your webcomic?"Is a love letter from Chile to Italy".
>>150370981
Bump
>>150360040Just finished the rough sketch and dialog for page 13 of my spicy mud comic! I will start doing the line art after I get something to eat. I should have this page done some time in the morning.

>>150366515Sex
>>150365564I like your designs anon even otuside of my own horny. They have a lot of character, what's your webcomic friendo.
>>150353690>The problem is people think the art causes the insanity, when it's the other way around.Does anyone actually think that? It isn't something I've ever heard before
>>150373082I miss /hyw/'s horny age. Some gold /aco/ threads
>>150374311I think there’s definitely people out there who may have initially drawn for fun and then were overtaken by their own drive or their competitive side or something and became obsessive over art which evolved into an insanity eventually. Many such cases
>>150374377I tried to horny post but keep getting banned every time :(
>>150374165Ty brah, I’ve been trying to hone/improve my design abilities. I’m glad it’s showing off! Here ya go https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/montana-sunset-the-hobo-samurai-/list?title_no=714929
>>150359998Every character in your comic should have big tits, and if you think you already gave them big tits go back and do it again but make them bigger.
>>150375072This
>>150374377Most of the /hyw/ old guard is gone anyway. The catfight contests were fun.>>150375072>>150375942Third'd.
>>150376686>Most of the /hyw/ old guard is gone anyway.Such is the case for most 4chan projects. I think jumpchain is the few odd men out.
>>150373529>Page 134I admire your dedication jesus fuck.
>>150376785>Most of the /hyw/ old guard is gone anyway.who is the old guard anyway? it's funny. I remember Merrivius was always being insulted here by the /hyw/ trolls every time he posted, now he's getting 5 million views. jokes on those losers.
Finished the first chapter of my comic "Wealth for Toil"https://imgur.com/a/wealth-toil-work-progress-first-chapter-9ucpQ1JTell me what you think, and any critiques at all, cause its still a work in progress, and Im gonna go back to fix up some pages, and other issues, once I've finished the first arc, which will probably be another 60ish pages.Currently taking a break to do some study to improve my art, and work on a short story which I'll probably post here too.
>>150376977He still posts here but it is much less common. Also Still not a big fan of the elf myself but game recognizes game.
>>1503769931 joke andy
>>150376977I'm talking about way before Merrivius. More in the range of the regulars who where here 8-12 years ago. Hell, even the people who were here even 5 or 6 years ago.Though, like half of the list got trolled and ended up leaving anyway, because 1.) The trolls being here to begin with, and 2.) people actually allowing the trolls get to them.Although, some of the people who left the threads proper might still be in the discord, but I don't know because I don't bother with the discord(s).
>>150373256just finished the line art, it just needs color and stuff and its done.
>>150377199Is that Vegeta
>>150377329No that's Quetzalcoatl in his human form, he was the king of the mexican aztec gods, but his older brother Tezcatlipoca corrupted and poisoned him into doing shameful and embarrassing things so he exiled himself by setting himself on fire and becoming the north star of the morning, from that point on in aztec mythology Tezcatlipoca became the king of the mexican gods. Though Tezcatlipoca likes to shapeshift into a jaguar, he is Quetzalcoatl's older brother so his true form is also a giant feathered serpent dragon.
I'm putting FEMALE GAZE bait in my comic and I don't CARE
>>150377537Can you explain, particularly with examples of what you are talking about
>>150377199just finished the page art and colors for page 13 of my spicy mud comic, might add some more glowing parts and clouds though. But as soon as i do the word balloons its done!
>>150377574Giant erect penises
Mangaka tend to have a little avatar. What would your avatar look like.
update https://seluda.com/>favorite commentcheap answer but i love (almost) every comment, haha. paragraph long ones especially>>150378115i just draw a stick figure
>>150378259Well what does that stick figure look like?
>>150378049That's for the gays dumbass
>>150378115Mine is just like, Principal Brown meets Cousin It meets A Mario Enemy. With a smidgen of scrappy and scooby doo
>>150378568Forgot pic lol, just woke up
>>150377043The discord is just a bunch of faggots with like 3 people who actually post their comic
>>150378115Either like a chibi or like this.
>>150376977>I remember Merrivius was always being insulted here by the /hyw/ trolls every time he postedWhat? Everyone loved Arlokk, why lie like that?
>>150377391Won't lie, that just looks like a badly drawn Vegeta>>150377537Based
>>150378009>>150360040Just finished page 13: https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/spicy-mud/tezcatlipoca/viewer?title_no=1087902&episode_no=9&serviceZone=GLOBAL*Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl argue about politics and philosophies but I don't think these two will ever see eye to eye on things. But the important thing is Jello and Alejandro finally make it home, and yes it's ok for Mexican luchador's to not wear their mask in the privacy of their own home. Greenbean has never lost a mask match so he must always wear his mask in public until he loses a match!
>>150378568>>150378581Crazy part. I can see all of what you described. Very cool avatar>>150378920What does the chibi look like?
>>150379548
>>150379789Cute! 3 tailed fox it seems
>>150379036People shitted on both Merrivius and Swords anon.
>>150378115I made a little coyote.
>>150380799What kinda schemes are being hatched as we speak
>>150378259Blondie a cute.
>>150381196None so far. It's a faerie and canonically part of a theatre troupe that shares stories. Little lore stuff from my author avatar because I got bored one day.
>>150378371kinda like in pic (from a short memoir i did)
>>150381430blondie's name is karen! she's a fun character
>>150383220Dat stick figure do be horny
>>150380292Swords never posted here. It was just some troll reposting episodes with the same caption every time.
>>150378115im not a mangaka im a cartoonist, but if i was an avatar having mangaka i guess it would be this dead gluzzy wizard from my gluzzy master comic, i use him for all my social media pfp's and discrod pfp.
>>150383220It’s kind of like My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness or Maus where the character in your story basically becomes the default avatar by which others and you see yourself.
