/co/ - Comics & Cartoons


Thread archived.

[Advertise on 4chan]


Alright /co/ pick up that pencil and start writing and drawing. You are going to stop being a damsel in distress and take control of your /co/mics and cartoons.

>"/tg/ gets shit done" is a famous in-joke and community motto on 4chan's Traditional Games board (/tg/). While other boards debate and abandon projects, /tg/ frequently proves its collaborative power by successfully crowdsourcing, writing, and illustrating entire tabletop RPG rulesets, expansive wikis, and massive homebrew campaign settings.
>>
>"/tg/ gets shit done"
Anyone going to argument this? nah? ok.
>>
/co/ has a million open ended projects they'll never fucking finish. Only reason to ever "collab" on /co/ is if you want to create a one/off piece for the "ongoing" project and not invest yourself anymore.
Oh thanks for reminding me of that one webcomic totally based on an old /co/ project about Milfs.

>that one webcomic totally based on an old /co/ project about Milfs.
I remember an old /co/ project named Super Milfs or something. I liked the premise but /co/ users can't stop thinking with their dicks for five minutes so the final designs and the plots were shit. Even fucking /v/ can design sexy girls without drawing them walking around in thongs and pasties barely covering their nipples.
>>
/co/ has literally too many Ideas Guy and too few artists willing to carry a project on their back, eventually it reaches a burn-out state and it's over

>I remember an old /co/ project named Super Milfs or something
two of the main artists of that thing picked up on the idea and did their own comics with their own characters, they aren't particularly great but...
>>
>>154634472
>too many Ideas Guy
The isn't the real problem. The problem is that most ideas are shit and what makes this worse is that artists draw the worst ideas
>>
>>154634132
>/co/ users can't stop thinking with their dicks for five minutes
Fucking this.

Golden Girl. Thong Squad. I like you faggots, but the ideas this board comes up with will never go anywhere because of this.

1) The purpose of this place is to chill and shoot the shit, not to be fucking productive. If you're treating a forum as a second job, you're doing it wrong.

2) /co/ is a creature of whim; it gets shit done when the mood strikes and when it's having fun with it, not for the sake of keeping busy. If you post something you think would be a neat idea, and a couple dozen anons also think it's a neat idea and not fucking retarded, they'll contribute and shit will get done.

Yep.

That and a lot of these idea guys end up hard fucking obsessed with their ideas and try to force everything to follow their version of things ignoring what actual artists and writers on the threads are doing and want to do. It's some real fag shit.
>>
>>154633863
why the fuck would we want to be like those miserable fucks on /tg/? editing wikis six hours a day and cross-referencing ttrpg matrices, sounds like hell.

/co/ can't get a good idea off the ground because Idea Guys are just using those moments to jerk off to free art before getting winded and tiring out
Golden Girl is about the only comic anyone is willing to spend time on anymore but she only gets anthology comics every 4 years and the /aco/ thread is mostly doodles, comms and some guy posting bad 3D models
>>
>>154633948
>/co/ has a million open ended projects they'll never fucking finish.
that's because this is a shitposting forum.
>>
>>154633863
/co/'s board culture is too fractured for a collaborative project. The closest you're getting is auteurs solo/small team projects like Tamers12345.
>>
>>154635394
Stella and the Metal Men *somewhat* avoided this by having all the supporting cast be men, but then the threads slowly devolved into cooming over the only two adult women in the entire cast lol.
>>
>>154633863
I witnessed many project pitches in the last four years alone, and 99% are abandoned because the people who pitched and were working on these projects lost the momentum they had and, with that, killed these projects.
It seems that the other Anons here are confirming what I said and gave even more examples, proving my point.
so here's my genuine advice: You want to start a project, whether it's a webcomic or another medium. Start small, preferably solo. Doodle your ideas, write greentexts... start somewhere, and don't just wait for other people to hop on and help you, because you need to prove yourself first.
Don't you know how to draw? Start learning how to draw a line and circle, there's a whole board about anons sharing tips and learning how to draw >>>/ic/ the results differ from one person to another
Just start somewhere and be realistic with yourself, and hopefully, if your ideas are worthy of people's attention, you will have at least a small following.
Good Luck to you all

Right now I'm kinda studying for a really hard test I don't even know if I will be able to do because my college is fucking me over and I need to go there check what the fuck is happening.

I did a few comics inspired by /co/ last year, it was pretty fun, I really want to go back to it and make a proper 30 to 40 page chapter comic instead of one shots like I was doing before, I just don't have the fucking time, man.

Kinda of a lie because I did spend like 3 hours drawing today. Maybe I should stop being a faggot and just do it anyway.
>>
>>154635904
It's more like /co/ is /aco/ light isn't it? Why do the /co/ goons not just post on /aco/ ? It's not like they have jobs so it has to be SFW

If I may play Devil's Advocate for /co/ while ignoring how 99% of them can't draw and can't write worth a shit and the remaining 0.9% have "ideas" that would make me send them directly to Disney pretending to be Looney Tunes and Commiefornia for the autistic horny teenagers who think they're smart and edgy ...

This document here is literally the /co/ version of /tg/ and what /tg/ really gets "done". /tg/ is all theory and /co/ and /v/ could easily replicate it if they got a vocabulary and a calculator. Otherwise put /tg/ to write a book, draw a comic book and program a video game and they falter immediately.

Typical. You're not anonymous here, dumbass.

>>154635875

Which shows just how productive the OTHER people were and how dependant people were on the OP to do all the work for them.
>and don't just wait for other people to hop on and help you
>if your ideas are worthy of people's attention you will at least gain a small following
>you need to prove yourself first

/co/ anons can't even click a few buttons. This anon here proved it and got rightfully turned off from the project.

Albeit he did only make 3 threads and it was for Bambi which nobody gives a fuck about, but that isn't to say if you attempted a redubbing project then you wouldn't get ignored and called a spammer by the popularity-obsessed zoomers if you posted more than once.
If it isn't Hazbin Shit, Digital Circus Autism, Homestuck or some other popular IP among the gen-Zers/alpha then you're shit out of luck
And again that isn't to say they'll actually help you oh hell no. They'll just watch and clap, they most hands they'll ever lend is to act as your cheerleader squad by clapping rather than picking up the damn pen and helping you.

I was on /biz/ 6 years ago and we had this crypto token where you had to login for 1 hour once a weekend to solve a captcha at a specific hour.
Every anon told other anons to not send their one time invites to anons cause 90% of the time they could not commit even to that - they lost their accounts, they couldn't login on time, etc. you cannot depend on anonymous for anything cause anonymous has no responsibility and self discipline.
/tg/ also whenever it hosted /v/ multiplayer games had to DM and drag the /v/irgins out of their burrow to play cause they were waiting on others.

>>154636267
And they can't even do that. They can't even make a lousy document.
>>
NTA but from what I gathered here.
There is no chance a /co/ project would work let alone succeed.
>>
Finally someone gets it. So tired of all the shitty story time threads.This board has been super dead ever since the hack last year, we need to breath some new life in it.
>>
>>154633863
>a production board like /tg/
/tg/ has been a shell of itself for like 10 years and hasn't really made shit, as a community, in nearly 15.
>>
>>154636267
>Otherwise put /tg/ to write a book, draw a comic book and program a video game and they falter immediately.
Didn't /tg/ just recently made a whole TTRPG setting based on 19th century exploration tropes and Jules Verne?
>>
>>154638672
The fuck are you talking about? /tg/ has been recycling the same dozen spam threads for the last several years.

Seems like you are a retard faggot that doesn't know shit about /tg/ projects

>>>/tg/98321638

>The Deep Place Edition

>What is this?
/TG/ DEVELOPED A GAME
IT IS PLAYABLE. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.
EXPEDITION is a ~1880s era, Jules Verne-inspired retro-futurist, underground blood soaked adventurescape.
It is a Skirmish wargame. Two players with their own expeditions, on a hexgrid map, explore & fight each other for victory and profit.

3 versions of the rules exist, 2 of which have been playtested. The main one is 2e, to be found :
>https://www.mediafire.com/folder/us7vnek39dc6k/AgarthaRules
as with maps, tokens and lore resources.

There you go, skirmish wargame made by /tg/ with it's own lore and worldbuilding.
>>
>>154633863
There:
>>154638028
But /co/ in general doesn't do anything but observe you.

>>154638787
Oh, you're making the classic mistake of believing that one dedicated autist represents all of /tg/

Hey... .. what do we think of this? does this count as getting_shit_done? Albeit one of them hasn't been /co/ for more than a few days and they got banished to /i/ for years.

One project that interested me before was Stargaze. Well more the core idea than the final result:

Many anons here grew up with cartoons and comics made to sell toys and merchandise. How about we make our own toy-selling franchise?
>>
Tbh before we can do anything we need stronger moderation crackdown on shit posting like story times and eceleb threads. This shit sucks out all the activity out more productive threads
>>
>>154639138
>story times
What you got against storytimes, gen-Z?
>>
>>154638787
Ok now animate it or program it. Yep, there's your answer.
Tabletop games self filter themselves by basically letting their players understand that they don't belong at the table if they can't storytell, can't world design, can't do anything of the sort.
However there are plenty dumb brained diceroll spamming autists that play in silence which defeats the whole purpose and you might as well just play Snakes & Ladders at that point.

And indeed that looks like 1% of /tg/ just like 15.AI was a project done by 1 guy on /mlp/ and there was another guy who used Flash assets as a form of colored storyboarding complete with soundtrack and 15.AI's dialogue, but the problem was? nobody followed in their footsteps. The moment the 1% was gone the other 99% fell and bitched like losers how much they "contributed" by giving the guy a link to HD torrents which they didn't make.

>>154636267
Grab this document here and provide extra documentation for how a show should be written and there's your /co/ gets shit done. And get ready to laugh when somebody points Mr and Mrs /co/ as "getting shit done".
>>
>>154638919
>Moving goalposts

>>154639977
>/co/ is only animation and programs(?)
>Moving goalposts too

There's a whole thread of people adding to the game, 3 different rules editions and tons of documentation and worldbuilding. They did shit. Get the fuck over yourselves if you don't want to do anything, don't call out /tg/ for doing nothing when they actually are doing stuff.

That's just some idiot who can't take the hint that his idea sucks and nobody wants to contribute to his extremely specific personal fetish project. Not every idea is worth the effort especially if the "creator" shows up out of the blue acting like he's entitled to attention and free work for a half baked boring idea.

>>154640795

>>154640901
That must have hit a nerve. I'm sorry people don't like your Bambi redubbing idea. It's just not interesting. No amount of appealing to the spirit of collaboration or finger pointing will fix that.
>>
>>154638199
We have fantasies here about what /co/ should be if only other people did what I want instead of what they are doing
>>
>>154641115
No you imbecile I'm not him.
You really are this fucking retarded and obsessed with stalking and destroying /co/? Go back to the Sharty basedjak party. I caught you redhanded. You type like an ESL.
> It's just not interesting.
You can't even connect 3 sentences together.
>>
>>154633863
I agree with the rest of the anons that /tg/ has it easier because they're literally advanced ideafag and pretend The Game. They don't have to make an audio visual film with good voice acting, timing, smooth animation. They don't have to make an actual playable video game with real software that works on real hardware. They can just pretend. Hell often times they don't even have to write a full story for the GM to follow, instead they simply have to write a guideline for a creative GM to inspire from.
>>
>>154641755

>>154641440
I think the sad part is when /co/ and /v/ are so illiterate that they can't even create a pitch bible for themselves to share said ideas because most of them are more illiterate than /lit/.
>>
>>154633863
Imagine caring about CANON lmao. That's why /co/ will always be cucks.
They "have" to adhere to the canon. Meanwhile in /tg/ there is no canon.
>>
>>154636139
Gooner artists promote themselves on 4chan all the time, /co/ is no exception. /aco/ just thinks it widens their fanbase if they promote themselves on an sfw board (since most of /aco/ users visit /co/ as well).
>>
>>154638199
Only /pol/ gets things done, but they're technically united in hate and not gooning all the time.
>>
>>154636139
