How hard is it to make a webcomic?
Not very, the hardest part is being able to draw decently or in a style people like QUICKLY, do it regularly and consistently, be good at writing (if it's a long form comic) or be good at one off jokes (or at least quick to steal and change it a bit) consistently.Would argue the hardest part is drawing well/nice style + quickness, followed by regularity and then good writing. Even the best comics have misses, even the worst comics have hits.
>>155398149Is very simple but is rather hard to find an audience
It's very hard. You spend so much time making it just to have no one interact with you or enjoy it. Any fans you do get, they just grooming you to love them and then they ask for free drawings because you're """"friends""""". And it destroys your soul when they cancel you or talk shit about you for saying no
To succeed:1. Reliability. On X day at Y o'clock, there will be a chuckleworthy joke involving the current fad.2. Accesibility. Legible art and writing. Every gag strip will be someone's first. 3. Spreadability. Visual memes, funny quips, cool or sexy things. You know you made it when you became a reaction image.And it's a ginormous waste of time.
>>155398149Piss easy. Hell, with AI it's retard levels. Can you actually write jokes? Keep up with output? Market? Drawing is a skill yes but this is like trying to make a movie when all you know how to do is film.
>>155398149If you have a good sense of humor like stonetoss it's a good start
>>155398149it's not hard to MAKE one, but it is hard to be successful and find an audience even if you're consistently batting home runs. people like what other people like. without fans, it's hard to get fans.
>>155398204I have an idea for a comic. I have thinking about it relentlessly for a few mouths now whilst waging. I have 'planned' the first few chapters in detail and the general outline for the story in my head. I recognise that ideas alone do not make a comic. I have fairly limited experience drawing and mostly with hand drawn sketches nothing digital. How would suggest practice my drawing? Is there any software worth looking into? Is it worth asking AI for tips improving my writing? I don't have anyone else for feedback. Forgive the questions, would really like to create something before I rope. Forgive my writing in this post as well, I am slightly drunk.
>>155398392>AislopHellllllllll naw. Instant failure
>>155398546Ok saar.
>>155398392So, what are the most successful AI-drawn webcomics?
>>155398149I am sexually attracted to 'toss characters, I want Gay 'toss to top the MAGA 'toss and then I want both of them to fuck me in the ass.
>>155398427Go fuck yourself for being a drunkard like 90% of this generation. Bunch of hicks and urbanites that you are.And to answer the question about using AI in writing the answer is no. The AI at best comes up with better prose if your prose is already dogshit ... and idea wise the AI is supposed to be your Watson to your Sherlock Holmes ... if the AI starts giving you ideas better than you which you don't reintrepret into something good then congrats you're dumber than wikipedia and 12-15 year old fanfiction teenagers.
>>155398149I don't know, engagement baiter. How is your mother?
>>155398812That hurt anon. I am sorry to have disappointed you. I my defence, 'slightly' drunk. I was not intending to use AI for ideas, I can have those myself. Just to improve my prose which isn't stellar by my own admission. Since you seem the passionate sort, do you have any suggestions for improving my drawing skills?
>>155398899She is alright. Why do you ask?
If you can competently draw sexy girls it will be at least 50% easier. Then on top of that, figure out how to be coquettish with them and not outright pornographic nor pandering. There is a reason Huge Titty Girl #942 never catches on while Litterbox comics is so popular it's getting a cartoon.
Why are they cute sometimes
amoung where
>>155398392Almost got me
>>155398391>joke involving the current fadOhh I hope not.
>>155399442They should kiss.
>>155398149I don't really know if I can help, but you're free to ask me any questions.
>>155398149easynow keeping it up? that's hard.
>>155400648Eyyy it's the Swain. You're cool. Glad you're still around.
it can't be THAT hard I'm sure anyone can do it
>>155400648Any plans to continue that neato Shaggy x Daphne series?
>>155401235Yes.
>>155398149>geode hurl
>>155400362
>>155401258Thanks.
>>155401633I forgive you
>>155398251Speaking from experience?
If you don't already have an audience or have connections don't bother. No one will read it, people aren't just gonna randomly discover your work and it'll go viral.
>>155402323nobody wants viralwe want a loyal fandom of normal people who do not use social media, who will buy t-shirts and draw fanart
>>155402374You won't get that either.
>>155399442>>155400362>>155401633can love really be born from stone?
>>155402392I'm aware of that.
>>155399442The art style can be really cute, don't care if he's a chud. If anything it makes the yaoi even better.
>>155402555I'm like 80% sure he's false flagging but it's hard to tell
>If anything it makes the yaoi even better.It does add to the experience of drawing stonetoss gay fanart I suppose
>>155402576 rockchuck is almost certainly true believer.
>>155402663how the fuck would you know
>>155402576He is a groyper so his policies and interests seem contradictory
>>155401633>>155402434aw
>>155402555lmao
>>155401633>>155402434
>>155398422Stonetoss has corny newspaper comic humor at best, without the far right politics nobody would care about his comics except for one or two of them maybe.
>>155402897he's probably the greatest (or at least most famous) right wing political cartoonist in modern times, which is either depressing or amusing.
>>155402673>>155402705Stone toss joined a nazi pool party: https://ghostarchive.org/archive/PJgcs
>>155398149It's not hard, you just have to have ideas. Even being about to draw is not super important. Now, being successful is completely different and basically impossible.
>>155401633>>155402860I will not forgive you. Reflect upon the severity of your crimes, scumbag
>>155402673Until he did the NFT thing (and NFTs didn't exist until years after he started) he wasn't really making any money off this, and he's been very consistent about his views. both as stonetoss and redpanels. So we can safely assume he's not doing it to grift, but rather he makes the comics because he wants to push or express his views.
>>155403052hey why did mine get off scot free?
>>155398149as hard as you feel like making it. it doesn't need to be good, you don't need to update regularly, you don't need to shamelessly attempt to monetize it. you can do whatever you want in life. you can create something for the pleasure of creating it
>>155399432cool
>>155403081Right, nobody has EVER made money purposely making "their" side look bad.
>>155398546Ai will replace fleshbags
His comic seems to imply that Kirk jokes preceded suicide jokes as if the later is a justified reaction to the former. Or as if there hadn't been half a decade of George Floyd jokes.
>>155402981Nazis like to hide behind scapegoats. It tracks.
>>155401633LOVE WINS
what tools would one need for digital art
>>155403868ms paint and mouse if you have the power
>>155403927Is there a Mr. Paint?
>>155400648I just want you to know that I love your art. You have impeccable taste in shipping and I really like your Helluva verse comic your doing. Especially I liked your Grearl stuff you drawn.
>>155404093he is me
>>155398149Not too hard. I could pull it off, but I'd rather work on a big project.
>>155399207Trace and draw from reference till you learn how to draw a perfect circle by eye without a compass. Contrary to popular belief tracing is the way to go as long as your hands actually memorize what the hell they're tracing, if you don't then that's where tracing is useless.
>>155398149The real question is, if you're making a webcomic about characters/story that you'd like to make into an animated series one day, what's the precedent? Will you turn studios off from the get-go simply because you've made the premise and characters public? How much is 'too much' to reveal?
>>155402254>>155402434>>155402741>>155403052
Leftist bootlickers fear the stonetoss
>>155398422Stonetoss is not really funny, mostly he steals memes from /pol/, but he does have some bangers
>>155402576He's too sincere for that
It's a little ironic how he does the nu-righty thing to deny any support or association with trump yet always portrays the guy with the trump hat as correct They'll never truly be free of this embarrassment
>>155398149Not hard. All it comes down is if you can draw. Other than>How fast can you draw it>How often you update>Hows the quality>How many actuallly see it
>>155398149You need to be able to make a script, as a minimum.There are already webcomics going based on scripts where all the images are obviously LLM generated with the occasional 6-fingered scantily clad female. And that is fine as long as the script is captivating.
>>155403734Even pro AI people don't want to read AI comics. Sure they might generate something to straw man their enemies but no one actually wants to spend time reading one made for actual story telling purposes. Besides if you are using AI why not go all the way and generate an animation instead? It's more money and more eyeballs. The only reason to make a webcomic is because you actually like comics and if you like comics as a medium that much you probably like them enough not to use AI, that's why even in though the AI in theory should have wiped the industry out it didn't.
It’s not hard the real hard part is getting an audience and trying not to troon out
>>155403678>look bad.How? Only leftoids seem to rage at them.
