What happened?Also, to the guy who replied to me last thread, there is nothing wrong with helping others with semen retention.
>>155565817Main character headshots for a comedy webcomic, about humans and phantoms living side by side, formerly known as "Dakota's Ghoulfriend." It's the same universe, but with 8 different charactersIt's called "Bourbon On The Rocks."

>>155565817One year ago things went a bit wild and I ended up adopting two kids.They're finally in school and I looked at my art folder.I realized I hadn't touched anything since they moved in.Getting back into the rhythm now.Trying to do a little each day.Working hard to finish pages rather than toil over them for weeks on end.Feels good.
you and I hate these threads and I hate Jesus Christ.
Bump
>>155565817It's sad all the drawfags left. =(
>>155569236WHOSE FAULT IS THAT?
>>155565817finally started making progress on the main comicthe black and white mini issues can be read here: https://globalcomix.com/c/beasties-

>>155569776
>>155569773Kinda cute character designs. The resolution is a bit small for the screenshots for some pages, blurring out the dialogue on parts.
>>155569236its worse to see them turn to AI slopping
>>155570226full res was too big for 4chan sorry
>>155565817>>Thread Question and Prompt>What's been your experience at comic/art conventions?They're too expensive, too far away and I'm always working so I could never.>>Thread Challenge>Work on your damn comic.I've got 4 pages left until the chapter is complete. I'm also chugging away at compiling a print edition of the comic.
>>155569338nice style but what is that pose on the right, would be neat to practice some anatomy
>>155565817>>Thread Challenge>Work on your damn comic.Here's Aztec goddess deity Coyolxāuhqui for a story I'm working on about Aztecs vs Conquistadors>Thread Question and PromptWhat's been your experience at comic/art conventions?For the past 5 years I feel like they've been slowly dying and also are oversaturated. Artist alley meta is now stickers and small prints of popular fotm fandoms. Over the years I sell less and less books but more prints and commissions. Cost of cons keeps going up and it's rarely worth it. I'm only going back to LA Comic Con this year because I got in as a guest and don't have to pay for the table. My cat comics and sloth books sell at every show, oi bardic fury books only sell at anime cons but are generally ignored at pop culture comic cons
So Tapas is set to shut down before the year's through. Who's this going to screw over? Where are you moving next?https://finance.biggo.com/news/628901c2-9536-4e6f-b601-0511b2547c7c
>>155570947My engagement there completely died in 2021
>>155570947I use my own site, but that news still hits the community all-around.
>>155565817>What's been your experience at comic/art conventions?I have many professional comic artist destroying my comic. But that's when I ask them to.
A HYW thread? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within /CO/!?https://courier.the-comic.org/
>>155572265Some of the old guard still remains... Bless you...
>>155565964They look cute. >>155567701I hope you reconsider your hate for Jesus one day.
>>155572321*somebody* has to work on their comic- it's the whole reason Bloatlord looks over us!!
>>155572350Don't you have semen to be retenting? Can't you go do that somewhere else?
>>155565817Visited a bunch, people filter anything that looks like advertisement. There's the local indie comic market but you have to be part of the secret club to get anything worthwhile out of it. I once tried to hang out with furries at some café. Zero interest in drawing from the furries, but the café staff gave comments. I try to be surprised.>>155570947That's mildly concerning. I stand to lose the Tapas reading order of the comic and some odd remarks I may have written. Comicfury's daily strip won't catch up until 2028 so I have to think of something until then.Tapas https://tapas.io/episode/3989724Comicfury https://bunnyseries.the-comic.org/
Starting a Mechanica comic sequence. I’ll use AI to composit scenes and clone my drawings for efficiency, then finalize with my own page work.
>>155570947Not only do I stand to lose all my Coldfusion comments, getting rid of Tapas means he'll be searching for new hunting grounds...
>>155570947moved to The Duck and insta a while ago and honestly I had better luck with those.
>>155573279He wish he died during covid lockdowns. The guy is a cockroach.
>>155565817>What's been your experience at comic/art conventions?I actually visited my first actual comic festival last Saturday, it was small but pretty nice (also free). I have visited few anime conventions and many /tg/related conventions in the past this one was my first comics only convention. >Work on your damn comic.I sketched a new page (still have to edit old ones, working on it).>>155570803Cute design and interesting subject matter. Very 2000's (in a good way).>>155572265I might have already said it on the last thread (but these go so fast I don't even remember) but your style is really nice.
>>155570947there's been threads about it:>>155571398>>155570591
>>155573899>I might have already said it on the last thread (but these go so fast I don't even remember) but your style is really nice.Thanks! I remember that thread disappearing in the blink of an eye... shame, I like seeing what people around here are working on!
>>155569236I’m still here. If there’s an idea for a webcomic that /co/ can get behind I’m down for it.
>>155565817Just found out that Tapas is apparently shutting down? Where the fuck do I publish my comic now? Webtoon is all AI slop now
>>155573209You’re ass
>>155573209>Using AI
>>155576245>>155576908>can't handle Guy's massive genius
>>155576208Comicfury isn't that popular but has a lot of good features for comic creators
>>155576981If you know a little about coding, you can do some cool stuff with your comicfury site.

>>155565817>>Thread Challenge>Work on your damn comic.Go, my emotional support vultures
>>155576908Last time I made a Mechanica comic all I got was harassment for making the main characters engineers instead of Mecha pilots. I won’t miss making comics before AI, I have no good memories aside from early days of the 2012 Webcomic boom.
>>155579772Are webcomics really the right medium for you if you don't enjoy making them?
Chickadee's 3.4 coming soon
>>155570803You just reminded me that I need to read Codex Black, and I actually I should have enough money to order the conquistador style arquebus ive been wanting.Yay!
>>155570947well i host everything on my website under the drawings page duhhhhhttps://fguh.nya.je:8000/>>155565817>What's been your experience at comic/art conventions?i've been to a cosplay con once if that counts. I was tresspassed doe due to me "verbally assaulting"(calling some troons trannies and calling random cosplayers faggots) and or grabbing random cosplay props off people to run off with and then throw in the trash. Soooooooooo pretty bad i guess, they allow no fun geg.>>155580618when do the spanish come and civilize them?>>155573209it's like describing a bibisea to someone who has never seen a bibisi and asking them to draw it
>>155580673>when do the spanish come and civilize them?I dunno i haven't read it yetIm going on a date with a Latina I met at in 'n out tomorrow so im doing my part at least.

>>155580788speaking of such wip page
>>155580714do you have a girlfriend anon?
>>155580812i am now curious to all hywgoys. How political is YOUR webcomic? mine will espouse and preach isareli nationalism and pro zionist talking points because jews vvoned>>155580818i'm a volcel tradcath black male who's based and christpilled so uh no, doe i did date a random afgan foid online for 4 years so meh.unrel random shading slop
>>155580832no but to be srs my comic will mostly just satirize muttmerican politics a lot via ten layers of irony(if you've read how to bomb the us gov by million dollar extreme or harrassment archt by mike ma then you know what to expect). The critic itself will mostly be through the lens of the ideals of my fren and goat pnw fredista(no i am not him and we are not related kindly do not harrass him with time wasting questions please)https://nw-underground.org/a-critical-analysis-of-americanism/
the first page i shall post on hyw. ok how do you write a compelling webcomic story? thinking about making this a funny kinda post cyberpunkish setting doe without any of the cool cyberpunkish techonology,
Some nice pages in this thread. How productive are you guys? Like how often do you make comics?
Inks for my newest page. It's still drying.
>>155581887AND here's my latest low effort lazy comic, Stock Image Anime Girl, guest starring Coffee Cat.
>>155581942oh yeah, here's my newest OC, he's a psycho. I needed another villain.
>>155580832>>155580901Are you a sharty user? Or is it just osmosis from TikTok and Discord?
The analytics I put on my comicfury site says I have a visitor from Russia. I don't know whether I legitimately have a Russian fan or a bot. Do you people get russian fans too?Both goatcounter and google analytics says I have this russian person visiting. Google Analytics reports chinese visitors too, but goat counter is only counting the russian and usa visitors.
How do I get ideas?
>>155582211Brainstorm silly.
