And of course, I'll start:

>What type of project are you working on?
A series of music videos for my OCs in "The Legend of Akio." It's supposed to tell the story of a samurai on his journey towards enlightenment as he travels through the paranormally infested jungles of Japexico (yes we do a little shitposting)
Currently bouncing between making smaller animation memes for practice and building more serious stuff while I farm gains.

>What inspired you to create this?
I love music videos like you wouldn't believe (stuff like Chemical Brothers, The Avalanches, etc always inspired me growing up.) I figured I might as well stop beating around the bush and lock in.

>How far are you into your project?
Just a few videos in, currently in the character trailers phase so I got a looong road ahead of me. But it's cool I'm having lots of fun making these.

>Any previous projects?
Yea!
This one was for a server event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ePLy7Ddcp4&ab_channel=BriBri
And this one was a character trailer I made for one of my ghosts to get into the groove of things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nc-3mbN2zA&ab_channel=BriBri

>Any social media?

>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?
Yes, please! Any tips or feedback is great, help me make cooler stuff in the future!

Really cool thread idea anon, unfortunately I don't have any projects of my own but wishing you all the best on yours.

Mexico and Japan is such an interesting mix, I wonder if you'll mix up Yokai and things like the Chupacabra etc Would love to see those ideas.

>>7208201

>What type of project are you working on?
I lost count, because I keep thinking of new ones, but a personal project I've gotten the furthest in and dedicated myself to this time is an artbook/zine I'm working on.

>What inspired you to create this?
I wanted to just sell all the art and stuff I was making in one book. Also, a great way to build a portfolio of work. I also want it to be a stepping stone to a much bigger idea I have in mind, but we'll see how this goes.

>>How far are you into your project?
I got some stuff, took a bit a detour. I am not sure if I can include what I'm working now in it, but I guess I'm making 2 zines/art books now. I have the first one worked out, but not the 2nd one. I have freelance projects interspersed in between.

> Any previous projects?
I've done some stuff over the years, but I make a small artbook some years ago, but tbqh I need to make another one. Anything else I've done has been with other people.

>>Any social media?
Yes, but it's ok. I haven't even announced my intentions there, yet. I hate saying I'm going to work on something and it doesn't pan out even though that's been happening to me a LOT.

>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?

>Mexico and Japan is such an interesting mix, I wonder if you'll mix up Yokai and things like the Chupacabra etc Would love to see those ideas.
Thank you! I made Japexico the way it is because I couldn't decide which folklore to go with and decided it'd be fun to mix the aesthetics on top of it. Plus it opens up a ton of doors to make my own concoctions but I'll have to keep ironing those out for now.
I'm surprised you mentioned the Chupacabra because that's actually Dusty's main antagonist (the guy with the donkey ears in pic related)
As for the yokai, Akio's spirit guide (the rooster) is based on a Basan and can breathe fire, and one of the first spirits he has to confront is La Llorona (also in pic related)

Overall thanks for the interest! I'll be sure to keep posting updates as I keep building upon it.
Love the moai btw, I think it's based as fuck that you're always posting work and encouraging others to do the same. One of our strongest soldiers fr fr

hey I've seen your work around a lot on this board, glad you're throwing positivity and showing off a lot with your music video project. really cute stuff and I hope you keep the grind going, always fun to see more projects in the world.

questionnaire time
>project?
wanted to do animated shorts for a while but got burnt out hard, so I'm doing a webcomic instead. mainly for myself.
>inspo?
lobcorp, SCP, just monster stuff in general. I think it's also just me feeling a bit hollow with recent horror content too and wanting to make my own, along with some bad personal experiences that I want to express through some sort of means.
>how far?
been working on it since may of 2023 but have done things with the characters even earlier than that. had a massive haitus with comic work due to college though. currently trying to continue now, but I gotta animate for some people and unpack a house so it's still gonna be on the backburner for a while. hate how unproductive I've been with it.
>previous projects?
lots.
>social media
I would drop but I'm really obnoxious on social media so I'm not saying
>feedback/critique?
I don't think there's enough substantial work done to be critiqued since it's not close to done (pic related) but I don't mind anyways if there's any pointers here towards my art style. I've gotten a lot of mixed reception from people here on this board relating to my art so I'm not entirely sure where it stands.

thank you for the survey lite stuff as it always makes my brain's form filling urge feel good, and have a gn lurking anons

Some are driven by passion, others by existential anxiety and dread after having drawn hundreds of figure poses with simple or no background, porn or something other that doesn't feel meaningful or interesting or they're simply embarrassed or even disgusted by what they've ended up drawing for money or they simply feel like they can't take peide in their illustrations because what's the point of drawing anime girls in void when there are literally millions of other drawings made other artists so even if you reach the maximum level of skill it will only be appreciated by 15 second attention span ssri coombrain zoomers on twitter and dismissed as worthless by any reputable art critic, gallery, collector and the public as a whole.

But if you're good at drawing floatibg anime girls in void you do have the skills to make good art, right?
Well you don't because immediately once you start working on anything morw complicated like that, for example a comic you will feel crushed by the sudden realization that you basically have to start from zero because your writing sucks and you can only scribble the most boring, generic and uncreative plot slop imaginable and not only that but also your drawing skills are inadequate after drawing the same thing over and over again so you need to relearn composition for panels, pacing, aesthetic style, change your art style and sketching technique, narrative colour theory and worst of all, you must be creative instead of just doing what everyone else has already done.
And if you're used to drawing porn, you will constantly insert your fetishes into your visual story without even realizing it and since your follower base, even if you might not want to admit it, consists of people who give absolutely no fucks about art and are only looking to jerk off, will be alienated by your respectable, story-driven, clean project and you will realize that all those followers on your twitter were completely worthless, you prostituted your art

skimmed through the thread and honestly so full of sovl, your art really adds a lot to the story aspect and the interactivity with others influencing it is also really fun to see too. gay as hell but the good gay as hell. I hope your finger is doing better though after that accident, ouch.

>>7209297
thank you anon legit. your project sounds really fun and I hope the four of you are all having a blast with creating the music videos. you guys better have some great fuckery tactics of course, don't let willie down.
critique wise, I'm not a musician but the song did sound pretty rough on the ears, I know you said you didn't mix it that well but it's lesser on the mixing and more just on the base synth stuff being really repetitive and grating. I think the reverb-y/float-y vocals work well with the other softer synth I think I heard, but it's just that one constant beeping synth that is at the beginning that's killing me. I know older experimental synth does sound a bit rough and grating, but it doesn't feel intentional here. keep going at it of course though, only way to improve is to just keep on making music.


and also yeah I agree, most things with SCP are just mid as hell, but it was the most popular and widely understood thing I could really compare my inspirations to. I guess it's more of a rip off of the base concept more than anything just because I like the facility setting with monsters being there, but man a lot of stories told with it really aren't that good. I have some more drawings on concepts that might explain aspects of it better than I can with words (mainly environment things, pic rel), but at the same time I can only really comprehend them as "surrealish".

A lot of trial and error, making all kinds of things and seeing what gave me the most fulfillment while creating. I've done anything from submitting oil paintings to galleries to editing/drawing group animatics and even sculpting once upon a time. It eventually became apparent that the type of work that makes me the most excited to work is making music videos, at least for the moment!

>>7208296
Thanks, anon! I appreciate the kind words.
I love spooky stuff so I doubly look forward to seeing what you cook up. As for the art style, I may be biased since I like a lot of RPGmaker horror stuff but I think you can make it work so long as you play your cards right, it's your vision so I'm sure you probably have an idea of how it's going to look. Best of luck!

Thank you! The setting isn't for everybody but that's fine, the intention is to have a good time after all lol
I made the concept after deliberating on whether I should commit to writing about yokai or choosing between some of my favorite legends from down south. Though after learning some history (Did you know that once upon a time Mexico had samurai, cowboys, and pirates roaming around all at the same time? Me neither!) I thought, why not choose both? I'm not from Mexico nor am I going to pretend to know anything in-depth about Japan, but if I mix them I can create my own universe that plays with all the things while still having room to create my own entities.

>>What type of project are you working on?
I have a project but it's a bit weird and hard to explain. At this point I have no idea if I have a genuinely interesting and different idea or if it's just confusing for the sake of being confusing. I've been told I'm a very competent writer with an unique drawing style but it still doesn't HIT, you know? When is it hugboxing or coddling?

It's a dark comedy about a fictional fantasy country following a special force of governors and law enforcers, it's very political and all the characters are schemers with their own goals, but it's also very heartfelt and bizarre. I want something enjoyable and funny to read but not necessarily relatable. There isn't a main character though, it's all about the force. I loooove coming up with dialogue and scenarios in which the characters can be petty or violent. The grimdark scale is a meme but it's grimbright maybe?

>What inspired you to create this?
15+ years of profound stupidity with a co-writer

>How far are you into your project?
I'd say I'm about at the the midpoint. I need to literally just do something and start shilling, I can't stay in the planning stage forever. I've been glad to rework and tune it endlessly, this is a double edged sword though, it has allowed me to make many improvements but now I absolutely won't do anything until it's absolutely perfect and ready to go (never ever ever) and I don't plan to advertise in brazil for the time being

>Any previous projects?
None at all. I want to participate in something somewhere but I have no idea how to put myself out there.

>Any social media?
I hate being perceived but I've begrudgingly created some socials. I want people to notice me while at the same time not pointing arrows at myself. I have no idea why.

>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?

I want to make an RPG maker game so bad too, but I have no dev experience at all. I wrote down the specific mechanics I wanted for my game and narrowed down a pretty nice scope so I don't get decimated by scope creep but I feel like I only have the skills to make a comic. Shit I still want to do it some time in the future. But the solo dev life is seriously not for me I need a 1+ or a 2+ or I get big enough through art so that I can get some volunteers or ideally pay people to help me

>>7219693
Thanks anon. Really appreciate it.

RPGmaker is very intuitive for nocoders if you want turn based combat. Seriously I have absolutely zero programming knowledge and in a week I managed to get
>isometric mapping
>isometric movement
>dynamic shadows using 2d assets
>collisions and y sorting
>enemy sprite placement
done. I'm actually really proud of it because RPG maker is a top down game engine too.

In another week I managed to get a custom ui built.

Just give it a shot, its a lot of fun. I tried comics too but I'm much more suited for games. I have a very specific narrow scope though that is my guiding light which keeps me from getting feature crept.

Yes, but the enthusiasm is far, far more important than doing it "smart". Starting with a 500 page comic will at the very least get you 500 pages of experience. Would those pages been better used trying to tell multiple shorter stories? Probably, but not if you don't give a crap about any of those stories.
I personally started with my 100 volume epic manga idea and indeed only got around 400 pages in before running out of steam, and I consider that experience invaluable. Your first works will suck no matter what, so just do 'em, get them out of the way, learn for the actual good stuff. Don't worry about not using your best ideas now, cos you'll absolutely have better ideas later believe me.>>7208201

Sorry bro, it's never happening. I can tell you what I was planning on with it though. I'd spoiler tag this but it's /ic/ so if you don't wanna know then just don't read on I guess.
>quickdraw heads back into town to fetch a doctor while gums stays with the sheriff. sheriffs dies under gum's watch
>quickdraw and gums resume pursuit of the thief
>thief meets up with the leader of their posse the next town over, was going to make the leader a vaguely supernatural "walking disaster" type deal, mythic larger than life etc
>we learn that quickdraw was raised by lizardmen along the journey
>gums & quickdraw catch up, quickdraw is shot and the goons get away with gum's possessions
>gums does his best to treat quickdraws wounds over the next few days and we learn that gums stole a famous gemstone that turns out to be a precious relic of a tribe of lizardmen (not quickdraw's tribe) and fled to the frontier to escape the authorities, hoping to outrun the papers
>quickdraw succumbs to his wound, but not before gums learns his tribal name
that's what I had solidly planned, from there Gums would go to the lizardmen for help getting the gemstone back, using Quickdraw's name to get in then taking down the posse of thieves with the lizardmen's help.
I wasn't planning on doing anything super groundbreaking, just a western with a fantastical bend, probably around 500 pages total, basic theme of trying to escape one's past and copping the consequences of other people's mistakes (gum's dad left their family with a debt he had to pay off, quickdraw is killed as a result of gums's actions throughout the story, gums attempts to atone for that)

>What type of project are you working on?
rpgmaker game. the project started as a video series back in february last year. eventually turned into a comic but i only got six pages in before deciding to make a game instead
>What inspired you to create this?
older stuff i've tried to write probably. it has a lot of themes i like to write. not really sure what the exact inspiration is
>How far are you into your project?
further than i've gotten in other projects so far. only taking into account the game i've been working for about 10 months (beginning of september last year)
> Any previous projects?
i've never finished any of my projects. i've attempted a lot of projects but i couldnt really stay interested in one thing for very long in the past. it's easier for me to do this now so i want to finish most of them eventually. most of my previous projects have been written only but i have done some videos and comic panels that never really got a continuation
>Any social media?
no. i have a website though. it's down for maintenance but i keep forgetting to work on it so it's been like that for a few months. i mostly post to dad these days
>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?
sure. not sure what to ask about when it comes to this project so far though. something might come up later so i'm open to it whenever
>video
video is just something i made for fun. i promise this wont be in game. i like the default rpgmaker sound effects and animations but i'm going to have to replace them with my own eventually. this project is my first time working with a lot of things like sound effects and sprite animation

You almost certainly won't finish it. That doesn't make it a bad idea, or "stupid", it can still be a learning experience. But you almost certainly won't finish.
If you've never done a comic before you'll struggle even with a basic 15-20 page one.
Just try that. If it somehow turns out to not be much harder than you thought you could expand and continue it to 500 pages or whatever.
Just writing the script alone, without any illustrations, with enough content for 500 pages is probably beyond your abilities if you're not an experienced author.

I'm currently working on a comic full time, 10-12h per day almost every day

Honestly if you're down to just hang out in vc sometimes whenever you're drawing and you're productive and not just hanging out, whining about politics, a porn artist or a mentally ill, terminally online outcast I can drop my @, skill level doesn't matter as long as you're trying to improve

>>7241248
Yeah, same here
I feel like the main issue with people on discord is that they lack actual real life friends and are trying to compensate for that by hanging out online

The redpill is to accept the fact that online relationships are parasocial and shallow which I think is perfectly fine, I can like another person and appreciate them without really knowing them
It's ok to have a good, comfy time with strangers

Hanging out on vc while being productive also makes me feel even more productive if everyone else is being productive, it has a boosting effect
nodraw doomer hangouts just make me lose my motivation and faith in humanity

If anons want to talk to each other they could always post socials or discuss topics in-thread. It's pretty slow atm so it's not like a server would be very active either. Not to mention that anons are likely better off without added distractions, and can reach a wider audience by posting wips publicly.
That said, if enough anons are willing to post work with an endorsement for one, I'd be willing to open an official /proj/ server. Other than that I think things are fine as is.

>>7237791
Sucks that there' no link, but congrats anon! Do you have any tips and pointers for others who want to do the same? I assume that the biggest one would be to learn Japanese though.

Also, how much is good enough to learn? Enough to pass the that test they have? What about including cultural elements in your stories and work? Such as being aware of how Japanese people might act when you are writing up your strories?

Questionnaire:
>What type of project are you working on?
I am working on a comic to be releases, hopefully by the end of the month. It's about a mermaid and a vampire set in my setting. It's romantic but also pretty. I did 10 pages 2 years ago for Mermay, decided to do 4 more pages. I'll be adding 5 information pages at the end for fun.
>What inspired you to create this?
I decided to do a zine for the first time in 2022, I went idiot mode and decided to do it twice. Since it did poorly on social media, I decided to make it into something people can buy from me.

>How far are you into your project?
I'm on the last page, I was taken far back because I'm doing full color spreads and I...suck at drawing forests and landscapes.

> Any previous projects?
I have other projects like drawing all 110 characters of my setting but I suck.

Also, on my patreon I do poetry/my art and post it on there. I do post the same poetry as a speedpaint on my YT channel but it's hit or miss.

>Any social media?
Yes, nijhia@instagram.

>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?
Maybe? It's not on there anymore. I took it down since I want people to pay for it.

>>7242956
Any japanese knowledge helps but it's not a requirement.
>Also, how much is good enough to learn?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Like, how much stuff do you need to make before you can go pro? There's no number to hit I'm afraid, just make a lot of stuff and you'll gradually get better, when you hit a point where you can say your work is comparable to the worse/more average published work then you should definitely consider applying to a publisher.
>Enough to pass the that test they have?
There will be an art test, yes, and naturally they aren't going to publish you if you can't draw a page that they're satisfied with.
>What about including cultural elements in your stories and work? Such as being aware of how Japanese people might act when you are writing up your strories?
You just have to make something that will make *sense* to a japanese audience, and that they can relate to. It's fine if it's not a perfectly accurate depiction of japanese life, if you set it in japan that is. They're not aliens, and not all manga needs to be set in japan. There's plenty of shared human experience. Of course, the more familiar you are the better, but there's no hard requirement to hit here. Think of it like this: plenty of american movie productions are headed by non-americans. If people like Verhooven or Polanski can make movies that an american audience can enjoy then you or I can make porno comics that a japanese audience can enjoy.

>>7243008
>>Also, how much is good enough to learn?
Sorry, I meant Japanese. I know that there is a Japanese language efficiency test out there so I was wondering if it would be helpful to know about enough Japanese to pass to pass that test.

Yet, since you it's not a requirement then who is putting in the text for you? Do you hire someone to do that for you or is there someone one at the publisher translating your script and sound efx?

>There will be an art test, yes, and naturally they aren't going to publish you if you can't draw a page that they're satisfied with.
That's interesting, but it totally makes sense!

Thank you so much for answering though! I have some more though:

How did you apply? Were you able to find the the contact of a submission editor online or in a one of the magazines?

What kind of comics did you have in your portfolio? All porn or a mix?

>Think of it like this: plenty of american movie productions are headed by non-americans. If people like Verhooven or Polanski can make movies that an american audience can enjoy then you or I can make porno comics that a japanese audience can enjoy.
That is true! I was thinking about Bahi...I remember some people saying that you could tell which scenes he animated since their poses weren't very 'Japanese-like.' Though, I think the most important thing is to try though and hope someone wants to give you a chance, right? Esp. since Bahi is still working in animation.

Thanks so much anon! I definitely want to try this out!

>>7243034
I write the dialogue myself. Since my japanese isn't very good, the dialogue has plenty of grammatical and choice-of-phrase problems that the editor corrects. We have google translate, so to be honest dialogue isn't that big of an issue. You mostly just need to know enough japanese to know your 僕 from your アタシ and the like. How characters express themselves is the key thing here.
For sound effects, well, there's thousands upon thousands of works out there to use for example. I just looked at them and paid attention, that gave me a basic understanding. Plus, just googling for resources on japanese sound effects will get you to some incomplete lists of SFX that can also serve as example, but the works themselves are the best model. It's worth remembering that japanese people fret over their sfx a lot too, it's a complicated and ambiguous part of comicmaking that has no singular "right" way.
>How did you apply? Were you able to find the the contact of a submission editor online or in a one of the magazines?
Most publishers will have a website with instructions on how to apply. Some might require setting up a meeting, some require email submission. The one I'm with just had an open submission portal right on their website. Nice and easy. They'll contact you through email (or, frustratingly, twitter DMs) to discuss further.
>What kind of comics did you have in your portfolio? All porn or a mix?
I've made mostly sfw comics. I didn't send them a portfolio though, I sent them a complete 40 page porno comic.

>>7243034
>Sorry, I meant Japanese. I know that there is a Japanese language efficiency test out there so I was wondering if it would be helpful to know about enough Japanese to pass to pass that test.
Forgot to answer this bit
I haven't taken any of those tests so I don't know where I place on them. Not very high, I would think. I depend a lot on external tools for reading & comprehension, though I'm picking it up as I go.

hello it's me the 300 page google doc ideaguy. i'm here to tell you about my faggy furshit

>What type of project are you working on?
Horror comic. A 19-year-old girl moves with her family to a small rural town, but finds that the phantom that terrified her during her childhood may have followed her.

>What inspired you to create this?
I got the initial idea from studying computer architecture while watching Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I was really struck by the contrast between a completely orderly world where there is always a plan and it is always followed, and a wild artistic world that rebels against the status quo. Both of these would have their pros and cons, so I started thinking of what kind of characters would inhabit these worlds. The setting and story followed from that, two rural communities that hate each other, and a supernatural presence (attached to the girl) that manipulates them towards escalating violence.

I also like Italian giallo cinema, hence the masked killer with trident. I created a language similar to Italian so no one will notice when I make grammar mistakes.

>How far are you into your project?
I've drawn 22 pieces that serve partly as concept art, partly to teach me fundies. Scripted out the first 25 pages, finished 3. To turn the synopsis into a full script, I think I need 30 chapters at 30 pages each, so I'm definitely a retard who is in over his head.

>Any previous projects?
Nope, I started drawing so I could make this.

>Any social media?
I plan to post it on comic fury, I think. The vertical scrolling format of webtoon doesn't appeal to me.

>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?
Sure, but I think I already know what that would be:
>grind fundies
Yup! Maybe Hogarth's Wrinkles and Drapery next.
>your story is too big, you'll never finish

I bought a "comic diary",a thing with pre-rendered blank comic panels that you draw in as the titles suggest. Or not. I attempted a strip but got bored of it,with one half page filled in. Then,recently,years later,I started this.

Call it a grind. Call it a study,a storyboard, a rough. It's several of these at once, in the guise of a story. One that I have alluded to,the Bad Old Days,in the "present" of the bulk of my work,here I now explore,laying down the bricks of lore under the feet of the narrative ,thinking then and there of its history, this significance, and inscribing it in the stone of this comic. I am also writing this story procedurally:I draw something, see how it turns out,then point the plot in that direction. What comes next.

When I do these things, I post them in the furry thread,and the serial will continue there. I am more concerned about getting story on paper than refining the art. The pre-rendered panels also are a challenge for composition, and I enjoy experimenting with camera angles and blocking. I do only "so much" art,to convey the situations, but with this one I wanted to play with a set room and refining a detail per panel so the reader can visualize them in other panels when they are but rough scribbles. It's a big pad,and I have only the vaguest idea of what will happen.

So let's find out together.

i'll explain it as well as i can but i'm not that confident in my vocabulary or ability to explain it. haha
it's 2009 and it's the last day before summer holiday starts. it's very hot, reaching temperatures of about 40c or higher consistently. the first signs of a war can be felt throughout the world, but discussion surrounding it is treated as a rumour for the most part. an entire school is isolated from the rest of the world by the ghost of a former student from about 50 years ago, under the pretense of protecting the people inside from harm. a few students are appointed to guard different floors of the school. said students being people who have given into paranoia surrounding the war, while the character you play as just wants the school to be released from imprisonment
i like paranormal stuff as well as end of world scenarios and stories that take place during war. the setting of a school just before summer break reminds me of these things for some reason. that's most of the reason for why i went with this

I am working on a Sci-fi horror webcomic/webseries Titled “Beyond the Veil”. It’s meant to be mostly episodic, so anyone can jump into the story at any point.

The “primary” setting is that of a Cyberpunk Dystopia. But readers will quickly find out that the implications being made in BytV are far more reaching than it’s base Setting. I will absolutely use this as an opportunity to tell stories in wildly different settings.

prologue here: https://globalcomix.com/c/beyond-the-veil/chapters/en/1/1?utm_medium=GCMobileReaderApp&utm_source=share-release&utm_campaign=Gaspacho&utm_term=78884

>What inspired you to create this?

. At the surface it’s mostly Twilight Zone and Black Mirror inspired. But I have many other Authors and and Artists I pick up ideas from. The most popular being: King, Chreigton, Lovecraft, Giger, Miura, Junji Ito. You know, the guys everyone is inspired by. Lesser known being: Zelazny, Shelley, Chambers, Liu Cixin, Koseman, Harlan Ellison.

I can’t name everyone, But these were the biggest and most influential to me and my project.

>How far are you into your project?

1 Year, 6 months.
I released the Prologue on Webtoon and Global Comix about two months ago. I have 11 or so stories written. I am about a quarter of the way through drawing the first major story. Tragically, I don’t have a major social media following. So I still have a long road ahead of me with this.

> Any previous projects?

Yes, I have/had a Terraria Mod. I made a mod called “The Portraits Mod”, you can see it on the Steam Workshop. Just gave the NPC’s faces. It doesn’t work atm, update broke it :(

>Any social media?

Yes, I have a twitter: https://twitter.com/JustALurker20

>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?

Absolutely! Tell me what stinks. I can answer any question.

thank you. aside from a few other rpgmaker projects (and minecraft skins i guess) i dont have much experience in pixel art but i think ive learned a lot about it recently. still need to fully figure out dithering and have to do a lot of colour palette reduction
updated this area. have to come up with more things to put in the empty space. so far i have some machines or something i dont know if they're generators or what but they were in a drawing i made a while back so i put them there
there's supposed to be a middle area in between the left and right side but i havent made anything for it yet so i just made them connect

Nta but your panels are a bit hard to read. For example the black figure mixes in with the background. Try changing the values or adding textures to different parts to keep them separated.

Gonna make a rpg game probably in GameMaker2. To avoid too many sprites i'll make the characters only able to visually turn left and right. Kind of like in Crypt of the Necrodancer game. I do wonder if that will be off-putting outside of combat.

is webtoon still the best place to publish a webcomic?

Yeah, you are. Interact with people. Don't be fake though, just be social. It doesn't matter how big or small the person's account, if you talk to people and you don't look like a bot or a grifter you're going to naturally get people looking at your account to see who's talking to them/liking/retweeting their posts. Social media is designed to be something that keeps you on the platform.

>What type of project are you working on?

A comic! It's pretty silly in tone, but does have some serious moments here and there.

>What inspired you to create this?

I always kind of had various comic ideas in the past, but now I decided to just actually do it

>How far are you into your project?

16 chapters of planned 36 are out, scripts up to 20 are done.

> Any previous projects?

Nothing serious drawing or art wise... but I do dabble in music.

>Any social media?

Ya, Twitter and insta

>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?

I have several lined up, but right now I'm focused on finishing my animated series from HighSchool. "Super Train Warriors ZX;Steam". It fell into development hell from rewrites and getting V.A's, but I managed.
>What inspired you to create this?

Years ago when I was shown Nyan Neko Sugar Girls, I fell in love with it's silliness and aesthetic, wanted to combine it with shounen action and other stuff I like.

>How far are you into your project?
About 95% through Episode 2, should be done within a few weeks.

> Any previous projects?
Episode 1(warning it's absolutely horrible) and 1.5, everything else is in progress.

>Any social media?

>Any social media?
@gonzalo_wvb on twitter, it's pretty much dead bc I'm kind of an autist.

>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?
Yes, in almost two years, the feedback I've received was exclusively about the grammar (I'm esl), and the plot being confusing. I tried to go over old episodes to correct some typos, but what really bothers me is the latter.

Some friends told me the plot was hard to follow, some other friends told me it's easy to understand. Some readers seem to understand the story quite well, while other simply don't.

So yeah, ANY kind of feedback would be very welcome

I really like the art and the atmosphere, but I think you went a little overboard with the Blue Horizon info dump. The cyberpunk elements are perfectly conveyed through the pictures, so it isn't really necessary to explain everything to the reader in the very first episode.

Maybe if the text between the panels weren't so dense, it would be a little easier on the eyes. As it is, it really disrupts the flow and makes the chase sequence feel veeeery slow. I'm not saying the dialogue itself is poorly written; in fact, it's really interesting.

However, if you're using the vertical scroll format, you should keep in mind that the audience you'll be reaching won't be as willing to read huge blocks of text between panels, or at least not until they've read a few chapters and become invested in your universe.

But this is just my opinion, so everything I just said could be wrong.

That being said, your comic is really cool.

>What type of project are you working on?
A superhero comedy animated short film called "Golden Boy and Gorpion". I animated, drew the backgrounds, and did all the main character voices all by myself.

>What inspired you to create this?
I love superheros, animated comedies like the Simpsons, and internet cartoons like Hellbenders and Eddsworld. It's been a life goal of mine to plant my flag & really try hard to make my own animated short/series. I'm not getting any younger, so I decided to buckle down and just make the thing. The first episode will be about 9 minutes long.

>What inspired you to create this?
The Brazilian Hatsune Miku trend and my love of old magazines and advertising.

>How far are you into your project?
Not far. I was inspired by a specific spread from a Japanese fashion magazine circa 1969. I want to keep her signature pigtails, but I'm struggling to find a reference from 1968-1971 that I like- the outfit is very "mod" but most pigtail photos are more fluffy, with bows

If this goes well I'd like to do more based on other period references. I want to emphasize what someone in 1969 Japan would have ACTUALLY worn, and not what we imagine they'd wear.

This is a fun challenge. 5 hours are long enough for multiple finalized pages while also being so short you don't second guess everything that looks "off" and focus on finishing on time. And you don't have to do it in a single session either (well I couldn't lol)

>What type of project are you working on?
manga script heres my idea of the story:
In a near-future society where individuals are constantly connected through a virtual network, 28-year-old Mei struggles with feelings of isolation despite the omnipresence of digital communication. A talented artist, she creates hauntingly beautiful digital landscapes, yet finds herself questioning the authenticity of her experiences and the relationships around her.

After a glitch in the network leaves her trapped in a virtual limbo, Mei encounters echoes of her past—a series of holographic representations of people she once knew, each reflecting a different facet of her life: a childhood friend, a lost love, and a mentor who pushed her to pursue her art. Through these encounters, Mei is forced to confront her fears, regrets, and the emotional barriers she has built to protect herself.

As she navigates this surreal space, Mei grapples with profound questions about her identity, the nature of connection, and the search for meaning in a world obsessed with superficial interactions. "Echoes of Solitude" is a poignant exploration of loneliness, creativity, and the journey to reclaim one’s sense of self amidst

>if any fags would actually read it
That's impossible to know, readers don't care about ideas, and even if you think you've got the best idea for a story, you can still fuck it up with bad art, awful pacing, boring dialogue.

I'm pretty sure you used chatgpt to write that idea, and it's not even a good one. I mean, even bad ideas can work if you know what you're doing, but the only thing I can imagine when I try to picture how your comic would look like, is one these god awful ai comics with a girl walking alone for 20 pages while she awkwardly looks at the camera.

6 months ago I moved to a major city in the Midwest US and fell in love with a local musician (and artist in general). She makes experimental pop with midwestern postmodern dystopian vibes. She is fiercely motivated, talented, and independent.

I recently moved and this is the last project that we worked on together. She released it a couple days ago. As hard as it is to watch, I think she did a fantastic job editing my footage and her new EP sounds awesome. Very bitter-sweet for me but I’m so proud and happy to share.

I know this is a late reply but thanks for the feedback!

It was designed to be a transcript, I envisioned it more as background noise and not as truly vital information. I may have gotten a little too invested in this specific interview And I probably should have written a second or third radio completely different transcript to cut in, kill the text flow so that the audience would be forced to follow the visual story more closely.

As you said, the cyberpunk is clearly shown in the visuals. Although, I do plan to do a story or two about Blue Horizon and the clusterfuck that is the “space race” un this story, they are not going to be the central focus, and I think I could have conveyed that a little better.

I may eventually alter the prologue in the future, But I have no plans to at the moment. In the mean time I actually have another project commanding my attention. I still have plenty more cyberpunk/horror stories to tell. But I’m probably going to take my time with those. I’ll probably do a storytime on /co/ on this other project in the near future.

Questionnaire:
>What kind of project are you working on?
A prototype of an underground comic called "Dead End Kids".

>What inspired you to create this?
Classic Klasky Csupo animations.
More precisely the art. I want to bring that style back.

>How far are you from your project?
I don't know. I've been "working" on it for about a month.
I have several plot ideas but no script yet.
I've only been doing random illustrations of the characters before drawing something more concrete. In other words, a full story or short strips. I don't know yet.

>Any previous projects?
A lot. It wouldn't fit here.

>Any social media?
Yes, but I won't post it here for now.

>Would you like to receive feedback/criticism?
Please. Feel free.
Criticism is important for the development of the "artist".

Im doing a series of illustrations for short stories I like.

does it seem like the two character here are looking at each other or just past each other?
Any other criticisms or thoughts you could give me would be helpful as well.

this is just a sketch mostly to nail down the faces and the interaction between the characters, so disregard the general shoddiness, lack of background, hatching in the clothes, etc.

I've added some text from the story for context.

Prolly nitpicking, but the fingers getting progressively smaller looks wrong; I feel like they should be equal in size except for the little-finger/pinky which should be slightly smaller than the others.
Does he have one human arm and one wing?

I also don’t quite understand the feet. Is he standing on his toes or are the feet really small? Shouldn’t he have birds feet with the individual toes or digits or whatever

>What type of project are you working on?
A short webcomic, inspired by the works of two of my favorite comic artists: Vaughn Bode and Osamu Tezuka.

>What inspired you to create this?
I had ideias for a comic like this for a long time. I had a epiphany on how to make it all come together a week ago, and I've been trying to get it done as fast as possible.

>How far are you into your project?
It's been a week, and I've got the plot all figured out. I've reached the midway point page-wise, but I'm probably going to have to redraw it all anyway.

> Any previous projects?
I was making a game, but I can't go back to that until I finish this.

>Any social media?
No.

Yes.

Not sure if you intend to keep the handwriting since it's a bit messy but if you like the font I'd reccomend using calligraphr to make your own custom font ! It'll save you a lot of time and make the reading go a lot smoother while keeping the sovl.

GMI energy. Based degenerate. Nice nipple afterimage technique.

How did you get better at paneling and picking sexy angles/poses for scenes? Aside from juat practice. I'm feeling stuck no matter what I do, I've been fucking around with making some H manga and I've tried studying artists I like, but it still is weird or stiff or doesnt flow well. Or like the drawing is hot but when I put it into a page, it is kind of odd.

Wow, can't even imagine what kind of work/knowledge goes into making something like this. Amazing work!

>>7356338
thanks, and yeah It's a lot, animation is a beast of it's own, coding too which involves a lot of math and problem solving by creating rules and logic, and then you have to be mindful about animation for games specifically, it all gets very specific if you want movement and action to feel good.

No it's not. It's an outdated piece of shit book that looks and reads bad.
It's a literal trap almost at the same level as drawing boxes.
The best study is to imitate your favorite comics. Oh and also look into screenwriting.
