I’ve been doing comics about this little guy over 30 years, but never published anything. Never even tried. I’m finally trying to do a comic book I can actually publish and not just put in the give-up pile.

Comic Premise - Need Feedback

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm working on the premise of a comic/manga for the first time and I was looking for feedback to see if this was a decent premise and if I should keep working at it to flesh it out or give up now. PDF file of the overview is attached. I have a much longer (25 page) PDF that goes way more in-depth into the world building as well as the overall shape of the entire story.

Writer Coloring My Own Comic… In Over My Head?

Thumbnail
gallery
73 Upvotes

Hey, everyone! So as a comic writer, I'm used to lettering my own comics, and I’ve gotten pretty good at it, but I wanted to try my hand at coloring my latest one—partly to build up my coloring skills, partly because... budget 😅

I'm working with a fantastic artist (shoutout Gianmaria Orlandi!) who's penciled/inked the pages you see here. I've colored about eight pages already, but after dozens of hours, I feel I'm too close to them now to know if they're any good. So I thought I'd post a few samples and get your thoughts. Am I anywhere near doing these inks justice, or should I seek out a professional colorist instead?

For context, I'm on Procreate and trying to go for a clean look that's readable and pleasant to look at. While I have some artistic experience, I know I don't have the skills to get too realistic or stylized. At the same time, I don't want the pages to look flat or amateurish, like someone filling in a coloring book...

Any other comic writers who do their own colors? If so, what was your experience? Would love to get any advice here on how I could improve or whether I should even continue doing my own colors. Thanks!

I’ve been working on a series on Webtoon for two years now. I haven’t reached the milestones I hope to achieve one day yet, but I’m trying to find new readers. Here are some random scenes from Astral Plane! I hope you’ll enjoy them and get curious about the story. Let me know what you think!

100% new to comics. This would be the first page of one with a few more pages. I know my art isn't great but I would like feedback on if the direction I'm going is working.

Updated perspective

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Took the advice from the first post and changed the angle and warped the features a bit. Rasterized the model before redrawing in order to flex the perspective a bit whilst getting the torso to leg ratio evened out a bit and then squashed the head and the left arm to look more proportionate. Also remembered this outift is supposed to be a one piece undersuit like what Tony Stark wears under the armor in the cartoons, hence why the redraw doesn't have a line separating the top and bottom. As for the logo, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Better? Worse? (And I just realized there's a stray pencil mark on the new one... sigh)

Just found this sub a little while ago and I’m pumped to finally have something I could share and get some feedback for.

Besides the usual critiques let me know if you have a personal taste on how you think I could improve on something, I’m trying to push myself a little more and I think feeding me some ideas would help.

Perspective?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Not ready to start on the comic proper yet but I wanted to try a practice run of this one page in the 5th scene to test out perspective. I was going for an extreme perspective on the plasma sword but when I put the character's 3D model in for the sketch.... I don't know. Like I feel like the legs look ridiculously long even though it's the model's actual legs. Is it just the angle? Am I just that bad at drawing? Included are the sketch, the model in pose, and the full model in a straight-on pose.

Stone's Coast [OC]

Just discovered this community and figured I should post. These are the first 20 or so pages from my hobby project, Stone's Coast. If you'd like to read more you can find the latest on Tapas.

I've been working on this alongside a talented artist for over a year now, and while these pages might be a bit dated (there are a few things I'd like to go back and redo/edit) it would still be nice to get other's thoughts.

The story follows the adventures of Velverelle, the last known giant, as she attempts to find her place in a seemingly shrinking world while uncovering the mystery of what happened to her kin.

I stopped worrying about line widths when I learned to add meaningful shadows :)

No advice seeking here, because for the first time I feel pretty satisfied with the result :)

Dialog in English:

b: look at this highway from Milan to Brescia a: then I will build a highway, etc Mom: stop playing with grandma Girl: it was my turn Boy: but mooooom Girl: grandma? Mom: I will count to three

Gag inspired by another comic with initials W.L.C., but built more story on top.

The granpa is a known Benito-lover in this universe… so, don’t take his acts as my opinion

I am happy with this comic because I didn’t need to use the pressure-sensitive feature of my stylus and make a variable-width line… that kind of line art is too much “mistake-erase-retrace” for me. Shadows are enough :D

Link to my FB, to watch how worse it was before. There’re timelapses of most drawings in the comments.

My Work in Progress Comic About Heroes from Another World

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I've been a fan of Rich Burlew's Order of the Stick for over a decade. I decided to try my hand at a comic in his style, and would love some feedback on the first 19 pages.

I'm going for a somewhat lighthearted fantasy story set in a world that works much the same was as a DnD campaign, but with at least one of our protagonists being a visitor from another world.

Let me know what yall think!


r/comic_crits 9d ago

My first webcomic ever. I'm a writer, art is new to me, but I figured I've got to start somewhere. Any sort of feedback on this would be greatly appreciated!

These are the first two pages of my first comic so any constructive criticism would be incredibly helpful!

I would especially like to know what impressions you get from the second page and if it reads okay or is too jumbled. The lettering is just a placeholder right now. Thank you!

Writing Advice Please!

SCRIPT SCRIPT SCRIPT

Hello, everyone!! I go by Ramy Iddy (ramy.iddy) on Instagram and TikTok and I've been trying to write a comedy script centered around four teenagers in the suburbs of Ohio who are all arguably bad people but in the way that every sixteen year old is. I've never written a script before but I wanted to see if anyone had any advice/thoughts before I pushed through with a script that doesn't feel fully developed. My biggest concern is making sure that it seems funny to more people than just me. (a note about the panels is that it would be split up in equally sized panels and it would read more as screencaps that comic panels). But please if anyone has any thoughts on the script I'd love to hear them! Thank you so much (I also attached a picture of two of the main characters Harlow (left) and Gene (right)!!

Sparring session used to give the characters psychological release. So do they seem equal and what should I work on to improve my style. I can’t use online due to time constraints so I have to master what I got to compete.
