@lunar-boo
for the few people who do come across this opinions of if I where to write a book with the main character struggling with wanting to amount to something but believing they won’t. And how would we feel if I ended that book with the main character actually achieving a lot but they died believing they didn’t leave a mark?
Do we like it?
love it
it’s ok
hate it
Other (write in the comments pls)
Out come of poll
MAMA
I had major art block and this was the final product after forcing myself to fight art block to death idk it resonates with me.
I think this depicts my emotions exactly whenever I see my Mama anyone agree?
I love my mama
yup I posted Ik that’s crazy
anyway had a little doodle of the Marco who despite knowing the inner workings of a car can’t seem to get a license for the hell of it.
hey just gonna slip this thing out for you I’m a first time comic artist and this is just a script so pointers or constructive criticism is all fine and dandy to me.
Um yeah it’s still an early draft and all that but I’m content with it at the moment just thought I would add it here.
“But we don’t have time to unpack aaaaall that!” I say, as my brain continues to unpack all that
Just eat it all then
mmm… the freshly-processed trauma really brings such a brightness to the dish. Perfectly pairs with the richness and spicy aroma of the newly discovered types in men
Try it with a dash of paranoia once you go there I swear you’ll never go back
“But we don’t have time to unpack aaaaall that!” I say, as my brain continues to unpack all that
Just eat it all then
Omg you guys I subconsciously did shape theory when making the first drafts of the main characters in my comic… huh? Thanks subconscious me I guess that will help with refining a lot.
WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE THAT I'M CRYING
he saw a bug do cybernetics on the ceiling
You guys the creative process is killing me slowly I'm currently working on a script for a dream comic of mine and when I say its a humbling machine I mean it. And so, while I was sitting at my computer getting myself handed by a word document I had a thought for any writers.
Whether its original or fan works just how do you go about the creative process, and is original or fan work harder in your opinions?
hello my super amazing moot :D
dropped in the box to say hi, and your art is actually killing it rn, but I have a important question. If you had to choose a forbidden food what would it be like paint, glow sticks etc?
Hiii fellow amazing moot! Thank you so much for the compliment! Ur so sweet widniwnxiehd 💖💖💖
Forbidden food, huh? Well, I consider anything that looks even slightly edible a forbidden food lmao. But if I had to pick one, it would be those fluffy slimes trapped in wax. When those break open? Oooooo I wanna bite it out of the persons hand! NOM!
Thanks for the silly question! :D
very interesting....
iv'e always considered the cloudy colored bouncy balls you used to win in gatcha's as a kid a perfect forbidden candy.
seriously debating following through this one.
leave it
ink it
Ink and color
I just want to see the votes
wow I can say things on here forgot I could do that

SHORT STORY/ONE-SHOT/ONE CHAPTER/COMICS 101 CRASH COURSE RAPIDPUNCHES’ STYLE
I’m NOT an expert but I have some working experience I can share. You need experience to become great. Here is my set of instructions, tips, and notes towards making a 12-page comic.
My method is to work backwards. Personally I work “backwards” because the end is the only wholly necessary page or set of panels in the story. Everything in between is open to editing and hacking as the most important moments are emphasized and chosen.
I even plan/draw the end page first. The end is the last page a reader sees- so spend your freshest energies on making it as epic, memorable, poignant, and beautiful as #$%^&.
If you draw the pages from 1 to 12 sequentially you run the risk of fresh to burnt out- an uneven distribution of drawing skill. (treat the first page and the 2-page splash as you would the last).
Roughly… the steps to making your comic is
WRITE
PLAN THUMBNAILS
DRAW
…BEGIN THE WRITING (DO NOT SKIP NO MATTER WHAT) like this, in this order:
How does it end?
Does the protag succeed or fail?
What is the turning point of their story?
What the protag do that led them there?
Where does it start?
Who is this protag?
EXAMPLE:
Guy gets mauled by a bear.
This is a fail on the guy’s half.
The bear must eat something or he’ll starve to death.
It’s the guy’s fault the bear can’t find other food. He caused the avalanche that buried all the cabins.
The guy is yodeling in an avalanche zone.
The guy is some guy.
CREATING “THE BEAT SHEET” Take the above stuff and reorder it to make sense.
This guy yodels.
Echoes roll.
Snow slides down.
Avalanche buries the mountain.
Cabins are engulfed.
This bear has no access to cabin food and garbage.
Bear eats this guy.
Expand. Blow up important beats for emphasis. Keep less important beats brief.
This guy is hiking in the snowy mountains.
He comes across an avalanche warning sign.
There is nobody around but him.
A dumb expression forms over his face and he yodels.
Echoes roll but nothing nearby is moved.
At the top of the mountain the snow drifts twitch.
Guy, satisfied, hikes away from there still yodeling.
Frozen snow cracks.
Snow puffs billow and great slabs of ice crash down the mountain side.
Guy sees this and hightails it to safer ground.
Animals, people, are all panicking and getting pushed over by the rushing snow.
Cabins are destroyed.
The guy takes cover by an outcropping of rocks, fastens himself securely to the rock face, and waits for the avalanche to die down.
Avalanche dies down.
A lone bear shambles over from the other side of the mountain.
The bear goes to where a cabin used to be (only roof tiles are left). Bear sniffs a dish satellite.
Bear forlornly eats a food wrapper.
Bear tries to dig.
Guy comes down from the rocks he as climbing and sees bear.
Bear stops digging and sees him.
Guy runs.
Bear chases him down.
Bear eats the guy.
BEAT SHEET COMPLETED!!!
After the beat sheet, write up all the sound effects and speech bubbles and conversation/dialogue you want to be in your comic.
Since comics are a visual medium, highest priority is given to the beats. If a story can’t be told with the art without the dialogue– you messed up and it’s time to rethink your life choices.
Try to keep all your text chunks as short as a tweet. Professionally you don’t want more than 25 words per speech bubble and no more than 250 words per page.
Next is translating the beats to pages…
STRUCTURE OVERVIEW:
[1] point of entry, in media res, hero intro
[2][3] conflict. establish conflict, setting, and mood by the third page. [4][5] rising action/false resolution to conflict/investigation
[6][7] turning point/plot twist/epiphany (this one epic image, to page spread is pivotal, spend a lot of effort into creating this)
[8][9] aftermath/“darkness before dawn”/struggle [10][11] recovery/“rise and conquer”/“fall”
[12] resolution/final end/cliffhanger
[front cover][interior] [interior][back cover]
——————–
My maximum per page is nine panels but I’ve seen pages that have way more. I like to have about 3 to 4 panels per row or less but I’ve seen the “rules” broken before. Advanced comic book artists manipulate time with the number of panels and the size of each panel.
remember, DIAGONALS!!! open up an issue of batman, superman, spider man, deadpool or whatever youre reading theyre everywhere.
———-
…DRAW IN THIS ORDER:
Page 12,
Page 6 and 7 (this is typically one large image that takes up the space of two pages),
Page 1,
and then the rest.
ONLY “DEVIATION” ALLOWED:
Page 12 and 1*
Page 6 and 7,
and then the rest.
*Draw the first and last page as a spread in situations where the beginning of the story mirrors the end of the story.
Cover is dead last.
———-
(If at the very end you find out you need more pages and it’s absolutely unavoidable and totally necessary you have to add them in fours. Try to stick to 12 pages for this crash course.)
——————–
FURTHER NOTES:
Plan and draw the pages in spreads (the twos) since this is how it will appear in print and when you submit them to an editor for review guess what, the pages with an exception to the first and last will be reviewed as spreads.
You at most only need one establishing panel of the setting and environment (scene) per page.
Forget “true to life” perspective outside of the establishing panel). Practice diagonal composition of objects and subjects within panels. For dynamism.
You don’t have to present the text all in one go (one paragraph or bubble). You can and should break up paragraphs, sentences, and if you need to single out words– to make smaller, more easily managed bubbles to scatter through the panel.
Less important moments have smaller panels and or lesser detail. More details (or more word bubbles) slow down time. More drawn detail also creates a concentration of values (it’s darker and sometimes combines together as one shape or mass)
Know your light sources. Control the blacks. Control the values.

Thank you to everyone who tipped me $ and helped me survive thus far. I hope to read your comics soon! UPDATED 03/31/2021
Oh look at this useful thing! Thank you beautiful people. My artistic journey continues.
This stuff is genuinely super helpful I have been stuck at a stand still with my first comic and sure I had some idea on what I was supposed to do but after a day of referencing this`and I've made substantial progress.
I want to draw something silly, give me ideas, please.✨
A little frog.
Or perhaps
A little gay frog
Here's your frog, I had to rush, I sorry. Have the free viking with gout I drew, in relation to my holiday. 💜
It is done. @lunar-boo
