How did you figure out an artstyle? Sorry if this has already been asked before. Just wanting to start a deltarune comic but I don't have any idea where to start

Artstyles are essentially the culmination of all the things you personally find visually appealing in media. You don't develop one on demand. It's a subconcious process.

Ask yourself what shows, movies, comics, games, etc. you like and what you find personally so great about their visuals. Then look at your art. Do you notice little things within your art that you can trace back to those things that you like? Most likely the answer is yes. Even if it's only subtley.

So my call to you is: don't feel like you need to develop a style first before doing what you want to do. Just do it now. You already HAVE a style. It will only shift and grow the more you draw and the more pieces of media you get into.

Waiting for the day Solar Sands is forced to apologise to the internet for all the damage he’s done to young developing artists at the time. And also being a bully. Also PKRussle. Also deviantcringe but he isn’t on the internet anymore!!!!

We all deserve an apology!!!!!!!!!!

Your deltarune comic has always been a great source of inspiration for me. Have you ever had concerns of people's reactions to your comics being that is cheesy or cringe or is it something you've never had to worry about?

Truth of the matter is when you put yourself out there you kinda have to expect that sort of thing. What you make won't be for everyone. There will always be at least one person who hates what you do. But there will also be at least one person who sees you as their favorite artist.

So instead mulling over the inevitable possibility of one or more people thinking what you do is "cringe", you should focus on the fact that you are having fun. And that through that you might end up inspiring many more artists out there.

Cultivate your own experience. Inspire other's growth.
