Violet Oscyle 🪻🐦⬛
I’ve been chipping away at some concept art for a webcomic idea I’ve had floating in my mind titled Violet Ties for about a decade now, so here’s a look at a flower concept design called the Violet Oscyle!
Kitttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Character consept for my next project
Character Concept, second draft
I'm not quite settled on what her name is, but she is going to play a significant role alongside my main character that I first posted.
ALSO, I am very back and forth between styles of either lineless or sketch and color.
I feel like a sketch and color has been the quickest, and might be better long term for the Web comic I have planned.
Hmmmm
I'm rereading a Q&A Past-Sofie made for herself refuting all her doubts and anxieties about making a webcomic. Here's a handful of excerpts:
"I can't draw cars."
Then use a setting that doesn't have vehicles other than simple carts, stylized carriages, and animals.
Or just learn how to draw cartoony cars. They don't have to be good. It's not that deep, man. It's just a comic.
"I don't want to mess up while drawing the lighting."
Then use cel shading in everything, mess it up on purpose, and pillow shade as needed.
Or just completely ditch the concept of lighting. Tons of comics out there, especially short form ones made on a tiny deadline, are drawn without a lick of shading. It's not that deep.
"I don't want to mess up embarrassingly with how I draw my characters."
Megukas (Madoka Magica longshot characters) are infamous for being horribly janky and people not only love Madoka, they love megukas.
"I don't want to create a neverending story." (For context, many webcomics aren't started with an end in mind, and that often results in the author getting stuck with the story for longer than anticipated.)
Then just write an outline with a dang ending!!
"I don't want to put out work that isn't my best."
Then your work will never get better. Your fear of imperfection is holding you back from improvement.
Your “best” is constantly evolving. What's your best today won't be your best tomorrow. That's the law of creative growth. Get used to it.
"I don't want to miss any updates and let down my audience."
Then have a buffer prepared.
Have goofy memes or a Q&A prepared to amuse the audience in the absence of an update.
Or, perhaps the best option of all, GET OVER IT. Imperfection is inevitable and if anyone is let down by that to the point it ruins their day, that is not your fault. You are human. You are not a machine. Mistakes and miscalculations happen. It's not that deep.
"I don't want to worry about building an audience for a comic."
Then don't. Just draw. Worry about it when you feel capable of worrying about it.
"I don't want to commit to a storyline that I might come to dislike as time passes."
Then change it into something you do like. Or, just learn to fall back in love with a project instead of abandoning it for once.
"I don't want to write things that people think are dumb."
If they think it's dumb, that's their problem. Not yours.
"I don't want to embarrass myself by being openly weird and nerdy and embracing my cringiness."
Do you really want to live that kind of life? Inauthenticity is far more soul-sucking than embarrassment. One day you're going to look in the mirror and see nothing staring back at you but a personality falsified in order to accommodate others. Can you stand that? Stop hiding yourself for fear of making people slightly uncomfortable. Be a beacon for weirdos around the world to be themselves. Get over it.
...um... I've just learned it's Webcomic Day (#webcomicday is the tag) on tumblr and of course it's the day where the update promo panel is a potty joke. Of course it is.
Ah, well. I'm not remaking it, so.
Reblogs are very much appreciated today! We've trying to build the audience for Side Quested because it's so new, and @alepresser is killing it on the art at A Girl And Her Fed.
Side Quested (the left-hand panel) is a medieval queer-friendly YA comedy. The story is less than 80 comics in and Charlie, the young woman with blue-tinted hair, has been having a really rough go of it. All she wanted out of life was to be a librarian in her small town, and that is definitely not what's happening to her.
A Girl And Her Fed (right-hand panel) is a sci-fi fantasy which blends technology, the undead, and extremely angry people who are trying to make a society here, damn it! It's a long-running comic with over 1500 strips, and is definitely the kind of deep read that you dig into for the details.
Thanks for reading and sharing!
