This looks fun, how long have you been working on it?

I read your latest chapter. pretty funny. weird characters.
you're on the right track. keep going.

a nigger with a white woman

how old are you and what color is your skin

maybe he's just got a blacked fetish

Touch grass

Think so.
I don't know why, but the set up and final panel gave me a small laugh.

About 3 months. I spent January/February learning Procreate and figuring out a rough draft as far as paneling and scene composition goes (turns out it's a lot harder than I thought). I spent all of March inking and coloring about a page per day. Now that I actually know how everything works I can probably knock out a chapter per month but work has been kicking my ass so this one I'm working on now may take a bit longer, especially since I'm trying to avoid my comic just being heads in boxes talking to each other.

Looks really good, love the energy and colors. do you make process videos or anything like that?

Finished making the entirety of my fourth chapter. Just doing some minor administrative stuff before I release it into the world. In the meantime I've started work on the main cover for Volume 1, which will contain all four chapters when printed.

Thank you! I haven’t made one yet, but it’s funny you mention that because I was planning on making a process walkthrough video or something like that after the next update. Just to market the comic a little. Heres a Timelapse vid in the meantime!

Adventure Time vibes. The improvement over the 4 years is impressive too.
Thanks for sharing.

To add - what impresses me is how it seems you've always had color lighting and shading figured out well and then your form drawing caught up and everything came together so perfectly.

Thank you so much! It’s rare to find someone who actually leaves sincere feedback and critique these days, it’s really cool of you. I appreciate it. Adventure Time is a huge inspiration for me!

Hello there, is this the thread where i can talk about your personal story proyect? I have one in mind and I'd like to share with you all.

Very welcome, I enjoyed checking it out. Keep it up!

The dialogue was funny, but you could totally benefit from basic form drawing and perspective studies.

Yes

I don't really have any formal art training so I definitely have a lot to learn. Thanks for the advice!

Relatable I fear

Hey anons, sorry for the invasion. I don't know if you guys would like to participate in this, but I'm sharing anyway. Cheers!

hows your webcomic

well... im still on vacation, halfway done with uboss dailies: ubossdailies.thecomicseries.com/

just chilling playing games, slowly working on a cover page for chapter 3 of gluzzy master: gluzzymaster.thecomicseries.com/

*yes, thats Nutz's daughter pointing a bow and arrow at her fathers head. she is half spider half elf, her moms a spider if you haven't read the comic, Nutz fucked and knocked up monsters when high on the gluzzy crystals, he fucked a dragon to, those are his descendants on the cover page, solstein and begme. their gluzzy hole is on thier wrist, Nutz is on his chest. his daughters gluzzy hole is on the back of her neck, this is brought up in this chapter.

only wip i will post, just showing the only thing im working on thats comic related in between playing vidya gmaes. mostly adults only games, also working on my own adults only games. 1 is a pokemon spoof called goonermon im making in rpg maker, the other is a visual novel im making in renpy with free movement and lots of animated sex scenes. that one is secret, not even going to tell the name of it yet, this isnt my first attempt at making a vn, i made an adults only osrs renpy game a few years ago, just a small demo i shared with a few people with one sex scene. this is completey original and will be more than just a quick demo that shows i can make adults only games...

*i might also make a goonermon adults only webcomic to promote the game when its finished. it will be a name your own price download on itch.io when its done. im sure everyone will download it for free and thats fine and you never know, maybe some people might actually pay atleast a dollar for my goonermon game, you use domination collars instead of poleballs, i dont think i can show anyart here lol...

pokeballs*

Damn. Bones is more productive than me like usual. Got to cut back on these 9 hour a day video game jags

Go on…

I know these threads aren't much better at all, but damn are half of them just allergic to fun over there?
Thanks for replying to me in a previous thread btw.

but damn are half of them just allergic to fun over there?

To be fair I posted the thread at a slow time, but yeah, I thought after a couple of hours at least one post would've been made kek

It's one of those >who are you quoting boards which largely equates to nofunallowed.jpg
