Shit

>>7888428
This is extremely generic

>>7888435
I feel bad for saying this but this guy is right. In addition, it’s too text heavy. I could have told this entire story with 1/10th the text and better framing + narrative detail

Words words words, with a couple accompanying doodles. I couldn't be bothered to read past the first page. The characters do have a nice energy to them in a goofy Scott Pilgrim way.

It's likeable.
The "fucking whore" bit doesn't seem to fit in with the rest at all, though.

Push forward, you need to see what are you capable of, how fast can you do whatever you can do, keep going, keep creating room around you, you will evolve fast and naturally just putting out this as you're doing, almost like writing. This is amazing format-wise, keep churning out pages. I'm sure you will even get to stylize and simplify your stuff even further. Just keep letting this stuff flow, that's what matters, to flow, whatever shape it gets through out the process will come inadvertently

I'm not sure what can really be said with only this much to go on. It seems fine for a start but I'm not invested without anything more to go on.

Needs more drawings, less text. But kudos for doing it. Drawing comics is hard and a lot of work.

>>7888430
Is "their class" refering to thief, or woman?

i found these enjoyable to read. im not a writer but the dialog feels really on target and the way things build with the introduction of the thief is nice.

the drawing execution is interesting, and the way the style slightly shifts between face closeups and full body is fun. The part where the paladin unsheathes his sword is iconic, sort of an "adventure time-esque" dramatic moment.
>>7888429

you've demonstrated that you can mix writing and drawing (which most people cannot do) and you just have an interesting thing going on with your drawings. Id say the lack of clarity with hands grabbing things is maybe the biggest issue (but every artist struggles with this, very hard problem to solve) but at the same time you have a style that circumvents any kind of critique for the time being; its more important that you just keep going with this story and concept (where characters with very different goals are "stuck" together) and not think about finessing the drawing or anything like that just yet

>>7888451
>>7888619
I can't tell if these guys are trolling OP or just don't really know much about art but want to give support to a fellow creative.

>>7888428
These are really more of an illustrated manuscript than a comic. I do appreciate the F it we ball attitude, thoughbeit. Despite it's flaws it's still better than endlessly wallowing in theory and practice and self doubt while never producing anything (like me). Make it exist first and then make it good, as they say.

anon wait, its just literally the first scene lol ahah
but maybe it is in the end.

>>7888451
I couldn't explain better. At some point i needed to move on from drawing unconnected doodles or real life portraits, and doing it is the only way.

My hardest handicap is that I activelly refuse to do anything digitally. I just never learnt and dont feel like doing it now, so let's find out how fast and good I can make something "that works" by hand, by myself.

>>7888502
I plan to upload pages in real time, but that might mean 4 a day at most, or even none if I dont find time to do it.

>>7888525
Hahahah Im glad i kept it ambiguous.

>>7888619
thanks for the review anon.

>The part where the paladin unsheathes his sword is iconic, sort of an "adventure time-esque" dramatic moment.

I was myself amazed at how it turned out haha


A little more about the work:

I plan to use different colors on each scene to illustrate the characters being on different lights (interior, morning, jungle, night, dawn, etc) but without going very realistic on it. Its more like a NES palette shift

This first chapter is aiming towards 24 pages or so. I have an actual big story in mind, of which this whole chapter is just the intro. Lets see how it goes. It might not seem obvious now, but the story is going into nsfw territories at some point.

about the wall of text, well, I guess it is what it is. Action scenes will probably have less dialog but on talking scenes, you have to have words xdd

>>7889076
Second batch felt way too wordy for what was trying to be communicated

I like the general concept of the art style and props for doing it all without digital, my nitpicks would mostly be about the story. Not much is established at all, it's kind of on the reader to understand that this is set in a medieval kind of JRPG world with a level system and now hexes for the overworld or something. Environments aren't shown and are barely implied and even the characters haven't really been shown in full either. It still mostly works for what it is, the whole thing not being very serious and all, but if you did more with the art then I think that would be beneficial. Honestly someone could really rip into this if they wanted to but I think most people will hold off considering the fact that you're at least making something, have a good sense of style, and are probably just doing it for fun rather than as a serious foray into the art industry. Kudos all the same.

Im stuck doing real world stuff today. I hope to do a couple more tonight

I'm enjoying it so far. Your handwriting is a bit hard to read though. I think it 10% more effort in that aspect would improve the experience for readers by a lot.

It's way too text heavy. Sequential art should never be more than 10% text, you're not writing a novel.

Two truisms you may treat as dogmas:
Show don't tell
Keep it simple, stupid

Kek, reminds me of when I was teaching middle school. Exact same thing the art teachers would send to the hyper markets for the expos, exact same format and childlike ignorance. That wasn't a compliment.

the chibi heads indicating whos talking is a big flag. its the most insufferably lazy trend that modern manga smeared out. I get the OP is like using markers or whatever but I mean its weird cuz theres composed panels sometimes and then none at all

OP i'm not gonna comment on the paneling and general comic knowledge but why not learn to draw first at least?

I at least read your stuff since most anons didn't bother. Why not try your hand at other creative endeavors like being a tabletop GM or something in the vein of that? You're clearly not serious about art or writing the story itself, maybe you might enjoy managing a world with players better.

>>7890570
the 90s was a golden era compared to what came before too, 90% of the dreck from the 80s people are nostalgic for in terms of music is genuinely quite bad and hyper reliant on the same tier of lazy studio tricks and copy pasted sounds that affect the worst common denominator pop nowadays, there's good stuff from back then but nothing that would've made it to the radio with any regularity

>>7891470
>You're clearly not serious about art or writing the story itself
wtf is wrong with you people? someone finally makes something and posts it and you bitter fucks crawl out of your holes to spit your venom onto it

>>7891582
I'm with you. Effort should be praised, and comics take a lot of effort

>>7891582
we have an entire general for this, you retard, you can literally read people's comics right now
what is this inane glorification of minimal effort, this is a critique board

>>7891582
>someone finally makes something and posts it
And got critiqued and didn't care and stayed here instead of going someplace where just making something would be seen as more than the bare minimum.

>>7891582
Effort? Effort you fucking retard? You call this piece of shit made with no rhyme or reason, no story continuity or even a shred of below average intelligible paneling, of which I could forgive to some extent, but no, this fucker somehow managed to squeeze in the most grammatically broken words I've ever laid my eyes on as well just to assault my senses on top of it all and you call this effort?
Am I supposed to hold this fucker to the same standard of effort like those of /trad/ that are painstakingly learning how to mix their oils, their drying times and how to layer in the paint or those of the animation general that are spending hours just to draw a couple of decent Inbetweeners?
Not only are there generals dedicated to comic making alone and just this alone, there are boards dedicated to just dumping shit willy nilly without anyone caring like /i/ without shitting up this board any further, but no, we can't even have that without you coddling retards arguing in an anime girl white void background about how "unfair" it is to call low effort garbage for what it is.
We can't have a single anon yell racial slurs saying
> READ FRAMED INKED NIGGER, SAGE (links to the comic or manga general).
With that being the end of it, no, what this board needs is this thing staying on the front page with everyone arguing calling this shit shit while the other side is counter arguing calling this a masterpiss in disguise with the next jackson polyps in the making about to descend on the world. The compliments are amazing too like this anon's >>7891357
> your drawing would look good if you could draw.
Like what the fuck do you want from us, the best critique this guy can get is to open a book and learn how to draw, how to panel and maybe a fucking book on the subject of English grammar. I'll at least give props to the anon for having thick skin and sticking around.
Also thank you for your service in shovelling more shit in the hovel, anon.

I think it's neat but definitely rough around the edges. This thread seems to have started with some overly positive messages and overly negative messages with the two sides now competing to turn things into a teardown or a hugfest. It would probably have turned out differently if OP appeared to care about criticism or advice but he just brushes it off which makes the thread being on this board in particular come off as unnecessary. I like the style well enough for being evocative of old school vidya cutscenes and more power to him for making something but if the only thing OP wanted to do was post it and nothing else, there isn't much we can do for him here.

>>7891671

I am aware that my art is not very advanced but if the critique is "learn to draw first" I just cant do anything with it. I'd probably never make any comic if I had to learn to draw first to the acceptable level of somebody on 4chan. I'll, for sure, learn things along the way.

Don't worry, OP, I'm not mad at you. Good on you for drawing something. Check framed ink to know how to make appealing paneling, ease up on the text as well, it's too wordy and redundant at times. You should also check the comic/manga generals for actual critique on your medium.
I blew a vein over the retard I responded to instead, may he stay a prebeg for the eternity of his life and all his descendants after him, if he'll ever have any.

end. Hope you liked this CFNM porn with tons of plot.

>>7895367
To end, this is meant to be the first tome of a long saga. IDK, ,maybe like 12 or 20 episodes like this one.

The overarching plot is to stop a lich from regaining power by capturing four phylacteries. The mission is not difficult per se, but the PCs make their own dangers; she does it by trying to capture every jewel or valuable shit she sees; he is distracted by women, but mostly from now on he is obsessed to see thief naked and vindicate his shame; which wont be easy,

However, I want to put some NSFW scene + some worldbuilding + some adventure in every tome.

Its been a pleasure, i'll read everything you want to tell me.

the way you panel is really appealing (composition is striking even when minimized) it but the text needs to be more legible, and i agree with the other anons in this thread, you need to work on your writing, both handwriting and putting your ideas more concisely, wordiness doesn't suit comedy like this and reading through the walls of cursive banter doesn't as for the format, traditional can work but i'd say, and the pacing regarding that doesn't give the comedy room to breathe by being so jampacked in every page. If you're trying to work on witty banter, i'd probably try to study some 4 panel comedy comics (funnies, comedy manga etc) and intertwine their style of dialogue with your style of paneling.
i really enjoy your paneling though, that kind of readability even when viewed squinted or minimized is admirable.

post your work, sperg. let's see what a quality art connoisseur like you creates if you're going to shit up the board with walls of pretentious seethe


(you won't)

also cursive is a difficult one in comics, it doesn't compress well at all so being shoved into text boxes is really not its strongsuit, working on print lettering and bold lettering would do you good especially around banter in comics. a lot of good comic banter tends to have emphasis bolded, and it's a lot harder to do that with cursive. (effectively)

Agree with the handwriting part. It was very difficult to read some of the text and I had to skip/ignore some of it because it was illegible.

>>7895367
LMFAO! That was great! I hope you do more of this funny shit anon. You're a absolute treasure in this god forsaken board.

thanks guys! i am already doing more of it. I love to draw but honestly I would not keep on going with this if there hadnt been any good feedback
>i really enjoy your paneling though, that kind of readability even when viewed squinted or minimized is admirable.
that one was not on purpose but I also was greatly surprised when I put it on the comicfury page. I'll try to keep on with it.

I think I cant write much better, though i will do my best. I guess I'll eventually edit and put some print letters, but I'll work on manual ones to keep the flow going on the first runs. Thanks anons I gotta do something with that for sure.

Faggots itt crying about people being mean. This site is dead

Fuck you mean? We've got the proko kangaroo, merc wip, purple haired anime abomination on the pier and man-tits saving a damsel pieces for staying power. For lolcows we've even got the "fun" guy, the howies, the guy turned tranny that started an only fans so he won't have to draw and co.
This OP just doesn't have that much reach, he ain't as interesting as those guys so he'll just fade when the thread reaches bump limit in a month or so. You need that certain something to make the /ic/ lolcow pantheon, and unfortunately OP doesn't have that spark, the work is bad but not bad enough to flood the thread unfortunately.

>merc wip
please god someone tell me why the fuck this is the most reposted image on /ic/ i do not get it i looked through the archives to see the first time it was posted and still dont get it

https://phylacteryquest.thecomicseries.com/comics/30/

started the second chapter on that page. I think i'm not storytiming in /ic/ because I guess it's offtopic. Take a moment to comment in the link so I know you've been there! see u and thanks

>>7905403
cuz it's one of the most known PYWs, the problem is the subject of the argument in question was something like
>can you make not generic shit?
>YE BRO
>merc_wip.png
so it's been immortalized as both a good piece in pure technique and also the most generic possible image you could think of at the time in concept art
personally, it's the purple haired abomination for me

>>7888428
BEST THREAD OF THE YEAR ALREADY

>>7904569
We also have GPT restating memes that are at least 10 years old! /ic/ has never been better.

>>7904569
I don't think that's true.
It's usually luck/random.
See the merc_wip image.
There's nothing unique about it. It's the most generic slop you can imagine. Yet that image is the most posted one on all of /ic/.
This is true for almost anything that gains traction or popularity. It rarely has anything to do with uniqueness or the "spark", whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

>>7913323
It's more so the story behind merc_wip rather than the piece itself, we had 6 fucking years in a row of people posting merc edits when somebody wrote PYW after all lmao.
>>7905616
This guy kinda remembers it but it was more like 2 gigantic retards arguing back and forth for threads on end and then one of the retards posts a PYW so the other retard posted merc_wip, mind you the first retard had some sort of art god complex so he got btfo'd by the merc retard and then ran from /ic/.
Course, none of them post here anymore, they'd both btfo the entirety of /ic/ if they still did.

>>7913448
But that's what I mean. Why that particular image in particular? Tons of anons should've had their images spanned but it was hyper-focused on that one particular image. Shit is too random. Sometimes the dumbest fucking memes get the most traction. Hawktuah, for instance, was fucking retarded, and should've just been ignored as whorebabble but it made the news. It honestly is more luck than anything.

>>7913791
I suppose you wouldn't understand if you weren't there for the ride.

>>7894617
This might seem random but did you learn to draw using Jack Hamm's cartooning book? I'm noticing some of the eyes here look exactly like the ones I saw in his book.
