ok I know some of GW'ers are doing comics or something (if I recall from the last topic like this half a year ago). Marcus I definately remember was up to something and Ninjapirate mentioned something also Nessiah is always doing a strip it seems. And I'm sure there's at least one other funky guy or gal around making comics. Even if it's a gaming webcomic about Reggie Feelsanime or the neurotic adventures of some random guy.
Quit leave us hagning on the phone and drop us a line. Give us some updates, some progress or what's been holding you back etc. Show our (gaming) world that comics are what's happening!

My random experiments with making comics have all been rather disappointing, but I've always gotten grean learning from what I've done wrong. Lack of detail in the foreground stopped me from drawing a pro Transformers comic cover, lazyness and disliking of the finished product caused me to drop a comic project I was working on. Other ideas never really got very far, due to not being able to get the right style, or lack of ability or just general badness. I wanna do a strip or two for Sonic the comic online, but I know that'll be somewhat restrictive and I can't be arsed. Plus no doubt it'll contain a heavily stylised sonic... Inspired by the master that is Majin Sam.

But now I think I have the idea, I've been messing around with it recently and I'm gunna give it some serious attention. It's a classic film noire style detective story. It'll have hopefully a distinct style, cross between ligne claire (THINK TINTIN) and the old noire movies. The inspirations being somewhat obvious I hope (EDITORS NOTE: if you think Sin City is a noire comic please kill yourself). I think there will be some slightly more artistic cues in it when needs to be.
I have the basis of a rough script for the opening done, and a general knowledge of where the story will go (planning in advance is for people who care too much).


If you guys have a website of your work or some WIP images or anything worth talking about. please share them
(if you guys update regularly I can sticky this and we can be one big happy family!)

dude what comics are you working on? I'll have to pick them up!
NinjaPirate, I'm often stuck in the same boat ti sucks. Have you thought about like teaming up with somone to help with ideas and whatnot?

I've been working on some comic that I can't tell the title since I have to retitle it XD
It'll be nice to see what you guys are upto aside from mine :3

I'm working on a Dracula-ish comic inspired deeply by Castlevania and some mesh of ideas and some god killing mode and organization 7 and some hellsing/trinity blood thing set in the world of modern day. I'm trying to redraw the thing since my drawing sucks and I really liked the story. With big heads small body by accident and some other random stuff I can't face.  I'll try uploading some little bitty drafts >.>

Since I write stories myself freely I guess I really didn't bother to get some partner :o
Kaworu~ When are we going to see a work of yours
I heard Jihaus will work on his comic soon after he finishes his game.

Heh, I have batted an idea around for a practice comic. In that all the idea has going for it is a small niche of people that would be stoked anyone would be doing a fan-comic of it in the first place. It just seems like the kind of experience/practice you get from seeing a comic through would be wasted on a comic idea you only wanted your best from.

Still don't know if I'll try going through with it. Maybe if I get an idea I would want my best from then I'll be inspired to get the first one started (although I do have quite a few undeveloped ideas I'm quite interested in tweaking into good ones)

Stopped reading here because the article doesn't apply to me.

The way you talk struck me like you're depressed because your art style is jap and some people that might be anti anime artists are criticizing you to hell or something. So I was wondering that this might ease your unsureness or something >.>

Currently I've entered a project into a small indie competition called Small Press Idol.  You can see my topic and judge reviews here: The Fairest Walk Alone

I impressed the judges with my writing (moreso than any other projects) but I didn't "wow" them with my art (default response: LOL CARTOONY SHIT SUX) but admittedly I drew the picture before I really studied up on perspective and as an actual cover for a comic you'd find in some generic dimestore, it's really tame and "kiddy."  It's not something the average Superman loving bloke would pick up and say "HOLY FUCK EXPLOSIONS AND SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN THIS IS A MUST READ!@!11"  I suppose if the characters were doing ridiculous poses while staring at the reader with that GRIMFACE look that basically screams out at you "hey, we're dark and edgy and badass, READ US!!" I might have done better.

Round 2, where we submit character rotations and action poses, starts tomorrow.  I still have a lot of drawings to finish but I expect to be done by the end of next week.  The earlier I submit these things the better because the judges get really jaded as time goes on.

As far as my 30 million other projects go, they're on the backburner until I either lose a round or find the time to work on them.
