tl;dr

Thanks for all the love guys, I'm glad you're enjoying the Blackjack piece. I know it's rare to see something get such universal good feedback here so I'm really quite flattered.

>>5205708

I, too, will be embarking on a cowboy adventure, Western Anon. This idea's been in my head for a little while now and I've been itching to get it out for the last few days; don't worry though, the content and aesthetic direction are going to be quite different from yours. Maybe we'll be able to trade some inspiration given the desert setting. Looking forward to seeing how your story progresses.

I wrote a rough draft for part 1 last night and just banged out this character sketch sheet for the protagonist. Let me know what you guys think.

>>5207408
>Mescalito

Castanedabro?

>>5207428

I've actually not read him, Don Juan has been on my list for a long time now though

Gotta be honest you aint going anywhere with this, best you can hope for is a webcomic with a small obscure following. You wont be able to keep up with deadlines and you'll eventually burn out. This isn't supposed to be mean, just honest.

>>5207459

I'm well aware of how hard it is to turn art into money, but that's not my concern.

I'm not trying to "go anywhere," I'm just trying to tell a story about a cowboy. The goal is to make this into a graphic novel, print at a local shop, and then maybe sell it at zine/comic cons.

>>5207482

But thats "going somewhere", you wont even get that far.

>>5207408
westernOPanon here. Looks great! Godspeed.

>>5207482
>I'm not trying to "go anywhere," I'm just trying to tell a story about a cowboy.
Absolutely based

>>5207530
Are you going to make a new thread?

>>5207553
Nah, I'll probably just post in this one

>>5207572
Doomp it

>>5207588
I'll post them all somewhere when they're all done

>>5207408
>>5207482
I like this

>>5207451
Ah, you're in for a treat then. Regardless, judging by your artwork you seem like the kinda guy who would enjoy it. Real cool stuff you're making.

>>5205584
>>5205585
>>5205590
am i insane or did you already post this here like 2-3 years ago?
i swear i've read this before
still funny though

Just say you wanted to shill your comic no need to pretend to make "comic thread"

>>5209706

yeah I did, waaay back when I made it

here's sketches for my new shit, I'm not resizing and I don't care if you complain about it.

>>5209839

>>5209844

>>5209849

**NOTE: they are pages side by side, so read the left half first, then the right, not straight across.**

I'm going through the last comic I made... It's a shame I don't have the energy to do it again, but I still like the ideas very much. I was doing it on a 1 hour ish timeframe every day, sometimes twice a day depending how tired I was. I thought the enviornment was perfect for the format I was using and the subject matter, instead nobody was interested or giving any input so I just folded it. Maybe I'm just shit at comics. I don't have the energy to go through any of this again and I wish I did.

>>5209839
>>5209844
>>5209849
>>5209855
I'm loving this, anon! It's got a midnight gospel/kc green type vibe to it.

>>5209994

ah fuck he looks a lot like clancy doesn't he

i knew i was pulling this character from somewhere

>>5210202
That's not necessarily a bad thing, unless you yourself don't like the similarity. But yeah, he really does look like Clancy.

>>5209855
I have a feeling that you would like Al Columbia.

>>5210254

yuuuuuup, Al is the tits

>>5210431
holy FUCK give me your blog right now

Just finished inks on a page

>>5211028
nice!
looking real good

/mmg/ on suicide watch

>>5211028
Whoah, this is really good!

Is /ic/ starting some kind of western collab? If yes, count me in.

>>5211576
We're just coincidentally both doing westerns at the same time, but feel free to make one yourself if you want

>>5212062
i'll do it

>>5212340

I doubt you'll do anything, but if you do sounds ok.

howdy

I made the first page on a comic I want to work on.
I'm /beg/, but I really want to try and make something.
Anything I should work on? practice? fix?
I would appreciate it

Holy shit this whole comic is so fucking funny

hey guys, I am interested in getting into comics and I have tried in the past but always failed. I would always start on a project that was just too large in scope for my skill level. But the problem I find with starting small is I don't even know what sort of story I could tell in like five pages or less. When I look up writing I always get information on the 5/3 act structure and all that for telling fully fleshed out stories but it's hard to find how to structure or conceive of something much smaller that aren't just comedy

>>5213433
You don't need a story, just make some sort of character interaction or interesting encounter.

>>5210254
what is this?

>>5213613
Al Columbia's the adventures of pim and francie
good stuff

>>5212352
working on it. Here's the protagonist.

>>5205584
Advice for writing, OP? Very good stuff.

>>5206346
in regards to the first one, I think you need to find a way of rewording the first speech bubble, at the moment mario's just over describing the way he's a game character which is way less subtle, instead you should make him go on a rant about how free will is an illusion or something that isn't as on the nose. also the punchline is a really disappointing conclusion to an otherwise comedic concept, it's so obvious poorly thought out and immature and it feels like you created it as a means to justify the concept
I like the ugly ass characters but the arms and hands could be drawn the same way as the legs, and the hands less like traditional cartoon characters. at the moment it looks like you removed a kid's cartoon character's limbs and slapped them onto a mesh of robert crumb and gary larson
as for the other comics, they're not really that good. there's a way to make lowbrow jokes like these funny but at the moment they just seem needlessly edgy

>>5211028
>furshit
everyone praising you needs to yiff in hell alongside you

>>5214011
I made a page. English is not my first language so it probably reads weird.

>>5215902
at least I'm drawing.

>>5211229
>>5211492
Thanks. Here is a followup page I just finished inking last night.

>>5216091
I like it! Don't worry about the wording, it's fine. I wouldn't have known English wasn't your first language if you hadn't said so.

>>5216091
>>5214011
I dig it! Got a place where we can read more?

>>5216760
Thanks anon. Here's page 2. I usually post things in my IG, regular_size:monster.

>>5216987
awesome! followed!

>>5211028
damn that's fucking amazing! and super stylized!

>>5213435
This is the best advice I've found here.

>>5216987
>>5216091
>>5214011

loving the colors and style here

>>5211028
>>5216280

great stuff, super detailed. don't burn yourself out!

>>5215859

Thanks, honestly I don't have any idea what I am doing and I just fly by the seat of my pants.

>>5213433

here's what I have done for every visual story telling piece I have ever made:

>draw a character or two
>try to bring them to life with your imagination, imagine how they act
>then draw them in an environment, interacting with the environment and any other characters you create
>just try and let the story tell itself

your brain naturally makes up stories about things if you pay close enough attention, it's hard to follow the white rabbit sometimes though

Here's a depressing short comic zine I made a few years back when I was drunk all the time, reformatted for web consumption. More cowboy posts coming later tonight.

>>5217584
want you to know youre the first person ive followed from this website and ive been here for a bit
love your comics, hope you eventually post them on your accounts instead of just 4chan

I changed up some of the previous pages so I'm reposting them. Changed and rearranged some panels and made a few additions.

>>5217723

>>5217711

thanks for the love. I think I might start to post soon, instagram is the only place i share stuff though and it's not too conducive to comics

>>5217728

>>5217731

>>5205584
>>5205585
>>5205590
Fuck this is really good anon, I genuinely laughed at this. Do you have more?

>>5217762

thanks mate, I don't have any other strips in this same storyline

>>5217723
>>5217728
>>5217731
>>5217732

I'd really love some critique on this guys. Final art will be black and white, maybe some screentones.

Is this reading? Am I autistic?

>>5219866
Reads fine to me, although I thought "God damn, fine then. what's your name?" was said by the cactus for a second, since it doesn't really flow for the cowboy to say that immediately after what he said in the last panel. Feels a bit like NPC dialogue actually.

But otherwise no notes, it's very enjoyable.

>>5220519

thank you based western anon. hope to see more of your stuff soon

>>5216987
page 3.
>>5219866
Liking the vibes, cool acid western. I dont like the blue, but thats not a problem since it's gonna be B/W.

>>5221566
Great yet again.
>>5221227
Thanks. Page 13 done.

>>5221588
kino

>>5221588
if the 4th panel is the sitting guy dropping the gun, that is not clear

>>5221588
Absolute power move in the 3rd panel

Switching to black/white for your viewing pleasure

>>5221566
Absolutely great stuff man. My only complaint is that both barrels are smoking and there's only one bullet in the previous panel. I'd love to see one through the head, one through the vinyl.

>>5221588
hell yeah the legend continues.

I think you could maybe use some more action/motion lines like you're using them to convey motion in the Absolute Power Move 4th panel. I think showing some motion for other movements would help make this feel a bit more dynamic, as well as exploring other camera angles. Each of the first three panels are very similar, showing different angles will help the reader get a better idea of the action taking place as well as keep them visually stimulated. This is good stuff, keep it up.

>>5223714
yeah, I saw that as I was posting it. I'll probably need the second bullet in the next page. Also I changed the last panel as to show more of the consequences.
BN is much better for those pages, good job.

>>5223714

>>5223714
Thanks for the advice.
>>5224022
Man, this is good stuff. Can't wait to see where this goes. Only criticism is that in panel 5 I'm not sure what that thing is on the horse's flank. Is doesn't really look like a satchel until you see the cowboy digging through it, before then it looks like some transparent inflated bubble growing off of the horse.

Cute, b&w comics are a good way to study value. I should do one...
