Thanks for using my pic for the OP threadmaker. I've been pencilling pages of Cosmic Crush but it's going pretty slow because I got a new baby so am not getting much sleep or time

I'm drawing it in regular page format but I'm making the panels simple so it will be easy to reformat for scroll.

>>7123974
Damn, congratulations omeow. They say that the three months after the birth of a baby is an unofficial "fourth trimester" with all the crazy care a kid needs, so be sure to take care of yourself too.

>>7123974
>>7123977
That's actually adorable. Her growing up watching Invader Zim became the reason for her alien obsession.

Also, it's kind of funny that this is the case for your comic, as I know a girl in real life who did the exact same thing and was always (and still is) insanely attracted to Zim.

>>7123974
>>7123977
Oh no....she's cute!

Does anyone know if webtoon sends a notification to subs if I edit an old episode? I want to correct some typos, but I don't want to annoy my readers.

>>7125317
It doesn't

My first chapter got shoah'd off webtoons...
I guess I'm going to have to delete the first 9 or so pages. I knew it was a risk, but I thought my edits would be enough.
Am I allowed to reupload? Should I just upload a new chapter, or delete the series and start over.
I only had like 9 views anyway

Uncensored:

Censored version that got banned:

>>7126149
You can ask Webtoons what specifically has to be done to allow for those nine pages to be added back in. Worst case scenario, those nine pages just don't get included. Keep in mind that Webtoons is the most censorious of any hosting platform out there. You can still try a handful of other sites.

>>7126149
I usually don't say this but your work has heart. Even if you don't achieve the massive success that any artist desires, I think the most important thing is the learning that you will achieve in drawing it.
Don't make the mistake of "redrawing" panels. What's done is done and you must learn to let go. If you want to change something, do it when it doesn't exist yet, improve your skills for the future not the past.

Maybe not now or not even with this project but one day you will achieve the impact and all your past works are proof of your hard effort.

>>7126158
Yeah I guess I'll try and email them, that really didn't cross my mind.

>>7126159
I appreciate it anon, easily the most encouraging response I've gotten. I am trying my best to not make the mistake of redrawing panels and getting hung up on them.

Now if only you worked for webtoons!

>>7126149
I love your style anon, it's really charming and whimsical. I apologize for the unsolicited critique but I recommend you grind expressions hard, because the expressions in these panels are very flat, which CAN work in realistic styles but with a fluid cartoony style like yours exaggerated expressions are expected.

>>7126173
All critique is welcome, and I would love to do more exaggerated expressions, they are much more fun. I'll try that out.

>>7126149
>>7126166
>>7126178
You might honestly just have to post somewhere else like Comicfury or something.

>>7126178
That's good to hear, of course I don't mean go full Ed, Edd n Eddy but maybe shop around different styles to do some studies on expressions that work well with your style.

>>7126181
I will chip in and say also that places like GlobalComix and NamiComi openly market that they don't censor (just a warning label) as a selling point. INKR doesn't either, I think, but an NSFW comic won't show up on their app version as they are forced to obey Google/Apple's app store rules.

>>7126181
>>7126186
Never heard of it, but check out comicfury. I'll try namicomi as well. I wanted to post on mpc but it seems like they are also very particular on what you can post
>>7126184
Classic disney is a big inspiration for me, I just want to avoid the calarts expressions

Appreciate the feedback folks

>>7126191
Yes, MPC will also censor (hell, they originally censored my work as well), but at least they were extremely apologetic about it when I asked them what happened, and said it was because they were forced to due to the rules of app stores, etc. Their censorship requirements were also not as strict as that of Webtoons.

>>7123638
I stopped posting my comics on webtoons and Tapas . After reading their policies I don't want to support them. Maybe I'm being weird. But they seem like money grubbing companies.
Whatever , I'm a literal who anyway.

>>7127614
>they seem like money grubbing companies.
They pretty much all are anon, of course I woudldn't support any place that encourages heavy handed censorship (unless its homo love)
But I'm trying to build an audience, gotta play ball for now

>>7127614
You said it, we're all literal whos, our numbers are so small that webtoon or tapas couldn't care less about us. If we were to leave the platform forever, that wouldn't hurt them at all.
It's a lost cause, all companies are the same, but you can take advantage of them and use their platforms to promote yourself, or not, it's your choice after all.

Bump

>>7128631
>all companies are the same
The problem with webcomic hosts is that invariably all the major ones tend to be Korean, especially the ones that are popular. This means that they are going to be more censorious than your average western Europe/N. American site. FFS Korea doesn't allow depictions of bikinis because they're too "lewd." Literally stuck in the 1950s over there.

>>7130158
Are Korean girls allowed to wear bikinis on Korean beaches?

>>7130513
Women can wear them at pools or beaches, but doing something like walking down the street in a city will get you their equivalent of a misdemeanor and a fine for "overexposure."

>>7130513
I got my entire chapter removed. It had girls at hotsprings in bikinis. I edited out the cleavage close up, but it didn't work. But I'm not sure if I was removed for the bikini, or for the peeping tom.
(see >>712614 )

>Upon review, your episode was removed due to unsuitable content as we generally do not allow thematically inappropriate content on the platform.
Was in the email I got. So I just removed the entire hotsprings sublplot and replaced it with this image last night.
Waiting on an email from them.

It worked. Scott's a real one

>>7130869
For the Oi beach episode, Webtoon made me give Dana a tube top and remove any shots of cleavage, and to censor all ass and crotch shots with word balloons, but atleast i didn't have to delete entire pages. Medibang mangaplus creators has the worst censorship I encountered. After going back and forth with them for 3 weeks, I wound up having to entirely remove 8 pages from the beach episode. Before that, the comic was on a streak of getting 1k views a day and was in the top 15 fantasy comics. After they hit me with censorship, all views and momentum the comic had died.
For webtoon customer service, I will say they always responded very quickly and sent me screenshots of exactly which panels they wanted me to censor.
>>7124047
Thanks! He's definitely a very needy boy, but overall a cool guy. I look forward to when he sleeps longer than 2 hours at a time!
>>7124404
Penny is inspired by real life, an amalgam of all the anime nerd girls I knew growing up+ all the girls who come to my table at cons and buy Kitty Jenkins books. Hopefully this helps people self insert in to her more. My main challenge in making Zag a cool heartthrob guy without making him a nerd simp. In a lot of newer romance animes I've been watching like Signs of Affection and Hokkaido Girls Are Super Adorable, the guy is a complete blandly supportive nothing of a character. I'm checking out older romance manga to try and avoid that. Writing husbando characters is a challenge because as a guy I've mainly focused on writing waifus for the past several years. I welcome the challenge.

>>7131170
>Writing husbando characters is a challenge because as a guy I've mainly focused on writing waifus for the past several years. I welcome the challenge.
Any advice is appreciated. The archetype I know that works is the 50 Shades of Grey/ Twilight Edward dark and mysterious vibe, but that doesn't really fit Zag as he's more of a fun loving fuckboy playboy type.

>>7131170
>After they hit me with censorship, all views and momentum the comic had died.
Yeah I'm not even going to try mess with them then. I'll cut those scenes without asking

>>7131170
>In a lot of newer romance animes I've been watching like Signs of Affection and Hokkaido Girls Are Super Adorable, the guy is a complete blandly supportive nothing of a character.
It's the safest option. Readers can "take" all the emotional support without having to really care about the dude as a character. Having him have strong inclinations or personality would only limit the demographic reach, so you instead get a milquetoast man.

Just finished a black & white chapter.

>>7131729
You seem to get more engagement on tapas, do you think that has anything to do with your genre?

>>7131729
This looks fantastic man!

>>7131760
Not necessarily, there’s a number of things that keep Webtoons engagement low. One reason the engagement is higher on Tapas is more likely because that site, from what I hear, inflates the views so that every time you click on the chapter or look at it, that counts as a view. But, Tapas generally is more friendly towards audience and creator engagement as opposed to Webtoons. But also, you may have a point that this isn’t a genre that the main demographic of Webtoons doesn’t consume compared to what is out there (romance). But that doesn’t stop other Webtoons like World in the Waves and Goodnight Dana that don’t really have a focus on romance but have great story and art that reach their audience. I think the bigger problems come from the title (never changed it from its early days in 2020), the lack of colored pages, and the art style itself.

>>7135254
Feels like Goodnight Dana and Cosmic Crush anons are the only ones here. On paper there should be more of you guys than the amount of anons making comics in /mmg/ since chapters are smaller, you don't have to worry as much about paneling, and readers aren't as picky on anyone's art skills. So where is everyone?

>>7135264
I posted in the last thread, I was gonna finish my chapter then post again but if bumping with WIPs helps the thread I could start doing that

>>7135411
Are you the hotel anon?

>>7135503
No I am not

There's chance to make some money with this?

>>7135569
Possible, but unlikely

>>7135569
it depends.
are you a writer? no. are you an artist? no. are you a korean businessman? you'll get a 7-figure live action adaptation deal in minutes of your first upload.

>>7135569
If you're succesful enough, you can make it into originals, but from what've heard, it's like making a deal with the devil, the pay is subhuman and the workload is even worse.

You can also use patreon, there's a lot of canvas creators doing that.

>>7135575
>>7135579
>>7135586
Ok, then fuck this shit

>>7135569
>>7135648
You don't have any story you want to tell at all? You would only tell a story if you're getting cash?

>>7135654
You know that describes the majority of 'artists' today.

>>7135654
Not that anon, but many people dislike the vertical format, or at the very least, prefer traditional page comics over scrolling comics.

I believe we all have stories we want to tell, but choosing between one format or the other is a significant decision. Considering all the disadvantages that webtoons present, it's quite understandable if someone decides it's not worth it.

After all, if you lack confidence in ever earning money from your work, at least you can opt out and create comics the way you want to, without worrying about format, censorship, and the like

Lineart is done, just gotta shade and add text

My comic taking me WAYYYYYY too long to complete. I lose motivation then get it back, lose motivation then get it back, rinse, repeat. It takes so long to get my motivation back that my art improves, which in turn makes me wanna change almost everything which consumes even more time. This is just page one

>>7139796
Yeaah sorry about that, my buddy wants to work for riot so I'm making his writing into a comic in the hopes it can be a portfolio piece for him someday

>>7139791
Neat webtoon! The panel pacing feels nice to me as someone who reads on desktop rather than mobile. The color spot at the end of each chapter really adds impact to the story. At the end of chapter 1, it feels like a breath of fresh air after the characters have spent the chapter cooped up below deck.

New update :)

>>7131729
>>7131786
>the lack of colored pages
I think it all comes down to this, because I see no problem with the artstyle, I really like it.
However, choosing fantasy as your main tag is probably not helping much, because people browsing through the fantasy section are looking for angels, demons, dragons, and that sort of thing, so when they read "giant robot" in the summary, they get turned off.
>>7139791
Looks great, the character designs are awesome, and it's interesting to read even to someone who doesn't care much for runeterra as a setting. It really feels like a dnd campaign (in a good way). Good work.

>>7142483
>>7142648
That's anons, I appreciate it!

>>7123638
I had a similar concept to Cosmic Crush, except's more western and Invader Zim inspired.

This is Zac, he's an intergalactic scout. Claims he's a zoologist/ecologist of sorts to the MC. He's a huge coward and just wants to smoke space weed and eat Earth foods.

Also posting an old line-up I want to re-do. I'm more interested in the aliens than the humans, I think I want to remake the entire human cast.

YOOOOO TITLE DROP LETS GOOOO! Epic update!

I pose a question to you anons about your comic btw
>What got you into comic making?

>>7131175
I can tell from the design alone that he's a fuckboy type character, so you did well. Honestly would love to see more of this guy in a satire type comic (if we're making fun of archetypes that is).

>>7147552
I had never really been into webtoons before, but earlier this month on a whim I decided to click on your comic. I love it, and it just might be the reason I regained my interest in drawing actually creative things. I really like your style. It's very expressive and appealing. I like how it's approachable in its simplicity, how the underlying 3D forms are apparent making it easy to study. I wanted to figure out how it worked so I did a few studies, and to my surprise it was actually a lot of fun to draw something stylized. My sketchbook before was filled with little more than anatomy studies and floating heads. I was so focused on the constructive aspects of drawing that I forgot that gesture is what breathes life into a character. I think I want to make a webtoon now. Not sure what about, but someday it'll come to me. So, thanks! May the wind blow strong in your sails.

>>7149607
Thanks anon I'm glad you like it! I passed the compliment to my writer and he was also flattered. I got into both comic making and drawing because I was inspired by his writing
>>7150009
Anon I don't think I'll ever be this flattered again. Also you make him look very pretty and I really love how you do hands. I may need to reverse study your study somehow.
Also please do make a webtoon someday and post it here so I can enjoy it

>>7123638
Just posted the new chapter of this bad boy not long ago, gonna try and rewrite the next one a little before I start thumbnailing it! also, this general is WAY more chill than /hyw/ over on /co/.

how do you guys go about getting references? i've been putting off work on the next chapter of my comic for a while and i realized it's just cause i find it tedious to gather references for the kind of composition i wanna draw
>>7136161
this looks so 2000s internet im intrigued

>>7151081
>this looks so 2000s internet im intrigued
Thanks. I don't actively go for that but maybe my style is permanently stuck in that era. When the 90s nostalgia train ends maybe I'll be able to catch on when the 2000s nostalgia train rolls around. Here's the latest Penny

Thoughts on making a more kid-friendly webcomic aimed towards younger readers?
I see a shitton of teen graphic novels nowadays (physically printed) but what are they even into anyways?

What do you think of the new webtoon SuperLike?
I read that for 1Usd the author will get only 0.49Usd.

I activated it anyway but I don't think it will ever be used.

>>7152110
I think kid friendly stuff tends to have a lot of soul since people can't drench it with swearing and gore. I have no idea what today's kids are into but you can probably watch cartoons that are popular at the moment to get an idea

>>7147360
thanks for the reminder , God will spare you

is this a good amount of outfit detail for a webtoon or should i simplify further?

>>7152264
At first it looks like a scam, there's no point on using that instead of Kofi or Patreon. But, not everyone has a patreon account, and creating one takes some extra time that might deter people from giving you money.
It also takes some pressure off your shoulders because there's no expectation for extra content, which people take as a given on patreon (I don't know if the same applies to Kofi, I've never used it)

>0.49usd
Yeah, I wasn't expecting anything else from webtoon, korean corporations are straight up cyberpunk villain megacorps.

That being said, I think I will apply for it too.

>>7152264
It's P2W. Webtoon put a daily ranking for "super likes" above staff picks and on the canvas page, give yourself 50$ worth on a burner and be instant promoted

This is conceptual art for a comic about the life of a young hoodlum.

>>7135569
Yes it's possible but it's extremely hard since early 2023 because the Webtoon suits demonetized canvas artists and most originals now are Korean imports.
A few canvas comics are just the censored version of their nsfw Patreon and they make cash off fujos so maybe try that.

>>7152264
It's a scam.

>>7152110
General rule for YA writing is to write something you would have read when you were a teen. You have to be brutally honest with yourself.

>>7153761
that's actually really good advice

>>7153612
I'm sorry for those who do it.
I see the first in the rankings 1150 super likes with 569 subscribers, I'm sad for him.

lmao

>>7154072
I hope that at least it is added to the advertising revenue.

>>7153891
I see that comic too, wonder how much bigger the whales will get as this goes on, especially if they add weekly or yearly rankings

>>7154583
We'll see but I don't think it's a successful strategy if they want to earn something, on the contrary it's a strategy to lose money if instead it's just to increase followers and so their ego maybe will work.

where is the best place to post a one shot in your opinion?

>What got you into comic making?

>>7152110
Most readers on webtoon are young, so definitely you'll get more eyes looking at you.

>but what are they even into anyways?
I guess the same things adults are into, but more friendly faced and with less swearing.

>>7155852
there is an exploitation factor there for sure.

>>7153622
Working on my webcomic called 'young hoodlum' its an easy e meets bart simpson type character that fucks all the girls and smokes his opps. I'm still trying to decide what setting to use, I'm debating between
1991ish
-get to use early 90s rap aesthetic, with sega genesis consoles and aerobics instructor fashion
or the pandemic era
-open playground, I can put masks on unimportant characters etc.

I'm debating whether to use Erika Eleniak (1990 version) or Jessica biel (2001 version) as the model for the girl who gets fucked. What I know for sure, is the story starts out with hoodlum going door to door shoveling know, and ends with him balls deep in a pawg, in an unfinished basement.

It's garbage if you intend to do scrolling comics

-It accepts the webtoon format, but most people using that platform don't like that format to begin with.
-I don't know why, but you have to like a chapter before leaving a comment. Also, it's not possible to simply leave a comment from it's app, so people usually don't bother. This means, even less comments than on webtoon.
-The app is shit, you can't get a single notification whenever someone updates, you have to check it out manually. So people will forget you even exist very often.
-No revenue, outside of the monthly awards.
-You can't win the monthly awards with scrolling comics as far as I know.

I've been working on a webtoon for over a year now, decided to play it safe with romcom BL shittery for my first go. I'd just like to know a few things from anons who have more experience working with the webtoon site specifically. I know they censor content on their platform, but do they give you shit if you post NSFW on other sites? Also, do they give some kind of written contract if you manage to get a Webtoon Original? How is the experience overall when it comes to working with them?

>>7159478
Webtoons and Tapas outright encourage you to state "hey, the uncensored versions are available elsewhere," or to say "you can get it privately as a subscription reward" etc etc etc. Just dont mention the competition's name directly, they may get you for that. It's a stupid game, but with payment processor rules and S. Korean laws as they are, it's where we're at.

Latest page I did. I don't dislike it but of course it was better in my mind.

Just upload your comic everywhere you can even the small shitty platforms no one reads on AND manage your own website and become a micro influencer on tiktok instagram and youtube twitter and go viral a couple hundred of times on each site by religiously keeping up with each trend and participate in art shares with other creators and practice your skills everyday while updating weekly to keep reader retention and you will my friend will have about 9 or 10 new readers

would it be shitty to change your lineart brush after already being a few chapters deep

>>7167349
Aslong as you haven’t established much of the story I think it’s fine, but if you have then I think it would just take people out of it and become distracting if you changed it.

>>7164266
Hey thank you my friend! I appreciate the kind words! Hope to get more of it out as soon as I’m able!

>>7167762
I'm 4 episodes deep so far, working on the 5th. It's my first webcomic so I'm not too worried about it looking a little off. I just wanna figure out what's gonna be effective. Tops how it looks now. Bottom is the brush I was thinking of switching to for the lineart. It's easier to work with but I'm also still attached to the fuzzy pencil brush despite realizing how hard it is to work with.

>>7167349
>>7167837
if it makes it easier for you then that's all that really matters. the line art change is minor but honestly as long as you're not drastically changing your entire art style then nobody's going to care what changes you make, and they especially won't care on a site like webtoons where most people just want something to read regardless of its quality because its all free anyway.

>>7167850
Thanks anon, I might play around with it on this next chapter to see if it streamlines the process a bit. Worse comes to worse I switch back, not like I have a ton of readers anyway

>>7167349
Most people don't care because they tend to read webtoons while they are on the bus, taking a work poo, etc. People for the most part don't go crazy over those kind of minute details.

>>7167850
This

is it wise to make a one shot webtoon before making a longer webtoon series?

Would it be retarded to make a regular comic and upload it on webtoon? Webtoon is currently the most popular website for uploading comics and I don't know where else to go

>>7168802
it'd be even wiser to start with just one conversation or scene, and then go into a one shot, and then go into a larger series.

>>7168823
there's nothing wrong with posting on webtoons but you should definitely not just post it there. go to any site you can and be fine with it not getting as much attention on those other places because webtoons can delete your comic whenever they want with no warning, and then you'd have lost your entire audience if you only posted there.
the op has other non-webtoons comics hosting places, but if you want something more personal then comicfury has a toggleable traditional/scroll view, and there's also rarebit if you want to host it on your own website (with neocities if you want to do it for free).

>>7168823
Some anons do. Hell, a lot of anons on /mmg/ post their conventional comics on webtoon sites since there's so few options for hosting stuff where there's a built-in audience. Just don't expect to get the same kind of traction that you'd necessarily want compared to making a webtoon.

>>7168823
it is retarded, but we're all retarded together anon

Not sure if i posted these pages before. It's Starlight Springs, NV, the gas station Penny works at, and her coworker. I had a ton of pinup commissions so couldn't start working on it til now. The baby is sleeping longer so I'm going to be able to get back on the comics grind

- Pixiv
- Whatever social you want
- Your own site, but good luck moving traffic there

I do not understand how the webtoons general is more dead than /mmg/, which on paper is focused more on longer chapters per release. You would think the shorter nature of webtoon chapters would generate faster posting.

>>7179902
webtoons are new to the west and most are fucking dogshit so people on an anime/manga-focused website aren't going to be convinced that it's worth it to read webtoons over manga, let alone dedicate time to making them.

I'd say this is generally true, but not universally true.

There is 1 webtoon originals in black and white. It's "Nocturne", a horror anthology. It's a bunch of horror 1 shots by the same author ( it's clearly inspired by junji ito to some extent).

>>7184908
Here's an art sample for reference.

>>7184908
>>7184919
pic related may have been from the canvas version of the story.

Anyways, i think the reason nocturne works in black and white is because of the style of horror it is going for.

>>7184914
>Do you guys think that picrel will be a real competition to Webtoons?

i have no idea. I wonder how their censorship rules will be compared to the korean sites.

>>7184903
I think this is the second or third, it's a pretty new general. And it's supposed to be about making your own, but there aren't many people here so yeah you could bump it with some other stuff if you want.

>>7184908
True, but people get a lot more picky when you're not an original being promoted by Webtoons. Another comic that got big was I'm the Grim Reaper and that was in black and white to start, but then changed to color when it was picked up so even the company seems pretty against it.

>>7184914
It could, but Webtoons audience often want to see things that are specifically Korean, in the same way /a/ only wants to see things specifically Japanese. I think it might be able to win weebs over because of name recognition, but they're already fine with reading manga as is so that seems unnecessary, so the main audience would probably just be phone-addicted kids who don't want to zoom in when they read manga on their phones.

>>7184931

I can think of at least one other black & white original, but for the most part I would agree that making your comic in color is the best idea, unless you have a strong reason to keep it black and white.

I think the good thing about infinite scrolling style webcomics that webtoons popularized is that even on desktop it allows for different artistic techniques.

Like with the comic you mentioend im the grim reaper you would sometimes see stuff like vertical panomaras in the comic

>>7184943

This is another black & white webtoon. But its also very simple and minimalist art. It's by no means the usual stuff youd see on webtoons but its relatively popular for something of its kind.

>JUMP TOON is not only a reading platform currently featuring 28 popular titles in a vertically scrolling format and new stories, JUMP TOON is also a creation platform with Shueisha also releasing JUMP TOON NEXT! a creation platform for anyone to upload and enjoy comics from yet undiscovered talent.
Jump is not satisfied with Jump+? They're literally copying the webtoons business model.

>>7184975
Yes, but compared to Korean Webtoons it's essentially irrelevant. Lore Olympus is the biggest western Webtoon original and even it "only" has 1 billion views, compared to Solo Leveling, God of High School, Tower of God, and Lookism, which each have 10+ billion views on Naver alone (not counting reuploads on other sites).
For comparison, ItGR only has 150 million views and isn't reuploaded anywhere else I can see.

>Another comic that got big was I'm the Grim Reaper and that was in black and white to start, but then changed to color when it was picked up so even the company seems pretty against it.

I swear she said years ago on her twitter this was a personal choice she made because she didn't want to work less than her coworkers, but I can't find that tweet again so maybe I'm just crazy

are webtoon artists actually drawing the same fucking head in the same fucking angle hundreds of times or are they copy pasting?

>>7187517
>How do we know shes american?
Well, she's only gone to American conventions hasn't she? But yeah either way the point's made

>>7188106
It could be true, but in a stream on making ItGR on her YouTube she says she uses a ton of shortcuts to speed up the process so that sounds pretty contradictory.

>>7188240

For most webtoons, the answer is somewhere inbetween.
For a lot webtoons, and i mean A LOT OF THEM, they use the 3d modelling tools that come with clip studio paint. They have this 3d character models that they can trace over that comes with CSP. They also use stock 3d backgrounds from CSP a lot. You'll notice that if you look at the background in most webtoons, some objects will look a little low poly.
Some comics do stuff a little like copy pasting. The Lookism webtoon tends to trace or copy paste earlier scenes in the webtoon a lot. I'm not sure how much of this is laziness, and how much of this is intentional self reference. There are times when its clearly the latter, like when one character is imitating the fighting moves of another.

But with that said, some webtoons artists don't use those shortcuts and actually are drawing the same head over and over. I don't think its common, but I can give a few examples.

>>7184903

>>7184931
>I think this is the second or third, it's a pretty new general. And it's supposed to be about making your own, but there aren't many people here so yeah you could bump it with some other stuff if you want.

https://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/lone/list?title_no=1929
Lone is one that has nice art, if solely for the fact that it doesn't blatantly using 3d models as a crutch. The art style at the start is a little stronger than later on in my personal opinion and uses a little more texture. Later on it loses that, but its still good.

The blurb of the webtoon is:

>Born without magic in a world full of witches, Lone is determined to claw her way to the top of wizarding school if it kills her -- and it just well might! After a deal with the devil improves her magical aptitude and leaves her with a parasitic demon lord stuck to her forehead, Lone's dream is finally within reach. Now she just has to survive long enough to graduate high school...and help Lord Beelxaroth retake his rightful throne as King of Hell so that he'll finally get out of her hair.


It's not my favorite, but I like reading it. The only thing is that I don't remember much of the story, so I have to reread it.

>>7190052
>The only thing is that I don't remember much of the story, so I have to reread it.


Here's another one where this happened to me. The thing is that if you forget to read some webtoons for a while that isn't totally generic, you'll forget most of what happened and have to start against from the beginning. The comic is finished, but I have to read it from the start again, because I didn't keep up.

https://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/four-leaf/list?title_no=1454

The start of the comic is a bit surreal, playing with the question of what is real and what is a dream. The blurb doesn't really help convey whats going on there, so i didn't post it.

(No the title of the comic has no relationship to 4chan, thats pure coincidence).

>>7187517
>How do we know shes american?
She said so in 2022 on Twitter besides if you watch her streams then you'll notice her mutt accent.

>>7190586
So she's a different type of asian rather rather than korean. Does that make a difference to them?

Would they want to read a comic by a korean-american?

>>7123638
Do we have a thread for traditional webcomics, or should we just talk about them here too?

>>7190746
>Does that make a difference to them?
They don't give a shit if you're Asian or not.
The most popular webtoon on the English side's created by a white woman from Kiwiland and she's published in the Korean side of webtoons.

/hyw/ was a horrible general on /co/ that shat itself and died recently because they were all a bunch of untalented autistic attentionwhores who couldn't go 5 seconds without starting drama with each other instead of improving their skills, they also had a discord (lmao) and all the drama from there would always spill into the general, not to mention the fact that actual critique was pretty much non existent no matter how blatantly shitty someone's comic was, everyone got complimentary headpats. Near the end I think one artist in particular singlehandedly shitposted and annoyed everyone so hard it killed the entire general or something but I forget his name and he was by no means the main reaspn why the general died but he may have been the killing blow it needed. It was fun to watch /hyw/ crash and burn from a distance but it's over now, they should be working at Target,
or something, they shouldn't be trying to infest a board with actually talented and dedicated people trying to get shit done.

>>7191731

I'm telling you to post your work because this is a fucking critique board you literal drooling retard. Post your fucking work if you're going to so brazenly disparage someone who actually has a comic to show or shut the fuck up and kill yourself.
Don't complain about /hyw/ drama when you're the one bringing drama up in a thread that has nothing to do with it and you're only here to put down others with nothing for them to work off of and get better.

Where is everyone in their current webtoon making now? How far along are you percentage-wise?

>>7191793
Well I've just written 7 out of 12 of the chapters so I'm pretty close to almost starting soon...
Thankfully, I've already done the character model sheets and should be able to get started on the thumbnailing right after I get some backgrounds out of the way.

I'd say I'm like 60% of the way before I get to my first chapter, but since you need to have 3 chapters before starting, it's probably more like 30% before I can start putting it anywhere.

>>7191810
How long is each chapter gonna be?

It's kind of hard to say since it's not really a typical webtoon and is more like a phone-centric webcomic that scrolls, but it's something like ~20 pages with each page having 3-6 panels, so I guess on average 70-80 panels per chapter?

>>7191793
I don't think I'll be able to deliver the chapter by tomorrow as I should, I have to finish a couple of things with lineart and then start coloring.

But coloring is the easiest part, so maybe it'll be done by sunday.

>>7191566
well if not from me other people will definitely give feedback here lol

It's because of seething autists like you who can't ignore le mean comments that the general went to shit to begin with, don't ever forget that.

>>7193898
I'm reading the link you posted and I'm frankly at a loss at how they're burning so much money. At the end of the day its fucking webtoons. We're not trying to develop computers or cars here. They're getting tons of K-Drama tie-ins. The hell is burning the cash?

How? Their readers hate how greed they're right now, just imagine how much worse they can get.

>>7193941
Its so ridiculous. Barring the few contracted artists, everyone else is literally giving you their work for free. FOR FREE. Hosting commercially aint that expensive, especially since they force everyone to upload at a smaller size!

>>7193930
>They're getting tons of K-Drama tie-ins
>The hell is burning the cash?
>K-Drama tie-ins
That. The "surprising" turnover of webtoons into K-Dramas and more recently anime is because they're paying the studios far more than they can afford for adaptations that they otherwise wouldn't make just to get people back into reading on webtoons, which is why they're seemingly so stingy for a multi-billion dollar company.
Like, say what you will about YouTube, but they have a million and one features that most other sites don't in terms of video hosting and they are clearly far better than any alternative. Webtoons on the other hand is literally nerfed Tapas, which is 1/10th as popular but at least lets all creators use simple things like gifs and not needing to scroll through a comic to read the comments, and has its own forum and so on.

They spend this much and expect it to come back to them so they can be the Korean WSJ, but even the big names like Lookism aren't close to pulling Kagurabachi numbers so it's not working out financially. At this point what else do they have but the fact that everyone calls infinite canvas vertical comics Webtoons? I'm guessing the IPO is just a last ditch effort to make it profitable, like with reddit just a few weeks ago.

>>7193949
>Hosting commercially aint that expensive
They have 24 million artists and almost 170 million monthly readers. That shit ain't cheap.

That's the funniest shit, almost everyone on the Tapas forum say that Tapas readership is 10% of Webtoons size and turns out they're right.

Tapas will never reach Webtoons size anon, that percentage growth is not something that happens all the time.
Webtoons is -1% right now but they're +400% on special dates while tapas never reach +50% because they're niche. Which is a shame because Tapas is actually better than Webtoons.

if you are gonna post the merchant at least post a korean version so that it would make a little sense in this context.

>>7194037
Webtoons straight up takes ownership of your work.
Tapas is less bad. There's some legal word salads for them using your stuff for promotion, but they claim your stuff is yours. Keep your eyes peeled and your 1911 loaded.

>>7194364
Unfortunately, Tapas is shit too. This creator was Nickelodeon'd out of their work because of Kakao bullshit a year ago and now they've lost the IP forever.

Dont get me wrong, these sites can be shady.
But they can't magically take away your rights, you have to sign of the exclusivity employment or whatever contracts to become an a original series for their sites.

>>7194550
Oh yeah I assumed that was implied but sure I should've specified it's only for originals/people who sign the contracts. Otherwise series that aren't exclusive like Sarah Andersen and Heartstopper definitely wouldn't risk posting on WT or Tapas.

>>7194364
You mean picrel?

>>7194650
Nevermind

>>7194618

I too have seen that only Original webtoon authors complain.
I think it's a question that only concerns the Originals. For us Canvas I don't think there are any rights problems.

But I'm ESL maybe I'm wrong, let me know.

yay now I can create more content so the naver overlords can make more money

>>7198080
"AI" and "high quality content" are not synonyms.

>>7195955
>thank you :)
You're welcome :D and your art is legit cool anon.
I love the art style and use of colors.

>>7198080
>You draw a character once and the AI tool convert it into 3d then another AI tool convert it back to 2d so you can move your drawing instead of drawing it over and over again.
A naive person would think that they're doing it so the creators can have a break and enjoy life but in reality they're doing that so creators will pump out extremely long chapters and multiple webtoons at the same time so the company can finally be profitable.

we're gonna make it fellas

New cosmic crush pages. I did these 4 pages as the intro with an opening narration. It's a Penny dream sequence, that's not how she actually meets Zag

>>7205308
In the age of short attention spans, I thought it would be better to start the comic this way with Penny's fantasy of meeting an alien rather than the penny as a child watching Zim flashback. Those pages will come after this part.

Penny at home, working on her conspiracy website

>>7205317
Omeow why is Penny's open eye in the left panel so heavily shaded compared to the other panels? Is she wearing eyeliner or something?

>>7205317
I'd like your opinions on this- would it be best to wait and release the first chapter as my original planned one shot script, so readers get the full intro at once, or would it be good to split in to 3 6-7 page chapters for webtoon? I'm planning on releasing the whole thing at once on manga websites, but I know webtoon generally has shorter chapters.

>>7205322
I penciled it badly and when I ink it, it won't be that heavy. She does wear emo eyeliner though and also has dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep

>>7205323
imo split them up.
if you reformat the panels of 6 normal pages to be webtoons-style one panel per page, then with an average of 4 or 5 panels per page normally, stretching them out would be something like 24-30 webtoons panels which is what the site recommends for canvas series' anyway (as long as you're uploading weekly), and if you're just posting them as whole pages with no formatting changes, then the biggest issue would be the text being a bit small, but there are a few webtoons out already that make little to no changes to their pages and still have an active readership on webtoons like heartstopper.

>>7205323
Split it up. Gotta get those zoom zooms reading.

how do people draw on paper then fix it up digitally? isn’t that pretty much going over the whole page twice?

bumb

>>7205839
I draw, I ink, I scan, I clean up the linework on photoshop, simple as. Usually I don't have to do that many digital changes to the linework, only if I mess up inking or notice something looks really bad after I scan it.

>>7205839
Draw every character individually.
Tune scanner and then filter off most dirt.
Still push bunches of lines around because scanner sees things differently.
Composit everything in panels.
t. can't draw

>no one reads my comic
Webtoons algorithm is a joke, if you want readers you have to promote your stuff on social media or become friends with the gals curating the canvas side of WT.

>>7208546
I know, I've been doing this for a while. I was being hyperbolic but I do have a small group of readers and participate in collabs and such, but still feel down about readership sometimes. It happens

>>7208546
Also if you're an asian woman you get special privilege.

>>7203918
Post you're comic i will read it anon

>>7208117
Ah, you just do line art on paper.. That probably is smarter than doing lines and color on paper
>>7208378
Coot sheep

Is that translation correct? Because if it's then Webtoons can go fuck themselves.

>participate in collabs
That is bullshit, I used to do it in 2021 and never went anywhere, it's barely better than follow for follow with other creators.
What you really need is to become an influencer/clown and do everything for virality.

Most comic contest are like this so i dont see the project. Just don't submit your magnum opus and you will be good to go.

>Ah, you just do line art on paper.. That probably is smarter than doing lines and color on paper
I've done that in the past but each page takes much longer if you do.

>>7210919
well, maybe for you they were bullshit, but it's been consistently the best way for me to grow. I don't know why you're telling me these things like I don't know them already

>>7210918
eh, atp everyone knows this is what they do. I think they do give you a chance to reject winning if you don't want to go through with losing your ip
