>>7952148
>quick/low effort
The ugly 3D assets aren't there because it is low effort. They are there because of how long it takes to draw a fucking panel, especially with colors. The mainstream ones these days are literally made by studios of Koreans, so multiple people are working to make that many vertical strips on a weekly basis.

Also, even though the entry barrier is lower, it has increased with the popularity of the medium.

A sugestion: I think you can use more light and shadows and play more with the backgrounds. Here some quick example

>>7952338
In my original, I had it drawn with an all-white background because the plot has them close to one of those magical founts that gets turned on, and I was trying to replicate all that light bouncing around everywhere in the courtyard they're in. On the other hand, I REALLY like yours due to the light play as you mentioned.
I need to think about this, see if there is some kind of happy compromise I can justify, otherwise I might switch to your version simply for rule of cool.

Yo I complimented the linework in the last thread but bro you botched my bitch's boots my G. Like even if your going for Megaman- sized boots at least add some care into the detail. Like I thought you were going for generic snow boots but if your gonna add more detail add the detail. Like draw the actual soles of the boots and have the laces do proper X overlaps. Or again if you dont want to put the effort into the detail just have the shoes like you had em in your earlier post >>7951418 and just have like two tones for the upper part and lower part of the shoe respectively

>>7952439
Nta but I think you just have a preference for shoes in particular or something

I dont recall ever stating where the character that I drew was from. Projecting your insecurities on me, anon?

File: winter_boot.jpg (80.3 KB)

>>7952449
Its not a preference bro, its just that devil anon went from something that looked fine and made it sloppy and I offered things to make it better as all. Like I cheat when I draw shoes on my characters too but I usually just omit details cause it looks cleaner.
Plus getting decent X lace marks is as easy as Shift+clicking with your brush(preferably a small sized one) to make some decent X's and draw over them slightly to get that hand made look

>>7952439
lmao I think you are barking up the wrong tree with this one lad.

File: power.png (185.6 KB)

I'm close to showing off the powers soon, and haven't defined the look of the soul energy. All I could really see in my head was a ki cursed energy derivative. But I feel like soul energy would be more fantastical/magical looking, like an angelic glow. I might need to reference shoujo stuff. I've done that before for earlier hildas powers but it was always some external element. never an infused kind of effect.

pic related is probably getting scrapped. I thought a different basic shaped tone for each character might be cool but id have to keep track of a lot of tones/assets over time.

>>7952439
yeah, will do. I haven't moved on to the background yet cause I feel like somethings could be better. the panel of dyson on the ground looks a little weird to be for example.

still going over the background and color, but do you think this looks better with or without the stronger outlines around the characters

File: line_crit.jpg (362.6 KB)

>>7952485
>>7952486
Impressive drawing man, with that in mind though if you are gonna go for "stronger" outlines make em STRONG bro
As for general direction it depends on what you want to focus on, but since you have a lot of detail going on with the background characters you keep those light in lineweight and make the more regular characters up the front with stronger lineweight.
However start with this drawing >>7952485
as your base cause again that shit is not heavy lineweight at all, which does work for the BG characters but not so much for the lead characters up front

File: line_crit1.jpg (199.3 KB)

Also fix the bitch's face. I made a quick edit on how it should look but the main problem was that you made her face too wide especially in that eyeline area that you didnt indent, like you had that indent on the guy character not sure why you didnt do it with the girl

>>7952488
Thanks that looks good, I'll give it a go and dial it up for the guy and girl at the front, and maybe add a bit more for the knife guy and mouse. Other 3 can just stay the same.

File: Screenshot_2026-05-29_04-42-26.png (175.8 KB)

>>7952439


>>7952534
you're doing pretty good. the thicker outlines do help. I like the poses, and faces.i think if you're going to color it, the hatching should ether be improved. or removed. some spots, like the faces have good hatching, places like the clothes don't. I think the inconsistency in the hatching quality is effecting the piece. A lot of areas have hatching lines that are too thick, and too spaced apart. I think starting there would help improve them.

Id also recommend adjusting the lineweight of the background a bit. those lines feel a little too think,

>>7952534
I really like the composition and designs. The weakest part of your art is how you draw wrinkles and folds, but I don't know how to do it myself so I can't suggest a better way.

Another thing I think you should do is add even MORE line weight variation. If you are consistent with the hatching it will also elevate the drawing, make the hatching look like whats under the guys neck or the peackcocks neck, but in the same direction everywhere on the drawing.

There are also places where solid black would add a lot, some of their clothes can be solid black, some of the animal people can have solidblack hair or accessories. Overall it looks interesting, it gives me the vibe like it can be a mainstream comic with the ideas it shows.

>>7952471
If you want to go with shapes, Madoka might be a good place to look.

>>7952538
thanks, I think some of the feedback you guys have given has helped me understand lineweight more, but yeah I'm still not the best with lineweight

>>7952539
Yeah I've always struggled with that shit, best thing to do right now would probably be for me to draw it minimally, and yeah also to make it consistent. Ill experiment with adding black after I do the color, see how it looks

and yeah hopefully the comics idea is interesting. Haven't seen many comics or media about living in modernity, i.e. having a masters and being unable to find any work, even at maccas, so wanna capture how some people in our generation feel.

Well, it's the end of the month. So what have you accomplished this month, anons? Any plans for June?

>>7952534
Something I didnt notice critiquing is that theres that hand thats reaching out to the main guy behind him. Unless you have a character that is just a hand like Thing from The Addams Family I assume its from the girl, if thats the case get rid of it.
Again when I was critiquing I didnt notice that hand, with that in mind the girl character was already giving "reaching out" vibes, but now that I notice the hand it seems too disconnected from the female character. Like even if its anatomically correct the way you placed the hand seems pasted on composition wise. The way you drew the girl already works the hand is distracting(plus it also connects with the BBW character with the background and makes it look like her hand so that fucks up the vibe too)

File: hand.png (89.1 KB)

Also you fucked up this guys hand and the way the flesh connects. You would also still be able to see his pinky finger in his hand position. I did a shitty MS Paint edit so you dont have to follow it one to one but it looks more "complete" this way

Right on, i'm in the same boat. Not doing a great job but I'm down to the last 3 of 20 pages. Rip to next month's output since life has decided i'm a little chud nomad.

I find it so difficult to create a shorter story first to practice creating and finishing a work first before tackling my main one. One reason is I'm wired to think of big worlds with a bunch of shit, however it is especially difficult to keep myself focused on a smaller, less meaningful work. I'm making the script, and I already feel like rushing everything, or it becomes a monster really fast.

>>7953132
Check the copypasta. I've gone through the links and once in a while one of those companies let you also submit your self-made stuff. Just note that a lot of them also have a lot of extra requirements. The ones that allow submissions at any time in my experience tend to be publishers who are always looking for more comics about minorities. Very specifically minorities. Not trying to start some kind of political screed, just literally my own experience going through the publishers.

But yeah, for it to work you need to draw the shoulder more raised cause it still looks disconnected. Or again you can just get rid of it. Less work and it would look fine.
Also while your at it get rid of the hatching on the bitch's other hand, it reads less as shading and more like skin folds

File: t89569.png (693.5 KB)

>>7953703
ok, so this is another quick and dirty.
and the same principles can transfer to colour.

if we are looking at araki works, he has a stronger contrast of page white to colour markers, i would under NO cicumstances think you should be using a feathery airbrush, you lose ALOT of appealing shape if you render light without hard edge.

In my example i have a SLIGHT gradient leading from the harsh highlight and from the darkest shadow, to try and imitate marker bleed, it almost apes the lights terminus before blending into the core shadow.

now: since you are hard moving over to colour now, i think you should be even more reserved with your hatching, dont muddy your core lines with errant hatching, define what should be pure black and purely graphical, then let mid tones of colours convey atmosphere and lighting.

last point. if you are colour picking from movies, stop.
or find better colour graded movies. "cinematic" isnt the 5x5 pixel of a scene from memento, its the whole shot, get a scene you like take it into csp or photoshop and posterize it, if it doesnt have a a strong value range, its mosly likely badly lit.

More importantly what makes something cinematic isnt its colour, its how its lit. film and photography are about light, which is additive, we are working the opposite, a movie scene is black until its lit, a paper canvas is white until its drawn over. preserve your white.

>>7953800
Thanks, as usual looks amazing. Im inking some other pages now, so I'll reduce some of my excessive hatching, and then give the colors a go

Looking over my references, I've probably been symbol drawing with color, cause alot of the stuff I've been referencing, is just hard edged, stuff, and the stuff that does have some softedged stuff, was never as excessive as mine.

Either way, im still learning color, so Ill leave it simple and good looking before imitating some of the beautiful stuff. Some studies would probably help though. Like I drew >>7953384
a while ago, but just the ink, so trying to understand the colors probably a good idea.

Btw whats your process for that shading? Is it doing the flats with a pen thats got a texture that mimics a marker, and then a soft brush in certain areas?

>>7953894
Could do black borders under the first two panels

>>7953353
Yeah, one page is difficult. My current plan is to sketch out 1 page, then a 2 page story the next day, then 4, then 8,(allowing for extra data one the number gets high enough) etc. until I get the rhythm of it down better.

>>7953894
a grainy filter could work. araki does that

>>7953894
Make the entire panel solid grey. No white in it at all.

>>7953894
I would agree with >>7953919 but also add that I feel you need a transition panel to show the flashback is occuring, unless you've already done it once prior. Audiences need to not just be spoonfed the plot but outright violently smacked with the spoon, otherwise you will end up inundated with questions like "what's happening? I'm confused, whats going on?"

A couple more pages done (for now). The stream was kept really sparsely rendered at first since I was afraid of messing it up, but it just looked way too empty. I ended up just going ham with the hatching instead. It's definitely way scarier and more committing doing heavy detail work with ink. It's just so easy to try out shit when working digitally.

A quick and dirty from me, because the hatching here goes too far and doesn't read well. Of course this can be tackled in more than a couple ways, but here are some simple ways. Lower left is using more flowing lines. Top right uses patches of hatching, both meant to indicate smooth flowing water. Lines of course concentrate the most around rocks, but you don't need to do much else than provide some details that the water is moving. This way, shadows like the one in the panel will be more distinct.

Also if you're ever worried about small mistakes, Neopiko line white whiteout pen really helps ease anxiety of having to fix things later.

>>7954137

>>7954168
I really appreciate the pointers. I initially tried something akin to your right example, but I didn't do a very good job down putting down those patches of hatching. So I might have gone a bit overboard in the end, overdoing it. I actually have a neopiko pen, but it seems to react with my ink, so I need to either get a different whiteout medium or a different ink. I just bought an ink refill, so probably gonna look for a different whiteout

How do I go from making art that just looks like lines, to making art that looks like something real?

The drawing above here is a drawing of a motorbike, and it looks like exactly that, a drawing. You see the lines.
But the drawing below FEELS like a motorbike, your first impression is not that it's a drawing but that it's a motorbike, there's a strong believability in it. It feels real.

I'm sure one part of it is just sheer art skill, but I feel like another part of it is some sort of mindset that I'm lacking. A way to look at what you're drawing and make the mental connection to draw what's real, rather than to draw just lines.

>>7954398
We're all familiar with the idea of symbol drawing, but that idea usually only applies to absolute beginners.
But what if the principle of symbol drawing can be applied even to more advanced artists?
Drawing not the actual wheel of a motorbike, but merely a torus shape in perspective and coloring it black.

>>7954398
don't think in terms of line, think in value and shape

Getting better at something is a process of learning where you falter and it has no end. Higher skills don't translate to immediate and effortless satisfaction, actually, it tends to only make you more aware of where you lack.

>>7954400
>But what if the principle of symbol drawing can be applied even to more advanced artists?

It does. You can balance the use of clean readable symbol art against realistic details and form to make very pleasing art too. For manga it's necessary to learn when to depict reality and when to use symbols. Good depictions of realistic places and objects give a sense of space and a world that feels like your characters really exist in. Sometimes you have to symbol draw in order for the art to be easy to understand at a glance. There's a time and place for both.

>>7954398
look at the tire, it doesnt really have an outline, its a mass of black shaped in a circle and has roughness as it spins and light where the suns hitting it, giving it depth. Same with the metal on the bike. I know what you mean and its the hardest thing in drawing but I started to see shapes as a collection of shadows more and it helped. You could even improve the motorcycle on top by removing a lot of the lineart and filling in a lot of the metal with pure black, then adding white highlight on the chrome.

>>7954738
That's a bit long, but it's not unheard of for /mmg/. We have at least another anon whose releases creep around that range. Possibly a very small handful of other anons as well if I'm not misremembering. This is, of course, assuming there isn't any extraneous fat in your storyboarding that could be cut.

>1) What is your comic gonna be called?
title pending, the CSP project I called "Pigman's Want" because I feel like it's a title a japanese guy who doesn't understand english very well would give

I've worked parallel to the creative industry for most of my adult life (fine art > graphic design > fashion design > illustration> currently culinary), I just dont see a niche for my specific hyper focused manga, its why i've not considered it in any way commercially, maybe when its all done, I can look at publishing or self publishing, but I dont see the audience in Australia.

>>7955519
Well yeah audience is 100% not in Australia, youd wanna submit to an american or euro publisher. But yeah none of us have read your whole manga full way through and your the only one who knows what your truely aiming for.

Im just saying, once its done, could be a good idea to submit it to image, darkhorse, and the multitude of other publishers, when your done as opposed to just putting it out there for free (which also has its benefits), but yeah your already aware of this

>>7955519
>dont see the audience in Australia
Is it that Aussies dont care about reading comics at all or the govt having a melty over subject matter? Asking as an outsider.

>>7955542
i'd say it comes down to scale, our population is only 28 million, compress that further into the few people that might be wanting to engage with your media, as for "govt having a melty" i haven't heard anything about that specifically, i do wonder how dingle deals with that aspect, especially with the new anti-porn/social media/age verification crackdown for teenages.

>>7955542
Im just saying that you wouldnt wanna distribute comics exclusively in australia, culturally we’re culturally extremely similar to the US and the rest of the anglosphere, itd be like exclusively distributing your comic just in Indiana.

So might as well go to the top and get is distributed everywhere. Some stories are more country specific tham others, but i dont think americans are gonna look at this cool story about a hot princess and cool knight and go “i dont understand this, its too foreign in concept to me”

I know you asked others, but I figured it'd be nice to look back at all the stuff leading to current.

I think I miss writing more comedically, but i also like how much design language has stayed with modern interpretations of old characters. wack it all started from doing the daily drawing prompts on /salt/. like the old grumpy landlord is the lord of the manor in current comic, my knight smokes because my chef smokes. etc.

Hey aussie knight anon, I wasn't trying to purposely ask others and ignore you, was just trying to ask generally is all. Did you always fixate on the two main characters (older guy, younger buxom girl) since day 1? Seems like those were always your muses.

>>7956353
only really for chef/knight who was a stand in for Marco Pierre white. my ORIGINAL first try at a hentai was about a younger guy in the 70's, and it would be influenced by the pornos of the time. boogie nights coded.

the girls are always blonde/platinum, when I was a fashion designer i had a model that walked for me and was just the most stunning chick i've ever worked with, she lives real rent free in my head. im not so invested in her buxomness, that was more a payoff to a single joke in the chef comic. "normally when they deliever the the milk its a boy on a bike not the whole cow"

i do like older guys though, they have enough time to be masters of something, and enough time to get jaded, two characteristics i like that can bounce of a bright eyed young kinda dumb hot bitch.

I remember in the last thread someone was confused on the trasition panels I had, and I told them they were pretty common in coro coro. It got me thinking, but do some magazines have style guides? Coro coro is really the only magazine where i've noticed these empty transition panels used, plus a lot of coro coro comics tend to have really bold and thick line work across their series. However, thick line work is mainly for comedy, and action series have thinner line work.

Aecast was created by pure accident. I was wandering around during a lunch break and was suddenly struck with a thought - "there's always depictions of mercenary/spec ops kill teams. what if there was a comic about mage kill squads instead set in the ancient past?" For some reason I pulled on that thought string and kept thinking about it. Things developed from there.
As for the art style, at the time I had barely picked up art altogether and so I didn't really know how I wanted to draw things. If you look at the girls and the concept art, it's obvious that they went through several revisions and style changes.

I always see jokes about how one of the essential steps to worldbuilding is to insert your fetish along with all your other stuff. I just like pretty girls, so I draw them. I don't think that's quite exactly a fetish.

>>7957778
It technically isn't but you might be glossing over which parts you inevitably prefer. I like legs so I can pretty much get away with it without anybody realizing if I draw the rest with just as much care.

>>7957752
I'd prefer people put in their other hobbies and interests rather than write a story about BIG BOOBIES.

>>7957823
Honestly I'm half tempted to report you and summon demons to your house just for posting this.

>>7957752
I hate fetishfags. There's nothing unique about your fetish. Thousands of better artists have it (and when it comes to pornshit art is all that matters). Attaching some lackluster story to it isn't going to make anyone care.

>>7957841
You sound big mad.

>>7957851
they asked a question asking for people's opinions and the other guy responded with his, are you inbred?

>>7957841
thats not even what im saying/ doing. ive made a story i care about and then just made some characters fit the fetish. never said im unique for it. I want people to be into fat chicks, else people will like certain characters less

make your girls fat

>>7957856
Why are you offended on his behalf?

>>7957835
Definitely don't summon a bunch of buxom succubus babes to my house!! I would really hate that!!

>>7957823
What if my manga is about my interests and hobbies AND it has big boobies in it?

>>7957910
We call that kino

it was 2 years ago, where I posted this thread about my autobiography comic of about of about 60 pages, I am now at 120 pages, so I will post the rest now

>>7957972
very cool, if your posting the whole thing, be sure to start a new thread, as if you post it here, the thread will go over the 300 reply limit and auto die

For what's worth this is one of the better pages so far I think

>>7957867
If I ever get into fetish art, sure.

>>7957867
why

Truth nuke: if slop like rent a girlfriend can be mainstream hits, the embracing of AI slop will be inevitable.

>>7957867
I'm not going to endorse harmful health practices.

>>7957867
Not only am I not a chubby chaser, it doesn't make sense for my story anyway.

>>7958274
Neither of those have anything to do with each other. AI is going to be embraced regardless both for its convenience and for unrelated national security reasons.

> I want people to be into fat chicks
based

Roundhouse kick and behead the CEO of inking. I basically already drew the picture twice, I shouldn't have to do it a third time.

>>7958274
Rent a Girlfriend is better drawn than anything /hyw/ has produced. While Ai will be taking from us and will only be in the hands of the government and ultra elite "for the good of the people" when it finally matures, Raj.

>/hyw/
wrong tab buddy

>>7958994
I was half asleep when made that thread but the point still applies to /mmg/

>>7959283
i just assumed you meant it was better than hyw, but not mmg. rent a girlfriend is good art, but we do have some great artists here too, alice anon and knight guy

>>7959283
Anon, are you seriously expecting random posters on a Polish dumpling-cooking board to be better at drawing comics than an actual professional mangaka? A mangaka with a series that has something like 430 chapters no less? I'm trying to get better day by day, but cmon man.

Oh mah gawd, storyboarding takes more time than I thought it would....

i'd be interested to know why you think that, no shade, if you think something is working.

my note is about panel ordering: Panel 1: establishing shot of shoe, panel 2 holding shoe to face, panel 3 reaching to pick up shoe.
the sequence is jumbled.

shot of shoe>reaches for shoe/sees shoe>holds shoe to face

>>7959347
storyboarding is 90% of the work, take your time.

>>7959430
Ah I mostly meant regarding the quality of the drawings, I guess I read too much Topolino as a kid and now my paneling sucks ass.
Thanks for the feedback though. Both the writer and I are beginners and we just kinda winged the storyboard. When I make my second comic I'll use what I learned from this one

>>7959347
What the other guy said. Storyboarding is the heart and soul of your work, everything else is just finishing touches

how important is the suspense from page turns? I'm looking over my next storyboard and noticed all the big panels are led into on the same page/2 page spread. should I adjust the storyboard to change this?

>>7959353
Bro why doesn't this nigga use line weight in his drawings still, like we told lil bro this a million times now

>>7959598
Can you please refrain from talking like a nigger
