>>2835 I'm glad to see the thread still exist. Two goddamn years after, I'm still working on these on and off. I think I'll stop at a hundred and then start thinking of a serialized story. >>7074 >>7130 I really like these ideas. I have remained unclear about the reaction humans have towards her, except for people already close to her. The possibilities are still very open.

>>23994 I remember you, you were on the /v/ drawthreads making monster titties with peculiar heads I like you

>>23994 Anon.. Are you drawing that stuff in MSpaint?

>>24000 Yes.

>>24001 While I appreciate your style, why do you torture yourself like that? Do you know there are more advanced painting programs that are free or cost barely anything?

>>24038 I appreciate its simplicity and the fact that it opens near instantly on my toaster. I use other painting programs to do actual paintings.

>>24001 Very nice work, I love the style.

I learned that the epub format for e-readers exists and 8chan lets you upload it, so have some story to go along with these character cards >>21833 Also, a pdf for anyone who would rather have that format. I've thought of turning this story into a comic but I can't draw, and it's too long. If I hired anyone their hand would fall off halfway through one chapter. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. It could also work as live action TV but the fx budget would be through the roof.

>>24169 I didn't read anything and jumped straight to the end. I appreciate the honesty but why?

>>24169 >maybe anons like pdf instead No. Good God no. I fucking hate pdf. And every asshole who uploads a pdf should be shot in the dick and left to bleed out in a ditch. With fire ants. Fucking pdf sucks the absolute most ass. Can't format it into readability unless your using a fucking tablet the same dimensions as the goddamn book it was scanned from. And what kind of cunt uploads a 100-300 mb file for a fucking book when a epub or mobi will clock in at 1mb on almost any fucking book. Fuck pdf so goddamn hard. I swear if I find one more badly scanned piece of shit pdf file of a book I actually want I'm gonna freak the fuck out.

>>24265 >And what kind of cunt uploads a 100-300 mb file for a fucking book when a epub or mobi will clock in at 1mb on almost any fucking book. Will epub and mobi clock that small if the entire thing is just a collection of scanned pages? >inb4 Why the fuck would you scan the pages? Because not all books have been meticulously transcribed.

>>24268 No. I'm guessing it doesn't even have pictures in the file. Just straight text. Hence the massive file size difference. And the vast majority of books have. I would accept a pdf all the way up to 2010. But come the fuck on already.

What's a good site to upload comics? One for regular action comics, hopefully with no ads, easy to navigate and organized and one for my loli doujins.

>>26041 Everybody seems to aim for either Tapas or Webtoons. Though I know of one or two webcomics that upload to MangaDex, a site geared towards scanalations. >loli doujins. Outside of Pixiv and the land of the Panda (exhentai), very few places seem keen on hosting porn, loli or not.

>>26073 Maybe I will have to host my own site. Thanks though.

>>23774 >Less thinking more doing. Keep your projects short and small until you can figure out the exact style you want a have a sense of how much time it takes you to do things. Ain't that the truth. I just have to come up with a bunch of small scale projects. I am in a typical beginner trap of having a big ideas and thinking I am not good enough yet to draw a comic. I need to get out of that hole and either come up with some short, few panel comics to begin with. That or break my current ideas into small, self-contained episodes of four panel strips. >>26073 Thanks, that's a very good video. >>26041 >>26073 >>26078 Self-hosted site is the way to go for the most freedom, but keep in mind that if your comic is too edgy google might not show your site in the results. Even oglaf is getting that treatment. Just something to keep in mind. Publishing a censored version of your comic on mainstream platforms and uncensored one on another is one way to get around that.

>>24199 > I didn't read anything and jumped straight to the end. I appreciate the honesty but why? Autism, giving credit where it's due, keeping track of the references so I don't forget, and for readers to pat themselves on the back for recognizing the references. >>24265 > And what kind of cunt uploads a 100-300 mb file for a fucking book when a epub or mobi will clock in at 1mb on almost any fucking book. That's Google's interns scanning the book as jpeg pictures of its pages and going on to the next book since that is faster than converting it to text and then manually checking over the text to make sure it is accurate. We should be grateful that it is in an electronic format at all, and hopefully someone who cares about the book and has the technical know-how will be able to create a smaller version.

>>2170 Hey bud, what size paper you using, because I use A4 right now and it fucking hurts like a motherfucker, I over work hard, and put in more information and panels than I want.

Fired up OpenToonz for the first time. Looks like I've got to do a bit of reading about proper workflow in animation and watch a few tutorials.

>>26360 Alright, I think I have the basics of the basics down. Criticism is welcome.

>>26219 By the fraying of the pencil lines I'd say A4, yes. For me, inking is a pain in the ass because it's hard to get the line width right and have smooth, clear strokes. How much better are inking pens like micron pens compared to traditional feather pens?

>>26363 The bouncing is pretty good, the flash at the beginning is a nice touch. After that, I'll be overly critical. Sorry. At the start where the ball is misshapen and moving slowly to the left, there is a black arc on it. It looks like the ball is squeezing through a hole, but it took me some time to figure that out. It should be easier to tell what's going on. So the drawing is not conveying what it is supposed to be. The ball shaking after that is possibly the worst drawn part of the animation. The frames are messy non-circles that are not misformed to show a physical effect, but simply misformed. This can imply chaotic behavior, but here it just looks messy. The ball shakes and deforms while it hovers in place. This is not as messy as the last part, but it's still messy. When the ball hits the the right wall there is a frame where it shaped like a half-oval. It is supposed to be distorted from hitting the wall, but it looks off to me. Just after that, the ball is drawn straight horizontally for a frame. It should be at the angle that it is coming off the wall. Make these two frames look like they lead from one into the other and it will look better. It looks like it hits some object in midair that is invisible and bounces off of that. If that is intended, great. You can add the object to the next version of the animation.

>>26367 Anon you're reddit spacing again.

>>26363 >animated png

>>26435 chad format

>>26586 It's just animated GIF grafted onto PNG. By Mozilla.

>>26364 Inking is ironically less of a pain in the ass than using pencil, I think I might need to buy graphite sticks instead because I have found chalk unironically puts less stress on my hand.

>>26364 >>26599 It heavily depends on the paper, ink and the pen. You can have a nice paper, but shitty ink that fucks your strokes or makes your pen grip too hard and wobble. Don't always blame yourself for that. Watercolour and inking are one of the few mediums there the tools greatly impact the work

>>421 I've purchased like 8 of these fucking things now. I've long since replaced the m73 with an m700q or something running at over 3ghz with kodi and a Rii k25 remote (ignore the j25) and an older Ubuntu instead of the PS3. I also bought a couple of these little computers with win10 on them for my mom and little brother at less than 100USD a pop, she wanted a new computer for streaming and internet shit with a budget of 800 so this was good. So far as a media box this has been a vast improvement with few issues. The remote is comfortable and the IR cloning feature for some buttons allows me to sit at the couch, turn on the TV it's hooked to and immediately start cruising the media box as it only sleeps video after a time of inactivity. Advantages over the PS3 Streaming Solution: >don't have to wait for buffering when I want to go forward or back on a video >can run schedueld youtube-dl scripts to rip youtube channels for most recent vids on a nightly basis for shit like itsagundam, clownfish and Mandalore Gaming and jsut watch them on my couch with a remote and without ads or buffering >other shit Issues I have run into: >Ubuntu had to roll back to an older version because newer versions do not support my hardware properly any more >Kodi because Ubuntu is an older version I have had to manually update Kodi installers instead of just using the ez app manager >some formats On occasion for reasons I don't understand running 2-5 episodes of a certain file format will freeze up the box and require me to manually restart it, it's behind the TV so only the inconvenience of getting up and walking to the tv to hold a power button and then press it again. I think it was related to MKV loosely. Setup has turned out pretty sweet for cheap

>>34194 oh and it can run stuff off externals no problem, it's like cruising old Netflix or something like that with a remote

>>34194 fuck I'm stupid some times

>>26383 >making a space between arguments is reddit spacing Are you fucking dense? That's just a grammatically flow structure

>>34201 >That's just a grammatically flow structure It is mostly considered reddit spacing unless you're writing a poem. Do you have a problem reading lines of text properly? Anyone here still doing personal projects?

Basically, alien girl with "the Thing"-like powers who pirates anime and thinks humans are like that and comes to Earth. Wacky adventures ensues

>>34375 >You can tell if someone is the Thing or not by noticing if they're wearing Japanese schoolgirl clothes Brilliant!

>>34376 Probably could have changed the cover in hindsight, but that was like a few years back
