Part 2 (Comics)

Research Phase

When creating comics, it’s important to absorb as much material as you can before hand. This will introduce you to a plethora of writing styles, panel-techniques, compositions, and other techniques that others have already figured out. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel! I read up on IDW comics (mainly the newest Sonic, as well as the MLP Comics) which provides a more cartoon-like yet dynamic styles of art. There’s also a plethora of webtoons to read, which in themselves have a more ‘manga/anime’ style when it comes to panels and art styles, but there are many many more kinds of comics to explore. Absorbing this, and seeing how these styles can be played with can give you an edge in comic creation.

Here is a webtoon that I find extremely helpful when learning about intelligent panel design and blending different art-styles.

Writing Phase

On god, just open up word...It’s so much easier to make a comic when you’ve written it down first. I know it’s tempting to just jump into drawing, but it took me years to realize how much time that eats up, and we don’t have that long on this earth. You want a solid idea of your comic(esp. dialogue) before you begin sketching things out. It may take some getting used to, but hey it’s worth it!

Sketching Phase

This is where the fun begins. If you’re using SAI, which is pretty difficult to make panels in, you can simply opt for a single file that is lengthy, resulting in sequential, equally sized images that you can scroll through(like a webtoon). Be sure not to have a bunch of face shots, however, as that can get boring quickly. Focus on playing with angles, and also be sure to always follow the 180 rule! (note: you can make changes during the sketch phase to your script where needed) 

Sketching for Comics

Lineart/color Phase

My comics are always in greyscale, so depending on your art style, you’ll have to reference some tutorials on youtube to get your desired effect. However, I do advise that you ALWAYS keep your panels, line art, and colors on separate layers to avoid any collateral damage. 

Posting to Your Blog!

Be sure to post each comic with a tag that makes them easier to find, and keep them organized. You should also add a link to each comic to your pinned post. The less people have to dig, the more your comics will be seen.

Hello! I've gotten my first Egg Eater, who's been nicknamed "Blazend", from the words Blaze and End! He was once an average Nature coatl, but then, of course, egg eating happened, with him having a preference for fire eggs, thus sparking his nickname! By now, he's forgotten his original name...

Hypergryph: This man. He's burning... idk if it was intentional but Blazend's tert crackle is pretty clever! Like the Fire Egg magic is overtaking the nature magic, resulting in a burning, scorching leaf pattern. I do wonder the reasons he forgot his name (perhaps a theme about identity? It would fit. Fire burning, destroying what once was until only ashes remain. Or perhaps it's transformative, creating something entirely new. I'm not sure, but I love the implications!)

Thank you for the lovely submission! He's sizzlin'!

Is Chirin the kind of prince who accidentally or purposely disobeys his father? Does he try catching bits of what's going on in the other councils? Also speaking of which, how close is he with Lord Talos?

He does a little sneaky sneak sometimes.

Chirin is isn't the rebellious type, curiosity just gets the better of him sometimes...well ok, most of the time. It's ok to break a rule if it's not hurting anyone, right?

He's close with his parents, and hasn't truly grasped what it is they do, or how important they actually are. When Chirin sees Lord Talos, he doesn't see a King. He just sees his Dad.
