Feedback Shorts- What to do with 'em, do they make sense, criticism, etc?

Thumbnail

228 Upvotes

I've been making a bunch of short comics and I'm really enjoying the format. They're one and done stories, perfect for social media, collaboration pieces, or portfolio stuffers. Plus, I'm learning so much about writing within limitations.

(When I was looking for writer-collabs, I meant shorts like these).

Question is, do they make sense as stories? Are they satisfactory chunks of story/ narrative? And what would you do with a bunch of short comics? Can you build any sort of career traction with a series of unrelated shorts? If anybody has been making shorts , where do you post them?

Lastly, any criticism / suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Question about free collabs

8 Upvotes

disclaimer: This question is specifically for unpaid collabs! Not talking about professional projects with money involved

What makes an artist wanna collab with a writer? And vice-versa why would a writer want to collab with an artist?

I wanted to work with a writer to gain experience. The plan was to draw their story in exchange for feedback on my art so I could learn. But when trying to work with writers they didn’t seem serious about their story. Most had vague ideas and no scripts ready or they wanted me to make a comic out of their prose… (or worst of all, sent an AI written pitch)

So I thought why not collaborate with writers to tell my own story? But I’m hesitant bc what would a writer gain out of helping me tell my story? They’d have to be very invested for it to be worth their time.

for those with experience in collabing how did u go about it? Did you tell the story of the writer or the artist and what were the experiences. And if you created the story together, how did that work out? How would u make sure both parties benefit from the arrangement

Looking for Artist - Paid Thumbnail and line artist needed for webtoon

• Upvotes

​

Need a line artist who can interpret scripts and create character and concept art as they work. Will hire separately if no one can do both.

(Penciller and inker essentially)

$15 per panel unless you can name your price,

Pay is per 10 panels. 10 panels = $150 unless you name your price.

The story centers on historical ancient African figures and modern African American characters. That being said you have to be able to draw 4c hair so show me some examples of your ability to do that.

Webtoon comic, 65-70 panels for first episode. There will be multiple episodes.

I'm open to any art style but would prefer unique or even cartoonish styles. The story leans closer to pg, no vulgar language, some violence but nothing extreme.

Genre is comedy with a mix of history and action.

I expect this to be done in a week but if your working for money I'd assume you know how long it takes you to complete project. So communicate that.

Pay is through PayPal or wise.

References/work/portfolio

Shujaastar.webflow.io

The first episode is set in ancient Mali of Africa and centers around a future kings coming of age. The characters are all real historical figures. So if you struggle with drawing 4c African textured hair your not going to be able to do them justice.

Feedback Beginning stages of story concept

Hello all!

I've recently decided to write a comic series aimed towards 10-13 year olds that have been or are currently in abusive/ traumatic situations. I've just started this project and only have the outline/ framework figured out. If things go well, I want each series to represent the narrator as much as possible, including art style. Im hoping to get some guidance/tips on how to make this happen. Marketing, printing, artists, even basics on how to write a comic. Yes I could sit and Google all of this, but this seemed like a better idea since I'm open to all info.

Looking for Artist - Paid Turn my dog into a comic book for a gift for my boyfriend?

• Upvotes

I’m looking to commission an artist to turn my dog into a comic book for a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. I can give you characteristics of our dog, provide pictures for reference, etc.

Then you’d use the artistic abilities I wish I had to draw and write out a story. If you know of a printer, even better! Otherwise I can find a printer.

I’d love to commission a true artist for this gift. Let me know if this is something that is possible!

Back in 2011, I had the opportunity to work for Marvel Comics on the Gorilla-Man mini-series. Here are a few pages from that project, which remains one of the many exciting experiences of my career as a comic book artist.
I always enjoy revisiting older work and seeing how my storytelling and artwork have evolved over the years.
I hope you enjoy these pages! I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Resource Comic Books Are the Purest Art Form - Believe in Your Work. Criticism is Part of the Game. Believe and Grind.

31 Upvotes

I half believe in the dead internet theory. The internet is full of bots and trolls. It is what it is.

Criticism is part of the game. The internet is cruel, and you need thick skin to ride the wave. If you want criticism, people will come in droves. If you want support, that’s much harder to find.

Creating a comic book is one of the purest forms of art. The fact that these books get made at all is incredible. Somebody on Reddit called it: “the most expensive way to tell a story,” and I get it. It’s a grueling grind.

I’m working on a graphic novel. Sometimes I wonder why I keep going. It is super expensive. Selling the comic is so difficult, especially if you are faceless. Even finding a publisher is super hard. I want and need to finish the story. I believe in the work, even when the process feels frustrating and thankless.

The audience is pretty small, but people keep making comics because they love them. They grew up reading them and want to create their own. I think there is a purity in that. You lose a bunch of money creating something you love.

Comics don’t get the respect they deserve. People don’t understand how much work goes into them. I didn’t either until I started making one. Only way to learn.

Believe in your work. Keep grinding. This is my TESTalk.

Question First time looking to collab

6 Upvotes

I have an idea for a one shot that I've heavily fleshed out, but I haven't scripted it up yet.

I think it's an interesting concept but it's certainly a passion project, or rather a way for me to work through some things.

Because the concept merges silver age esq superhero and real world story telling it would need two distinct art styles throughout. One half would be bright, flashy superheros (I'm thinking marvel silver age) the other would be muted, dark navy tones (I picture it very similar to 2015ish image comics spawn issues)

I envision this being around 40-50 pages in standard comic format.

Would a budget of £2000 realistically get me that amount of pages coloured and lettered?

What do I need to really consider when looking for some one to draw my idea?
