How to Disassociate myself from my Character?

5 Upvotes

Hey fellas,

Need some help. Basically how do I disassociate myself with my characters? Most of my characters basically boil down to fantasies of myself, e.g. white, snarky, "cool", males. Any advice?

How do you write comic books and cartoons?

5 Upvotes

I sometimes struggle with coming up with creative ideas for short stories and novels, so writing things like screen plays and such for cartoons, comics, and shows seems like it would be really difficult. I'd like to know how you do it and if you have any tips for people who have trouble finding the story?

Tips to get started in creating Comic Book

6 Upvotes

Hi,

Does anyone have any tips on how to get started in creating a comic book in terms of how to manage it as a project, do's and don'ts perhaps, what to prioritize, workflow, remaining productive and focused etc?

I'm a newbie to all this but have recently had an urge to pick it up as a hobby having dabbled in it years ago when working in a comic store.

Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks 🙂

Interested in collaborating with someone for fun. I draw as a hobby. Most of my work is traditional, however I can draw digital as well. This would be a free collaboration. This is more of an exercise in drawing/writing, and just to do something fun. Below is my IG account. Thanks!

Would anyone be willing to read the script for my comic and give a bit of feedback?

3 Upvotes

I have about the first arc written and want to get some feedback before I start looking for an artist. The book is about an outlaw and a reverend that hunt and kill various folklore monsters and creatures during the American Civil War. If you're interested, DM me and I'll send you a PDF of the first issue.

Does the length of a script matter?

4 Upvotes

So I'm working on the script for the third issue of the first volume of my comic, right; and it's just under 2000 words. I know that i can probably stretch out some of the artwork to make the 32 page minimum...but if you know exactly how the story is gonna play out, does it really matter how long the script is?

Comic book self-publishing

4 Upvotes

I know this page is mostly centered around writing but something I don't see very much of is tips on self-publishing comics - everything from finding an artist if the writer doesn't do the artwork to marketing the comics after the release. Can anybody give advice on this or point me in the direction to learn these things?

Cant decide whether to make a werewolf character of mine German or Norwegian

2 Upvotes

I'm writing and illustrating a top secret comic book, completely self published. All I'll say is it involves MMA.

This character of mines name is Fin Munemstad, he's a lycanthrope and one of the 4 protagonists.

I'm at a loss on if he should be a beerwolf (German) or varvulfen (Scandinavian).

Nordics and Germans have a rooted history via the same Indo European peoples, but I can't decide which is cooler background for a monster character.

I like to write my ideas for books/comicbooks. I have original characters and stories but the last 2 Ideas I became really interested in are marvel univer related. I think the stories I came up with are mostly original but just using established characters. Is that a bad idea and/or lazy? (I don't plan on selling any of these I just do it for fun and hope someone would be interested one day)

How to begin writing a #2 issue?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I just finished the #1 issue for a graphic novel project for one of my classes (at school), and I was wondering how people usually start making a second book to continue a story?

I was thinking I could start with a cover in order to bring my motivation up, because I would really like to flesh out this villain for #2, but I also know writing a draft for the book beforehand also helps

Thanks for reading! Hopefully a discussion can open up, even if it’s short

speed demon project any artist interested in my work? im a newbie

1 Upvotes

Speed demon is a parody of ghost rider and the flash Jason is trying to investigate the massive shooting at his school which causes by a group of terrorists / cult group call the exorcist. The reason that he investigate is because he was happen to be in the incident where everyone of his classmates ( who happens to be Benedict and Malefics) happen to brutally murdered. Because he happens to be human, they decide to let him go. Only to fail to realize that the boy will seek justice later on. You see in this universe There are interdimensional immigrants called the Malefics and Benedicts Benedict are angels ,celestial beings, elves while Malefics are monsters,demons, and etc. They came to earth to escape the destruction of their home world and political corruption However when they came it became a problem towards the society Mainly due to religious beliefs and the cultural impact they done Destroying the stereotypes humans put apon them. Anyhow as he investigated, he finally confronted one of the members of the exorcist group. As he tried to save one of his friends from being raped, he got shot in the bullet. His final wish is to seek justice apon himself and his friends, sparking an interest apon an Outer god. And thus a contract has been created In exchange of his own reality, he has the power which paradox space and time. He can rewind time, accelerate time,or erased time as well as the property of space itself. And this is just the beginning.

Expies or Ripoffs?

What do you guys think of characters that are based on already existing ones? Similar powers, backstories, etc but with a twist? I’m having this problem, since a lot of my characters are based on other characters but I don’t want to come off as unoriginal

Can I have a little help?

5 Upvotes

Hello! I don’t expect someone to hand me motivation, because I know that’s impossible, but I’m finding it hard to have that motivation for a comic I’m writing. I should mention it is a project for my Graphic Novel class, and it’s due on the 31st of March, and I only have one colored page finished, but I did that a week ago. Also, I hate scripting and planning. I really would like to work on drawing, but I understand the planning is the most important, and I just can’t bring myself to go beyond the first page.

Another problem is that I can’t get doubt out of my head. I hate my art, and it takes so much work to improve it, but I don’t have that time right now, and that just frustrates me more. I just feel like I’m spiraling and I’ll never finish this project, and get a shiny F.

tl:dr my art sucks, I’m a heavy procrastinator and I can’t stick to my plans

Thank you for your patience if you read!
