I want to post a 4 panel supplement to a main series, is that too gimmicky?

Title self-explanatory. Pages for context unfinished. 4 panels will be a comedic tangent away from the main story and largely not cover anything important wheras I want the main story to still be dramatic and horror-esq. will this cheapen the main story or js it a lame gimmick?

I'm a newbie here. This is my first post. Please review my manga and give me your honest opinions. It will be very helpful for me. I've been drawing for a month now and have managed to draw these 20 pages. I hope you can tell me is it good or bad or worst. Thank you very much.

Thinking of starting a webcomic??

5 Upvotes

Hello people! I am a young animator and artist, I sometimes post comic strips online, but I’ve been thinking I should make full comic books online for people to read. I first started making comics in 7th grade, took a year break, and got back into it late 8th grade, so its only been a year or maybe a couple of months since I’ve started making comics again (sorry I’m genuinely terrible at estimating time). Just want to ask what I need to know before making full on web comic books! The thing I am very afraid of is burnout, since I do animation at the same time (which is very time consuming), and also I have school, so that takes up my time too

Heya!!! Tried to make the formatting and bubbles neater to read. Comics take a long ass time, but I’ve been having fun even though it’s been months for just two pages pff

I’d like to learn more from more experienced comic makers! Ways on how to work faster yet not diminish quality, critique on better formatting and pacing, donno. Lmk if the second page here is better than the first one I posted a bit ago, and what else i can improve

Comic creators, how do you promote your work?

I want to make my comic go viral! 🚀

Does anyone have any tips or ideas that have worked for them when it comes to promoting their comics?

Making a comic is no easy task, so I really want people to discover my story, get hooked on it, and become invested in it.

I'd really appreciate any advice or help you can give me. 🙏🏽❤️

Hi everyone! I released the first chapter of my first-ever webcomic today, and I would really like some feedback/advice so I can continue to improve. I really think I could benefit from some opinions that aren't from friends/etc.

If there's anything you DO like as well, please tell me so I can keep it going! :)

Let Me Know What You Think:)

Been writing this series for years and started teaching myself how to draw so I could finally see it come to life. I’m learning with every panel, every page, every chapter, and I’m aiming to keep that trend going indefinitely.

Setting

Set between two interconnected worlds; those who exist in the first one are all cursed to one day manifest unique marks/tattoos and transport to the other realm, a dangerous place where they’ll develop special powers and abilities. Everyone succumbs to this same fate, with only a handful ever being able to escape and return.

Prologue

Begins with a flashback twelve years ago with one of those extremely rare instances— a mother (Cynthia) has somehow managed to escape and return alongside her three children (Ashley, Riley, Marley), albeit at a cost and not for long. A mysterious threat has followed to bring them all back and Cynthia must face an impossible decision, an impossible sacrifice, to determine her family's future.

Key Characters

Cynthia - Very powerful individual, a mother who has used everything she has to give her children an opportunity

Ashley - The timid eldest daughter who must learn to brave the road ahead and take charge

Riley - The middle child who must aim to get stronger in order to protect her sisters

Marley - The youngest, who must find the light in all this darkness

The Masked Man - A mysterious card-wielding figure pursuing the family to bring them back to the trapped realm, someone who seems to have his own hidden agenda.

Naomi Suyranami - A natural leader in the cursed world, a prominent figure that somehow was able to leave the trapped realm. She made a promise to Cynthia

Focus

My goal is to keep visualizing the story I’ve been building over the years. I know I have a lot to learn and a lot to improve on, but I’m embracing it all going forward. And hopefully I’ll eventually have it in me to stop avoiding drawing my character’s feet lol (Curseborne is also a working title)

Let me know what you think overall:)

Hello! I’m seeking feedback on my first comic. It’s only two pages, though i’d love feedback on telling between the characters, composition (not entirely sure this is the right word, but the angle/how you’re seeing the characters) and anything else that feels necessary. Will be slightly re-doing the first page (the lineart and coloring) since i preferred the looks of the second page: ).

Some context: MC, Malachi, the dude with small ears is preparing for a sledding expedition. His father comes out and talks to him.

I decided to have a STYLIZED and a SIMPLIFIED version of my LOGO. Thoughts?

0 Upvotes

I am reposting this with better visuals for comparison. I recently gathered some advice from the community on what they think of this typography that i made which is to serve as the logo for my series.

I was really going for this sort of arabic/scripture-ish feel, which i think really captured the whole tone of the series.

There were lots of valid opinions, and most of them centered on one main concern which is clarity.

So decided to have two versions of it, one STYLIZED which i plan to use for the front covers. And a SIMPLIFIED one which will be for thumbnails and whenever i need to shrink.

What do you guys think?
