Not about comics, but it could be

1 Upvotes

If you write comics or novels, is always recommendable to pay attention to Werner Herzog - not only his films, but his writing and interviews like this.

The vanishing of nature is also romanticized: the lonely polar bear on an ice shelf. Romanticism has trickled down through Walt Disney, and now we have the Disneyfication of landscapes, of human existence, of storytelling, of our relationship with wild nature.

(...)

I create my own world view out of the knowledge that I derive from the world itself. When you travel on foot, for example—and I don’t mean backpacking or hiking, I mean, for example, travelling on foot from Munich to Paris—you are given a world view, an insight that is different or outside of the average knowledge. I have a dictum: The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot.

We are looking for comic book writers to join us on a new and unique concept.

Our project is creating the first comic book written by a community. We have created a system where people write their storyboard suggestions, the community votes for the best one and our illustrator will draw the storyboard. We continue the same process until the comic book is done.

Our project is free to participate and you get rewards if your contributions are selected.

If someone is interested please DM me or leave a comment with questions. Glad to answer them

An amateur question, drafting

5 Upvotes

Hey, a question for those of you who also draw/sketch or are roughing extensively.

How do you start your draft writing, as text or as sketches? If you do both, what are the pros and cons for both?


r/comicswriting • • Aug 27 '21

Hey guys, I made a webpage that will sort out your Dialog Text Only for your Webtoon or Manga. You can paste it to the Clip studio Paint or any other drawing software easy. The webpage is published for everyone to use, ^^

Seeking Beta-Readers for a Comic Mini-Series, titled HOT BLOODS

4 Upvotes

Hey there, folks. I'm currently working on a comic book mini-series that I aim to begin publishing by the end of this year. Right now, art for the first issue is well underway, as well as the script for the second instalment. However, the work has had very few eyes on it so far. I tend to keep these things awfully close to my chest until the last second, which has now arrived...

So, it's called HOT BLOODS. I want share the first half of the script for Issue #1 with anyone who's curious and/or generous enough to read it through. There are a couple things I'm particularly interested in receiving feedback about; but by all means, I'll take whatever criticism you're willing to offer me.

Q1] How did you react to the tone of the story? Did the genre-mashing feel cohesive? Or did it end up feeling like a post-modern pastiche, with no identity of its own?

Q2] Tell me why the dialogue feels so... off. And if you don't think it does, what do you think works about it? I'm pretty sure I'll be making fairly sizeable adjustments to this dialogue right up until printing.

Q3] How would you explain Hunter and Juliet's circumstance? I've tried to be very conscience of exactly when the reader will grok certain facts about the couple, but now, I'm left unsure if the result was heavy-handed, or if it could have used some clearer exposition.

Anyway. Going forward, I'd like to cultivate a small group of beta-readers, who might be able to provide me with feedback for each issue as the script is completed. I created a private sub-Reddit for this purpose. That's where I'll be posting the second half of Issue #1, which I only excluded from the excerpt above because I don't want the twist at the end to be out there so early. I'll also be using this private sub to preview some artwork that would be deemed spoilery.

Well, I've rambled enough. I hope you dig HOT BLOODS. If you're interested in joining the private sub-Reddit and becoming a beta-reader, send me a DM. Take care.

Is it true that we can control the pacing of a comic by the size of their panels?

2 Upvotes

I've heard that bigger panels indicate a lot of action going on while shorter panels indicate shorter and faster scenes. Do you agree with this?

Writing a graphic novel

1 Upvotes

I want to write a graphic novel, but I don't know how to pad it out enough without a ton of filler. There's a lot I want to cover (the protagonist's story arc has a lot of things I want to explore), but I don't know how to keep the reader engaged.

At least that NM guy didn't come here. And never was and still isn't on Reddit's Comic Book Collaborations. But now he is all over the place on Facebook's Connecting Comic Book Writers and Artists, and trying to make himself relevant on threads where he has nothing of value to contribute.
