how did you dad split the work?

dusty terrace
#

you know, I can't remember who did what. I know they did a mix of both

#

I could ask him for some specifics

coarse silo
#

Do so, if it isn't a bother to him

dusty terrace
#

he did this at some point after getting out of the army, and funded it with his friend

#

it's a military story

#

let me see if i can find something

coarse silo
#

Interesting - and I can see that

dusty terrace
#

guess it was in '94 they released it

fleet bramble
#

you know

#

there's oddly many people that are ex army that go into comics

coarse silo
#

That is actually true

dusty terrace
#

yeah, my dad was a big comic fan since he was a kid as well. went to comic-con sometime in the 70s and met lee himself

#

and kirby, iirc

#

can't remember, but it was when comic con was a hell of a lot smaller

coarse silo

coarse silo

That kid was hella lucky

fleet bramble

I've heard that a lot

dusty terrace
#

wasn't on the superstar level those guys are on today

#

really cool stuff

fleet bramble
#

creators just were happy to meet people that gave a shit

coarse silo

fleet bramble
#

and now I'm a bit sad that that's over....

coarse silo
#

Creators want to be respected for their work

dusty terrace
#

yeah, times have changed. way before my time, but. it sounds nice

coarse silo
#

It was simpler times

#

when everything wasn't about comic book films

fleet bramble
#

even Image has faltered

coarse silo
#

and was about comic creators

fleet bramble
#

it's not just the movies

#

it's the creators we have now...

coarse silo
#

Image is wonky af

fleet bramble
#

it used to be okay

#

now Image is this retarded hippie publication

coarse silo
#

dusty terrace
#

yeah

coarse silo
#

Image is the breeding ground for hipsters

dusty terrace
#

we've talked about western comics a few times doom, and from what I've seen shep feels the same way

coarse silo
#

I am always on those rants

fleet bramble
#

yeah any person that gets into comics a bit does

coarse silo
#

Comics has become a battleground between hipsters and sane people at this point

#

well, the industry

fleet bramble
#

yeah

#

and thanks to digital, nobody needs publishers and brick and morta stores anymore

coarse silo
#

Yeah, but we need those floppies

#

the lifeline of the industry is determined by the floppies

#

if floppies do not sell - then digital sales slump

#

this only refers to the mainstream

#

indie is perfectly healthy

#

but crowdfunding is starting to become impractical

#

got to get those floppies to shops

#

support LCSs

fleet bramble
#

those shops just aren't cutting it anymore since the big names don't deliver guaranteed sellers

coarse silo
#

Indeed

fleet bramble
#

and those absurd ordering policies

coarse silo
#

and it is sad

#

Oh God

#

the ordering policies are atrocious

#

and serve to put LCSs in danger zone

#

publishers shifting the burden of costs to the shop

#

messy practices

very

#

and for other stores, manga pretty much is cannibalizing the market

#

because frankly speaking, it's the stronger format

coarse silo

Manga is the way

the only way

and Marvel boarded that train

past bluff
#

I'm not from the USA so I don't understand what this hipsters VS sane people thing is. Could you please explain? I'm curious. ^^

coarse silo
#

It is very complex

#

but long story short - the american comics industry is being driven to the ground by people who wish to use comics as a platform for politics rather than telling an actual story.

#

AKA The Hipsters

fleet bramble
#

it's people hiring their friends. and those friends just want the job "because it's cool" and not because they ever cared about the medium. so we're stuck with people that don't have either merit or the knowledge of what made those stories great in the past.

K

coarse silo
#

alright

#

so you want to start writing your story, yes

#

?

jade yew
#

I have a few stories in mind and have then thought out, but i feel i may need a blueprint before i can start drawing the actual manga

coarse silo
#

You need to have a blueprint

#

always

#

like make an overall outline

jade yew
#

So it would be best to write it out like a novel first? To act as my blueprint

coarse silo
#

No

#

write out outlines

jade yew
#

I haven character designs and all that

coarse silo
#

okay, character designs are a start

jade yew
#

How should i make my blueprint

coarse silo
#

now what about the characters themselves

#

do they have a backstory?

jade yew
#

The characters have perosnality. Essentially the characters r complete

coarse silo
#

Okok

#

have you figured your beginning and end?

jade yew
#

Thats y im here. I have a beginning in mind, but i want it to be quite a long story and i dont wanna have to make up stuff as i go to try to make things make sense like tetsuya nomura with kingdom hearts

coarse silo
#

Okay, so what are the themes of your story

#

you don't have to tell me all of them

#

but themes can help shape out what happens in the middle

jade yew
#

One of them is a story i came up with using my 4 ffxiv characteds which make up a party. That one is most likely the easiest story i have that i can do in terms of beginning and end. As for the others, all my stories involve the same characters but in different universes that i imagined up. So while i can, and might do the ffxiv story, i would also like to do at least 1 original story with my characters

#

Cuz the characters in ffxiv is where my characters came from. I created them, and came up wirh personalities and all that for them and had an idea that i can use them in a story

coarse silo
#

I'll say this now - when I came up with my story and characters, it was a Justice League rip-off with custom characters. So you are still in the beginning phase where now you have your own ideas, but are too unsure of what to do with them. You are off to a good start! But! The characters themselves have to serve some significance aside from being there for the sake of the plot or for their personalities. They have to bring an element that contrast with each other.

jade yew
#

Oh yeah i got that part

coarse silo
#

Okay, that is good

#

so now you want to know how to make the overall story

jade yew
#

Main character is energetic, alwaya ready to fight, funny, nonsensacle. The love interest is a calm elegant intellegant character

#

With the ffxiv story the main obsticale besides making it a good story, is the quality. I feel if i use their property, i would be obligated to make it to their quality standard, which means a lot of detail, of which in perfectly fine with cuz i love and respect them, buy my artistic skills arent that great

coarse silo
#

Then be original

#

diverge into other sources of inspiration

#

I'll tell you now

#

when I was making this story

#

well my story

#

it was a JL rip, then a One Piece-esque rip

#

then a until the last of us rip

#

then I realized why not try to merge certain elements of different stories to individual characters

#

just wait

#

gotta go afk

#

be back

jade yew
#

K

#

In terms of settings and areas. I have A LOT as all my location ideas came from my dreams. I dont get nightmares, all mg dreams r fun, epic, funny, and have amazing scenery and locations, of which i can adapt into a story, which is another thing i have in the wraps. I have characters and locations

coarse silo
#

Okay, that is part three

#

part two is setting up what type of story it is

fierce lintel
jade yew
#

Yes

coarse silo
#

and that is where your Main character comes in

#

or the driving force

#

of the story

#

assuming you are using one character as a pivot

jade yew
#

@fierce lintel looks like something a square enix person would draw a lord of the rings character. Not dissing, just saying its cool and Thats wut i see

#

For the ffxiv story, my main character just wants to travel the world and become the greatest dark knight. Kind of like zoro mixed with loofy

fierce lintel
#

That's fine. No offense taken really. It's concept for a character in a story I'm making.

coarse silo
#

I see, I see. And what do you think will make him a Great Dark Knight?

#

What trials should he overcome

jade yew
#

The hair makes me thing square enix concept art

coarse silo
#

what challenges should he face

#

in order to be where he is

jade yew
#

Thats parts i need to work on

coarse silo
#

you have locations

jade yew
#

So far he just fights for fun and along the way gets better

coarse silo
#

okay, then try add an obstacle

#

something that hinders his growth

#

it could be a personal gripe

#

or just an enemy that is everything he isn't

#

and the locations you plotted out

#

try use that to morph how it works out

#

an environment tells more

jade yew
#

I have always thought as a joke to make the main character a marry sue to mess with everyone, but now i want to make something that ppl can actually enjoy. And since the MC is essentially a self insert of me (ppl hate that but idc it helps me relate and put more feeling into my art)

coarse silo
#

Nothing wrong with self-inserts, but don't make it a mary sue fic

#

it cheapens out the whole thing

jade yew
#

Imma also be using my manga as a blueprint for my animations, i do 3d animations and music and my bro makes the models. Once i can get the manga i can make the animation

#

So i have long term plans for the idea

coarse silo
#

I'll say this, when doing self inserts, focus on a characteristic flaw within yourself

#

rather than fully

jade yew
#

Oh yeah i got that

#

Egotistical

#

Doesnt like losing

#

In fact i feel like that makes giving my character trials,much easier

coarse silo
#

just wait, be back in 15 minutes

#

jade yew
#

K

coarse silo
#

I'll ping you when I'm done

coarse silo
#

@jade yew

#

sorry it took so long

#

if you are not online, I'll leave a few notes here

#

To structure your story, focus on the locations and what they can symbolize or be constructed to represent

#

then from there, mark what would be the most significant and the least

#

then from there make a progression system

#

it doesn't have to be coherent in terms of when it happens

#

but make sure your mc learns something

#

or barely earns a victory

#

But, if you want your MC overpowered - make sure they have an emotional disconnect that can be remedied with each obstacle conquered (or not)

jade yew

#

Read yur messages btw

#

And thb, while having a mary sue character would be cool, i wouldn't get the feels i love getting wen i watch the main character fight their heart out to great music

#

With a mary sue its "oh they gunna win without trying any way"

#

A regular character yu can feel their struggle

coarse silo
#

Mary Sues don't earn their power

jade yew
#

Ye

coarse silo
#

or suffer emotional disconnect

#

for being perfect

#

the world bends for them

#

and that makes a boring story

#

there is nothing to learn

#

or invest in

jade yew
#

Talkin to yu about this helped me get rid of my want for a mary sue. I may still do it at some point as a joke kind of like one punch, but as my passion project, i want it to have feels and consequences

coarse silo
#

Saitama is not a mary sue

#

he is only strong

#

too strong for his own good

#

that he himself is isolated

#

and wanting to be human again

#

but cannot seem to find a ground

#

he is more or less a parody of Superman

😍

#

Mary Sue is a very loosely thrown term that I don't like using

#

but aside from that, I can see potential in where you are going

#

but remember, take your time when plotting out the story

#

Something to know about why: I took 3-4 years to finally come up with a solid storyline - seriously, planning it out is the brunt of it all.

#

Inspirations can get you so far

#

but it is deciding what is appropriate and sensible for the characters you create

#

or rather the World you are trying to create

#

that matters the most, @jade yew

jade yew
#

Everday for years i day dream about my characters in many scenarios. It's wut i do wen im at work listening to music.

#

Its a matter of organizing it and making it work all together

coarse silo
#

What do you imagine your story to be like if put into music?

#

that could help shape out the story better

#

with me, heavy metal tracks lay the core foundation of how my story functions

#

each track in an album signify an element of the journey

#

or maybe the characters personal growth in chronogical order

#

and the trauma they endure

#

is your story similar to the themes of metal - or is it more in the themes of opera?

#

Or maybe the themes of the rebelleous?

jade yew
#

Techno trance, orchestral, and rock and all then combined

coarse silo
#

Okay, good

#

now, when you play those tracks

#

what do you see

#

an event

#

maybe it is the beginning

#

or the end

#

but when you listen to the tracks, what does it feel like to you

#

does it sound as if it came before

#

or after

#

or is it a buildup

jade yew
#

Well i make muaic primarily since i was 11. Im 25 now, and in 2014 is wen my 3 other characters came to life. My main character has always been a thing since middle school

#

So my music is made and i work around it

#

I cant even think of a name until it done and i listen to it to feel out a name

#

I mainly making techno/trance since i was 11, but couple years ago ive been broading my horizons with making chiptune, trying to make orchestral music and anime op and ed type sounding songs

#

But with my experience, i can think of a moment and make a song bases around that

#

My first attempt at orchestral i just staired at my tv screen which had monster hunter on it, and it helped

#

Im more of a musical person, i play how i feel. So all i gatta do is think of a feeling and i can base music around that

coarse silo
#

Try studying films with magnificient scores

jade yew
#

O i do. Wen the music starts, my twars be adrippin

#

SAO

#

One piece

#

Wolf children

#

I kno how powerful music can be to enhance the moment

#

Final fantasy games

coarse silo
#

Okay, then do exercises where you place your story in that track

#

like try simulate

#

and see what works

#

and then see where you think it belongs

#

note that this ain't easy

jade yew
#

I do need practice on making sinister sounding music since all i make is happy melodic music

coarse silo
#

Sinister music - I would recommend listening to horror sounds

#

not music

#

but the sounds itself

#

ambiency

jade yew
#

I have audio software i can use to make sinister sounds

#

Sound design is an animation topic tho, atm i gatta worj on getting the manga first as i can essentially trace from that for the animation

coarse silo
#

Animation topic indeed - but music always has rhythm that help flow

jade yew
#

Yes

#

I wouldn't be able to feel the moment if there wasnt music

coarse silo
#

Which is why it is vital

#

also, broaden your inspirations

jade yew
#

Yeah

coarse silo
#

get more ideas

#

it is the only way to see what stories can fit your vision!

#

Basically,

#

WATCH TV AND MOVIES

#

AND PLENTY OF IT!!!

jade yew
#

Im inspired by ZUN who makea Touhou. He made touhou all his own cuz he wanted to make video game music. Im inspired by final fantasy for its quality. Inspired by sao for its music, visual effects, and spund design

coarse silo
#

But, confining yourself to those is creative restraint

#

that is something you want to avoid

#

don't limit it

jade yew
#

Its mostly music stuff anyway, so i see wut yu mean

coarse silo
#

This can be applied to your story as well

#

music albums tell a tale

jade yew
#

True

#

2 of my chiptune songs which i posted on utube have a feel for them and thats how they got their name

#

One sounds like a start of an adventure. The other sounds like a snowy area

coarse silo
#

So you have a few things going!

#

You have the start - and something in the middle!

#

you don't know what

#

but that is okay

#

that is where inspiration comes in to fill the gaps

#

then the editing comes with how your characters can suit

#

then the refinement comes when you start putting in your own ideas

#

write drunk, then edit sober

#

then review like a scholar

#

is basically what I am advising to you

#

be broad in your vision

jade yew
#

Gotchya

coarse silo
#

do not shackle yourself

#

to only the stuff you sourced from

unborn hound
#

Haha guys wanna see two drawings I did in the same year

coarse silo
#

Sure!

jade yew
#

For me to start i feel i should write out the story like a novel so i have a template of which i can draw from, would that be a gud start? Cuz i feel if i just start drawing the manga, ill lose my place, train of thought and all that as it takes time for me to draw

coarse silo
#

Make it an outline at best!

unborn hound
coarse silo
#

Novelizing it will be harder to keep track of

#

LOL, wut?

unborn hound
#

If that’s not improvement I don’t know what is

coarse silo
#

You went from Usopp to Luffy

#

LMAO

unborn hound
#

No I did the bad art first KataOmegaLUL

coarse silo
#

And Kinoma, keep it simple and have it like a visual map

#

or in bullet points

unborn hound
#

@dusty terrace come look at my art from when I was 14

jade yew
coarse silo
#

a catagorized or catalogued paper

jade yew
#

Sayaki i drew how i felt one day

coarse silo
#

Drawings are good - but you need to practice shading - give it a 3D element

#

and yeah, proportions need more work

#

you are on the right track

#

but you need to put more time into the craft

#

more practice

jade yew
#

I can do shading, i just dont for wen im doodling

coarse silo
#

Okay, now that is good

jade yew
#

Most my doodle r just something to take the boredem away, i shade wen i do them digitally

coarse silo
#

like damn

jade yew
#

Heres the thing. I draw in final draft

#

I dont like structure lines, to frustrating, and too many erase marks

#

Thats my weakness

coarse silo
#

That is why we have digital, LOL

#

Okay, you have the art-style down

#

I can now see that

#

seriously, you scared me with the earlier draws

#

LMAO

jade yew
#

Wen i drae i have to see my hand, so i need to draw on paper. Tho wen i trace it for,digital work, i can fox the problems

coarse silo
#

That is excellent!

jade yew
coarse silo
#

All that is left for you to do is practice sequencing and simulating how your story plays out!

#

And wow

jade yew
#

Sayaki was an original concept as well as Kissone

coarse silo
#

Nice nice!

jade yew
#

Kissone's swors is inspired by Cloud's fusion sword from ff7 adventure children. But im reluctant to shoe it publicly as its too dear to me. That a 7th grade weeb dumby can come up with a complex 2 swords that combine to make up 1 buster sword, is amazing to me

#

I would say it's my crowning achievement and I dont want anyone stealing it

coarse silo
#

LOL

jade yew
#

My chibi style

coarse silo
jade yew
#

Maple story style

#

I try different styles

#

Or i try to

coarse silo
#

dude, you got the visual elements down

#

like hot damn

jade yew
#

There is 1 thing tho, i can only draw 1 type of facial and body structure. I cant do elongate faces or muscular bodies

coarse silo
#

s***

jade yew
#

I can only do average body types

coarse silo
#

s***

jade yew
#

Yeah it's bad

coarse silo
#

this is what I was afraid of

jade yew
#

Tho my brother and friend i was thinking on getting them in on it as they can draw much more

coarse silo
#

you have the stylistic elements down

#

that is good

jade yew
#

My bro can do animals and essentailly anything. And my buddy most does muscular types

#

So i can make a team to get more done visually

coarse silo
#

Convenient!

#

but I recommend practicing drawing dynamically

#

and proportions

#

improve your craft

#

and also - study your own face

#

not a joke

#

study how your face moves

#

I feel like you don't really need art advice

#

LMAO

jade yew
#

Oh i kno. I recently found out why i hate my art

#

Its cuz my faces were too low on the head

#

Wen i learned that it fixed everything

#

Looks way better

#

It was that small subtle thing

#

I used to say i was bad at art. But once i learned that one small detail, i now have confidence

coarse silo
#

It is always the subtle details that kill oneself - KEK
But remember, write drunk, edit sober, review like a scholar!

jade yew
#

And wuts yur opinion on using 3d models to pose and draw from, cuz i do that sometimes

#

Used to use garrys mod but i use mmd sfm and blender now

coarse silo
#

I don't use 3D models

#

I have no say in that

jade yew
#

Cuz with 3d programs i can do lighting as well

#

So i can get shading based on the area

#

I feel it helps, tho i need to work on my free handing. Wenever i free hand, i tend to draw too big

coarse silo
#

Then practice sequencing and layouts

#

only way to improve free handing

#

or basically draw 40+ years

#

to Kim Jung Gi levels of illustration

#

man is a master of freehanded inking

jade yew
#

I saw where egorapter would internationally give himself a small canvas on which to draw and make the most of it

#

Perhaps i should try that

#

Cuz i also need to learn how to do manga paneling

coarse silo
#

If you want to learn about how to layout, watch some Jim Lee videos

#

he gives tips for how to use your space properly

#

or you could just read alot more manga, LOL

#

and see how they manage their spacing

jade yew
#

I do have a few manga i haven't read yet. Touhou and Splatoon

coarse silo
#

How many series have you read?

jade yew
#

Fma, touhou, splatoon, shoulder a coffin kuro, Q-ko chan, and i think thats about it

thorn garden
#

sorry to interrupt the convo but imma just drop these here

coarse silo
#

You should probably read alot more

jade yew
#

Yu gud

coarse silo
#

and np Emood

jade yew
#

The reason i dont read manga as much is cuz i like to hear the music for each scenario, and we dont have audio books for manga lol, its an audio thing, but i kno that's no excuse

#

I read manga wen i was in school to pass the time wen i didnt feel like drawing

coarse silo
#

you should take time to study its design elements

jade yew
#

Yeah

coarse silo
#

also, study film for stories and sequencing

jade yew
#

I do wanna get the sweetness and lightening manga since the story continues there and the anime stopped short

coarse silo
#

unborn hound
#

Omfg so as it turns out, I’ve been drawing clowns since before I realized my love for them

coarse silo
#

Wait, what?

unborn hound

Yup

unborn hound
#

I love Brooklyn nine nine GWjiangoOmegaLUL

coarse silo
#

I don't watch much dramas

#

I'm mostly comics and memes

jade yew
#

Thats a line of Yshtola from ffxiv memes i make

unborn hound
#

Relatable. But it’s not really a drama show. Lol it’s a comedy

jade yew
#

I need to make more

coarse silo
#

LOL

#

y'know what I mean

#

more memes = more internet power

jade yew
#

Oh yeah i made Murasaki in PSO2 as well

#

Kissone and Mura

#

Thems the lovies,of my story

#

I kno its not art, but its fir my story of which i use to get inspiration

#

Making my characters in different games helps me come up with more ideas

coarse silo
#

I see, I see

jade yew
#

Also considering i need to come up with a wardrobe that can work for outside of ffxiv since the wardrobe im used to for her is this

#

Dresses and robes work for her definitely, but i gatta find one that isnt specific. Something i can tske inspiration from and make it my own

#

I have so many wardrobe for her in ffxiv i could use as inspiration

#

I appreciate all the advice shep

coarse silo
#

The honor is mine, but in all honesty - you just need to practice alot

#

you have all the things

jade yew
#

Yeh

coarse silo
#

you just got to practice

#

and widen your vision

#

so all the best in your future endeavors

#

keep in touch

fleet bramble
#

okay @coarse silo

#

so, what's the intent behind this

#

that's the most important thing.

#

you want a certain mood or soemthing?

coarse silo
#

it was a scene where the dude is walking through a battlefield

#

the only thing you hear are his steps

#

it is supposed to be cold

#

or rather lonely

#

I messed up the SFX - so it detracts from the desolate atmosphere

fleet bramble
#

also you want to remaster it, so I assume you'll edit the frames

#

yeah

coarse silo
#

Yes

fleet bramble
#

you could have gone with just a howling wind or single instrument

#

so first of all, get your dude's torso moving when he walks

#

a breathing motion

#

helps a lot to make it less robotic

coarse silo
#

Yeah, that was something I was beating myself over

#

like he looks like a cyberman when walking

fleet bramble
#

also, the foreground is a battlefield, but there's obviously a few more layers

#

so you might wanna work on some shading to give some illusion of depth

coarse silo
#

Yeah - I was feeling that way about it - but I need more time with those elements. I kind of southparked it in terms of production

#

like paper cutouts

#

it was to save me the trouble of drawing the same thing 50 times

#

except in scrolling motion

fleet bramble
coarse silo
#

I was going for this!

#

but I don't do digital

fleet bramble
#

I thgought about that already

#

you can do it by just more or less intense hatching

coarse silo
#

True - but I was wanting to get the whole thing done in less than 24 hours

#

but I had no ink

fleet bramble
#

that's fine

coarse silo
fleet bramble
#

I'm not telling your how you should have done it 😄

#

but you said you wanna remaster it

coarse silo
#

Yeah

#

when I have resources

fleet bramble
#

personally I always draw a few keyframes and then get bored

coarse silo
#

I'm telling ya, keeping consistent drawings without a light desk is hard

#

and it makes one question existence

#

and why they do what they do

#

so I relate

fleet bramble
#

build one yourself dummy 😄

coarse silo
#

But where am I supposed to keep it!?!?

#

O.o

fleet bramble
#

get 2 sheets of translucent plastic whater

then fill even with hot glue lol

Nice! And that is helpful, Doom!

Thanks for the advice and feedback!
