Description

Old comic works from 2014. After a few tests, I decided to stop with it. The problem was the characters. The result was ugly, and each time a different result. That was a big nono. The time-consuming rendering was also not a very great option. Think about it, 600 images, each 10 to 20 minutes or more, is a lot of time. Maybe I think about it once more... Thanks for looking.

I had the same experience in the 1980s, then from 2004 to 2014. Look at my gallery, especially the Comics album (7 chapters); maybe you will figure out a way to regain that motivation. Hope that will work for you. I am seeing good talents, in your posts; however, it is important to deepen in the psychological aspects of your characters, and on the social aspect of your environments. Before starting and illustrating your comic project, define your themes, define a thread in your story, write a summary, then a scenario, find your illustration and page layout style of yours, write a script for your narrative. Develop a database of your clips, then you render your pictures in the book format. I hope that you will succeed in retaining the attention of your fan base.

Thanks for your comment. You posted an impressive number of comic pages :-) I checked a few of them. Thumbs up.

The biggest problem for me is the art of the characters. Too ugly and stiff, problems with lines, lighting etc. I always let others see some of my examples and ask them if they like to read a comic in this style, and more often than not, the reaction is negative. Oh boy, the classic hand-drawn art is still strong, and personally, I don't want the other way :-) So, before I start working out my story (yes, I have a few stories in my mind), I need first a good groundwork. If I want more readers, I must first improve my art, especially the characters. Then I can work out the script.
