Re: Webcomic Hate

A lot of these gripes I'm reading are similar to mine. Whoo, where do I begin? I feel like with the exception of two or three of my main characters, the rest of the characters are hardly memorable. Even though I have them act differently and they have their quirks and personalities, I don't feel lik...

Re: How important are backgrounds?

I think everyone already said what I'm about to say in a way, but I think backgrounds are important for comics that need to immerse the reader. For example, in a fantasy comic, or a serious, long story-line comic where getting the feel for the world, its surroundings, and all the small knick-knacks ...

Re: Webcomic Pet Peeves

Ooh, ooh, I have two to add that I didn't see here yet. 1. When people use the verb of something that is happening to a character as a sound effect instead of drawing it well enough so you can tell what's happening without being told. For example, drawing a panel where a character has a spear going ...

Re: my sexy drugsmuggling strip

I've been following this comic for several months now. I actually like it a lot. It sort of reminds me of a more "adult" version of Herge's work with Tintin, at least with the European feel. I don't know why people have anything against it because it's about drugs. I've never done drugs, never will,...

It doesn't even scale up. There's the image size , and then the resolution. Switching the resolution and clicking scale makes absolutely no difference. Thus why I'm wondering if it does anything at all. My newest comic I started off as a 300dpi. I always draw it big and scale down. When I went to sc...

Question about Resolution

This is a pretty specific question, but does anyone know if using Scale Image in the GIMP to change something from a low resolution to a high resolution works if the image has already been drawn? Or does it have to be set to a certain resolution when it is created as a new image? I had a comic finis...

Thanks for the continued feedback. It's all very helpful, I'm making a list of things to work on. The way you approached the material made it feel fresh and the art complimented the writing.

Visualization / Writing Methods

What's your favorite way of hashing together a plotline or single comic kicking around in your head? For plotlines, I prefer to write out something similar to an episode / plot summary you'd find on the back of a DVD case or book, or in an episode guide. Then, I can break it down to each strip conta...
