hrm... lesse... I've done one doujinshi... that I never finished (sad thing, I only had like 3-4 more pages to go T-T;; ) but the story was ick, so I killed the comic. (not that anyone read it x,D)
uhm... I'm currently working on 2 comics...
The Mafia and
Miasom (sshh, the second website isn't even finished yet, and I haven't posted about this comic anywhere else yet x3)
suggestions: for the love of your life and enjoyment of the comic, keep the characters simple.... unless you are one of those gastly people like CLAMP who can draw incredibly detailed outfits... every. single. frame. *slight twitch* +D;;;
also comics, teach you ALOT about perspective, and it's helpful to get a bit of "abstract art" knowledge (I jest you not, abstract(sp?) art will help when placing panels on the pages without leaving space out/taking away light from the climax of the page....
uhm.... another thing to remember is.... COMICS DO
NOT HAVE TO BE INK!!! This is not Japan where it's mandatory to have all ink/tone pages. Expeirement(sp), have fun. and test out new ways to make comics.
..... ....... .... in order to get fans... there is no such thing as too much advertising....
within the proper places. For instance I wouldn't suggest raiding your local nursing home with your comic of blood, murder and betrayal...
sweatdrop and in parallel to that, I also wouldn't go into the Life Issues forum here on Gaia and spam about your comic either.
sweatdrop uhm..... look into the big webcomics that "have made it" and see what elements they incooperated into their comics, also don't be afraid to ask creators about things. Especially the "ones who made it", even though they seem (to me at least) larger then life sometimes.... ^^;
..... I can't think of anything else right now. xD;;; uh, I'll be interested in what anyone else has to say.................. ^__^;;
EDIT: wow, that got long. 9___9
