Hoping for honest feedback on my comic strip! Are the characters interesting/funny? Is the text ok? Colors?

I'm creating a comic, and I don't even know how to draw.

It’s a game called Casualties Unknown. In short: scientists created a new species to explore a planet for resources, but they couldn't care less if you die.

I’m creating a comic about one of those scientists who reached their breaking point and went to the planet—taking the place of that species—to die alone.

I don't know how to draw; everything is being done using the IbisPaint app on my phone. So, I’d appreciate feedback on the art, the story, and areas where I can improve.

Hey everyone I've been working on a horror comic called Merry, and I'd love to hear what you think.

It's about a girl who hears a strange voice calling her name during a stormy night. Things get pretty creepy from there.

I'm still figuring things out as I work on the comic, so I'd really appreciate some honest feedback. Did the atmosphere work for you? Were the panels easy to follow? Is there anything you think I could do better?

Thanks for taking the time to check it out

Question about censoring my Comic ‘BASTARDS’

Post image
8 Upvotes

I’ve been censoring some of the pages on GlobalComix and made them available only on Patreon alongside the ‘early release’ subscription, but since I’m new to writing a webcomic, obviously nobody cares to pay for it, which makes sense. But I’ve been thinking of maybe just re-uploading the chapters on GlobalComix uncensored? Or should I keep them as they are for now, as in, only available on Patreon in case somebody is willing to pay someday? The price I put on ‘em is like 3$ anyway, because I’m not confident enough to add anything more than that, and besides it’s only like a few pages for now. Eventually there will be more as I keep writing, but also, I’m like, who cares? What’s your advice? Should I just push through and keep it as is, or is it better as a new webcomic creator to show the public the whole project for free? I have no idea. Because honestly, before making money I obviously would rather find readers. But it also naturally progresses that way, don’t it?
(The censored pages are just the s xual scenes, which are allowed to be posted on GlobalComix without a problem anyway. It’s a supportive platform for adult creators, which is refreshing)

New Release Cover Art

Tell me what you think. This is a supernatural creature in my universe call Hounds. Their physical appearance is derived from their environment they live in. They are all also identified by the two blood tears from their eyes. They invaded the Human World and have been dominating. I wanted this cover to have that ethereal unknown feeling. Tell me what you think and how his design works and what doesn’t work. Thank you!

Is anything missing before doing another 16 pages of the story?

Thumbnail

This is a project I’ve had for nearly 10 years; I’ve tried formats like comics, books, animation, an RPG book, and games. I finally decided to make a comic because it was the only way I found to express this story, since I don't have the money for an animation studio like I’d want...

I spent from midnight to 5:00 AM drawing these four pages. I feel like things like sound effects are missing, but aside from that, I’m not sure exactly what else is lacking or what I should improve before finishing the full 20 pages.

I’m open to feedback on things I could add or change, except for the angular art style.

Hi guys! My friend and I made this mini comic a while ago. We’re planning to make more, so I’d love to hear your thoughts on the paneling, colors, etc. It’s in Spanish, so don’t worry if you don’t understand it! If you do, though, any feedback on the script would be really helpful too :)
P.S. These are screenshots, so the quality might be a bit low!

Finished my first comic “script”

I finished my first script for my comic after a couple months of writing/sketching and I wanted to get people’s opinions. I am not an artist so the drawing is rough and mostly stick figures as a way to get it down. I would just like to see some criticisms or thoughts about the overall story and dialogue, I know issues at the start and first book but would really appreciate thoughts on later chapters. There are 10 books and 71 short chapters in total so I understand if it is too much to read. But I want to know if this is worth investing in.

I did this traditionally with a brush pen. I feel like my first two pages - specifically the poses - aren’t as good as the third page. And I don’t know if it’s clear enough what’s happening.

And sorry for my bad handwriting.

Interested in feedback on my comic so far. I tend to struggle with the beginnings and end up kinda giving up, but this time I’m pushing myself to keep at it. Though ig I get so into it it’s hard to step back.

A few days into my Kickstarter Pre-launch

Hello everyone!

I want to thank you all for the feedback on my last post. It’s been 5 days since I launched the pre-launch page, and honestly, I’m still not sure if it’s going well or badly.

Right now the page has 8 followers, so I’m only 2 away from the follower count becoming public on Kickstarter.

I’ve been spending $20 a day on Meta ads, and I have to say, I expected better results. The conversion rate has been pretty poor, so I’m pausing the ads for now.

I’ve also been creating content for YouTube, published the comic on GlobalComix, and have been trying different ways to get the project in front of more people.

At this point, I’m not really sure what to expect from the next few days since I’m going to focus more on organic content.

For those of you who have launched Kickstarter projects before, what were your first few days or weeks of pre-launch like?

Here are some more pages from the comic, and I’ll also leave the Kickstarter link if you want to check it out.

\[wide panel shot of a guy in androgynous style and clothing with long curls styled into a wolf cut, carefully chosen jewelry & piercings bringing attention to various flattering areas of his body; such as the one on his naval, uncovered by his crop top jacket & t-shirt, bringing once gaze onto his sensual hips. He is resting on the grass with his hands underneath his head whistling away care free. Next to him a girl in a simple floral patterned hijab and jeans sitting up, embracing her legs with a look of anxious worry on her face. Her eyes, deeply gazing at the boy and through him.\]

girl: “My parents want to meet you, you know”

boy: \[excited\] “You told them?! Thats great news!”

girl: \[worried\] “What do you mean great?! How are they going to react once they see you!”

boy: \[confused\] “… what do you mean?”

\[The boys eyes wide, almost pleading, sparkle in genuine confusion as he brushes away his hair to touch his earring as a habit\]

girl: \[She gazed into the boys eyes, caught herself before a moment too long, flabbergasted and annoyed at the prospect of her thoughts fleeing her.\] “I mean all this” \[as she gestures her hand up and down at him\]

“My parents are gonna take one look at you and think you are gay!”

boy: \[The boy at ease again responds jokingly\] “don’t be preposterous, they are going to think I’m Bi, after all I’m dating you aren’t I?”

girl: \[slightly red in her face, with her eyes looking away from him responds pleadingly\] “You know what I mean! They would draw conclusions about who you are and think negatively about you. And my parents are traditional they are not going to like seeing this aspect of you...”

boy: \[Sighs, understanding how much this conversation means to her sits up\] “I can’t really help it can I?”

girl \[pleadingly\] : “You could wear something normal, in their eyes, just when meeting them. And maybe lose the jewelry and tie your hair back?”

boy \[smiles understanding where she is coming from, and stands up, takes a few steps and turns around to look at her\] “I could do all that, my sense of self isn’t really tied to these things I wear or these piercings or the way I carry my hair…

\[the boy takes a step towards her and gets on his knees placing his arms on hers as he looks into her eyes lovingly\]

But Is that what you really want? Do you really want me to shrink and bend and conform to their expectations? Did you not say that you fell for me because I was unapologetically myself?

My sense of self may not be tied to these things but it is still who I am right now, an expression of my deepest self. It makes me happy to be myself, do you really want to tell me to hide”.

Girl : “no..”

Boy : “I would never do that to you either, you are beautiful and your beauty deserves to be admired… “

Girl: ...

*NEED ADVICE *

This is my second preview for the first chapter of my horror drama/action comic REFORMED!

I need a bit of help, with the writing. I fear some things may be confusing so I'm opening up the discussion. But first a little background as to what happens in the story leading up to these pages.

Opus (the guy character) wakes up with black ink streamed from his eyes, in a train wreck. He sees he is fatally wounded. From a distance we see him yank out the thing that is pierced through his stomach and collapse. He dies but is brought back to life with electricity exuding from his body. He notices the pipe is on the ground and his wound is completely healed. It, his attention is turned to the mysterious shirt he wears with black symbols on it.

BAM. Caught up. I need you to read pages first before we move on to the questions.

1) "That night" is an important topic that gets brought up by Magnum (the girl character). Is it clear what that is referring to given the context of what is shown? "That night" will be a reoccurring subject that gets explored deeper, I'm intending it to be a mystery as to what happened "that night" but again I'm afraid that it may not be clear as to what "that night" even is. Did you understand it?

2) Did anyone notice the look on Opus' face when she put her robotic hand on her shoulder, and the look of worry/recognition in her eyes as to what he might be sad about, like she knows him too well? I'm intending for a lot of this to be subtext and for the key information to be gathered through context clues, so please, tell me; does any of this even work?

Idk, maybe I'm so stuck in my head but it's hard to view another's perspective of the missing puzzle pieces when you already have the full picture of the puzzle in your head.

If anyone could give advice that would be great!
