Comic Genesis Forums

I came up with the idea for my comic about three years ago. It started off as an idea for a novel as opposed to a comic, but I like drawing so that's how that happened. I knew how many main characters I wanted to include, although it took a really long time for their personalities to flesh out more ...

Right so I'm at college, and in the interest of keeping space spacious and limiting the potential for clutter I didn't bring my paint with me. Just colored in a page, but all I gots was colored pencils and crayons. To make it look less like crap, I went over all the colored penciled parts a second t...

I'm fairly new to the world of coloring stuff and making my work actually presentable, but I think the reason a lot of people avoid Sharpie is that it turns green after a while. I think that depends on what paper you're using because I haven't noticed it myself yet, but I just wanted to mention it i...

I'm sure the powers that be are doing what they can to solve the problem. In the meantime, just hang on to your patience hat, since it looks like it might take a while- that list grows by the handful every day. We (you, me, them, everybody included on the list) can always just work on our comics and...

I know what you're talking about. So far I've been safe with the story I'm working on now (knock on wood), but there's been times in the past where I take a look at something I've worked on for a long time and wonder if it's even worth it anymore. There's two sides to this, though. Sometimes it can ...

Haha, thanks for the replies, all. It's things I already knew in my head, mostly, but hearing them from other people is helpful nonetheless. Things have gotten a little better since I've been away from the drawing board, and I decided to rewrite the first few pages that I was originally so keen on u...

When I have to organize a story script that has multiple storylines, sometimes I get really confused and have a tough time making sure certain plot points line up, or making sure I don't spend too much time on certain storylines to the neglect of others. What I do is a little extensive, but it's hel...

I resolve not to give up on my comic two months after I upload it. Because I really, really would be annoyed at myself if that happens.
Of course... this also requires for me to have a website first. So I am in resolution limbo, for now.

(Not sure which forum this would really fall into) Shoot. I was doing really well for a while there. Every day I was either sketching, inking, or coloring some page of my strip (yet to be uploaded) in order to build up a good backlog. Part of the reason for this is because I don't have my site up ye...

Hi others :D Technically this is my second post... would have been my third but my internets ate my attempted first post in one of the forums, bah. Don't have my comic up & running yet but all things take time. This will be my first time having my work published online in any fashion- up until now e...
