looks pretty good
cool face on the little fella on the bottom left and good rendering on the pants and the belt or whatever that is of the guy on the right

but he kind of blends into the background and it's pretty flat overall
need to keep the rendering quality consistent for all elements and break it apart from different elements so it's not all samey

Quick lucy sketch. I was drawing a lot but gave it a pause for a few days because I'm also working on a side project related to a game. Coding is so gay, is always basically impossible until you actually learn how it works than it becomes mind numbing shit.

Zombie girl in progress Batman.
Pretty happy with the clothes, only have a basic colour blockout for the skin and hair so far. Haven't even touched the gore bits or facial features yet.
Might need to add some seams to the front side of the jacket, it looks less interesting than the back and women's outfits tend to have them anyway.

Been toying with doing my own version of the little mermaid. My take has her and the prince being very well acquainted, it’s just that they’ve never seen each other (although she did lie and say she’s a peasant girl from his kingdom, rather than a princess mermaid).

I have no idea of that comic, unless you are speaking of that one were the guy is taken by a giant flyn thing, and then is all a temporal lop.

Not yet, but it would be stupid to think that it won't be able to nearly everything in 5 years. It's just so demotivating. Nothing any of us can do to stop it though so I guess I'll either draw or leave the thread.
--- 136652110
>>136649938
I mean with that logic why learn anything is someone else is goin to be better? 
I belibe that one must learn if one wants to make, if you dont wish to make just dont learn, but the point of doing someting yourself is that YOU do it.
See i was playing with nemu waifu maker and made pic relate, but i also draw >>136647207 and >>136642527, and i enjoy the fact that i made both.

>>136652110
>I mean with that logic why learn anything is someone else is goin to be better?
It's not about that, of course there will be people better than me. It's that my time learning may prove useless if there are no longer any, or only a handful of art jobs.

>>136654452
I'll be honest bro I didn't notice they were different styles and thought they were triplets at first until I read your post. That said it looks good and animatable, and after looking at the very minor differences I think the middle is the best imo. I think you are better than /beg/ as well. What is your project about?

Nah, that's just bad artist cope. Learn to have more confidence in your shapes by practicing gestures, also, try drawing with pen instead, it'll help you worry less about small mistakes and focus on the overall image.

Hey anon, if you want I can try and redline some things for you, but I think you should work on other concepts as well as expression. Expression is hard, especially facial ones, and I think you'd benefit from anatomy/figure study.

I have one 15 page comic totally finshed 

Another 12 page one that's soon to be done 

And five pager that I am scripting this weekend

And then I will start work on a 100 page miniseries.

My question is, where do I release all this stuff? At one point I thought webtoons but after studying that platform I feel my comics aren't a good fit for it, even converted, when I penetrate the webtoons market it would have to be with a project custom designed for it.

But that begs the question, where do I release western style comics online?
The idea is to get Patreon money and then eventually build up enough of a fan base that I can do a print rerelease with Image, like Ava's Demons and Kill Six Billion Demons did, and hopefully from there crawl my way up to more high paying gigs. (Less so for profit and more so I can afford to pay more artists to draw longer projects)

Could someone more experienced than me give some insight please?

Then learn how to use tools (like ai) properly. Maybe use it to find a rendering style inspiration. Maybe use it to find a pose. Maybe use it to mimic an art style. Just use it in your art like one would paint or sketch. You don't present a pencil to a client and claim it's the finished art piece of a dinosaur at a birthday party they asked for.

Set up a personal website to be your home base with everything in one place. From there you can share on other sites with links redirecting back to your main site. A personal site is the best option to keep the most control over every part of your work. Like you noticed with webtoon different platforms tend to be made in ways that may not be a good fit for your own projects. You may still want to consider using them on the side but should avoid putting all your eggs in one basket.

There are a lot of guides for setting up a personal website with some tailored to webcomics. Consider if there are any sites you like the layout of and could use as a template for your own. There are cheap and free options for web hosting which are fine if you're just starting out and willing to learn a little bit of code. Higher paid options usually have more features like a built in website builder and data analytics but I'd recommend getting a feel for what you want before spending a lot of money. Wordpress and comicfury are free options if you need an idea of where to start.

You are not likely to get any patreons until you build up enough of a consistent online presence. This would be through consistent posts about your comics and engaging with other people socially. Keep in mind webcomics like Ava's Demon and KSBD built up a following over time and in a more organic way. People tend to be able to smell insincerity and desperation from a mile away.
