hi!!! how long does an average panel of one of your comics take??

i love your work so much!! it got me into silmblr hehe

HI NONNIE!!! thank u sooooso much for checking in and for ur lovely ask! it means a lot to hear that my silly ol scribbles were what introduced u to the glorious landscape that is the tolkien fandom! on tumblr no less!! i hope you stay a real long time, and have a blast while you're at it 💖💖

now onto your question! that's some good food for thought uhhhh i can try to estimate?? its been a while but i shld have some rough ideas abt each that i can share! the time frame each comic/panel takes is highly dependent on WHAT kind of comic it is. i hv two kinds of comics I usually do: 1) full-length, and 2) goofy/4koma.

i have a few full-length comics laying about in my archive, but my most recent one/best example is Ghosts which was around uh.... 7 pages excluding the bonus panels! in terms of the process, i usually divide it into 5 stages:

Drafting: this is either the fastest stage OR the slowest depending entirely whether i know what im doing LMAO,, if i have a set idea for what i want to happen, i might get drafts done in a few hours, but if i flounder, it can take a few days 🤔

Lineart: relatively simple enough once i hv the draft down, so id say anything ranging from an hour to half a day if theres nothing else going on irl

Block colouring (main actors): there are DEFINITELY easier and more professional ways to do this with mass-selection and the lasso fill/bucket tool, but idk how to do that on SAI (my art program) so i colour everything by hand HAHA which makes the process longer.... half a day to a day?

Shading: THE WORST!!! definintely my least favourite bc i find it tedious due to all the details/prettification of elves that i am legally obliged to pour into this stage 😭😭 as a result, it can take days!!!

Background + Lighting + Final Rendering: similar to the previous stage haha it just depends on how much effort i wanna put into the final product looking nice. roughly a few days? it kind of meshes with stage 4 anyways haha

just for fun, i hope this process gif for page 6 can illustrate that 👇

these are just rough estimates, bc all in all, the time it takes so finish a page is really dependent on how free I am hahaha. Also, I usually work on full-length comics like Ghost which have more than one page all at once, which means I drafted all 7 pages at once, then did the lineart for all 7 pages at once, coloured at once, shaded rendered bla bla bla 😚 iirc, i think it took me 11 days in total to finish Ghosts before the end of June last year!

For goofy/4-koma, its usually just one page with less detailed/more cartoonish/chibi character styles so it takes a day or two days at most! again, it all boils down to how free i am hehe

YEAH SORRY THIS ENDED UP BEING AN INFO DUMP but thank you so much again for asking and letting me ramble! <3 i ended up having a lot of fun looking back on my drafts n thinking back on my processes.... theres defininitely room for improvement, but thats another worry for another day heheh 😎

#rin replies #anon asks #silmarillion #yeah sorry again this turned into a yap fest 💃💃#i never knew all those wips wld come in handy but maybe its a good thing i like sending myself things hehe #cannot reiterate enough how much i HATE colouring :((((#thank you again for ur kind message nonnie <33 #silm #silm comic #wip #behind the scenes stuff

CHAPTER 2 The meeting (part 1)

L.sis: Big bro Hi!

Adrian: Hey little carrot.

Mom: she looks adorable in that dress I just remember, you in you’re little tux. back then on your first prom.

Adrian: okay you can stop now mom...

“After all that rambling of the past, I grew weary for them to realize, I was the only one left out to strive for myself just for them, but I’m not happy at all-“

Mom:so how’s work?

“At that moment my eyes wide with an nervously expression”

Adrian: i-err...uh yeah it’s good, a little hard but I’ll manage. (nervous grin)

Mom: is something bothering you? Adrian I know that look tell me the details.

(White) oh no she’s on to us! that glare again it’s frightening.

“All I know is that my mom will never back down on that question I said back then that I was going to work at a engineering industry.”

“They had that high expectations from me since the beginning, until I saw my true devotion into art.”

Adrian:sigh,(mind) I need a probable approach

Adrian: well in terms, I didn’t know it was this hard to put a lot of effort with a paperwork. and seeing you guys not here it’s been a little rough.(mind)(plz work god I’m begging you)

Mom: now I know you can do this on your own and eve-

Adrian:(mind)THANK HEAVENS SHE TOOK THE BAIT!

Mom: and your on that age son how old are you again?

Adrian:.....(chuckles) eighteen.

Mom: see eighteen I did raise you into a man. so you don’t have to be worry about that right?

Adrian: right mom.

???: or maybe he just have a girlfriend, because he’s to shy to tell

Adrian:(confused) wait what?!

Adrian: (mind) I know that voice.....

Mom: Hey nonononono what did i say? Family first right?

Adrian:Mom I Swear! I have no one here!

Mom: hmmmm are you sure?

Adrian: see for yourself jeez!

???: maybe he’s hiding her.

Adrian: real mature sis, yet you keep hiding all these secret guys every night back then.

“Mom looks at my big sister with a big disappointment”

Sis: Mom I swear He’s Lying!

Mom: sigh I don’t want to hear about it just as I said family first right.

Sis: Fine...

Adrian: yes mom family first.

Mom: now that’s it for now just remember i said d-

Adrian: don’t talk to strangers and family first.

Mom: huh.....you always forgetting those but you did it! Maybe you are hiding a girlfriend there.

Adrian:(blushed) MOM! Seriously??

Mom: Good enough, hahaha i’m just messing with you love you bye! (call ended)

Adrian: phew*

(Orange):.........

Adrian: what?

(Orange) Drinks are on me!

Adrian: who put you in charge?

(Orange): Who cares I need a break after that.

(Blue): but you always took-

Orange silences blue for a moment.

Adrian: it’s noon now i’ll get ramen

(Orange): ugh! whats with you and food brought outside? than there’s food in the fridge?!

(White):He has a point.

(Orange): see he gets me.

(White): u-uh I’m not always....

Adrian: I like the walk and it’s ramen who doesn’t love ramen?

(Green): unhealthy....food

Adrian:this is my own body and just i need a moment of silence capisce?

And like that they vanished into thin air. back in my mind as I battle this onto myself.

(20 mins later)

On a cafe siting alone while most people are with someone. it hurts but it’s fine at the same time.

Adrian:(mind) to think someone here is friendly enough to talk to this guy.

While i watch the news of a gang raid again over 30 people missing as they blurred the corpse just laying there.

Adrian: (mind) somebody’s got to do something, too bad it’s not me.

I was lost in thought, not knowing theres was someone right next to me. so I ignored whoever they are until.

(Snap, snap)

???: hello?

Adrian: oh uhm Hi.. yeah.

As i look ahead there face it was a girl. I was shock and embarrassed at the same time.

Adrian:(mind) ugh wait who am I kidding! she’s just here for the chair to think she has the nerve to talk to me.

???: i was wondering if-

Adrian:(mind) I knew it.

(Blue): I’m not sure “A” I think...

???: to have a seat here?

Adrian:.......(mind) wait what?

(Orange): hoho boy now that’s a doozie.

Adrian:ye-yeah ahem* sure I g-guess,(mind) wait why is she here? this came in a wrong way or maybe she’s onto us? or maybe not just be smooth, “A”be smooth.

Adrian: (trying a smooth expression to break the awkward silence) so..... new here?

Blue had figured this happened so he wouldn’t help him this time

???: actually yeah I’m looking for my friend so I’ll just wait here since all the seats are full with people.

Adrian: .....

(Red): HAHAHAHA!

(Author: acts smoothly but realized the situation is he in I don’t know on gods green earth that he is panicking from the inside)

(Blue): well that was “smooth”

Red drastically laughs while orange thumbs up with my little effort and white...

(White): (is not responding and wants to die right now)

???: well while I’m waiting hehe could I asked your name?

Adrian: oh yeah my names adrian.

As the girl gives a handshake.

???: my names cassandra.

Adrian: and you’re friend?

Cass: well i call her france.

Adrian: that’s an odd name.

Cass: but she likes that more than her real name.

Adrian: oh then i won’t mind at all.

(Orange): (puts both hands near his mouth) Real Smooth!

“I stared back at him in disgust”

Adrian: so are you taking a job here? Cassandra.

Cass: you could say that in the meantime i just moved in this city with my family.

Adrian: then you’re new here since?

Cass: a month, (she smiled) but this city is still confusing to go around.

Adrian: well yeah it is its still a big city and all.

Cass: but since i live back then on my town it’s more beautiful than here.

Adrian: fascinated?

Cass: oh and can I ask if you’re new here too since you look like you new also and that well alone

Adrian: well about last 2 months i was here but just on my own

Cass: well at least faith lead us here to talk right?

Adrian: well yeah indeed,(mind) but faith is a bitch against me.

After few questions panels, it has been 30 mins had passed. yet cassandra’s friend didn’t came to see her.

(Blue): Hmmm interesting.

(Red): you don’t say she....

(Blue): maybe but i have doub- or maybe not I expected 20 mins.

(White): we cant keep this up I’m getting too much of this!

(Green): the timid one is right.

(Orange): can we go home?

After all the information in conclusion france never came.

Adrian: well I’ll take a leave now since you still have someone waiting for you.

Cass: wait she just texted me she said change of plans.

Adrian:(mind) oh shit why you didn’t tell me?

As adrian looks at blue at the counter with the others. Blue just shakes his head.

“As I look back at her, her expression is enough to know she’s sad,even if she’s hiding it.”

(Blue): you have to do, what you have to.

Adrian: sigh fine...

Adrian: hey cassandra wanna at least walk with me for a bit?

Cass: yes i could but at the pier with me its easier to get home from there.

Adrian: huh....sure thing.

To be continued.....

May 13th-May 19th, 2020 Reader Favorites Archive

The archive for the Reader Favorites chat that occurred from May 13th, 2020 to May 19th, 2020. The chat focused on the following question:

Which comic has your all-time favorite artwork, and why do you like it?

carcarchu

Oh yes i can say this with certainty but the webcomic with my all-time favourite artwork by far is 榴花不及春 https://www.manmanapp.com/comic-1404769.html. it's not just that the art is beautiful but the way the artists create mood and tone is just jaw-dropping. I actually got chills a few times while reading it from the art alone and that's not something that i can recall happening when reading a lot of webcomics, or actually any fiction in general. there's such a elegance to the line weight and movement of the art that brings life to the characters. the artists' use of lighting adds such depth to the scenes, sometimes creating a warm and inviting atmosphere and other times a haunting and foreboding chill. the time i've spent with this comic is not something i'll soon forget(edited)

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

This is such a difficult question for me. Gahhh, so many pretty comics out there.... I guess, in regards to artwork alone, my favorite is the 2015 version of Countdown to Countdown by Vel. (https://tapas.io/series/Countdown) Just... such beautiful work. I'm a sucker for detailed painterly styles I will admit, but also the color and lighting is phenomenal. The way Vel sets up the mood with color and movement is amazing. The textures and brush strokes are simply gorgeous! Unfortunately, Vel rebooted the comic to a new style last year, and while it is still really gorgeous, I must admit, I don't like it nearly as much as the original. (What can I say? I have a bias for painterly styles.) Still highly recommend it! (https://tapas.io/series/CTC) I do want to point out some honorable mentions for me: * Ghostblade by WLOP (https://tapas.io/series/GhostBlade) - another painterly comic * The Sixth Dalai Lama by Ze Zhao (https://tapas.io/series/thesixthdalailama) - discontinued as far as I'm aware, but painted traditionally with watercolor! * Wind Rose by Sfera (https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/wind-rose/list?title_no=54306) - Painterly again (later on as the artist improved) but also great expressions I will say, I also love deliciously detailed lineart, but I don't see it a lot (especially in webcomics), and I cannot think of one right now :/(edited)

carcarchu

ahh ghost blade is a great choice @Cronaj (Whispers of the Past) and while i agree that countdown to countdown's new art isn't as sumptuous as it used to be for a comic it works better and the simpler art style allows vel to release at a more consistent rate without injuring herself so i really respect the change(edited)

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Yeah, definitely understand why they changed styles, because oml can a painterly style be taxing

DanitheCarutor

I can't pick just one! But to start off I love the art of Lost Honey (https://www.losthoney.com/), everything about it is so soft, the linework, the colors the character designs, the panelling, it all has such a nice feel to it. The creator's use of color is sooo easy on the eyes, it fits so well with the comic. The linework has such a nice flow and movement, there is never a feeling of stiffness, it almost reminds me of water. Also I'm a complete sucker for traditionally drawn comics. Even though it's discontinued as far as I know, Thicker Than Blood also has really nice aesthetics! (https://tapas.io/series/Thicker-Than-Blood-), it has such a unique style almost like classical art mixed with glass. The designs are detailed yet highly stylized. The quality varied from time to time, given the amount of work that goes into them, but overall I really liked the look of this comic. Carciphona is another one I like aesthetically. (https://tapas.io/series/carciphona) The art of this one has improved immensely since it started, and while I'm not a fan of the look of the earlier pages, I'm loving how their work has evolved. The style is very Japanese inspired, there is a lot going on sometimes, but has its own unique look and is very well crafted. Also I love the action scenes, how they're handled makes the scenes look intense, sometimes grandiose.(edited)

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Oh my god I love carciphona’s art! I always get shilin’s art whenever she sells at Anime North I’ve been meaning to read carciphona for a while so thanks for reminding me!

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

Hands down it is Black Out Cityhttp://blackoutcity.ca/lvl10.php Jay does these amazing illustrative panels when they introduce a new chapter and it has me hooked on each update! The way that the title is incorporated within the panel is beautifully done, and their attention to detail and effective use of contrast is breath taking. Definitely a huge inspiration of mine! I also want to shout out to O'Sarilho by @Capitania do Azar . The palettes she uses are unique and dynamic, and the layouts read like the comic is animated (there's even animated parts in it!) the way she draws action and portrays horrific parts is phenomenal!https://sarilho.net/en/

(also i love this prompt but i could def go on forever with it hehe)

Deo101 [Millennium]

I wholeheartedly second O'sarilho ^^ it's a comic I regularly reccomend and I probably won't ever get over how lovely it looks! (I'll have to look for more comics who's art I love later)(edited)

LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)

I'll throw in Heart of Gold https://heartofgoldcomic.com/. The ethereal palette, the clean and crisp architecture, the panels that work perfectly with the church imagery, and the energy of the lines and brush strokes. SO GOOD.

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

I agreEE

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Okay for me it's two webcomics One of them is Tracy JB's Lackadaisy https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/lackadaisy/list?title_no=39790&page=1 https://www.lackadaisycats.com/ Everything she does is wonderful; colour, expression, character, plot.....her art inspired me to embark on expression work. I remember being younger and being so inspired by her webcomic. Hands down can't find a flaw. The other one is Muted by anidoodles https://www.webtoons.com/en/supernatural/muted/list?title_no=1566 I was introduced to her from her Heather animatics on youtube. I love how her inking and cell shading is simple but VERY effective; the use of bold bright colours and watercolours was amazing. My art style is heavily inspired by hers and overall, I love how she captures people's attention with it.(edited)

Miranda

Oh I love Muted!

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

looks at your profile pic heheh

Miranda

I mean, I'd have to say I love "Nothing Special" by Katie Cook. Her art style and color scheme is just easy on the eyes and I love her intricate filled backgrounds. https://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/nothing-special/list?title_no=1188&page=1 Phantomarine is another favorite. I absolutely love the painted look and it's been inspiring my newer pages. Every page is just a work of art and I love the color choices and just everything about it. http://www.phantomarine.com/

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

PHANTOMARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE

sssfrs (JOE IS DEAD)

I’m also going to say Phantomarine

Theres also one I found recently called Bybloemen that has a really cool art style

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

ohhh Bybloemen is gorgeous and is so up your alley Sssfrs!

sssfrs (JOE IS DEAD)

Its so good

LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)

Woah, it's like woodcuts!! I like it!

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

Ooh this is a hard choice since I see beautiful webcomic art alot. Recently my favorite art and coloring style I've been inspired by are: - The Glass Scientists https://www.theglassscientists.com/ Some of the pages are well executed, I like the character designs, fantasy with alchemists, werewolves and more. Ghost Teller https://www.webtoons.com/en/horror/ghost-teller/list?title_no=1307 I enjoy QTT use of gradient coloring and spooky atmosphere, it looks like alot of time were used to make each strip. I like how the characters are linked to each story, it's not as spooky as more dramatic. They are all short stories Gourmet Hound: https://www.webtoons.com/en/drama/gourmet-hound/list?title_no=1245 When I think of slice of life with a soft pleasant color palette, this story comes in mind. I like to refer to her work as well as other SoL comics for inspiration on coloring.(edited)

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

@carcarchu ooh I love the different comics you recommend. It's always unique and pretty. I hope there's a tranlation strip for '榴花不及春'(edited)

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

GOURMET HOUND

IM SO HAPPY ITS HERE

chalcara [Nyx+Nyssa]

Funnily, the webcomic with my all-time favourite art is Order of the Stick. Love how much expression and narrative work this simple style does.

RebelVampire

Definitely Rising Sand https://risingsand.glass/. The art is immensely detailed in ways that are relevant to the world and story, has beautiful color choices, beautiful compositions, amazing light effects, great backgrounds, and so on. And just overall the skill level is so high I'd need another 20 years experience with art to even be able to begin to point out a single flaw.

LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)

^Ooh yes! I don’t know how Rising Sand keeps that quality so high. From their posts, it seems like a bit of a nightmare sometimes But the end product is like its own animated film!

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

Omg I'm often in awe with those artists making high quality art that looks like it belongs in graphic novels or film. I can imagine those big details will take alot of time to put together. (edited)

I once happen to meet the creators for Rising Sand. Very passionate writer and artist team who have quite some experiences and strong teamwork. (Life goals!)

Eightfish (Puppeteer)

so many comics to check out :0

Deo101 [Millennium]

wow rising sand is really gorgeous

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Whoa rising sand is really good

actually reminds me of Tigress Queen by Allidraws https://www.tigressqueen.com/comic/page-0001(edited)

especially the parts where she draws glass and architecture it's very vibrant and full of life

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

Gosh I realized I have a trend of loving slice of life stories, so I might end up recommending that genre afew times!

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

(don't forget webcomic_recs for recommending good comics in general outside of the weekly topic!)

Unfortunately Korean-only at this time, but I am in awe of the art in this comic. It's not very polished, but you can tell the artist really knows what he's doing in terms of anatomy, perspective and composition. https://comic.naver.com/webtoon/list.nhn?titleId=701535&weekday=wed

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

oops I remembered that, I'll go repost there instead. Thanks Keii. Wow that comic(edited)

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

I really want to read more Korean and Chinese webcomics, they have a different vibe and story atmosphere. I enjoy looking into them as inspiration on how to stage my webtoon scenes.(edited)

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

Hmmmm, I wouldn't recommend the one above for how to make vertical scroll comics. That one was originally made for print and then adapted afterward, and it shows.

Still absolutely amazing action art, though!

Holmeaa - working on WAYFINDERS

@LadyLazuli (Phantomarine) Heart of Gold is SO beautiful! I agree with you 100 procent!

I will add The Ocean Soul. Holey damn this comic is SO gorgeous!!!! https://tapas.io/series/The-Ocean-Soul

Javi

Gonna add this before this prompt changes. I think Oren's Forge has the best artwork I've ever seen done in a webcomic. Every panel has a setting that's so bold and pristine in color, layout, and background that it begs to be animated. Every color used paints a different mood to show character development and the style of the characters is so stylized and interesting to look at. Even the story is interesting enough that it gets you hooked and wondering what will happen next. Also talking animals, what more can I say? :) There's more discussion in FurAffinity than there is on Tapas so I'm putting two links https://m.tapas.io/series/OrensForge https://www.furaffinity.net/full/18260576/
