By Popular Demand: A Comic! About Me!!
Since a few people seemed to be tickled by my stupid doodles in a recent post, I thought it might be a good idea to actually keep that sort of thing up?
Though lets be real here, I have no idea wtf I'm doing LMAO
In other news, #painting is totally not the tag I would have chosen for the ChainBB art tag. Cuz that implies paint was used.
But w/e.
I love that I can view my profile in the forums now, tho LOL.
LOL this perfectly explains how I'm feeling at the moment. I get my pencil and paper ready....but nothing comes out! So frustrating sometimes. Muse~ where are you??? Can't wait to get some of my art posted, but the perfectionist in me wont allow just simple doodles ._.
By the way, what did you use to create this comic? Loving your style!
Ahaha, I actually have the inverse problem! I feel compelled to make big, amazing things, but I'm prone to lethargy and lose interest before I manage to get much done.
I used Clip Studio Paint and a Wacom Intuos graphics tablet! ^ v ^)
And thank you! I'm glad you like it~♡
Hey, that's awesome:) I hope you'll make more of thouse:)
Well, I'll defenately try, if nothing else!
I have to read your blog. Very good post...
I like the story you made it.
Amazing
Nice to meet you...
I hope you will visit to my blog to
Lol bro keep it up...
yeah it happens to me all the time when i'm drawing a new comic hahah
It's really the worst thing, LMAO XD
That's why a lot of successful comics have a writer and an artist working together. I'm happy to help with ideas, if you guys have the dreaded writer's block...
Lol I usually take requests when I have artists/writer's block!
But requests are postponed right now so I can get a few other things done.
But I really like doing requests cuz I'm usually more inspired to make something really cool.
And... now I know that you only got a B+ in astronomy (your parents must be so disappointed). I'm a Sagittarius,btw...
...
Just kidding, I know what astronomy is.
When I was really young there was a retired German astronomer that used to visit my grandfather's hotel in Mauritius every year. He used to go up to the roof and plot out the stars by hand. I still have the star maps (not sure what they're called) packed away somewhere, but I'll try to get some scans if you're interested.
I actually wanted to study astronomy but I was born in the wrong country, I guess and I ended up with physics instead (bleh). I still love to read about it though, it's the most interesting science IMHO because everything you learn just shows you how little you actually know.
LOL the grade was so high that my teacher decided to put it as an A anyway, so... XD le shrug
But no lie, my dad would have legit keel-hauled me, omg
Oh
My
GOSH
YOU HAVE STAR CHARTS??
YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY POST THEM, THAT IS SO COOL!!!
Star Charts, Star Maps, same basic thing omg
Also, I know it's not really the same thing, but you could always study astronomy online! :0
**also, sorry for the late reply, it's easy to miss these things on Steemit cuz they get buried oeL;;;
ALSO, SAGGITTARIUS FOR THE WIIIIIIIN!!! /high-fives/
How about if you lay it out like this and add a sexy title...
nods head
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
taps chin thoughtfully
gets up
goes to get some hot cocoa
comes and sits back down
takes a sip
does a spit-take
WH-WHAAAT IS WITH THE TITLE??? XDDD
I'm seriously choking, like what
Also, if I was worried about panel layout, that's not really how I'd go about doing it...
I literally sat down and re-drew the first part of the comic with a new layout, though I don't think I'll do the second part, because the re-draw is kinda more sappy?? So it makes the joke weird lol.
Anyway, I'm going around getting back on track with replying to everybody, both on here and deviantART, I'll send you a link when I'm done with the redraw LOL.
Haha yeah, I was just trying to think of a title to get people's attention (I used to work in a production house making tv commercials so I guess old habit die hard)
Yeah, I totally didn't mean for you to use my layout, just wanted to inspire you to think about the presentation a little. Then I saw your next comic on my phone (on eSteem) and the vertical layout actually works really well on the phone's sceen. My layout is more like a newspaper comic, so yeah, it's really not ideal.
This is the pic that made me think you've got potential for a hit comic - it describes the steem experience perfectly...
That title wouldn't really be "to get people's attention", it would be click-bait because that title literally had nothing to do with the comic itself.
Again, if... I was really concerned with presentation, I wouldn't be making doodles. I'd be doing something a bit more like this.
But yeah, that's kinda always been the appeal of doodle-comics, especially like on Tumblr, where the whole site is based around scrolling, having it laid out like that is pretty common there.
Not to mention, most of what I know about comics I learned from reading a lot of manga, and when they have the simple comic strips like these, they're always vertical, not horizontal.
They're also usually 4 panels tho LMAO
They're called 4-komas
Honestly, the biggest problem with Steemit is that people on here... really like to talk about Steemit. I've made a handful of posts recently about Steemit just cuz it was relevant to what I was thinking about at the time, but if people are expecting a lot of Steemit-related content from me, they're gonna have a bad time lol.
I'm really glad to hear that, actually - When I started this thread, my feed was full of borning crytpo garbage so this was my way of trying to improve that. It hasn't even been a week and already I have a lot less steemit fanbois and much more interesting stuff to read (artists also tend to be interesting writers as well)
Don't read too much into my comments about the presentation and the layout. I just wanted to encourage and inspire you to post more. (hopefully I've done that at least a little)
I actually haven't read a lot of manga at all (although I loved Elfin Lied) and I was thinking more about the webcomics I read, like sinfest and penny arcade.
I'm a fan no matter what layout and style you choose, as long as you keep posting I'm happy...
flails YES, THE BORING CRYPTO STUFF, OMG
I wandered over to Twitter and forgot to post for a while... So I started following a couple Steemit Twitters so I'd have reminders, and was like THE TECHNOBABBLE. WHY THE TECHNOBABBLE.
And quickly unfollowed them and got kinda depressed tbh u_u)
You did encourage me, though! :D I'm kind of a wishy-washy person tho, so sometimes I have a hard time sticking to things u_u)
And then I get depressed cuz I feel like a failure oeL
I'm still trying to figure out what I'm even doing with myself?? But I'll figure it out LOL
That's funny lol, I haven't read a lot of webcomics XD My bro talks about them sometimes, tho! Especially Housepets and
Uh
What's it called
It's basically like a female spiderman... sorta... and it's a really weird story?
Idk, I'll ask him in the morning and let you know LOL
; w ;) I was actually going on hiatus b/c I feel weird about the fact that I've started posting fanart.
But now I feel bad for leaving, ugh. Especially cuz I finally got somebody to join and stick around and I'm like I GOTTA HELP THE NEWBIE, FLSJLFJSLJLFSFL
Tho if I can get myself to focus on it, I think I'd like to post about this [cute little raccoon guy] I made recently!
I haven't forgotten about you but I've been really busy on this new project. It's a video series for steem - "boring crypto stuff" haha but with some motion graphics by me. We just posted the intro video:
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@starkerz/decentralize-in-5-introduction-spreading-blockchain-tech-to-newbys
Ooh! Well I like the graphics, though the info is all stuff I p much already knew about XD
But omigosh SERIOUSLY APPRECIATE THE 5 MINUTE VIDEO. Some people like to make their videos so LOOOONG and I just CAN NOT SIT THROUGH IT. Either because my internet just won't load it or because I just. No interest. Ugh XD;
Your video is a nice TL;DW version for newbies, tho! XDD
I wish ya luck on your new series! :D
[BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT A POWERED-UP POST, AAAH;;;;]
