Civic holiday?

And yeah country side scenery is such a soul filler. I love talking long walks (at first I'm forced to but when I accept my fate hours in it's truly peaceful)

Last one is my favourite. You have such a knack for making characters pop with pencil. Illustrative stuff. Raven is also a good one

I think at this point so long as the 'executive decisions' lead to the completion of the sentai arc there'll only be confetti and champagne. I'm starting to feel the shameburn of not working at this fast enough to already have reached that stage haha.

It won't boot. Everythings working but I suspect my harddrive kO. It's a self built PC so the other partz should be okay. I need a new harddrive.

And I was also going to watch Stranger Things. Chikuso. Good thing there's a Netflix app though

My computer has committed sudoku and isn't working anymore just when I needed it to get stuff done artwise and schoolwise. Remember to back up your things, kids.

That being said I'll just double down on my regimens and find other ways to work it out. Man I wish I was rich I'd have ordered a new PC on the spot like a baws

Holy crap you're hitting 200s soon. Your clean up WIP project is just aces, suuper. You're almost tempting me to make a pass at  my past drawings and improve them where possible.

Also frills make the world go round haha. Cute pose too

Doooo eeeeeeet, I'd love to see you do any one of my characters again. And like promised on my side I want to draw one of yours as well haha.

I'm finally hitting the level that I want. The figures feel more right to draw out and it's an amazing feeling feeling like I'm improving something a bit haha. Awesomesauce

General Manga writer discussions / Re: How to be organised when writing your story?

« on: July 30, 2019, 05:18:50 PM »

There was a time I had this problem and I was looking for a writing software that did the trick for me, but I found myself going the opposite direction overtime: The less clutter I had the better I was at producing a story. I ended up from using and lovign Microsoft Word and other word processors with extra features to using wordpad, which was also a parallel to me using microsoft paint in the end. Simplicity and streamlining is what does it for me.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't love the hell out of a wiki, though. I should probably make one for stories I like haha.

So what I would want in such a software

1- linking abilities. This is the selling point of any wiki, finding a word that is highlighted that'll lead to another page.

2- Chapter outlines . This is the best perspective a writer can view their finished product in. It has nothing to do with how good the story is or characterisation but it does a good job of forcing the writer to know what the plan is for



But to be honest I subscribe to a more loose style of storytelling. I believe that so long as you have raw materials it's impossible for a story not to take place. I think Umberto Eco said this: As soon as you read 'There was a fisherman by the lake' You already have a story developing. Is the fisherman fishing? Is he not? Why not? Why yes? Is he hungry? Is he alone? What does the lake look like? What time of day is it?

I basically 'feel out' my stories rather than plan them through and through. But it's very easy to see the disadvantages of this in relation to how my drawings turn out: Without structure you don't have a reliable amount of accuracy. People love to notice inconsistencies and obvious things like forgetting where a character was in time or place throw off a reader badly.

That being said I think you should definitely write a story with your level of organization in mind. Also, because you're also training your art you should consider making imagery to fill up your 'wiki' or software to give you the practice in thumbnails and the like.



I'm dreaming of an awesome story pitch where you let potential readers navigate your wiki to see if they're interested in the narrative. That'd be pretty cool (spoiler-y, but cool.)

Man she looks so filled out. Great work there suuper! Your clothing stuff is truly on point and the underlying body is doing wonders for the structure. She looks great

Sorry Krislalev no links until you hit 20 posts.

Also you posted another topic in the art gallery. Like Coryn said please remember to keep everything in one board for simplicities sake. If you have an actual manga project you can post the images in Manga Creations board with the title of the project itself.

I just discovered it comes from an rpg called marikin online 4. I need to learn japanese haha. There's a whole community for it making art in this style and it was made with RPG maker. You should check it out

Thankee Echo, and she looks really good haha! The colours work well and I just love the outfit.


















I've found focusing on the limbs alone is making thinking of the figures easier. Slants, random proportions and a lack of theme are hellish though. I need to pace myself a little.
