Where's a good place to post your comics? I have an idea that I want to try.

I guess I could just make a thread here and post them, but...

And we go everywhere together

cough.

I guess this thread is as good as any. I'd take a look at the OP's webcomic too, but the link is no longer working.

Apparently one of my comics, After Zero, was moved to the Fan Fic section.

I...suppose it's more or less accurate. :/

Me, and it's heating up real quick!

Might as well post here as I do have a webcomic;

It's A Path To Greater Good (I have no clue how to insert a trope on here, it has a TV Tropes page though) found at http://neorice.com

Been working at it for a while now, it's a Fantasy pixelart (yes, self made) webcomic.

I've got my Earth Bound fan comic The Ten Family (http://forum.starmen.net/forum/Fan/Forum/COMIC-The-Ten-Family/page/1/), and I am not afraid to admit it's very unprofessional. I'm just having fun with it, though.

Is there a site that you can go to if you wanna start a webcomic but have no idea how to?

NLK:

Step 1. Draw.

Step 2. Scan.

Step 3. Put on deviant art / live journal / webcomic hosting site / site you registered.

Step 4. Realize you put all that effort into a really crappy comic.

Step 5. Get depressed.

Step 6. Die.

Uplifting.

Hey, I have a written webcomic. I am in the same category as the rest of you.

If it's crappy put more effort into it and get better.

It's not that simple. Getting better takes years just to GET somewhere where one can be considered 'readable'.

I'm trying to understand what you're getting at, but don't quite follow.

Why is it a bad thing that it takes hard work to do something of considerable skill? "good" webcomics are considered good for a reason (in most cases*); people who do them generally put a lot of effort into getting to a level people can appreciate.

I see it as a good thing that it takes years.

Because it's not something so simple as "improve"

Many people do not want to stick with a comic for years at an end on the off chance the writer is someone who is willing to and MIGHT improve.

It's a far better idea to hone skills first, publish second. Not the other way around. But people rarely have the patience for that.

You can always publish a short story or one shot, I've done art for years before I dabbled in comics and I can tell you, just getting better at art in general won't necessarily mean you'll be good at comics, meeting deadlines, updating frequently and all the other stuff that shows up when you do an actual comic, that stuff requires practice too.

People will be able to tell quite quickly if you're an artist who's actively trying to improve, because having that as an actual goal -should- become quite clear within the context of each new page.

A comic's good as long as it does what it's meant to do, and in some cases that's not popularity but training/a test of skill.

Your point?

To quote you;

"Step 4. Realize you put all that effort into a really crappy comic. Step 5. Get depressed."

This part is bull if you actually use your "crappy copic" for constructive means, rather than looking at it as a complete failure and getting depressed.

I don't see how you can go posting something that absolutely negative in a thread like this as -advice- to someone, and not expect that people might disagree with you.

Just telling people they'll fail and be depressed when they're asking for help isn't very constructive, so I figured I'd mention a few counter points.

That's my point.

How dare I make a joke. Never again!

I have a webcomic, The Way Of The Metagamer!

I actually have Penny Arcade.

About the above argument: THIS IS WHY YOU GET GOOD WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG AND TOO STUPID TO KNOW THAT YOUR STUFF SUCKS.

I'm trying to start one called Confused Continuity. I've got some sketches done.

@AHR: So, was that dedicated to anyone or me in particular?

I would have made the joke regardless of who asked.
