How I Get My Comic Ideas 

ghostchiryou yes bc that’s how a lot of people feel so it helps if ur characters can do that so they feel alive and real 😂

honestly, its a very true statement

EXACTLY

I like writing my own ideas as well and story (I just can't draw)

which webtoon?

@@Noodles0upp Haven't written it yet T T I hope to get started this summer, it was difficult since I'm in college and needed to earn money for a drawing tablet.

@@silentaria3241 I wish you good luck on your webtoon!

hey, did you end up making one 🙃

if not for someone else, write it for yourself

Fr because some i pause and im like “wait what? Who is this for..?” 😭

ik this comment was from a year ago but what helps me is to take a clichè and build apon it with your own twist

Try looking through the TV Tropes wiki

NoArtisticLimitation yeah! One of my favorite urban fantasies is the mercy Thompson series, a mechanic were-coyote who gets involved in drama with werewolves and vampires.

FnusselUndSo omg same

i am actually almost the exact thing, but I'm finally starting the story.

I would try to connect their backstories in some way or another. Or think about genres and cliches and add your own twist

W1spy Wood thanks for the tips 🙃

One word. Suspense.

Oh and a really goood monster or character idea

Look at different creepy pastas and get inspiration from them that should help

honeymilkxdits that’s a good idea. You can also look at SCP creatures and make a horror creature based on one of them.

Read Junto Ito’s stuff it does body horror well and it might inspire you Play Doki Doki Watch the Saw movies Maybe watch the third (?) final destination Read a few well known comics and see how they do the panels. Questions to ask • ask yourself what scares you. Murder hornets sound scary to me so that can be something... • now do you want psychological horror, body horror, cosmic horror, simple Hollywood horror or a sub genre I don’t know about? • now what’s the best way to keep your readers up at night? Are you going to make them question everything about themselves because the real horror is inside them all along? Are you going to make the horror something unpreventable? Are your readers going to go “pfft I could beat that thing”? Specific horror advice: - sometimes there is *more horror* in not knowing what happened than knowing what happened - your heroes should not “really” win. (They may have won a battle but they didn’t win the war kind of thing or they just lost the war completely. However a human beating an elder god makes the elder god look less scary even though it eats babies or something) - use your human character’s dark sides. What’s scarier? Murder hornets coming to the US on accident or robot bees made by a serial killer with the same lethality. For comics in general: • Your Key frames/big plot points need to be the biggest panels. • You panels don’t have to be clean squares. You can cut them in half, elongate them, throw circles in there. But do it for your STORY not because it looks cool. • DESIGN YOUR CHARACTERS SO THAT THEY ARE SIMPLE AND MAKE A REFERENCE SHEET • DO NOT PUT FIFTY ACCESSORIES AND FRECKLES ON THEM • Draw landscapes • Experiment with bubbles. You can write like this: (you can write like this...) or (you...) (can...) (write like....) (this.......) Two different moods keep that in mind. • EVEN IF YOU ARE DRAWING THE COMIC PLEASE WRITE A SCRIPT AND EVEN IF IT SAYS “big camera on top right man in center” IT IS BETTER THAN NOTHING The guy in the video (don’t hurt me I don’t know his name) probably has better advice and may have said this but I hope it helps

Dude I imagine my OCs having Tiktok accounts

Not *too* much Angst. Everyone loves a good hurt/comfort too. And fluff. And romance.

Same

Preeeeeeetty much

I took a creative writing class in high school thinking they were gonna teach writing techniques, plot structure, and other such things. It was literally either writing prompts or no prompt writing with limitations in format.

I take prompts and somehow twist them into my ideas of a completely different fantasy-adventure genre out of them lol. So they really suck. It’s just another limitation and more effort I have to put into writing.

Clip studio paint I think

It’s Photoshop.

Thankyou

Sometimes you don’t learn from reading itself. You can only learn how to write by practicing. No amount of reading is going to prepare you for the emotional rollercoaster that is writing.
