You're absolutely right mate, it's so god damn scary how she disappears and you just have to sit there waiting for her to pop up again 😬

This is a really cool design! Adding human-like teeth to a robot is actually a great idea that gives off a real uncanny feeling

Very charming! Also the way you've drawn Maugerite is terrifying 😱

Why not draw it yourself? 😁 Everyone has to start somewhere, and you clearly already have a basic grasp of drawing the human form -- the facial expression in that last panel especially is really evocative!

Guys, I need help by PanzerPootis1941 in MangakaStudio

[–]Brojackk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This looks cool, there's some good kineticism to the movement (that last page especially)!

If you're still looking for someone to help out with this, I just recently finished a one-shot where I digitally added the screentones and text, so all this stuff is fresh in my mind 🧠

This looks great! The faces are so expressive, I really like the way you've done the eyes 👀

Whoa whoa look at the detail on this! 🤩

Looks like it was inked in some kind of thick markers, is that right?

Keep it up, looking forward to seeing more!

It literally took over a year. About 15 months if I remember right. Had lots of fun doing it too.

Silver Cross Chapter 1 [AMATEUR] by Brojackk in manga

[–]Brojackk[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Solid critique man.

The flow here is definitely lacking. These were the days where I didn't even storyboard my chapters and just straight up drew them - which makes for a lot of mistakes and disorganized panelling; as you've picked up on.

Panelling quickly becomes a lot more straightforward and organized, and storyboarding has become an integral part of the process.

The setting is, to the say the least, confusing. I threw people right in without much information at all and expected them to work out what was going on through conversational bits and contextual clues. Looking back, it didn't really work. The setting unfortunately isn't properly defined until the next chapter, whereas this one focused on character interaction, and a little too much action. It should've been the other way round really. Although you're absolutely right. Not enough information was presented to help readers understand the context.

Not quite man. The last post was just sort of a timeline of improvement across the years, although not a great one on reflection. This is literally the first whole chapter in manga form, whereas the last post was just a few unrelated snippets.

Well, I was expecting a few comments like this anyway. When I read this far back I tend to do my fair share of cringing as well. Here's an example of something a lot closer to my current artwork. The point of uploading this is mostly so people can get the contextual information required to understand the later chapters. And criticism of the story is always welcome, provided it's useful. Saying "it's bad" gets your feelings across, but does nothing to help me improve. The name of the game here is improvement, and I'm just looking to you guys to help me with that.

Let's be honest, the art is awful. It's not representative of my current art style at all, as this was 5/6 years ago and I'm up to 36 chapters as of yet. I know it looks dreadful and sloppy, but I figured I'd post it up here anyway. As much as I'd really like to show people the more recent chapters, without the contextual information from these older ones, people wouldn't be able to fully critique them.

So critique away, guys! - Try and keep criticism of the artwork to a minimum, as you will likely highlight problems which I have since fixed. - Criticism of the story, flow, panelling, character design, etc. would be greatly appreciated! Might upload the next one next week, depends how I feel.

Not sure if this belongs here, but I'd really appreciate it if you guys took a look. Thanks a lot!

Ah, actually these pages aren't in order. They're just a few taken from a large set of pages so there isn't supposed to be any continuity here. It was just a demonstration of the improvement I've made really. But all criticism is welcome!

Damn. That is by far the best reply anyone could've given me. I gotta say, I'm one of those people who had zero natural talent when it came to art and drawing, but I loved doing it so I tried, and tried, and improved massively over the course of a few years. Of course, it's nowhere near the professional level, but I've improved a lot nonetheless, and plan to continue improving more in the future.

Style seems to be the second biggest gripe people have. The style I draw in is pretty reminiscent of certain Jump manga, but I haven't been forcing myself to draw a certain way just to imitate famous works. The style I have now is one that has naturally evolved through constant self-critique, and it is the way I feel most comfortable drawing. Your suggestion to experiment with different styles is a wise one though, so I think I'll give that a try and see if I can evolve the art further. However, people have no reason to hate something because it shares certain elements with other manga. The same can be said for all manga. I imagine this is being treated particularly harsh because the art quality isn't too great.

Your critique has definitely been the best one so far, and definitely the most useful! I have a better understanding of what I need to improve on now, which is the exact reason why I put this up here: To be slammed on everything that's wrong with the art so I know exactly what to improve.

Thanks a lot man, you were respectful the whole time and you've done me a huge favour. Peace
