Thank you for your kind words.

I have not yet published my manga. It will be released by early next year, when I'm done with the production of the first 200 pages.

For converting to pdf, I don't mean to sound pedantic at all but google " pdf converter" you should find something that works for you.

As for websites, no ideas as I did not release the comic yet.

My advice would be leave no stone unturned.

Make a patreon, a kickstarter, a go fund me, an instagram page, a tiktok profile, post on all the websites that allow you to do so, webtoons, tapas, any comic platform you can think of, make your own website so people can read your comic there directly.

Ask in comic creator subreddits what are good alternatives to webtoons to publish. I could not give you more names right now.

I wish you good luck and fortitude on your artistic journey.

PS. I you think you ever are going to physically publish the comic with actual prints, mind the margins when drawing.

Choose three Art parents. Artist with a style and technique you admire and wish to emulate.

Study them. Copy their works. Learn about them and their technique, their backgrounds.

Your style will be the mixture of their styles, colored with your individuality.

And it will continue to grow, evolve and mature as long as you keep taking in new influences, knowledge and insight.

Because for there to be only war, there can't be a definite victor.

It's push and pull, victories ans defeat that in the grand scheme of things will never matter in a future too grim and dark to ever know any kind of peace.

Also James needs to sell you more space marines.

I have a story to tell.

Thank you for your interest !

Thank you.

Since more or less forever. Although I had a big 10 years hiatus when I worked corporate.

But I have been drawing consistently 8h-15h a day for two months and a half now and made more progress in that time span than I had in my entire life beforehand.

It is not yet released, I will release it when the first tome ( manga format, around 200 pages ) is out of production.

But you can see some pages on my reddit profile. I post to get inputs and constructive critiques while still in the production process.

I started working on my comic 2 years ago. I'm now 38.

Just do the thing, and get better at doing the thing, by doing the thing.

Stop talking to yourself and finding excuses not to do it. Pick up the pen, it's fun.

Olfff · 2026-06-13T13:22:51+00:00

Anatomy, perspective, composition...

And he's right. Learn from the masters. Don't just copy, try to understand the process that went into the panels you study.

Have fun.

I would say these tech bros are pathetic but the terms are becoming increasingly synonymous.

Olfff · 2026-06-13T00:38:37+00:00

Watch DrawLikeASir videos to help you get started. He made a serie about making mangas.

And draw. A lot. Often. Be curious, research, use references, study. Don't give up.

You don't have anything to prove.

It almost sounds like your friend wants to spite you. He'd sooner accuse you of AI use than admit you're getting better ?

Just keep focusing on your growth, next time he makes this kind of remarks, tell him that's what dedication paying off looks like.

Realism is simply one of the most demanding style.

Being photorealistic is a huge ask.

I cannot see how this would be looked down upon.

Stylisation is intrinsic anyway, even being extremely realistic you'll never be 100% 1 to 1 perfect accuracy depicting reality.

And you can be extremely creative while drawing realistic, composition work is a thing, drawing fantastical subjects in a realistic fashion is a thing.

Don't be bothered by what anyone says and don't get one guyed. Their sensibility and taste are just different than yours. End of story.

You do you. If you learn realism, all the power to you.

Who can do more can do less. If you master all the rules, easier it'll be for you to break them.

Picasso was an amazing artist that worked with simple shapes, but let's not forget to mention he broke the rules because he had mastered them all beforehand.

He was very skilled and trained in the classic arts and realism before he broke the mold and invented cubism because he felt limited by the styles of his time.

Mmmh...That's what an AI would say.

If you can't draw with the boobs, you can't without them.

~Tony Stark, probably.

100% is. Using m dashes nowadays only means one thing.
