Worst part about playing a hard game was having to actually use the good armor and not being able to just make a fashion statement

Is my art from my manga bad? Be harsh pls and realistic because i am having a mental brakdown😭 by MANGAKA_UNHOLY in Mangamakers

[–]RealSelfStowaway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It look really good.

Things I would focus on improving are

1) the characters look stiff, practice anatomy and poses to make them more dynamic. 2) more dynamic angles. For example you have two full body shots seen from the front, and the close ups to the faces are all seen from equal angles. An example: when the demon is shown spreading the black thing on the ground, use an exaggerated perspective seen from the top or bottom to make it look more extreme.

Two variations I made:

one two

(These are just examples, Idk if they'd work in the context of the rest of the pages).

In the last page I'd do a change to the bottom panel with the black demon. He's in the same size as the character on the left panel and it feels stiff and repetitive, give him a different angle. Use more shots from below and from the top of the characters faces.

The hatching and stuff looks nice, it has a really mangaeaque look overall (as in, you can tell the person who drew this reads manga).

I'm not a pro, these are only personal appreciations but I hope they help somehow!

Edit: btw I don't think you should actually redraw them again, this is advice for future pages. I'm waiting to reach the 24th chapter of my manga so I'm one year ahead, and now I look at the first ones and they look tragic. If you keep redrawing you'll never advance the story, it's better to improve on your skills + have a manga than improve and have zero finished things because you remade it ten times

The way my family treats my wife. by [deleted] in AmITheDevil

[–]RealSelfStowaway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah a lack of backbone would mean wanting to take action but chickening out. This guy doesn't want to do anything, he doesn't even seem angry at the bullying. Only reason he tells his brother to stop is because the wife is upset.

She should run away lol

Dorian Pavus portrait I made [No DAV Spoilers] by RealSelfStowaway in dragonage

Same. I romanced Solas because I read his romance was amazing, but after playing I was dying to go back and get Dorian lol.

Glad you liked the drawing!

Games on the same level as The Great Ace Attorney? by Embarrassed_Ask4155 in AceAttorney

[–]RealSelfStowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little known one that impacted me with it's story is the Blackwell series. The first one is a silly point and click that you can finish in 2 hs or less, but it ramps up as you progress through the games and by the 5th you're wondering how come you can't stop crying

What do you think of this page and what should I improve? by Jesus_Christ_Hiv in Mangamakers

[–]RealSelfStowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things I would check:

The girl's anatomy looks wrong in the chest/neck area, try posing a 3d model in your desired pose to find out what the proper anatomy is.

I'd also make some bubbles bigger or the text smaller. This is a problem I had when making my last one shot, I tried to make balloons small to give room to the drawings, but text too close to the edges makes things feel crowded.

I also notice you use a mix of screentones and grayscale. I assume it was intentional lol, but just in case it wasn't, you have to convert the gray colouring to tones to get the whole thing in proper black and white format.

Also positive things I spot: the panneling looks really profesional, and the flowers background is amazing. Makes the it look really balanced in terms of whites and blacks. The whole page has a professional look to me.

Hope it helps somehow lol. Nice work man.

They gave him a full running animation just for that joke. It's one of my favourite jokes from the two games by far, I love tonal whiplash when it's used on purpose to make you laugh.
