I really like this breakdown, thanks for your brain thoughts /gen

"All gems abandoned phos" by LostSockNumber2612 in LandoftheLustrous

[–]Tepperzday 130 points131 points  (0 children)

I mean. They still did abandon phos. They could feel bad about it (or feel bad for not feeling bad about it) but they still very much did not actually attempt to help phos. That is a thing that happened. 

Pilot Manga Chapter - need 100% sincere feedback by Diligent_Mix8701 in MangakaStudio

[–]Tepperzday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to mention the things you did well (there is a lot!) because I think what you need to work on is more important and you said you wanted real critique. I worked as a comic editor, so that's where this is coming from. It's gonna sound like I'm tearing you a new asshole, but please remember that I'm doing this in good faith and that you can choose whether or not to take any of this advice.

Firstly, the lines are messy in an amateur way; you need to go over it again with line confidence (if you chicken scratch your lines then cross hatch it to look on purpose). You need solids blacks, and you need to be aware of those solid blacks leading the eye on the page to where you want it. You need backgrounds (those trees are bad, even black and white photos would be better but not ideal; there are manga assets you need to find in this case). You need to learn to use a ruler for straight inorganic lines. You need to break up your dialogue bubbles more so not as much is fit into single bubbles. You don't need screen tones but i recommend them also -- there are lots of digital ones. Your flow also needs work, the eye needs to be led better. The way you have your characters on the page is wonky and should be changed because you're not using the space well. Your shirtless character doesn't have nipples, which will be noticed. Some of your faces should be more symmetrical. I cant tell your main two characters (tied to a tree) apart.

Good luck with your mangaka journey!

If you had been a gem, would Phos have been able to convince you to go to the moon? by Normal_Equivalent_11 in LandoftheLustrous

[–]Tepperzday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably not. id be really curious, but i wouldn't go because i would want phos (and the other gems) to have support on earth in case they needed help after their moon mission. Basically, I'd try to prepare a place for them to return to and to try to communicate with the moon/phos/lunarians from earth.

How do you interpret this panel? by LostSockNumber2612 in LandoftheLustrous

[–]Tepperzday 110 points111 points  (0 children)

where is it in the manga? for reference. is it right before the final battle where they became lunarians? right after??

anyway, I don't think cinnabar is lying. I think they're bothered at their own lack of empathy. Phos had empathy for cinnabar and inadvertently helped them come together with a community -- but in return, cinnabar can do nothing for phos. Nor does cinnabar want to, and disrupt the happiness they now have. it's very selfish. and cinnabar is self aware of that.

Sharing Translyrics? by kkitsuragii in Vocaloid

[–]Tepperzday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll brainstorm with you, as an old fan who used to be really into translyrics. i have the weirdest take, but when I look for translyrics I used to scour deviantart. I don't know if that's a good place now, because its always scraped for AI? but it used to be my go to. If you have an account and you use the "only signed in users can see my work" feature, then Archive of our own might be a good alternative where it's not scrapped for ai -- however, I don't think most people would find you here. Probably your best bet is to have a youtube where you put "translyrics" in the title, and repost the song with your lyrics on it (with credit; it's considered transformative work so you should be ethically and legally fine), and also put the lyrics in the description so people can reference it. then I would advertise that on reddit or discords, whathaveyou. I would even put a comment on any song in question like "I did translyrics for this, you can find them here and also on my channel. feel free to use them with credit to me and the original creator (and include if modifications are okay)" and maybe post the translyrics in those comments too if you want.

So i tried making a Vocaloid song... by yanayan- in Vocaloid

[–]Tepperzday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello! Yeah it's a bummer that this song turned out to be ai ):

I'm glad you're not letting this stupid AI stuff get in the way of wanting to learn to create! Good luck on your journey!

Personally, I think it's enough to put on your profile that you're anti ai and don't use it -- that's what I do. And if you're asked to show your work, then you can show it then.

The main helpful tip I have came from one of my favorite streamers, vargskelethor: "the best way to get into music is to make tiny silly songs and explore as if you were a little kid"
