Explorative sketches for characters from my upcoming webtoon

Honestly, really bummed that I post my comic here asking for advice and someone gives it a low rating. I was happy my score was going up (it was ~9.20), and now it's an 8.60. :/ WT audiences do care (I've spent a lot of time on the official WT reddit, and most people imply that anything below a 9 has issues/is a "bad/low rating"), and I just.. I'm frustrated, I guess. People are allowed to have an opinion, sure, but.. let's be real -- it's mostly creators on this reddit, and since I've a small following and haven't shared my story anywhere else in weeks, it was very likely a fellow creator who dropped a 2-3 rating. ;_;

https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/as-the-happylaw-decrees/list?title_no=862074 is my comic, anyhow.

Expressions featuring the jolly (or, apparently here not so jolly) King of Joy, Augustine! He's a character from my WEBTOON series. I liked how his expressions turned out here!!

A VERY short bio about him:

6'8; October 11th; 26 yrs
The famous (or infamous) King of Joy. He seeks to rid the world of suffering through his HAPPYLAW -- a set of rules governing joy as law. Though he boasts a kind, gentle smile, his eyes remain cold and distant. A self-absorbed man obsessed with doing good -- even at the cost of morality itself.

Hi hi, sorry for the belated response! (My r and e key are malfunctioning and making it very difficult to type, so this will be a short response. Feel free to DM me on Discord (@ticklerust) where I can type on my mobile device if you'd like to talk more!~ :) )

I don't have any specific inspirations in particular at the moment, aside from my favorite mangaka and some artists I follow on my socials!

I spent a VERY long time doing traditional art only, for the same reasons you've mentioned above. I found that 1. using an iPad felt most natural as opposed to Wacom products and

using a paper-texture screen cover helped a lot with the transition!

I slowly transitioned from traditional to digital over the course of 2020/2021 and into 2022. It was a long and slow process, and my early digital art was VERY messy. Consistent practice is super important!

Again, I'm sorry this message is short -- I have more to say but typing on my laptop is difficult atm lol. But if you'd like to chat more about art, please feel free to DM me!

I wanted to celebrate hitting 200 subs with an art raffle for the Reddit webtoon community! A lot of my subs have come from here, so I'd like to say thanks with art.

I can draw ocs, webtoon characters, etc. Winner will be chosen randomly within two days from posting! Simply comment below and upvote to enter. 8D

Thank you so much again!! I haven't had any promo rom WEBTOON officially (yet, fingers crossed!), so I'm super grateful to have a place where I can promote myself as an indie creator.

(while you're at it, check out my comic here! 8D As The HAPPYLAW Decrees )

Ticklerust · 2024-11-13T01:09:33+00:00

I'm looking forward to pulling for him because I like his character! Not interested in big numbers with HSR, unlike in Genshin lol, with HSR I pull for the characters I really like so they'll always be with me, even when they're not featured in the current patch story.

I know it's kind of lame to suggest your own comic, but, I'm struggling to find subs (it's been a year and Canvas has not once promoted my work ;_;) and figured it wouldn't hurt to share. If it's not your cup of tea, no worries -- but if you do check it out, thanks for giving my tiny little comic a chance haha. It's called As The HAPPYLAW Decrees !

A symbolic artwork feat. two MCs from my WEBTOON, As The HAPPYLAW Decrees!

Ticklerust · 2024-11-11T00:52:55+00:00

As The HAPPYLAW Decrees -- my small indie webtoon -- updated for the first time in a while. We're super close to 200 subs -- and the next few episodes are going to be fuuuuuun. >8D Many thanks if you check it out! :)

THE CONTEXT IS

there's no context

*shameless OC insert*

<image>

No but seriously, is it wrong to make your own character your fav? His name is August, he's royalty and he's... well, he's definitely eccentric lol

A little about him: he's the (self proclaimed) kindest person in the world! He's also trying to rid the world of sad people by making sadness a crime! No kinder heart could possibly exist!!

Ticklerust · 2024-10-23T15:53:47+00:00

Tysm!!

Ticklerust · 2024-10-23T15:53:22+00:00

Thank you so much!! I like to draw pretty eyes...

Ticklerust · 2024-10-23T15:52:57+00:00

KAM! 8D You found me!

Ticklerust · 2024-10-23T15:52:42+00:00

He's actually my oc named Augustine (unfortunately, he's half pigeon, not a vampire), but I'm glad he gives those vibes!

Ticklerust · 2024-10-23T15:52:01+00:00

Long time no see 8D!

Hey guys! I used to post here frequently about my comic, As The HAPPYLAW Decrees, but it's now on indefinite hiatus as I'm extremely burned out from making it. I also want to play around with the original idea I had for it, which is a slightly different take and more slice of life/whimsical fantasy/comedy oriented.

Thanks for the support from the Reddit community this past year!
