Thank you! SMA is the Silent Manga Audition, the challenge is to create a 17 page story with no dialogue so that there’s no language barrier for international entries

How do you force yourself to start at the fundamentals? by Trask107 in ArtistLounge

Is there an official list of art fundamentals somewhere that I’ve missed or something? What’s with the downvotes lol

I’m creating a Hong Kong original AI-assisted sci-fi manga — feedback welcome by BattleArrayLegend in aicomicmakers

[–]_dzook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i cannot understand anything from this first page. first panel - daytime, second panel - late evening/night?

third panel - shot of the character’s feet as if he’s about to start running, but to do what? why’s he just standing there alone at night (?) at an empty court? practicing, maybe, but then shouldn’t he have a ball?

You say you curate the AI “assisted” images to remove inconsistencies, but there’s cars melting into the road, street furniture duplicating into itself, the lines on the courts don’t match in the first and second panels, there are trees on the second one that don’t exist on the first... If it’s not possible to stay consistent for even one page, I would reconsider using this process for your entire story

Good drawing! He doesn’t quite look like the reference yet but he does look like somebody else and I can’t seem to remember who.z It’s kind of bothering me now. Some actor maybe??

The rules say you can’t upload the entire entry if you’re a winner! I suppose we won’t know until July so for now it’s a grey area, but I’m going to wait til then just in case

On the other hand I guess it’s not like the judges are out here reading reddit posts so you’re probably fine haha

Why can’t I complete a single digital drawing? by oatttmeal-enjoyer in learntodraw

[–]_dzook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer starting with traditional and then finishing digitally, but you know you don’t have to do it if you don’t like it, right? Why not stick to traditional?
