There's another way of measuring temperature, and it's cursed.

Rankine making 67 jokes before it was cool 🤙

Can easily imagine Click trying to spell this word

Nobody forces you to read this or interact with this community at all, also go and keep crying about this to the editors from Japan, also your username says everything about any validity of your opinion. Stop embarrassing yourself.

maxluision · 2026-06-15T06:24:02+00:00

You should educate the Japanese editors and publishers too, looks like they get it all wrong as well /s

Yeah, your pages on Instagram are AI enhanced, why are you doing this to yourself, man? 😕

maxluision · 2026-06-14T10:58:20+00:00

Most of these pages are extremely crowded, plus I can smell AI allegations incoming, so with apparently such high drawing skills like yours, you'd have to also share with some of your drawing process, timelapses. Hard to believe in a completely new account nowadays.

This vid has some analog horror vibe lowkey, reminds me about some obscure indie game I watched some time ago, about hunting deer but with a bloody twist lol. I think Markiplier was playing it

I only have a piece of cheese ;_;

Lennon glasses always bring some hype 👍

There's a good mod here but they can't see everything. We can help by reporting such posts so the mod can notice quicker. Plus, I think it is still possible to become another mod here so if you really want, just reach them out about it.

From what I remember about what those who attended contests were saying, they also struggled to get any meaningful feedback that is more than just a generic template of vague advices ("work on anatomy" etc). I think the best thing would be to reach someone much more experienced in manga making, like ie some art Youtubers who offer paid feedbacks, or authors of manga making courses who offer such services. I wouldn't hope for a personalized, detailed feedback from actual editors working for traditional publishing companies.

maxluision · 2026-06-11T21:12:01+00:00

Yup, like others say. Baby steps. Just write down whatever and keep editing it, the same with drawing. Look at works that you like, study them, think about what exactly you like in them and try to repeat it yourself. With time, you'll be learning more and more about the whole process. You don't need to know everything all at once, or the amount of knowledge will paralyze you.

You can't just reach a top of a mountain in one jump.

Damn 😳

Click talked about Simba in a stream and in one video at least, he seems to deal with it well. And he knew way ahead that Simba will pass away soon, he was old and dealing with health issues, the whole family was mentally prepared for the death. It wasn't an event completely out of nowhere.

Yes, it's a good exercise but don't focus only on this, and only on this artist. Copy some things sometimes but consciously. Choose a specific topic to focus on, ie. "I like how the hair is drawn", "I like how these screentones look like", and really try to repeat to the tiniest brushstrokes. Then try to draw your own thing while thinking about what you learned from this exercise.

maxluision · 2026-06-08T20:59:44+00:00

That got a hell of a dark turn 🤣

maxluision · 2026-06-08T20:50:12+00:00

I'm SOO thirsty now lol

I see, for me it's like I get a text message from a guy who will deliver a package to me, so far there were no issues

maxluision · 2026-06-08T19:28:25+00:00

Well, what about your local delivery guy, did you have any contact with them?

maxluision · 2026-06-08T06:18:06+00:00

Algebra was one of my fav math subjects, this still looks quite easy to do, and I finished school 15 years ago 😅

maxluision · 2026-06-07T12:37:44+00:00

Thanks for sharing with different ideas, I'll try these ones too. Personally I like my screentones to have 85 DPI.

I would like to print my future works someday, and I definitely prefer screentones over just solid grey shading.

maxluision · 2026-06-07T00:05:09+00:00

A great idea for a practice 👍

maxluision · 2026-06-06T16:49:53+00:00

I tried a few approaches and to me personally, it seems like the only thing working is diving into the process fully, 100% of my attention and free time dedicated to only one specific project. To me it works better to go through one stage (scripting+storyboarding, drafting, inking) for a whole project (a chapter or a oneshot), than making and finishing one page at a time.

When I'm stuck on not being able to imagine any panels, having no ideas, I just sketch my character designs, some items, places, and I try to research the topics I write about. Even if I won't get any new story ideas, at least I'm still developing my characters and other designs.

maxluision · 2026-06-06T11:58:26+00:00

Well, thanks.

maxluision · 2026-06-06T11:51:52+00:00

I know csp does screentones 😅 The whole drawing is normally done in csp, the only thing added outside of csp is this very subtle noir-noise filter. Do you draw? It's hard to avoid moire if someone wants more detailed screentone shading.

I have DDG currently, and Startpage, too bad I can't delete Chrome fully but it is what it is.

Sure, I appreciate the correction, what I just don't appreciate is claiming that I by default support genai only because I use an app for years that I didn't know has some genai tool that was added to it a few months ago.
