Webcomics Thread

I'm trying to remember a webcomic but I don't know the name of it anymore. It featured girls as the main characters and they thought the main one was posessed by a demon or something, and theres a scene where she pushes her friend of the side of a cliff or something. She survives of course but is pretty pissed of about it. Probably not much to go on but maybe someone here knows it?

>>114896985>Why do you suppose webcomics aren't popular on Holla Forumsweeb pander so topics are dull or not remotely interesting. find me stuff that isnt your conventional garbage and i might consider reading it.

>>114896985>Other than...That's because those have waifus. It works like this: if someone posts about your webcomic and it doesn't have waifus, people go SHILL SHILL SHILL REPORTED SHILL. If someone posts about your webcomic and it does have waifus, people go MUSCLE MOMMY PLEASE MORE MOMMY MOMMY PLEASE.

>>114898057That's no a good one.

>>114897257>I think just linking to the new update should be good enough.Only if there's already a fanbase here. If you want to introduce Holla Forums to a webcomic that isnt mega-popular you pretty much have to storytime it.

>>114898091Oops. Meant to rely to >>114897655

>>114896985Do you know about the adult manhwa And also I know the websites webtoons but it's also a synomous with manhwa for example there could be manhwa that are from the website webtoons but are webtoons

>>114897149>Maybe there ought to be a webcomics thread?The fact that you have no idea what hyw is shows that webcomic creators need to post outside it.

>>114896985Webcomics fluctuate in popularity here. I've seen threads for Nedroid, Whomp, Unsounded, and more do well here. It just depends on who's here at the moment. The webcomics on Webtoons and Tapas generally don't have much of an overlap in terms of demographic with 4chan, often being more female oriented. If you ever see the likes of Always Raining Here mentioned in a thread, it's likely to be in a fujo thread.

>>114897209As much as it would help to be able to story time webcomics you made, you know it's just going to be a ban and they'll never change the rules because it's one of those things that would require constructive moderation.It took moot leaving just to end the era of destructive moderation. Hiro seems to prefer stagnation. I can't imagine what it would look now now if you asked the mods to call shots on webcomic quality.That said, how does stuff like Mr. Boop get away with it?

>>114898710I told you. The rule is>WaifusOH I LOVE ALLISONS MUSCLES I WANT HER TO HOLD ME CLOSER>No WaifusGET THIS SHIT OUT OF HERE SHILL SHILL SHILL REPORTED SHILL

Kill Six Billion Demons is prolefeed. I have nothing but contempt for the retards that like reading brain-damaged Neil Gaiman try and write a shonen.

>>114898808You are a massive faggot with nothing of value to contribute. I read your post the first time and disregarded as the pre-pubescent whinging it was.

Webcomics are the Holla Forums equivalent of Angry Birds and Temple Run. You don't read them because they're good, you do it because it kills five minutes.

>>114899067Tad Danger Substitute Ranger is legit funny.>>114898565This is a good one, but weird cosmic public domain superheroes is niche as fuck.

For some reason the readership of a lot action comics have gone down hill.Xink3r is my favorite webtoon series, but people less and less people are reading it. I blame Webtoons for trying to my every webtoon original “fake-anime style”

You're just one of the biggest zero-effort tryhard faggots on the whole site, everybody hates you, and you should stop sharing your opinions.

>>114899127Every platform has a system for diverting traffic to the more profitable parts of the site, and Webtoons is certainly no different. They won't likely give you an audience, but they will happily encourage yours to go somewhere else. Same as YouTube and everywhere.I don't have anything I'm subbed to on Webtoons but I'd be surprised if the site honors subscriptions, because nowhere else does anymore. The notifications you'll get is for their profitable stuff, not this guy who's still trying to grow.

>>114899008I like that the artstyle, design and setting so much(looks mesoamerican?) I worry the story will probably suck. I mean perfect comic cannot exist, right?

>>114899147You're this mad because I made fun of your webcomic?

>>114896985Idk but sweet home is neat

>>114897655>As to whether Korean webtoons should be allowed on Holla Forumshmm hard to say. Mods at /a/ did say manhwa can be allowed on /a/. But some/a/nons really hate manhwa so that it was impossible to have proper manhwa thread. So I get the reasoning on why someone would want to make the thread for Korean stuff on Holla Forums, but technically they should be /a/.

>>114899358Sweet home should have been adopted to an anime, not the tower of gook.

>>114899304>>114899347Because you guys may as well be bot accounts. You post the same exact things all day long in every thread with no respect for anything in the threads. What is wrong with you faggots? 4chan has never been a beacon of quality, exactly, but this is the lowest effort retardation I have seen in so many years, and yet it somehow never tires you.

>>114898152hyw is for posting your own webcomic. He's suggesting a webcomic general.

I am enjoying this one, which is a comic about the author who hates anime making a manga about how much he hates anime m.webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-magic-of-community-service/list?title_no=401528&webtoon-platform-redirect=true

>>114896985There are very few webcomics worth reading, a lot start interesting but go nowhere like EGS or Spinnerella. Too fucking many just get abandoned. And even if they are good they take for fucking ever to update and move at a snails pace.

Anyone here reads edgelord highschool capeshit?

>>114899385When did the mods make that statement? For years anything not Japan was considered "Western" by 4chan standards and Korean threads were relegated to here with examples like Leafy and these comics.

>>114899548Let's not pretend the mods were ever consistent with unwritten rules.

>>114896998DESU I got way better feedback when I did a thread for my comic a year ago than all the months posting updates in hyw. I've storytimes my work twice after and it always yields great feedback I save.

>>114896985>Why do you suppose webcomics aren't popular on Holla Forums?Many webcomics that I read aren't allowed to be posted nor discussed on Holla Forums because of arbitrary reasons.

>>114899548If you have Webtoon in the subject line or like the OP on /a/ it gets deleted and you get a ban. Its pretty annoying and if you come here its kinda 50/50 of just getting shitposts and or deletion

>>114899437>Post the exact same thing all day long in every threadWait. Wait. There's more than just me trolling suck six billion dick fags? That should tell you something genius. Your waifu looks like a tranny, your webcomic's lore sucks, you have shit taste, you're going to hell, deal with it.

>>114899521Unordinary is one of the most popular webtoons

>>114899621Like what?>>114899579What's your comic?

>>114899578Fair enough, but we can point to general treads in what's enforced. I should say that probably starting around four or five years ago they started being deleted on both boards, likely because different mods and janitors having different opinions.

>>114899521Would Power of Stardust count?>>114899659Give me a link.

>>114899641I don't even know what webcomic you're talking about.But speaking of trannies I'd take the daily Questionable Content thread over you dumb retards. QC isn't good but at least Jeph is making a sincere effort at career artistry and there's a fair amount that can be said of what he's trying and failing to do.We can say nothing of you idiots save that you are more pathetic than Jeph ever will be, and you are less interesting than Questionable Content.You are the dregs, user. The insufferable, valueless dregs.

>>114899660Of the non-pornographic ones, Out of Placers is the one that gets deleted on sight here because "furry".Meanwhile, something like Bittersweet Candy Bowl gets to have threads for days despite being 2,000% more "furry".

>>114899659I like how John went full emo retarded and basically killed Seraphina's route, while the Royals genuinely are trying to fix the school (which is also full of retards).

>>114899728>m.tapas.io/series/TOM-N-ARTIEThat you only have 111 subscribers makes me sad. You deserve more.>>114899731I always thought it was strange BCB had such a huge fanbase let alone a bizarre 4chan pass.

>>114899731I believe the mods have their own space where they decide this stuff, and I don't think it's the type of place where they question things that have already been decided. Which means if they started banning Bittersweet Candy Bowl it'd just be gone forever.Problem is you'd have to understand what rubs someone on the mod team the wrong way and who fuckin' knows.

>>114899833I blame HSG for many of the unofficial "rules" that are enforced on Holla Forums.

>>114901068Keep strong man.>>114901094That's no reason to drop a book.

Frankly, with the appearance of sites like Webtoons & Tapas, webcomics are more popular than ever. But thing is that there are so many, that many stay obscure, and as >>114899127>>114899208Say, regardless of popularity or quality, some comics will be popular, while obscuring the rest.But again, when there are ao many options, its hard to choose. Besides, in the case of Webtoons...regardless of if its manwha or just korean comics, most korean stuff is crap or mediocre. Most of the good or even just ok stuff I found there is mostly western stuff: Lalin Curse, Seed, Lone, Fox Fire, Hooky, Four Leaf, The Witch & the Bull, Darbi, The Dummys Dummy, Utso, Eise feom Ashes, etc, etc.....But Korean?.... 12th year old magician Girl was nice, Friday: Forbidden Tales & Shriek were good terror stuff, Magician was really good, but then ended in the shittiest way possible, Escape Room looks promising....and thats it.Even when they are total shit, somehow retards read the blandest & generic korwan manga style avaliable, that or pozzed romance shit if its wester; Meanwhile, the good or at least not shit stuff gets buried. People have really bad taste.

>>114896985Besides K6BD, the only webcomic artist I keep up with is Dan Kim, and Holla Forums doesn't give a shit about him.

>>114900487Hey man, I read this through the other day and it was pretty good.

>>114901474>UnsoundedIsn't this one written by a pedophile?

>>114896985Because Holla Forums has this weird mentality against "shilling", so any attempts to discuss webcomics are chased off the board. Even if peopled wanted to talk about a webcomic, if they're immediately bombarded with "gfto shill" the topic dies.

>>114902102Well I think it's a product of the global rule of no advertising on 4chin.It's a good rule to prevent companies from advertising their shit under the guise of anonymous.However webcomic artists don't make any money, unless you've got subs and viewers in the millions.so shilling lesser known, and artist who deserve a spotlight shouldn't be frowned upon.

>>114902102>>114902301>user tries to stick it to the man and ensures that only corporate products get talked about>>114902082Explain.

>>114902549doesn't Steven Universe deserve a signal boost?Holla Forums even promotes lesser known comics like Questionable Content, Stonetoss, and whatever the fuck Dobson is working on.

>>114902588None of those things deserve a "signal boost"

>>114899008Looks good. I will give it a try.

>>114896985A lot of webcomics in the west are from, honestly, "idea guys" that can draw. Once you've gotten past the summation that looks good on social media there's not a lot else there.

>>114896985I hate how every webcomic reviewer/channel is autistic as hell, if there was one that didn't shit the bed it'd be easier to catch up with whats good and whats shit

>>114903707>"idea guys" that can draw.I thought the whole meme of the "ideas guy" was that they have no talent outside of having teh gud ideas..

>>114904345I was using that expression to try and summarize the issue with a lot of webcomics, in that they're all based on "the idea" but they're not really going anywhere. Which is probably why they eventually just fall from grace, because people realize that nothing is really going to happen other than an improvement of the art of "the idea."

>>114904413Then other times you get creators who fell into the lore trap where they made so much shit but have no idea how to get to it. It usually leads to alot of boring exposition cause they don't know how to organically introduce some of the concepts or don't want to drop them even if they don't work anymore.

>>114904470The DEEP LORE shit has also infested a lot of cartoons as well. That's not a story, it's a visual wiki.

>>114904494The DEEP LORE stuff is because theories are the new shit that help sell ideas. How many times do you see people fall in love with the concept rather than the execution?

>>114904470>>114904494It's kind of tragic, because DEEPEST LORE is what make people go crazy for a show, but ONLY after they're already invested for the normal plot. Lore is like sprinkles on a cupcake, makes it nice and pretty and festive but you can't just hand somebody a handful of sprinkles first thing. You've got to have compelling characters and an interesting plot first.

>>114904517Yeah, it's like they're made so that MatPat (and people like him) will make [blank] Theory videos about it. All people really want is a good story that says something about the human condition.

>>114904494There's nothing wrong with SPECULAH if it's done right. Sound of the Sky, PMMM, Gravity Falls and RubyQuest were all great examples of it (albiet with varying degrees of payoff). It's only a problem when it turns into exposition, like when bad writers derail episode plots with loredumps.Basically good when good, bad when bad.

>>114904517>How many times do you see people fall in love with the concept rather than the execution?isn't that the reason behind fanfiction?

>>114904413>>114904470>>114904537But that's not a problem exclusive to webcomics.more curious about which webcomics in particular have a great premise but fall short with the execution?

>>114904517>>114903707I agree. I can personally say I’ve fallen into both of these traps.How would you recommend a author work pass those issues?

>>114904622Korea sucks at every thing, Garbage Music, Garbage Language, Garbage Television, Garbage People, Garbage everything.

>>114904626I think this is why more webcomics should go chapter by chapter rather than "updates every Thursday" or whatever. Let people get over the initial hype and leave them stew a little bit.Oh, and have a planned story that doesn't drag on for thousands of pages over a decade. Even Watchmen is --what?-- 300 pages?I remember Ray Bradbury saying that one people with people getting straight in to "big stories" rather than lots of smaller stories is that they get in to the habit of not having finished something.

>>114904651I don't think I've fallen into that trap just yet but the comics I've done I usually am more focused on the story presented. I only really fall into the 'past talk' if it's something that contributes to the tale being told. It could just vary on what you're working on cause all the stuff I do hasn't been lore intensive. What are you doing?>>114904643If you find some I'd want to know about them too. I have such a hard time starting webcomics lately cause I feel like I'm jumping into a story that won't get completed or I'll get invested then find out it hasn't been updated for three years. Trying to get over that.

>>114904622I agree. as a webcomicker, pacing and how you convey time passing is important. a lot of webtoons just "read weird "when they use the "webtoons approved format">>114904684t.Japanese person

I've been reading "The Sea in You" and it's turned into a real guilty pleasure for me. The story is kind of like a generic teen drama but also a mermaid gets cucked to death. I didn't really like it at first but I couldn't stop reading, and now I'm getting cucked to death because the creator got sick and hasn't updated in a month.

>>114904709I mean this is easy to say and it might be better for the comic itself, but it's not realistic as you won't get any attention from the webcomic platforms.you need substantial updates....often, so that your comic can get pushed to the top of the shitpile for a brief moment.>story that doesn't drag on for thousands of pages It's scary and risky to end a comic potentially losing an entire fanbase. probably the artist wants to do other things, another story, another comic, but that's a risk...you know how autistic nerds can be.

All these problems about webcomics sounds like you're talking about LNs

>>114904990This is why you make "the product" the stories you tell rather than just a single story that could have anyone attached. Make yourself the brand, not the comic.

>>114904711I posted it earlier on this thread.If you drop a link I’ll check your comic out too and subscribe.

>>114905084I'm right here >>114899728>>114904990That depends on the fanbase you've acquired but you're still right here. People will threaten you for ending your story or killing off certain characters. That can wane on people if you get an annoying fanbase.

>>114905177I don't mean it like that. Think more like Evan Dahm, in the world of webcomics. Make it so people give you money because they know you will give them a good product. >>114905135It's about the kind of following you get at the start. If you court twitter spergs and waifu/hasbando fags at the start you'll be constricted by them. If you make it clear that your comics have a planned story, it will be X chapters long, etc. then those kinds of people will not be worth paying any mind to in the first place.

There seems to be some contention in this thread on whether webtoons should be considered webcomics. What do you think, Holla Forums? I mean, are they not comics on the web?

>>114905251Finding a following is always the hardest part so you usually take who you can get. I know for some creators it can be kind of an ego blow when you find out fans aren't reading for your story but because they wanna fuck one character. A friend of mine had to shake that from his comic by featuring a character less when he found that out (mostly cause he wasn't getting any useful feedback).>>114905310Thanks user, subbed to yours on webtoons as well.

>>114897257>Also they're more manga than a comic.I think that only applies to not japan eastern webcomics, user.For example: China, Taiwan, Korea.

>>114905598It's probably why you'll have to have networking away from the major channels. Form a "alternate culture" for lack of a better word. I think if you formed something like a web-ring or artistic community (of writers, and artists, and musicians) which is focussed on providing a solid product, and because you're all connected one getting a major buzz will cause a ripple effect outwards because you've all built up the infrastructure. I'm not saying they need to be an organisation or anything, just all make linking to each other part of your site, the way it used to be.

>>114905752A lot of newer webcomic artists don't want to band together for some reason. They think they can do everything on their own. Really similar webcomics should seek each other out and advertise on each other's sites. They'd be able to all lift each other up together that way.

>>114899404Would rather have bastard desu

>>114905798It could depend where you're looking. When I first started my webcomic I originally wanted it to be an indie book so made more indie contacts. When I decided I wanted to go webcomic instead then alot of those contacts stopped talking to me cause my work wasn't 'real' anymore. Ironically I got more help and worthwhile friends from webcomics than indie.

>>114905842Where do you even go for webcomic networking?

>>114905885I bounced around between different groups on FB and discord. Finding them isn't way too hard but ones you wanna stick in could be a challenge. It's just taking the chance to talk to people and see where it goes.

Even though they're probably the most basic you can get. I enjoy elf and warrior and boyfriend of the dead. I also like reading through scoob and shag when I get the urge to

Does anyone else read Feast for a King? It's easily one of my absolute favorite webcomics.

Might as well post my comic.Feel free to shit on it. I can take it.Thanks to this thread I now am convinced I should make me a site and storytime here -somehow-tapas.io/episode/1741946last chapter only -webtoons contest-webtoons.com/en/challenge/fortunata-b/list?title_no=430968>>114904622I embraced it because I wanted a fresh start and because newer generations consume media mostly through their phones.

I enjoy Grrlpower even if the name throws people off it's mostly TnA with military superheroes.

>>114906205>I rather keep a low profile while the product gets the successOkay, so what happens when the comic finishes? Just create a new online persona and start from scratch again?

>>114905798That's just the case for some young authors. I am in contact with some other webcomics authors and we love to hang out online. Streaming, chat, twitter, mutual fanart and general shenanigans.

>>114905798yeah, this new generation needs to learn how to make connections on their own. you can't do everything alone, and it helps to have acquittances who you can exchange advice with. my guess why they're not willing to make connections is thanks to the fear of getting "exposed" or backstabbed.

>>114906284Not the OP, but Tapas shows the author's other webcomics on the side (plus you can just click the author's name to view their profile & comics). Webtoons doesn't have this feature, but you can search the author's name it'll show all their comics on the site.Also, are webcomic authors known for having a big persona? Whenever I finish a webcomic, I just look at the author's profile to see their other works. If I ever check their Twitter or anything, it's just to see their artwork.

>>114906205I haven't read many first person comics before, but this did it pretty well. Fortuna;s (I think?) hand clenching at the wall is spooky.

>>114906172>fantasy/scifiHave you looked at Power of Stardust? I think its got a good blend of fantasy and scifi.

>>114901519>Wait that's still updating?Ehhhhh.... no. Chochi is sidetracked by another webcomic that's more profitable. But he recently moved Beatrix to webtoons, which hopefully means he's interested in picking it up again. We can dream.

>>114896985koreashit goes to /a/

It’s been awhile since I’ve read a good webcomic. I used to read Gunnerkrigg Court but lost interest. I really enjoyed The Meek until the creator abandoned it for several years. I know she picked it back up again a few years ago, so I should catch up on it again at some point.So far the only webcomic I’m reading on webtoons is Lore Olympus. I’ve seen nonstop ads about it and other comic artists I follow had been praising it so I finally gave if a shot.This is the first webcomic I’ve enjoyed in a long time. I’m a sucker for mythology-inspired fiction. The art is nice, the characters are well-written and multi-dimensional, and the story flows well. And for a story based in Greek Mythology, it breaks down the difference between toxic and healthy relationships. Also Hades is adorable.My only gripes with the comic are the constant typos and timeline plotholes, but I find myself reading this comic every week.

>>114906284I can't speak for the rest, but in my case that's not a concern. Mainly for two reasons: I create because I have to, not because I'm expecting something in return. And secondly, at my current pace i can easily expend years and years with this comic. It's -mostly- self contained so, even if it's ultimately dropped, you won't feel cheated in the midst of an unfinished epic saga or something....actually, I might take the deeplore pill one day, who knows?>>114906631It's just that part, bro.

>>114907137There’s a reason why this is the #1 comic on webtoons. It’s a good comic for what it is. Just with everything else that is popular, avoid the fanbase like the plague.It’s ironic that this comic deals with toxic relationships when its fanbase is toxic.

>>114907113>koreashit goes to /a/True, but not everything on Webtoon is korean. Hell, the Room of Swords creators live in Seattle, which is (despite what you may have heard) part of the United States. Besides, thread's not just about webtoon, it's about webcomics.

>>114907491Social media is a plague on the internet.

>>114907451The artist tends to change up the quality for certain panels. I guess she thinks more like a storyboard artist in that sense. Some panels are meant to be looked at longer than others for story beats..? When she actually puts the effort in her work though, it’s a nice result.It’s not everyone’s cup of tea though and that’s cool. I personally like the aesthetic

>>114908158It's also extremely long. It's over 400 pages at this point. Been updating twice a week for almost 5 years with some breaks.

>>114908304You could have multiple threads, there's been some webcomics that had their whole run posted. If not then possibly the first two chapters in order to see reader reaction? >>114907531I started being active more on twitter lately (mostly via liking and retweeting more people's stuff than just my own). Now I'm noticing the site is putting alot more posts that are talking about LGBT stuff or race issues at the top of my wall everytime I look.

>>114909045I legitimately don't see how you can read Unordinary as Harry Potter at all beyond "lol school". It's really more accurate to call it My Hero Academia meets Heathers.

>>114899579Huh, did you get a good reaction from that? I post my comic in hywc too, I always figured if I made my own thread for it I'd be called out for shilling my own work.

>>114909698Same here. But my stuff almost never comes up naturally.

>>114909466yeah, I've seen pics get pulled for no reason, but borderline lewds gets an ok?

>>114909698Yeah I got a pretty good reaction from people that really helped me on writing second and third issue. An user gave a paragraph's worth of feedback that I saved and kept referring back to. At the time I had been taking my comic to different places irl (cons, meet-ups and some online groups) but Holla Forums was the place that told me the feedback I wanted to hear. People would say the art was good and overall it was a fine production but having someone tear into it was what really helped me. Start your own thread user. Just use HYW for posting updates but you'll get better eyes and feedback on your own thread, it's worth it.

>>114905534>whether webtoons should be considered webcomicsThey are a restricted form of digital comic, not really what most would understand as a webcomic. A webcomic can be in almost any form the creator wishes. However, I did like The Great Catsby when it was storytimed here and would welcome similar. But I notice the webtoons platform is quite off putting, reader-hostile I'd say. For example it first asks for my date of birth, never had that with any webcomic. So, I tend to class them as form of walled product (like pay-, region-, subscribe-, etc) which goes against the old boundary-less web idea.

>>114909759Yeah honestly the only reason I still go to Holla Forums is because of the brutal honesty. Like, even if 4/5 people who post here are complete assholes they're at least unfiltered assholes. You still need to sort the legit criticism from the general negativity, but it's that sort of critique you need if you ever want to improve. But yeah, I might try and storytime my comic sometime. I just finished up page 40 today, and I got another 24 or so until the end of the first chapter. Maybe when I finish that I'll start a thread for it.

>>114910512Out of curiosity, have you ever made physical prints of your work? I was thinking about making my first chapter into a book once it's finished. Cons seem like the perfect place to showcase your stuff and build up a following. At the moment I don't really have anything to justify renting a booth, so I figured actually publishing a book would make sense. That or make some prints or t-shirts to sell. I've never really done a convention before, so I'm not sure what to bring to the table.

>>114910512looks like fun

>>114910630They aren't. Original content doesn't sell at conventions at all. I say this from years or experience. People go to cons to buy fanart of stuff they already like.

>>114910630I made physicals for conventions twice before and made an okay number of sales. I stuck to the webcomic route cause it operates well with my schedule and I enjoy putting out content for people. It depends on the con that will give you a good experience or not. My first con was at C2E2 2018, me and my artist did great in sales there despite our comic not being totally complete at the time (we made a special edition for the con). The second con we did was at SVCC 2019 and it was a pretty crap experience (though no one in the artist alley had a good time at that con).

>>114907359She's also done porn of these characters, but I think they're in Patreon or something.

>>114910630Depends on the con. I've never made great sales but that's mostly because I'm bad at sales and my comic tends to be most appealing to quiet and shy people. But the cons where there's a bigger push for independent content are where I usually do my best. Even got the opportunity to add a copy of my comic to the Library of Congress. That was neat.

>>114899579In that case, I’ll shill myself. It’s not on Webtoon yet because im still working on my buffer, but this thread will be gone by then

>>114910881>>114910997Yeah I'm honestly not expecting to make bank from showcasing my stuff at conventions.
