[ul]
[li]One panel Strip [/li][li]Three to Four Panel Strips[/li][li]Comic Book [/li][li]Storyboards (NEW!)[/li][/ul]Think of it of a club within the forum for people who WANT to do comics.

GENERAL RULES:
[ul]
[li]Every Wednesday night a new week long thread will be posted on the CGTalk Daily Sketch Forum called:[color=darkorange]Wednesday Night Comic Creators Club XXX: MONTH YEAR [/li]

This will be the CORE thread, created by the moderator, (that would be me)
[/color]
[/ul]
[ul]
[li]You can post on the core thread anything you want as long as it related a to a sequential art idea[/li][li]If yo ualready have a web comic, well SHOW IT to us…[/li][li]WIP entries should be on the artists WIP thread. This thread might be hosted on the WIP forum OR…the Member SKETCH Collection [/li][li]This is a thread to allow creators to have fun so please feel free post your Comments[/li][/ul]IF and only IF we gather enough interest we might start doing voting for:
[ul]
[li]Best Writing [/li][li]Best Story [/li][li]Best Art[/li][li]Most Updates[/li][li]Most Views (IE Highest ratings: I want to keep track on who has been getting the highest number of hits on the WIP thread for the comic…more on this later[/li][/ul]Keep this in mind.
A monthly comic book has 24 pages. And in order to have enough material for a graphic novel you should need to do 6 issues of a comic.

24 * 6 = 144 pages

This is why most pros do a at least a page a day.

And please if you do comic book, do it in multiple of 2.
Wednesday Night Comic Creators Club 010: December 10 - 16 2008
Hi guys, welcome to the Wednesday Night Comic Creators Club thread.

My advice, KEEP IT SIMPLE

If you think you can’t to a full comic book, do a 3 - 4 panel
newspaper strip. 5 - 10 updates a month are more than enough in my book.
And if you are going to do a comic book, do short stories first , since they usually have
4 to 6 pages. Think Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt or Amazing Stories for inspiration.
Good luck

Single panel. Found detailing easier without the repetition this time. Still having some trouble with the sizing, but it isn’t quite so pixilated this time.

#3

Looks better RedPeril.

Spent 6 hours working on this one panel (of my typical 6 panels). It’s not finished, that is I’m still working on the other 5 panels. And yes I see the spelling errors… will fix… The designer character is an inside joke (it’s a likeness of one of my friends. He wanted me to put him in a comic :smiley: ).

Hi CGfolks, here is my contribution.
This is quite old stuff, 8 years old or so and it was made in flash with a mouse.
I have animated version as well, but since this is a comic strip forum I didn’t upload it.
Hope you like it.

Looks cool Balage. You should image tag it here… for viewing pleasure. :slight_smile:

I finished two more panels (3 more to go). Six more hours. It’s not finished.

#6

You’ve got some real time dedication, Frenzi. Does it feel like the process is becoming any quicker to you?

Thanks for the contribution Balage! Pretty good for that long ago. Sci-fi is one of those more untapped topics for web comics. I especially like the effect you managed with the glass.

#7

Yes I’ve got faster (the Wacom helps a LOT). The problem now is that since I’m faster, I tend to do more. So I didn’t get faster to save time but to increase detail and content, LOL. I’m at a point where I’m finally happy with what I do… which is why I end up spending so much time on it.

I also plan on syndication of some sort. So I have build up cache of around 30 episodes for any hope of consideration.

#8

Thanks folks! Would be cool to see more stuff from other people. Guess more or less users are involved rather in making of a zbrushed-hyperreal-maya-xsi-mentalray-monster-elf-ninjaufo-mecha-manga-bigeye gna.
