Tenebrais posted:She had an account once, posted for a little while, then didn't stick around. It was been a running thing in the many years since that goons would wail over how she was driven away by bad posting and hassle her begging her to come back that we're better now. I think that part has now mainly given way to goons joking about it. And then it also turned out that she wasn't driven away, she just got bored with the forum. What actually turned her off in the end wasn't the forum, but goons endlessly going up to her at conventions apologizing for how she got driven off Also, hey Unwinder! Gamer Dilbert and Abbeycourt are both incredibly funny and charming and were probably my favorite thing that got posted here. I'm looking forward to more, whenever you get around to it

You know how a cat will sometimes tuck in its legs when lying on its stomach, making it appear not dissimilar to a loaf of bread? It's a cute thing cats do, stretched into a long form comic. Like, try to spot the cat in the below picture:

I'm posting this in both threads, because I treat the forums and discord like a live-journal but for comic making, so apologies in advance if you don't give a poo poo lol. My wife's work got me into this little, like, 20 person online comic writing workshop. I don't want to doxx myself, but it had a pretty big name there in the digital art world. It was really fun, and I learned a lot, and that's going to trickle down into my work with various degrees of success over the next few days. Though something they said that really stuck with me is how we consumed content has changed. Before, the name of the game was consistency, that when you made a comic or a YouTube, you had to constantly be putting out on a consistent schedule to make it in the algorithm. What they said was more important now was taking the time to make something good. People will engage with your content when you make it. You're competing with every single other thing that exists on the internet. That means they're not bored waiting for you to create like it used to be. They'll get a little pop up or notification if they really care, and they'll check in on you. The best thing to do is to take as much time as you need, and post when it's finished. Don't spend years trying to craft the perfect thing and don't create poo poo because you feel you need to update every Monday and Friday. Simply make the best work you can and post when it's done. Don't let perfect impede finished.  basically.Bootleg Trunks posted:back to the breakneck pacing of GOBLINS Like this is the perfect example of what to avoid, and he actually used Goblins and a few other comics to show what not to do. (I wish I had taken screenshots,) where, basically they felt like it had been too long since an update, so they finished a little chunk just to throw something out there, even though it made little sense as a page, or part of the story. They pointed out that Goblins had about 17 pages a year on average, and that some of them were like this, that it was honestly OK to post 8 times a year to avoid pages like this, because something that can be shared, even out of context is intensely more useful for being seen. I thought that was really cool. There was also some stuff that I actually started doing, and they went over the technical aspects of web comics. Like why you choose certain colors for the backgrounds of a comic page, how big gutters need to be, why to mess with them, when to draw the back of a scene, and when you can skip it. They went over fonts and stuff, and I actually got to ask questions and show off some of my work. A lot of the people there had said they had nothing to show because they were still working on it. I actually got kudos for just making something, and people were messaging me after about how "brave" I was. Which secretly kind of made me feel like poo poo, because we all know what brave means lol. (It means I look like a boy wearing make up and a dress, and that I put myself out there even though it looks like poo poo. u_u) I got to ask on basically 1:1 experience (with a bunch of people watching) about some of the design things I'm doing, like the slightly tinted boxes and mixing fonts, and they thrilled me when I got feedback. (It's fine mostly, they complimented me on that, and how it was cool to take how a font and color feels and using that to add personage to a character outside of writing and drawing.) It was a lot of fun; I learned a lot, and the entire time I got to poo poo post in GBS while learning. Big win for me.

Sounds like decent advice. I'm a goddamn perfectionist when it comes to artistic endeavors, and one of the hardest but most important lessons I'm still struggling with is to settle for "good enough".

I agree with the reasoning here but I am obviously philosophically at odds with their conclusion. Posting on a schedule is indeed no longer important, but it's much better to post a lot of ideas fast than it is to post something perfect now and then. I guess what this guy was mostly against was posting padded filler (based on that example image), which I agree with. But it's much more important to get a lot of ideas out there and hope that some of them stick than it is to post consistent quality.
