Hi, I do On the Shoulders of Giants which is like a post-apocalyptic slice of life, could I please be put in the wall of links in the first post? I also am OP for the Making Comics thread so you know I'm amazing and am all about webcomics.

Tenebrais posted:Is this a change in what new artists are doing, or is it just that slightly-fantastical slice-of-life comics don't get popular at all now since a lot of the old classics still exist? (Or otherwise aren't interesting now that a lot of more focused stories are around) From my experience, it's been a combination of things. For one, the move away from newspaper-style grid strips--which were easier to do for daily updates--and more of the indie comics feel getting more traction. Also, kids that grew up on less conventional comics and graphic novels are old enough to be making their own stuff now, that kind of thing changed the visual landscape, too. Social media helps a lot, too. I mean it used to be forums for advertising your new comic, maybe a banner exchange or you'd make it up the ranks of a top webcomic listing service. If you were lucky a big name comic might link to you for a day or two, but it was hit and miss if readers would stay. It was really hard to get people coming back if you weren't doing rigorous updates. Nowadays, with so many different opportunities for cross-linking and networking, you can get more invested readers even if your stuff is relatively new if it looks polished and promising. Plus people can follow you in any number of ways and get instantly notified when you update rather than hope they remember to open their "Rarely Updates" bookmark folder. That's my 2 cents anyway.

Captain Oblivious posted:The worst I can say about GtH is that it reminds me at times of Kazerad and his unabashedly cynical approach to pandering with his webcomic endeavors. Which isn't a bad thing because ultimately, pandering to rather underrepresented groups isn't the worst thing in the world, but I don't think it has much meat as a story independent of those qualities. Can you really call it pandering when it's drawn by someone who herself is a member of those specific groups? It's not a built-by-committee story, it seems to me it's one person's worldview and experiences presented for like people.

mycot posted:I think I'm getting multiple webcomics confused again, is Strong Female Protagonist the one about someone whose sister is a famous superhero and I think has black and white drawings? And if it is, I'm guessing the plot drifted a lot since then. You've got the right comic, you just have a couple things mixed up. It did start in black and white and there was a point in the story where the main character--the famous former superhero--goes back home and talks with her non-super powered sister.
