So I am working on a new project. A motion webtoon (motion webcomic).

Think of it as a colored manga with some animation. Not 100% animated but not static pictures either.

And here is the synopsis: 
 

Quote

The Hiroo Senior High School’s detective club is in trouble!! They are in danger of being disbanded for lack of club activity. For a detective club they don't really solve anything. Not because they're lazy or inept, but there just isn't anything to solve. That is until one day, when they find a mysterious notebook left behind by a student who supposedly transferred schools.

I already discussed this in detail in a AF blog post that can be found here: 

Now I haven't watched Hyouka yet. Heck I just learned (thanks to this club) that Hyouka is similar to my story synopsis.

I don't watch a lot of mystery anime but I do enjoy the genre.

So I'm thinking if anyone wants to collaborate in creating a mystery that the four club members will solve? I have some ideas but I don't know which one to pursue.

I also don't know how to write a mystery. I just know that you have to work backwards. Start from the end and work your way in reverse.

Too bad, but this happens. Who knows, maybe at some point you might continue it or make a new one about the idea. I did find the concept interesting  

Yup. That's why I don't really throw away ideas or projects, I just shelf them. Maybe someday it can evolve into something else.

 

20 hours ago, Seshi said:

A while back I was writing a story that I discontinued because aside from the initial intro, I had no idea what to do with the actual bulk of the story. So, I ended up just keeping the intro as a short story on its own and abandoning the further continuation.

Wow. That's not a bad strategy. I should give that a try sometimes. Sometimes reducing something actually makes it more.

I've been gone from AF for about 2 months, and it seems there are some new things added.

Like this club which I really like. Because it seems there are members who do work on creative projects.

So post only finished projects here, I guess my webtoon is considered "finished". Not because it has ended but because I discontinued it. 

For some background here is the original thread: 

And here is where you can find the webtoon itself: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/founders/the-routine/viewer?title_no=300915&episode_no=1&fbclid=IwAR3ak3JLWBbEl9MCPI6caO3b1mfyn4FKu0uCGKkZmYl2ez2PN17UPk8b2QQ

I decided to stop making the project as it seemed I was the only person interested in a webtoon or anime about tech startups.

(Aside from the few supportive members here in AF who were kind enough to check it out)

And that's a common mistake. We tend to think that since we like Thing A, that the whole world must also like Thing A.

And most of the time, that's not the case.

This got me thinking, as a fellow creator, what are projects you've discontinued and why?

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K

Quote

Kusuo Saiki is a typical 16-year-old high school student… except he has psychic powers. He can use them to get whatever he wants, but he also knows everything that people are thinking. Everything. No surprises, no secrets, no normal human experiences. He's kept his powers in check since childhood, but with the temptations of high school now on his mind, he's bending the rules—and spoons. - Anime Planet

Have you heard of My Hero Academia?

And One Punch Man? By the same creator of Mob Psycho 100.

For me the bigger issue with a tablet was the disconnect from where my hand/pen was - on the tablet - and where the line I was drawing showed up - on the screen.  I don't have a problem with a mouse because it is a relative thing, but when I was trying to put the pen down on the tablet to draw a line at a particular point on the screen... that was when I had problems.  I could never seem to put the line just where I wanted it to go.  It isn't an issue on a tablet-type device like my boox were the tablet is integrated into the screen, but it was a problem for me on a tablet on my desktop PC with the screen separate from the tablet.

Oh yeah I forgot about that part too. A lot of people say they also have that problem starting out.

What's weird is that I never experienced that problem. I guess it differs from person to person.

And there are drawing exercises that train you to draw without looking at the paper. (That sounds like a good idea for a tutorial....)

Not boring by description just the first episode was very slow. I'll stick with it for a bit though. 

It's a great classic. But it's very long. Not gonna blame you if you decide to bail.

Aside from the already mentioned:

Death Note? (I'm guessing you watched that already)

Paranoia Agent

Quote

In the streets of Tokyo, a new menace has surfaced: Shounen Bat, a young boy who wears golden roller skates and a baseball cap, and likes to whack people on the head with a golden baseball bat. These seemingly unconnected and random attacks soon become a police investigation... but after all is said and done, is there a pattern to this chaos? - Anime Planet

This is quite a stretch already but hey....
 

Eden of the East

Quote

In the year 2010, on a day called ‘Careless Monday', ten missiles hit the cities of Japan; miraculously, there are no casualties and the event quickly fades from public memory. Some time later, Saki Morimi decides to visit Washington, DC on her graduation trip to America, but that day begins a series of bizarre events. After getting into trouble with the police, she's rescued by a young man who is completely naked save for a gun in one hand and an even stranger item in the other - a phone credited with 8 billion electronic yen and a female voice on the other end called Juiz who will fulfill his every wish. Having no recollection of his past and calling himself ‘Akira Takizawa', the young man accompanies Saki back to Japan in the hopes of discovering who he is. Akira's enigma quickly proves fascinating and Saki decides to help him rather than reunite with her family; but what neither realizes is that Akira is embroiled in a dark game of life and death linked to the Careless Monday missiles. Has Saki just made a terrible mistake, and can Akira unravel his own mystery before they both lose everything? - Anime Planet

Create our own language??

Isn't that like really hard? But don't let me stop you though.

For the creatures, what do you have in mind?

I second the Wacom.

But it also depends on your area and what tablets are available there. Unless you shop online.

It is of course different than drawing on paper. It's slippery. You tend to Undo and repeat drawing that line or curve again and again.

They say you get used to it though. I never did. But maybe I didn't use my tablet enough.

 

There was this Jackie Chan game on the Playstation 1 that I found so hard to finish. It was extremely difficult. (at least for me)

I got angry so many times that I decided it wasn't worth it. I'm playing games to have fun not to get stressed.

So I quit. Even to this day I never tried again.

It's funny too because whenever you paused the game, Jackie Chan would say something like "So that's it? You're just gonna walk away?" 

I am gonna be super biased here as I made a website that collects review scores and gives them a universal score. (it's in my signature if you're curious)

Similar to MAL but waay better. 

But yes, reviews and scores and Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes aren't for everyone. But here is my reasoning why I depend on reviews.

1. I don't think I'm better than a professional critic.

Now some would say, but there are no real critics in anime!! I think there are. There are people out there who've watched more anime than you and so their judgement is probably better than yours. Since they have that tremendous amount of experience to draw from.

It's not that I can't tell if I like a show or not. It's just that I "feel" I like an anime or not. While these critics can tell me exactly why I like it or not.

People are sometimes too confident in their ability to tell if something is good. This is why some people think SAO is the best anime ever. Or something like that. No offence. I don't mean to offend anyone.

2. So many anime to watch so little time.

I've always been a big believer of, "Anime to watch before you die." Because realistically, you have a limited window to consume anime. You will get old, your eyes will weaken, your hearing will weaken. Eventually you will be physically unable to watch anime or anything for that matter.

So I don't want to waste my time of mediocre or average anime. Much less crap anime. I want to watch the best while I'm still alive. Reviews help me do that. Someone already sifted through the mud and picked out the gems so I don't have to get my hands dirty.

HOWEVER I am talking about aggregated review scores here. Not just 1 review or 1 score. But a lot of reviews and scores. Then averaged. Using this system has worked well for me as I feel I've watched a lot of amazing shows. And that I'm not missing out.
 

What kind of universe?

But man, with all the anime characters out there.... That would be mind boggling.

On 8/28/2019 at 2:56 AM, Humbby said:

Yeah I know you were talking about the anime but if you're talking about a rip off the idea and the characters etc should be about the same in 2 series, and that comes from the source material.

But it has the word "Cheat" in it!! They're basically admitting it. 

Joking aside, I can't think of one from the top of my head.
By rip-off I guess you mean like a blatant copy or lazy imitation. Because sometimes coincidences happen.

Where two people come up with very similar ideas (unintentionally). There are so many people in the world, the odds of someone having the same idea as you is quite high.

I guess I always shrug it off a coincidence.

Like what @Serge heartless said, "Anime is for kids" myth. Said by people who judge too quickly.

And as fans we all know there is anime for every age.

I guess a myth believed by fans, although debatable, is that subs are better than dubs.

Or that the Japanese voices are always better than English voices.

I don't know how you debunk that though. But I'm sure that there are anime where the dub is better than the sub. 

An anime about tech startups (Facebook, Uber and the like).

That's why I made a webtoon about it. Since there is no anime like that yet. Some come close though but not quite.

But I think this is the problem if anime is only made by the Japanese. It would be limited to what they find interesting. So certain anime genres would never be made.

While Chinese anime, or Korean anime and so on can tackle things that Japan is not interested in.

The fights were AMAZING. They really went all-out making them.

Gotta give props to the people behind that.

Season 2 was good but I didn't feel it exceeded season 1 as some people believe. It just matched season 1 for me.

But season 1 was also good.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I felt the pacing was problematic. It started fine then started going too fast. Like they rushed the 2nd half.

There was no build up to the main antagonist for me. In season 1 they did a nice buildup of the evil organization and things fit into place.

But in season 2, it felt like walking casually to all-out sprinting. 

There were also parts which didn't come off clear. Particularly the scene in Mob's house. (I'm trying to avoid spoilers without resorting to using Spoiler tags)

Hi there, @Ryan Dave Jimenez has made quite a few tutorials on something like that I think. Might be useful!

Oh wow thanks for the shoutout @Illusion of Terra 

I am not a professional writer but I will do my best to help you @Dawn_Otsutsuki 

See you in the Creative forums!!

Adobe products just are not what they used to be. I personally wouldn't recommend them based on their new MO of offering their software on a subscription basis. You would end up paying a lot more to use the software over the course of, say, 24 months than you would if you're someone who intends to use that same software for a few years. It's unfortunate that they finally pulled the plug on the CS2 suite, which for a time was being offered for free (legally) after shutting down their authentication servers. I can see why then a lot of digital artists are preferring software such as Paint Tool SAI or Clip Studio Paint these days, as they are both easily affordable. Krita appears to be the most popular free software now, but it's open sourced and just doesn't seem to have a lot of support.

Great job on the tutorials, by the way. They're very well-written.

Awesome suggestions on other non-Adobe tools to use. Hope it can help other artists out there.

And thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you can understand how I write. 

For anyone still looking for harem with overpowered main characters here are some:

Strike The Blood

Quote

300 km south of Tokyo lies Itogami Island - a man-made landmass that’s been authorized by the government to house spirits, vampires, mermaids, and other magical beings who’ve been pushed to the brink of extinction. Kojou Akatsuki is one such resident who used to be a typical high school boy, until an incident 3 months ago turned him into the Fourth Progenitor - a powerful vampire - against his will. And while he’d rather stay an anonymous teenager, things change when Yukina, a sword shaman from an anti-terrorism agency, arrives with intentions to watch over and potentially eliminate Kojou... - Anime Planet

Quote

Akuto Sai enters the Constant Academy for Magick Arts hoping to become a high priest and change the world for the better.

Now, instead of making comrades and studying for his exam, Akuto finds himself fighting off monsters, bullies, and well-meaning classmates in various states of undress. If navigating a magical high school as a transfer student wasn't difficult enough, Akuto now has to deal with a cute android ordered to observe him 24-hours a day, the precocious attention of the flying, invisible and naked Keena Soga and the advances of the school's most popular girl. Will he be able to overcome his fate, pass his classes, and mend his friendship with the violent Junko Hattori, or will he succumb to his demonic destiny? - Anime Planet

Strange things are happening around the town of Suiten. The daughter of a priest begins to see strange visions, spirits have started to roam the mountains, and Tarou Komori is having unsettling dreams.

Ajin

Quote

 

Mysterious immortal humans known as "Ajin" first appeared 17 years ago in Africa. Upon their discovery, they were labeled as a threat to mankind, as they might use their powers for evil and were incapable of being destroyed. Since then, whenever an Ajin is found within society, they are to be arrested and taken into custody immediately.

Studying hard to become a doctor, Kei Nagai is a high schooler who knows very little about Ajin, only having seen them appear in the news every now and then. Students are taught that these creatures are not considered to be human, but Kei doesn't pay much attention in class. As a result, his perilously little grasp on this subject proves to be completely irrelevant when he survives an accident that was supposed to claim his life, signaling his rebirth as an Ajin and the start of his days of torment. However, as he finds himself alone on the run from the entire world, Kei soon realizes that more of his species may be a lot closer than he thinks. - My Anime List

 

Hell Girl

Boogiepop Phantom

Devilman: Crybaby

Quote

 

Devils cannot take form without a living host. However, if the will of an individual is strong enough, they can overcome the demon and make its power their own, becoming a Devilman.

Weak and unassuming, Akira Fudou has always had a bleeding heart. So when his childhood friend Ryou Asuka asks for his help in uncovering devils, Akira accepts without hesitation. However, to Akira's surprise, the place they go to is Sabbath: an immoral party of debauchery and degeneracy. Amidst bloodshed and death, demons possess the partiers, turning their bodies into grotesque monsters, and begin wreaking havoc. In a reckless attempt to save his best friend, Akira unwittingly merges with the devil Amon and becomes a Devilman, gaining the power to defeat the remaining demons.

Though it grants him great power, this new partnership awakens an insatiable and primeval part of Akira. Having the body of a devil but the same crybaby heart, Akira works alongside Ryou, destroying those that harm humanity and his loved ones. - My Anime List

 

Ghost Hunt

Quote

 

While at school, Taniyama Mai and her friends like to exchange ghost stories. Apparently, there is an abandoned school building on their campus that is the center of many ghost stories.

He was called by the principal to investigate the stories surrounding the abandoned school building.

The next day, on the way to school, Mai passes the school building in question. While examining a strange camera she spotted inside, she gets surprised by Kazuya's assistant. Unknowingly interfering with the investigation, Mai breaks the camera and Kazuya's assistant gets injured.

Kazuya forcefully hires Mai in order to pay for the camera and replace his injured assistant. From that point on, Mai begins to learn about the paranormal world and the profession of ghost hunting. - My Anime List

He desires to leave his home behind and join the mercenary group known as Gekkostate, hoping to find some adventure to brighten up his mundane life. However, stuck between his grandfather's insistence to become a mechanic like him and the pressure of his deceased father's legacy, the only excitement Renton finds is in his pastime of riding the Trapar wave particles that are dispersed throughout the air, an activity akin to surfing.

Everything changes when an unknown object crashes through Renton's garage, discovered to be a Light Finding Operation—a robot capable of riding the Trapar waves—specifically known as the Nirvash typeZERO. Its pilot is a young girl named Eureka, a member of the Gekkostate, who requests a tune-up for the Nirvash. Their meeting sparks the beginning of Renton's involvement with the Gekkostate as he takes off alongside Eureka as the co-pilot of the Nirvash. - My Anime List

Armed with Chamber, an autonomous robot, 16-year-old lieutenant Ledo of the Galactic Alliance joins the battle against the monsters. In an unfortunate turn of events, Ledo loses control during the battle and is cast out to the far reaches of space, crash-landing on a waterlogged Earth.

On the blue planet, Gargantia—a large fleet of scavenger ships—comes across Chamber and retrieves it from the ocean, thinking they have salvaged something of value. Mistaking their actions for hostility, Ledo sneaks aboard and takes a young messenger girl named Amy hostage, only to realize that the residents of Gargantia are not as dangerous as he had believed. Faced with uncertainty, and unable to communicate with his comrades in space, Ledo attempts to get his bearings and acclimate to a new lifestyle. But his peaceful days are about to be short-lived, as there is more to this ocean-covered planet than meets the eye.  - My Anime List

 

Chivalry Of A Failed Knight

Quote

 

There exist few humans in this world with the ability to manipulate their souls to form powerful weapons. Dubbed "Blazers," these people study and train at the prestigious Hagun Academy to become Mage-Knights; among the students is so-called failure Ikki Kurogane, the sole F-rated Blazer. However, when the worst student in the academy sees Stella Vermillion, an A-ranked Blazer who also happens to be a princess, naked, she challenges him to a duel with dire stakes—the loser becomes the slave of the winner. There’s no possible way that Stella can lose, right?

Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry follows the story of Ikki as he tries to prove his strength to a world that believes him to be the weakest, all the while gaining new friends, wisdom, and experience.

i find it cheaper, and somewhat more fun (though its probably couse im a nerd)

Well it is really cheaper. Because art supplies will run out and need to be bought again.

I also want to switch to fully digital someday. As soon as I learn how to sketch with my tablet. 

Did you draw it while you were on the bus? Or when you got home?

It's pretty cool that you can draw from memory.
