“NICE ONE!” Stede praises with a laugh when Izzy’s mortar instantly takes out the approaching ship in the distance. The poor little ship didn’t even stand a chance. None of them did! Not with the two of them launching mortars at any ship that date approach them during the plunder. Of course, they were supposed to approach them, they were supposed to stop the plunder, but they were failing miserably and it was absolutely hilarious and entertaining to watch. “I’ve got this one.” Stede then goes quiet as he aims his mortar to the north, timing it as the ship just approaches the large circle. Then he presses the trigger button, launching the mortar and… BOOM. It blows the ship to pieces, hitting it dead on just as Izzy’s did, eliciting cheer and laughter from the blond.

“ Look at that!! “ Izzy suddenly shouted in praise of his boyfriend, pointing to the television with his own boom of laughter. This silly pirate game, Skull and Bones had become their own playful addiction.

Now they were just sitting and plundering, having what they called target practice. “ You get this next shot and you win! “ Their bet was first to ten. And ten points meant someone owed someone a backrub.

Saw this on Reddit lol…

LOOK IF WE COULD DON’T YOU THINK WE WOULD?!…

Like I can’t help but give you all the context, especially because whatever I don’t give context on or overexplain will be the thing people criticize or point out…. I mean I feel like it should be less- the audhd person should say less and more - people should learn how to read? Right? Like the solution isn’t - well he should just say less and not write essays because then they wouldn’t think he’s manipulative, it’s - how bout we give people the benefit of the doubt and learn how to read lol? Or don’t and then don’t talk about it.

We all need to just give people more grace as fellow human beings, instead of thinking someone is dumb for a misspelling maybe consider that English isn’t their first language or they are dyslexic or autocorrect broke, you don’t know what’s going on, so instead of thinking the worse of them consider that they might just be doing the very best they can just like you.

two questions.

one, HOW DOES ONE COMIC/STORY BOARD??

IM OBSESSED WITH HOW YOU DO IT ITS SO BEAUTIFUL

two, HOW DO YOU SO IT SO FAST( that’s question is more just me being super impressed oh my goodness)

you’re very good😳

Aw, sweet, a board question *puts on serious glasses*

Ok, bring it on anon.

So, the first thing to ask yourself when starting a comic, as I see it, is what type of board are you dealing with. Webtoon? A4 pages? 4 panels? There are many ways to go about it, and each involves different processes. For example, pages will allow for more superfluous scenes, whereas the webtoon format has to be super succinct because of the reading direction. I personally think that's the main reason I do pages, among other advantages: •narrative density •variety •Tumblr-friendly format

There are quite a few disadvantages too but you have to go through the process of trials and errors to really find out what suits you best!

Then there's the ambition of the sequence you're boarding for. And it goes from 1. how used I am to boarding this kind of sequence/drawing these characters/setting and backgrounds, to 2. is it an emotional sequence? Dialogue-heavy? Or more contemplative?

It changes the way you work and how you should approach your board! For example, in TMS, the very wordy chapters (4 and 5 for ex) generally called for simple and narrow framing. Of course, you don't want to bore the reader so you can spice things up to match the characters mood and reactions once in a while, but you have to bear in mind that the sequence aims to provide dialogue and information = the text bubbles are key and WILL take a lot of place. So let them.

( then again, it's all about pacing and balance. A page full of dialogue and one with too much happening are equally hard to read and boring to do)

Only dialogue, simple squares, no compostion, the focus is on Mel's reaction

On the other hand, parts 7 and 8 are all about action and atmosphere! This makes for wider and more varied shots!

They're fighting, things are going fast so why not use a single line to show many actions! They're still basically squares and rectangles but the pacing is totally different!

Or why not give the action a full page to really show its sheer impact

You can also split things, with a zoom or small time gap, depending on if it's a gag or if you want to put the focus on a reaction. Here, the asymmetry helps reinforce the unstable, jerky aspect of the scene. The situation is getting out of hand, and visually, the pages are affected too.

Now, these are case-by-case examples. And I never work on my pages separately.

For context, this-

-is the "first" board I did for part 8.

The drawings are very small and frankly difficult to make out, but the intention is what matters at this point lol I have the script (very important) next to my canvas, and I scribble the pages one after the ither. This allows me to see if the actions flow well, if the compositions are varied and also whether certain passages are too long or too short in regard to their importance. Which scenes can be merged? Removed? Toned down or if they deserve more bite?

This is a really fun and creative part but, I'll say it again, made a lot easier with a solid scipt. And I'm talking about a text document with clearly defined dialogues (or at least outlines) and actions.

I can't really explain how to write a script, it really depends on your work flow and how confortable you are with writing, but it's too important to just rush through it. No matter how much it changes before, during or after your finish boarding (cuz you gotta break your own rules sometimes and you'll often realize some things don't work as well once you put them on paper/sometimes art block can be resolved by writing the scene and just taking the time to imagine) but it's still your one guideline.

Aaaand, that's about it.

Other than that, I can only highly recommend reading lots of comics, Webtoon, books, watching movies, paintings, illustrations, animatics or listening to music, to inspire you and expand your own "personal library of references". Professional or not, anything your find inspiring and well executed. Boarding is at its core, telling stories. No art skill involved, just pure subjectivity. At the end of the day, it's all about squares, rectangles and bubbles so you gotta work on your creativity. The rest is gut feeling!

Constantly ask yourself how to tell this story, and how you want to tell it. How this sequence should be perceived? What do you need to show to make pages and pages of words appealing and interesting.

Be patient, be bold. Start with easy stuff to get some confidence if you need to. Accept that "boring" pages are smt necessary and that it's up to you to build up tension for a scene to really pop. Try new ideas and be ready to scrap many of them, the result will be worth all the work!

Now, concerning the "fast" part, I'm flattered but I personally think I'm super slow xD You prbly get that impression bc I finish the whole chapter before posting it, but behind the scene, I'm just working at a very regular pace.

Thank youuu anon ♡( ◡‿◡ )

Walter boy scratching his head, looking cute, being cute, y'know know how it is

Description and the ref pics i used for this outfit!!

ID: Digital drawing of Walter Beckett from Spies in Disguise. He is a young white man with blue eyes and chestnut hair. His eyebags are very visible and his hair is messy. His left eye is shut and his face is pinched in an expression of concentration as his right hand scratches his head. He is wearing a black beanie with some floppy and long bunny ears on either side of it, going past his shoulders. He is wearing a zipped jacket that is divided into three big stripes of color, horizontally, almost by thirds: the one closest to the head is a very dark red, the one in the middle is a cream color with dark grey zig-zag details on the bottom and the top of the stripe and in the middle there are two dark red bunnies facing the red zipper, which is right in the middle of the jacket, running along the body, and the last stripe is a brighter red, the same color of the collar of the jacket. The zipper is silver.

the pics were from pinterest sooo yh :))
