Underground Comics

Tired of mainstream comics? Want something refreshing, new, revolutionary, something that makes you think? Well I am sure someone here (I included) showed know something! Mainstream comics are ok but I really do enjoy other comics that have more substance for the most part. But I do not discriminate any other comic books. Most have positive and negatives!

I havnt done this yet but I realized that flash tools are smoth and nice lookin which would be good for online comics! So using a tablet is less needed. Or you can ink and then scan and then clean it up on adobe photoshop or procreate painter. I havnt used canvas or the other famous program whatever it is. But I love procreate and photochop. As for design I would always see it as 2 parts.

1 the design of the comic (which you probably already know) Black and white should be well balanced if that is the colors you use. THEN:

2 The color of your page should compliment the color or lack-there-of, of your comic. Crisp smoothness always looks best AND:

Remember most people arnt still used to the internet so the design should be user friendly esp to keep the fans !!!

Sorry maybe what I said is all from my butt and might not mean much but it is honestly what I think since I have not put out a FINISHED webcomic or anything. Do you know of any webhosting webcomic sites, I know there are some that are free and you can post your comic either for free or charge people to see it !!!!!

Yes, I've found many free and paid webcomic hosting sites on the net like. Keenspot.com seems to be a popular one.

I will have to check out Procreate Painter. Never heard of it before. Thanks.

I'm still getting comfortable using graphic editors. But I do plan on scanning hand drawn work in the meantime.

One thing that turns me off about webcomic hosting sites is the inability to control your own model of doing business with your visitors and readers. Especially for those interested in making it their career.

Its for that reason I seek to establish another means to feature my work. How do some of you feel about this kind of thing?
