Welcome to #WebcomicTalk, the #Fediverse #webcomic discussion hashtag. Our topic this week is "translation" and we'll have five questions over five days. Let's begin.

Question 1: How languages does your comic support? Have you provided any translations?

Please boost the question if you answer it, and include the hashtag #WebcomicTalk to spread the discussion. You can answer any question at any time as you see them.

Just posted a new #LandWalk page with a little discussion of my lack of paneling (for anybody who's interested 😊)

And with new #comics on the way we are always looking to answer questions... and we'll promote your stuff as well!

Just hit up the "Ask the Bots" page and send your burning question to one or all of the bots and we might answer it as a #webcomic update.

We also love "Would you Rather?" questions, so go nuts.

#RGBots #indieComic #webcomicTalk

It's done! All 250+ #RGBots comics have been moved from #Twitter to the official website! I have deleted the Twitter account as well.

Starting tomorrow new #comics will start appearing on the website and I'll be posting them here on the #Fediverse! Please help a creator out by boosting and liking comics when they get posted.

@webcomictalk - So, my latest updates are actually fairly old. My latest comic, "A Wish for Wings" updated only a few months ago, which is quick for me. The more popular one, "Closetspace" was last updated 2021.

I don't consider them dead, but my updates are tied to my physical and mental health these days (I've been dealing with a pinched nerve and eyesight issues since 2011).

Just wrote a new installment of my biweekly #webcomic column on The Duck Webcomics; I tackle classic shot/reverse shot choices in the #comic 'Pious' by Hulder.

You can read my thoughts here: https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/news/2023/sep/08/panel-by-panel-pious-and-the-shotreverse-shot/

Hey #WebcomicTalk. I run a side account that runs #hashtagGames here on the #Fediverse called #HashItOut, and sometimes those are drawing games.

Please consider joining in on the fun. You could consider it a way to get your stuff out there in front of a potential new audience.

This weekend, the game is #DrawABoat. Check out the post to learn more. Maybe you'll win the game: https://retro.pizza/@hashitout/111028178153353849

This week for #WebcomicTalk I would like everyone to share their latest comic update as a reply to this toot and have everyone boost the shared updates to their own feeds, and/or leave a comment.

Everyone can use the pick-me-up once in a while and we can spread the word about our #comics. So, keep an eye on the replies here, boost some comics, and drop some kind words if you can this week!

I would love to do this every other week.

Fun little anecdotal analysis re #webtoons vs. #ComicFury

I started posting #LandWalk episodes to Webtoons four months ago and have gotten 263 total views.

I started posting individual pages to Comic Fury 25 days ago (shout out to the #MastoArt community for the recommendation) and am averaging ~152 viewers per day.

It's not a perfect comparison, and different comics may have different experiences, but for #indiecomics creators looking for a platform I'd def recommend checking out Comic Fury!

To all the #webcomic and #DigitalArt creators out there, I have a question!

I'm hoping to get a tablet to make my drawing a little more portable. My issue is that there are so many options and the only thing I know to consider is size

Are there any features you think make or break a tablet for drawing or are otherwise worth considering? Also, same question about styluses!

Thank you! 😊

A new #LandWalk page is up! I'm aiming at uploading on Mondays from here on out :)

We won't have any questions for this coming week of #WebcomicTalk, but I think I want to try something that will spread some joy. We'll probably do that on #WebcomicWednesday.

@webcomictalk digging back through the old prompts, I thought now was a good time to respond to the #inspiration Q b/c I just caught up on "Owl People" by @toadlett (Thank you @7ZZ7 for the recommendation!)

https://owl-people.thecomicseries.com/

It's got such a wonderful flow, gradually revealing a spectacular world and developing some bang-up characters along the way.

It's really a hit for me on every front - the art *chef's kiss* the writing 🤩, the world, character, and plot development 💯 🔥.

Also, just to throw it out there, their Patreon is super affordable....

Q.5 I'm obsessed with the brushes from RaikaRan for CSP/SAI because they are excellent for textures and fabric patterns. I do use the asset store for 3D models, but I usually stick to the free ones.

Welcome to #WebcomicTalk, the bi-weekly #webcomic #fediverse discussion hashtag for creators! This week's topic is software. This is the final question this week.

Question 5: Do you have any resources, tools, or plugins for the software that you use that you want to share?

Please be sure to boost the question and include the hashtag #webcomicTalk to help other #comic creators join in the conversation.

#webtoon #indieComic #amWriting #mastoArt

Welcome to #WebcomicTalk, the bi-weekly #webcomic #fediverse discussion hashtag for creators! This week's topic is software. Two questions remain.

Question 4: Do you have a tip you can share for other creators who may be interested in the software that you use for comics?

Please be sure to boost the question and include the hashtag #webcomicTalk to help other #comic creators join in the conversation.

@webcomictalk I... intend to try out new software 😅

It's tricky b/c I've gotten into the swing with my current #comic but I'm hoping to get an iPad soon(ish) and THEN I'll try out everything. It will happen. I hope.

Q.3 I try new stuff whenever I see something I think could improve my work flow or do something cool. Like in the past I've been dancing around learning Blender, but after seeing how useful 3D assets are, and not seeing ones that quite work for sale, I've finally sat down and started learning the program.

I also really wanna try ProCreate if they ever do a PC desktop version

@webcomictalk

Q2. I have a few custom shortcuts I've built, but I tend to use my software out of the box. I don't even customize brushes much because invariably updates/upgrades scramble everything anyhow. I do have stacks of assets I save but that isn't quite the same as tweaking the software's settings

#webcomictalk

@webcomictalk

Q1. I've been using Clip Studio since it was Manga Studio back in 2006. I've also used Photoshop, Fire Alpaca in the past but I'm looking into other stuff these days because I'm really not happy with a lot of stuff Celsys has been doing recently like their attempt to implement genai and their you-have-to-constantly-verify-your-license nonsense. None of their new features justify it
