I am proud to announce that we have officially started the comic, Crescent Wolf! Krypt is setting up the comic as we speak. Come and see if you'd like! :D

Interesting... You should have had your comic on the main page though, and you misspelled "our" on the image. I can't give you much of a crit of the comic since you haven't gotten anywhere but the first page, but there are a few things I would recomend you doing. Make the drawings darker, it's not easy to see your light pencil and it looks odd with the pure black lines of text boxes. The text is also awfully small, it makes it kind of hard to read. Good try though, with practice and refining I'm sure you both can make a good product. I could never stick with a project this big.

In other news, I spent the $3 I owed my art teacher in my dream. :lol: Yum, slushies!

That would be Krypt's typos. I still need to get him to fix that. I presently have no access to the webshell.

We are simply taking the image, scanning it, cleaning it up, adding the boxes on our own along with the text, using paint. Once we get to coloring them, we'll be using GIMP. I guess in a sense, we are doing it the hard way, but hey, some have to when they can't afford an easy ticket to accomplishment.

Oh, I meant for getting it on the website. XD One quick hint though, you really shouldn't use spaces in your filenames.

it is a good start although, revealing he is an actually furry and not a true human right at the start just ruins it a bit. It kinda ruins the suspense, and I'm always a guy for suspense and cliff hangers. But I guess it's good for a start and heck I should shut up you've progress into a web comic, I won't be able to get at that point for a few years. ^_^;;

no I clicked the character page. "Anthro krypt". Main character is named krypt... easy guess but the title of the comic helped. =P

I felt putting this here about ideal of webcomics.

Tips:
Make at least 20 comics before applying. This shows the host that you are serious about wanting to do a comic.
This is a responsibility. Do it because you have a story to tell, not because it would be "neat" to have a comic. If you don't have a general idea of where the comic is going; STOP. Sit down, and think. If nothing is coming, then you're better off not doing one at all.
Update schedual. Having a regular update schedual instead of random gives a sense of professionalism. People don't like having to check to see if a comic is updated, they want to know that they can visit on certain days and see a comic. You can have some leeway, take breaks, filler, etc. But it's important to come up with a schedual that you can keep to.
Do NOT apply for a subforum for your comic unless you have at least 20 comics up on your site, and still showing signs of activity. They do not want to make forums for small, dead webcomics.
Take the time to do some work on your site before you "premiere" it. It doesn't have to be the final design, but it'll look a lot better than a white page that still says COMIC TITLE AUTHOR NAME.
Use the cadet handbook. You can find the link to it in the forums. Pretty much every question relating to site design can be found there.


This is mainly tips which can only help you on comic making. If you avoided these then your comic is just doomed to be classified random crap. This is why I'm setting back my web comic idea back a year or two instead of going "I've got my 1st strip up and have a good story plot which I will only make sense until the 100eth strip... lets start the webcomic now!" I ain't nagging I'm suggesting this to help. I don't want to lose more respect to you by being unplanned and anusance which I don't want to hear about constantly.
