Thank you for your "unsolicited s...Hi Violet!<br /><br />Thank you for your "unsolicited suggestions" XD<br /><br />1) I also thought about daily updates, but it is very difficult to produce comics everyday since I have to do other things during the day and make a living TT<br /><br />2) Actually the artwork that I used to do at wretch is better (imo) than what I do now. I think I had more energy back then and did life drawing often because I was teaching. I hadn't done that for like 3.5 years now and so I kept my drawing skills up by drawing comics, but it's different. I tried to do short stories... but... didn't work out (maybe wrong target market too or not enough fans, not sure).<br /><br />3) Actually those are considered as comic books, but because these are unique to Asia, the west hasn't got a category name for it yet. I intend to introduce such style to English speaking world. And yes, I did consider to do something like that, that's why I did this series: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/evacomics&category_id=12762871<br />But like I said, it didn't work out... and I wasn't sure why....maybe like I said, wrong target market, wrong language? not enough fans?Evacomicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03001049594351073991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176594021472400446.post-17699358183155528682013-09-10T04:39:51.275+08:002013-09-10T04:39:51.275+08:00Here is a whole load of unsolicited suggestion...h...Here is a whole load of unsolicited suggestion...hahaha. <br /><br />1) Daily updates? I know you are currently doing weekly updates and that it is hard work to finish the artwork for one strip, so this might not actually be feasible. The idea is that daily updates could probably get you more likes on Facebook. It would be cool if reading your comics could become part of the daily routine for your readers. I'm sure you know of many fb pages that resort to sharing funny photos from all over the internet to maintain interest in their page while their followers wait for updates. I also know you are not willing to do that just to garner likes, thus my suggestion.<br /><br />To make it easier, you could have weekly themes so that you can actually draw everything at once. With one idea, you can come up with 7 different variations for the week. Since colouring is going to be hard work, perhaps you can consider b&w strips for weekdays and coloured ones for weekends (like newspapers?). Just wanted to throw this idea out there (if somebody haven't already mentioned it).<br /><br />2) I was very impressed with the artwork for the strips that you did for your wretch page. Have you considered actually trying to come up with a story? I would think you're actually good enough to draw an entire manga series by yourself. Of course, a good story would actually be more important. Maybe you can try to do a short story, or....<br /><br />3) Work towards publishing an illustration book? Sometimes I enjoy reading through books like 150cm Life by Takagi Naoko, or 恋爱ing by Sana. I don't actually consider those comics, they illustrate aspects of their lives following a common theme and I find it interesting enough to actually want to spend money on it. 恋爱ing was so funny that after reading a borrowed copy from the library, I actually went out to buy a copy. 150cm Life itself had a title intriguing enough for me to want to buy it and read the contents. The thing about these books are that they are internationally attractive, because it is easy to relate to them no matter where you are from. <br /><br />I'm done with the suggestions, I'll leave an honest thought to end off. I am not likely to be willing to buy a published work if I know it can be found online for free. Personally, I would be more willing to spend on the works I mentioned in point 2 and 3. <br /><br />Jiayou! I hope your dream to get published comes true soon!Violetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176594021472400446.post-26022679801285635492013-09-02T13:15:35.702+08:002013-09-02T13:15:35.702+08:00I feel you are being very rude by refusing any adv...I feel you are being very rude by refusing any advice. Be humble, there are people out there that might be willing to help you expecting nothing in return.<br /><br />And to be honest... your comics suck (no insult intended). You don't have a strong product that many people would be willing to spend money on it. You have to improve it... a lot.

You can filter from which country the people should be, age, interests, language, hobbies etc.!<br />It doesn't cost much and you can determine how much money you want to spend per day. Even 50yen per day will work out eventually! :)<br /><br />If you want to gain something, you also need to invest something first.<br /><br />Good luck! ^^zoomingjapanhttp://zoomingjapan.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176594021472400446.post-292516943125585952013-08-24T21:50:13.972+08:002013-08-24T21:50:13.972+08:00Can't help but laugh at the last drawing.
