Manga Month (MaMo) 2011

[Rio]

There was one on publishing and converting from RGB to CMYK but I don't really think that pertains to this thread so I'm still looking around my saved files. C:

Arrgh.

Why is it so hard to write comedy?

Does anyone know any good webcomic/manga writing advice sites?

[Bacon_Barbarian]

... Well, there's the Manga Apps group on dA. And you know, Manga Tutorials.

Since I couldn't think of a good story in a short time, I'm adapting one of the stories my friend wrote into manga form. It's about a guy who eats hair.

@ DrPumpkin
If you're thinking too hard in how to make a joke, then it's not funny. I would just go with the flow and think, "How would x character interact with y character in a funny way?" and just go from there.

@ saphira
A guy who eats hair? :O Call me intrigued!

Yeah, its weird and all, but the point of the story, the emotions and all is extremely good. i wonder if i'll be able to do justice to it. maybe i should look for something else. If you want to read it : here

chotto matte kudasai.... so where do we upload it? oh, and will the whole participants be critizing the manga too? that would be really helpful.

You can either post it online on sites like SmackJeeves, DeviantArt, Imageshack, or upload it in the Gallery (it would be best if you set it as an album). Or if you prefer, I can upload it and create the pages to read it. If you're going to send it to me though, please follow these guidelines:

1. send image files only (jpg, png, bmp, etc)
2. please send pages at the same height (width could be anything) in pixels; preferably at a reasonable and readable size
3. title each page in the following format: manga_title_c000_000.xxx (c = chapter and the number after is the page number)
It would be best if you zip them and send them to me, btw.

... Snow day today! Maybe I can get a page or two one.
