Hats!
This episode of ScreenTones, we are talking about Hats! And we don't mean bowlers or ballcaps, we mean all the roles that webcomic creators have to do to make this webcomic thing a reality! From marketing, to drawing, to social media, to lettering, to prepress, you name it, webcomic creators do it all, and the list of hats we wear goes on and on!
Spoilers
Spoilers: planned future events in a serialized story that have not been released yet. Every creator handles spoilers in different ways. Some have no qualms about sharing spoilers and details about future events while others keep things closer to the chest. There is no right way to handle spoilers; our hosts are here to discuss the many options for webcomic creators!
Critique
For any creator, new or veteran, critique is a tool that, when used properly, can help a creator improve and grow. Reader and peer critique can allow others to use their own perspectives and life experiences to offer fresh insight into a story that the creator may already know so well. There are many kinds of critique, including beta reading, solicited and unsolicited. Our hosts explore the different types of critique and how getting/giving critique has affected them.
Villains
In today's episode, Screen Tones becomes SCREAM TONES! We're gonna talk all about VILLAINS, just in time for Halloween. Our speakers all have various villain types in their webcomics. How do they go about writing them - and why do a lot of webcomics lack a villain?
Webcomic Time
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call Webcomic Time.
Paper
Paper is the basis of many traditional mediums and a complex tool. Various terminology and the vast number of options available may be daunting for newcomers to the medium. Our hosts share their knowledge and expertise about the wonderful world of paper.
Mediums (Pilot B)
Mediums are the various tools that can be used in the creation of webcomics, whether digital or traditional. Our hosts discuss the mediums they use for their webcomics.
Inspirations (Pilot)
Whether the inspiration comes from a new favorite manga or a nostalgic childhood cartoon, these influences can be seen in everything from the art style to the tone of the story. Our hosts discuss their various inspirations and how they use their comics to give respectful nods to these works while keeping their stories fresh and new.
