Liked this as a kid, introduced me to some african folklore. No one else seems to have seen it.
this is neat, this for sharing this!
i wanted to leave the discussion open to other non-white races too mate relax
but there non-whites with asiatic features, silly.
I think it might be interesting to see some of anansi's stories get adapted to animation, but I dont think africa is going to be putting together a lot of animation studios any time soon. At least, not ones that could produce something they would end up exporting to outside of africa. There isnt much interest in it from a western audience, especially since most of the africans that do live in the west typically dont actually know anything about african culture
>darker skin
What the frick does that even mean? Sounds racism coded.
It means someone with dark skin? Are you moronic
I've always wanted to see an animated show about the evolution of humanity. Something scientifically accurate.
It'd be about those incredibly important parts of human history that we'll never know because they couldn't be recorded, encapsulated in short stories.
The first time someone said 'I love you.'
A family drama from 100s of thousands of years ago being the thing that saved humanity from extinction when our population was much smaller.
The series would track forward through time and end maybe with the Ghana empire or Khoisan.
Many countries will brag about their history being thousands of years long. But some African countries have a genisis spanning two million years. And its really the most important story, the one that laid the foundation for everything.
I don't have any real original stories. What bits I do don't really give much indication on a character's race (or many other details) unless it is relevant. I do have one idea, though.
A medusa-style character. A modern girl, who wears dreadlocks capped on the ends with bronze clasps. When she goes "mythic mode" (activating her Medusa powers) the dreadlocks animate into snakes, with the bronze becoming patterns on their back and her eyes, and the eyes of the snakes, glowing bronze.
People she meets don't realize what she looks like because, well, are YOU going to look at Medusa's face? Especially when she really can turn people to stone?
I've had some other ideas for concepts around the character, but by this point I've attempted enough writing to know that the character development and plot progress is 90% of what makes up a story. Having a few plot highlights does not make a meaningful plot.
Have you read "Isle of Woman" and the related stories by Piers Anthony? It's fairly fantasy (the two characters keep reincarnating, remembering each other) but the general plot is that they keep finding each other later and later in human history, with the early neolithic being when they are children and they're older each time they meet in later ages.
Not exactly "scientifically accurate" but still a neat idea.
This looks really great. good luck on whatever you end up working on, even if it isn't this.
I have been considering an Urban Fantasy webcomic about a guy that can turn into a dragon, but I'm still on the drafting page.
Regardless, I have a picture on what his dragon from would look like, I wanted to know if the colors worked well.
The colors are really nice, and I'll totally read something like that. Where are you thinking about posting it? I made a webtoon account but I'm afraid of sharing it rn
Also, need to know whether to keep the claws or not.
Not sure, I've heard lots of bad things about webtoons soooo dunno.
Not quite though I don't fault you for the comparison.
Besides tone and overall plot, is I suppose the way the story goes I guess?
Vastly different when it comes to how I want to appoarch things. Big part of this series is how magic appearing in the wide world changes with it rather than focusing on protecting the rather static magical world The first major part of the story is going to sorta introducing the world itself, and the second is going into that concept. I must admit it is half inspired by the fact that I utterly despise the concept of the masquerade that so many urban fantasy books have (Dresden Files, I love you, but your masquerade is fricking nonsensical)
Not sure if this answered your question or not. I think I just used this as a way to splurge about my own shit.
>bad things about webtoons
Same but I don't think I'll run into trouble since my comic won't be super popular, nice art btw
So you are copying Jake Long
turning into a dragon is something that's been in myths for hundreds of years my guy
would it have a boondocks type of humor or take it more seriously?
OP isn't mine, it's am artist I follow, felt weird opening with my own art, I wanted to see what other anons had before I shared
Looks cool but gonna have to ask the obvious question: how does it differ from American Dragon Jake Long?
Those look really cool for a dragon’s colors
Literally all they have to do is make a Disney version of those Ananzi stories about the talking spider guy
I'd love a mature political film about Ethiopia vs Italy. Ethiopia is the only African country to not be colonized or have their borders altered, so it'd be neat to see a movie about how that worked out.
That does sound interesting
I am baffled we never got a movie about Ethiopian empire but we got movies about the Zulu and Dahomey.
An action cartoon where a little black girl who attends a ghetto middle school full of gangbangers, prostitutes, and illiterate homies decides to take matters into her own hands to defeat the evil in her school through multiple battles, shaping her school into a better place. Appeases the /misc/tards by tackling the problem with black culture and SJWs by having a strong black girl as a main character at the same time. I originally came up with this as a joke but now I think it would be kino
Afro Kill La Kill, I like it.
You also get the ToT audience.
Not gonna lie "The ToT audience" part killed my sides. More black e-girles in anime/manga would be out of left field
As a /misc/ gay i'm totally behind this, sounds like a fun concept
I would like to see another black lead pseudo anime where it isn't just about politics surrounding the black community. Boondocks was fun, but it seems limiting to have "tackling the problem with black culture" be the only stories you can tell with black characters.
What's the pic about? Is that your story, OP? You're just not gonna tell us about it?
Hero named white flame he’s a volunteer fireman that ironically his fire powers still young 16 knows he’s becoming a bit of a fire bug trying to to though puts out a-lot of fires as a fireman from his own heroics calls himself White flame because he’s fascinated by fire.
The art style is good, and the characters look likable and the personalities weren't done too lazily. I think it is possible to extract my opinion from an image!
okay since that one anon asked here's three comic ideas I have circling in my head at all times
>fallout but 70s aesthetic (one main character is black, but the one white guy is a parody of blaxploitation films) I have tons of art for this
>The Fourhorse men but it's all moms living in new york
conquest studies mk Ulta techniques, war is serial killer, famine is a gang stalker, and death is the token good guy medic
>Afro futuristic comic
the government is taking previously deceased people and turning them into android super police.
I'm working on a comic about a Hispanic brother and sister. The younger sister is agoraphobic and neurotic, the older brother has PTSD and paranoia, and together they have to solve the murder of their parents and why people on their island have gone missing.
The setting is based on Puerto Rico, so I'm saving records of all the different types of trees and plants and the architecture there.
Also planning, what is basically, HRE elves with a heavy lean on Landsknecht aesthetics.
Sounds like a solid premise dude. Also she's so adorable I wanna hug her.
Fair enough, to be honest I'm not sure I'd want to be too popular anyway so I view it as kind of a blessing.
Large fandoms are a pain in the butt
i forgot to mention that the other main character in the trio is euro-asian, because i think its funny she a combination of american/russian/korean and goes around shooting missiles at people
I guess I can share what I've done so far. It's just three pages, and it's the cold open, so you don't even get to meet the main characters yet.
But I'm (mostly) proud of what I've made.
This character is the childhood friend of one of the main characters, and her disappearance is what kicks off the story.
This is it so far.
I hope that after I do the first 8 pages, I can submit it as a proposal to maybe Image Comics or some publisher somewhere.
Hope you get picked up dude. This looks like some fun horror kino and I love that shit.
I've always been a bit hesitant to pitch things to corps myself though, too paranoid about the industry.
Glad to hear it!
Looks pretty dope
This looks awesome and I can’t wait to look further into it when it’s finished
An uprising on a slave ship to the Americas leaves several West Africans in control of the particularly large boat, and the now united group of men and women turn to piracy.
Tensions however start to rise as rifts form between the uprising's leaders:
>a tribal prince, kidnapped and sold into slavery by his rivals, who wishes to return to the continent and claim back his kingdom.
>an over-pragmatic realist who wishes to carve out their own country among the Antilles
>a gifted sailing savant that was born and raised as a tribal slave for all his life. Is now experiencing being free and in control of something for the first time, and will not give it up at any cost.
i love anything with pirates anon, sign me up do you have any character designs down?
>a gifted sailing savant that was born and raised as a tribal slave for all his life. Is now experiencing being free and in control of something for the first time, and will not give it up at any cost.
I like him already.
I remember as part of the cape story I’m writing I had one black character who originally started as a random joke I made about a guy with destructive pyrokinetic abilities, but then he grew on me and became one of my favorite capes that I had made.
He has the power to create explosions or fireworks from a skintight force field around his body and he can use them destructively or to fly, and absorb fire to fuel larger destructive blasts.
Originally the joke was just that he had a bombastic personality, but over time it became that he projects that as a method of putting some good back into the community and tries his hardest to inspire others to do good in the world despite how the news tends to portray his flashy methods of crime fighting.
It’s gotten to the point where I’m giving him a backstory inspired by the song Bang Bang, and I’ve started developing a machine themed nemesis for him to fight
One of the main side characters in the serial I'm starting is a smack talking pimp with a heart if gold that kicks serious ass.
Wasnt that stupid fricking inflatable bear guy making a comic about a black chick and then he just gave up or was he still doing it in "private"?
What
This shit. Isolation bound.
Wasn't this a patreon only thing and he got pissy about leaks or something?
If I recall it was before he went completely anonymous forever
I've never heard of this in my life, but frick it, if anyone has any of those leaks lemme take a peek. Was it any good?
It's on that tumblr that documents his shit in pieces and bits. Apparently the entire thing that was seen is just a really long intro
Dobson was making a comic again? Actually, I'm not aware of what he's even doing anymore so I guess he might be.
Middle Eastern-inspired fantasy world with analogs to the faiths and cultures of the real world, with clear nods to Berserk, Conan, Blasphemous, TOS, Elric, and LOTR, Monster Hunter. There's a "Catholic" knight, a big tall scary lady. She travels the land with a "israeli" mage, fighting monsters like the Leviathan and Behemoth, etc. Djiin, Nephilim, and other things run around.
They team up with a Muslim werewolf: the three unite to find and kill the false God, the Demiurge.
Mind if I show off a black work that's actually pretty underground? This is color money it's not that bad of an animated web series and is very black
Its a shame poltards exist I actually like Latinos that have brown skin they are cool
But most /misc/tards are latinos with brown skin
Self-hate is the most powerful hate.
I know I'm tinkering on a Western set in the late period of it, around 1886, and it features three protagonists that work together as bounty hunters. One is an older White gunslinger that converted to Christianity in his later years and is trying to live a better life despite a background of violence against people that didn't deserve it, another is a former slave that served the Confederacy in the Civil War alongside his master, and the last is a Native American woman from the Osage tribe, an outcast from her people who is a quiet spoken, towering figure that tends to hide her gender via loose clothing and a low brimmed hat.
I'm wanting it to appeal to people that just want a good story, but I suspect that it'll piss off everyone at some point in the story no matter their perspectives since the Black actually got along quite well with his master and understood, at the very least, a pragmatic position on some of the South's grievances, the gunslinger was a horrible person until he converts and pledges his life to God, and the woman is from a tribe that historically had been documented well over six feet in height, so I suspect some might not like her being what amounts to a dude with breasts in regards to physical ability
Either way, it's been fun working on the plot outline so far while also trying to fact check all the nearby events that were happening for them in the Missouri Arkansas area at the time
Love me a western
So how do you guys outline or plot or begin getting down the general script as it were.
I like to make characters first, see how they'd fit into a setting and then think about cool shit I want to happen and outline how to get to the cool shit. If i'm writing towards something having a theme or poetic beats, I try to include notes on how each section of a story relates to my message. And never have a scene that is just filler. If a character is talking about the weather to someone that needs to be a building block to something in some form
First, just write down all the ideas you have. Then, if they're disorganized, try to compile them in the order of events that you think they should happen.
Do this for all the major events of the story. So something like [We meet characters/a murder happens/ they find body in library/ they figure out all the suspects/ we go through all suspects' alibis/ expose killer/ big climax/ everyone goes home happy.]
Then, you break down those major events, detailing what's supposed to happen in them and how things lead to those major events.
Then, you have to string all the events together in a logical flow.
After you've figured out the sequence of events, you can look through and decide what needs "garnishing," or rather, where can you elaborate on scenes, on characters, on worldbuilding, etc.
After you've figured out all the events, how they connect, and what should happen when, it's much easier to write a scene.
TL;DR Take a few big blocks and arrange them in order. Then start chipping away at the block to make a general shape of what you want. Then, chip away some more until you have a specified shape of what you want. And finally, chip away more to get a detailed shape of what you want.
sauce?
