Comic Question, Input
10 years ago
90sgirlHey all! So lately I have been debating on how I want to do my comic, "Dissociative" Because I found a few... peresonal faults when it comes to my art work and seeing as this comic is my baby, I want to give it the best of what I can do.
For example, my detail and inking is a LOT stronger traditionally, yet my coloring tends to be much much stronger digitally (shading I'm better at traditionally but I think I'm ok digitally) So I had the idea to ink the comic traditionally and do the rest digitally. I would reeeeally love your input on this, to make sure it looks it's best.
I WILL be uploading the first page to my mini adult comic "Spring Fever" today, and it is being done with traditional ink and digital coloring. Please feel free to tell me how you feel about it, and be honest!
Eventually I will be uploading a side by side comparison so you can really get a good feel of it.
Personal input:
I like the clean-ness of digital but I feel that, with this comic, it shouldn't be clean, it is a heavy story and quite serious, so I think the lines should reflect that. I like the graininess of the lines, it feels more like a traditional styles comic that you would find in most comic books.
Other:
I kind of want to play around with Kezhon's mentality... I have him with Dissociative Identity Disorder but I kind of want to keep it up to question if it is DID or a severe form of Schizophrenia where he believes he is becoming different people, his alters are of course, broken fragments of his personality, all of which are trying to force him to acknowledge all the pain in trauma he's had in his life so that he can face them and actually start to heal. zhe does hallucinate and hear them, which... can happen on SOME, repeat, SOME occasions in DID. Hmmm... either way it's going to be slightly exaggerated for the sake of the story but, let me know what you think.
Anyway,
All input helps!
Thanks in advance!

Otherwise, I say draw it traditional and then color it in digital.
Awesome thank you!
Also since this is something other people will be reading I would like to know what would look good to them, what makes something attractive and intriguing to check out
Schizophrenia sounds like a much more interesting aspect to Kezhon, since having 'different people' in his head would explain his sudden bi-polar swings and quick changes in his mood as well.
Hey good luck on your comic baby btw
That's what I was thinking, I may have it kind of mentioned that it's up for debate because he's so difficult to work with mentally, that some will say "He's schizophrenic" and others say "No it's DID" which I feel would help explain on why his progress is so slow, because people can't decide how he should be treated.
Thanks a ton ^^
I can see the confusion people can see when it comes to figuring out his condition. It may be just me, but the Schizophrenia would fit more, but I suggest to do some research before making a final decision. Once chosen, please make sure its in his ref sheet/info box/description so it can clear up any confusion before-hand.
No prob! :3c
Yeah, in fact the research I have done has pointed out that they do get confused for one another quite often because they do have things in common. Of course to both ^^ I always do research to make sure that, even though I'm sure some things will be exaggerated, it'll portrayed properly and I always update refs when I change something :D again I'm a precise person so haha no worries there
The research part is good to do so that to not get things mixed up. You are indeed a very precise person from what I seen (refs, journals, etc) :3c
Of course :3 Haha awesome, I've always wondered how people view me online, how much shows through
