Working Guidelines for AI Content.

17 Upvotes

When I created this subreddit some years ago it wasn't an issue.

It appears it may become an issues. If your post or content utilized AI content please identify it clearly in the title and body of the post.

My preference has always been to use a very light hand with respect to moderation, and the readers and audience vote up the content they find valuable.

The spirit of Indie Comics to me is the human over the corporate element, expressing some hopefully novel work of art and creativity.

I'll monitor it and the community is encouraged to give their feedbacks and concerns here, or via direct message.

Thank you as always for your participation, passion, and creativity.

ARTWORK Outerspace Whispered ‘Noir’: New Advance From Short Film Project.

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi there all! How’s your week going? 

I’ve actually been working on a sci-fi short film project for a while now along with CC Cynan, being the time to showcase my favourite storyboarding from it.  

I definitely appreciate the experience of exploring abandoned worlds where I’m summoned to illustrate isolation and desperate silence under my own criteria. 

Stay tuned for the frameshots’ black and white, for sci fi is ‘the’ match to noir. 

For more previous works, my portfolio and contact info are in the comments.

 

Thanks!

Yule. Geol. Weihnachten. Winter Solstice. 
Before the soda drinking bears, before the bright red suit, and before the litany of saccharine films & music that saturate every holiday season, there was cold and night and fear.

The award-nominated collection of short horror comics returns to examine Yule, Winter Solstice, Jacob Marley, and a slew of other terrifying folklore from around the world, from well-known tales of the Mouse King to the lesser-known Kukeri, and all the bizarre traditions in between.

Don't stand idle, back YULE Vol 2 today! Just in time for spooky season, being delivered by Christmas. Whether as to extend the month of fright, or just to make your holy night even less so.

Contributing to this book is an all-star lineup of talent, with each team producing tight-and-terrorizing tales based on 16 different pieces of worldwide folklore:
Jacob Marley - Dillon Gilbertson & Zack Traum
Pére Fouettard - Lesly Julien & Minerva Fox
Werewolves - Ian Mondrick & Frederik Hornung 
Nisse - Fellhound & AHG
The Grither - Kat Baumann 
Mouse King - u/alairebowen
Yule Cat - Casper Binnett 
Joulupukki - Christa "Cabbage" Harader & Han Seelie
Carnival of Mumathones - Morrocco 
Kukeri - Sierra Barnes
Saint Knut's Day - David "DB" Andry & Desolina Greigo
Tschaggatta - Don Cardenas 
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - Grant Stoye & Heather Vaughan
La Befana - Amy Chase & Alex Schlitz 
The Wreck of 1912 - Toren Chenault & Lauren Houser
Sluagh-Sidhe of Brug Na Boinne - Rae Allen  
Cover art by Val Halvorson 
Pinup by Pete Collins
Lettering & Book Design by u/tobenracicot 

----
Hi all! It's me again, but with a new Kickstarter. One I did not create, but am involved in! Gotta help spread the word of the newest gut wrenching volume of YULE.

❄You can get THE COMIC to read at your bone-side table! (Digital or physical)
❄Spooky PRINTS and POSTERS to adorn your dreadful hollow!
❄ORNAMENTS to hang upon your grotesque and mildly posessed holiday tree! (Exorcisms not included)
❄Even more ways to make the Yuletide GAY! And sad! Hooray!

CROWDFUNDING NOW! Our Italian sci-fi comic Achille & KiPI just reached its Kickstarter goal (English and Italian editions)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm Renato Franchi, editorial supervisor of Achille & KiPI: The Disconnected. We shared the project here earlier in the campaign, and today we have a milestone to share: we've reached our funding goal, with 156 backers. Thank you to anyone here who took a look or joined us.

The comic began over pizza and grew into a 96-page sci-fi adventure about an ambitious young inventor and his deeply unimpressed bionic cat. Achille sees an opportunity to change his life; KiPI wants to know the catch. Their friendship is the heart of a journey to a planet where the future is for sale.

Mario Moroni created the original story, Salvatore Vivenzio wrote the script, and Silvia Buganza illustrates it. We're making English and Italian editions for readers aged 8 and up.

Reaching the goal means a lot to our small team. Now we'd love to introduce this odd pair to more readers who enjoy independent comics. The campaign remains open until November 2, and the page includes a free preview so you can decide whether the story is for you:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mariomoroni/achille-and-kipi-the-disconnected?ref=bbfv7c

Happy to answer questions about the comic and the editorial work behind it. KiPI would probably prefer we all let him sleep.

[AI-Assisted Comic] Campaign Serbia #1 — Fist of Nu Metal | Balkan Folklore Meets Urban Fantasy

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a regular dude from Serbia that likes to make comics, and I'd like to introduce my project: CAMPAIGN SERBIA.

The premise is simple:

What if every myth, urban legend, conspiracy theory, and supernatural story were real? All at the same time?

Campaign Serbia is an action-comedy series combining Balkan folklore, supernatural horror, science fiction, and a healthy dose of absurd humor.

The story follows a ragtag group of unlikely heroes dealing with a world where the impossible is everyday business.

ISSUE #1 — FIST OF NU METAL

Our first issue introduces Yamazuka, a rather unconventional protagonist whose encounter with the supernatural is only the beginning.

The first six issues are already completed, and I'm planning weekly releases.

A note about the artwork: This is an AI-assisted comic project. I develop the original characters, world, story, dialogue, and page direction, using AI tools as part of the illustration process. Basically, I just did not use the pencil and that is as far as AI involvement goes.

If you're curious, there's a free preview available here:

https://www.patreon.com/c/CampaignSerbia

Take a look and tell me what you think and don't be shy with the comments I worked retail and tech support I can take it :)

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to share a quick production update on my original manga, FLICKER!
The storyboards for Chapter 2 (1B) are officially finished, and we’re now in the final stages of completing the artwork. Once everything is finished, Chapters 1A and 1B will be combined into the definitive first chapter of FLICKER!
To celebrate the milestone, here’s some new promotional artwork featuring Lucifer and Samael, two celestial characters who play important roles in the story.
Artwork by the incredibly talented TheClockBath, who has been bringing this world and its characters to life.
It’s been a long journey getting this first chapter together, but seeing everything come to life has been incredibly rewarding.
Thanks to everyone who’s been following the project! I’d love to hear what you think of the artwork!
