In this thread I'll be posting about what I draw whenever I feel like it, ramble about the process and thoughts behind them and try to work on whatever project I have in mind.
This here is a rough, simple and crude example showing some of the characters I have created for one particular project of mine but I haven't bothered to work on it properly, it showcases the main character, the chud-like dude at the bottom left of the image, someone who's meant to be of importance to him and the story altogether, the one in the middle and the one on the top left are "the bad guys" in the setting, the duo at the middle right are a couple of young nobles, and part of the good guys, and the duo at the bottom right are side characters that have their own time to shine in the story
With all of this addressed, what I have to explain is: what the fuck is this even all about? It's a story based on those Isekai mangas where the mc is sent to a medieval like world and is tasked to save the world in order to return home, using soyjaks as the base, and happenings in the soysphere as the plot points to advance the story, all of this without the same issues found in generic isekais like the harems or the whole "winning by friendship" or in the other side of issues, the excessive gore and main character torture with overpowered mc and the souls like ambience to try to sound more mature than what it is... I haven't decided how certain things go yet into the story but I do have some parts there, and some more designs somewhere so if I can I will change them to better suit the setting.
All in all is meant to be something stupid, silly and fun to do, I always wanted to create stories ever since I was young but I've struggled when it comes to actually making the thing, so I'm inexperienced on how this works, the technical aspects of how a story works best and how to demonstrate certain moments in the story, the paneling and composition, and more... It's a big hurdle and I like to work in it as a way to prove that I, too, can do something people can enjoy even if it's dumb and repetitive, after all I believe that the real deal is not just the idea itself but how it is executed to make it stand out despite it being something simple and childish.
Yeah something like that.
Apologize if I'm not making sense, another issue I have is that I suck at writing as you can see.
Anyways here's the thread, for good.

>all of this without the same issues found in generic isekais
good to hear. from my experience, they all looked the same and yeah, they had some weird themes that you mentioned (like harems). I think the main reason you see these tropes is that isekai acts like escapism (other "genres" also are like that), so you should figure out the main/side message/s thats far away from just "MC escapes his boring and meaningless chud life and appears in this cool world where everybody desires him and he is a very, if not the most, useful guy". I had an idea for Zigle Zogle, where the MC has an "escape world" (which sometimes leaks into the real world) but the goal of the story ultimately is escaping from illusion/fantasy and facing/re-enting reality.
One thing to help ya out is learning to write a script. Here is a video explaining the basics (for movies):

Here is a site where you can check comic scripts:

You can also post your scripts here and ask for opinions. Before a script, you could also write a very basic text explaining the whole story as a reference (not needed DOE).

True, there's nothing new under the sun.
