Last Thing I Promise But This Is Why I Removed The Whole Fading Thing From Warrior Cats. SO BORING. Instead

idkkk she looks weird but eh. cat

finished up to 2 minutes now yay

TWO SCENES FINISHED (1:30 minutes out of 4 lol)

gave up on full colour and the rest will be sketched like this because if I do it like that there’s a chance I can finish it sooner.. maybe

I need to talk about rain and dark and petal more. what are they doing. What are they up to. how is rainpaw going is he being bent under the stress of this weird old prophecy that should mean nothing to him. why does he keep dreaming about green eyed animals. is he stressed about it. what’s Darkwatcher doing is he questioning his entire life because Skystar smiled at him. did he see that and start going ?? bitch??? is petalclaw having a great stable life with her boyfriend or is she being forced into a leadership position she never wanted and going full batshit scary fight mode against a cat who spent the last 500 years in literal hell

I guess that's why you don't try fighting the dead, they got all the time in the world, and they got you beat in experience

hi what are you talking about. are you talking about Night. because if you're talking about Night then theres a very real possibility i could spew out a really lengthy discussion of this 👀

and 1 of four protagonists, Petalclaw since I barely draw her :]

ik this an oc blog BUT MOONPAW

bro I’m going to fail all my exams next week

fully convinced my brain is a whole seperate entity or something and I’m just along for the ride

Hey weird question but how do you write a comic? Do you write a script for important events? Do you write what each character says? Do you write background info? Please help out a person who's trying to write theirs..

From the simplest perspective, you write exactly as much as you need and not any less. There are no hard rules about this, and tons of people do it tons of different ways. But here's an example of my own, if you need an idea of one method. I'll use my other webcomic, The Dog Star, under the assumption you're working on a traditional comic instead of one like PATFW. However, I use pretty much the same system of documentation for PATFW.

Here's an except from my "notes" document for TDS, which is where I write down things like my basic ideas, any backstories for characters, things I want to expand on, random ideas, etc.

I find it helpful to have a separate notes document from whatever "script" you're working off of, so you can keep them clean and easy to distinguish.

Here's an excerpt from my "script" document of part of the scene described above. For my comic, I write it as if it were a movie script, with dialogue against any necessary notes that will help me remember a specific emotion, choreogrophy, or scene-setting device.

Personally, I did all of my scripting before I started TDS, but I like to work from a really solid base before I begin something. I know plenty of people who only write dialogue, or write it as they go with only outlines of plans. This also doesn't mean that my script is set in stone; since I began TDS, I've added 40 pages worth of new dialogue and adapted almost all of what I had before. It's all up to you.
