Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You don't have to draw perfect art. I make a webcomic and it's not all straight lines shit. But it's true art that I did myself no AI needed.
Example
That's still better than anything I've ever drawn in my life lmao
Truth be told, I've given up on the idea of ever creating anything artful on my own. The couple of video game ideas I have, if I end up creating any of them, will have to have outsourced art. For which I'd use humans, just nobody particularly expensive lol
I have an idea for a fast-paced side scroller that doesn't require all that much artwork necessarily, but is also not the one I'm most excited about. The one I really want to make is a 3D RPG (without the MMO that often comes in front of those letters - I'm crazy but not THAT crazy) and I have a lot of mental material, but I literally can't afford to get it done at the moment. Have been considering reaching out to a studio whose asset packs I like on the Unreal and Unity stores to get a lot more work done in the same style, but I already know it'd be crazy and my ADHD ass isn't going to finish the game anyway. Plus I'd want sound effects, semi-OK voice acting... All things I can't do alone unless AI (voice actually is the easiest - I could do one role myself, and get some friends to do a few more).
But at this point I've realized my other two projects are more likely to bring in money than the game which is more of a creative output, and I can work on them alone or give people a stake in the company to get them to work for cheap. Why make a passion project for yourself and other people to enjoy when you can focus on what truly matters in life, B2B SaaS.
