Ragmare concept
Apr 09, 2016

So after the last comic, I began getting into horror web comics like Jack the American Ghost.
It's about a demon spirit that gives people nightmares (a mare) called Rags and feeds off of their fear. With drama elements as well, as it delves into the live and experiences of the subject of each episode.
I began using the FireAlpaca pencil tool to outline, so I could be a little more messy with the paint brush as the outline keeps it looking neat. I also began playing around with the panel arrangement, making use of more blank space, in regards to the vertical web comic format.
However I ended up having to stop as it was a bit of a writing failure. I got really hyped on the concept, and had fun drawing it, but I had complete disregard to the writing I'd have on top. It flows just fine panel by panel and you could get what's going on, but I figured that a completely wordless comic with no sense of narrative would lose a reader. I thought about putting a creepy poem on top, but I'm really bad at writing poems, they just end up as rhyming couplets with no artistic talent.
I also didn't know how to end it. I wanted to bump up the creepiness, I began playing around drawing images of creepy monster dogs, but it just wouldn't work out. Also by this point I had grown out of the horror hype, as I began thinking about what the over-arching plot could be like, I could only come up with depressing scenarios because of the nature of the horror genre. So I began reading more action and comedy comics instead XD
