Hii! If possible, it would be great if your videos had subtitles, because i would understand the video content better. This is because English is not my native language and I am still learning. Thanks for sharing valuable information about webtoons! 😊

You should be able to turn on the auto translate for most of my videos under the settings for the video. Does that not work for you?

Oh my gosh a video about working in inches would be amazing!!! That’s what I’m working in now and I’m so scared of making assets the wrong size. Also thank you!!! This was amazing ~Remy

@walterostlie 3 жыл бұрын

I'll try to do one soonish. However, just think about what merchandise you're going to make and figure what the size is. As long as your inches are the same or more, you'll be okay. Use at least 300dpi. Some people will say 600dpi or more, but I don't think it makes a big difference. The easiest thing to do is talk to the company that is going to make your physical product, they can give you templates for free.

Hi Walter? I've been reading Ghost bats for a while and I wanna tell you that I love it. Your art and story is inspiration to me. Also I have something to ask. There's plenty of creators who didn't come from canvas and it made me wonder, how do people contact webtoon to launch their comics? Is it possible to contact them by their Instagram? What standarts do webtoon require from people about their stories and art?

@walterostlie 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! You can't reach out to them directly or at least there isn't a systm currently in place.. The editors will usually find you based on work you've already created and put out into the world. Example an editor bought my previous graphic novels at a comic convention. I know other's who made Webtoon Canvas comics and were able to pitch new ideas to Webtoon. You can also wait for them to run a contest and enter. Seems like this happens every few years. Maybe we'll get another in 2022 or 2023. You can try to be a detective and track down editors via twitter and linked in, but I don't know how much they will appreciate that and they may just ignore it anyways.

Thanks so much for the video and the free template! Question though, would it be alright to use different images for the square thumbnail and the vertical thumbnail? Like say, since the square one would look best with 1-2 characters only, can the vertical one be utilized for more than 2? Since it's slightly longer and all so there's more space.

@walterostlie 3 жыл бұрын

It is slightly longer, but the safe zone is still kinda square. All the vertical space is in the danger zone. You could use a different image for sure and most likely that image would be displayed in a larger format to the reader, most likely after they've clicked into the comic's main page, so it could be more detailed for that reason.

The short answer is yes, HOWEVER, there is a tick you must check in order for your series to be mature in any sense. If you'd like for me to explain more I'd be more than happy to do so.

And I just know I will have Problems when I have to do the thumbnail because its a Murder Mystery Webtoon with 16 MAIN Characters... who should I draw on the thumbnail without letting the readers think the character is THE main character? xD Your content helps me realy good to not make many beginner mistakes, keep the good work up.

@saltycoookie6883 Жыл бұрын

@@sharlasinanan2868 It will be called Parasite days but it could still change. Thanks for the tip but I think I just draw the character who looks the coolest, the readers will then probably figure out, in the story that everyone is the main character. Because the thumbnail is more important than the story itself you know. That's why a cool or pretty-looking character should be on the thumbnail. I don't have a design for the person who dies first yet but if I manage to make them look cool, then they will probably land on the thumbnail haha.

@walterostlie 3 жыл бұрын

the 4th episode is pretty deep into your story before "the thing" happens. It's not against the law, but those first 3 episodes better be engaging. Write a list of the things that happen in episodes 1-3 and the reason why you reader needs to read it. If you can't come up with a good answer, start editing.

Yeah, with high res you can reuse the imagine in other sizes. I draw my episodes with 2400 pixels of width! It's better to shrink the image to 800px than to expand to larger sizes.

You can do whatever works for you. 800px wide is the very minimum resolution you should use, don't go lower. You can draw larger if you want.
