 What's up fuckers? It's Yolani, otherwise known as Nerdiversal back with another video. Hello. Thank you guys for watching I love you guys so much So today I am recording in my closet because I was told by a good friend that it would improve my audio quality So if anything changes and in a good way and or a bad way, please let me know I'm trying to figure out how to make my recordings more clearly and kind of more easy to understand So today for this video I'm gonna be recording a comic speed paint that I'm doing and I am so excited to show you guys this because this has been a Story that's been in production for four years now And when I say production I kind of mean that I was just thinking about it and not really writing it down for four years but I was Putting a lot of details together in my head messaging all my friends about it much to their you know Like fucking annoyance. They were like did that this fucking dumb bitch. Just go fucking write your story damn, but um I'm just kidding by the way. They they were actually really supportive, but um I'm finally putting this together. So you guys are probably expecting like a Halloween speed paint or something So that is gonna come that's gonna come within two days I need to write another creepypasta and then record it which I'm actually super excited about because last time was so fun So, you know, let me put one of those out again But for today's topic, I actually wanted to talk about something that I kind of discovered on my own which was the fact that Comics do start a certain way, especially the type of comic that I'm trying to write It's action comic has it's not really slice of life It's not really romance supposed to be sort of closer to an action comic And so I didn't really know how to start my action comic and that's kind of what I taught wanted to talk about today is How to start your action comic and keep in mind the advice that I'm gonna give today is probably gonna sound super amateur for People who have done this for a very long time But if you're like me and you're just getting started then this might help you it's a it's some information sharing You know, you might you might use this one of these days So I was thinking about all the ways that the the action comics that I know start their stories And I'm thinking like a race isn't really an action comic But it sort of fits the theme that I was trying to write but I wasn't gonna be raised I was thinking of full metal alchemist I was thinking of degree man and for those of you who don't know degree man degree man starts off where he's actually fighting a demon He gets arrested he fights a demon and then after that he goes to the black order And it sort of starts to describe everything around the black order and that's gonna be the place that he stays for the majority of the story So one of the biggest points that I drew from that was the fact that it started off with a very climactic moment That sort of showed off Alan's personality in that he showed off His skills he showed off how he treats others with his skills And then it gets into world building where it starts to just describe everything around you Just to sort of set the pace for the rest of the story And that's something that I tried to do with my story where I wanted to start it with sort of a climactic moment So what you see here is Kalia Her brother, honey, her brother, honey is getting pushed around by somebody who's yet to be revealed. Oh, that's another fun thing I'm actually excited about I can't say anything about my stories anymore because it does become spoilers but so he's getting he's getting pushed around by somebody and Kalia steps in and she's talking about how She used to be brave and that that starts with a climactic moment That sort of starts to show off her ideals and another one that does that was full metal alchemist Where it starts off where they're trying to bring bring their mom back and the mom comes back all yucky and dead so That and then that one right there that shows their personalities by kind of saying like oh They cared so much about bringing their mom back and bringing back somebody that was close to them that they put all this effort into learning alchemy and Ended up fucking losing their legs and fucking body and shit, but you know you get my point and then the other one that I was thinking about was Erased where his mom dies Actually, that wasn't even the biggest climactic moment the biggest climactic moment that it starts with is is When he stops that truck driver after realizing that he's asleep or dead I can't remember which one it was but he stops that and then he starts talking about how his power works and How he uses it and then he gets he goes into being a child and then it starts describing How he was when he was a kid and how he treated other people and how we really wanted to save that one girl So now he's gonna go save her so those would do those were really important details That it starts off with the climactic moment and then it gets into the world building So if you were to do that you would probably put your characters in a setting where you Have them do something big like let's say let's say it's an action one like mine But it's like full action, you know like people beating the shit out of other people and like you know being like I have all these powers laser blast hit and then they fucked somebody up, but um You would probably start off with that character having a fight and being like I'm fighting you for this reason so let's throw down and then person either gets beat up or Wins the fight all depending on how you want to present the character. Do you want to present them as strong? Do you want to present them as weak? So those are really important pieces and that's I think how you would begin a comic of that caliber for maybe a slice of life You would probably just start off with simple things Which is how I was sort of trying to start mine even though mine wasn't a slice of life It was supposed to be action, but I was trying to start it all the wrong way Which is kind of why I researched this but um if you were gonna do a slice of life It'd probably just be simple stuff as for other genres. I think you can kind of figure that out. You just kind of like you Look at what's around you what other people have started with and you'll you'll start to notice a trend on how people start They're comic books and and their stories and stuff and that even goes for American comics and stuff I'm not even just talking about Japanese comics because like movies can start like that shows can start like that Manga's can start like that comics and start like that it all just It depends on the direction you want your story to go Also an important thing that I wanted to point out was that I'm using meta bang and meta bang has a lot of these Helpful tools also have that sponsored. I'm just trying to give you guys information but they offer this thing where you can make comics and it sets up the pages for you and it It gives you a cover page and it keeps everything in line and then it gives that shading thing that you can use with it But that was really helpful and it actually comes out a lot better on paper It might look yucky on the computer, but I printed it out and it looks really good It looks like manga quality, but I hope you guys enjoyed this speed paint.
