Monster tropes!

pitviperofdoom:

  • A deadly monster with a terrifying appearance bonds with a small child and protects the small child with its life.
  • An injured hero comes upon a monster, or a hero comes upon an injured monster, and they have a Moment where they understand each other.
  • Giant vicious-looking monsters that answer to names you would give a pet dog.
  • A character rescues or spares the life of a wounded or infant monster; later, the fully-grown/recovered creature returns the favor.
  • A monster is only behaving aggressively to defend its young; the heroes realize this and make piece with the creature before leaving it be.
  • Similarly, a monster is only behaving aggressively because it is displaced and frightened; the heroes realize this, and help it to return home.
  • The horrifying eldritch creature that has been stalking the heroes turns out to be wholly benevolent, and its previously menacing behavior is revealed to be its attempts to protect them from something far deadlier.

BENEVOLENT MONSTERS!!!! BENIGN MONSTERS!!!! MONSTERS YOU DON’T HAVE TO FIGHT!!!

why should you make a webcomic?

  1. it’s regular drawing practice
  2. you get to draw and develop the universe your OCs live in
  3. you could draw your OCs making out with context
  4. see number 3

how can you make a webcomic?

  1. make a new tumblr
  2. install this theme https://www.tumblr.com/theme/37061
  3. post comics as you would on any other tumblr they show up on their own webcomic site

what if nobody sees my webcomic 😦

  1. too bad you got to draw your OCs making out and nobody can appreciate your artistic genius obviously the world is not ready for this webcomic genius

It also might be good for an artistic resume or portfolio.

Welp, guess that settles it. I need to start a webcomic.

reblogging this to add while the original link to the theme in this post is inactive, you can find the newest webcomic theme here

I might need this some day

I need to print this out and stick it on my wall.
