  • Here is some insight! After 3 years of webtoon here are some things I wish I new when I started. Let's talk about plot/planning, art style, characters/relationships, and business strategies.

    Thank you Isabelle, just found out about this channel and it's such gold mine. I'm still planning my comic and is somewhat nervous about it so these videos are very encouraging.

    Without realizing, I've been doing everything right for the preparations of my comic's remake launch.
    1- I really want to print my stories one day, so I decided to draw in page format (but it was mostly because I prefer to draw that way lol ended up being the best option for many other reasons too)
    2- I'm going with my gut feeling regarding the story (it's a remake so I already have the main plots, just changed a few things and got something new and more intricate than before without having to actually type it all (which I hate))
    3- I eliminated the love triangle (I made a different love triangle story and realized after comparing these two that the one for my current projects was sub-par, so just threw it in the trash and made it into a platonic love kinda situation XD)
    4- I've reduced the story a lot (the first version didn't get to the main plot until chapter 8, months after release 😬💀 so I reduced it to two chapters (around 40 pages) and even added additional lore which wasn't in the first version, I'm very proud of it :'3)
    5- I made it I to a more universally Cannon story (I have a whole created universe with a system and a goddess, which are now mentioned there, for the sake of any future cameos or returns I might want to make, they can all be cannonical according to the system of this universe)
    I don't know who I'm writing this for XD I just wanted to say cuz I'm really proud :3
    Thanks for the great video once again! I got so inspired! Can't wait for the next! 😭❤✨

      @@isabelle.ranson Thank you :'3 if you really want me to, I could show you, I just don't want it to be self promotion XD I felt proud of myself and wanted to share my progress as a story teller, but if it's really alright then I could truly show it to you! I haven't shared much about the new version but I still have the old one up and I shared the redesigns of the MLs on my webtoon posts, it's called Accidentally a Mermaid (future title will be "Enchantments of a Sea Maiden" hshhshshs I love it so much more) thanks for showing interest, it warms my heart TvT

    Another very amazing video ! Thank you ! And yessss I do love a grey vilain, but sometimes black and white is very good for the story your trying to do. I am thinking, are grey villains appealing to older audiences as well ?
    The age of the audience is a very, very good question. I am doing conventions selling my art, and recently, my first book was added to my table, and it's a book you would consider for children. But I noticed that it only appealed to women aged 20 or more (so I am targetting them now with my cute stuffs) Where I am going with this is : knowing your target audience is so important! But sometimes you can't control everything. I tried to really go deep into my reflection of what my target audience might like for my next story. It is OK since I am my target too after all, but things might always happen. I hope you manage to shift your audience and pardon my rambling, 😅 I'd love to hear more insight about how the next story is going for you. Will there be older people join your Patreon ?!

      I personally love a villain with a compelling past! So I love the grey ones!
      And I totally agree with you about the audiences, we can try to aim for a target but can't control everything. And so many adults love content that was intended for kids, especially when it's just a solid story anyways! As for my future audience, we'll have to see. I won't know much for awhile! Fingers crossed!!
      Also, selling your art at a convention? And a book?! That's awesome! Can we see your stuff anywhere online?

    great video, I did a manga-style setup, but i have a feeling its going to be hell to format webtoon format to comic book format ugh Im scared lol.

    You're so inspiring and you helped me so much, I've been completely lost about what to do with my comic - because it's a story I'm working on over eight years and I think it's something that has potential to go big, so I'm really scared about things like webtoon taking copyright or idk what. My goal is to make a physical copy of it both as comic and as a book. But I guess my biggest - let's call it a dream, is to make my story into an anime or a game. I thought the only way to reach that effectively and without spending too much money is through webtoon. Also because it's been done before, so it's possible, and because they'll have the connections and the exposure for actually making it work. I still haven't figured out what i'm going to do... But one thing for sure, you gave me so much more to think about and consider. Thank you.

      Hi! Sorry for the late reply but I hope you're doing well and maybe have started posting on webtoon?? :) I think webtoon canvas is a really beneficial platform for creators. You keep the copyright and you have the potential to gain a loyal following. Plus, proving you have a following helps when trying to get traditional publishing contracts, and maybe even film ones! I used to be worried that publishing companies saw webtoon as competition, that because it was online for free, people wouldn't buy the books. But we've learned that's not the case! Physical copies of Heart Stopped and Lore Olympus (and more!) continue to sell in bookstores from people who have free access online anyways. People just love owning books! Best of luck to you and your story!!!
