Hi guys, I wanted to tell you guys about making maple story comics, as tons of them have been showing up recently. Some of them are nice, but many of them arn’t funny, and hurt your eyes to look at. I made Mario sprite comics for a while, and here are some tips what I’ve found out about the subject.

– Try and make the panels the same size – this makes everything fit together much more nicely.
– Try to put all the panels next to each other, with vertical/horizontal bars of the same length in between.
– If possible, fit all the panels in a square or rectangle, with no background, just panels. You can add a border if you like, but having it all together and in a box makes it much more organized.
– If you have text, make sure that you use a text writer. It looks extremely messy when you try and use a paintbrush to make the words.
– If you arn’t good at editing, avoid it at all costs – having it look unclear is much better than having it look messy and corny. If you have to, be patient, and do your best.

No Background –

– If you need text that’s not in the dialogue, make a small box (white) at the top or bottom, fill it with black, text, and a clear font, and try to center it. Try to make as little text as possible.

If you do have a background –

– Make the background a dark color – bright green and yellow hurt your eyes, and are very annoying.
– Put the panels in a logical order – If you have to have arrows point to the next panel, it’s not good enough.
– For additional text, put it directly below the panel – not to the side.

I didn’t write much on actually making them, so if there is anything in that subject please write!
