I don't see any new readers lately and I started wondering what the fans want...more nudity or more blood. I couldn't decide so here it is...bloody nudity on the new page of Whisper: http://www.amilova.com/en/comics-manga/ … ge-11.html

A good way to generally increase readership, is to make fanart to other comics of the same general type of comic that you make yourself.

Usually, the recipients will link back to you, and some of their readers will follow the link, a few of those will stick around too.

As for me, I saw your comment in the "Latest topic" bar on the right.

Axile xD , bear in mind not everyone is into this type of fucked up comics. I mean this as a compliment. You're catering to a really specific audience.

I'll have to disagree with Jesus over there - you shouldn't rely on references to make your comic successful, because fans will start expecting them from you, and stopping doing them may hurt you. Any art piece should have an idea and stick to it all the time - if it's about references - do it, but your comic isn't, so you shouldn't start that.

Just make it, try to market it and that's it.

I am keeping this in mind since day one, I just thought that there were going to be more sick people to follow the comic. About, the references...I wasn't going to. I made a folder " Gifts for fans " on my facebook page, after the first 3, everybody started to ask for one.

Well in my opinion your comic is not so bad... the problem is that you are abusing of close shots, and middle shots, no too much backgrounds, not living bodies... (I don´t mean the ones you kill...) And your story ... does not catch yet... So... I still see your comic but mostly for curiosity than for interest.

I dunno... I think that you should practice more the anatomy and your artstyle... I know that you want to do a gore comic.. and that´s cool... but I only see gore in your comic.. there´s no a real story that catch me really... But remember... is just my personal opinion.

When I said fanart, I didn't mean make art for any fan that shambles up to you and asks for it. Rather, I meant to make some for another webcomic entirely.

Lets make an example.

Somebody makes an anthro/furry webcomic for children (pg-13), lets call it "Furball" or something like that.

Now, "Furball" wants more readers. So he/she makes a piece of fanart for another webcomic that is like itself, but with a large reader base, such as DMFA (Dan and Mabs Furry Adventures) and sends it to the creator of the other webcomic.

If the creator of "Furball" is lucky, the creator of DMFA would post the fanart on their own page and possibly link back to "Furball".

The advantage is not only do "Furball" get a chance of another webcomic's reader base coming to visit "Furball's" page, but they will already be of the same type of reader that "Furball" is aiming at, so there's a bigger chance that it will be a "hit" with the readers that come and visit. The other comic might get a few more followers from "Furball's" readerbase too.

Now, DMFA is a real comic, and it really has nothing similar to "Whisper" (I just used it as an example of a popular furry comic) ... but there are other webcomics out there that might have. I'm sure you know of some.

Keep in mind that the story is still in the beginning, I'm not a " shallow " comic book artist...the story will get more interesting and complex with time.

About the anatomy and the artstyle...Whisper is my practice. There was another project I was working on before coming to Amilova, but I decided that I'm still not good enough for It ( it's an epic fantasy story in 8 huge tomes ), so I started this one instead.

Keep on following, you won't be disappointed, and 10x for the advice

P.S. New page, more blood and more nudity! http://www.amilova.com/en/comics-manga/ … ge-12.html

Whisper Update: Almost all pencils for Chapter 3 are done and 4 pages are linked. Considering my busy schedule lately I'm really proud of that progress (who needs to sleep anyway...sleep is overrated ). I'll release some previews very soon.
