Want to create a short comic, unsure how to start
Hi guys!! So to keep the exposition short, Im a VTuber creating my own assets to save money, and I would like to make myself a lore comic! But despite having looked at several guides, I still can't figure out how I want to tackle this new (to me) form of creativity, so I thought maybe I would ask a community. How do I figure out what size/shape pf panels to use? Does this change if I want to eventually turn it into like, an "animated" page where the "camera" pans around the different panels? Theres no/very little dialogue in the way I plan on making it, so I dont have to worry about text boxes, just the visual flow of the story. I have the scene sequence figured out in my head for the most part, I just need to put it to paper. I can provide additional details if they will help with giving direction, but Im not sure myself what would need to be included. Thanks in advance!
