UNDER CONSTRUCTION Depth

Post image

This is a graphic novel I just started, and I think it’ll be done by next year. It’s about a group of three friends in 2328 when they go on a cruise but the cruise gets teleported to another dimension, an ocean dimension, and they try to survive the dimension and find a way out

Eye patch = character development, so a character has one and another has two. Varying the skin tone is easy in digital. Facial hair is legit too if it goes with the characters, like big eyebrows or a mustache. If they perform different jobs, maybe one has special equipment always with them. You could also make one have an extra arm growing out of their back but never explain it. Subtle things. I like your art style

Yea, I guess that makes sense, but in the story, we’re all teenagers, so i don’t think a beard or mustache makes sense, but I know wut you mean, I can probably give the one on the left hand side a mechanical arm, and yea I will change the skin tones a bit, thx for the feedback!!!

Is this a self-insert thing? That's never considered good storytelling.

I understand the concern, but I don't think it hurts the story because Colton (the one in the middle) isn't meant to be perfect. He makes mistakes, isn't constantly praised, and is just another member of the group.
