How to Make an Action Figure Webcomic

Posted in Off Topic

There are so many makers of cool custom action figures that I think it would be great to see more starring in webcomics. I search and I don't find much out there. So if you do make one, or already have one, let me know and I will check it out. Check out my PLASTIC ALIEN FIGHTERS: https://actionfiguregraphicnovels.wordpress.com/ (If you contact me there I will be happy to help you with any questions.)
Anyway, you can set up a website on wordpress.com or other places for free. That alone has a moderate learning curve if you have never done it.
I take pictures of my figures either in front of a mini green screen poster board in my mini studio, or I set up a scene in the mini studio. The green screen allows me to plop the figures in any picture I take using Manga Studio 5, which I got for about $40 US. I also got a Huinon graphics pad, which I got for drawing, but I find I can do most drawing about as well with a mouse. I save my images from Manga Studio, or the camera, and put them into Microsoft Excel, where I add word balloons, etc.. I use Excel because I am used to it. I think you could do everything in Manga Studio after you get used to it. I also add smoke, fire and other effects on the Manga Studio.
When you make your comic, it is good to have a story behind it. Which I have experience at having sold hundreds of books on the internet. But if you just want to have a violent diorama with trash talk, it still might be fun to read.
