Which Layout Should I Use for LARP?
Added 2024-08-28 03:09:34 +0000 UTCThe next original comic series I'm starting to make big decisions on is LARP. LARP will be a story about tabletop roleplayers who become their characters; a pretty tried and true alt-isekai premise.
I'm still brainstorming a few elements, including how 'raunchy' I want the comic to be... I'm playing with making it a bit more longform narrative focused, although that perhaps depends on a lot.
What format do you think I should go with? Note that I do not want to do this as a Panel Comic (E-Girl). Other than that though there's merits to different approaches.
Note that the examples listed are for presentation/style, not for subject matter/content.
Option 1: 'Tall' scroll-down style, like Bunnygirl https://www.patreon.com/posts/help-im-stuck-as-110416245
Option 2: Story with Images, like "The Wedding Secret" https://www.patreon.com/posts/wedding-secret-2-102751434
Option 3: Big Square Canvas, like "Secretary to CEO" https://www.patreon.com/posts/101966098/
Option 4: Kinda tall comic, like "Elle the Fairy" https://www.patreon.com/posts/elle-fairy-full-101681541
I guess for me the big question is whether I should go full comic, or if I plan to do it as more of a long-form project with a lot of narration, whether putting more emphasis on the prose might make sense, whether than trying to comic-ize every single character speech statement.
(This has a big question on tone, since none of my AI generators are very good at 'combat' right now, so I could have a story with a bit more 'heroic adventure' if I'm not constantly hamstrung by the images?)
I don't know, obviously still kinda just thinking out loud here, but mostly curious if there's a particular layout or style that you prefer anyway!
