Whoa!! WEBTOONS. The screenshots look amazing. This is so exciting. Your work has been pushing me to get my own book made. You are a great teacher and I can’t wait to see your book. Look forward to the next video!

Dude, this is GREAT news! I really enjoy your art and video content, so you can bet I'll be reading Frank Rain online. Congratulations!!

[@EricMerced]

Awesome! Thanks for the support Doug. People like yourself are the ones that are going to drive this forward with your help. Can’t wait for you all to see it- oh, and I didn’t announce this in the video so will now, I’m premiering the first episode this Friday (April 17) on Webtoons :)

I’m also aiming for Webtoons with the story I’m working on. I love the format, both the long scroll and the serialized stories. It seems like there’s actually quite a few people I’ve seen that format their comic as pages first, and then convert to Webtoon format like you’re saying, so you definitely seem like you’re in good company with that method. I seem to recall Jason Brubaker did “Sithrah” that way. (I’m doing the reverse, mainly because I was stressing myself into paralysis feeling like I had to complete pages before I could even get the comic up.) It’s also really cool seeing you do a production diary! I’ve been thinking in recent months that’s something I want to start as well, and it’s inspiring getting to hear your “behind the scenes” content here. Wishing you all the best with your work, and looking forward to following the process.

Thank you for watching and for commenting. Jason actually did a video that put it all in perspective for me. Before that I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure it out. At first Webtoon wasn’t something I gave heart to but wow, so many great comics on there. Highly encourage you to push forward with your comic. It isn’t easy as you know, but it’s so worth it.

[@jngarrettart]

Eric Merced For sure! It’s been a really fun couple of videos already. Looking forward to seeing more in this series. Haha, yeah, Jason’s got a lot of amazing resources on his channel, that’s for sure! Definitely, there are some really great stories on Webtoon. Are there any specific titles you’re especially enjoying right now? Thanks for the timely encouragement - it’s been a very long week, but I’m starting my Saturday with working on comic panels. 😁👍 Edit: I didn’t realize you had officially posted the first episode already! Congratulations!

Are you going to do a video explaining how you adapt your pages to the Webtoon format?

[@EricMerced]

Yes, definitely in the plans. I’ve held off on it because my comic has yet to debute on Webtoons. But soon as it does I will be working on a process video.
