The new Web Comics section is here!!!

Oh yes! Sweet Zarbon!

The rumors are indeed true! Over the last few months the Beta Testers have been secretly working on a project. A project so BIG, so AWESOME, so incredibly spectacular that it may very well change the way we think about art on the Internet. I am proud to introduce to you the newest section of PaperDemon.com, the Comics Section! ALL members may start posting to the new Comics section now!

I think we are the first site EVER to have a community web comic system. Normally when you post comic pages on an art site, the site has no idea that the images are related and can't create links to easily navigate through the comic. But now with the new Paper Demon Sequential art system, artists now have the power to upload a series of images that are related in an intelligent way. No more frantically hunting through an artists gallery to try and find the next page to that tantalizing comic. Just click that pretty Next button. There are also buttons to quickly jump to the latest page of the comic. As far as I can tell, no website out there on the Internet has a community based web comic system (if there is one, please let me know >.< . And even if we aren't the first to do it, ours is certainly the BEST!

Since we now have this new system, comics will no longer be allowed in the art gallery unless the page is a work in progress or sketch. If you have comics in the art gallery, you'll need to delete them from the art gallery and re-post them in the new comics system. Because of the drastic differences between the Art system and the Comics system, there is no way to migrate the artwork over other than deleting your comics from the art gallery and posting them in the Comics section.

Don't worry though, posting pages of a comic are extremely easy and fast. All you have to do after your comic line is set up is upload the image file. No need to fill out a long form or specify galleries because that information is already recorded when you first create the comic.

I'd like to thank the Beta Testers for all of their hard work testing and retesting the Comics system. Thank you Beta Testers!

ROCK ME!!!!

But I have one question.. @_@ Where does my comic show up on my profile? o:

I'm very pleased with the new comics section

I'll take it that this is for multi-part comics?

Just to clear a question nagging at the back of my mind

Yes. Your comic can be split up into separate story arcs so if you happen to have a rather long comic it is separated nicely.

Yes, many of the features you enjoy with the art gallery and writing sections will eventually make their way over to the comics section. These include favorites, crediting multiple artists, the crit wall, keyword search, and advanced search.

Oh I see Well at least it's usable for everyone now, and that's aweosme! Yay! ^___^

YEEEEEEEEEE I LOVE THE NEW SECTION!!!!

IT´S COOL!!!!!

Hahaha that's the best reaction yet!

I checked on wikipedia and it doesn't look like there is any indication of another art community site having a system specifically designed for comics. There are webcomic communities out there but they are through forums and such. Hooray for PD! We may be a part of webcomic history!

Not to glamorous of a reaction but funny all the same ^^

I've asked some editors at Wikipedia if we could get a mention in the webcomics article and the online communities article. They'll probably say no though thinking its spam. We'll see what happens.

I hope they don't say no D: Your website is awesome!!! ^_^

Hell, just do it yourself. Its an Open Wiki right? Besides, PaperDemon is long overdue for its own Wiki page.

If I do it myself, it will appear that i'm spamming or self promoting. I read through the wiki docs about writing an article about a website and they say that its better to just ask other contributers for an ok on it.
