maybe you can break your own strings

Yippiee! Thank you for asking, now i get to yap! I hope this makes sense!!!

I usually make a super rough sketch with the main things that i want to happen (sometimes i try to write stuff down, but i've yet to complete one of these lol), like a SUPER rough sketch. First one here's from this comic, and the other one is from something i haven't made yet (i'll get to it eventually)

When i have the idea down roughly i sketch out all the pages. I use a bigger brush when sketching, so i don't get sidetracked with drawing too many details. I also write down the dialogue with the same brush, it helps me not go overboard with it - if i have trouble fitting it in the sketch even after moving things around, i shorten it, or continue on the next page.

I try not to have too many things happening on a page, because it gets hard to balance everything - it's either too many drawings or too much dialogue.

It's a bit hard to describe the paneling, but i usually try to have something break out of a panel, or not be contained in a panel at all. (sometimes for extra impact, and other times just because it makes the composition look a bit cooler LOL) Like in the first page - the jukebox being in front of Spamton and Tenna's panels, sort of interrupts them and it looks like that's drawing Tenna's attention to it.

I also try to think about which way the characters are facing. Since it's read left to right, if Tenna's on the left side of the page, i'd usually have his nose point to the right, where there's dialogue, another character or panel, so everything flows better. I try to have a clear line of where i want the reader's eyes to go

I don't know if the arrows were necessary, because these are kinda straightforward, but whatever. I sort of break the rule about reading left to right on the second one, but there's so many word bubbles that are connected, that it stops you from going down and left.

Other than breaking the panels i also try to vary the things shown in panels so it doesn't get too boring. Sometimes it's stuff from up-close, other times you can see the background. I also like to have one or two things on the page that are bigger and stand out more, because it makes the composition more interesting.

I didn't talk about the coloring at all but here's the best explanation i have for my process.

I love reading books! Especially the books upstairs...

Yippiee!! Thank you so much!! Of course i'll keep it up , i can't stop!!!!!

another still from the amv im busting my ass over

i was just thinking about this,,, man,,

adding to this, more things make sense for his character like showing up when meeting Kris because he's just that desperate. He's failed his attempts at Neo and needs a helping hand to get into the basement. There's even an emphasis that you need to be alone to go through with his mission. But, in that case, his second chance at freedom would be worth it in comparison to letting the opportunity slip away.
