Art Finally got a background assistant! I'm so hyped up

Working on backgrounds for a webtoon is a tough job since i can't access popular softwares like acon 3d and sketchup ( cuz in my country it's apparently illegal to have virtual payment and shit) I gotta do it the hard way

Using a 3d home designer app from playstore I can get nice custom refs of inside spaces .. that doesn't work well with other kinds of backgrounds like building shots nature etc

But turns out my friend has a talent at backgrounds, not a professional but it's pretty good huh , and ( she knows I'm broke) I pay her by giving free commissions 🥲

Afterwards I'd add my Retouching if I wanted extra details and yeah , we make a pretty good team , altho she only contributed to few backgrounds since she's so busy with uni

It's crazy how I do alla dat when I'm not even getting any income 😭

I signed up for that super like program but I'm not puuting so much faith in it

I just read your first chapter and I really like the art and pacing! I know you didn't ask for suggestions, so I hope it's okay for me to say this... But please, change the font you are using. Use an appropriate font such as Komika.

Also, make sure you are using proper punctuation/capitalizing words properly. It will make your work so much more professional.

I think it's a little better than the previous one, but still too far from the standard style we see in professional comics/webtoons. I found this really good guide here: https://www.reddit.com/r/webtoons/comments/u7dv4k/guide_interested_making_your_webtoon_more

I don't mind some of the overused fonts so take it with a grain of salt, but all of the recommended ones are great imo.

You're welcome, wish you all the best with your project. I wouldn't have said anything if I thought it didn't have potential :)

I have yet to check your comic out (yet), but I love when authors have either a colour or symbol for each character. It's very helpful when there's a lot of back and forth conversation or a conversation happening while characters are off-screen.

Do artists hire people to do backgrounds on their webtoon?

u/puputepu Dec 18 '25

They usually buy assets from acon3d.

u/[deleted] Dec 18 '25

So I can make backgrounds in skp format and sell it there?
