AFTER A LONG DELAY THE WEBSITE IS UP! PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS BELOW

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

First off I want to apologize for the lateness of the website. I know that we are behind on schedule but we are really trying to catch up. The website is up and running but if you do register PLEASE PLEASE only register on the E-commerce portion of the website.. not the forums as it takes a 12 hour integration period for the first set of users (only temp.) The forums is being build with all the categories to match the old forums along with new areas as well. We are slowly adding products and product details to the e-commerce portion as we get them and believe they are ready to share! Our release date for comics is November 1 so we are getting close! I apologize for the delay but slowly get accustomed to the site and give us your feedback!

Too late to get into the world?

2 Upvotes

I have a street level hero idea I'm throwing around and am wondering if you guys are still taking in new stories. If so I'll throw my character into the hat this weekend after I've fleshed it out a little more.


r/InfiniteComics • • Sep 19 '13

In order to get a better understanding of where your comic progress stands we ask for a once a week update on the Forum!

2 Upvotes

This will be implemented next week! Please give us a weekly update, whether it be 3 sentences or 3 paragraphs. If we do not see a weekly update the first week we will implement a warning, 2nd week and no update we will give another warning, 3rd week we will delay your comic release a week 4th week no update and we will remove your comic. We do not mean to sound rude but we need to start getting guidelines in order and we need to start doing that soon!

Thank you guys!

So... it seems to me as an outside observer that this subreddit/concept is pretty much going down in flames...

8 Upvotes

So...

It's after 12am EST... and the website was promised by then.

Still nothing.

Sorry to be a wrench in the machine here, and deflate anyone, but from someone who has been subscribed now for a while, and watched everything that has happened here - I fear that what started as a good idea is now on it's way to crashing and burning.

Been subbed here for 2 months, and theres nothing here but empty promises and indecisive work.

Forum has been down for over a week for absolutely no reason...

"Website" is just a free-online template (Not buying that you "paid" money for any kind of professional services).

Mods fighting, constant changes to the universe, more changes to whatever the hell comic structure the mods "figured" out, the fact that its obvious that the mods don't even know who is writing, or drawing, or editing, or anything for any of their comics...

There isn't one tangible work, other than some concept art, titles, and unfinished pages - and absolutely no organization as to anything.

Theres no idea as to how any of this is supposed to work, who is doing what, where, when, and how.

Aside from a few individuals who stand above the pack, there is little to no professionalsim here. Is this a fun project? or some kind of comic book business? It sure feels like an afternoon breakfast club kind of high-school thing.

Mods keep promising results, but nothing gets done.

Pretty sure that this whole sub is dead in the water as we speak. Perhaps as a fun project for writers and artists to work on their skills. But other than that, I don't see this working as a lucrative project.

Sorry to break the bad news to everyone, but you guys started off so well. Something happened over the last few weeks that brought everything to a complete stop. The biggest issue being breaking the proboard forums now for over a week without warning (since the subreddit was barely used).

I had hoped that this idea would produce some really great comics, especially crowd-sourced ones. However, due to the recent circumstances, myself and several other artists have decided to unsubscribe rather than devote time to a lackluster endevour.

But all is not so grim! I wish everyone involved at IWC the best of luck! Hopefully your writing and artistry skills will work out greatly for you in the future -- and hopefully this community gets its act together and figures out what it wants to be... Theres some really GREAT ideas here, its a shame most of them will never see the light!

Best of luck to everyone here!

Writers: If you are missing an artist of any sort please inform me!

3 Upvotes

Hey IWC writers!, I recently put one of our members in contact with both a editor and artist! Things seemed to be going well so I allowed them to work together! Recently though, after asking for another comic update, I have discovered that the editor had not gotten back to him and neither had the artist! I understand that we are communicating purely via the internet and sometimes things do not work out 100 percent! If this happens to any of you guys or if you are still actively writing and have no artist please tell me. I am working on a excel worksheet that is taking all of this into account so that we can provide for writers as need!

Thank you!

I would like to say I am sorry for being out for so long. I kinda on a whim cut my connection to the community so that I could work through some mental and emotional issues as well as work on FORCE. I was making pretty good leway untill someone spilled coffee on my work and ruining the 15 pages of wwork I had sketched out. I of course broke down. Lately I have been trying to recover from this and restaet my work. My passion for the company is still here I love this place. I have been playing a lot of pokemon lately to also make sure I don't go [more] crazy. Please bare with me because I want to bring you all a wonderful experiance when you all read the first issue of FORCE.

Future plans for the subreddit and forums!

3 Upvotes

Hey IWC, This is another update regarding the future plans for both our subreddit and forums!

Subreddit

As you know we have over 500 subscribers to the subreddit, yet only about 25-30 consistent active posters. This is something that we have talked about and what we have noticed over the recent weeks is that the subreddit has become more of a Q&A type area with artistic updates, with users asking questions regarding certain aspects of IWC and giving updates on covers, comic panels and title work! We think that trying to change that or make the subreddit something it is not is not feasible.

What we plan to do with the subreddit is to encourage questions, creating a larger more detailed FAQ section, creating a more updated "Links to Read and Use" area as well as adding a art section (either a wiki page or permanent post) where a moderator will sectionalize the art! Character Battles and AMA's will also be re-added in future plans and done exclusively on the sub. We are really looking to make the subreddit the face of IWC, using it to attract new users and give a better view of who we really are and what we plan to do!

Forums

Our forums is much less populated and it seems at times much less used. This is not entirely true. Many of the posts on the forums are updates from writers, or something specific regarding individual series. Our aim for the forums is to encourage that behavior and implement it more efficiently. We want it to become the "IWC workshop" with writers giving updates, artists sharing ideas and helping one another out. In essence we want it to become the gears of IWC. The people who join the forums 99% of the time will be writers and artists, it will be the hub of IWC.


Hope this gives you guys a little bit of insight of the future plans for both the sub and forums! Another post will be released specifying how we will implement this goals and who will be in charge of the specific areas

Fan Art Guidelines!

3 Upvotes

Hey all! So we have come up with some basic guidelines on how to credit and keep the work done safe and unchanged! This is to help give credit to those who deserve it while allowing others to draw their own takes on amazing characters!

Guidelines

  1. A IWC logo watermark must be lightly visible on the picture

  2. If submitting to Deviant Art, subreddit or Forums it must be tagged with [Fan Art] in front of it

  3. Give credit to both the original artist and author in the description

  4. Must also give credit to IWC in the description


The guidelines for fan art are short and sweet! Not many things to do in order to create wonderful fan art! This way everyone is covered and credited!

Thank you all!

Character Profile: Necro Man

Name: Sullivan Peterson (Villain)

Race: Unknown

Physical Appearance: He stands 6’ 2” and is very lean, people think he is scrawny. He has grey skin and the only hair is on his head. He has a white Mohawk which matches his pale white eyes. When he uses his powers the iris in his eyes turns neon green. His teeth are razor sharp, like that of a piranha. He wears a black, tattered toga. He hides his face behind a modified muzzle. It is much like the Hannibal Lectre one, but it has been altered a bit. He also has a sleeve of tattoos that represent the occult and dark magic.

Powers: As a Necromancer he has the power to raise and control the dead. This also allows him to control dead tissue and let it multiply through necrosis. Due to his practice in Necromancy, he is also in dark magic. Along with his powers he is a skilled swordsman. He used his dark magic to craft a sword from the strongest metals. The sword charges his powers, and with each life he takes, the stronger his powers and sword fighting become.

Nemesis: Life itself

History: No one knows where Sullivan came from or was born. Rumors say that he is the avatar of death, while others say he was a son of the darkness. While his origin is unknown it seems that he can be killed. He often times has been associated with death, but he appears to be a living sentient creature. He operates alone and has been responsible for various diseases throughout the universe. He is one of the biggest serial killers in the universe and chooses to kill for fun. The only thing he seems to care for, aside from death and destruction, is a corpse by the name of Myra. He is often seen talking to the reanimated corpse, courting his dead lover. He has a small cult following who worship everything he does. They are zealots who call themselves the Order of Grey Death. They are travelers who move between through the multiverse. They are nomads from every corner of the multiverse. Sullivan’s tether to death allows him to travel and kill. He only remains on a planet long enough for his legend to spread, and then he disappears. The most recent rumors spread by The Order of Grey Death state that Sullivan is a by-product of the void’s destruction of Sector 0. Very little of what the OGD says can be believed because they spread lies to try and make themselves a political movement. One rumor that may indeed have truth is that of the Dead World. The Dead world is said to be the remnants of a dead star far off in one of the sectors. The location is a mystery, but it is said that Sullivan has created a society on the dead planet. He uses a small undetectable spaceship to fly under the radar of the Empire. The spaceship is something he rarely uses, because he prefers to use his magic to teleport him to places.

Weakness: He can survive gun shots and broken appendages. His weakness is enchanted blades; Knives, Swords, Bayonets, and the sort all that have been touched by magic.

Personality: He is a psychopath so he lacks common personality traits. He is a methodical killer and loves to plan out his hunts. He is extremely anti-social and refuses to work with anything that is not dead. The only time he exhibits any emotion is when he is surrounded in death. When he is alone in a cemetery, he can be heard reciting poetry and talking about various theologies and philosophies. Only around death does he reveal his true nature, he wants to bring death to the multi-verse, so he can achieve his own personal nirvana.

Home Planet: Unknown

Mission: Spread death the universe

Don't fret comic creators - updates and changes to everything coming soon!

4 Upvotes

Hi there!

As many can see, there are some changes happening around here.

Don't worry though, nothing is dissolving - no need to stick a fork into IWC just yet!

Within the next few days hopefuly we'll have both questions and answers for everyone here - including exciting updates for everything!

On my end, I've been stalled the past few weeks mainly due to unavoidable technology issues - my primary computer (my laptop) spectacularly dying in a blaze of video card frying glory. As a result, my responsibilities, such as website design, have been suspended until I can resolve my computing issue.

On the flip side, however, since the last update on 10/15, we have had very low activity from our member base - whether it be comic updates, or fan art, or just anything.

While things may be slow now, I am committed to making something out of this - I believe in the idea and community behind it.

Stay frosty, team!
