    5:12 The way I explain my world is interesting I think. So the beginning was of the comic there is no explanation, you follow two of the main characters as they grow closer together. We expience and see the world that they live in through them for a bit (the first like 1/3 or so.) I figured I’d have to start answering questions eventually, so the third main character finally joins the cast, she’s from the past (she died became a zombie watched 2 apocalypses unfold, got cured as a zombie, then attacked by and turned into a vampire. So she’s been around a while.) we learn a bit more about the world through her. But as strange as the world they are in is (as much as I love it) the world isn’t to important outside of societal structures. So I have a very soft world building in a (imma call it fantasy) setting. My other two comics take place at different times in their world as well, and the soft world building applies to both of them to, but the world is actually incredibly important in one of them, we learn about the world completely through the characters who are experiencing it for the first time in a way. They’ve lived in it their whole lives, but it was closed off from the outside. When one of the characters causes the 2nd apocalypse, goes into a coma for 3 years and wakes up, a zombie, in a completely unfamiliar setting to the one he last saw. He and his (found family) brother discover a journal written by an unknown person detailing some of his discoveries (for plot convenience shh) about the world they’ve been kept away from. They discover a lot on their own as the story goes on but they follow the journal as a guide of what is and isn’t safe (it’s not always accurate as they’ll learn but it comes close.) the last comic of mine the world never even gets brought up honestly, all soft world building and revealing necessary information of the opportunity presents itself. I’ve always kinda hated world exposition, it always takes me away from the world I’m genuinely curious about, so I really avoid that in my writing unless it’s necessary. If I can find a dialogue or scene to show it without exposition I do XD

    Wow I'm so glad I clicked on this! This is a really informative video and all your tips are so helpful, I definitely have a lot to think about when it comes to my main character. Love your art, it's so nice to see the process!
    In terms of villains, I think my main problem is that I try to show everyone's struggles and kind of justify where they're coming from but in doing so I blur the line and the actions of the villain doesn't have as much impact and/ show that it wasn't okay they did that despite their struggles? Not sure if I'm explaining it well but I would love to hear your thoughts!

    i hate when villains have a redemption arc and die right away after its done, overly annoying as hell.
    also thanks for the advice this is so underrated!

    ✨I reallyyy loved this video!✨ I still don't really have the abilities to make my own webcomic so while i work on improving my art i can also spend that time flashing out my characters and stories better, and this kind of videos really help, especially yours that i find explained exceptionally well (also genuinely love the art style and the way you talk).❤
    As for the villains I really struggles to give them proper motives fir their actions. Especially since the villains are the leading group in society and technically work to help the people but are also very strict about some set of religious rules. It's like a thinly veiled dictatorship where the supreme mind is the god they worship but i don't know how to give a reason to the population of that world to stick to such strict rules and even less reasons as for why the members of such group would stick to them😅
    Also for me a convincing personality and story for villans are just so much harder to grasp
