No need to make them original, obviously fans of these shows dont care about that either.

I think you might be able to find something in other regions of MAL


Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes!

Try releasing a LN. Most of the VNs are adaptations of LNs as well.

so it appeared that i was better than expected so i drew 4 characters they are not perfect and most of them aren't completed because i still don't know how to draw eyes and legs but i will learn very soon and i only still have to draw one grl and the mc and some seconder characters

so tell what you think about each character





but i also still have one problem i do not know how to color them like i don't know if i need a special app or something because when i try it never look like the coulour used in most of the vn when i color them it look very fade

They look very good!

Use tick strokes and add some gradients with more contrast in the colors (shadow should be darker).

Seriously, you don't necessarily need good art for a visual novel. The story is the most important and many VN players won't mind a bad art.
You can even start working on the game now and leave the art for last. You don't know what changes might be needed in design, and you might end with a bunch of useless sprites. Still ok to use placeholders though.

"We Know the Devil" on Steam is indie VN and has a very simple black and white sketch art and apparently it has good reviews and sells well.

Character's size and figure reminds me of Rewrite, and the eyes of the third one even more...Is this what your artstyle is based on?

I can draw very detailed stick figure that just really enhances the melodramatic tone of what you wrote.

How much is the pay?

even if it is true but there are some people who can't stand a vn with bad art and i am one of them to be honest at least it has to be decent

Make big dumb looking bug eyes. Since you're making a sad one don't bother develop the characters in any way, just use the same old tropes we all know like Nice Girl and Book Girl. Just keep throwing melodrama on it. Weebs will love it.

Well webm's are more like videos tbh, I do hope that mal ads a feature in the future that allows webm's and normal videos that aren't on youtube.

they aren't so widespread though
i can see all webm shitposting i need on /r/anime and /a/

i don't think MAL would benefit that much, or at least AD

besides it took them so long to add the youtube tag..

webm isn't an image

The img bbcode just surrounds the link with the HTML img tag, but webp is only supported natively by Chrome and Opera.
You should still be able to download the image manually though.

hm.. but if there were a [video] / <video> tag it could work
i remember looking at all the menu options in mozilla and thinking i will never see the "save video" ones

Try releasing a LN. Most of the VNs are adaptations of LNs as well.

Wut. I have nothing to say. If that is your impression if the visual novel genre then nothing I can say will correct it. I am curious though. What vn are you even referring to as an adaptation of a light novel?

Uhhh... My bad. I don't even recollect why I typed something like that.

I just suggested OP to release an LN rather than working on a VN seeing as how they are having problems with drawings. Discard that last sentence.
