I used Wordpress to build my site, I won't lie, I struggled along for ages, never happy with that I have created.
Eventually settling with it being 80% what I am looking for.

I would use Squarespace, but I am not really wanting to pay $18 a month for the site. At the moment I pay $50ish for the entire year and that is for my hosting and domain renewal. But it looks so much easier to put together one here than in WordPress.

Good idea!
My 2019 goals are to finish my comic, start on my webcomic Me and Mr.
Draw every day, this is a hard ask for me, I get distracted extremely easily.

@laura this is a good point! I had not even given that any thought... I will have a look at what the shark looks like without a tail thanks for pointing that out.

@rinovarka Thank you. Yeah, the octopus is going to be so much fun to use for expressions, also going to have him change colours depending on the mood he is in.

I have finally finished the first page to Fishtales.

Let me know what you think, it looks extremely different from the images above, I wanted to origin section to be grayscale with some colour.

Good story. I was so glad she found her glasses, and then BAM! Book 2. The cat and dog are cool. Looking forward to watching this one progress.

I really like the second option. I think you can do more with the body type than with the first option (also a really good style). It is much more expressive in my opinion.

Here are a few more characters. Kingfin, one of his henchmen. Then Finn and his best mate

Thanks for the feedback, extremely helpful.
Some background on the character. He is a normal pet store goldfish, who gets bought and taken home to discover that his fishbowl is a portal to another dimension.
Here is discovers that the region that he lands up in is being ruled by a cruel crimelord Kingfin (might change but liked the play on Kingpin), who is an octopus. He is trained by an old koi in order to take down Kingfin...

That is a very basic explanation of the story, all of the sudden it seems a lot less original.

Thanks, Chip. I agree it has more fish-like qualities, my main concern of using that style is that the smaller fins will limit the types of moment and action poses I can get from the character. I do want to change the dorsal fin to match the original sketch.
