Nah, youāre not a freak. You should see how many hours I stare at the screen just to make sure the dialogue is absolutely perfect⦠Iām convinced that the dialogue is super important but apparently itās not because Iāve read lots of stories where they just kinda ignore grammar and spelling and all that⦠Iām the perfectionist here
This is why the deadline for the R&R contest is in two weeks and Iām still working on episode one
me i do this omg!! i didnāt realise there was hardly people who did this wowowowow
i just find it much easier to read when theyāre coming from the right character and i use 75% to 80%. i donāt like the way the 100% looks so i always edit speechbubble size. i normally put the speechbubble at the chest it can depend on the scene though
yeah me too ! i remember the firts time i sat down to start writing my first story on episode it took me a month to finish the first episode and now iām done within 2 days ahaha
exactly ugdhdh i thought it was more common for people to adjust them but i guess not. i literally change the speechbubble each time a different person speaks lmao
I meanā¦sometimes the speech speechbubbles tend to get displaced when you zoom at a certain angle and need to be corrected but when your story has a lot of dialog from an array of different characters in a single scene, spotting all of them takes way too much time. Luckily for us thereās always the display name so we know whoās speaking even if it isnāt pointing to the correct character.
I usually spot them for off screen characters or a narration bubble to emphasize a specific place on screen.
The bubble size however, is a good idea because they tend to completely block spotted far away characters in a zoomed out scenes.
It really depends how zoomed in the scene is. If Iām zoomed in a lot, Iāll use the 100%. If the scene is really zoomed out, Iāll reduce the size of the speechbubble because I always find that a 100% speechbubble looks so weird on small characters. They look disproportionate. I have speechbubble commands before every line.
Also, the tails have to be facing the correct way and the speechbubble has to be infront of the person speaking, otherwise it bugs me!
I donāt have a default, but I do usually have to place them each scene so that theyāre situated at a decent place+size. I usually place them at the abdomen. Going back and adding each characterās dialogue bubble settings is usually the last thing Iāll do for a scene to signify itās really done.
