What are the best comic sites/self-publishing options? (lemm.ee)

So ive been thinking about making a comic and currently im trying to think of an idea while doing research. I plan on making a short comic with ai because i can only draw stick men, and i think ai art is cool but its nowhere near human art. Im thinking of putting some mature themes in some comics like slight gore, lovey-dovey things like hand holding and such?, and possibly action scenes.

is there a good place to post this kind of stuff without paying, i know there are webtoons and Amazon but i heard they can be strict or slow, is that true? ive tried making comics many times and my art still stinks but i hope ai art will teach me something, also what software is best for comic making (like working with images)?

feel free to add something but please be nice.

Practice drawing. Get an artist’s anatomy book and practice. Pick something you see every day and draw it every day. If you have an idea for a comic, write and draw it. You will get better with practice. Start with pencil and paper, an art app will be much more useful if you already have the drawing chops.

Don’t use AI art because that just recycles other people’s art without crediting them or paying them.
