Hello there! Please, don't be shy, we all are open for talking here ^^ I hope your cats are fine now.
Oh, as for me, 100% artist here :slight_smile: Although I have a lot of thoughts and a nice written world with characters I love for my own possible comic, I was never good in writing. So I am lucky to have the writer husband :smiley:

I'm 50/50. I'm a full-time artist, but I write as well. I do the writing/art on my comic series and I have a novel on the go. However, my comic series and other art projects are taking all of my time, so the novel has taken the back burner.

Well, we are a two person team. Drew is about 75% writing and 25% art. Seline is 95% art and 5% writing. So it helps that one focuses more on the other. It balances out and we are able to still help each other out if needed.

40/60 writer/artist though I'm currently working on a novel, it's the script for my comic

I think I am more 50/50. I probably write and draw every single day. Obviously drawing something to completion can take me a bit longer so time wise, maybe that number is different. But as far as interests, I love to write and I love to draw. I haven't published any comics yet, however I do have one in the works. I currently am working on wiring the script and at I am also practicing my art. My favorite part of the process while writing is that while I am writing, it is playing out in my head like a movie, it makes me super excited that I will get to draw out all those scenes and actually make it feel more real!

Hey Embassy and welcome back. :slight_smile:
Don't worry about "dumb tones" at least I wouldn't have noticed (though I am tired too lol).

As for your question: I am probably 50/50.
For me writing is important, but at least trying to show the writing with the art is important too.
Now I am not a taught professional but a self taught "whatever". But with every new page and every new day I learn new things. Whether it be in writing or drawing. And while in the process of drawing I often even change little things like dialogue which in the end helps me improving later parts of writing.
Though I see the improvising part as some kind of "director's cut" or "actor's improv". ^^

Welcome! I used to be about 50/50, but I'm coming back from a very long stint away from much creativity in general, so I hear you. I'm like 90% art and 10% writing now. I'm trying to work on a comic and writing is hard. D;
There's no dumb tone, you're good.

Hello!

Hubby draws

I write

We proof each others stuff and make suggestions.

So... I guess we are both 80/20 of our respective stuff?

I love both, and I've always been passionate about storytelling, but in practice I'm more capable on the art side. So 60/40 or 65/35??

(and NNNMMMM)

Your tone was fine, but now I want cat pictures! =P

Almost like I've seen a thread like this before about 50 times.

HMMMmmMMMMmmmm

I'm like 70% shit art and 30% shit writing. Sorry I mean trash.

I am both!
50/50 Even Stevens, and I like to do them both equally, hehe.
I might even plan to post an anthology of short stories (once I finish MDV and get OU's season 2 started).

Community wide, there is a slight majority of artists, I think. This is a lingering effect of Tapas being a site for webcomics for years before novels were introduced. The audience for comics still outnumbers novels by about ten to one (rough guestimation).

I consider myself an editor. After that, I am more of a writer. I've knocked out a couple of short books. I'm currently refining my roleplaying game and card game based on my series, and I count game design as writing. My visual art works have been limited to a couple of memes, novel cover art, and a minor hand in a group-created crossover comic.

Im about 60/40 on the Writing/Art. I have so many graphic novel story ideas that I never get to because I don't have the commitment for drawing it lol. I think that comes across in my work too because the comics I do make are more like illustrated novels.
I also do coding, so maybe making a visual novel might be the next thing Im up for.

I'm 90% writing and 10% art. I've always wanted to be a novelist, so this is what I've trained myself to be (self-taught, but I still studied it a lot) and I don't usually draw unless I need a cover for one of my books. I have considered making comics, and I have a few pages of thumbnails and character designs in the notebook where I keep my story ideas for future novels, but I've never actually started work on a comic.
