“Supporting other creators” doesn’t mean with money.
What you want is attention- and honestly that’s what everyone wants! A huge portion of tapas is creators, and the best way to get those people to recognize you is to.. befriend them.
Be active here in the forums (not just on self promo threads), join the discord groups, read like & comment on people’s comics, search out the indie comics, not just the big ones!
About the episodes, yeah, I was going to read your comic and then almost immidiately left because of the ‘Ep count’ mishap, and then I realized I’m reading it for this so I went back. But... You can go back and edit- do that. It’s not just confusing but it also shows me as a ‘reader’ you don’t care enough about the comic to organize it, and if you don’t care about your comic why should I?
Get a better drawing program.
Your comic right now really looks like it was drawn is mspaint. I can’t say for sure but... I’m pretty confident about this. Art programs exist for a reason! They’ll make your life so much easier (especially if you’re using a tablet, but even for artists who use a mouse). There’s great free programs all around; Medibang, Krita, etc.
Take the time to learn a program and I promise it’ll help you out so much. (Watch speedpaints, read tutorials, etc)
and finally: improve yourself
This applies to every story, let’s be honest, but it’s worth mentioning. Every comic is written and drawn differently but storytelling and art are crafts that we never stop improving. And the better you do them, the more people will notice your results. Look into those topics, actively try to improve your art and script, look at your favourite comics and think ‘what do they have that I dont?’ and strive to get there.
Best of luck!
