How does one simply create a comic?

[Crew_Zephyria]

Hey there... I'm kinda new at this platform and in making art in general. I'm interested on making/starting a comic here but I don't know the maximum size/resolution that tapas allows you to upload. Even when I checked the forum for answers I'm still unsure. Please help :I

Hello and welcome!!

So, when you go to actually upload a page Tapas will give you (hopefully) all the details you need right there! This is copied from that page:

"For image quality, that is. Each image can be up to 940 x 4000px, with a maximum file size of 2MB."

I hope that helps! Best of luck with your comic!

oh.. Okay~ THANK YOU! OWO)/

I'll add that you can upload up to 40 images on one episode, and there is no space at all between the images. So if you're doing a vertical comic, don't be afraid to slice your canevas on the middle of a panel, it won't show at all.

That's the thing.

One does not simply walk to Mordor.

Also shorter images load faster than long ones.
If you go with the 940 x 4000px it would take some time for it to appear while 940 x 1253px won't take that long.
Also quality. 350dpi for good quality.

Have you made the ritual offerings first?

You simply must leave cookies & milk out for Cartoon Clause...or you'll never get more than 10 subscribers.

Jokes on you, we do not intend to walk that path anyway.

welcome aboard!
if you plan on doing a vertical scrolling webcomic
[ Croppy ] comes in VERY handy! Especially if you plan on uploading both on Tapas and Webtoons.
it'll do the whole slicing and resizing in a matter of seconds, saving you a lot of grief and agony.
Such a life saver!

Felt this was necessary.

if you want to work on a different size canvas - for example a long canvas because you're planning on doing a long vertical scroll comic, you can use croppy to slice and/or auto resize for you(I see @Rosso already linked it, but if you want to use it without leaving tapas, there is the croppy extension (youtube videos are there to explain how this one works)

One does not simply post a "One does not simply" meme template on a tapas forum that is titled "How does one simply create a comic?" Yeah seems about right. xD

This is the most meta thing I've seen today.

What does Meta mean btw? (Aside from Most Efficient Tactic Available)
