My comic's only been on Tapas for a month, but I've been working on it for about 4 years total. It used to be a video game, but the story kind of took over...and here we are.

You can see the evidence of that any time a real-world date appears in the comic. Makes my poor main character look like he's walking around maskless in the pandemic

I started my comic Zenchav around 6 years ago, but last year I discontinued that version and rewrote it as a more condensed version called Ring Spell. I've been working on Ring Spell since April of last year

I've been working on my comic for four years, and it isn't even the project that I've been working on the longest XD I have one novel project that I've been working on for 10 years but I'm still not happy about it...
Anyway here's the comic

I've actually been working on my comic since early 2011, but I officially released it back in autumn 2018 (that's when I got better at digital art).

I've only been writing for a few months, mainly in between finishing university and trying to find a job. It's still a work in progress, but if anyone wants a gander here's the link:

It's a fantasy/romance genre

I designed the first concept of this story 5 yrs ago, but I only sat down to do the plotline in march last year.

I have been developing my world and characters for 10+ years now. The story went through a lot of changes changing from Sci-fi to urban fantasy, to dark fantasy. This story was originally kick started by my cousin who told me I should turn my idea into a comic, rather than just some floating sketches in my sketchbook. Since then, I spent a lot of time building world lore and cultures. Heck, I even have developed a language for them (though I am still working out all or the grammar rules, as its still a little rough).

My Novel is actually more of a novella. It would only be about 20 book pages long. I spent about a week writing, entirely engulfed in the project. Now I'm uploading it in short chapters every five days. I had the idea in December and spent about a week developing. I started writing, and then uploading at the beginning of January.

I've been creating drafts of my comic and doing drawings of it's characters for 12 years, but I officially started turning it into a comic in January 2018 and first published it that same summer. So officially 3 years, but also technically much longer from the conceptual stage.

I started posting my debut comic on December last year. I started work on it in November, so it’s quite a baby project at the moment! Chapter 1 is up, and chapter 2 will start posting on 1st of Feb!

Oh wow. I have to think now! lol. I've been publishing my stories online since August 2020, but I originally worked on Tempest back in 2014, and it took me 2 years to finish it. And The Last Goddess was an idea I started in 2017. I'm still working on that one but nearly finished! To be fair, my story writing took so long because between all those years I was in school, working multiple jobs, and then writing whenever I wasn't totally exhausted!

I was never sure I would ever show my stories to people, but ever since I made the decision it only made my love of writing blossom more, so to speak!

My comic has been running for 7 months. I started it in late July 2020 and I've uploaded a couple of pages every week since then. Except the one time I went on hiatus for 2 weeks. So I guess my comic is still pretty new, I've only completed uploaded 2 episodes so far. Right now I'm uploading episode 3 (I actually finished it already but I've scheduled the uploads so it ends three weeks from now because I want to be able to work ahead even more). And that's about it!

My novel is pretty new; I just published it last month! It currently has two chapters at the moment. Overall, it has over 300 views, 61 likes, and 39 subscribers. I'd say it's pretty good though, I'm also actually new to Tapas; I just joined last month. However, if you'd ask since when was I thinking about the plot for my novel, well... it's been a while! I think I've started thinking about the idea and plot since... September last year? It took me a while to think of a solid plot and to build up how the story goes, but so far, I'm happy that I've published it in Tapas! I love writing so much, if I do say so myself, so this is a total win for me! I'd also appreciate it if some people would check on my novel, as featured below. Thank you! (✿◠‿◠)

I started working on my comic off and on somewhere around summer of 2019, posted the first page in March of last year, and I've been working on it pretty consistently since. It'll be coming up on the one year anniversary pretty soon!

Concepted the idea for Alternate You!niverse in 2017, really sat down to write out, design, and plan the story and characters in 2018 on the side while I was working on the then running comic Tale of the Serpent, worked on and off on panels in 2019, in 2020 I completely turned my focus on it, working on panels for chapter 1 in february, released the prologue in webtoons in may, with my latest release in december. Haven't gotten a release out for 2021 but hopefully in the next month or so ;o; It's currently my youngest series.

For my other comic (which I put on hiatus. It's... gonna be a while before I ever get back to this one. I'm putting all my attention on A-You! right now so I won't be picking this one back up until it's over.) Tale of the Serpent is a comic in a series of stories I've been working on since 2014. I wrote TotS in book format between actual scripting and like, crazed summaries in 2016, sketched up the first five chapters in 2017 and sat to work inking them all. (Chapter 5 isn't on tapas and webtoons, its on the main site, and half of chapter 5 is still un-inked ): ) I paused the comic officially back in december 2019, so it ran for about threeish years.

(you can read it if you want, it's hard to read mostly bc it's not meant for endless scroll style.)

I got the idea for my current book series in 2017 or so, wrote a short summary for the initial plot, but didn't work more on that as I was busy with another project at that time (and there was a long writer's block between all of that). I would work on plot and characters in-between but I only started concentrating on it in 2019. The first book in the series is being released here on Tapas, and I'm preparing for the second one to publish soon.

I started posting my comic in March 2019, however I rebooted it a few months ago. XD I still consider mid March to be the anniversary of the comic tho lol
