The World Dragon: The Masked Warrior
The World Dragon is actually a title name I had for over 10 years, it was used for the many older stories like "The Last World Dragon". Now it's used as a main title for the many recent stories as they take place in the same realm.
Now The Masked Warrior part, I actually struggled coming up for a title for Yul and Tian's story. Yul works in a restaurant while Tian works in a pottery shop. At first I thought about their jobs as something but hard to get something to click and it was a bit endless with the thinking.
Then I had the thought, a lot of story has Yul being fixated over Tian's mask. A person wearing a decorative mask in the region usually signifies a warrior status so "The Masked Warrior" came to life.

It is a term I made up to make fun of conflicts that are solved by fighting. But it bacame endearing to me over the years

For example:
"Our hero is attacked by 3 goons, how will he get out of this one"
"He does some Wushi Wushi and beats them up"

¨12 corações" (12 hearts)
its because the comic have 12 protagonists (one for cap)
one heart = one guy
12 hearts = they all
and they born in diferent months
its simple lmao, but i like

Ha ha, that makes scenes, in the scenes they always move super fast wushi wushi :))

This story began coming to me when I was a teenager. Crazy to think how it's stuck around this long... I finally started fleshing it out and writing it during the pandemic, and I'm so excited to be sharing here on Tapas!

Lyfay is a made up word that essentially means to me "the land of the fay." In my case, elves.

Guardians of Creation came about later as I realized that a made up word wouldn't mean much to people, so I wanted to give more context. The elves in my story preserve and protect nature, but are struggling against the forces of the world's society and greed. The story touches on various real-world issues with a fantasy (and romance) twist.

I'm so stoked for my third book of the Damsel in the Red Dress series and it's title, but I can't spoil that now, so I just say that for both the books of the series so far, every chapter titles has revolved around a consistent theme.

For book one it was color. Makes sense, the female lead is a painter, so we get chapter titles like "Sticky Black." "Sanguine Thread" "Chess with Cinnabar Pawns." "White Hole" and "Lurid."

The second books chapter titles will be harder to take seriously because of their nature, they are all named after things revolving around, relating to, or associated with children. Hence we have chapter titles like "Playing House" "Plastic Armor" "A Spoonful of Sugar." "Dolls" "Freeze Tag" and "Peekaboo."

I feel like the further I get into "Sun with a Paper Crown" the more details about childhood I think of to use for chapter titles. It goes beyond things like games and lullabies, to ideas like "Babble" "Tantrum" "Snow Man" and such. It's fun to think if the way these ideas can be attributed to what takes place in each chapter, and I wonder how many of my readers have tried to figure out the context behind the less obvious ones.

a version of the re-made chapter! Come check and leave comments, likes and share (yes on webtoon too)

Well "Rigamarole" is named that for a number of reasons, but the primary reason is the idea of random gibberish and nonsense. Since the story is written from random words in the dictionary, I had to figure out how to put all the chaos together into something that makes sense. Hence, rigamarole.

It randomly came to me when I was in either 7th or 8th grade lol. I was walking with my friend, telling them about my manga idea and it literally just popped up in my head!
That was over 17 years ago :flushed:

The title "The Kitten and Its White Canvas" came after a couple of glasses of wine and a time staring at the storyboard I finished :joy::joy:

But hey, there's meaning! The "White Canvas" refers to the schoolboy - Addai - whose daily life was colored in monochromatic hues. The "White" refers to how colorless his life was despite his tries in art classes. The Kitten came to paint new colors - emotions - into the boy's life, painting on his Life's Canvas by offering him a flower a day (I used the Canvas analogy due to his art classes).
That's it!:heart:

that's sweet though, and it does form an interesting concept of the story

That's so cool... I love the delayed gratification of the meaning of a title finally clicking into place like a puzzle piece.

17 years ago! I've been developing my story for a long time, too, over 10 years. I think it's awesome that we're finally putting our dream on the page, making it real.

Right!
I didn’t actually start putting the pen to the pad until 2020!
I’m so excited for the future!

The name is kind of a double entendre for both the initial plot of the story and also the thought process of me creating the strip in the first place, which I thought was kind of cool Lmao!! The Experiment
