Hey y'all, I wanted to introduce myself here since these forums are so active and the community here seems to be so strong and helpful. I'm Sarah, I'm currently attending SCAD working on my degree in Sequential Art, after which I'll be getting my Master's so I can eventually teach in the SEQA department myself.
I just migrated my comic here from Smack Jeeves after that major upheaval. I really wanted to be able to interact with my readers and participate in a forum of other creators, both of which SJ took away, so on the suggestion of one of my readers, I moved everything here to Tapas, and I'm already loving it. The forum is really active, people seem to be helping each other out a lot, which I love, and readers seem to be more active here than SJ. I've only been on Tapas for about a week, and my comic has already gotten nearly 50 subscribers, which is more than I had on SJ after being there for three months!
My comic is Hollow, a modern magical adventure comic starring a directionless young man named Skyler. When he was 14, he was chosen to be an anime-style magical hero, collecting the scattered Amulets, fighting rogue magic, and saving the day with his best friend Paige, his battle companion Levi, and his magical talking animal guide Tenebrous (Tenny-B for short). But then he collected the final Amulet, saved the day, and everything.... stopped. His crew split up, his animal guide vanished, and he had to figure out how to suddenly be a normal person living a normal, magic-free life.
It's been six years since then, and Skyler is trying to get back on his feet. He's going to college, he's got his own apartment, he's actually leaving the house, and he's trying to move on with his normal life - when suddenly rogue magic appears out of nowhere. Skyler has to find out who is behind it and put a stop to it, but he's depressed and out of practice. And who should show up at the same time as all this new magic, but Levi, his former magical battle companion! What's going on? Who is behind this new aggressive magic? What is Levi doing back? And can Skyler manage to put a stop to all this and still pass World History 101?
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to sharing my comic with everyone and keeping up with everything that goes on in these forums, and I'm definitely glad I decided to hop over here after Smack Jeeves lost its marbles!
