[Jophiel]

Hi hi! My name is Anne //

I joined the forums in hopes of finding the drive to work on my stories soon and also find helpful advice when it comes to crafting stories Most of my stories are fantasy-based but I find myself reading more about romance comics haha.

I don't have much sites I post in but my DA is https://www.deviantart.com/akria-gakari It's nice to meet everyone!

[ryoko]

Yay for more dragon peeps! It's nice to meet you, desktop_dragon Having a reboot of the Introduction thread was a great idea With so many new faces as well as familiar faces, this is a wonderful way for everyone to get acquainted or reacquainted with each other.

I'm not new ^_^; I'm wnqs and have been around for a few years now. I have a very long ongoing fantasy rom/com full of dragons, cats and other mythical beasties that I draw when I'm not at work

[GGY]

Hello there everyone. I'm The Darkone, I write stuff and scroll through the forums every so often to comment on stuff here and there.

Anyone curious to check me out I have two works I'm working on here on the site.

Dual Soul | Tapas

Blade Quest | Tapas

[spadedigsbutts]

I’ve been here less than a year but it’s been super fun and I’m enjoying the community! Love talking to people and posting comics!

[ivori]

Hey all, my name is Ivori, I'm from the PNW and I just joined tapas this past month to post my very first original comic and support my friends works too!

I adore the fantasy genre and almost none of my characters are human, it's an unfortunate compulsion I also love a good bit of horror and mystery though

IRL I'm working towards doing art and other creative projects full time! if you'd like to read my entirely self indulgent work about vampires, music, and other fantastical beasts it's called Tennin

Tennin | Tapas

[summermcallen]

Hello everyone

I'm not really new here, but I'd lik to introduce myself and meet you all
My name is Svenja, I'm 25 (in 5 days 26) years old and live in Germany.
I love drawing since I was young and always wanted to do something with it, like be an animator, game designer or fashion designer. Now I'm a developer ok.. I must say I work in the frontend, so it’s a bit design, but not drawing.
I have a dog, so I do a lot with her in my freetime and play videogames. Luckily my boyfriend is the same as me (except the drawing) and we give each other a lot of time to do our hobbies. And I like to watch anime
When I was a kid the others really bullied me because of my drawing, so I started hiding it. When I meet my boyfriend, he was the first one since 7-8 years who I tell it And his reaction was soo good. He really supported me and years after years I started social media accounts and then finally my own webtoon. I'm really glad that I did
But because I hiding my drawing, I don't have friends with the same hobbie. So I joined this forum And it's really fun
sorry for the long text XD

here is my webtoon:

Grim Reaper in training

[summermcallen]

Hi
I really love your style. It looks soo good
and aww... what puppers do you have? I have a Labrador-Old English Bulldog-Mix. A really lively puppy 10 Month old

[summermcallen]

Hello to all the new and old tapas members

[DogshitJay]

Hello Cynthia and everyone!!

I'm DogshitJay, but people just call me Jay!

Here's some things about me:
I'm hooked on romance, I read it nonstop and now I write it too!
I'm an advertising writer by trade but and this is my first EVER creative writing, and the Tapas community has brought me SO far in developing my writing over the last 2 months. <3
I love connecting and chatting with other webserials writers, on here and on twitter (I'm @dogshitjayyy) so say hello to me anytime anywhere and we can be best friends immediately!
I'm a canadian living in Europe, and it gets a little lonely, so I'm way too chatty.
I also brought my cat abroad and she has like 7 thumbs toes per paw, and she is a beautiful Thumb Cat.
Anywho, this is the romance I'm writing! It's a spicy lgbtq+ bisexual love triangle.

Kiss It Better | Tapas

[taylorlauren]

Hey, all c: nice to meet you guys!

My name is Tae and I write the novel on tapas called, "Adventures in Magic."
I spend a lot of my time either drawing or writing or reading. I started posting on tapas sometime around the middle of last year so I'm still pretty new. I love checking out other peoples' work! I'm also open to giving feedback if anyone ever wants to do so as well in return.

Adventures In Magic | Tapas

[mrtoontastic]

I'm Jean-Luc! (Also known as Mr. Toontastic in smaller/niche areas like deviantart, steam, and the like)

I like cartoons, cartoons, cartoons, and good ol' adventure stories. If I'm not working on my own brand of silly stories and thrilling adventures, I'm playing video games, and lots of them.

[sanoan]

Hello! Im Jamie or San on the internet and I recently started my webcomic Neon Soul over a month ago. It's a cyberpunk fantasy comic that takes place 20XX years after the world was save from a dark force that may or may not come back. Give it a read if you like!

Neon Soul | Tapas

[mrtoontastic]

You have a neat looking artstyle, dude

[sanoan]

thank you! I tried

[juniorguilherme340]

@desktop_dragon Yeah I started learning anatomy by brute practice really (no books and stuff). Looking back now I made it harder than necessary by not only trying to get body shape right but also learning how to draw bodies from different angles like top down and such. So there was a very irritation stage I went trough of drawing and discarding sketches. But now days I have my own tricks to consistently draw human bodie in different angles.

So I draw with a ballpoint pen, and since you can make different levels of shading with it. I start by making the veeery light
sketchy version of the body, then cover it with the necessary details. Faces being by far the hardest to get it right. But if you use the grid system (sketchy lines to cover where eyes/moth and nose placement should be) then your face will always look right. Its easy to place those 3 key aspects of the face offtrack (too low, too high and so on). As for the body/hands/ feet, as long as you have a general knowledge of where the muscles are, then its not that hard. But thanks for asking though. Just let me know if there's anything else you wanna know as I guess I am kinda of decent on the subject xD.

I could also say a few things about lighting if anyone would be interested. I think this is one of my better works lighting wise:

I really love your style. It looks soo good and aww... what puppers do you have? I have a Labrador-Old English Bulldog-Mix. A really lively puppy 10 Month old

Thanks Summer!

I have a Manchester Terrier, who is a little nightmare but I love her anyways, and a very nice pit bull. Both of them are now around 8 or 9 years old and finally calming down. I really don't miss the puppy energy, older dogs all the way!

[linaket]

Aw, this is great!

Anyway hi I’m linaket, but y’all can call me Lina for short, and I’m a novelist here.

About me uhh... I love connecting with new writers and getting giddy about stories and ideas and creation. I usually hang out on discord a lot where I mod a few small servers (I’m linaket on there, too, feel free to reach out for invites and such!). I made a Twitter, too, but I keep forgetting I have it (@bylinaket).

I’m from the American south, I’m a single mom to a teenager and a near zoo of pets (help) and I work retail. I have several degrees in English/writing, but I took a long time off due to some personal stuff. When I started writing again, I was looking for a place to share online and found Tapas! I love the community and the responsiveness from staff. Usually in these spaces, writers take a back seat, but I don’t feel that way here at Tapas!

Anyway here’s my novel... that I started 10 years ago and just restarted. I’m excited for the journey it’s taking me on, and I hope others can feel the same.

Shadow's Prey | Tapas

[madocallie]

Hello! You can call me Mado.

I’m fairly new to webtoon style comics, but I’ve been drawing and writing for over ten years - and I hope to pursue a career in the creative industries (like game development/illustration/comic work) after I graduate from uni. I also like to study foreign languages (Chinese is one of my majors) and sing musical theatre/opera.

I’m currently working on my debut comic SEVEN MILES DOWN. It’s also my entry into Webtoon’s current short story contest.

I don’t know if it’s appropriate to post Webtoon-only comics on Tapas’s forum, but I couldn’t find a large discussion board/forum for promoting Webtoon-based works, so here I am, haha.

Regardless though, you can read my comic here:

Seven Miles Down (B)

I look forward to joining in discussions here - and hopefully I’ll be inspired enough to try my hand at a larger webtoon-style comic!
