Introductions: Let's read a bit about everyone here

[AliceTuinz]

Hi Leyelle, you sound like a wonderful person and I read a bit through your works, your prose is beautiful

[Leyelle]

Oh, TYSM. I wasn't expecting you to read anything I wrote lol, but thank you

Hey ^^

My name is Justin
A few month ago I started my journey with my comic: Third Helix

Drawing has been in my life for a long time with many ups and downs. But in the end drawing makes my head crystal clear and at peace.

I am always searching for comics and stories to read.
When I started creating my own story, I only showed it to a small group of people. They motivated me to go publish on tapas. And here I am

The main genre is comedy. Creating a smile on someones face really makes my day.
I think we should laugh more, life is hard enough already.

I'm genuinely curious about people and the community

[AliceTuinz]

Hi Justin ,
I'm actually following your comic and love what I read so far, so your group of friends encouraging you to publish knew what they were talking about.

[Lensing]

My name is Pete, I´m a musician, writer, comic artist.
My main instruments are vocals, upright bass and acoustic guitar.
I´m from Germany. I´m into a lot of old stuff from the 1930s-1950s.

The oldest paintings that I did and still have is from 1977.
My oldest comics that I still have are from the early 80s.

My brother is a writer (novels and books for kids), songwriter and comic artist too,
we sometimes work together.

Comics are mostly my passion / hobby but I also illustrate for money and
I teach kids how to draw.

I´m working on one comic story right now which is kind of a life long passion
project. I want it to be exactly like I imagine it and I want it to be printed.
I´m working on it since a long time and I´m trying out a lot

That´s me in my work space at home + the cover of the comic I won some
german comic prize with which got me the teacher job

I've loved drawing since I was a child, but I mostly drew anime characters I liked, such as some robot anime characters or Dragon Ball characters. My parents neither encouraged nor opposed my drawing.

I stopped drawing for various reasons, and it was many years later before I picked up the pen again to draw.
Currently, I'm serializing this comic Roars and Whispers (RAW). I also take on some illustration commissions.

I like to try various different styles and incorporate them into my work. Deceased art masters I admire include Gauguin, Mucha, and Klimt.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential...

Very well, where do I begin?

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles.

There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

[AliceTuinz]

Hi Pete, your comic style is mad cool, instant sub! Are you planning to publish the one you're working on right now, or keep it as a side project?

[sophialyn]

Hello everyone! My name is Sophia, I am 22. I have been drawing since I was 5 and writing for as long as I can remember. I had entire stories and lore attached to the toys I would play with so I never took my writing seriously because I felt it was attached to something so juvenile. I started writing the book I’m posting now in 2018, my passion for it is what led me to study writing and start seeing myself as a writer.
I’m impatient with stories I don’t enjoy and write to make the change I want to see.
I love people, I love flaws, and I love an underdog!
Hope we can connect and read each other’s stories!

It's great that you picked up the pen again because your action scenes are awesome.

[AliceTuinz]

Hi Sophia! All of you guys are so talented. Love your art style too, and I've always loved knowing a bit of the story of the person behind the stories ( bit of a tongue twister I did there).

[sophialyn]

Thank you so much! Same here! I’m excited to read your work! I love a good chaotic romance

[Lensing]

Thank you for the interest and the compliment. The art style that I chose there was directed
to an all ages audience. My passion project is for adults but with a similiar style.
It´s a sex comedy with a focus on the humour and cartoony awkwardness.
I want it to be printed and I will look for an european publisher for it

[kyupol]

In all those years... Had lots of hiatuses. The longest one was when I "gave up" on comics in 2018 as I was working 60 hour work weeks

[AliceTuinz]

Is it the one you have published here, on Tapas?

[AliceTuinz]

Life has the bad habit of getting in the way, doesn't it?

[ArtGremlin]

Hi! I go by Gremlin and I think I’m one of the younger people on the forums (at least who interact) I’ve probably drawn all my life, but I think it was three-ish years ago when I really got into it and realized the purpose to my art, which is to tell stories. Currently working on a fantasy comic (or I would if I didn’t keep getting distracted by writing 5 other things) and the thing that keeps me going is my deep love for my characters. I love seeing through their eyes and thinking, how would this person react to a situation?
