Introductions: Make Friends, Meet Artists, Say Hello To Your Fans

[Lance_ff]

Hey guys,

I am Lance and I am a newcomer in this webcomic thing. My first series is called Final Fist and it is about martial artists from all over the world trying to become the greatest fighter in the planet.. I hope you like it.

I just started here yesterday, so I didn't had opportunity to read a lot (blame the great firewall of China...), but a series that stood out to me was Seraphim, it got great art and a very well-written plot. I definitely recommend it.

[Bii0]

Guess I should do this?...

I'm Bii0, pronounced like the smell (B-O), signed up on this site a while back and didn't really like it. But I recently decided to give it another chance, and so far it's -meh-. I actually have two comics I'm working on, one was created to get me into the whole webcomic vibe, a slice of lift sort of thing about a religious kid. The other is a spin-off with other character from that comic and it's universe, but it's more of a personal thing so it's tumblr exclusive.
I would title drop and link one of them, and try to make them sound appealing, but I really don't want to. Legitimately, they're not the best.

Comics I would recommend? Grey Eyes - The Slaves, Bad Bad Things, The Black Bull of Norroway and The Little Vampire Witch are ones I really enjoy. I like their styles, stories and characters... sorry, not the best at hyping stuff up.

Hi! I'm Annabel and I've just signed up to this site. My webcomic is "Polyphemus" and it's a retelling of Greek mythology, focusing on the monsters. Particularly on the cyclops Polyphemus and the true tale of his meeting with Odysseus! You should check it out - it's going to be awesome.

I haven't had time yet to read a lot of comics on here but a couple of great ones I've found are "Stop Looking at All Those Stars" and "Luthien"! (: They both have really great art and completely different styles to each other, and "Stop Looking at All Those Stars" especially doesn't have many subscribers so it deserves more!

I'm really looking forward to meeting more people on this site, so please say hello! ^-^

[martharpearson]

Hello, I'm Marty for short. I am a cartoonist by trade. My day to day job is just to pay the bills.

My comic Hello Prince Awkward is an adventure story inspired by the daily superhero comic strips such as Batman the Dailies, Spiderman, so on so forth and the only one I've seen of a story driven comic has been Prince Valiant. I hope to put it in a newspaper. I have it here. I have it on Wordpress. It has a Patreon and a Deviantart Gallery folder. I really want to put it out there.

Shadowbinders is the webcomic that got me here.

[samuraiotaku]

Hi Everyone! I'm SamuraiOtaku and I just recently started posting on this site (^^)
I am a huge anime and manga fan and a huge fan of comedy (^^)
I'm mostly been self-taught by copy practice and many how to draw books. Biggest thing that helped me was scribbling in all of my school notebooks (^^;)
I would love make lots of friends on here (^^)
This is my Webcomic Nitou-Ryu!
It's mostly a comedy at the moment because I'm not very good at drawing action yet with a little bit of romance
Here is my most recent page to show the state of my art style currently.

[Silerna]

Greetings! I call myself Silerna on this world wide web and I've been into drawing ever since...well ever since I could pick-up a pencil. Introduced into Anime/Manga in 2003 when I saw a friend sketching this type of drawing. Been in love with the style ever since haha.
My favorite tool to use are my superb watercolours markers that I prefer over the digital tools.
I'm hosting my comic Friendly Neighbours here on Tapastic. It's a slice of life comic about real life issues, my weirdo cat and much more in a fun way. All characters are based on their real-life person.

Been on Tapastic for a few months by now, since Inkblazers went offline where I hosted my comic. Here on Tapastic my favourite comics and also recommended to you!
-Echo by Getsu
-The MYth series by Zelda CW
-Carciphona by Shilin
-the Soul Chaser by Studio Kawaii

And many other Shoujo/fantasy or slice of life comics.I read more then I watch anime ^^'
Oh yeah I love cookies, bye!

[Busalonium]

Hi.
I make Thor's Thundershack. It's one of those dumb gag comics and I've been making it for about 5 years.
I've noticed tapastic seems to be becoming popular so I thought it would be a good idea to try putting my comic on it to expand my audience.
I'm slowly uploading this year's comics and some selected comics from earlier.
My main site can be found here http://thorsthundershack.com/
And on tapastic http://tapastic.com/series/Thors-Thundershac

[daisyryan]

Hey :3

My name is Daisy and I'm still quite new to Tapastic! I joined a little over a month ago and have posted 5 pages of my comic Pre-Married Life. It is basically a comic about my everyday life, but only the funny parts!

My favourite comics on here are;
Fail By Error
Brutally Honest
Anti-Social Media
Random Artventures
And All That Jazz

I really like the slice of life comics about all the funny tales of daily life the artists have, they make me feel more normal and sometimes spark inspiration for my own comic!
I hope you don't mind checking out my series and good luck to you all <3

[Aspie_Gamer]

Hey there. Names TDSTRVN. Been drawing since I was little. I have one comic published here on Tapastic by the name of Life of an Aspie. It's my first attempt at shoujo. It's got elements of shoujo and slice of life, but its also its own unique thing as its not a shoujo manga that's a slave to its tropes and clichés. (At least that's what I'm aiming for with Life of an Aspie) I'm trying to aim for at least a page a day for right now. Eventually I want to upload chunks of a chapter over the course of a week as I get faster at drawing while still maintaining quality control.

As you may have guessed, the main protagonist, Susan Graham has Asperger's (which is like autism in some ways) and is an American girl living in and going to school in Japan which I feel is pretty unique among shoujo protaganists. My comic's only a few pages into its first chapter, but I hope anyone reading this will at least give it a look.

On the subject of my favorite Tapastic comic, I have several, but my most favorite in the lol why am I reading this category is this crazy super Mario bros OC shipping comic by the name of Gangster Mama. If you like balls to the wall crazy OC shipping stories, you will probably like Gangster Mama. It's a fairly simple story with a fair amount of backlog so new readers should be able to breeze through it while at school or work though I wouldn't recommend reading ANY NSFW comic when not at home as you never know who may be behind your back

It's creator, ShyGirl also has an original comic that's newish called My Dear Rabbit that she's currently working on while GM is on hiatus.

[RedVampire]

Heeya guys, I'm new around here. I haven't been visiting forums in a long time and well, making a return seems kinda exhausting looking. Hopefully it would not. I hope forums are mobile friendly now XD

My comic's Goodbye Yesterday; http://tapastic.com/series/Goodbye-Yesterday
It's about a university's anime club's exco board using superpowers for their own agendas. It's loosely based off a real life university anime club in Malaysia so I hope it will interest some of you guys since it's dramatized biography in a way. haha.

Hope to stick around and get used to the forum layout then.

[Silerna]

Hello new folks (: Here's a cookie for everyone!

[jordanthelass]

Hi! ^_^

I'm J. Robbins and I've been drawing since my freshman year of high school .. (Which was .. a LONG time ago. X3).

I currently have one series on here called Geeks Are Us, and I'm very excited to share it with you guys!

Here's the run-down!:

"Geeks Are Us" follows the shenanigans of five people in their mid-20's.

Jordan is currently getting comfortable with his/her gender identity. Nate is Jordan's best friend and jokes about everything. Ruby is the new girl that loves to mess with everyone. Sean is the one that has bad timing with his jokes. Johnny is the one that has the huge eyebrows and is the biggest geek of them all."

Note: There are some LGBT elements in the story as well--please don't let that turn you away!

The comic is divided into episodes, much like a sitcom, and will cover as much character development as I possibly can. That way, if anyone feels they want to see more of a certain character, I can devote an episode to them! ^_^

I look forward to reading all your guys' works, too! I've been having the time of my life on Tapastic.

Talk to you guys soon!

EDIT: Oh! My favorite comics on here at the moment are Sarah's Scribbles, Torakun Comics, My Favourite Pizza, Conspiracy of Birds--just some out of ALL my reading list! Heheh. ^_^;

[VaoMamago]

Hey, watashiva Vao desu BASTARDS!

I love comics, it is my passion. I'm artist and writer in the same time.
Also I love an old movies, arthouse, video-games, anime, manga and other nerd staff.
I love music and use it in my tapastic comic Troubles. Check it out and I hope
you gonna love it.

Troubles is kinda manga about school where strange things happens. It is an adult shit,
so be ready for rude language and etc. I try create a complex story with complex
characters. My work is about difficult relationships, teenage troubles, real troubles, fear
and friendship.
So check it out, I will appreciate it. PEACE!

[DruidPeter]

Hello, Jacquie!

I checked out your RUN/NIGHT comic. Interesting stuff!

[eschaefges]

Hi, i'm Schaefges! I have been reading comics since Wolverine #86 way back in the 90's, but nowadays mostly buy hardcovers and paperbacks (I prefer the whole story in one sitting). I read and enjoy many genres, but mostly follow creators - some favorite creators are Chris Schweizer, Steve LeCouilliard, Mike Allred, Darwyn Cooke, Amanda Conner, Frank Quitely, Brian Bendis, Mike Maihack, Doug TenNapel, Tony Cliff, Phil Noto, Rob Guillory, Ryan Ottley, INJ Culbard, Erica Henderson, and Ben Caldwell.

Four years ago, I started writing and drawing a graphic novel, A LEGEND (of some sort). It is a parody/homage of the Legend of Zelda; A Link to the Past, in the spirit of GalaxyQuest or Mel Brooks.

I have written, drawn, inked, scanned, lettered, flatted the entire 208 page beast, and colored the first 160 pages. Coloring the back half has been slow as I've picked up a couple of family additions since I started and they take up a lot of my time, so I decided to pressure myself to finish by launching on Tapastic! I think this is a great site with huge opportunity, and have loved jumping in the community these last two weeks! The first page (really a chapter header, there will be 8 chapters in all) launches today - but come back tomorrow for page 2! I will be posting full color comics 7 days a week at 6am Pacific until the whole thing is done next year!

[mannykat8x]

Hey there tapastic peeps! Manny (or Sarah) here! And I've been doodling for as long as I can remember, making the jump to wanting to do an actual series with my characters when I was around 8-10 (my first official character was a super hero stick figure named Super Bob)

And now around 14-16 years later, I not only have one webcomic, but TWO, with a third that's a super casual Slice of Life series. My two main ones are directly related to my core interests of things of the ghostly and feline variety!

First of is my 3 year old series Guardian Ghost, which follows the adventures of a wayward ghost, the anxious teen he happened to revive, and countless ghostly monsters that really don't like ghosts reviving people. They meet others in the same situation and help eachother deal with the monsters, and the issues that come with them. And while the art starts off not so great, it gets significantly better each chapter.

Then there's Fighting Dreamers, my 1 year old series (with characters I've had since high school) where average housecats awaken their Dreamer forms in a different dimension whenever they sleep in our world. With these super powered Dreamer Forms, they fight off monsters that are all about destroying other universes/dimensions the cats are able to access through portals. The comic itself follows Stewie, one of the new recruits who just got a full team very recently, and is still figuring things out.

I've been on this site since...February 1st if this year I believe. I remember doing one of those Hourly Comic Day things and I distinctly remember drawing something for how I thought Tapastic was weird to work with. But I've gotten used to it since then and I love this site! I love the community and how there are so many nice comics and that I CAN UPDATE STUFF IN ADVANCE SO EASILY 8D

I can't wait to keep updating here and eventually have enough readers to get a support thing going on
And chat with all of you of course 8D

[Jacquie]

Thanks, it's great to hear that! I'm glad you like it!

[KenReynolds]

Hi all, glad to have opened my account here. Looking around it's clear the community is strong, supportive and full of very creative people.

I'm Ken Reynolds, a Graphic Designer, Comic Book Letterer, and Writer.

I joined, primarily, to have a place to host a completed comic book #0 issue, with a view to building an audience for a future fundraising campaign. Now I'm here I've realised it will be a perfect home for a series of comic strips I worked on a few years back too.

If you are interested in chcking out my comic, it's called 'Cognition' ognition follows the exploits of a steam-powered automaton inhabited by a human spirit and a demonically possessed mouse. They battle spirits, monsters and folkloric nasties for the British Occult Secret Service during the ‘Golden Age’ of the Victorian era. - http://tapastic.com/series/Cognition
