Join in on the Tapastic Winter Fest!

[PotooGryphon]

LMAO! That's a hilarious situation. I love it!

[DaveStankoven]

I guess I'm confused as to how this ties in to the other winterfest comics. Are these drawings being added to the releases? Or is this supplemental?

How does this actually tie in to the releases? I wouldn't mind drawing my characters though I don't really understand what happens to the drawings.

[PotooGryphon]

It's a fun extra way to let more people join in.

The collab episodes themselves, are on a set track that's been planned out months ahead of time, so there's nothing I can do about that. However, I'm willing to showcase each person's art on my own extra series and social media accounts as a way to help cross promote each person's series.

[DynamoToon]

This is awesome!! I'll draw the greatest RFI booth you've ever done seen! What's the maximum size for the image tho? I don't wanna send something that's too big

[PotooGryphon]

Oh, good question. Normal Tapastic size limits apply since I'd collect and share them on the Extra Fluff series.

[Maffi]

How come i havent seen this before! Im gona get into this as soon as i have time!
Btw are gif files allowed? Or is this limited to png and jpg ?

[shazzbaa]

Aw Cyndi this is such a cute and cool idea!! ;u; I really wanna draw my guys in winter gear now so LOL WE'LL SEE IF I FIND TIME;;;;;;;

[PotooGryphon]

Btw are gif files allowed? Or is this limited to png and jpg ?

Yep, go wild and have fun!

[Tanisha]

Ahh so this was so much fun to do!!
This character of mine hasn't been introduced in my comic Model Student yet so I won't reveal her name yet but she is really into flowers and stuff so I made a flower booth that looks really simple to go with her personality!~^^b

[PotooGryphon]

Oh my goodness! It's such a beautiful stand. I love plant stands and flowers.

Oh! I have some fun questions to go with it:

Does your character have a favorite flower? Do you think she would grow these flowers herself or does she just sell freshly cut flowers? And please, tell me more about Model Student. What's it about?

Oh! And please tell how you made your stand. Did you use google sketchup to help get the proportions right or did you use rulers in Manga studio? Do you have any tips on coloring? Your colors look really nice.

[Tanisha]

Oh so many questions that I have many answers to!~

She can't decide if she likes lilies or roses as her favorite flower.

She grows all the flowers herself while her and family sells them to people!

Model Student is about is about a girl who is striving to become a model just like her mother! The story explores the ups and downs of her getting to be one with the help and support of other characters in the story.

The stand was made by someone on the clipstudio website and I just decorated it to my liking. Nothing too special xDD
I added the wood and toned certain parts of it since I already loved the way it looked. I kept this model in hand for future scenes in my manga so i decided to use it here!~
My tips on coloring would have to be messing around with hue and saturation, levels, and color balance can do some amazing things! Understand the color wheel can help a lot when you need to match colors together and to also always color your lineart! Even if the drawing is quick, it will still look like you spent time on it xDD lol I use a reddish color an set it to linear burn and blends a lot better than setting it to multiply in my opinion// ; P

[DynamoToon]

Here's my booth for my comic Room for Improvement. Btw, I was hungry when I made this so yeah. Happy Tapastic Winter Fest I guess, YAY!

[PotooGryphon]

Ah! So many colorful looking treats!

So I gotta ask before I buy one of those cinnamon buns, Did these guys bake it themselves? What kind of ingredients did they use? Anything strange and weird that comes from their comic world? What treat is each of their favorite? Who are these cute characters and tell us about the comic they come from.

The stove pipe on the fire is super cute.

[DynamoToon]

Well most of it was baked by Stevey Redd since hes secretly into cooking. He always puts his very best ingredients in his dishes, including cinnamon that he made himself. Also he has this super secret ingredient that makes it taste awesome.
As for the strangeness, well every single thing in their world is random and weird. They come from a strange and blank place called the Nothigness where monsters roam freely, objects appear and disappear at random, and things arent always as they seem.
Since they are colors they are able to (for lack of a better term) color their world. As well as make their own stuff. Stephanie Green was in charge of making the booth.

Btw, was i supposed to put other people visiting the booth or a background? The file is transparent cuz i thought it would inserted. Idk

Only if you want to add background people. I'm going to post them in an extra series on the main site/social media along with the extra information and links back to the artist's series. Compiling them together into one scene will be difficult since each booth will probably have its own perspective.

[stephensharpe707]

Had a few spare hours today to whip something up.

Featuring just a tiny handful of the amazing characters from the Tapastic-verse, Plague of Oops, Of course! Helene of Heroes of Thantopolis, The adorable Polyphemus, and then there's my Justice Guardian, Charlie.

[Jrej]

I'm glad we have this chance to join in!
Here the booth of my joyful (except Lev) homeless trio from Shades Of Men !
That's hand-made steel sculptures from the streets of Paris!

[phen]

Holy cow, these are all so fun to look through! I really, really dig the "hobo at work" sign in @Jrej's stand, that is great! And @DynamoToon's Color Pastries, h'ooo, that sounds so good. Where to go to get a hot drink to go with them?!

[PotooGryphon]

Oh! This is awesome! Come back home to see a few more lovely additions. <3

Alright, question time! Because that's what this is turning into. Me asking fun questions based on your art pieces.

@stephensharpe707- Where did Charlie find that giant candy cane? Does he have a really big sweet tooth to go along with that cane? Is there any kind of crazy backstory how he ended up here? Last I remember in the series he was fighting a bunch of look alike robots. Are the rest of the heroes (...or villain OAO) at the Winter fest too? And please tell us about your series. (I know about it, but still ;D) Love all the canoes! Polyphemus' winter outfit is cute and Helene and Plague, AH!

@jrej - lol I love those sculptures and signs. Where does Lev find the wire for his sculptures? How much does he charge for a sculpture? Where did Ricky get the hot dogs from? OAO What songs can David play on the guitar? Is there a crazy backstory on how the trio got to the Winter Fest from their comic series? And tell us more about your series. I love how everything is hand made about their booth.

And as added bonus, here's what I'm working on for you awesome people. At the end of the Tapastic Winter Fest, after all the episodes are posted, all the episodes are going to get collected and released on a new series on the Tapastic Staff account, making it easier for readers to read it all together in one series. I'd like to include these extra illustrations at the end, after the episode finale, and include all of you in on it. Would you guys like that instead of posting it in my own Extra series?

[DynamoToon]

I think it'd be cool! This sounds like a great idea. But I should probably make a background huh?
