Looking for adult comic authors and readers

[Jrej]

That's the least I could do.
You already plugged it with the custom PJ anyway!

I'm currently revising my personal site but I do have a leaderboard banner I can provide if you'd like. It's easiest for me to email it, since images no longer work on the Tapastic forums and it's not a priority for them to fix it.

I like the idea of Fan Art Friday; I've always liked art exchanges and in that way exposing people to different art styles and artists!

[infectedbloodcomics]

Thanks a lot, Jrej! I'll start uploading banners to my own website, too. My current banner is below:

And the link you should point to is this: https://infectedbloodcomics.com/category/comics/the-green-eyed-sniper-a-short-story/?order=asc

@hushicho : you can email me your banner at infectedbloodcomics@gmail.com

Can we first focus on uploading everyone's banner on our websites, if possible, and report back here? We can then discuss other options, like Friday Art I'm not trying to be pushy, just doing my best to get the discussion going without getting lost! Also, if you can't upload banners or do anything and everything we are discussing, that's okay. Nobody is forced to do anything! Just try your best to help everyone out

@Jrej @aronthemason I added your banners to my website: they're on the right-hand side of each page under Other comics to check out

Everyone else: please, chime in, I'd love to get your banners up on my website, if possible Make sure to provide a link to your comic/s * goes back to reading everyone's comics *

Awesome thank you. if you sort out a picture i can use i will make a poster or piece of clothing for my comic (i make them in 3d first)

[infectedbloodcomics]

No problem! Can you use the banner I posted above (all or in part, as you prefer)?

[mariusthered]

ok will do. will let you know when i use it on a page, but it might be a few weeks now depending what i can use it.

[infectedbloodcomics]

Sounds great, thanks!

I'm on vacation right now until January 7. Can I PM you around that time regarding all this?

[infectedbloodcomics]

Absolutely, yes! Happy vacation!

[whirlwyndstorm]

Right now I'm trying to figure out where I can put banners -- I'm teeerrible at coding (one of the reasons why LU's "main" site is here) but I do have a collective site on Wordpress that's more customizable.

[infectedbloodcomics]

Hi! I also have WordPress - the business version. Do you need any help setting up our banners?

[Luminosophy]

Entirely. My artworks have a very bright cartoon aesthetic (when coloured at least) but I my writer and I much, much prefer mature themes. You know, things like politics, philosophy, economics, heavy focus on character inter-relationships and such. I know most stories seem to have these, or at least try to, but they're never really handled in a mature manner. It's more like a teenager's perspective of how things work, which just isn't my jam.

However I've only made one comic to speak of thus far and contains no such themes. I'll be sure to come back and check out everyone's comics here when I have time!

Very well said. I found countless comics like this, and it's slap not my jam. Let us know when you're ready to join us and enjoy our comics, in the meantime 🖒

[infectedbloodcomics]

Oh, folks, I'd like to get this going a bit more! So far, some of us have uploaded banner's on each other's websites and some are working on it. Of course, feel free to add more banners and let us know about it

I know a couple of us is interested in making fanart. @hushicho, for example, is very excited about it. Any other takers? I'm currently working on something for Jrej (although it will take me some time), for example.

[mariusthered]

i have also come up with another idea that i might do a thread about. as I have teens in my comic i thought it might be good to have them read comics from time to time, so if i got front covers from taptasic comics...... others could also do this and have people read comics that advertise fellow comics!

[whirlwyndstorm]

I'm mainly fighting with how they would lay out on the site. So far I've figured out how to put a list of links off to the side but the banners would be too big to fit in that widget.

[whirlwyndstorm]

I'm up for fanart! Or fan animations if I have the time =D

[infectedbloodcomics]

Do you have the business edition of WP? If so, Customer service is handy and pretty good. The problem is that the themes are rather rigid and it can be hard to use them to your advantage. I used to have the Panel theme, which is specifically for comics, but it's good only if you have a single comic! Meh.

[infectedbloodcomics]

I like this idea, although it won't work for my current comic - I already finished drawing it, it will end in a month. I'll think about something similar for my new title, but I'm not sure I can really fit it in I'll have to think about it.
