Anyone know of any Monochrome/Limited Palette Comics, either on tapastic or somewhere else?

Well since I color my comics with pencils they are technically also limited in color. ^^

GameBoyLands uses shades of Green/Yellow (like the original GameBoyColors):

Mine for the most part is monochrome, but then I take all the "colors" and put them under one color. Like so:

Oh yeah, my comic is English Project Shorts. (plug plug plug)

@ComicKitty & @vincentprendick Thank you. I'm abysmal at coloring so I usually stick to black and white, I'm just trying to get some inspiration.
Here is one of my comics, the actual pages will be grayscale, I just need some inspiration on making the covers.

I do my mini-comics in limited color. I've found that even just coloring the lines adds enough visual interest that I'm happy with it.

I'm not big on plain black and white, but I'm currently working on a comic that I plan to do like that... so we'll see how it goes.

Good luck with your comic!

Village of Eternity is pretty much b/w with an exception of a few colors (like maybe water, or blood, ect.)!

I found Robbie and Bobby, Lunarbaboon, and Blue to be pretty good examples of limited palette comics!

Also, I work on a comic, Espresso Inked, with a limited palette. Especially when I started out with only different shades of brown, like the one here.

Since then I tried to include similar colors, and usually don't use bright colors unless I want something to stand out.
...Then again, I'm no color expert, so I'm still figuring all this out!

I draw my manga/comic in monochrome
I draw them on paint tool SAI, but I'm slow at drawing as it is, so putting color in is unfortunately out of the question...unless on special occasions I should I guess~
Oh, my comic is in Tapastic, called "Denesta" btw. (Self-promo yay!)

My comic, Demon King, is drawn in grayscale. I always thought that scheme goes well for the horror genre.

Our webcomic The Castle and the Waves has a limited palette, though the cover is colorful. Right now we only have one page and the cover as I started publishing it earlier today, but I will post a page daily until it's over, the comic is 44 pages long.

Hope you check it out, it's our favorite collaborative effort so far. And the reason we joined Tapastic is because we're developing a spin-off called Sand Castles, which will be an ongoing series.

Daniel by @VermillionWorks is black + white with red accents, and Red Velvet has a b/w/r palette as well.
Ascent seems to have a limited blue palette theme going (it's underwater). All three of those are awesome comics, too!
Hotblood! has what I would consider to be a limited color palette, but it's more along the lines of muted/sepia colors, so ymmv.

My current comic is grey-scale with color used to symbolize magic. There's quite a fe B&W/Greyscale comics out there!

Completely forgot till I saw this topic that I've been using shades of brown for my comic. If your still looking for limited palettes feel free to look at SheepSkin. Its a slice of life light hearted comic that's in strips. So not much reading really.
