New here with a new comic! +Looking for opinions and comic reccs!

[maar0012]

it made me chuckle a little, but still I think you should post a little more of content to show what you,re made off.
for example do what I try to do have the comic strips already draw, or wrote in somewhere in a physical form not just your mind and then when you have enough harvest that motherfucker.
I aready wrote like 4 episodes of my story, whoever is interested can check it out, it´s aout magical stuff and such:

Hey there!!
Welcome to Tapastic !

The tips I would give for starters are:
1) Be consistent on posting (weekly is great)
2) Participate on the forum (you'll get to know new people/creators and find new comics! Learn and share knowledge)
3) HAVE FUN CREATING!

You only have 1 episode but I think those type of simple comics are pretty funny so hope to see more episodes soon !

My own comic is about funny situations of daily things! Feel free to check it if you like !
NuwComics

Keep up and Good luck!!

Thank you! and gotchaaaaa
I'll check it out C:

[JunCtionTea]

Thanks! Glad you liked it
Sure thing!!

Yeah, like with everyone else it's difficult to gauge where you're going with your comic. I'm assuming it's supposed to be a simple comedy strip due to the simple design. Probably one of the better ways to go about with a simple design. I'm interested in seeing where it's going, but there's not a lot of feedback I can give.

If you want though, you can check out my comic! It's called Dreamwalker Felix and is about a grumpy teenage boy who learns he has the uncontrollable ability to enter the dreams of those around him while he sleeps. I'm getting close to the first dream sequence so I'm really looking forward to showing that off!

Also he can see ghosts.

You had me at space llamas.

Like others have mentioned, I don't have any concrete thoughts on your comic yet - I think the forthcoming context of a second page will help.

But one should never pass up an opportunity to hawk one's wares passionately, so, please check out my sci-fi/satire, The Beard about a lazy activist that thinks his beard is trying to communicate with him.

I'd also highly recommend Radiante and the weirdness of Mayim

(wow I just learned about putting a bunch of mentions here instead of putting a bunch of separate, it's like a revolutionary science to me)
@punkarsenic @wander_creature Thanks! Sounds interesting, I'll check those out! X)
@Gaspode12 Wow, good suggestions, thank you so much ^^ I actually have a drawing tablet //wowieee// but it ain't cooperating with me these days, so I'm just furiously clicking with my mouse pfFFT, I'll see what I can do! I love comedy, will see!
@maar0012 Thank you for the advice, of course!
@bynuwbis Awesome, thanks for the tipsssss, and yeah I'll give your comics a go ! C:
@garrenn Thanks for telling me your thoughts =) sounds like an interesting series!
@trinkettrancemusic I'll be moving slowly, but I'll do what I can with the second page, thank you!

[sparky1505]

hey i didnt know you could put numbers in the title lol. Yeah theres not a lot to judge but so far it looks nice, I cant really think of anything to tell you to fix. hmmm about the art tablet, does it work with the program? i guess if you cant even use it as a mouse, then the problem is the tablet itself. maybe uninstall and reinstall the driver? Anyways if youd like to check out my comic, its here Food Coloring ! i hope your tablet works again!! (i know they can be such a pain sometimes!!)

[JunCtionTea]

I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling. It sometimes works afterwards? But it gets really tedious having to do it again and again .___.
Maybe I'll just suck it up? ;0 omg in a world with cooperative tablets and programs, it'd be wonderfuuuuul
Thanks tho! And sure thing!

[sparky1505]

Is it just with the art program or otherwise. also what program are you using? When i had a tablet that wasnt wacom and used it with gimp, it did not work when i tried to connect it in the settings. I would have to disable the tabket but could still use it to move the cursor as if i was drawing on paper. it would work as a mouse, but pressure sensitivity did not. Later when i got a wacom tablet, it did work. So maybe thats happening to you?

[JunCtionTea]

Thanks for letting me know! Haha, oh and I have a wacom tablet and it's just unresponsive sometimes as a whole, and it's occasional unresponsiveness is not limited to any certain program (I've been using just MS paint and SAI recently LOL). There's also times it's kinda wonky when I move the pen to jump somewhere on the tablet, and the cursor doesn't follow immediately, but instead the cursor is just dragged a little in the general direction I moved the pen to. The pressure sensitivity is completely out of whack too when this happens. =__=;;;;
It might be the computer? I have an old computer that I've somehow beaten up pretty badly over the years eeeeep

oh but lol I tried installing this tablet onto an HP laptop before, and it completely screwed over that laptop since it wasn't compatible or something, so that was pretty horribad :')))))

[TheRabbit]

I have read you comic, and the only thing I would say is to be a little careful of the use of colours. The text in your second strip was a little hard to read, since it's bright red text, behind bright red/pink background. Maybe I have more to say when you have more to read.

Anyhow, if you wanna check out my comic, then feel free to do so.

[JunCtionTea]

Ah yeah I realized that too, I saw it on a different screen than the computer I made it in and I was like "holy moly the colors..."
But it was already some time after when I noticed it.
If I realize something early on, such as these colors that are easily changeable, what are your thoughts on deleting and reuploading?
Thanks for letting me know!

[sparky1505]

i believe you can edit the picture and change the images in it in each episode. Also most laptop screens make colors look lighter and less saturated (like hazy) and Ive noticed that on laptops a color may look indigo or purple, whereas on a phone itll look magenta. And blue on computer screens tends to look more purple on phones. so i guess its a blue or red problem idk. Hope this helps. also man that tablet is an enigma, i cant think of any reason that it would do that. I would assume its your computer but its happening to a laptop too? if its wacom and youre installing the right driver from their website then i cant think of what else could be the problem besides the tablet being faulty, sorry. I hope you can get a working one one day.

[TheRabbit]

I don't know. If I was in your situation, and did not know about things like colour (contrast and all that), then I would just let it be. That way, it would be a reminder that I need to think more carefully about the use of colour.

[JunCtionTea]

@sparky1505 throws tablet in the air angrily but lightly and catches it very carefully
Alrighto, well thank you so much for your explanation on colors and screens ahhh !!

@asekanina Gotcha, and I think it'll probably be fun to look at how different I did things when comparing old comics and future ones x)
Thankya!

[Zetsubonii]

Welcome to Tapastic! Your comic reminds me a lot od ASDFMovie on Youtube and it's very refreshing to see xD Anyways, here's some updated tips I've been giving new comers ^^

-During the weekend, the days with the most traffic, post around early morning (9-10AM PST) to early evening (5-6PM PST)
-During the weekdays, the days with the relative traffic, post around early evening (5-6PM PST) as that's when people check Tapastic, after work/school'
-Note that this is mostly affecting the Fresh Page, which not many people go through regularly thus...
-Post consistently, have a schedule and post once or twice a week according to the above, I recommend twice a week to get a better weekly traffic flow
-Don't expect your views to relate to your subs, your subs will grow over time much like your views, but it'll be slower
-It takes around 3 years to get a stable series flowing here, but don't be disheartened and keep at it as things will progress faster than you'll expect smile
-Disregard the last point if you're adding "BL" on your icon (which is Boy's Love, a very popular genre here, for which this part is a joke unless you plan on making that kind of content ^^")
-This is very important: Keep posting on the forums and help people grow as they'll also help you grow both in viewership as well as an artist. It also allows you to reach more potential readers/subscribers as I found that more people check the forums for new comics rather than the Fresh page, where you'll most likely end up in on the main site
-Lastly, the algorithm is still something I'm studying, but so far, if a lot of people comment, like, sub and view your comic, there's a high chance of seeing yourself on the Trending section of the main page, even just for a brief refresh

Anyways, if you like Mysteries, check out my comic, Jim's Days ^^

[Lindsette]

Honestly my advice is to be original and draw from unique experiences. I see a lot of Slice of Life comics drawing from the same hat so to speak. Also try to develop a buffer so that if your week is busy and you don't have time to draw, you have pages on standby.
You're comic is cute and I quite like the style you're going for. I'm a sucker for minimalism.
Anyway, if you're interested, my comic is Fear Full. Good luck!

[JunCtionTea]

@Zetsubonii oh I didn't actually notice the resemblance! and now I see it ahaha xDD
I didn't know about the times, as I'm also EST so alrightyyyy
LOL THE BL, yeahhh gotcha gotcha x))
Yeah I'm having a pretty rad time in the forums, and it's super helpful
and aHH, thank you so much for letting me know about these!!!
And sure thing! Mysteries are real nice ayeee

@Lindsette Yeah there's a lot of them eeep. Most of my ideas are just out of nowhere and I just write em down real fast hhhhhhh
Okok understooood ^^
Thank you and sure thing!!
