Hmm... If I have to trust my ID card, it seems... Indeed, it seems that I'm older than twenty-five 
I'm self-employed as a day job, changing career after a few years in another one, and I've been writing--and role-playing--since... Uh... For years, do not count after so much time
I started at a very young age
May you all have success and happiness in your life!
Hello, I have a horror comic that I draw in a traditional style and is about vampires, blood, and revenge. I have always been fascinated by the horror genre and history, and with my series, I have found a way to blend those two interests together.

This is an awesome thread ! I’m 30 years old and I’ve been drawing for 20+ years and creating characters for 19 years! It’s still my dream to become a Manga Artist and writer so right now I’m working on publishing my novel Captain Kagayaki which I wrote three years ago and started revamping it last year and this year! and soon to work on my manga 
🏽
My novel Captain Kagayaki: https://m.tapas.io/series/Captain-Kagayaki/info1
33, and doing my best to balance this with ever increasing job responsibilities… I miss the days when writing was a way to procrastinate on finishing a term paper!
I’m new to Tapas and still figuring out how to get eyes on my writing. But the forums seem really helpful!
just turned 26 actually! i'm not super active in the webcomics scene but i have been trying to get more freelance work and art comms (with...far more difficulty than i'd like but hey life)
pretty sure i've been drawing since i could hold a crayon but didn't start taking it seriously until around highschool and really putting myself out there in 2014 when i first joined tapas(tic). it's still a journey and luckily (hopefully) i can continue to learn grow and experiment as i keep doing this art stuff 
my work is here:
I'm quite nearly 36 (just give me a month and I'll cash in those extra experience points) and I started my comic because this is the exact kind of story that I wished I had growing up. It's a love letter to my wife, a gift to my children, and an opportunity push myself out of my comfort zone so I can one day become the artist that I always wanted to be.
It's also been a wonderful experience creating alongside all of you. Starting a comic has been extremely nerve-wracking at times, but it's been a wonderful experience to work on my craft (while also working on my own issues of self-esteem and self-worth). I really dig this community and the support of everyone whose helped me thus far. I hope I can give more of those positive vibes back someday.
I turned 30 this year, coincidentally the same year I decided to start up a comic again, I had had one before back when Smackjeeves was still alive (god rest its soul) and have been sort of missing the kind of nice comics making community that site had!
Here’s my comic!
Okay, that's amazing. You have a new subscriber, and you might get a second if my husband likes it as much as I think he might.
I'm 31.
I graduated at the tail end of the recession so I never got a real job and just sort of found myself slipping into freelance. I started making my first webcomic around 2015 and did that for a while. My big ones wrapped up last year. Since then I've been turning to writing, because drawing takes so damn long. I realize my time is short so I have to prioritize which stories to tell and I'm currently prioritizing writing in general, since I can finish a novel faster than a comic.
Anyway, all of my work can be found here. Most everything is completed except for my most recent on-going comic (that's wrapping up atm).
and my current novel which is a sequel to my first, Secunda.
Sup! I'm 26, and I've been revising my concepts since I was 11. Recently I've decided to do a final reboot of all my ideas in succession, each as another episode. I've been drawing from a very young age, and mostly just wrote scripts to go with my comics. But the comics ended up being really time-consuming, while my scripts turned out awesome. So I ended up writing novels, instead, with experimental formats.
My current series is Ghost Reaper, and it's four books in. Eventually, I'll make the switch from written to visual again, just not for a while.
29 over here. I have a typical busy assistant job and too much formal education. I finished my main story maybe four years ago and recently decided to put it out there. I tried to get a book agent at one time, but at the end of the day I just want to relax, write, binge read, and not stress over it.
26, turning 27 here! I'm an illustrator/animator who works with "institutional" stuff as a job and comics/commission on the side. I draw since I can remember and it ended up being my career and hobby.
And I have this little passion project, a Fantasy /BL webcomic that I'm trying to put on a steady schedule posting twice a month
Good thread. You folks are patting yourselves on the backs for being 'older,' well, I hope you don't pull something. I'm 67, and I wrote my first short story when I was in the third grade. Not to brag, just to say it's been an interest for many years. Some of my current works were begun decades ago. Life has a habit of getting in the way. I used to draw when I was young, but I lost the knack. Have concentrated on writing projects, music, and photography. I have recently completed my second novel. (Yay!)
Awesome idea! I envy those young creators who've already come so far in their journey as artists, and writers. But you can start anytime, and it's so important not to forget that!
I'm a 33 yr old artist/writer/copywriter. I didn't publish my first book until I was 31, and by the end of this year I'll have published 10 books, some novellas, some novels. It's been a wild ride!
Here's my serialized novel. 
That's a pretty neat story. I guess the pandemic is both a blessing and a curse for artists.
I'm currently 28, about to turn 29 this month. I've been drawing since I was in kindergarten. I usually doodle little pictures in my school journal. I've always wanted to get my stuff noticed by some major publisher or animation company, but that is still a pipe dream. I've had my drawing gears in drive for a while, before the lockdowns and I don't really see myself stopping anytime soon. I've got stuff on deviantart which I've met a lot of good people on there that have the same ambitions as me.
So here is the main series which I have been working on since 2019.
