No problem! Have a good day
Ooo I love dark stuff! I'll have to go through all of these.
My comic could fit the bill? I've been told by a few that it's pretty chill, but by most that it's a hard read, and I intended it to be kind of difficult. The story is a psychological drama about an awful people with awful issues, trauma and abuse. It's pretty much a character study, if anyone is looking for a story similar to As Good as it Gets, or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. (Just slower, and more torturous)
Current CWs -cracks knuckles-: Abuse, mental illness, discussion of suicide, mild body horror, self-harm, trauma, implications of sexual assault, substance abuse, blood, violence, full-frontal nudity, profanity and queerphobia/slurs.
Future CWs:
Attempted suicide, manipulation, attempted murder, mild gore, hospitals, severe injury and illness, implications and discussion of torture, discussion of sexual assault, discussion of characters being drugged.
Let me know if anyone wants specifics on the mental illnesses, I just did an umbrella thing because there is more than a couple.
Okay read your work and although I was first turned off from the it being pictures taken of the comic rather than uploaded making it seem amateurish. I was sooooo wrong , you put alot of effort in the traditional medium I'm impress how far you went with the medium of paper and coloured pencils. Popup, flip books I can only imagine how long it took. As for the story its melancholiac and feels almost personal. I love it. keep it up
Thank you.
My comic is done in a Sketchbook to keep myself organized. Unfortunately, I have tried and it does not fit in a scanner, so I am trying extra hard to take good pictures in natural lighting, with as little distractions as possible, which is why I'm going back and retaking photos for some pages. It is time consuming, but I do not mind because art is fun, and when you're having fun, you don't notice.
I'm also surprised I got this far. I am nearing my first anniversary on tapas, and had to restart my comic three times. Thankfully, I think I have found something that works for me, and it is something I want to continue for a long time. I'm glad it feels personal to you, and you like the art style.
Take care and thanks a lot for your kind words.
mine a post apocalyptic scifi fantasy where the world is dying and the only hope may be in the hands of ones once made to destroy, there is violence ,and mature subject matter

Warnings:
Sexual abuse
Negative thoughts
Mental abuse

The story would probably get a soft R in movie language: There's dark stuff, but none of it is explicitly shown.
Will try to read some stories posted on here tonight~!
Started reading! I'm about halfway through and your traditional art is so cool looking! The story is very well told and just has this really epic feel to it. Good work!
I started reading your novel! Your story has a very fascinating concept that is brought to life through your writing beautifully! I ended up reading way more in one sitting than I originally intended!
Supernatural, scary, and sad. The tone is PG-13, the themes are very personal. Characters are constantly being shown for their lighter and darker sides.
i am glad you enjoy my workOkay, I've read your comic already, and although I'm more a quiet sub, you did a good job. A really good job. I fell in love with the traditional art and the colours you used. I also enjoy the pages that are just an image to showcase your characters mental state which is also perfect. The art is beautiful in a dirty kind of way. Like I can just stare at it all day in awe.
As for the story, I can tell it must take a while to draw the pages with the time it takes to upload the amount of pages so take care of yourself.
Yes although it is very chilled out. Its chilled out with some Very dark subject matters pouring from every orifices' and I love that. I think a general issue would be its slow..ie several uploads and nothing tooo big would happen. But I personally don't mind that at all, I infact enjoy this slow ride through the lives of broken, awful people.
I would look forward to where ever this goes.
There are few things darker than the empty cosmic void but I've never really put warnings on my story.
I would guess if you are uncomfortable with mental health issues, atheistic themes, stream of consciousness writing, bleak worlds, and zombie gore then I wouldn't recommend my novel.
I would give it a soft R rating to be safe.
Thank you for checking it out, I really appreciate that!
I knoooow, progress has been so slow, and it's been so much worse since 2020. Right now I'm focusing on reediting chapters 1-4 for print, which I'm a little over halfway done with, but regular updates have kinda been on the backburner. (Fun tip: If you ever want to print your work look into sizing and DPI before doing it, I waited until volume 1 was done, then realized I had to rescan and reedit everything because the pages were too small. ;v;) Overall the pace should pick up a little more in a few pages... or at least have more fluctuation.
Thank you so much for reading my comic, and for your perspective on it. I love seeing how people view the comic, they're always a little different. I'm glad you're enjoying the story, the awful characters so far and my drawing style in all it's traditional graininess!
Mine is very new, but it will, over time, become slightly darker than the norm for most webcomics. Unsurprising, given it's a scifi/fantasy/action. Tone wise, think along the lines of Full Metal Alchemist, Gundam, or Cowboy Bebop. The story is mostly adventurous, and it's not without humour, romance and heartwarming moments, but nor will it shy away from some of the horrible things corrupt and evil powers will do to those under their heel.
I read the comic! The things you do with lighting are lovely and I am curious as to where the story goes!
