Tapastic Winter Fest 2015 Dec 2 :: End. by @talissacosta1

It's a new day which means a new holiday collab comic over on Talissa's series, End.

Check out her beautiful episode and see if you can spot all the cameos and hidden Tapastic Mascots. There are so many great hidden Easter Eggs in her episode. Also while you're visiting her series, why not give the rest of her comic a good read and show her some love. <3

@talissacosta1 if you'd like to share any behind the scenes info on your creation process for this episode, please do share. Maybe you can tell us how you animated and added the animated gif in your episode?

Oh! Also we have a hashtag for the event on Twitter if you'd like to follow and tweet along. #TapWinterFest2015

!! Thanks @CyndiFoster !

Some behind the scenes =o Lemme see...

-I tried to work from just one camera position so I wouldn't need to draw the background several times. BUT I tried to make the background the best I could, so it wouldn't go to a waste o-o ;

-I drew the main characters in a sort of storyboard/keyframe style o-õ ;

-Gif was made in photoshop... Youcan use the timeline window... I drew one face and moved it a bit for like... 3 different frames? I dunno how many FPS it has xD Photoshop animation is confusing o-o ;

-There are cameos from... 24 different comics? But I drew more than 1 character for some of those, so it is more than 24 cameos... And I just made this count O_O Wow.... ;

-There is a character from Tyree, even tho @hades wasn't able to stick to the collab =/ Damn tendinitis T_T ;

-Look at the Lost and Found booth on the right, you may recognize some (if not all) of those items;

-The guy in the far left booth, with the crystal ball, closes his eyes in some panels (or just one panel?);

Hope that's enough and... Cool xD I got excited! Thanks all for reading, and wait for a bunch of awesome and beautiful comics to soon!

Oh my god this is such a cute idea :') gonna go read it ASAP

[AnnaLandin]

Awww, this is so much fun! I'm glad to see people getting into it - a LOT of effort's gone into this, and everyone's episodes looks so cute. <3

[getsuart]

Awesome second episode. The background is really wonderful

[sirdanielthereader]

I LOVE WINTERFEST!! This is AWESOME!! GREATEST HOLIDAY THING EVER!!

[zelkats]

Wooot! So glad people are enjoying this and looking forward to more!

Vincent and Isis were absolutely fun to draw (I might have gotten carried away with drawing Vincent lol), and so were the other cameos! I wish I could have drawn as many as possible DX

I tried to make the background of my very last panel similar to @talissacosta1's background by drawing @noxfox and @AnnaLandin's booths side by side for the sake of continuity.... And I realised that Anna's booth basically teleported since it was next to the books booth in the very top panel of the entire comic. Your booth is magic, Anna XD

I think I had fun drawing Jerry the horse more than my main characters. I hardly draw animal characters and it was much easier to make Jerry expressive. I chanted "gangsta horse, gangsta horse, gangsta horse" in my mind when I was drawing him picking up the sweet potato from the snow.

It was challenging but totally worth it. Once again I'm gonna thank my sister @konori for assisting me TwT

Keep coming back for more Tapastic Winter Fest, people. December is faaaar from over >:D

[jacintawibowo]

Congrats on wrapping up all the hard work guys! =D Can't wait to see this unfold.

[AnnaLandin]

.... And I realised that Anna's booth basically teleported since it was next to the books booth in the very top panel of the entire comic. Your booth is magic, Anna XD

Everybody's booth is magic! I've got @getsuart's booth across from @noxfox's booth in mine, even though that's totally not what's going on in @talissacosta1's strip. XD

[ErithEl]

This was such a cool idea! I can't believe how much work you all must have put into it.

I've loved the first two episodes - catching glimpses of familiar characters in the backgrounds!
I'm excited to see everyone else's comic coming over the next couple weeks!

[elixiadragmire]

Everybody's booth is magic! I've got @getsuart's booth across from @noxfox's booth in mine,

they're side by side in mine!!!! nox's on the right, Getsu's on the left

[getsuart]

Man, huge spoilers in this topic!

I think I got @anakarenina's booth in front of @AnnaLandin's booth. Magic booths are fantastic <3

Tapastic Winter Fest 2015 Dec 3 :: Doodle For Food by @doodleforfood

A new December day! Let's break open another new advent comic episode for Tapastic Winter Fest!

Today's episode is over on "Nutmeg" Megan Mckay's series Doodle For Food! Read the continuing story of the little gift that could and check out the rest of Megan's hilarious gag a day comic strips.

@doodleforfood If you'd like to share any fun behind the scenes stories about the making of your episode, your process for writing/coming up with gags, or how you adapted the cameo characters into your unique style, please do share!

[anakarenina]

It's such a great feeling to see the episodes being finally shared after all the work we've put into them!!! I'm enjoying this event so much! n.n

@getsuart yay for magic booths! haha I drew your booth next to AnnaLandin's, NoxFox's booth doesn't have a clear position on mine, but I got to drew those lovely decorations >v< I think I drew all of the booths, they're all such lovely booths!

[doodleforfood]

O hai!

For the gist of the comic I got the phrase "carpe diem" stuck in my head. Carpe diem meaning "seize the day" and basically living in the present. But it also works because this is an actual present and he's stealing (seizing) it. I really like trying to give my puns multiple layers of meanings so that people can read something different from the comic each time they see it.

I'm terrible with backgrounds and continuity, so I didn't bother unless it was absolutely necessary for the comic.

I don't usually get the chance to draw other people's characters, but when I do I always have a fun time. I really enjoy finding the essence of someone's character and just MASHING it together with my style haha. Thank you @talissacosta1 and @carodoodles for allowing me to draw your adorable characters! ; u ;

I hope you all continue to follow the events as they unWRAP in this collab.

"carpe diem" stuck in my head. Carpe diem meaning "seize the day"

I love that phrase so much! :love for your episode intensifies!:

That's amazing pun layering. I didn't even catch that the first time reading. And now I have the melody sheep song stuck in my head.

[doodleforfood]

awwww this is the best!
