A lot of work, yes, BUT I wasn't alone Seeing the project evolving day after day, new sketches posted each day by the other participants : it was REALLY motivating. Everyone were working so hard and were posting awesome sketches, so I had to do my best too ^^

I'm overflowing with emotions.

Don't Open Until Dec 7... HEY! That's today! OuO!

Today's episode is on Joanne Kwan's series Demon House. See what happens when the gift falls into the hands of demons! ~Wooooo~

Are you a fan of fun slice of life series with supernatural elements mixed in? Who isn't? haha Check out the rest of Joanne's series as Tula, a human trying to survive college, must also learn how to live with her new house mates.

@joannekwan If you'd like to share any fun behind the scenes stories about the making of your episode or tell us more about your comic series, please do share!

and finally, translate it to english (with nox.fox and getsu's help! Thanks to them, my weird english has been corrected :p)

It was so awesome doing this together in Google Hangouts! Those were great moments, really, drawing together and all, probably one of my best memories about this project! ^ u ^
Your episode is most certainly one of my very favorite, with so much going on in it!

I love this episode OuO

[suddenlyapples]

OH DUDE THIS IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA!!! looking forward to reading them all ;u;!

[joannekwan]

Oh yes, my experiences... breaks out a cup of tea and sips it looking off into the distance

Well it was a daunting task as I'm sure it was for everyone, juggling their own series and this collab. But it's definitely worth it! I got in touch with the creators before and after my part (@LittleEndian and @anakarenina resp.) fairly early on to get the bare bones of our plots and how we'd work out the gift transitions. That was super helpful.

The best part was squeezing in all the cameos. My favorite ones to draw were Grave and Pill checking out the smoked meats booth, Dion waiting in line at the lost and found booth with Sasha and an impatient Ri, and an outraged Ephelia being pushed aside by Tula barreling through the crowd. xD
It was super fun to draw everyone's characters.

And I applaud everyone who included mine, with special thanks to all who attempted to draw Fawn! I know her design is a bit tough to nail down.

[anakarenina]

@joannekwan It was great working with you! : D I loved the plot of your comic!
And it shows how much love and thought you put into the cameos; that Ephelia was great, one of my fave cameos on your part >v<

[kurisquare]

It's hard to choose a favorite, but I think my favorite cameo here is Ri....

I can just hear xem saying something like "but MOOOOOM!!", I love it x'D

Tapastic Winter Fest 2015 Dec 8 :: Haytham by @anakarenina

Day 8 and the present is still making it's way around the Winter festival!

Today's episode is on Ana Karenina's series Haytham. What will be Annibal's solution to finding the Tapastic mascot and delivering gifts when crowds aren't his thing? Better ask Inna for help. Oh no! Where's Inna!?!

Ana's series Haytham is a wonderfully done comic series with beautiful artwork and an interesting story about the main character Annibal searching to uncover secrets and save the one's he loves. Why not give Ana's series a good read through and subscribe while you're enjoying today's Winter Fest episode.

[anakarenina]

Umm! This is the first time that I work so hard on a collab! haha and it was awesome meeting everyone at the group, they're amazing people, really supportive and tolerant, I'm happy to be in this with you guys!!

About the comic, as Haytham's story takes place in a warm island where never snows, I was really excited to draw Annibal and Inna wearing warm clothing in a winter scenery with snow, I bet they were freezing haha Also, it was going to be larger, but a lack of time made me delete a page. Here are some sketches:

Thanks to @joannekwan and @VeloursRose for being such cool people, I'm lucky to be in between your comics!

[LittleEndian]

Ooh ! A deleted page ?
I wonder what they would say ^^

It's so nice to see Annibal and Inna together after what happened in your main comic... ;_;

[carodoodles]

LMAO yessss! I'm like "that's SO Ri." Poor Ian having to deal with that plus being understaffed. xD

[hades]

I just wanted to say a really really big thanks for all the cameos of my ocs so far. ;w; it means so much to me since I wasn't able to participate in the long run.

Also this has been really lovely so far!

[PotooGryphon]

You're still apart of it, in spirit! XD :hug:

Tapastic Winter Fest 2015 Dec 9 :: Not Quite There by @VeloursRose

Today! It's Day 9 of the Winter Fun!

Today's episode is on Jax Nguyen's series Not Quite There. It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a gift landing right on top of Ant's head. With Chell and Ant on the case of delivering the gift, I'm sure they'll succeed flawlessly. Check out the episode to see how they crack this case!

Not Quite There is a really fun Comedic comic series following Ant as he adjusts to his new life of dealing with ghosts, aliens, and the supernatural. For a good time, check out the rest of Jax's series while enjoying today's Winter Fest episode, and hit that subscribe button.

Maaaaan. This is what I get for 1) failing at updating more comics and 2) not going on these forms more. I wish I could be a part of this >.<

Awesome works guys. Love the story and the co-lab of everyone. It did the trick, found a few new comics that I am following now.

[PotooGryphon]

Weeeeeeeeeelllll....I do have some ideas kicking around on how to add more people and simplify the collab concept.

An event where readers ask Tapastic Santa what they want for Christmas and we divide all the requests up among a big group of volunteer artists and draw their Christmas gifts. It'll be like the artists of Tapastic giving back something special to the readers of Tapastic.

I may experiment with this idea in February with another Kiss-O-Gram event like what Feyuca did this last Feb but with a lot more artists, hopefully.

(Examples of Kiss-O-Grams 2015 that I did)

This seems like a nice idea. I'd be up for that next year!

[VeloursRose]

Haha oh dear, it was really a trip getting this little extra comic done but it was worth it! I'm so greatful to @CyndiFoster and @noxfox for organizing this really awesome collaboration and keeping everyone on task.

The funniest part of working on the winterfest comic was being able to draw some of the characters! Everyone had some really cute characters and I wish I had more time to put in more cameos but school seriously ate up all my time.:')

Also drawing Ant and Chell in ugly christmas sweaters was a plus.

Not much else I got to say except thanks for checking out the Winterfest and I hope people continue to follow it through to the end! Happy Holiday guys!=u=b

Tapastic Winter Fest 2015 Dec 10 :: Isaac at Life by @Thefatzombie

Reaching the double digits now with day 10!

Today's episode is on The Fat Zombie's series Isaac at Life. How will Isaac deliver gift? If you know Isaac he'll do it in the most awkward way he can. haha

If you're a fan of funny situational gags, give the rest of Isaac at Life a read through. You'll laugh at all his socially awkward antics. Just the thing you need to help get you through your day.

Yay! Hats off to @Thefatzombie for the awesome work on this episode! Really impressed that it got done with such short notice. <3
