Do you have an unconventional webcomic that either mashes up genres or elevates or challenges an existing one? Or maybe you just don't quite fit and defy expectations. Whether it's the story or the art, show us something DIFFERENT. Please post it here.
My own comic mixes fantasy, supernatural, BL and drama--and the style is definitely not typical of what is usually found on Tapas or Webtoons. I'm looking for fellow travelers walking their own road.
I put aliens in a WW2 setting. That was the only original idea i could think of. I guess i'm also trying to bring comedy into the f***ed up side of war and sci-fi.
I ain't at all there yet but i'm still working at it.
I guess at least the themes are kinda original: Girls love drama set in space and the main villain will be like a cyborg vampire.
My main character is an inanimate rock and a Mary Sue
I think you win in unconventional...ism.
I guess you could say my works are unconventional because in my main webcomic, Hyde is actually GOOD.
and in my secondary webcomic, it is a pet comic, but the pet is a kakapo parrot.
It was like you said Oddly Vanilla into a mirror three times and compelled me to put our groups comic in this thread...
Opinions may vary, but we got short story arcs that are the poster children for unconventional...
Our comic, hue are you, is not a typical post apocalyptic comic- for one the humans are all dead. Go take a peek!
I should have put really, really, really unconventional!
does post-technology high fantasy count? as in not urban fantasy since its not in our world, its a high fantasy universe that went through a tech/industrial boom. its about a crew of vampires going on an adventure to find a wish granting spire. also theres robots and at least one bird man that try to kill them on occasion.
It would not have counted, but then you threw in the bird man...
I definitely got an unconventional webcomic. Detox is a satirical Cyberpunk comic with Hispanic culture thrown into the mix. Most dystopians are dark and gritty. Ours got pop neon lights and dark humor.
I'd like to think mine is unconventional for tapas (art wise at least)? I like crude body horror, really stupid/crude humor and gross-out Ren and Stimpy-esque close ups. In terms of writing LMAO, oh crap? I'm not gonna be getting a Pulitzer prize any time soon.
Mine is unconventional in style...I'm experimenting and having fun but it's definitely niche. Not an awful lot there yet but this is Part 1 (first 4 eps) and I'm really interested if anyone would like to offer any constructive criticism. Ghost in the Window
My comic's about a sentient lamp and her roommate troubles, is that unconventional enough?
I love Lamp! So original - I'm hooked.
Wow, I really like your art style - it's rare to see similar and gives off a nice almost autobiographical /memoir vibe. (My main critique would be it's a bit hard to read some of your text - making sure to have plenty of contrast between the text and the background and giving the speech bubbles more breathing room going forward will help improve legibility)
Thank you so much. I will re-do the text - that's very helpful!
Just finished my first issue and posted about a week ago. The story's called The Lone Shark and it's by far the most ambitiously obscure idea I've ever come up with. The idea literally came to me in a dream and I've spent the last few years developing and over developing the concept. I hope you enjoy it. More to come soon!
