What do people like about your comic?

[thomasfallaeriksen]

To be honest, I have no idea.

[WakaXO]

For Neon Rabbit people have pointed out they like the characters expressions, art style and the humor, which are things I put a lot of effort into so I'm very happy that they are getting across. 😆

[ypirouz]

For Torus Link, people have so far complimented my story's artwork, saying the messy-colorful style is quite nice... the character Hazel for how she's easy to relate to, and the story's setup of two worlds side by side being intriguing.

My hope is that they fall in love with some of the other characters too, as the story gets deeper.

For my comic, people say they could empathize with the lost moments my characters feel. They also seem to like when I make a comic about butts. Weirdos haha

[mac]

hmm,,, no comments on my new comic yet, but considering im a people ill go ahead and answer this :3c

the art style is nice and it really matches what im trying to go for i think (unbridled, loose, fake edgy)
and the series is pretty cathartic for me in general :3c

comic in question ;3c

[Greg_Dickson]

For Don't Be A Hero, I've gotten the most compliments about:

• My Characters: I've only really showcased my main character and a villain so far, but my readers seems to love Gemini and Johnny, in terms of character designs, expressions, dialogue and personality. I think my characters may be my strongest suit.

• My Progressing Art Style: I've gotten a lot of compliments lately about how far my art has come in such a short time span. I started my comic in a black and white style in May, and about a month or so in, I stuck to full colour at my 8th update or so. With each page, I've been trying to progress my art and learn new things, and my latest page feels light years above my first one, or so many are saying. It feels nice to hear, since I used to never be confident in my art. I mean, I knew I could draw, but until recently, I was never satisfied with what I created. So hearing these things is highly motivating.

• My Humour: I've seemed to get quite a few smiles out of people, with my dialogue and expressions. I'm really not that serious of a person, so my quirkiness tends to show through my work every now and then.

• My Action Scene: I've only created one action scene so far, but luckily readers have been enjoying the flow to it, and seem to be on the edge of their seats with each page. Plus, the addition of glowy effects has really stylized this scene for me.

[StrangeVision]

Something about your style reminds me of those safety instruction pamphlets on airplanes...infused with manga. It's neat!

• The concept - "game companies as people" parodying the industry
• How it feels like a fresh new concept among many other "gaming comics"
• Learning game history and fun facts, especially more obscure/unknown stuff
• The jokes

Though what I don't seem to get a lot of comments on is... the characters themselves? People seem to like them as representations and the way I make them "represent" the company even through personality, but the characters as... characters in themselves, if that makes sense? That's something I care quite a bit about (characters are usually one of my biggest focuses in my series)... Guess I'll just have to make more comics with the characters just... being characters, interacting, maybe stories not based on anything and just "original" stories.

Feedback has been minimal for HOTWAB, but the one I remember most is someone commented that my comic gets on with pushing the story along primarily and isn't falling in to regurgitated webcomic tropes. What I hope people like is the art, regardless of whether they like the superhero theme :/

[Kamikaze]

Positive feedback for Kamikaze has been amazing, especially here on Tapastic!

Readers love
- The visuals and the world building. We get a lot of compliments on how we build out backgrounds, do our lighting, and incorporate dynamic paneling for action scenes. Our readers especially love the character expressions too.
- The characters. Our lovely readers are always posting about how they enjoy the characters, especially our lead Markesha and her two supporting guys Toshi and Orson. We've been LOL-but-no-seriously told that if we do ANTYHING to Markesha's dad Toshi the team will have hell to pay.
- The story/writing. This is one of the things that makes me beam, because it's something I work especially hard on. They love the way we "show don't tell," expand on the world building in our description area, and how we use staging and visuals to express something without a character needing to say it.

On the flipside of all this, our readers think our work is funny, which...I never really intended? Like yeah, we have funny moments but it's not something I mean to do. For example, there's a scene I wrote where Markesha and her dad have an unwelcome visitor and they're all talking through the door. I meant this scene to be really tense and foreboding, but when it came to the live read, and then the final product it had people really laughing! I was kind of frustrated with that, but I guess I'll have to toss that up to a happy accident.

One problem I do find myself running up against is that I'm trying to make the antagonists seem real, and not just super evil for the sake of being evil or whatever. We have concerns that we're making the antagonists TOO relatable, and therefore not a threat. Not quite sure how to fix that and retain the 'shades of grey' aspect to the storytelling. Any tips on that would be helpful if y'all got em!

[Potoh]

They like my art and - a little surprisingly - my main charatcer Roghan. Since he's a little spoiled brat I kinda expected people to find him annoying. Luckily I was wrong on that, because I love him and he's fun to write.

[Marton]

People make jokes in my comment section, so I guess they find it funny despite my comic involving lot's of death.

[Emma]

People seem to like the art? I don't know, I haven't gotten that much feedback yet.

[KSlinger]

Colour is a major winner according to most of the comments on West which I find both confusing and wonderful because I really have no idea what I'm doing!

Dialogue and banter also get a lot of feedback. Readers find the funny parts funny, the sad parts sad, and seem to pick up on the personalities at play without a problem which means a great deal to me as I frequently agonize over the right wording to use. It's hard to know when you're revealing too much or too little but so far no one seems have been confused.

Character design is also a hit which means a lot to me. Sometimes I wonder if they outfits/enemies are overly simplified (I don't have the time to produce complicated outfits again and again, and it's not really my style) but so long as people can distinguish characters without a problem from dialogue and general demeanor that's all I really want. The late introduction of demons was also well received, lots of nice words on the designs there which was a relief.

I get a lot of comments like 'whoa' and 'omg!' and 'badass!' and 'cool!' which gives me the impression that people are generally excited about what's taking place, so that's a load off my mind. Sometimes I worry that the comic is a bit of an emotional roller coaster and I'm asking for trouble playing with people's expectations. I mean, it's really big ask to offer so little in the way of explanation but demand so much feeling at the same time. Like this chapter is going on forever, why should they continue to care? But they do seem to care and share in my excitement, and I'm really touched by that.

Honestly, I've had a really good run with readers so far. They're incredibly generous with their feedback and patience. I've had no negative feedback that I know of. I'm very privileged.

[candaceandco]

So far, I've been complimented on the humor in my cartoon.
I put a lot of time into my drawing, but I do think that the writing is just slightly more important. I'm more interested in an engaging cartoon that isn't drawn great than I am in a beautiful work that otherwise fails to impress me. But the artwork is a vital piece, too!

[jinxedcomic]

On my comic Jinxed, which is a high fantasy series, readers keep commenting on how it reminds them of WoW. Which is odd, since I've never played it.
As for Spiritus Maximus (which is a horror-fantasy that just started last month) I've gotten the comments "interesting" and "like the cartoon-y artwork." Between the two comics, there are only four people who comment, kinda wish there were more who commented. I like interacting with readers.

[blackopsracing321]

From what I've seen the things a lot of people seem to like about my series Abducted are the character designs and the switch from grayscale to full color.

[Tanimation]

A majority of responses I've gotten for Ben's Life is about the coloring. McBarker 2 is the most common one people point out.

[Iaikaa]

I mostly get the same compliment for Star Whisperer that I usually get for my art in general mostly when someone stumbles across my work for the first time; the art style seems to be cool and unique when people end up commenting on it. I have put a lot of effort in developing my style to work for the kind of thing I want to create so I guess I'm at least hitting some of my goals.

[spooktacularprize]

For Between Hay and Grass

Uh, compliments on art style and color palette
Interactions between the characters
A lot of people like the main character ;u;
A couple of people have mentioned it reminds them of Gravity Falls... x'D
