Anime, animation vids, etc,. inspired me to make comics. That and wanting to tell a story as a way to get my creative flow going
I was inspired to make my own comics since really young age... it all started when I was watching Naruto/Bleach/Cardcaptor Sakura at young age (around 6-7 years old) I was like: woah it's so beautiful! I love animes! (I then became a huge weeb/geek in the following years) I'm now 21 and I still do love making art/fanarts and not so long ago I started to publish my comics/manga/webtoon on deviantart and then I discovered Webtoon 2 years ago and Tapas last year! I'm really happy to publish my comics where it reachs more readers because my main dream is: Make the readers happy about what I draw/make comics of ^^
I’ve always wanted to draw and have been a longtime fan of animation and comics of all kinds. During lockdown I started reading all of Blue Chair by Shen on Webtoon. Seeing him grow as an artist from basically nothing really inspired me. I realized this was something I could do and get good at as long as I put in the time. That was 6 months ago and I’ve gone from crappy stick figures to publishing a weekly full color webcomic. I’m still learning and I’m by no means the greatest artist of all time or anything. I’m still really proud of how far I’ve come though and I’m looking forward to seeing where this takes me.
When I was a teenager I told myself I would make a comic before age 30. I'm 32 now but I'm stil fulfilling that little girl's wish,. I must finish my comic series to at least chapter 3 and then I will be happy.
What inspired me to make comics is Sailor Moon and DBZ when I was a little kid. IT aired on regular TV early in the morning.
I like reading stories, but most of all I like looking at the pictures. Every time I read a storybook, I would always look at the pictures because they were so cute or cool. It turned out that pictures can tell a story. Inevitably, I like watching cartoons and anime, and reading several comic books and manga. I enjoy comedy--dark and otherwise, as well as cute illustrations.
same here dude!
ever since i was a kid ive been a big fan of batman. and i love jim lees artworks in the comics
next. came superman, xmen, spideman , avengers etc...
and i got hooked on anime and manga so that drove me more into making a comic myslef
DC,Marvel, Image comics of the 1970-2000, more specifically the works of Jack Kirby, John Buscema, Ernie Chan, Alfredo Alcala, Gil Kane, John Byrne to name a few of the Golden Era, and more recently Jim Lee, J. Scott Campbell, Frank Cho, Ed Guinness, and a few others.
Reading Asimov, Tolkien, Howard, Clarke, Michener to name a few inspired me as a writer.
I think I always sort of wanted to make comics. I tried a few times when i was 12-13, thought it was to hard, and stopped. At 14-15 I started reading more webcomics and had several ideas for really long-form comics that I wanted to do, but I lacked the focues to write and draw something that long and complicated. At 16 I started making a fancomic very casually, but ended up actually finishing it! It took three or four years, and immediately after I started working on my current original webcomic!
I wanted to poke fun at this guy I really liked...one thing lead to another and before I knew it I had 70 pages of slice of life romantic comedy XD
I'm so long winded when I post here and I'm sorry in advance for this wall of text... Here we go!
I've always been a voracious comic reader. My dad introduced me to Marvel comics when I was around four years old, so I really don't remember a time before comics! They've always been a medium I've loved to engage with as a reader. Later I got super into graphic novels and manga as well and once webcomics moved to more long-form storytelling rather than gag-a-days or four panel strips, they super caught my attention. I think I read more comics now than I ever have and it's super inspiring to see just how inclusive, diverse, and accessible comics as a medium have become both for readers and creators. I truly think that the medium of comics is thriving like never before. Webtoons and Tapas are totally viable means of publishing comics these days and I think that is just plain awesome.
All that said, I'm yet another "always wanted to draw comics" person. I was enthralled by Jim Lee, Joe Mad, and Alan Davis as a kid (and still am--I have a sketch commission from Alan Davis framed on my wall). When I was a kid, I had this assumption that only boys were allowed to draw the kind of comics I liked to read, which was a gigantic bummer to me. Of course, that perception changed when I moved away from just reading Marvel comics, though it still seemed like it was a near impossible feat for a woman to break into mainstream comics as an artist back then. Then I started reading manga and I fell for it so hard. Unlike the comics I was used to reading, in manga there were women drawing comics for girls (which in itself was awesome because HECK YEAH GIRLS EXIST AND WILL TOTALLY READ COMICS IF THE STORIES ARE ONES THEY ACTUALLY RESONATE WITH AND WANT TO READ), women drawing comics for boys, women drawing comics, WOMEN DRAWING COMICS. It was so neat and so inspiring. I devoured manga by Rumiko Takahashi, CLAMP, Katsura Hoshino, Kaoru Mori, Kentaro Miura, Takehiko Inoue, Nobuhiro Watsuki, and more. After that as I continued reading comics, I noticed more and more women entering print comics as artists and writers. And then webcomics came along and woooooo! The possibilities were endless!
As for my creator journey: I made tons of comic strips in elementary and middle school. My sister and I made a children's book in high school for a class and I drew a fancomic in my spare time. After I graduated high school, my sister and I illustrated a children's book that my mom self-published and I made my first attempt to draw pages for my current comic (that were all reworked and redrawn because my first attempts at anything are always sooooo baaaaad lol). I've been to tons of comic conventions, talked to so many creators, attended so many "how to make comics" panels, befriended some incredibly lovely people who self-published comics and have a huge wealth of experience they've been willing to share, and have been blessed with a group of close friends who are comic creators and artists and writers themselves and are huge sources of inspiration. I've also been playing DnD since 3.5 was the newest available edition and that has been a significant source of inspiration for me over the years.
Comics have always been a huge huge huge part of my life and I hope to keep reading them, being inspired by them, and drawing them for the rest of my life. ^^
Nothing in particular. Ever since I was a kid, there was something about making comics that just interested me. I don't even know what initially sparked that interest. It was just always there 
yea, gay stories <3
Now that was a great story. Thank you for sharing. I hope you continue to thrive in making comics. I wish you the best of luck. 
Ever since I was young, I loved to draw. I had this dream that one day I'd share my own ideas to others (either through novels or comics) ^^ I've always been awed and inspired by animation and comics, so it's not really a surprise that what inspired me to make comics of my own was my love for them and my respect and love for all the creators and their works that got me through a dark year last year and continue to get me through my recovery and the dark times we're all facing now. I thought "If creators have made me happy by their works and helped me through the darkest times of my life, I wonder if I can at least make one person's day by doing the same." There's also a lot of people in my life that helped me through my trials and tribulations with so much love and support and it made me want to give some love and support to others to repay their kindness. So, in a way, me making works is a tribute to all the wonderful people in my life, as well as all the wonderful creators and readers. I love making comics just to make comics, but it's even more worthwhile when I know that I've made someone's day or helped them smile a bit ^^ I can't stress enough how much you all make a difference in other's lives, thank you all, you're all doing wonderful work, and much love to everyone! 
Even though i redid some of my comics a lot of times till i became satisfied with them XD, when i first started posting on webtoons and tapas about 3 years ago i had three objectives to make comics.
To have fun and because i enjoyed writing stories in my spare time since i was a kid so i figured "Why not make it a comic and share it with the world?"
When i first started posting on webtoons and tapas there wasn't a lot of black male protagonist representation when it came to romance or harem stories so i wanted to change that. (That's why most of my comics have a black male character.)
I wanted to make stories that would give people a good laugh or brighten their day in someway.
