What's the point of drawing comics if no one reads 'em?.. (Promote Yourself!)

Does anyone want to read a comic about a stuffed animal mafia that steals underwear?
If so, check it out here!

Although TSAU is more of a "test project" so I can try out comics and this vertical-scrolling format, I put a lot of work on it and I hope that more people will read it! Right now it sits at 22 subscribers on Tapas and at 28 subs on WT, so I think I'm doing pretty decently.

It's on hiatus though.

I just started this comic yesterday.

I've been working for years on trying to to multiple manga/comics.Trying to rotate around which takes time but I also upload extra stuff. This year is a bad year, I injured my drawing arm in January and have been stuck trying to recover which will still take a long time. I've been using my other hand to draw but injured the shoulder a few weeks ago so recovering from that also. I upload mostly to my extra stuff since it's taking so long for me to draw pages.I hope to do more once recovered but for now I hope people will check my content.

I have currently 43 comics + extra (trying to upload sheets and world building separately). Feel free to take a look, you might find something you like

Hi! It's nice to see another black and white comic
After 2 years of planning, I've been drawing my comic for almost 3 years now >w<

earlier this day some friendly artist talked about the sense of uploading if noone is reading it xD
some only draw for theirselves, doesn't matter if anyone will ever read it. Others also draw for theirselves, but they don't see the point of uploading it, if they don't get any benefit out of it.
In the end, everyone likes readers and comments, they give so much motivation!

Here is my comic:

I love my small handful of subs, even (read: especially) the odd ducks, but I'd probably update even without them at this point. At this point my story is just therapeutic. Like, It's nice to make something that's only ever been just in my head into something tangible. It won't be good - I'm much too inexperienced for that - but the point is I'm doing it. Subs are a bonus at this point.

Definitely seeing people read your own comic is an incredible pleasure! Mine is a super hero comic with a bit of biological / neurocognitive mystery and political drama sewn in:

I absolutely love drawing and have been doing it since I was a child. I used to draw on every surface and any free space I could find. This meant my parents had to read newspapers and magazines that were always filled with my doodles. I even filled an entire room from floor to ceiling with my pictures when my mom said I could do it. She didn't think I would! I can still remember her face when she walked into the bedroom and saw that one of the pristine white walls was decorated with bunnies fighting bears. Then I drew a hideous monster right next to my bed and couldn't sleep because it was watching me. Mom was like lol, suffer you little shit! She took a suspiciously long time to paint the walls.

Other thing that I do to this day is refer to ballpoint pens as "adult pens"/ "pens for adults". I was never allowed to use them as a child because of my intense doodling habit, so to me they were pens that only adults used. Hence the name. Now that I'm a grown-up it often confuses people when I use the term!

Anyway, enough about that. My comic is about a angel-human hybrid girl that becomes an Exorcist and goes on demon slaying adventures.

Woaahhhhh!!! You are a total inspiration to me!!! I hope your arm gets well soon!!!

Trixie 2019-11-08 23:25:30 UTC #20

All the marks of a true artist! All the work you did as a kid, drawing on anything and everything really payed off! Your art is amazing!!!

My comic is not worth promoting, so I'll promote a really, really good comic made by someone else instead...

AureliusSnow 2019-11-09 02:53:05 UTC #22

My comic is currently on a little hiatus to make way for another small comic I'm working on but I'm always happy to welcome new subscribers! I just hit 50 subs and couldn't be more happy about it!
Please check it out if you haven't already! Every little sub counts so much!

If you like stories about witches, curses, and a little romance, I think you might like Crystal Magic! I hope people like it!

PaulDevers 2019-11-09 05:20:22 UTC #24

Hey there! This is my comic, I'm a big fan of it! Hopefully you may like it? It's a romance, has some dumb teenagers, and maybe some supernatural elements down the line?

Just started a few days ago.
I’m not too sure how to describe my comic but I guess when you read it I want you to look back at the time when you were a kid talking to ur friend about anime and slowly growing with that friend.

I'm a self-taught artist creating an entire world built around characters I've had in my head since I was in grade school, a group of idiosyncratic kids living in a world of people trying to make up their minds and plan their futures for them, in a comic that sends up cliches of slice-of-life, coming-of-age stories.

Howdy!
Here's mine >.<

I think some people get happy with doing it for themselves, but I can't do it, honestly. I think if no one read my comic, I wouldn't be motivated enough. Knowing that people feel better reading my stuff motivates me.
It's sad, but it's just how my head works.
