Who draws female protagonist webcomic too?

[Wildfire]

Hey!
First thing's first, your comic rocks (pun intended) and I'm adding it to my favorites as soon as I finish typing this.
My comic VERUS actually has two leads, Ajax and Ema, but she's probably the more important of the two plotwise.

I'll focus on Ema's end of the story here since we're talking about the girls. She's a scientist who was working on some very important research when her lab was attacked. Now she and Ajax have to get from Seattle to Atlanta through a wilderness infested with what's best described as zombies (but smart, fast and mutated to predatory perfection).

The story is dark and violent and kind of awful to the character at a lot of points. Both Ema and Ajax have gone through some pretty horrible things and they're both pretty young (Ema's 16 and Ajax is 22)

I used a female character not because there was any real reason for me to have a female lead, but because the character I imagined in her role just happened to be this tiny little blonde thing (she's like 5 nothing and 90 pounds). I wanted a female character who could be strong, and smart and feminine so I made one myself. Personally I feel like it wouldn't make any difference if she were a guy, but I liked the idea that I could have a girl because I don't see as many girls in comics as I'd like to.

I actually have a bunch of female side characters who feature prominantly, like Ajax's Commanding Officer, a couple of Ema's coworkers on the research and more. I try to keep my cast even and to treat the characters the same regardless of gender. I feel it gives them a better personality.

My webcomic Re:Set has a female protag, Mike, who came from a high society, and so repressed that she released seven demons to turn her life around. And accidentally cause her whole town to be turned into a demon's zombie-mind-slave. Whoops.

Also her mouth is the reason why the comic is flagged "Language" in comicfury

I really like the art style of your comic! I'm definitely subscribing to this one.~
I'm kinda like you. I'm new to tapastic. I post my stuff here on Tapastic after I post on my other site...

My comic Stellar Persona has a female protagonist. She shares the spotlight though. Her "co-star" is a boy.
It nice to see people making more diverse comics.

Hey guy's and girl's! Cool topic!

Yes, I also have a comic with a female lead. I choose a female main character because I knew I wanted to write a shounen comic, but by their very nature, they don't have girl leads. They want guys to identify with the main character so they have a dude front and center. Which is fine but NARUTO, BLEACH, ONE PIECE, FAIRY TALE, DEATHNOTE all dominated the shounen field when I released and I wanted to switch it around.
I choose a girl just to test the laws of the genre a bit I guess?

This is a great topic, and it's interesting reading peoples answers.

I don't know my comics have had mostly male protagonist because of my obsession with androgynous male characters and ikemen. XD

Heeeey everyone!

My comic Prozaic has a female protagonist who, in-universe (and sometimes in real life), is often mistaken for a boy, due to having a husky voice and being pretty much flat. I chose to make her a girl ecause I felt that being so she may draw the sympathy of readers a little better than a guy could (even if it's just to make some people go aaaa so cute, I wanna hug her!), while still pretty much acting like any male or female gamer.

She's a terrible person though, so the cute moments are far in between.

My story isn't there yet, still in the prolog stage, however my lead is female. Dusk of Dawns. Can't say much without giving it away. I'll explain more once I get there in the story.

Hi there,

I have a female protagonist in my Comic, Virtue vs Sin!

www.tapastic.com/series/virtue-vs-sin It's about modern day shamans in America ^_^ It's probably teen rated or higher.

I'm a dude and had a lot and a LOT of male characters. but strangely enough, the comic I started recently which is The Life of Cas stars a female character.

I've only had a handful of female characters in my head and they're mostly supporting characters since I'm influenced by western comic books, Manly men were easy to make and write about. Just make 'em dark and brooding and you've got an interesting character.

Maybe because I'm not a woman that it was hard for me to create one? But Cas (the protagonist in my comic) felt more human than any other character I came up with. Her faults and insecurities were distinguishable, as well as her good traits and she was just really relatable.

The comic I uploaded has just one episode in it yet. but hopefully I can update it regularly. haha!

My webcomic Voidchild (uploaded just yesterday) features a female protagonist. Well, it may arguably contain both a female and male protagonist but I've concluded that one of them is more prevalent than the other. Even though my story wouldn't work without their interaction. I've not meant for her to be, what can typically considered, a female archetype of any kind. In fact, it's sort of by chance and happenstance that she ended up a she. But once it struck me I didn't feel like there were any other alternatives. But like I said, I want to try and create well-rounded character regardless of gender. Whether I succeed at that I guess is up to any reader of the comic.

My comic Pretty Power Princess features a Female lead.She's a video game princess that escapes her captors, and goes backwards through the game. As she does, she breaks the the game. The game changes genre, style, and limitations as she progresses. Eventually moving from side scrolling to open world platforms. (NSFW by most considerations, but mostly because of of violence and swearing!) It's sort of an adventure comedy, if I had to label it.

I chose her as protagonist as a counter to the traditional video game tropes. I am a male creator, and I have to admit writing a female lead is hard. I come up against the desire to make her strong, but not using over-the-top violence as her only recourse to show strength. (Something I've not conveyed very successfully so far, I'm afraid.) I hope to do a better job in the future. I think the issue is that video games by nature require acts of violence to advance, so it translates into her actions. However, She fights against traditional types of misogyny in all the villains as she tries to get home. I hope that comes across effectively.

I want her fight to not just be a physical one, but an ideological one as well. It's been a learning experience, and I have a long way to go. I hope you can at least find it interesting.

My comic, The Green-Eyed Sniper, has only female protagonists, because I am a woman who believes in representing more women in the media in their own right and not as a pretty tool/face for the guys. Well, I'm also a lesbian and I think we need more lesbian voices to be heard, so there you have it

[Stinahhh]

Four Quarters has a female protagonist! And a female antagonist! Because of course.. girls create drama when they get together.

[Inspector_Spinda]

I feel girls tend to draw and write girls more and guys write and draw guys. just a bias because people relate better with people who are the same as them. my early female characters are all flat chested cause i didn't know how to draw breasts without making them look ugly

[navyzerimar]

First: Awesome art style! It's great and with your summary I am already interested in reading it!

Second: I am currently working on my series here on Tapastic (Vlamirka and the Golden Wolf) and I too have a female protagonist has a main character... why? well I can't exactly answer why I made my main a female but it's probably gotta do with the fact that I prefer to watch a female on the lead... (and this is coming from a male)

My comic Centralia 2050 features a female lead C: I chose to make the protagonist female in part because I was tired of seeing female characters either getting the "strong female character" treatment, or being obvious eye-candy.

But I didn't make her female just because I'm a girl; to be honest I tend to identify more with my male characters! :x It was a challenge to write a female character with a personality and outlook that's quite different from my own. My other comic project has a male protagonist, because it felt more appropriate for the story. Same with Centralia; I could have told the story from her male companion's point of view, but it wouldn't be the same.

My sci-fi comic Lemonade has a female protagonist.

[shinepaw]

My comic, Anima Magica has female protagonists, hope you'll like my little magical girl story

No matter I'll throw my Webcomic in to the mix of Female leads. Here I've got feisty, short fused, and loving Amy Druvmenski from my comic Light and Dark?
Now why did I make my lead a female given that I'm a dude? To be honest the way I've written Amy's personality and role in this story I don't think I've ever imagined her as anything but a female. It's just the way it's always been

I haven't officially started mine yet but for my comic "REIAS" the main lead is a woman .In fact both of the main leads are women. I'm a guy and I sort of get tired of the sausage fest that action comics can tend to be. Plus I feel that women are capable of amazing things as well as men and that's what I wish to portray.
