Who draws female protagonist webcomic too?

[nickysoh]

@williamjbowles Well if you want to know the reason how I got inspired to write this story, you could go to my webcomic site and read it up at the "about page". I wish it was me that spoke you, hahaha unfortunately I'm not the one.

I gave the group an even gender ratio to prevent the whole "bunch of men with one token female" sort of thing.

Hahahah I use to have that thought when I was younger but it doesn't bother me anymore. If the story is imbalance in gender cast but it tells the message then it works. For example, Y The last Man. The main character is the last man on Earth. How else would you want to make it gender balance? lolx

@Kamikaze Hi! When I saw "team" I wanted to ask for your artist but you guys all worked together. HHEHEHheheh Just subscribed to your comic. Its impressive that you guys are still together after college. Will also take my time to read your webcomic.

@getsuart Echo looks fun! Why didn't you color your comic? Just out of curiosity because the Christmas special looks amazing.

@juniorguilherme340 is there a specific reason why most of your characters are female?

@MichelleAntisocial Thanks! Glad you like it. Too bad my updates are once per week.

PLUS a lot of the story deals with the main character not being taken seriously (as a threat) because she is female

Well RockMaryRock has some of that. Anything that creates tension for characters are good. That's where the story comes from.

@kazukitakamura126 Yeah totally agree with you. As long as the character grows in the story it doesn't matter the gender unless the gender affects the arc of the story or has an impact that would change the world. I think for In The Midst you clearly have a direction for it , which is why you made the protagonist a female.

@scythe HAAHahhaha I had a good laugh. I was like "Did this person just type that?!!?!!". Wish you had done me a favor of pasting the link to your webcomic. Just subscribed!!!

@Thesleepypencil

I think it's because i want to make characters that i wished i had growing up.

I feel you!!! I guess that's why we make comics; to tell the stories we wanted to see that never got made.

@avimHarZ I really like the CHristmas special! Why are you not coloring your comic too? It looks really good in color and you clearly have the skills to do it!

[Damatris]

Well you don't necessary need to add female characters to balance a story I feel. If the story needs it, it will unfold itself and you'll naturally write the character into it that's what I think. Hahha but that's just me.

I agree! Adding female characters doesn't automatically make a better story and sometimes it's not necessary. But it still grates me easily (not always and I do love multiple stories with this kind of balance) if there's 5 men in a main party and 1 woman.

But the thing is, male character is often the "default" people go to as it's what is best presented in media. Which is why I think it's good to think critically about the gender too instead of just "letting the story unfold". Sometimes it results in the realization that the initial idea was the best one indeed. But as a creators we do have the full control of the story and characters even if it can feel like they write themselves, so I think it's good to ask "why not" instead of "why should I".

Oh, and by balanced I do not mean completely 50/50 cast but something that's like 60/40 or close to it (both ways). Unless there's an actual reason for the lack of other genders. Like setting the story in a school only for boys/girls. : P

Hahha, yeah, I have couple one shots (only one on the webs so far tho) as well as a journal comic I update when the fancy strikes. x)

[Aetherwing]

@nickysoh Thank you very much for the kind words and I'm glad you like what I have so far! And yeah updating 2x a week is a bear. I had to take a break from it for a little while in order to get a good buffer going. I'm also really impatient and just want to get out as much as I can haha!

[justifiableconcepts]

@nickysoh Thank You for the kind words. Just saw the subscription too, I really do appreciate it! As for the male characters and adults, all I will say is...keep an eye out, haha. [You may or may not even see in the comic Aliens...elfs/other mythical creatures...unicorns --okay maybe not the unicorn but I just had to build the intrigue.]

[demthorshie]

Hahaha thanks for the compliment on Cosmos Song! It was going to be a silent comic at first but then I felt that some scenes could only be conveyed with dialogue! So I guess you can say it's a dialogue-light comic at the end of the day.

There are definitely challenges to writing comics that contain a protagonist of your opposite gender! I definitely felt like I needed to think harder when writing dialogue for my male protagonist, I went through those moments where I was thinking "would a guy really say that?" or "is this something guys do?" xD

[mariusthered]

Thanks I am just working on the published pages to try and tone it down just a notch so it's more except-able so I hope more people will come a read it and sub. One thing I will guarantee is nobody writes like I do, I have never liked to go with the flow.

[elixiadragmire]

a little late to the party BUT I have a female leading lady AND villian in Silversong ... I love them both

[BraveHeartTatsumaki]

Thank you for your opinion of my comic, and yes, she'll go to the "hero path" but it will take pretty long before that, trainning and learning

[blastryoku]

My comic Curse Lineage has a female protagonist because i like to draw girls.
Really, there's no profound or deep reason for that, the story would have worked out fine either way if she was a boy or a girl.

[nickysoh]

@justifiableconcepts Aliens and elfs??? Finish that comic!

@demthorshie Don't worry I ask the same exact question a lot. I keep trying to remember what it must have felt like when I was a kid while writing my comic.

@elixiadragmire Never too late I guess. That banner is gorgeous. Your webcomic really has a children book kind of feel to it. Especially like how you treat your panel borders. SUbscribed!

@blastryoku Already 9 chapters? Wow that's a lot of content. You can technically already publish a book.

[juniorguilherme340]

Im not sure, i guess its my way of making things a bit differently than others, since i noticed most manga feature males as main heroes, and since i like playing as females on videogames all the time, i have just added then in

[blastryoku]

Hahaha, yes, you could say that

[SketchbookKid]

@nickysoh I completly agree. Just having a female character doesn't equal a better story/character. Feeling real is definitly important regardless of gender( or species etc). I strive for it when i write my characters.

[SketchbookKid]

This is gorgeous!! Subscribed!!

My second superhero series The Valve Web Series has a female lead.

Seattle resident Valentina Mobela is granted, by accident, the powers of the Chaotic Light from the Valve of Order and Chaos. Though she also releases a powerful evil, which is probably bad.

I guess the original reason why I made her female was just because I already had a male protagonist in the Jonny Web Series, and wanted to do something different with this one. Hope that doesn't sound bad or anything.

I tried to add other differences, like their powers. She's more of a defensive fighter than my other hero, The J. She has light beams and shields. She is also more hesitant then him to go find/fight the villains, but she also is more aware of her surroundings and thinks things through more.

Let's see here. I have 4 comics, and three of them qualify:

The Law of the Jungle only has one protagonist, and she's a strong one. That's also our second most popular book, so that shows that there are people who like it, so I will keep writing it. Spelledeg does the art on that one.

Then there's Pride, which has 1 male and 2 female protags. It's an odd book, sorta like a police proceedural mixed with a romantic drama. I do the writing on that book, and John Bratus does the art.

And finally, I have Warmage, which has a male and female protaganist, though both of them would disagree about who the real main character is. It's a High Fantasy/Modern Romcom with some world-wide conspiracy tossed in. I do the writing and the art on that one.

I enjoy writing strong women, and have a number of them scattered around my comics.

My lead for Demon House is female.

I don't think I have a particular reason why I made her female but I do have reasons for her being how she is. I didn't want your usual thin, pretty, popular girl that would fall in love with one of the demons (clichééééé). Instead I wanted a more heavy-set lass with some great body-confidence (but insecurities in other areas) that can act as an adversary to the demons and tell 'em what's what.

[Caelestie]

I do write a female protagonist in Diexemor

and I have a mostly female cast though that seems to bother some people and also their gender is not easily discernable! So I am pretty atypical when it comes to my female characters. I would be nice to see more diversity when it comes to female characters!

[Waterdrain]

Hi! Welcome to tapastic!
I have a female protagonist in my comic Hobo story and I have two protagonist in my other comic Out of the Ordinaryand one of them is female also. I don't know exactly why I put girls as the main characters in most of my comics because when I think back on the comics that I've done in the past they always had a girl protagonist. I do like seeing strong female roles like Rey from the new star wars movie and some of the characters from Steven universe. Maybe that's why? : /

Why are you not coloring your comic too?

I could but it's way too tedious for me to do a comic with an estimated pages of 1000+. Plus there are a lot of things to consider like lighting, moods, etc and I'm not really good at choosing the best colors for the scenes... and It'll probably save me a lot on the printing cost.

Love your comic btw, interesting story.
