Uhhh, for plush love... iirc I wanted to write about a spoiled brat experiencing karma.

TC I wrote for a holiday contest, but had such a blast writing I kept going.

CPC (upcoming work) I've been writing because I wanted to write a story ficusing more on platonic/familial relations rather than romantic. I also wanted to just have sweettooth zombie >u>

You? I'm in love with cat-head boy. ovo

Hmm.. It's been done to death, really, but I wanted to leave a message about the pursuit of fame vs the pursuit of art also I just wanted an excuse to draw dumb scenes.
My comic's kind of a reminder to myself, too. Make art because you like it!

I want to leave the message that the people who really loves you, love you with all your faults and don't try to change you. And that their love makes you want to overcome your fears : )

I always write because stories made me feel less alone when I felt alone. This is something that I always strive, honestly.

I'm making Maxiboy because I love super heroes and I believe in what they represent at their core. How they represent people doing good because they can do good. The optimism as a way to see life, as a choice. I write Maxiboy as a good person, someone who won't give up, because I feel I give up a lot and these last years I don't feel like that great of a person. I want to remind myself to try and always be better. I was writing a lot of deeply flawed characters at the time (a.k.a. assholes) and I just wanted to write about someone good. Someone, in many ways, better than I was.

I'm currently writing a story to try and process feelings of isolation and the desire for validation, the desire to be desperately loved, so yay some FUN FUN stuff!!

Because it was in my brain for 3 years and I had to get it out! No, I just love creating.

Because it had places id really love to visit.

Because I could gather all my favorite ocs in some way shape or form in there.

Because I had some seriously issues I was working through and I thought it could help someone else.

Because I had a bunch of tropes I really liked to see and I wanted to combine them,

I really like the concept I had when I came up with this story a decade ago- and I added to it, which has really transformed the concept from something rather simple to a pretty decent story that I can chronicle for as long as I want.

I make stories because if I don't put it on the paper, they keep haunting me.
I've troubles staying focused and not spending hours daydreaming even when I'm around people. Putting the results of my daydreams ( and "night dreams") on paper help me dealing with those (or, at least it gave them a purpose XD).

I write Abby's Hope because I'm sick and tired of people not understanding that, yes, I suffer from mental health issues but, no, I am not ONLY my mental health issues. I wanted to raise awareness and help others like me understand that we might be weird and awkward but dammit we're fabulous! And we could take over the world if we wanted! But tomorrow, huh, 'cause today we're a bit too depressed...

And I took on Late Night Challenges to help other creators of this wonderful community come together, show them that we can create cool stuff when our brains work in the same direction. Also I wanted writing exercices and this forum has a lot of cool ideas.

I want to give people an escape from reality, so they can be with their inner child and unlock their imagination

It might sound super weird but I listen to music a lot and my brain just goes off on its own and it came back with this story. 13 years ago, 15 year old me started drawing these funny little characters and they seemed to have a mind of their own and developed into these beings that I would draw almost obsessively throughout my teens. I started to build the story more. I thought that I was going to write a movie and was script-writing when a comic artist asked me why I wasn't turning it into a comic.

With all the drawing that I do, you'd think I would have figured that out myself and I don't know why I didn't think of it before. The message is to not rely too heavily on technology. Don't skimp on your own lives. The easy road may have some difficult consequences. I make Mutane because this was an idea that I had nurtured for over a decade and it was finally time to set it free and let others enjoy it.

Because If I’m not being creative my soul slowly withers away!~

Normally I just try to give my readers a good time. I tend to ramble about what I learn so my stories gravitate towards some message but is not like I intend to teach anything…
I am writing red moon nights because I wanted to explore all the issues of the Main character… in a world with vampires!

I also have the deal; if I don’t write the story, it keeps haunting me.

Because reality is just s*it. XD

I can't love, nor that I'm loved, and manga and novels, and whatever I watched and listened is my source of life (and love). (For some weird reason I started to teared up. Today is not a good day. I'm sorry)

Being a mangaka is what I've been dreaming for a longest time, and at some point i just got crushed to the point I don't know anymore and just didn't give a s*it about life and my surrounding (I'm still the way I am today).

So when I found out that I can publish (stuff) online (found wattpad and then tapas, eventually), I started to do what I can do, but at some point rl keep pushing me down and I kept on avoiding doing what I love the most (since this is the only thing I can love).

I started to get off topic, but I just do what I do to show what I feel and gave the world a pieces of my mind and imagination (thought my ideas consisted of very dark topic and stuff[?]), and, well, actually I don't know.

Just there to be remembered, I guess.

Damn you sound like you need a hug... Take a breather, buddy, and keep posting your amazing stuff! There are a lot of people here who love it!

I just want to see people suffer and cry! Also, it's a feel good story sometimes. Mostly in the first chapters.

Because I want to be able to give people something different. Never mind being a popular story, I just want to tell an uncommon story experience. ^u^

Most of my comics (Language Woes, Tales of Home, even Matcha) are made because I want to share parts of my life with other people whether it be language, culture or just life in general c:

It's nice to share in the things that I enjoy and I hope that my stuff would encourage others to join in on the conversation

I'm making Sage's Sunset, simple cliché fantasy epic with minor twists.

I've had the story I'm making for years, together with the dream to just finish something BIG for myself, as any artists wants in the end. And well, going through some rough times and already having 20k words on that story, I just went for it and started on a page... And another, and 2 months ago I took the courage to get it on Tapas.
And I love it, every second of it! I got actual fans (Holy damn) following my story and discussing stuff about it and it just proves to me how much earlier I should've started this. Not only for the appreciation, but just for the explosion of quality in my work.

I wanted to make an action story inspired by my favourite DC comic, and one of my favourite games... Also I wanted to draw some really bloody and intense fight scenes.

It started as just two scenes, that I wrote for a creative writing course I was taking. My teacher said it made a really good start to a full story arc so I took her advice and finished it.

Then I became super invested in the emotional journey of the story and just HAD to publish.

Because I want to improve my skills as a writer and artist.
Because I don't want to stay in my current career for the rest of my life.
Because I have dozens of stories that I want to tell and have people appreciate.
Because I want to prove to myself that I can stick with a long, LONG term project and complete it.
Because I love making stuff.

making it for practice.....i dont know anything about writing,but i can draw,so i make comic.

comic has been helping me cope with my personal life,so i figure i want to create comic to help people with their life.

I love to read, it's been a major part of my life and I wanted to try my hand at writing myself

As far as the theme of my writing, I wanted a story that showed the complexities and messes that is life, how the line between what's right and wrong/good and evil, can be fare more blurry than people realize and despite all that, people can still pick themselves up and push forward. People are far stronger than they realize.

well I mostly work on my comic because I have nothing else to do, and I have a LOT of ideas for it in the future that I don't want to just be in my head. it's also a way for me to develop my art skills. otherwise, I don't really have any message in it. I just do it for the fun of it

I want to give my readers a good time. Reading always protected me from the crap going around me, so I wish it would help someone else. This is not to say I write happy stuff. There is darkness in my stories but through all the toil, I always let good prevail.

There’s something I always quote.“Write the book you want to read,” and I always do that, there’s thousands of stories about the hero winning and have friends to help him/she beat the big bad evil person so I want to write and show that villains have friends to and things don’t always work out the way you think it will. But that’s just for my new book.

Why... Because its fun!

I draw my comic because it's a story I want to read and I also want to try and share my thoughts in it as well since I have trouble expressing them verbally.

I wanna be the very best

....like no one ever was?

I thought it, you said it

To catch them is my real test

Im making this because its my dream to be a comic artist and because of my love of manga and comics. Ive been working on this for about 9 years since i was in 10th grade but only in the last few years has my art been good enough for me to actually make pages. Still have a long way to go art wise but still want to put my work out there and make a story that atleast some people like.

My little series started out when I was feeling depressed and I wanted to do something productive. After watching animation videos on YouTube and reading webcomics I decided to make an fb page. At first I just uploaded drawings but then I came up with my first webcomic which... wasn't all that good...
Eventually I made up a plot (which I am still currently refining) and filled the series with more characters.

Generally I just make comics about my life and what I find funny. But my message would be to share my experience with others.
If... that's counted as a message :T

I am very religious and it was on my mind and laid on my heart for about 2 years and I have been trying to develop the story and world for about 2 years. With all the signs about armor put in front of me, I decided to go ahead and pull a Hayao Miyazaki by making up the story and retweak it as I go along. I think a lot has to do with the theme of knowledge is power and being strong when it is hard to be strong. I want to encourage myself and others to strengthen their faith in the midst of pain and fear. https://tapas.io/series/A-Call-to-Bear-Arms6

It took me a while to realize this but I created my stories to cope with some of the trauma in my life, specifically, about not having a dad there for me. I found my self trying to build a relationship with him in my stories.
Not much has changed since I was a kid. I use my art to cope with my current struggles, to understand my emotions, and to share my joys as well.

I just wanna leave a message of hope
