Your First Comic page VS Now!

[Pommie]

it does give me a lotta manga vibes but i understand why you'd wanna include the following page, theres no limit in older pages u wanna show!

[mannygart]

Ahhh thank youuu!! I only recently started working with color and the struggle has been real, so I'm really happy to hear it's getting there! And I'm glad the subtlety of expression showed through; even though I actually also have schizophrenia like the MC, I struggled to depict someone with that kind of flat affect because I have the opposite problem (I'm muuuch more like the other MC, who is the emotional flood to his emotional dessert )

[Pommie]

yeah of course! i think it helps you organize on who says what, also i understand that pain... i useto do it a lot with my older comics ><

[Pommie]

i'm living for that, i can tell where the details REALLLY come in and it looks like you had a lotta fun w/ that lizard man!!

[colorgoat]

aa thank youuuuu i might tweak the sepia palette later, but i definitely wanted to make it easy to distinguish between past and present. i'm glad you like it!

[Pommie]

awe man, i have a friend and a friends relative whos a schizophrenic too, mental disabilities are so hard to really talk about so it means a lot that you have two MCs that are able to portray what you see and hear ;w; granted... a lotta OCs are a part of us after all!

[mannygart]

This looks so good! The anatomy and paneling does look great, but also your strokes look like they've gotten really confident and the new line quality is great. Love the coloring, too!

[colorgoat]

thank you!!! btw, i just started your comic and it seems sweet so far!!

[Pommie]

i could definitely tell it was the past, im more accustomed to darker colorings and panels projecting the opposite so its a definite nice change than what i'm useto <33.

I love ur gals so much goat wwahhhh

[mannygart]

For sure!! I love learning about everyone's OCs bc everyone's got a unique worldview and an exciting story to tell. That's why I love sites like Tapas and WT, too, bc you can really connect with creators and other fans and share in the excitement!

[Pommie]

god, ain't that a mooddd... its easier to connect to other creators now with discord nowadays...

tapas is a definite go to for me but tbh most of my followers are on Webtoons XD

it makes me feel pretty good as a creator to see so much love for the charas me and my cowriter create for the comic~

[mannygart]

Of course!! Everything looks so great- the colors, lineart, composition, mood, story I'm like fanboying haha. And ahhh tysm! Glad you like it

[Gramkrackerhan]

I only began in October, but I feel like the changes are significant. Of course, the newest page isn't up on tapas or webtoons, yet. But if you do check out my comic, you'll see it eventually

Newest page:

graham cracker | Tapas

[Pommie]

Course, only feel free to share what you're comfortable with sharing ^^

i like how the textures grew more realistic with the newer pages! ... also it makes me really hungry. LOL

[WoollyPAR]

Well I used Haley Mewsome as an example of how I should go about starting my first comic, so her style rubbed off on me a bit. And it's funny because Jhonen Vasquez was her main inspiration.

Hirohiko Araki is my other big inspiration

[Gramkrackerhan]

Yes! I found out I love illustrating food. Especially if the style is different from the background. There's a surrealism that I enjoy

[kaetana]

Love to see everyone's awesome growth here!

Most recent page:

The Broken Ones | Tapas

[Pommie]

@WoollyPAR oh that's HILARIOUS. haha Araki, i can kinda see it cause man his crosshatching is hella impressive...

@Gramkrackerhan that's awesome, I love it when comics take full advantage of the drawwing medium and just dive into a surrealistic piece, i've only seen 2 comics in my life time that aesthetic!

@kaetana oh man the structures in the bodies and faces improved a lot, your background work is so pretty as well as ur use of fonts :3

[WoollyPAR]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it

[TAMAnnoying]

@Pommie ha! Oh yes they’re my lizard creatures, I’ve gotten used to their anatomy over the years but still some stiff parts here and there.

@mannygart omgosh! Now that you say it your so right! I can see that now! I’m way more confident and make deeper and thinner stokes more naturally.
