Hi there! The name's Amy, your local Aussie artist who loves coming up with stories!
I have so many I want to tell, I can't wait to get creating!
I'm proud to present one of two awesome art pieces done by the artist Sheryl Chieng, for my story Colonial History: [image] There is another beautiful piece done by her on my Ko-fi page, plus two others, but you can only check those out by becoming a monthly supporter. I guarantee more will come. …
Urban environments have become a favorite of mine over time- I find them a lot simpler to work with than natural environments because so much of them neatly fit within the basic rules of perspective 
Here are some examples from the only comic that has taken place exclusively in an urban environment …
Dan Panosian is an artist I love who does some amazing freehand backgrounds. This tweet kinda stuck with me. Like other people have already said, I think you just need to experiment with the backgrounds and find a background drawing style that fits with your characters. Go crazy; go too far in all d…
It helps to use the same techniques for your characters and their environments. Match your line quality, shading style, shape language, level of detail etc etc. If your characters are cartoony, simplify and exaggerate the buildings in your scenes as well. If they're detailed, make sure your backgr…
The guys above gave some nice tips on persective already very important stuff on its own like the skeleton to the human body 
Other than that, personality of the location is also improtant. The questions below can help you design interesting archetecture and props to clutter your environment an…
do you mean like the sizes don't feel right? Or that the perspective feels off? I don't know if this is what you're after, but a trick I learned in an architecture class was to base all measurements off of a back corner (or an outside corner--just have one thing in one place to base measurements o…
Funnily enjoy I was talking background in a server earlier so happen to have this on hand for really simple easy backgrounds for things like covers or character pieces: Tbh he's a fantastic resource for all sorts of tips and tricks and it's subtitled properly in so many languages. Really great. …
I'm contemplating taking one (or more) of my fan-concepts and writing it into an original story...but I haven't actually watched any magical girl media outside of Pretty Cure in a long time. ^^; And speaking of which, I'm in the middle of re-watching the S1 English dub for the third time...it really…
I mean, you already know I love some magical girls who actual kick all the asses, it's why things like Symphogear and Lyrical Nanoha were right up my alley. Later Pretty Cure seasons are really hit or miss depending on who's running it, I think. I think Heartcatch was peak balance of action vs mag…
Did this Illustration themed on Halloween for Scarlet Society! [image] Feel free to check out the webcomic!
That's it. That's the thread. Hampter.
I've got hampsters on the mind today. go nutz.
I've been drawing these 2 the last 2 days, just completed the second one, it's my MC from Drifted wearing costumes or something

While Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are down, we need to entertain ourselves. Just for fun, give a caption to this picture! [image]
Designed some new goddesses this weekend. [image]
Ooh mines sapphic! (heads up that the woman is in disguise as a man for most of what's posted so far, but it's a wlw story <3 )
Can't wait to read yours, but... here is my comic! After the war of soul, Araceli lived in fear not knowing if the Guardian was alive. All they saw was a small blue flame at her grave. That flame disappeared 16 years ago, when Astraea Sadira was born... and when the soul file was created.
Well then, I hope you enjoyed my manga.[:smile_01:] [image] Edit: it'll might involve them but I'm not there yet.
Can't wait to hear about yours once u get the ball rolling.
NB here with my first actually LGBT comic, Sugar Moon https://tapas.io/series/Sugar-Moon
It's about a ghost girl who wants to go to prom 
Just started posting so not much there yet
Thought, we need a little more off topic questions here in the forums, to bring in some fresh air x3 So, let's do that, shall we? What are y'alls favorite games that you could always return to/replay after a long time and why? What makes it special to you? For me, it's Sonic Adventure 2. I didn'…
I'm in the process of doing this right now, and so far it's been going very well for me, so maybe I can offer some insight. I managed to get 4k followers on instagram and 12k followers on tiktok within the past 3 months, both of which were exclusively made to build hype for my upcoming webtoon. St…
Hey! this is my first attempt at writing comics in the webtoon format, and I'd be very grateful if you beta-read it for me! if you want me to beta-read your script in return, I'm down! Note: this script doesn't include the character descriptions because I put them in a separate document. the only im…
It felt suffocating but not anymore, I have finally figured out my gender identity [image] I wanted to come out to my family too but not after the reaction I got a year ago when I came out as a bisexual. Basically my mother told me it was a phase and proceeded with a long lecture
Look, I know Tapas is a creative place, and creative people like validation and acknowledgement and can get frustrated when they don't get what they think they should. But can we please stop the hate on other creators. I see it constantly on these forums and it's becoming a nightmare. I have so…

[image] I think the first character makes it pretty clear what the main inspirations for this story is, but what do you think of these characters? Anything that should have a change/edit before I fully commit to these designs? Especially with tall boi, his design is seriously lacking a pop of colo…
Hello! Thanks for the feedback (again) as you can see, I am now adding a chapter that will explain more about Percii!!! (Also, in the beginning part 2, check out his bedroom!

Hey folks. There was a thread a few days ago about what you HATE to draw, and although complaining and commiserating about the hard parts of making art is fun... I'm betting a lot of you enjoy drawing in general, even if there are some subjects you don't enjoy working on. Well this is the opposit…
understandable. I always need to add meaningless words or a bunch of (: (: (: at the end to fit the 20 characters lololol
thank you thank you. hey question, do you have a series that you want checked out?
