In addition to the demographic thing that's already been pointed out, I'd also like to add that in such a vast sea of comics, things do just get overlooked. My own comic sat on Canvas at around 3-5k subscribers for 2 years before they even realized it existed and started including it in collectio…

Unsolicited critiques are like being given a plate of veggies. It might not be what you really want, but they're good for you and you should probably eat them. However, sometimes you just really don't wanna eat your veggies for whatever reason and that's completely valid! But when a chef offers yo…

Here's a few pointers since I'm obnoxiously passionate about vertical scroll as a format and art. Upload your episodes to Deviantart's Sta.Sh to test them. You can upload very large files on there and then view them on mobile, so you can much more easily gauge if your text is too small, panels t…

Great post! I just have one note that I think would be worth including: This is good information, but I might also look into asking some professional Webtoon artists what their rates are per episode rather than page! (By Webtoon, I mean vertical scroll comics, vs. traditional page-by-page comics…

I might be mistaken, but I don't think that was one of the series with that option? :thinking: Either way though, I'm not sure.

Yeah, Tapas removed it and a few other series whose contracts expired! Winter Night was definitely a personal favorite of mine, so I was super sad to see it go. Yes, I believe if you purchased the episodes, you're suppose to be able to still access them! It just can't be found by new readers. …

I thought if I turned on my gameboy while the airplane was taking off, it would absolutely crash. I took that "please turn off all electronic devices" thing a little too seriously. I thought I held the lives of everyone on that plane in my gameboy. Also, more of a prank, but you know the StarFox …

Hey! I'm really wanting to start making some merch for my comic, but I'm not exactly sure where to start or what I even wanna make. So can you show me what merch you have for your comics, as well as what sites you get it through and sell it on? I'm really just looking for ideas so please share any…

Premium, but these two still fell way under the radar despite how gorgeous they are: Both two very charming little comics that I consider masterpieces.

Toy Story 3 hit me hard, but not in the same place as most people. Andy saying good bye to the toys was sad and made me tear up a little, but what actually made me lose it was a few minutes earlier in the movie when Andy was saying good bye to his mom and dog. Because I pretty much grew up with And…

Everyone who knows me knows I love sharks, but I specifically only collect great white shark stuff. Sooo any non-great white in my collection is definitely from a friend or relative. Not to say I don't love all my sharks I've been given, but I really only want great whites (or sharks that are so car…

We just need verification! Just a simple "yes, it's been over 24 hours." :slight_smile:

Hi! Just wanted to update you that we're looking into it. :slight_smile: I do think there was some form of error, but we'll let you know soon!

10 business days! So that doesn't include weekends. However, if 10 business days have passed, you can email us at feedback@tapas.io and we'll be happy to look into it!

Can't recommend these two comics enough as examples of beautiful vertical scroll comics: First one becomes pay to read after a certain point, but I still highly recommend at least checking out the free episodes for some gorgeous art that definitely doesn't skimp on backgrounds! I also like …

Why not both? But yeah, seconding @keii4ii in the sense I die a little every time someone puts down vertical scroll. Don't like big, white spaces in your comic? Then don't put them, or if you do, do it strategically. It can help a lot in pacing and mood when done correctly. As someone who's done…

I'm sure it would be fine and welcomed! Seeing as there's poetry and other prose already in the novel section, I wouldn't be surprised if there's already some sort of scripts in there. I've even considered posting my own comic's script as a sort of "bonus series." (I probably won't, but I've conside…

Good thread, I'm always looking for more music like this. : D It seems harder to find... I think this falls more into a sub-genre as they're more...digital hard core I guess? But Rabbit Junk is my allllll time favorite band and definitely deserve more listens: PIG is also fantastic and probably…

Hey there! I'll be sure to bring this up to the team ASAP, but I can't promise a solution right away since it's the weekend. However, it might be worth noting, I think this sub and unsub thing may actually be some sort of glitch? It's been brought up a couple of times on the forums. I actually ha…

Couple more cameos this page! @lolinone @frixelkind (as well as some twitter folks) [image] And I think with that, I'm good on cameos for the rest of this chapter! However, I'll still come back to this thread for cameos later. My comic takes place in a city, so there will be plenty of more backg…

@MinNCompany @DavidPerry Thanks both for your responses! So correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you kind of combine the rough draft/sketch phase? Currently my rough draft stage and sketch stage are VERY different processes. Rough drafts are just for figuring out layout and panels, whi…

So, starting next chapter, my comic is probably going to go through a pretty big change, format wise. Up til now, I've done the traditional formatted comic pages, but starting next chapter, I'm most likely switching over to the vertical format, just to adjust to where things seem to be headed these …

First page of cameos is up! Just in case you guys wanted to see your characters in the finished product. :slight_smile: [image] STILL accepting cameos btw! Still have a couple more pages coming up...

I actually kind of had a similar dilemma not that long ago. The name wasn't Japanese, but it was still a name people told me made them cringe. :'D Ultimately, the overall verdict when I asked for people's input was just "it's up to you." And the ultimate decision I ended up making was...keeping the…

Joanne's type: Buff men who would kill me (I approve)

Aww! ;v; Thank you! That makes me so happy to hear these boys are the furthest thing from perfect gentlemen

Yeah man... No...idea... No idea whatsoever. Can't tell what what I like at all by this blatantly self-indulgent art. Not at all. [image] [image] [image] (gosh I love claws)

Thanks everyone for volunteering your OCs! : D I've still got a couple more pages of this crowded club, so this won't be everyone. Still also taking more, so feel free to continue to post. Once again, no promises I'll use everyone but definitely looking for more MALE ocs. I can't post full pag…

Hey there! I've got a scene coming up that calls for a decent number of cameos in my comic, City of Blank: I'm not 100% sure how many characters I will need yet and I can't promise I will use everyone's characters, especially if they don't seem to fit in with the world. I'm looking for relati…

Whoops. Hi, I'm really bad at remembering to check the forums. Anyway, reviving the thread to add my own contribution now! [image] The first day or two, I tried really hard to ditch the keyboard and rely on the buttons on the Cintiq. But there just aren't enough buttons for how many hot keys I us…
