Mostly cleanliness. As long as it's got the romance tag and the icon and art is clean I'll normally click on it and give it a read. Maybe a hug but I'm pretty fond of the actual chase part of a romance so if they're too romantic in the icon I might worry that it'll be too fast paced or physical f…
Okay, yes I understand you much better now. I'm totally not saying that writers should change their character's race or gender mid story, that is totally a bad idea and I agree with you there. The question I'm asking is that when the writer was writing the character, if they didn't think race or g…
Sorry in advanced, my response isn't going to be very helpful or informative. Being on the main page, icon art and genre. On webtoons I follow 16 webcomics and I primarily like romance and fantasy. Nine of them feature both a girl and a guy on the icon, one has a girl with hands coming in, four o…
Maybe cause the character is hetero? But wait, it's not important though? The what isn't as important as the who, as you said, but they are heterosexual and that's important enough that you can't just swap them out with a gay character? Why? How can these two things be simultaneously true? it h…
a lot of the diversity complaints are coming from a heavily American-centric perspective. What looks "diverse" in one region is radically different to another I completely agree. I don't care for pushing diversity, especially in just a random person's hobby project. I think diversity is extremel…
I'm of the belief that nothing is apolitical, because people are political. Even a neutral stance is a stance. If I have a character who abuses, either physically or emotionally, their significant other and I frame it as not being a big deal I've just said something. Even if I didn't mean to. Even s…
No, most fantasy stories aren't primarily about humans. Or at very least they aren't all just about humans with one token elf* lady thrown is as a love interest *(I mean sure, LOTR but the main cast wasn't all humans is what I'm getting at). Yes hetereosexuality is more common but why is it a male m…
I don't focus on gender and race but I don't ignore it entirely. Some people completely disregard race and gender and end up with a cast full of characters of the same race and dominated by one gender and I think this problem comes from people thinking that those things just plain don't matter and t…
I noticed earlier you were asking for a redline, I couldn't get to if before but hopefully this helps? (Its messy sorry.) [image]

Yeah it depends on the story and what the writer/artist wants to do. Since I just love making locations I put a lot of work into it but it also depends. In the same story I have a completely fictional city and a chunk of the story takes place in a real city. In one of my fantasy stories the whole th…
How much work and planning do you put into your locations, specifically if you aren't using a real world location? If your story takes place in a fictional city that could possibly be real how much planning do you put into that city, or town, or whatever. Do you think of the actual backstory of your…
All I do, personally, is sit down and write for the day in MS Word and when I stop for the day I add a page break where I stopped. I start from that break the next day and just keep going. When I want to check my progress between multiple days I just check the word count for each section against the…
What culture/race are they primarily? Is it more of a fantasy world or is this like a fantasy version of real life? Behind the Name has lists of old English names, ancient Celtic, Welsh, Greek, etc. that you can use but if it's, say, an African family name you'll need a totally different type of nam…
This guy and his hair honestly. It's his defining feature and always makes me uncomfortable when the canvas is flipped. In fact my friend who loves this character the most refers to him by his name spelled backwards whenever his hair is on the wrong side. [image] That said, I like to vary my body …

Wanting to save someone can be inherently selfish though and that's an okay thing to show. Plenty of people will drag their loved ones through painful, debilitating treatments and therapies in a desperate attempt to cure or save them and ultimately make their loved one suffer even more, it's part of…
Tapas is suited for all sorts of content imo. It's not really best for anything specific it's just that the audience tends to gravitate to certain content. The same thing can be said about Tumblr, there is tons of NSWF/straight up porn on Tumblr but with Tumblr, to an extent, you have to go looking…
Oh duh, jeeze. I normally know most British English spellings but that one slipped my mind. I had a feeling it wasn't necessarily misspelled either. Thanks for point that out.
English is not your native language, right? Traveler is spelled with one L and is someone who travels to places, Traveller is a roleplaying game so I'm not sure if that's a reference or a misspelling but you also mispelled "different" and in the last panel the phrase "How I came here?" is grammatic…
Except it's really not a double standard. The princess rescued by a prince trope is a trope because it's extremely overdone and relies on the assumption that women cannot save themselves because they have no agency and must rely on a man to save them. That doesn't mean a princess being rescued is in…
My avatar is my main character from a comic I'm going to be doing after I do a more simple short comic for practice and experience. I love drawing her and recently did a wallpaper sized drawing of her and decided to use her headshot as my icon since it was the most recent piece I'd done. She looks c…
As a reader I'm really not crazy about NSFW stuff so I'm fine with having it censored. If for some reason I really wanted to see the naughty bits I wouldn't be opposed to paying a single dollar just to get that. You could also just not put the uncensored version behind a paywall. When you go to pos…
I'm currently working on the first chapter of my comic but I actually have a calendar marked with major plot points so I know what sort of weather/seasonal things I should be putting in the story. I include major holidays like Halloween, Christmas, etc. and tie in lots of stuff to those things. It's…
As for the "I OBJECT!" trope it normally works when the MC is being forced into a marriage, but that comes with its own weirdness since the MC needs to be literally saved from marriage so it can be a bit weird. I never liked it myself but the only time I gave it a pass and I thought it was done well…
Clip Studio has perspective rulers that are pretty great along with general rulers and stuff, but you can do multipoint perspective and all lines will be drawn on that perspective. I believe they recently had a sale for the program. There's no need to get the much more expensive EX version, all of i…
Also INTJ here. From what I've seen/heard INTJs tend to be creative but don't always end up being artistically creative. I'm not sure, other INTJs I've talked to are plenty creative and pursue art but tend to trip themselves up by being perfectionists and trying to hard to break down art into someth…
From what I've seen (which I could totally be wrong) the majority of fanart Patreons are offering tutorials and other how-to's and aren't receiving payment for the fanart, but for the "education". Fair use is basically allowed "...for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and researc…
The website for Clip Studio has tons of video tutorials on how to use the program, but honestly I've watched a few of them and none of them are really that great or informative. In fact most video tutorials for CSP I've seen have been pretty meh. Instead, read the manual. It should come with the ins…
Tsunderes, specifically the belligerent girl variations of them. I can't stand it at all, even though I love the more toned down version of tsunderes. Also, not so much a trope as it is just bad writing or laziness on the part of the writer but I can't stand romances with no chemistry, or worse w…
When did you last update? I have the same tablet as you and I hadn't used it for a few weeks on my desktop so I didn't have the updated drivers. Normally my tablet functions mostly fine but acts pretty weird (sensitivity issues, shortcut issues, issues with not extending the display, etc.) when my d…
