Birbs and Dragons

Pluto tapas.io/series/Birbs-and-Dragons/info

A birb and a dragon travelling across space. Legend has it they came from Pluto.
Seriously, though, we're two authors who started making a comic as a joke a few years back, and it kept growing from there!

If you're into comic collabs, I'm part of a collective that operates using a discord server <3 all the info here: https://collabcarnival.weebly.com/

I'm on the same masto and I think this is very chill and nice over there. Pretty nice admin too and you can have chats with people more easily. 10/10 recommend it This is my profile if anyone is interested: https://mastodon.art/web/@BirbsandDragons

Heyo, suggestion here, I am making a comic about a birb and a dragon, perhaps it could fit? Feel free to ignore if not ^^;

You can code your whole page but it's not mandatory. They made simple UI to help you, so if you don't know how to code, you can just select some colors and fonts in a menu to make your page, or use a template. I'm a noob at coding as well and it just took me a few hours to get it to work :slight_smile: and the…

You can make your own page on ComicFury. It also has pretty nice stat services to monitor your traffic, and anyone can leave comments (without being signed in on comicfury). It's pretty neat. Then again, traffic is always better if you redirect there from somewhere else, like twitter or instagram…

I think it is very misleading to say Tapas has absolutely no say in it. If ads contained NSFW content they would be able to say no (for example) so why not NFTs? They know it may (will) drive people away so they must protect their business. I can't imagine Tapas signing a contract that goes "you won…

Hmmmmmmm, that would make sense to reward the new commenters, I hadn't thought of it. That amounts to 8 different people (from July to now) so that's the same load of work than rewarding ten top ink donators, but is more suited since they're active now, as you say. Thank you! Since you had a hiatu…

Thank you so much for this! I agree the recap might not be needed since it's a different "plot" every time, but I definitely need to do something about all that. Would you say rewarding the top ten ink donators of all time could be a good idea? like giving them a custom panel each. It would allow …

Hello there, I would like to gather some pointers because I've been struggling with an issue recently. After a hiatus going from Sept 2020 to July 2021, I've started to post again at a rate of 1 episode per month (usually on the last day of the month). I was sitting at around 1,1k subscribers b…

I'd say being a hobbyist is pretty much nicer because you don't have the weight of money on you. I know lots of people who saw their art getting corrupted by trends while trying to appeal to more people, get more commissions, etc. Their style suffered and at the end they didn't like it as much anymo…

Do you think it has lots of impact on your visibility?

Ah yeah, it takes a lot of engagement to maintain servers about your world, this I agree ^^;

Title, basically. And why / why not. I'm curious.

Depends what sort of world the characters are evolving in, and the sort of plot you have at hand. We might not suggest the same things whether it's a "romance" kind of plot, or a mystery one, or a horror one, etc. Some ideas on the top of my head: 1. Deliver secret messages to important people - m…

How does it feel to be roasted by your own followers? :stuck_out_tongue: (just kidding, I am in your case too with hiatus and no real schedule, I feel your pain pal)

No worries, I just commented to clear things up. And yes, makes it easy to count haha. Interesting poll though, thanks for that!

My answers are less than 5 words per updates, hence almost no speech bubbles, and 5-10 panels on average. Waaaay below any average. Cough. No I'm not lazy. Lmao

Here is one of the first pages ever, drawn sometime in 2017, I reckon. [image] And now, here's the same birb and dragon, in 2020...! Time flies, folk. [image] I am planning to remake the older pages when I got time, because I fear it might drive away some potential readers, but for now I foc…

Hello! If you're up for it, I'd like some review of my work. The first ten or so episodes are years old now so they've aged quite poorly to be fair (I should remake them) but I'd still be interested in some feedback, especially on the newer iterations. Thank you in advance if you decide to do …

Depends. Working with a canvas bigger than 4000x5000px always fucks me over after a little bit. For regular stuff, if you don't have too many projects open at the same time, it's fine for the most part. Lastly, using text tool is a no no because it makes everything go kaboom. I don't really care …

Where are my Krita folks at?! Krita users, assemble! :boom: Okay, so... I use Krita, the thing that crashes all the time, because I like the interface and I'm used to it. Also, a Wacom intuos pro that I got a few years back after upgrading my previous wacom. I can't complain, once you're past the instal…

That's because being internet famous doesn't mean the same thing on Tapas, Facebook and Instagram. Everyone has a Facebook account and nearly everyone an Instagram, while only comic artists and readers bother to sign up on Tapas. It's like saying you didn't receive as many birthday gifts when invi…

Sorry for the late replies people, I was deciding on my new font myself and didn't see the clock tic away! @Lirina Free fonts are a gold mine when you know how to look. Love the modern day vibe of the one you picked, it's pretty nice and totally fits. :smiley: @rumpenstiltzkin Woah, combining fonts, t…

Type @thenameoftheperson and if they're on the forum they should be notified and appear as such: @Birbmagadon @Fuzzyman818

You should @ tag these people or they might not see it :smiley:

That's fair... (Looking at you and your memes, Elon). But yeah, it certainly feels like PR moves more than genuine engagement so perhaps that's why it may not work on everyone.

You find them altruistic? How? Musk, Bezos, etc all look like megalomaniacs to me... But perhaps it's just me?

He's a consequence of capitalism and I hate what he represents: top 1% wealthy, playing with obscene amounts of money while people die in the gutter for not having enough to live, etc. I also think space exploration is the top 1%'s wet fantasy and is doomed to fail because we'll never have the means…

A timeless classic. MLP is right at the top of the deviantart world, idk why.

Do you see drops in the views after certain episodes? Because this could be an interesting indicator too, since some of your pages are paid only. There might be something to be done about it to make it less jarring to the free only audience, perhaps. I left a few comments on your work in certain …
