Hey everyone! I’m looking to start publishing a LN and I am not artistic in the slightest. I’m wanting to have an Anime style cover and would love to see your work for commission! Thanks in advance and hope to work with you soon!

That totally depends on the readers, not Tapas. If my stories resonate with people and they become a lovely, loyal sub, and my readerbase grows, they usually follow me to my newer works. They are the ones who unlock and donate ink, not Tapas. Tapas acts as an advocate. They and I promote in ou…

I think nowadays... researching what is popular to that platform. There are a lot of competing ones—Wattpad, Webnovel, Ritoria, Royal Road, KDP, etc. Each one is unique (and The Beginning After the End came from Royal Road originally!) with its own tropes and fanfics. Thankfully, what I liked was …

Hi there! This is GiveMeThatBread. I started writing in Community in 2020 during the COVID lockdowns. As of 2025, I now have four Premium novels—won two Tapas contests (TLOT and AF) and my Community novel (The Vampire's Last Omega) turned Premium in 2024. Do you have any questions about how…

He's adorable! [image]

I need practice lol so I'll sketch your characters. I'll be doing either bust or full body, but if you haven't drawn them just give me a description of what they look like and I'll try to whip something up for you. I won't be able to get every single one of you but I'll damn well try. Also if I thin…

Love too see how many people are gonna participate!

UPDATE: Found out my USB part on the 3 in 1 cord is GONE- which is why the laptop isn't sensing it...so I gotta buy a new one. It's gonna take at least a week at most for it to arrive; I might have to see if I can survive doodling on my iPad. :weary: I feel like it's too small and limits my movements.

For me it was that someone mentioned in a previous thread that there was a soft announcement from staff that it would be postponed for a little bit. Let me see if I can find that thread…. Edit: ok yeah here take a look. https://forums.tapas.io/t/why-is-there-no-inksgiving-this-year/86124/2 ht…

Chippo might be the last chicken in the world, surrounded by endless mist. As far as he knows he could be the last living creature. But something is amiss, packages arrive at his doorstep, even though he never sees who delivers them... What happened to the world? And why is he the only one left? …

Hello Hello! I'm sure you saw the Inksgiving announcement by now! I was thinking of doing a participation thread - if you're participating, drop your link! Let us support each other when that time comes around! Explain your stories too! Maybe we can find new stories to read and get excited abou…

Just saw this announcement: Yeeeaaahhh! This is gonna be my first inksgiving event so I’m SUPER PUMPED! SO…essentially, I’m wondering who else is….ABSOLUTELY 1000percent EXCITED :laughing:

I am an illustrator who is looking to do book cover art. I can draw a variety of characters and genres. If you are interested, comment/ message me. I do want to be credited, be able to post the cover, and put it in my portfolio. I also would like to at least be able to read a bit of the novel for …

I need a cover art for my Webnovel in tapas which is "Xianxia" genre. If anyone willing to draw it please notify under here. https://www.instagram.com/poor_poet_2?igsh=NGR2cjAyY2hxMWp0

Hello everyone! I am DeeDee, another author with a strong passion for writing. I am currently looking for an artist to design my web novel cover, "The American Stuck in Korea". I am willing to pay, which further details can be discussed. For those interested, I can send you the character description…

One thing Ill say in addition to and or agreement with what all other comments on here are suggesting is that I don’t pressure myself about the whole “good” “bad” art thing. I know art is subjective, so some will like it and others won’t. Other than that, if your are style is going for a more realis…

@moontokkym has excellent points! There's some things you can do. First, just make some comic pages. You don't have to share them with ANYONE. Just make some until you have them to the point that you're happy with them. Then, plan some short comics - a single page comic. Then a two page comic. …

(long personal story dump lol) For me personally I just drew for myself. I had this one comedy idea, albeit silly and maybe stupid, or at least I thought it was at the beginning, but I wanted so badly to see what it would look like as a comic, so I drew a test comic, just for me to look at and t…

I'd say first: work out what you're actually scared of. Like you've felt this nebulous scared feeling but you've probably never sought to interrogate it, because it's way easier to realise you're just working yourself up over nothing when you actually think about it. Like, some common examples: "…

Hello I just wanted to ask how do you gain confidence to even start making comics. I have my ideas, characters, and story thoughts planned for my first comic but I can't even gain the confidence to even put pen to paper and make it due to being so scared. How do you do it?

From what I understand, your work is automatically under copyright as soon as you create it. Registering your copyright is to simplify the proving process when you go to court for copyright infringement or when a piece of art has multiple creators to easily identify who owns the art. From what I h…

Most people tend to do ongoing works here. I think if I was going to do a novel, I'd finish it first, so that I could then go and revise the beginning. I'd probably go through 2 or 3 full drafts, and then publish the chapters on some schedule. You'll definitely want to start advertising shortly b…

Just as the title says. I'm looking for an artist to commission for a book cover. You may promote your own works with examples, price rates, and anything else you feel necessary. You may also recommend other artists too. If I choose someone from this forum to commission, I'll message you privately, …

:blue_heart::blush: Thank you all so much for 100 subscribers! I am beyond thrilled! Every single like and comment I receive really lights up my day. I’d love to do something special to celebrate—maybe a Q&A, or catch up with some of the characters in a special chapter or two? Let me know what you’d like to see! Drop …

That's very true, I remember when I finished my first novel, my writing friend said that was an amazing achievement in itself as so many people start thinking they can write the perfect novel in one draft and then give up when it doesn't turn out like that. I think most people have a creative side…

I know many people who have good stories and ideas. But for some reason, they expect their work to be near perfect right away. But in reality, this is impossible, so they either don't try to start, or give up quickly after experiencing a bit of frustration. In short, this perfectionist mindset …
