Behind you tapas.io/series/kilroy

Hi! Don't mind me, I'm just your friendly neighborhood 2D animator, illustrator, pokemon trainer... Oh, and sometimes I make comics! Also, I have way too many hats.

Check out my webcomic here: https://tapas.io/series/kilroy

Update: I moved away from SmackJeeves. For me, the last straw was when someone asked if I was going to move and I discovered I had NO WAY on the site to reply to them. @ mentions don't even work. "Our highly successful commenting and notifications system has helped connect many webcomic authors to t…

I've been mirroring Kilroy on there since I started posting pages here... and whoof. It's bad. Real bad. I wanted to give new SJ the benefit of the doubt, but it's still basically got all the clunkiness of the old site with all the benefits it had taken away. For example- uploads must now be squis…

"It was then that I realized.... THE ICE CREAM WAS BURNING INTO MY SKIN LIKE ACID AND MELTING MY SKIN!!1 ...Oh wait no it was just rly cold and melty bc it was ice cream. Angrily, I licced my own ice cream while Eric drew a card with his messy ice creamy hands. But then I realized.... IT WAS BLOOD…

Here's mine! I mostly post my art, comic update notifications, and reblog stuff that I find funny sometimes.

I mainly just wanna make things, but like... goal-wise, I do kinda wish that someday I'll be able to supplement my income enough with my art that I could finally move down to a part-time day job and still be okay. Just so I could have more time to draw... x_x Currently I'm stuck in a small city that…

I recorded myself working on a page of my comic, Kilroy! And somehow thought it'd be an amazing idea for my first commentary vid to be 20 minutes long, but I managed! And got to show/talk about my process a bit. :smile: If shorter vids with no commentary are your thing, I also have this video showing …

I've had one since I was 13, but I ended up leaving it for tumblr a while back when it turned into a ghost town due to other people leaving. Still posted occasionally after that, but yeah... It sucks because I really enjoyed being on there, met a lot of friends through that site. Still has algorithm…

Death Note I remember teenage me got so upset at L's death that I straight up stopped reading. <XD He seemed like such an interesting foil to Light, but then just... nope. Dead. Wolf's Rain Okay so I know everyone dies in this one and it's kind of a depressing story in general... but TOBOE WAS S…

I've had peeps trace and repost my stuff on deviantArt a ton of times before. Fanart's more likely to be snagged, but I did see someone once whose gallery was full of traces of one of my OCs, with the name changed to claim them as their own, so OCs aren't exactly safe either. I usually just file a t…

I'd like to at some point! I'm making my pages in print format for that reason. XD I'd probably make extras and stuff to include in each volume... but I'll probably wait until I have more story done, and see if there's enough interest.

Go with which one you like the most. People are fickle beasts, and if you change to please them it might end up eventually disconnecting you with your own work and getting you all burnt out. And really, you can't please everyone! Some people might be upset whether you change or not for them. If yo…

The main thing that I find annoying is that I'm a digital artist, so I've always had to move my pictures onto dropbox so I could get them onto my phone, so I could THEN post it on insta. I mean, what else could I do, take photos of my screen? XD ; Thanks for the advice post though, glad to hear t…

Ooh, like posting them all up under one series? That could be a pretty good idea as far as readership goes, especially if they share a similar theme or something.

Aspergers, anxiety, and depression. I still struggle with self-promotion as an artist because I've just gotten so used to being constantly worried about 'am I being too obnoxious/annoying without realizing?', or 'Are they actually interested in what I'm saying or are they just being polite?' It's …

One-shots absolutely work! Short stories are great, and let you explore all sorts of different stuff! There's no rule against it as long as it follows the TOS for Tapas, basically, so go for it!

My Patreon's been doing the best for me (I offer exclusive art there every month), but second to that has been tapas ink/ad rev. I haven't tried redbubble, but I might try that or something similar if I reach a point where there's a demand for merch.

Nah, first one was good enough for me. If I wanna see realistic lions, I'll look up a documentary or go to a zoo.

I basically have the main outline of my story done, as well as a basic idea of what needs to happen in what arc! XD I also have some major foreshadowing details planned, but for the most part, page to page, I improvise with jokes and stuff to keep thing interesting for me too. I often have two or …

Yep, each page is made solely by yours truly. XD ; Thankfully I only have one series, but man... it's not easy. Someday if I ever get money I'd probably like to hire someone to help with flats or something just so I can make them faster without sacrificing the quality I want, but as long as I'm payc…

That's true, there are deffo scammers on both sides... It's always good to look into the artist, see if they have completed commissions in the past, make sure there's no scam alerts about them under previous names, etc. One red flag I've found is when they ask to send the money over paypal as a gift…

Honestly... Artists take requests from people sometimes, so I think that's one of the few times it's acceptable to ask, provided that it's within the parameters for what kind of requests the artist is taking. And even then, it should not be treated like a paid commission- Don't ask them to remake it…

Hm, yeah, it's kinda rough grouping a whole series into one genre label. XD ; Had that issue with mine. I originally had it under Fantasy due to the supernatural elements present, and the fact that the world used to be more high-fantasy-ish back in its ancient ages... But now the magic's faded qui…

I mostly have random stuff on youtube going- let's plays, artists talking about certain topics over sped-up footage of them drawing/painting, documentaries, creepypasta reading and discussion... There's also a handful of podcasts I listen to, like Adventure Zone, My Brother My Brother and Me, Car…

Used to be 6 pages buffer when I started, now it's 0 pages buffer bc life happened. QwQ;; Trying to build it back up but it's been rough...

I think it's because there's been kind of a thing with christian media, where in the past at least they would make 'safe' versions of all the pop idols or video games or cartoons, which to a lot of people meant heavily censored or watered down. That and religion can be kind of a hot button issue wit…

...Yes. Absolutely.

I have a Twitch account, but I have yet to stream on it. I'm also curious about the whole music thing, since I'm used to just being able to play whatever on picarto. Do they only mute copyrighted music for the VODs? Is there a copyright strike system for that in place? And finally, does anyone kn…

As someone who spent their whole teens on that site, I'm not sure what to think just yet. It looks a lot nicer, but at the same time, what bugged me the most about it was how impossible it was to be noticed on there, and yeah, the more... toxic elements of that site didn't help either. I hope some …
