New Artist (Paid)

Heyo Peeps! My name is James Clover and I'm in the 3rd season of my webcomic "Triage For Love". I've enjoyed the past 2 years doing this and would love to do this till I kick the bucket. The only issue is I'm very beginner level as an artist and now have lost my illustrator so there is no way f…

Reposting Comic vs Editing Exiting Comic

Hello Tapas Peeps! I have a comic that I've been doing for about 2 years and the issue I had is my original illustrator had to bow out due to family issues out of their control. I didn't want to stop making comics so I found a new one whose style was slightly different but in doing so some reader…

Help me find a self publishing company!

Thanks for the suggestions and kind words. I honestly don't care about spending money as long as it helps me make a good product. The hustle of having people purchase or even care is all on me but i have no tools to make a 100+ page book so i don't want to hand over my money and get nothing in retur…

Help me find a self publishing company!

Thanks for the kind words. As you can tell I have no idea what amount is good I've only seen people end up with boxes in their house but maybe now I will shoot for 100+ copies.

Help me find a self publishing company!

Yeah that's the vibe I get. I wanted to try and just get something simple like 10-20 copies made and go to conventions to pitch my comic. (Mostly to get out the house and enjoy interacting with the community In person.

Help me find a self publishing company!

Thanks for the suggestion! I 100% don't mind/i know I'll have to do almost all the work but I just don't wanna get scammed so I figured asking the community would be best since I'm sure there is someone out there that has published their own comic. I looked up lulu earlier and it had some bad review…

Help me find a self publishing company!

Hello Peeps! I've been googling the last few weeks searching for a good company to help publish my comic into an actual book but every company is either A) A scam B) expensive out the wazoo or C) You're left to do all the work yourself. I don't mind spending a little money or doing the work bu…

New Illustrator (Paid)

I started my series a year and a half ago (Jan 2021) and in that time I've had 2 illustrators complete 2 seasons for 18 chapters (20 Panels) for me. (The first I found on Upwork but she had to step away due to family issues because of the pandemic, the second if found here on this forum but they had…

Title's Open or Close

When making a comic do you guys tend to lean towards using your title to open the comic or to close it out? Just curious, my first comic had it at the beginning and my latest tne has it at the end.

Should i stop making my webtoon?

I joined the new Webtoon Canvas discord but im afraid of just blurting out random things lol.

Should i stop making my webtoon?

Thanks for the positivity lol but I'm one of those people who knows what they can and cant do and choose not to waste time on something that will take years and years when I'm doing countless other things. Example, I'm in the middle of school ( bachelors degree) while taking classes to become a cert…

Should i stop making my webtoon?

It's less about seeking popularity (Plenty of avenues to be "Famous" those people from IG or TikTok do it to be famous) I do this because I love telling stories and seeing my ideas come to life. I think it was more about money and confidence in the budget outweighing the results. Not that I'm sour a…

Should i stop making my webtoon?

Yeah its not about the money if it was id spent all that time and money gambling for a quick return. Its nice to know that something you spend time and love making is out there for the world to see and that brings me back to the point of the post i guess with no engagement i feel like "What's the po…

Sep 20, '21

Should i stop making my webtoon?

Yeah, it was because my first illustrator was a little more expensive than I had hoped but we clicked and enjoyed working with her. Since then I've been able to pull back on the budget which is nice, I wish I could draw like the rest of you lol. I just wasn't blessed with that talent and I'm older s…

Should i stop making my webtoon?

That's very true. Maybe i should say id like to hit a goal of at least 1k views a chapter. (Currently around 1700 a month) which pans out to about 400 a chapter. I also don't need 100k subs to feel good getting over that 1k hump would probably make me happy enough to do a season 3.

Should i stop making my webtoon?

I kinda gave up on Tapas i still push stuff out but i saw early on the feedback and engagement was very low as opposed to webtoons. (Which is what i was referring to)

Sep 20, '21

Should i stop making my webtoon?

To answer your questions. No I had 0 Social presence online about this webcomic. Probably spent a month or 2 working on it before my first chapter (I know I dove in headfirst)...(Damn Pandemic) Yes, even though the whole point of this post was to ask if I should just give up I know deep down 1.…

Should i stop making my webtoon?

Thanks. I do a lot of ads on my IG page and it's been pretty solid. I think I will take a break sooner than later. Good Luck with your future novel!

Should i stop making my webtoon?

The webtoon means a lot to me. I would love to do it forever but I'm sure like everyone else you want to know how to get the most exposure possible. Coming to fruition for me would be at least getting views even if the subs never come. The rating system kills me too 9.96 but it gets you nothing in r…

Sep 20, '21

Should i stop making my webtoon?

Yeah it's not like that for me. Even getting to 1k would be such a big deal for me. I guess it's not the subs it's just more what do I do for exposure since I can't seem to figure out the best way to generate that.

Sep 20, '21

Should i stop making my webtoon?

Heck yeah 6k would be worth it to wake up on the front page. Money is what money is but I'd gladly spend whatever I needed to get more exposure lol

Sep 20, '21

Should i stop making my webtoon?

Thanks. I do enjoy the process even with my crappy storyboards being made to send to my illustrator is something I look forward to each time I'm done writing a chapter. I just think I took a confidence hit today with being unable to talk to people about my comic more so than I was expecting. ( I don…

Should i stop making my webtoon?

I 100% started this as a passion project with the hopes of becoming popular because lets face it that's what everyone hopes for whether or not that's why they're doing it initially. So to answer your question its because i love telling stories and seeing what pops in my head go from their to pen of …

Sep 20, '21

Should i stop making my webtoon?

It's definitely out of passion, if I could do this all day every day without any financial pushback I would. I guess my issue is convincing myself and my spouse that the money spent is worth it. Almost a year in and almost 6k invested between my illustrator and promotions on my end for 20 likes make…

Sep 20, '21

Should i stop making my webtoon?

I'm sure every creator here has thought and felt the same thing before. How do I put so much into my comic for so little in return? Days and Days working on a chapter for 10 likes. How is it this new comic no one has heard of has 4 chapters and 10k subs? (No hate good for those comics but how do t…

Redeploying Chapters

I was wondering if it's a good idea to start from scratch since I've updated a bunch of older chapters and took a break in doing so. Would it be a bad idea to wipe it all away and then restart with the updates? I started in January and took a break in June till last week but I feel like the time o…
