You don’t have to be from Japan to make manga! I'm an American making English manga -- and not to brag -- but I make money from it, too. If you love manga and want to learn how it works, you're already on the right path. The best way to start is to study your favorite manga while paying attent…
AI “art” is not art. It is, however, based on real art stolen from artists without their consent and often without their knowledge, to make money off of their art without giving any of it to them. AI is very harmful to beginner artists, as they may get accused of using AI when they’re actually just…
I sure am glad there are a lot of good comments here because I'm not nearly as nice as these folks. I'll keep most of my thoughts to myself. However, I will say I've worked in the industry for over twenty years. I've had two novels published-- not self-published, but by discovery from a publisher,…
By checking your older threads I'll be very honest on this, but I believe you need to know it because that attitude won't do much for you no matter what kind of path you decide to approach You always seek the most shady, red flag, incomplete, unprofessional, from dead/inactive/sus accounts, obvi…
I think I've got a more legible color scheme now - thank you so so much everyone who helped me out on this!! I workshopped the update & feedback with my writer and am headed back to the drawing board to update the design. Means a great deal to me that you all took time out of your day/comic work …
Thank you oh so much - extremely helpful!! And it's such a pet peeve of mine if I have to adjust the brightness when I'm trying to read comics and not disturb the sleeping husband [:sweat_02:] I'll make sure to turn it down and bring my phone outside after making the adjustments! Will give some thou…
Hm...I don't mean to be a downer, but I don't know if that's as comforting a thought as you might think it is...at least not for everyone. The idea that people whose existences I will never be aware of might be genuinely enjoying my work honestly doesn't do that much for me, because...I mean...I…
Yep I agree with this! I find myself bored with creators who upload their episodes way too long and I just spaced out reading them. Don’t want the same happened to me and my work. 
oMG THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL!
A lot of teasing can be cruel, but I think the reason is can be seen as part of a good relationship is BECAUSE you need such a strong understanding of the other person's boundaries. For some people, those boundaries are 'absolutely never, about anything', but I think one of the biggest positive t…
Hello dear folks! I want to start by saying I'm very happy about founding this topic and reading other sci-fi creators, I agree about your all opinions. @ccpena616 @eric_river @Kaydreamer @allenT @Demy @Darth_Biomech @jurinova @lomcia @iHateFridays @fsarbolaez I came to Tapas and published a sci…
It might be a good idea to show some samples of your sequential pages to show your comic making skills if you're looking for comics work. Industry standard for a comic artist portfolio is 5 pages of sequential art.
For freelance comic book art, these rates are what I charge per complete page. - Cover Art: $200-$500 per cover Pencils: $100-$200 per page Inks: $75-$150 per page Coloring: $35-$150 per page Lowest to Highest based on composition and complexity of the…
I’m not sure there’s any way to really “get rid of” these feelings. It’s just as you said, you have to learn to accept them. Someone will always be better than you. Someone will always be worse than you. And you will never improve if you don’t continue to try and grow. That’s just the way of thin…
How? Uh... common sense? No one is the absolute best, and if you get the impression that someone is, it's just media hype, an oversimplification, or being trapped in some opinion bubble. Applies to any occupation.
WOW! That's a nice story! Thanks on the feedback for the vertical format too!
You make an excellent point: if the people want to read vertical scrolling, I must abide. I definitely do not plan to ever publish in print. If for some reason a comic I make kicks off, I'll worry about it then, and maybe do what Mongie is doing with "Let's Play". It looks stiff once it's in book fo…
Yeah it´s also fun besides that as It is know that the character´s clothing can show their personality and the space suit for combat sounds interesting
The perfect opening theme 
We just gonna act like you didn't come yesterday?
Don't really wanna crush your hope but with that kind of art quality and the huge amount of layers that needs to be done for one movements that price is way below average. It is understandable if you just starting out, your artist just starting out, but what you're looking for is not something that …
We can't prove or disprove if it messes with the algorithm, but the problems with sub-for-sub are: It's just ignoring the issues that are causing people to not read your series. If you're advertising your series around and about and not picking up any readers at all, like nobody at all sees your …
Pretty much this 
On average only a very small percentage of readers will leave any sort of engagement, be it like (more common) or comment (much less so), even for super popular series.
As a random example, I decided to click over to the Webtoons Originals tab and found a series with 6.4 million …
@Ordinaryaverageguy @Rhonder i see what you guys mean, those are some big stats i guess mines are too small to notice. but they still have something, even creators around my stat range has more engagement, but with what @Kaydreamer I have some things to fix up, maybe it can help. thank you all …
first thanks for the advice I'm definitely gonna make time for that, I don't do the sub for sub its not legit to me, i stay far away from those post, OK, I'm still learning so I'll have to re-do my text for sure less is more with it comes to dialogue. I've been working in Photoshop, which I'm sure …
Honestly, earning money through webcomics is REALLY hard, but you can just earn money with something else and then use this money to hire an artist. I consider doing this myself if I ever get a good job in software development, even though I AM an artist myself. I just think that drawing a comic is …
If every artist out there would not draw anything because they art lacks fundamentals, all the webcomic sites would look like this [image]
You're doing well in the art part. Now whether you have the guts to start drawing a comic is a whole different thing 
(not saying this in any diminishing way b…
