Which one of your characters is an idiot?

[image] My MC Knox Wyld is written to be very intelligent (the most in fact) yet is shown in the story to be an idiot by making dumb choices.

Does this character remind you of someone?

@NickRowler OH MY GOODNESS SKSKSBEKOSBDNEKK THANK YOU! I totally forgot about Priya and now it makes sense! Thank you all for helping me though.

Does this character remind you of someone?

I recently gave one of my characters a major redesign, however she reminds me of some other character I’ve seen before for some reason. I can’t quite pick out who so I came to the internet for an answer. [image] What do you all think?

Do you sniff your markers?

I’m just curious if it’s an artist thing or if it’s weird. I know it’s random but it’s just a genuine question. We all knew those sharpie sniffers in elementary school, so are you still one of those? Cause I am.

How long have you been on Tapas? Show and tell!

I’ve been on Tapas and the forum for 2 years. Quarantine was a great time to come I must say. I might not post anything comic or writing wise on Tapas anymore, but I love checking in on the forums and seeing stuff. In fact! here’s my improvement from my first comic to my most recent art; [image] […

Random word choices that convey the same thing but set a different mood

Long title but you get my point. I want to hear stuff that mean the exact same thing, but are said differently to set a certain tone or mood about a thing, character, or place. I’ll go first: Tanned and Sun Kissed Skin. Tanned sounds more informal and rough while sun kissed can be seen as a more f…

What are some pet peeves you have with your medium of choice?

Depending on what computer and what tablet you’re using, it’s pretty possible to draw on the bed. I used to use a laptop for drawing for about 2 months and it was very nice for bed work. It also depends on the amount of cords you need. One outlet can work nicely if you’re using a laptop and the tabl…

What are some pet peeves you have with your medium of choice?

I like drawing with pen (not surprisingly.) but not like, the pens I’m supposed to. I get the cheap ones that are supposed to be used for writing. I use them for writing, but mainly for drawing. I just find I kill through them really easily. Even good quality writing pens I’ve gotten lasted me abo…

Did you ever overhype your old work?

The Arial font on the page is killing me- And the cursive font I can’t understand either~

Did you ever overhype your old work?

I only ask because I have the tendency to over exaggerate how good my older writing was and complain how I didn’t improve at all and whatnot. Now that it’s been a longer time, I realize my writing style is basically the same and my actual stories are LEAGUES better than what I wrote originally. I gu…

Your “I’m not biased BUT,” Opinions

Honestly dude, Valid. Eyepatches make everything better.

Your “I’m not biased BUT,” Opinions

@Lulusugar Because it’s the one thing I still cannot draw properly. Same for like, 90% of beginner and amateur artist. I’m pretty sure they have like, a hatred for newer artist too.

Your “I’m not biased BUT,” Opinions

You’re totally not biased when you speak the truth. Let’s hear them. I’ll start: “I’m not biased, but I think drawing hands is overrated. Who needs them anyways?”

Art “Hot Takes”

@AmeTsunami I understand the reason why they say it but honestly, I agree with you there. Hyperrealism only to move onto cartoonism? Kind of dumb @LCT_m_a_d just pop off buddy @DokiDokiTsuna honestly the amount of time I get art advice, I end up thinking about it and going like “how tf am I suppose…

Art “Hot Takes”

This is just a place to drop you hot takes in art. I was bored and I wanted to see what things people think about art. Here’s mine: Your ability to pick up and understand art is the talent, not the fact that you do art. Literally anybody can do art. And literally anything is considered art now…

Draw your character with the hair/hairstyle of the character above you!

It’s almost sad to see progression. It’s like “I can’t believe that I changed so much” ….but also thank every deity out there that it isn’t the same-

Looking at old stuff

When looking at stuff you made while as a beginner, is there something you wish you could’ve told your younger self? Either that or something you commend your younger self for doing? For me, I’m glad I didn’t settle with my first book’s lore. Because I decided not to keep most of it, it helped wit…

When are Mary Sues and Gary Stues Appropriate

So it’s a random thing really. I feel like Mary Sues get a bad rep of being a thing that beginners make and how it’s good to have them unless you’re planning on publishing them. However… I feel like there are times where they’re important to have in a story. Like for a god or goddess. They’re ty…

Random character trait that a character has that has no real effect on the story but it’s there anyways

Would that mean every monologue is just them drifting off while being told something?

Random character trait that a character has that has no real effect on the story but it’s there anyways

It could be for one of your characters, or a character in a preexisting media. For me, I made one of my characters a picky eater, as I’m a picky eater, so I can relate to him more. Example: refusing to eat any vegetables or fruits but being very selective with the meat eaten.

Use a gif to describe the antagonist and/or villain of your comic or novel

My title did not have to be that long- oh well, specifics are good Here’s mine: [image] And the character in question (the villain of the story [image] Her whole arc is the idea that you could have fooled everyone, but you will still lose.

How to gain motivation after losing faith in your own art?

If it’s a problem with the style that you have now then I would just experiment and implement the things that you personally like in other people’s art and put it into yours. If it’s a completely motivation issue then I say either do something you really enjoy that ISN’T art related, or redraw an …
