I’m just filling in some blanks but I’m pretty much done writing book 1, and for me it’s such a huge achievement as I never finish anything I start 
this will be my first finished work, I’m just really happy about it, and very ready to get it edited properly 
I just find a lot of satisfaction in being told I broke someone's heart or made them cry.
A feral goblin of unsurpassable chaos and an organized, put together handler of said chaos goblin. Hence the dynamic in my novel. [:sweat_02:]
Hi! Today I found a mine gold in twitter about maps, and thought it would be in the best interest of the comic community to share my nenwfound data with all of you. So, about what this is? About MAPS. You need a city, here you will find some tools to create one -EVEN IN 3D MODELS, IN SOME CASES! S…
So, I've been publishing my comic on here since the beginning of this year, but I'd say I've been actually making comics (mainly test stuff) since 2020. I used to and still make a lot of digital paintings, which is what I now consider one of my art styles- but I used to kind of be of the mindset o…
Get creative, click random answers, you name it. I am here as an artist who needs practice. The thing is, IT"S FREE. It might take a while, and hopefully I will have improved by the time this closes, but I want to thank you in advance for anyone who does participate. I am also the author of KITSUNE,…
Solid advice for anyone who wants to build a large audience on Tapas. As a few people have said in the thread, just picking a popular genre, trope or style won't make your work popular on its own, and it's also been said a good few times that you need to make something that you feel passionate a…
This post sure subverted a lot people's of expectations, huh? 
I'm gonna answer the post title because that was what I was prepared to do when I clicked on this thread.
While I like to be surprised by the way a writer uses certain plot points, characters, and other tropes, it needs to make logi…
I'm a novelist, not a comic creator, but I agree 100%. I recently saw a published author go on a Twitter tirade about writers who write solely for themselves rather than money. She posted, "A novel is not your passion project. It's a product. 'Authors' who publish their passion projects are hurti…
Thank you for the feedbacks, everyone! You've cleared up a lot of stuffs for me, I think I know what direction to take the story in now. 
In my case, I don't use the special effect brushes, i turn 'flats' layers into screentones by using 'color halftone' effect. But this is how i tackle the screentone 'moire' effects.
What i do is in 'Color Halftone' effect, I set all channels #1~4 to 33. This is my tried-and-true formula . I think …
I always had issues when I started. Then I said to myself "Huh, I can split my chapter in two and do two updates instead of one" or just simple release the chapter in two parts the same day. This isn't quantum physics. There are a whole bunch of things you can do instead of shouting to the unc…
I can imagine for an Aro, and especially Aro-Ace it's probably hard to comprehend, but sometimes love really does hit that fast. For non-Aro people, while some relationships are quite a slow-burn progression from "this person is my friend" to "I think I might actually want to be with this friend r…
Hmm ... if you wrote the story and you find it believable enough, you could try tweaking it in a way that makes your own suspension of disbelief break? If you're unable to do this (i.e. you find it believable no matter how you write it), then there's probably authorial bias there. And if you are abl…
I don't think i need to suspend disbelief if the romance is happening offscreen. If a story wants me to believe it was True Love at first sight and there's no need to fall in love from there, that's asking me to suspend disbelief and agree to a world where magical connections form in an instant. But…
I read romance novels, and I know other readers and some indy romance writers. It's often very easy for us to suspend our disbelief, especially for short stories. As long as all important events are covered in the story itself, and it's well written.
I think what writers and movie directors do when it comes to short stories with blossoming love is that they have the twoshow great chemistry. I can suspend my disbelief if it's clear that the two's vibe flows so seemlessly. When a movie shows the two have the same level of chemistry as when they fi…
All that. It feels slow paced, compared to Discord. I can enter a topic and I KNOW I am reading things about that topic. Discord is like... an infinite IRC chat with no guide. I don't understand at all about what is been talked about. The simplicity of the forums is the best for me.
Hello Tapastry Community! Some of you may have already spotted the huge announcement which was published this morning. It is now officially confirmed: Kakao Entertainment is acquiring a 100% stake in Tapas Media, Inc. You can read the full announcement here! Allow me to add a quote by our CEO Ch…
I've now made 3D models of most of my spaceships and interior backgrounds, to speed up the sketching process. So I won't share those ones. But here's some earlier stuff! I use more lineart now, especially for anything man-made, but I love this more painterly style when I have the time to put towar…
Aaah feels good to finish these, they were fun, although these were for a read my comic and I shall do your character on a creepy style thread, I still enjoyed the ammount of interaction it came out of it, even if it came with rules, but now it's requests have stopped. So here are the last two! [im…

Hi All, here is a statement from our CEO regarding this article: Dear Tapas Community, Please disregard the false information about Kakao taking “command over” Tapas Media. It is a speculative article from an unknown source. It is true that Tapas has been engaged in communication with multiple…
