I don't really think censorship or privacy is the issue here thats a whole other news story regarding congress allowing ISPs to sell your personal browsing data to whomever they wish. Or prices, Net Neutrality won't effect the monopolies, horrible service, and lack of competition to push infrastru…
I really loved all your responses on this thread, it gave me alot of perspective as someone whose relatively new here and has been looking into alot of stuff to understand its viability or lack there of. On this point though I can say its not very likely that premium creators get much of an insi…
This thread has been amazing for me, because the appeal of BL or GL has been lost on me for years. I only consistently read one current BL webcomic from one particular artist that I've been following for a while. I've never really been able to understand the appeal of it but I've read some -- I thin…
I think that idea of "stop romanticising mental illness in the media" while with good intentions could have unintended consequences. There are people genuinely ignorant towards mental illnesses that crave forms of media that will allow them to see different perspectives. That kind of idea skirts a v…
Hi everyone! My name is Lindsey and I've been relatively new to the forums but I've decided to make my first topic around a very serious issue that could not just effect places on the internet that you currently frequent now but the importance of competitors that could emerge in the future to impro…
I certaintly have some stories that become guilty pleasures and that I gravitate too. The really smart young genius that has a pension for breaking the law and serving self interests and grows - Artemis Fowl The smart mouthed supernatural quipped story involving a large cast of characters that all…
I think the confusion is pretty clearly defined right here. and I'm glad they will be working on it. Tapastic guidelines are currently too vague and insufficient and its obvious that in the grand scheme they may not be as important as the iOS and the Android App guidelines and rules that Tapas ru…
So I just happened upon this thread and alot of the comments I've been reading so far mimic what I've been feeling alot lately and its been such a breath of fresh air! I've felt so alone! haha Not just DA but most social media has caused me to feel like its just not social anymore? This is the fir…
I took a look at your comic, I'm not sure how much you should pay per page but I guess getting quotes from different freelancers wouldn't hurt if your interested. Personally I like the cool gray scale shading you are currently using over color. I wouldn't know if coloring would be a viable option fo…
I vote for number 2 in the OP, I love the silouhette against the background! Its a great composition! 
Do you mean art style or art medium? Each of those vary a bit for me in style so I'm not sure I could place it, it was a really popular realistic style back in the 80s. Its difficult to speak for each but I know that most of the background art in the original starwars trilogy were oil matte painting…
Your sketch looks pretty great so far in terms of proportional anatomy. However when it comes to the placement of the eyes nose and mouth its best to use a form of template or layout to get even proportions. [image] [image] Manga and Anime styles (as well as other cartoon styles) can sometimes be m…
Hi everyone! I'm new to the the Tapastic community and especially the forums. I'm a comic artist and writer originally from Maryland USA but I now live in Sejong, South Korea. I haven't started posting my comics on the site yet but I plan to in the coming year. Since I don't live in Seoul its a bit …
That statement was utter horesehit, and they know it but they never want to admit the main underlying problems that have been effecting the comic industry since the closure of news stands across the U.S. and the over reliance and under support of comic book shops. All those articles hit the nail on …
I'm curious here if anyones thought that the "too diverse" comment might not always be actually directed towards the content of the webcomic or graphic novel but rather the way that it's advertised. Personally from the extremely diverse to the little to no diversity, it usually does not effect me as…
I third the earlier suggestions, particularly about the handwriting. As a mostly traditional artist myself I have to say that its a rare once in a blue moon moment when digital lettering goes well with a traditional comic. When handwriting letters its easier if you write out all your dialogue first …
