The webcomic community has changed a lot over the years. How about we take a moment to sit down, relax, and talk about what we miss about the old webcomic community, what we don't miss, what is better today, and what we're looking forward to in the future? Back in the day, there were many small we…

While there are challenges that comes with allowing free reigns, we have given ourselves enough freedom in the length of each episode, to steer the story a bit in a direction that allows for some progression. It also helps that Readers are not likely to vote on things that are boring or wouldn't be …

Hello guys! I'm the author of a comic called The Crawling City. Recently I started a new, very experimental and ambitious project called Readers Quest. The idea is a comic utilizing Tapas' voting system with comments, to allow the readers to control whatever the main character does! [image] [image…

Would be cool to hear your opinion about this little passion project of mine!

Here are the rules to get your comic reviewed: Review 3 comics above yours. Make sure each review is longer than 3 lines. Link your comic at the end. I hope we can all help each other to improve our comics! NOTE: Since the thread just started, just review the comics above yours even though th…

If you read my thread, it's not about that. That's one of my older comics that I made over a year ago.

The views of that series hasnt dropped at all.

No. It is not bad when you only draw OC's.

Keeping your audience coming back is one of the most important things in webcomics. Suddenly seeing subscribers leave can be a very scary thing for new or experienced webcomic creators alike. But what I've noticed with some of my comics, is not drops in subscribers. That usually stays the same or …

Thank you so much!! I recommend Magnolia Online, The Crawling City, Neet x Businessman, and Akihabara Tales if you want to binge 4-koma.

I make pretty much entirely yonkoma. https://tapastic.com/Merryweathery/series

Your artwork isn't very good compared to series that get a lot of followers fast. People who want to read comics on a site like Tapastic tend to judge whether to subscribe to a series in three steps. The cover. The artwork of the first page. The story. Sure a comic might have wonderful and capt…

Looks really cool, guys! Can't wait for a great Tapastic christmas~!

This thread isn't going where I wanted

https://tapastic.com/episode/452631 The Crawling City is a horror slice of life. If you'd like to review it, I'll tell all my readers to go read the review. [image]

The point was to show how it is important because my art is shit.

I've always said story is more important than art, and as a writer, I felt I should prove it. https://tapastic.com/episode/514515 prove me wrong.

It's not that comedy and romance succeeds over sci-fi or darker stories. It's that all things online is catered more towards brevity than lengthy build-up. It just so happens that comedy and romance require less build-up since it's short fun moments, or short cute/flirty moments, as opposed to darke…

There's actually a very good reason for this. Manga in Japan is more entertainment than art. I have no doubt the mangaka and even the editors have a passion for what they do, and if you just mindlessly pump it out, readers wont read it. But the purpose behind manga, and why it is funded, is to mak…

Pretty sure America outgrew the need for slaves because technology and economy made them unnecessary. Yet the Mexican President released a statement that he wanted to work with Donald Trump. He's definitely opening most of the doors that have been closed during the Obama administration (I like O…

If the Chinese could build a wall without modern technology, I'm pretty sure we can build a wall with it.

Someome on Imgur created this manga. http://imgur.com/gallery/zXlmi [image] [image] [image] [image] [image]

... Why doesn't Sixmanga want to steal MY comics? [image]

As a creator, I've always loved when one of my projects have earned a staff pick. Brings in new subscribers, and provides a certain promised level of quality. Problem is, it only lasts for a few weeks. Sites like Kickstarter or Vimeo have staff pick badges that you can put on thumbnails of the serie…

Just shamelessly promoting my comic! Here's a free wallpaper, it can be downloaded from the link in the description of this episode: https://tapastic.com/episode/475077 (Also feel free to subscribe if you find the comic interesting!) [image]
