Creator of Marked: https://tapas.io/series/Marked0

I am an independent artist currently working on the webcomic Marked. I've wanted to draw a Manga ever since I got into anime and manga but never had the sufficient skill, so after about 3 years of doing random drawings and putting them up on DeviantART I finally was able to draw a manga the way I had dreamed of drawing it.

All of those coins were earned through watching ads, though in recent times the ad watching ability has dropped considerably and I've given up trying. That screenshot was taken before my coin event to which I earned 1 million coins watching adverts and gave them all away in a create a comic contest…

My comic is VERY manga influnced, even having the black and white style up until 3 quarters of the was through chapter 7. It's inspired by Shonen manga's like Naruto (Without the ending or spin-off............), Dragon Ball, and Fairy Tail :stuck_out_tongue:. Check it out if you'd like :slight_smile:

You know, after I actually looked at all the people who got into the 1st program. I'm a bit discouraged from entering the next Incubator Program... All of them had at least 1k subs (Some had WAAAY more), except for the two that didn't even have a Tapas account before entering... I'll probably st…

I'm pretty sure as long as you're not sexualizing it or showing them TOO young it should be fine. Especially if she is wearing underwear/undergarments. And if anyone takes that action/those panels as sexual then they just need to stop fantasizing :stuck_out_tongue:.

Likely it's cheaper, quicker, and easier to make a 3D animated film than a 2D animated film, especially when it comes to Disney because when they did 2D films they were all Frame-by-Frame hand drawn. It sucks because I loved their 2D hand drawn films :disappointed:

I don't.... I don't know how to respond to that :laughing:, that character freaks me the hell out. He is pure nightmare fuel, if I woke up and saw that in my house I'd be nopeing and running out of my house as fast as humanly and inhumanly possible. But uh... More power to ya :laughing:.

Art, apart from my comic? What's that? No but seriously I really don't get a lot of time to draw anything outside of my own comic or important un-showable stuff :laughing:, but recently I did get to have some fun making illustrations of characters from my comic. I'm Sorry...: [image] Do... You think…

Huh... Well that kind of sucks, but it's understandable.  Both of my comic pitches are very action oriented rather than romance oriented (Which Tapas seems very keen on), so I guess I'll just have to work on making my pitches look aesthetically beautiful, action packed, and emotionally scarring :laughing:

Thank you very much ^.^

I don't mean the title like that as a bad thing, what I mean by the title is this.     Popularity on Tapas is something that's debated here and there, but what I want to know is how does that popularity make you look to other readers and to Tapas themselves?  Like, am I going to be looked at by Ta…

Currently (I have an un-released page that I REALLY love) one of these two is my favorite page from my comic. [image] [image]

Hello everyone, I've returned with another animated project, although this one is much shorter than my music video for Shelter. If you've ever been to one of my livestreams, Patreon, or Discord server you'd know I REALLY enjoy hyping up a certain chapter to come known as chapter 9. Well, I made…

a fight scene coming to a close. [image]

Hmmm, I feel like I come a long way since my first pages to my recent ones. Proportions have improved, I've found easier and quicker ways to draw things, my characters now have hair that isn't just a couple strands here and there, backgrounds have been completely overhauled, switched from B&W to Co…

While I don't trace line for line, I do trace when it come to anatomical stuff like the body curves and proportions, but not clothes or hair. I also don't think I gave a great example, here's a better one Ref [image] Finished Product [image] Also, these models are cre…

One thing that I've been thinking about for a while now is HOW I do my comic and art as compared to the result.    To give a some backstory, when I was a kid I used to draw a lot but I was always... Bad, as some children are when they first draw things. But I never took art seriously or considered …

Would you like your prize to be handed out during the upcoming tipping event so that the prize adds to the event?

After a long 4 day judging period (Booooo!) I have finally gotten my judges and I to agree on a winner, and the winner is @MinNCompany! Congratulations! @rairy and @Lucazu both had AMAZING entries and I LOVED to read them. If you would like individual feedback on your entry you can privet messa…

I have restrained myself from reading these until the judging starts (I WANNA READ THEM SO BAD!), but a quick reminder to anyone who hasn't put theirs in yet. You have until 11:59:59 EST to put your finished entry in this forum post. I can't wait to read these ^.^

Patreon recently released In-line Images by using the description of your post. You could use that to release many page at once if you need to, although I don't know what the limit is, if there is one. [image] This button: [image] …

This seems interesting, but credibility and trustworthiness is going to play a big role in people who do this because from how this post comes across it seems WAAAAY to good to be true. My comic is in Manga style and I would love for it to be seen by a wider audience, but how are we going to be abl…

The contest is coming to a close everyone! And since no one has asked for an extension the permanent set date is: November 18 at 11:59 PM EST If you want to upload your comic please upload it here on this forum post as either a string of images or a single image. You can also upload it as a…

Ish... Going back and looking at my old art really makes me appreciate how far I've come. I don't have very many "redraws" but I can show how far I've come. [image][image][image][image][image][image][image][image]

Mmm, this is a question I'v thrown around in my head as well. I really think it depends on the context, characters, and personalities, though as a white guy who hasn't had a whole lot of black friends I can't really say for sure :laughing:. One of the important characters in my comic is black and at some p…

My comic marked is very much so Manga-styled being read right to left and black & white the first 7 and a half chapters, though due to the "popular demand" of colored comics on Tapas I decided to switch over to full-color halfway through chapter 7. (It's currently 2 weeks from the first full color p…

If you want to you can use my main protagonist from my comic Marked: [image][image] [image] I don't have very many images of him in his regular attire (Which is image 1 and 3), at the moment he's only shown in the comic with his school clothing on (Image 2)

Glad to have you all join! There are now 23 days left in the contest

My favorite character hasn't been introduced yet :frowning:, and he won't be introduced for at least 5-6 more chapters. Although I do like my main protagonist and two of the characters on his team. [image] [image]

That might have to do with the limited ads for desktop version RN, I've only encountered one ad on the desktop and it's a COPD / ANORO ad As for mobile, limited ads per day has always been a thing for the mobile version

I noticed that bug the other day, hopefully it gets fixed soon. And ooohhh yes I can't wait until Desktop ads, those are gonna be interesting :3 I wonder if it'll be set up anything like Twitch where you have to interact with it to earn your coins. Edit: Totally didn't realize that free coins ar…
