History nerd. Please read my comic. I'm desperate https://tapas.io/series/The-Finger-Bone-of-St-Cyneburg
@revisionstudios Thank you for the criticism. So, I went back and added pages to try and fix the pacing and to clear things up regarding the situation, scene changes and the world building. I also added some establishing shots to make it more clear as to where they are and made Vance's face more di…
Thanks! I'm curious as to how far you read? I did go into the magic system building more in ep2, I was trying really hard to avoid the typical info dump prologue. For the world building and magic, I was aiming to give the bare bones, leave a mystery, I want to focus on being character driven. B…
Hey thank you! I absolutely agree about the tropey-ness of the first chapter. Ironically, I am also really not a fan of starting out with a fight scene! But we were new writers and saw the advice everywhere so we were like, "welp, I guess this is how you get people interested right??" 
I'm glad chap…
@Pyomatic @revisionstudios I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN 
I've got a backup log of at least 10-15 pages, and as I've been posting my chapter 1 to Tapas I've been going "oh my god this is soooooooooo slow oh no" but I didn't want to go back and redo it because then I'd lose content? In retrospect, I probably…
For me it's the shadow wolf epic, but I do intend to create something out of it someday. It's about a non-specific tribe where every few decades a child is born marked with ouroboros on their neck, and they're destined to fight The Shadow Wolf, that's a malevolent spirit of death that comes to wreck…
Aww, jeez, it's a mess. It pukes rainbows all over the canvas. Colors so loud it upsets the neighbors. It struts nakied without any linework. It just sheds everywhere, and I have to shave it to bits with the eraser tool just to keep it in line. It's like keeping an unruly pet really... I'd guess…
"And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." - Friedrich Nietsche “It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.” ― Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent “I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this wor…
I think you have to define "important" or "successful" to answer this meaningfully. I know that seems kinda semantic, but like, seriously, what do you consider successful? 20k subscribers? Making a living through patreon? Resonating with a group of people and having them tell others that your comi…
Look, @scullpanda . Here's the thing. No, your art isn't perfect, and yes, it could do with some improvement - but as long as you actively work towards improving your art, it's going to get better! I promise, it will! The only way to do it is to practise - and a regularly updating comic is a good wa…
Look, I don't have a ton of experience of knowledge like the previous replies, but here's my 2 cents. It's okay to be upset with your work. I think every artist, writer, and creator (of anything, really), gets frustrated with themselves, with a lack of response, or maybe just being upset just beca…
This is probably not going to be a post you're going to be upbeat and cheerful about. I'm sorry. 1.Sometimes all the hard work in the world doesn't help. I know that's a bitter pill to swallow, but it's true. Sometimes something you've put a lot of effort and love into just doesn't connect with p…
Agapetos - Basically a Bible Story except with a lot of complaining and historically inaccurate armor, and who's the main character anyway
Well, I'll drop this thing here and run away

This is the way I'm making comics now. I work with 3D modeling for games, so I make all the models I use. Why not trying to use them on comics too?
I'm still in the fetal stages of comic development so all I have is a possible(?) first page design: [image]
For Cosmic Fish it might not seem obvious at the time (since a lot of things are still being established) but three inspirations drive the plot when I decided to go with the story: (1) Mental health, personal views/acceptance, and healing (how ghosts change throughout the story is the giveaway he…
Here's Eva, @jennytinka! [image] Here's my boy, Beau. He's not usually in a suit, he's a button-up/polo shirt kinda guy. [image]
@Jennytinka Great advice, Photoshop tricks are super useful for fixing a lot of things quickly. Just in case Op isn't using photoshop and doesnt have access to those tricks though I thought I might mention that you can sorta do the same thing as a color dodge without having to actually use it. It's …
Subscribed. Thank you for posting! Up The Trail is a western. [image]
Ahh all these sound super interesting! I'll definitely check out some of these new posts. And i realized that the last time i'd posted here i hadn't started my comic yet, so here's just a lil boost for Agapetos! [image] It's set in Galilee in the first century, with some biblical elements, bu…
Staff pick is just that, a personal pick. It's our best guess that new series tend to show up more often than old series because staff likely monitors new series. First off they want to make sure a new series isn't too violent/racy/vulgar. Next it's much easier to check in on 40 new series each d…
Jennytinka its too bad that your too lazy to scan your traditional artwork because your digital stuff is so beautiful. :). I love the atmosphere you were able to catch in both pictures. I like to color with colored pencils and digitally draw. My latest colored pencil [image] Aaand here is m…
I guess I do a bit on both, my art is mostly traditional pencil sketchy lineart and digital colouring! [image] [image] [image] This one is scanned and looks more painty but the sketch is pencil as well [image]
What a fun topic! 
This is my main character, Arainia, from my story Haven + Hael! Something that makes her unique is that she cheerfully presses on and continues to help people who need it, even though they despise her and call her a witch. Also she can be really really dumb or really really smart …
i totally saw your comic somewhere before but i lost it before i could read thru it so this was fun! it has a really playful but sneaky vibe to it so that totally reminded me of the music from a series of unfortunate events https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoBnHYKcCRU it sounds myschievous but also k…
