Your art is always inspirational! It's hard to critique because I'm not really seeing anything that's not working. I would say that the best thing you can do is keep drawing, but also, take some time to practice real human forms. again, your art is really good, but anime is an abstraction of th…
This one's hard for me! I think of a technical level, you are probably a little above my own skill. If I had to crit anything, though, I would say this character could be posed more dynamically. I'm not familiar with your art, so this could make sense fo the scene or something, but with an abstra…
In celebration of my story making it to the top 50 of the action fantasy contest, I will be critiquing art! Keep in mind, I'm not perfect with my own art. It's okay to disagree if you think something I say is wrong. But hearing constructive crit is good for your skill as an artist. it toughens up …
Noticed your story in the line up. Great cover. Especially the Typography. 
[image] Caspar may seem outwardly gruff, but really he's a senstive, awkward, (really awkward), kind soul, who always puts the needs of others above his own.
Congrats! Wishing you success as your friendly rival >:3c
The time to vote is here! Let's support each other! Share your cover or some promotional art, add a link to your story, and tell us all about your book. Here's mine: [image] They raised Caspar Shaw to be a monster hunter. Using ruthless precision, he takes down even the fiercest of supernatu…
He's reluctant to let other people help him. He feels guilty about it. Malakai here only gets the okay because Caspar already paid a heavy price for the support... 
[image] Caspar is a bit drunk here. Lucky his friend is here to keep him from falling.
[image] drunk hugs hehehe
Wheres the art? I'm being shortchanged!
[image] Here we have Caspar (left) and Malakai (right) As you can tell, Caspar is a little shy <3
Hey! Because X (twitter) is now using AI scraping without permission, I decided to move over to Bluesky. What I'm looking for: Fellow writers Fellow readers People looking to exchange feedback Artists/art fans new book recommendations 18+ moots (no fetuses, thanks <3) Find me here if i…
My actual controversial opinions: MHA sucks most isekai stories suck or don't use the genre properly Cats are not only better pets, most people are unqualified to have a dog bigger than a toddler. Adults should trick or treat Lore Olympus sucks in both story and art. More fantasy/paranormal …
As an artist, the take that "modern art sucks" isn't controversial, though most people don't actually understand what modern art is. Modern art is art that's from 1860s to the 1970s, including any artist works that favored experimentation and expressionism. So do you like starry night? Congrats, y…
My main character also hunts monsters, but he takes down more of the paranormal sort. Weapons include: hunting knives, guns, sacred herbs, oujia boards, etc. Oh and, his "best friend" Malakai is used as a living weapon vvv [image] Probably ironic to hunt monsters using monsters, but if it …
Hey thanks for this! 1.) Is the start too slow? Do you think the MC is making smart choices? is the prose interesting? 2.) There's nothing really i don't want feedback on 3.) the pacing
Queer women and men who watched supernatural and were pissed that Destiel didn't become canon. ,3
Caspar picks the knife up off the ground. Although its sheen is dulled, he can still see his own stormy expression in the cold steel, crowned by Malakai’s blood. Caspar tilts the knife. His reflection slides away. “It’s a bit strange. This spirit is strong. Too strong.” “You don’t think Melinda …
Sorry if this comes off as rude, but the art kinda reminds me of AI. Did you edit a AI photo in Paint.net? Or is it drawn completely from your own skill? I only ask because AI art is forbidden on Tapas, and it will disqualify you from the contest. If I'm wrong, please disregard.
Just a random question: who did the cover art?
Yes, I have a story participating in the contest! I think mine is pretty unique compared to a lot of the other entries because its also Urban-fantasy. If you were interested to learn about Action-fantasy, Urban-fantasy is similar. Like most other fantasy novels, things like magic and inhuman creat…
Omg I love how colorful it is! Getting major power ranger vibes!
TBF, the post title was story idea as in, they're developing a story, not that they have one yet. I think they're being a bit sensitive but you were also pedantic with your comment. What they wanted to know is if it was interesting, you didn't say if it was or not.
Wow thats some stellar art! Your style is so unique!
Here's my Prototype: [image] Personally when I first conceptualized the story for my book and drew the sketch for the cover, I had a different idea of how I wanted the relationship between the main characters to be and how I wanted it to develop. So originally, Caspar Shaw (the MC) was a 18 yea…
Wow what an improvement! so cool! I can especially see where you're starting to get a hang of the wing anatomy. thats always hard!
it's my personal opinion your art hasn't reached the level where you will find much success. This is a good start, but you still have a lot of technical areas you could improve. There's no shading, no light source, your line width isn't varied, no color, and your anatomy is off That's not to say y…
Yeah. It might be different if OP had a comment history but note this is their first post. Like, not saying 100% they're fishing for concepts to use nefariously. But isn't it interesting this is their only post, only comment, and they didn't even share a pitch themselves? Not to mention, a lot of …
It's not that pitching is a new process. I have pitched stories before to other writing platforms. I just don't think it's a good Idea to post on a public forum like this lol. Yeah, you're probably right most people don't want to write other people's stories, but people will put all the informati…
