So, my time has finally come. I too, adored Barbie movies when I was younger. As lame as it might come across, I actually think they were made with a lot of heart, even though you could assume they'd be little more than marketing material. My personal favourite was Barbie as the Island Princess, …
No problem~ Good luck with it.
Its an optional thing, so don't stress about it if you don't know what to put. Usually people just use it as extra space for promotions.
I should make them, but I get lazy. :"D
I don't have much advice, but I think usually western comics styles use more obvious 'shapes' in how they build everything. The face can be broken into prisms and spheres, that you can sort of outline if you tried? That's what I tend to feel. Hair also tends to a 'shape' too, though it can still be …
Congrats on the win!!
Depends on your resolution/DPI, but you can use the preset sizes in Clip Studio for a guide.
It's definitely understandable. :"DD I don't go out of my way to avoid people I admire, but that fear of being disliked by someone you respect is very relatable. I'm also one to fret over minor social mistakes I make though, so maybe it is a slightly anxiety driven mindset. qwq;;;
Honestly, I just want to use this year to pace myself and prepare for 2020. :"DDD If I can upload a page a week for my comic, that'll be success for me. I'll worry about grander ideas next year, and do my best to avoid burn out.
I don't have a novel of my own, but I have done a promo for my close friend's novel, To Love Again! It's funny because I see a similarity between using mini comics and the likes to promote a novel, to how the manga/light novel industry uses anime likewise. Or movies and TV shows for a more Western i…
A buffer is definitely the way to go for multiple weekly uploads. The pain of working back-to-back isn't worth it!!
Aren't they? Originally, I started with a 3-pages per week upload, but I overloaded myself and burnt out. The 1-page per week is kind to me, but I still dream to return to 3 pages because 1 is just so little!! OTL
I'm expecting mine to be roughly 24-30 chapters, and at a page a week at 30 pages a chapter, apparently I'm looking at 12 years??????? I really gotta increase my upload frequency, if that's the case. :"DDD
My personal logic is that, well, LGBT+ is about attraction? The whole stigma around it is because LGBT+ find attraction in not-so-conventional ways compared to the majority, whatever that may be. As to why it's mostly romance, I'd say it's because people like being invested in fictional relations…
How many pages an episode do you plan for the rest of your releases? I'd say just match the format you'll have for those, and simply upload a couple of episodes at the same time to start with. Otherwise, in general, it's a pretty good idea to give people something to jump into~ The more the merri…
It's a bit sad to hear that novels are being received poorly, especially because a close friend of mine is plans to get onto the platform. qwqq That said, I feel like Tapas as not marketed the Novel section of it well, if what its done so far is even really marketing. :"DD But, since I have no ide…
Hi there~ Welcome to Tapas! You don't need to reach $25 per month to get paid, you just have to have an Available Balance of $25 or more to be able to transfer! No wait times necessary.
While I'd really like a desktop tipping feature too, I think the problem is that it's not just a matter of transporting the mobile tipping functions onto desktops. For one, there's nothing to say that the advertisers on mobile would want their ads run for desktop users. Almost all of the ads I've…
From my experience, the worst thing to do for webcomics is to publish too much at once! (Only parred with never updating at all but that's besides the point \DD) While this dynamic might seem reasonable since that's how, say, novels are consumed, I feel like there is a fundamental difference betwe…
Congrats on getting a good deal~! >w<)/ I've worked with Clip Studio for almost a year, after switching from Paint Tool SAI. It took me about a month or so to learn it, though I had worked with SAI for around 5 years prior to that so it was mostly transferring knowledge and relearning short-keys. …
I ate all the mango at a family dinner and then my aunt asked for some. Everyone just turned to look at me, wolfing it down. :"DDD
I need help with this too so Ima track this thread. :"DDD
Here's a link to a previous thread that discussed alternatives to Tapas~ As for which community is better suited for you, honestly it's hard to say without knowing what genre/maturity rating your comic is. :"DD And put most concisely, Tapas is best suited for easily consumed content. Comedy, R…
My avatar is the eye of an OC who's very dear to my heart, but also because I really love green eyes! X"D It was done in a rush though, so I want to refine it one day. But ever since I adopted it a couple of years back, I've never tired of it, which to me is a sign that I should stick with it~ T…
It's really interesting how you say your role is shifting from creator to artist because of how you're infusing more meaning into your characters - since I'm the complete opposite! X"DD I prefer being referred to as a 'Creator'. Though I have a feeling that a large part of that preference is due …
Sorry, I meant that "there were so few Es on this thread". X"DD I need to read over my messages more before I send them. ;;;;;;; That said, I actually wonder what the balance is like. Surveying that kind of stuff is hard since there are so many variables (age, location, hobbies,etc), plus I'd susp…
ENFP here too! OAO)!!! I was really surprised to find someone else with the same type, since there are so few Es to begin with. :'DD That said, it's odd to me since I've always considered myself an introvert, or an 'ambivert' at best. My lifestyle is certainly still introverted. \D I like my fri…
Tbh, it's largely just a matter of practice. :'D The reason our styles tend to be inconsistent at the beginning is because we're still trying to figure out the 'right' way we want to express things on the page, like faces, hair, basically anything. As we get more used to how we like to represent c…
Sometimes it's ok to leave the later parts of your script until you've started up your first couple of pages/chapters. When I was scripting I kinda wanted it done asap, since I felt like every second I spend postponing the release of my comic was valuable exposure time wasted. So, I just focused o…
I recently got my first donation on Ko-Fi and in AUD, it charged me around 50 cents from the 3$ sent to me. So it's about a 16% cut? Personally I'm not sure whether it's worth it, but perhaps what you gain from the more inviting user interface (compared to Paypal) makes up for it?
