checked the spam folder and it's not there. I know that when I did this for Wattpad, there was a delay in receiving the confirmation mail (about 1 day or so), although this one has been longer than that.
So I was trying to change my email address to a Proton account, however, the confirmation email never arrived, so I'm wondering if Tapas accounts can only link to certain email providers?
2 days? What about 6 months, which is how long it took me to finish this pic: [image] admittedly, about 90% of that time was used trying to decide whether or not to make the sketch a colored pic. In the end I decided not to because I still don't like using color pencils, pens & markers as much a…

Out of pure randomness, I made this: [image] [image] He's an egg who refuses to hatch and just wants to stay in the shell forever. For him to eat, the round thing in his belly(?) serves as a porthole that can vacuum up food. Although I guess it doesn't matter since this whole concept runs on non…
Nature (especially animals) is one of my favourite subjects to draw. [image] Here's a half-colored sketch of a chipmunk stuffing its face with a peanut.
Thanks for the responses. I'm still struggling on how to balance out these nuances in different characters, because, aside from possible accusations of inconsistencies, I also get that giving gimmicks and contrasts is one of the ways people differentiate between characters, and if everyone have dich…
So in trying to figure out my characters and how I want to develop them, I've been ruminating on a discussion I had with the GM of my former RPF (and partially the basis of my current novel), but one of the things we touched on was, where is the dividing line between a character whose seemingly cont…
This is a really old work, but it is memorable because I made it for a character design contest for a game I'm playing, and won 500 in-game credits with the piece. The lore I wrote for the character is that he's a bandit/highwayman who got arrested by the local law enforcement, but was released b…
For my story? It's the main female MC, Celestine Alcott. She seems to be the embodiment of the negative stereotypes that the older generation have about "kids these days": rude, disrespectful, impatient, entitled, know-it-all, etc. A lot of these aspects are probably coloured by Gael's own biases…
Yes, the story I'm working on is going to be entirely historical (which unfortunately means the tale will have a tragic end), although I might add more scenes, change around the orders of some events, streamline some, and dramatize others for storytelling sake. I'm still trying to decide whether f…
I don't usually like using social media, but I like butterflies, and blue (esp. deep blue and sky blue) is my favourite colour, so I thought I'd give it a try. Don't expect that much activity there, though.
Seconding this. The manga industry is notoriously cutthroat. Series that fail to gain enough readershipwill get "axed". For every series like Naruto, One Piece, etc. there are about a hundred more that never made it past 20 chapters because it was cut early due to low popularity rankings and/or poor…
Thanks~ The story I'm working on with him is a historical biopic(? - I don't know what you call a dramatized comic biography). Anyway, the subject in question is this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konishi_Yukinaga Script is about 60-70% done, unless I find more interesting stuff to bloat th…
Not sure what kind of 'boi' he would be described as. Here's several WIP illustrations for the MC of the story/comic I'm working on (outside of the novel I'm putting on hold). [image][image][image] I really should be designing other members of the cast as well because there is a lot, but all my…
Thanks. 
Admittedly, the piece was more of an illustration of the themes rather than an actual character design. I made her statue like to make the juxtaposition of life and hope (flowers and vibrant colours) and death/brokenness (hence the grayscale).
Drawing that piece also made me recall Ale…
I really should be finishing up my report for tomorrow's meeting, but here goes... [image] I first started looking up on flower symbolism/meanings from the Nightwish song, "Amaranth", and this is a tribute to that. Amaranth is a genus of flowering plants known for its ability to retain its vibra…
Same. I don't think it's even possible to write a character who has absolutely no similarities with you, unless you're making a caricature/flat character (which is also fine. Not every character in a story have to complex and nuanced), and some life experiences are so universal that no two people wo…
Hee, I used to subscribe to game magazines, browse MMORPG sites, wikis, etc. for art references. For the record, I do play games (used to play Koei warriors when PS2 was still a thing), but nowadays I just stick to casual mobile games.
Despite the fact that I'm not really a gamer, my art style is heavily influenced by video game art, especially Eastern RPGs such as Final Fantasy, Ragnarok Online, Koei Warriors (Dynasty, Samurai, Orochi, etc.). However, since I'm primarily a penciler, I also gravitate towards manga, where black-and…
So, I don't know how many people here read my novel (https://tapas.io/series/If-I-Die-Tonight) , but over the past few weeks, I've doing some revisions on my worldbuilding notes, cast list, and script, and I've decided to put the updates/publications on hold. As I may have mentioned in my previou…
Just curious, but are you actually allowed to use the promotion threads in this forum to promote works hosted on other sites? Not that I have any at the moment.
A bit about the power mechanics in my universe, since I don't think it was clear enough when I described it in chapter 3. Basically, a Gatekeeper receives their powers by fusing with a compatible Spellstone, and compatibility is based on matching attributes. I guess if we're comparing it to a…
My writing journey began with forum roleplays (RPF), or play-by-post RPGs. I used to be a gamer, and I've always liked games that offer a flexible character design mechanic. RPF allows total freedom of character creation, and you might even be able to participate in the worldbuilding process. But …
Time. I want to stop time so that I can do all the things I want without having to worry about deadlines and work hours, etc.
I always try to make my artwork as detailed as I could. Which is why I don't draw as often as I like. I need large blocs of time to work on any piece, and these days I simply don't have them. One of my more recent pics (and by recent, I mean: made this year): [image]
So, a lot of people had shared that worldbuilding is one of their favourite aspects of writing fantasy, so this is a thread for folks to share aspects of the worldbuilding in your comic/novel to others, whether it be races, magic system, culture, etc. If I Die Tonight, Can You Remember Me? is set …
Poetries are always a good way to increase good vibes. Poets I like include George Herbert, Thomas Traherne, H.W. Longfellow, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Edmund Spenser, Lewis Carroll, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Weirdly enough, with Tolkien, I don't actually like his prose that much, but the ethereal feel of h…
"The Not Love Interest", "Implied Love Interest" and "Platonic Life Partners" Never liked the prevalent idea in fiction that seems to communicate that romantic relationships are the best thing ever or is better/"more" than platonic ones, so I like stories that can show that platonic relationship c…
Definitely. Another thread mentions that most good stories are character-driven, and if a story goes on and on and on without showing/mentioning the people the audience is supposed to care about, then it gets boring fast. I don't necessarily agree with this. Dumping the audience in a middle …
