Not very good with the socializing, people are too monstrous...
If you're interested in my comic, here's a link to my comic. NSFW, and contains dark subjects, read at your own discretion.

Both my MCs deal with mental health issues. Apollo (On the right.) has mild syllogomania and depression from loss of a loved one, who turned out to still be alive, and being kicked out of his home for being gay. Julian (On the left.) has a cocktail of psychotic depression, PTSD, anxiety and possib…
Edit: Btw, if you're under the age of 17 don't click the link in my post. I don't have the time or energy to deal with that shit. Like, is it alright on the desktop site? Sure. I mean, in the first chapter I have a (non-sexual) full frontal nude scene where a naked guy walks around an apartment …
Yeah, that's what sucks about hosting sites/apps like this. They have strict, and sometimes really odd, rules on what they consider "mature content". I imagine you probably lost views due to people needing to have accounts to see episodes or pages marked as mature, a lot of people don't want to bo…
Hell yeah, we do!
You know, looking at Mixam and CWS again, their sites must have changed since I first printed. The latter used to have custom sizes, and I don't remember Mixam having as many comic options. But man... $64 is So Expensive.
Thank you for the link! I'll definitely get my hands o…
Yeah, Mixam is pretty expensive! I was looking into them myself, but found out they don't do customized book sizing, and the sizes they had didn't fit the dimensions of my comic pages at all! (The joys of working traditionally, it's harder to change around the layout of your pages. Lol) I've been th…
Aw man, that's awesome! I'm excited for you, it always feels good holding you work in your hands like that. Also thanks for dropping the printer's link, I self-published the first volume of my comic ages ago, and while I'm fine with my printer I've been shopping around just to compare prices. It …
Ho yeah, writing/art is a form of expression, so it's natural to use it as a therapeutic outlet. There are even studies that discuss how the consumption and/or creation of fiction is a type of therapy. (That's where you get metal, horror movies, gore and transgressive topics.) I'm in a similar bo…
My MC, Julian, is panromantic demisexual. Funny enough they started out intending to be pansexual, but it just didn't work out. Wasn't fitting for the character, so I went with demi which feels much better. [image] I also have some side characters who are aroace, one being the other main chara…
I haven't done any style changes in ages since my downtime is dedicated to comic stuff, but I've dabbled around before. My usual style, current and 2014: CW: Blood [image] [image] Whatever this style is from 2008-2009. [image] Sorta realism/surrealism 2010 and 2015: [image] [image] Ch…
Just echoing what remiquise said. I'm super anti-artistic censorship. For me the only responsibility an adult author has is to mark their work as 18+, as much as people want the fiction they consume to be neatly organized filtered, it is ultimately their own responsibility to control what they rea…
I haven't done any horror fiction but I used to draw a lot of venty gore and horror stuff, also my current comic has scenes that could border on horror for some folks. It never bothered me, if anything, drawing messed up stuff is rather relaxing. It has the same catharsis or emotional release as s…
Ho yeah! It's like that with almost everything, the average person genuinely doesn't care about suffrage unless they're the one suffering. Or at least most are oblivious and ignorant to it until they're suffering, it's an animal instinct thing that requires rewiring/empathy training to get out of y…
Pff it's like with the US elections. The average person would rather believe the news at face value than dig deeper and do research, or directly watch the full campaign speeches from both parties. Studying is too poopy! Admittedly I don't care as much about Gen AI as the mass majority of artists…
It can be good for color picking and vague thumbnail concepts. I've also seen artists put their own art through to quicken drawing time (Not trace over it, or use as replacements, but similar to concept stuff or using bits to add to a drawing.), I've also seen people with no artistic abilities use …
Lol honestly? Never done sub 4 sub, I'd rather have readers than dead numbers so I normally participate in Q&A, reading events, promote in groups that are more likely to have my audience. The forum is nice to promote on every blue moon, since new people come in sometimes, but the community here has…
I just see protags as "the main character(s)", nothing particularly special. Although I use them like tools, for venting, exploration of different topics, personal exploration, stuff like that. The great thing about fictional characters is that they're fiction, you can do anything you want with th…
Thank you! Yeah, it's color pencil, I'm old school. Never been a fan of drawing digitally.
I love doing mundane scenes, and find them nice as a reader/viewer... although I imagine they're easier to pull off in a visual medium than text since the art or cinematography can carry a lot of the scene. As someone who likes tragedy, human dramas and horror, the mundane is like taking a breath. …
Apollo [image] Vs. Apollo's room (Studio apartment) [image] The guy is kind of a trash hoarder. Other than that he doesn't have a whole lot outside of clothes, a laptop, some furniture and his guitar. Probably would accessorize more if he felt more secure, but right now he's ready for any moment…
That is really tough! Maybe?... Avalanche by Leonard Cohen OR On the Turning Away by Pink Floyd But I have a whole playlist for my comic and characters, so most of these would work for me as a theme song. Edit: Oh! Home by Foo Fighters would be a good theme too.
Ooh, no problem, sorry I couldn't be of use. That stuff is all greek to me. I can see that being a challenge but I'm glad you're figuring things out. Just don't judge folks who don't use alt text too hard, some may have Aphasia or thought disorders that make it hard to communicate with words, ver…
Oh wow, didn't think there was anyone left on here who kept up with my comic. I've been doing good, still in a bind, more busy than ever with work but I just call it Living the American Dream. Lmao! Thank you for the offer! Yeah, I started my comic with print in mind, even if it never got out to…
Fff you should check out Comicfury, most of their webcomics are traditional format due to the site being a dinosaur. While there isn't anything wrong with vertical scroll, a lot of webcomic/webtoon creators don't seem to know how to utilize it where the layout and paneling helps tell the story, so…
Maybe the first couple of times, especially if you make the effort to talk about your story, or communicate with people as another person. This forum is so small you're basically copy/pasting into the void after a while, it's WAY more productive to branch out and promote on social media and partici…
Yes and no. I'm working on a vent story so there are similarities, but I wanted to explore my personal stuff through different lives and experiences. In a way it's me having a conversation with myself, in public, in a way that's hopefully somewhat palatable. I also add in some wish fulfillment st…
My comic is on hiatus, but eh, why not. My comic isn't +18 or +21 because it would get deleted from Tapas (They only allow +17/M-rating at the most, at least for comics since they're a visual medium, don't know about what novels can get away with.), but I do prefer my audience to at least be in th…
Well, uh, I wouldn't call it a romance, but the only main... dating couple comes to an end by the end of my next chapter. When the main character's partner gets arrested. Lol Their "relationship" kinda starts maybe 2-4 years before the story starts, depending on who you're taking to and what you'…
Tapas used to only host comics, so on here they're probably still more popular. People generally like looking at pictures over reading text as well, although on the other hand you can say people take written lit more seriously than comics since socially novels = mature and comics = childish, at lea…
I'm not sure how you feel about webcomics and queer characters, but here are some comics I follow with themes darker than romance and drama.
Ah my comic focuses on dark topics, but it's definitely still just a drama. Lol I'll share some of the dark/horror stuff I read after work, good luck!
