I think my time currently is 5-8 hours for a page depending on the complexity. This, of course, does not count the time where I get distracted during the work process.XD

Tea or Coffee? (What do you drink to stay awake?)

I'm 100% tea myself. Coffee used to give me headaches, not so much anymore but I'd rather have a hot cup of tea of hot chocolate =u=. I'm really in to strong flavored teas like oolong or jasmine or anything with a hint of mint in it. Tea time is a very integral part of my day.

Self-promotion, works or not?

One thing I see a lot of people fall into just starting out with self-promo is shouting into the void with a link to their comic and a blurb about it and that's it. It's not bad to do that but by itself it really gets you nowhere fast. You've got to be actively engaging with other people like @AnnaL…

SAI Vs Photoshop

I use Photoshop and Clip/Manga Studio 5. Both are really great programs but I enjoy using MS for my inking.

Post your 'Thank You' images!

lol...once I reached over 1k subs in a short amount of time it became impossible for me to keep up with thanking all my subs but I did have this cute thank you image when I did used to thank people individually.=u= [image]

My thoughts on the value of getting in the zone

sigh I wish I could get in the zone more often but I'm forced to work in 2hr or less spurts so getting in the zone is difficult. I cherish the days were I can work on a piece for 5 or more hours straight.;A;/

❄ Tapastic Winter Fest 2015 - Day 25❄ [FINALE]

Haha oh dear, it was really a trip getting this little extra comic done but it was worth it! I'm so greatful to @CyndiFoster and @noxfox for organizing this really awesome collaboration and keeping everyone on task. The funniest part of working on the winterfest comic was being able to draw some o…

When is the Tapastic support link going to get removed from my page?

That's weird, I know the button is still there but so far I've checked and clicking it only leads back to the creator's profile page. Maybe they're still working on removing the support pages for some artists.

So how many of you use redbubble?

Off Topic

The appeal of Redbubble is that you get a percentage of sales without having to make or ship the product yourself. That's the main trade off and it isn't so bad since all you have to do is the up front of preparing files. Though, it is pretty hard to sell original stuff if you've got no design exper…

Are there any girls interested in Shonen titles?

All of them. probably, haha. My list of top picks: eyeshield 21, FMA, My hero Acadamia, Bleach (though, just the first couple of arcs), Naruto (not so much now but def a favorite growing up), One Punch Man, Jing King of Bandits, Inuyasha, Dogs (but that's more of a seinen title as mentioned by som…

What kind of music do you use to get in the zone?

For me, I just listen to MEGALOVANIA on repeat from the undertale soundtrack or HOPES AND DREAMS. Just. Undertale. yes.

Intuos Pro vs the Cintiq

If I were you, it would probably be wiser to invest in $70-100 dollar tablet (like the intuos line) first and get used to working on that for maybe a year. A cintiq is a heavy investment, and it'd probably be better to save that money until you're financially stable once more. I still use my intuos …

Looking for a comic book to study its pacing

I would highly suggest the Saga graphic novel published by image. It's pretty great. Watchmen is also a comic with good pacing.

Help... I've been on hiatus for too long

I had to stop updating my own comic for like 6 months so you're already better then me in the update spectrum.

Any creators going to Long Beach Comic Con? :3

I might be going as an attendee! I wasn't able to snag a table since I waited to long to apply, haha. I don't know if you remember me from deviantart but hi.C:

Guest comic protocol

Usually an artist will have a call for guest comics ahead of time. It's usually a good idea to follow artists and see if they have a open call for guest strips. Though some artists just ask their other comic friends. It's good to be vigilant for opprotunities though.:)

Paying an artist=bad?

I would think that it is perfectly fine if you have the capital and someone is willing to work with you. It's common enough in the comics world.

I'm curious how I got this message from Tapastic

Off Topic

Eh, I try to update every week so I haven't gotten this message yet. I would think it would give some people anxiety about updating, haha...it would definitely make me feel anxious.

What kind of program do you use?

I use Photoshop CC and Clip Studio together to make my comic pages. Both are really great programs. I generally use photoshop for sketching and coloring while I use Clip for my inks. I would also suggest getting clip studio while it's on sale. It has quite a few interesting features I haven't tried …

Hello, I see that you've already got a ton of other comics in line for review but uh, I hope it's not too much to add mine to the bunch. You can start from the beginning here. Thanks in advance.=v=b

Traditional or Digital

I'm mainly digital but I love to dabble in traditional inks and colors from time to time. Both have their pros and cons, being able to utilize both is probably a good thing.
