I've just gotten Life in the Hallows on its feet - it took a little while to figure out the style I'm shooting for, and to get the details set for the opening to the story. I'm trying to avoid a lot of stereotypes with characters and action, and to really give Tapastic something new. Also, we can't …
Well, I feel ya - views and followers are hard commodities, it seems. Is it alright if my swordsmen are human minds locked in mechanical shells designed to keep the peace in a country where cyclops wait behind you in the grocery store line? If so, Superbia might be worth a look. (No swords to be see…
Hey man! I realize there's not a whole lot to work with on my comic Superbia so far, but I'd love for you to check it out! Basically, the creatures of the world's mythologies live side-by-side in a present-day atompunk supercountry called Superbia, where human rights have become human-only rights, a…
I care most about my Followers. It shows that people think the story is worth seeing on a daily basis, and that they're interested enough to pursue it. I think participating here on the forums is huge, as it should be - it really encourages a sense of community here. At the onset of a comic, each fo…
Honestly, Superbia took about a year just to develop the characters, species, and the way their world and country works. The two or three months prior to beginning work on the comic itself were ones where the story went through a lot of different ideas and drafts. Originally it was going to be much …
I just want Superbia to grow and become something that people really love and care about. Just in the tiny number of followers I have there are already active commenters, and I would love to see the audience, invested or not, grow. It's something I've really put a bit of my soul into, I guess, and I…
I'd be free from the lines, man. The mobile format on Tapastic is so condensed already, the fewer boundaries you impose, the better.
The first time someone ever said my comic was awesome. It's a huge confidence boost knowing that someone, somewhere, loves what you're doing and wants to see more of it. For a very new comic like mine, it really puts down those second-thoughts of 'what did I start'? and 'can I really keep this up?' S…
Well, while we're all proudly displaying the tales we've weaved, I have to show you Superbia. It follows three non-humans - a teenage girl with horns and a fiery temper, an Atlas Bear who runs his own tow company, and a mushroom who collects magical antiques - trying to make it in the atompunk super…
Latest from Superbia, an urban fantasy story about non-humans struggling to make it in an atompunk supercountry. Please take a look! [image]
I absolutely love it here - I've never found a site as welcoming or encouraging to creators as Tapastic is. Congratulations on 30 subs! That's awesome, and I hope you continue to grow like crazy!
[image] \ I warn you, I'm all for making a random Aloe Vera a ridiculously important plot point (or is it potted plant?)
I was born in Alaska, lived for almost a decade in Germany, and now make my home above a tiny breakfast cafe on the rocky shores of New York. I can see Canada over the water.
There's three main characters for my comic Superbia, and they're certainly all quite different. Superbia is a modern-day supercountry with some atompunk tendencies, inhabited by humans, who built the country, and non-humans, who are often seen as foreign and alien pests to be removed. [image] Pe…
Definitely @shauniredfearn and @shaneoid77 - they're the best, and I hope to see others before long.
Honestly, pen and paper are kind of my preferred methods for coming up with concepts and new things, but I don't feel like it would work as well for a webcomic. I started Superbia to improve my digital art skills, so it gives me something new and challenging to work on! [image] [image]
My comic Superbia went between a number of genres when I first started it. It's an Urban Fantasy story about mythological creatures in the modern day, so Fantasy was one option, but there's a good deal of Action, and Drama is honestly most of the story. It came down to which genre fit it best, and w…
I created Superbia to push my limits! The first strip was the first time I'd ever used Photoshop - it's crazy to see how much I've improved just in the last few weeks. I also wanted to create a story that doesn't have clear-cut villains, which is a first for me. Everyone has some good and bad to the…
These wizards are the most gorgeous creature I have ever seen on this site. Absolutely amazing work. bows and applauds
Since Superbia's a setting with characters that range wildly in appearance and culture living alongside average American/Superbian humans, I wanted the main character to represent some of those differences, but also the things that everyone has in common regardless of where they come from. Petra Sla…
Superbia. The creatures of the world's mythologies live alongside humans in an atompunk supercountry. Petra Slade, a young Nain Rouge with horns and a fiery temper, is thrown into schemes and machinations far beyond her comprehension. Trying to keep her alive are Mycelia 'Micah' Magorius, a sentient…
Probably Overlay and Vivid Light layers, for me! Overlay layers are beautiful things (if maybe overused) because it lets you add contrast and color more subtly than you typically could, and kind of unifies the drawing. I actually used a dark blue/purple layer for Mycelia 'Micah' Magorius' face in th…
Welcome to Superbia, where the creatures of the world's mythologies live side-by-side with humans in the modern day. A teenage girl with horns, a mushroom who collects antiques, and a bear who tows supersized vehicles on Superbia's gigantic roadways have to work together in the face of a growing dar…
I have conflicted feelings. I love deaths that are grand and sad and beautiful, but at the same time, death is rarely like that. Often it's sudden and unexpected and leaves kind of a hollow feeling from what's been ripped out. I tend to mix it up a little as a result. For characters the audiences kn…
Here's the main character from my comic, Superbia! [image] Petra's a 16-year-old Nain Rouge - the species responsible for many legends surrounding devils and demons. Really, they're not bad people at all, but good luck convincing the general human populace that. Thrown into adventures out of he…
Holy cow, dude. You really took this to an all-new level. Personally, I tend to research a lot of worldbuilding questionnaires and techniques, and adopt things that I've seen in real life too - getting a basic feel for where everything is, but allowing for smaller details to be added in later depend…
Also, an 'Overlay' layer will let you add subtle colors - a reddish or bluish tint, for instant, depending on where she is or what the lighting around her happens to be. It's a simple way to add complexity in color to a drawing.
I decided to do my comic, Superbia, in full color as something of an experiment - most of my work prior was nothing but black and white. I try to pick colors that work together, and to re-use colors when I can to avoid using too many contrary ones. The characters' colors working with the world aroun…
Guys, all of you have such amazing villains. It's awesome to have them collected here in one thread.
