Help me figure out why I’m so slow

It sounds like you've done the hardest part, which is planning it all out. Now you just gotta do the time consuming part and render the dang thing. -Personally I like to listen to a podcast or a long youtube vid while I render because it keeps my brain engaged. rendering is just such monotonous (b…

Failed Projects: Take Down or Leave Up

If they ain't hurtin' anyone (including yourself), I say keep em up. although I will add maybe put a Postface at the end or something, so people aren't waiting with bated breath. it doesn't have to be anything fancy, just 'I'm not interested in this anymore and I want to move on' is fine. I just …

So I made a little survey

Hi! so I made a little survey about the kinds of things people would be willing to put money on (like stickers, pins subscriptions, that sort of thing). I was going to limit it to people who read my comic, but I only got like two results... so now I'm trying to open it to a more general consensus!! …

How do you like to look at reference while you draw?

It depends, If it's a specific pose or color reference, then I paste it into the document. but if it's like a character sheet or a generic animal pic I bring it up on my phone so I don't have to keep flipping it on and off.

Drawing Tips :D

Yeah I'll give a few tips: -gesture drawing websites are good for understanding the human form, but drawing people in real life situations is better for understanding human behavior. (like different outfits, how are they sitting, how are they carrying themselves, are they alone or with people) -mo…

Stalled Ad Revenue?

Yeah, I don't know the specific mechanics to getting ad revenue, but I think it has something to do with the amount of impressions you get in a day (or month maybe?? I'm really grasping at straws here >.<) all I know is that when my daily view count gets over like 90-100 I usually get a cent the n…

Stalled Ad Revenue?

Yeah, I was getting ad revenue for around 100 impressions a day (which was around 2000 a month and averaged about 20 cents), but this month I got nothing : /

Should I post my comic on more than one site?

-especially when you're starting out, it's best to be everywhere potential readers can be. -"tasteful but not offensive" probably just means like be mindful of the context of the scene. like you don't have to show every gory detail of an antagonist kicking a puppy (you can imply that scene), but l…

Stalled Ad Revenue?

Has anyone else not been getting ad revenue this month? like normally for this amount of ad impressions: [image] i would have gotten a couple cents by now. Did something change when they rolled out the new format or something? Edit: Okay so it seems like revenue is still happening, but it's jus…

When to give up?

Off Topic

Just remember that you still gain more experience from trying and dropping a project than if you had never tried in the first place, and the work you did isn't invalid just because it's unfinished. gains are gains!!

Which is your favourite panel from your Webcomic?

This is my favorite fairly recent panel because I thought it conveyed my character's sort of mental state before revealing that she was in fact crying (I also had to cry for reference lol) [image]

How do you find a new motivation for your art?

I'll admit I did struggled a LOT with motivation, especially through college. I would often pick profitable Ideas over Ideas that I would actually want to do. Which always ended with me working on a project juuust long enough for the semester to end (along with the praise that came with it) and I wo…

Cannot think of anything, AT ALL

-it might help to set up a single conflict that needs to get resolved and think about how your character(s) would go about fixing said problem (ex: your oc spills hot soup on themselves. do they try to napkin it up? run straight to the bathroom? what do??) -and I will tell you, Most people don't w…

Does tapas take your ad rev away if you dip below 100 subs?

I'm just wondering because I'm sitting dangerously low to the 100 sub bar, and I'd really hate to have to start over again >.< (I mean I only have like 4 cents, but I still earned those dang it!!) I couldn't find the answer on the forums, has anyone gone through this?

Is Romance still in the Genre of Romance if it all ends in Tragedy?

I guess it depends on the content of the story. like if the story's focus is the romance of a relationship and one of them ends up dying before 'the end', that doesn't make the romantic times they had before that point any less romantic. (in fact sometimes it makes it more romantic.) Personally I'…
