Im an exclusive creator on there and so far the editors are not very strict with me at all. In fact they have been really nice and considerate to me even when I submitted files and chpaters late ^^;; My content does deal with a lot of more touchy subjects since it has a focus on mental illness and m…

Experience with WebComics App?

Since they are still in their "growing" years/stage, they are more attentive to their artists and open to suggestions and I even gave them the suggestion of scouting on webtoon discover and tapas for new artists that maybe interested in working with them which may explain the huge influx of emails b…

Experience with WebComics App?

I heard is they are doing the contribution through email thing for now as a form of general quality control (since they have a small staff), but they are looking to eventually just allow users to self-upload content on the app like Webtoon Discover but they have to work out a specific policy for th…

Misery writes interesting stories

I definitely agree on the experience part. I think the more you experience in life, both good and bad, you have more ideas and content to draw from in general and I think this is true for those who hear the experiences and stories of other people as well.

Misery writes interesting stories

While i do believe there is an correlation of sorts between creativity and misery/madness, there is a bell curve where once you get too miserable/ill you can't do anything. I know personally for myself when I am most ill/mentally unstable, I cannot do anything as I have lost all motivation for every…

Would you want people that know you irl to find your comic online?

No. Never. While I wish I can share my comic in real life as it does discuss a lot of very common important issues in mental health especially in regards how it effects me as a student, I simply cannot risk the chance of tarnishing my image. I can try to attempt to say it's based off the experience …

Straight x Gay possible? (Pls give example)

It just doesn't logically make sense as straight (meaning sexually attracted to the opposite sex) would become attracted the the same sex (which is gay). Because if that happened that "straight" character is no longer straight anymore (maybe pansexual or bisexual?) The only way I can see this workin…

What am I doing wrong at LINEWebtoon?

You aren't doing anything wrong, rather your comic isn't "fitting" for the audience you're trying to attract. Webtoon's audience is already known to be over 50% female (some estimates go as far to say 95% is female though I think it's probably more around 80%) and the age range is between 12-25 or s…

What type of Comic that attract more people?

depends on the server as if you want to attract the most readers, you must know the demographics of the users on the site you're trying to attract, it is known that webtoons statically has a reader base that is around 90-95% female around the ages of 12-25. So based on that data alone, romance and…

Where do you stand on mental illness in webcomics?

I think mental illness is fine in comics as long as it is portrayed in a way that does not glorify/romanticize it or make it "sensational". While I think researching the disorder can be ample enough to write a character with mental illness well, sometimes it leads to lacking in the thought process…

Would you rather be faster at producing your comic, or have better quality?

Usually the better you get at your craft, the faster you will produce it since you'll find shortcuts, and certain techniques etc to speed the process up while maintaining reasonable quality. But still, I'd like to be faster so maybe i can make more buffers

How do you feel when someone copied your work and made it as a "fan art" for you?

Honestly I don't worry about it too much since the person usually does it with no intention of ill will and just wants to show their love for your work. I think it gets remotely concerning when the said copied fanart work was being profited off of somehow/passed off as 100% their own work. Of course…

Art critic! Post your art here

I would like some art critique! I have finished this painting recently and for some reason something feels off about it, like the image in my head of what I wanted to draw doesn't completely match with what I really drew. I know sometimes I can be a little too self-critical at times but it'd be nice…

I believe so. When they found me I was already publishing it on Line Webtoon though I'll admit my comic hasn't gone too far into the story yet. I also noticed there is a comic on there called "No Way" by Lay-lo and it has already 100 something chapters on webtoons and they still signed non-exclusive…

I actually had a online meeting with the CEO about global outreach/marketing and he says that WebComics is looking for a variety of comics so it does not have to be in the anime/manga style(though comics in the anime/manga style are generally more popular with the readers) What matters to them when…

Yea sure. What are your questions?

How do you take criticism/advice?

Naturally criticism would make any creator feel slightly uncomfortable or even hurt as we spend a lot of time trying to create a quality product to be considered "good". Usually I would take criticism with a grain of salt with some petty small insignificant details like remarks on the style of art b…

I need some comics that are about depression

My comic has a heavy focus on the thoughts emotions and stigmas depression and suicide have as well as other issues. It's heavily based off of my personal experiences in mental health as well as the experiences of other people I met throughout my years in treatment. It used to be on tapas and webtoo…

Maybe I'm not in the best position to say this as I got recognized as an honorable mentions in the contest, I would say even if you didn't win, it could be an overall rewarding experience being able to finally get your story and ideas out there on the comic in itself. If you want to create a new ser…

Show Your Art Improvement!

My art was so bad when I first started (and my formatting wasn't that great either) this was in 2014 with my first hand trying comic/manga art [image] now this is my art around 4 years later 2018 [image] It's a huge improvement in quality. But now I cringe and want to delete all of my old stuff…

Actually I am not too surprised by the outcome and here is why. This outcome massively benefits Line from a financial business standpoint. By choosing only one extremely popular series to be a winner and the rest as not very well known, they have made a pool of featured creators where if they do acc…

I agree. Purple hyacinth will definitely be in the top 8 no doubt. With how heavily they promoted the series (5 or 6 times? I lost count but it was a lot. The most I've ever seen), and the amount of subscribers it garnered as well as likes, views and comments, it definitely set the bar high for popu…

yeah! My friend has this really cool historical thriller based on the black death so I decided to team up with her and draw. It's definitely not easy to get an audience in the most gripping category since the readership drawn to those genres are so much smaller than compared to romance or fantasy…

wow I'm looking at all the entries and there are so many good ones! This competition will definitely be tough and will only get more difficult once July comes (cause I saw a lot of creators are planning on posting during that month) But hopefully the contest will remain in good spirits with not too …

Jun 26, '18

I agree. I believe that their weeding out process will first begin with the art style or the cover. Either they like it or they don't. Then they'll move on to the first episode post and see how the art and paneling along with story telling works (and checking to see how well it fits the vertical scr…

What job do you work at other than create comics?

I'm currently a university student, Chemistry major doing premed (Cause secretly inside I want to become a professional fulltime artist but financially it is just not that viable so I'm going for doctor instead because sadly i have a higher chance of becoming a physician than an artist on a comfort…

Can I see some of your awesome covers?

I have changed my cover like 4 times xD ( I do a new cover for every 10k subs on webtoons (minus the second cover change, that was at 5k) and here they are in order [image] [image] [image] [image]
