Thanks for this - it's a bit of a minefield, but I know you guys are doing all you can! Keep up the good stuff 
That is a great way of doing it I reckon! My friend makes games and always tries to make something he wants to see in the world. Gotta think that's doing everyone a service by making so many cool things.
I hear ya! The ol' beat it into shape until it feels coherent is a method I often fall into myself
That's cool, I really do think sometimes the best ideas are ones that 'I'd like to read' or something i'm yet to see! I guess it's true when people say the best ideas are ones that you wish you'd came up with!
Hey there's no place like home
I do love it when inspiration suddenly hits like this! Sometimes I find a small trigger like a well worded sentence or a cool sounding name brings up loads of awesome imagery in my mind and from there my mind is just going mad with the possibilities!
That is an awesome story! You could almost make a comic out of the story of you making a comic! I certainly also seemed to almost 'copy' what I'd already seen, I guess when you are young it's so easy to get swept away with things that you are into! I love the idea of occult in space though! And you…
I can identify with this! Sometimes I let things brew a little then they seem to develop on their own until they feel formed enoughto start scribbling!
Nice! I guess it's true inspiration can strike anywhere!
I'm always curious about how different creative individuals 'come up with and develop that initial kernel of an idea - y'know, that spark - the 'lightning bolt jolts you awake in the middle of the night and must write it down immediately' kind of idea. I'm drawn to comics (sorry for the pun) because…
La Dispute are godly! I got really into them last summer - they instantly got themselves into my top 10 ever faves! If you like them you might like Mewithoutyou or listener and a few other similar bands if you don't already!
That plan is the scary one for me! I had a whooole lot of work saved up coming into my first post but then felt pressure (and probably a little overexcited) and started rushing out the next two episodes, so I've almost burned through that precious buffer already! I've only been here a month, i'm enj…
[image] I have to redraw all of the time! Mainly because I plough in stupidly before planning. But this one was part of a fairly crucial scene for me, and I wanted a certain feel, and I just couldn't get the perspective right. I'd probably still redraw given the chance, but hey, you've gotta move o…

Hi guys! I’m new to tapas (and comics in general!) but I just wanted to say how awesome everyone has been in my first week of ‘tapas-ing’ (that’s gotta be a word right?) and how the community seems really positive and welcoming! For someone new like me, and perhaps a little apprehensive about postin…
