Any misery-enabled artists out there?
Questions

It's so nice to see how many other people hate STARTING a page. It's murder. I don't know why I put it off. I'm usually pretty happy once I'm in the zone but the act of sitting down to the blank page is maddening. I paced around the house for an hour yesterday before starting.

Do you ever forget how to draw your own OCs?
Questions

I don't normally have trouble with specific details, like which side of a character's face is scarred, but I have entire days where they're inconsistent in broad strokes. Stuff like height and shape face. It isn't that I've forgotten either. My brain knows exactly what they should look like. My hand…

What inspires you to keep your comic going?
Questions

Honestly? Keeps me from going crazy. I share it because if I didn't, it would all feel a little pointless. I committed to writing one book a few years ago. I finished it and got depressed again so I started another one. This is just my life now.

What are some good tags?

That's interesting. I never thought to use them as a kind of alt text.

What are some good tags?
Questions

Been thinking about this for a while. Aside from the obvious, like genre and subject matter, what more generalized tags make effective search terms? Everywhere else I post, it's obvious. Hashtag "webcomics." Hashtag "comicart." And so forth. But on Tapastic, that's implied. Genre is already listed…

So, how much do you compromise for your readers?
Art | Comics

"Compromise" to me would be trying to reach an audience that was never going to be on board with Andy Christ's dark humor anyway. Like, it's what it says on the tin, you're going to like it or you're going to hate me. But I am trying to consider the reader's feelings every step of the way, which I…

Corrupt-A-Wish!
Off Topic

Having not experienced true loss for far too long, you grow insulated and content, cut off from the harsher whims of fate, and indeed, the rest of human experience. You--and everyone you've ever cared about--remain exactly as you are now, snapshots frozen in time. There is no more pain. You never gr…

Christian Themes and Thought Provocation
Promotions

I don't know if this is a recent development but it's always seemed to me there's a big divide between "CHRISTIAN" media and media that happens to have Christian themes. In other words, The Chronicles of Narnia is a great story from a Christian's point of view. C.S. Lewis did not set out to nurtur…

I just started releasing pages from my fifth book. Andy Christ is about a little boy named Andy, the devil’s six-year-…

Questions

I hope I didn't misunderstand. When I say "buffer," I do mean a completed book. My books run from 24-32 pages and I'm not confident to post anything until they're all finished.

Completing Comic
Questions

I can't imagine not working with a buffer. I'm getting better with time management but there are just so many pages that take twice as long as I think they should. More importantly though, I need to tinker with it before I release. I usually sit on finished books for two weeks before letting the w…
