Probably give up and get eaten. I’m mean it’s easy to say it like this, here from my comfy couch, but surviving a hoard of zombies and the fall of society sounds like such a hassle. Heck, I’m already getting frustrated dealing with the living in a (somewhat) intact society, with access to shelter a…

Why is that people drop out of high school?

I was about to drop out of high school (if you could use that term in Germany :)) because I was bullied and going to school was basically mental (and sometimes physical) torture. I still had nightmares of that time until only a couple years ago... Parents and teachers didn't give a fuck and I didn'…

Who influenced your art style?

I’d say Eiichiro Oda, Rumiko Takahashi and Yoshihiro Togashi Strangely enough, although I was a die hard fan of Oda and Togashi, I kinda grew distant to their work. However some similarities to their art is in my artstyle, mostly in design and expressions. Rumiko Takahashi tho....I’m somewhat lukewa…

What's your latest frustration with making comics?

Current comic frustration: I feel rather competent about my art and my skills and seeing how much I drew, even just the past month, always makes me happy. But, yesterday I browsed through older episodes (talking 6+ months old) and...there is just so much wrong with it. Mistakes I don’t remember doin…

Should I give up on this art style...?

I like the second style, it’s very pretty and cute and if you are more comfy drawing like this I’d go for it. Drawing comics is hard work, but if you can keep it fun for yourself it’s a win-win. Dunno, if you can’t merge the styles, just go with whatever is more pleasant for you. I think readers wil…

Exactly. I understand that the two characters were estranged and therefore All Might would’ve not really talked a lot about him and such. But he was still an important part of his past and a well known hero. It would’ve been cool if he appeared prior in some ways so that viewers/readers could establ…

-‘Love Live! Sunshine’ is better than the first ‘Love Live!’ series, due to more realistic and relatable characters, better music and the whole plot appeared more realistic (well, in the world of LL!, I mean xD) -!Spoiler! MHA: Nighteye was a throwaway character who was just brought into the serie…

Do comic artists buy 3D models? Or do they only use free ones?

Both, I buy 3D models and material and I look for free ones. Whatever is available and affordable for me Also, currently I'm working on a traditional comic that will transition into a digital comic by mid 2022 (so it's a bit off still). When thinking about that I was indeed (and still am) consideri…

How will you handle time travel?

Events | Challenges

I like how they handled it in ‘Steins Gate’, where it’s not the physical person but their mind that gets transferred into the past, into their younger selfs. That’s, to me personally, the most rational way to approach time travel (at least into the past. Into the future it might be a bit trickier ) …

Webtoon support didnt replied to my email?

I applied with an episode for the reward ads. It was declined due to violations of their guidelines (sex, violence or hate speech) Thing was, the episode had non of these....well, maybe a bit of sexual tension. But, aside of the ‘close to kiss’ motion with a bit of blush there was nothing sexual goi…

Webtoon support didnt replied to my email?

Be patient. I had an issue with the reward ads recently and they didn’t get back to me for nearly two weeks (meanwhile I solved the issue myself xD) I think they currently are low on staff or perhaps have a lot of inquiries. Seems like the censor-hammer is coming down quite often atm. So maybe they …

I tried SJ, but I was unable to log in from my iPad (despite password and username being correct). That pretty much killed the site for me right there. It’s sad to see it go fir everyone who actually was able to fully use the site. But it also kinda shows what’s about to happen if you ignore the nee…

Anyone else notice their comic updates becoming longer as time goes on?

Same here. My main comic is a strip, and since we stick to the Newspaper strip width there is no significant change when I convert those into the scrolling format. However, my second comic, which is kinda ‘whatever goes’, started with 6-12 panels per episode/joke. Nowadays my episodes have on avera…

Can you get shadowbanned on Webtoon?

I assume you were promoted on the app or in some list, and now you aren’t anymore. Therefore, you don’t have as much traffic as you did previously. Bleeding subs after promotion is normal too. I lost several dozens of subs after being on and then off the front page. I assume people see your comic, s…

Too many episodes?!

I’m a daily comic strip creator and do my comic for almost four years. Currently I’m having 1000+ episodes on Webtoons (around 300+ on Tapas, since I scheduled them different here) And I’m not even the longest comic. There are a couple other strips that have even more entries. Granted, I’m a strip a…

Do free webcomics hurt the industry?

I meant the person you quoted, since their quote was the original statement this thread is based of. Sorry for not pointing it out clearly ^^”

Do free webcomics hurt the industry?

I disagree with that statement. At least mostly. Yes, there is a chance that people rather read free stuff than looking for paid content. But, every comic or IP in general is different and unique, even those which have similar premises. If I want to read ‘One Piece’ by Oda I have to pay in order to…

How to prevent decline of engagement on webtoon?

There is nothing really you can do about this. As it was mentioned, older episodes are seen by more people and often liked more. Also, people tend to ‘like’ the first episode of a new series more in support of the creator. Later they just read them without necessarily hitting the like button. Als…

Art Memes You Can’t relate to

I can’t relate to the hoarding ones anymore either. But I did once. When I started to have some money to actually afford art supplies, I really hoarded them like crazy. Nowadays I feel like I’m better off with a rather limited supply (let alone That most of my art is done digitally nowadays, too) …

Art Memes You Can’t relate to

[image] I actually really loathe this one, tbh. Dunno but it sounds like ‘YoU aRe No ReAl ArTisT uNLeSs...’ Which is another thing in artist’s meme I dislike. I also cannot relate to the artblock or ‘pain and suffering to find motivation to draw/find ideas’-memes. I mean, I have my down days to…

Anyone have a crush on their own character?

Yep, I have a crush on all my main characters, even the female ones, and I’m not gay or bi-sexual. I just really love the living daylight out of them. And I don’t mean it in a parental way ^^ Granted, I’d rather think of them getting love dovey with their SO. But I also really enjoy seeing/drawing t…

Preferred way to read a 4-panel comic?

I create my strips in B (which is best for drawing and printing, imo) For online publishing I reformate them into C. it is the best way there since a panel fills out the whole screen and things are easy to see/read even on cellphones. A was probably popular for social media such as FB or Twitter, …

Does Profanity Offend You? (POLL)

Personally speaking, I’m not fond of profanity. I’m not clutching my pearls if someone drops the f-bomb or says ‘shit’ once in a while. But I tend to shy away from people who drop profanities like confetti all over the place. Especially when combined with constant rants or angry speech. Profanities …
