Hey there, I draw comics. Specifically one about delinquents. Check it out if you've got the time!
Share your discord, lets be discord buds! Here is mine: https://discord.com/invite/kjQqP3T4rT
UM your art is INCREDIBLE. Thank you for sharing so now I can read yours also 
Also you can FOR SURE buy a book, I would be so thrilled! They are on my website for sale now: https://whiskersclub.us/products/enix-sanctum-vol-1-hardcover-graphic-novel-pre-order
(I sell plushies and other stuff to…
Sure! I'll save the email. Thank you so much! 🫶🏼
I checked out and loved the website. I would love to have you in contact for a future website I want to do for a comic. Also, just a note: You should disable the right-click option completely so people cannot copy the images and paste them into places like Canva to download.
Commenting so I keep up with the future comments, and turn of events.
[image] They want to make the characters look cute and attractive, hence they added the features that they consider cute or attractive. The fact that those are Caucasian features or if the anime mimics Caucasian because Japanese wants to be want are rather Western interpretation. Edit: tried …
It would cost me $3700 to print and ship 500 books to myself (so this doesnt even include cost to ship to buyer), each with 180 full color pages on Mixam. So that's ~$7.50 a book. I'd need to sell it at $15- 20 atleast to cover my cost and labor+ make a little profit. On a related note, does a…
The Bongcheon-Dong Ghost, i still vividly remember that one but it's definitely among the earliest instances i can recall outside of self hosted webcomics on individual websites
@moontokkym Thank you for your thoughts 
I'd say that many artists do have it exactly the same way because once you get into drawing and let's say you do it freelance, then you are not left with so much time left to consume the anime and stuff like you used to when you were still a so called "fan". …
About two and a half months ago, I was stuck in a writer’s block from hell. Ironically, it was just during NaNoWriMo, the first one that happened while I knew what NaNoWriMowas was and during which I was finally writing after years of telling myself I couldn’t. I even set myself a goal for that mont…
It's hard. As somebody who has managed to scrape a modest following (not enough that it pays my bills or anything, but enough that my comic makes a bit of money on the side) the one thing I'll say about modern webcomics is that they're not like old webcomics at all. Old Webcomics were like... you …
Why are people always asking this question about anime art styles, but you never see anyone say "how come people like disney art so much?" which also features characters with big eyes, oversized heads, small noses and mouths and smooth faces. People like manga-derived art because simple, cartoonis…
I really hope the Tapas team is telling the truth because I don't want to go through the ache of what happened with SmackJeeves again. But just in case and I believe in healthy competition, I want to remind people of ComicFury. It's a place where you can create your own personal webcomic site (unlik…
Welp Kakao has already secured around 40% of the total shares and are aiming for management rights just to fight with Webtoon on the U.S. market who is controlled by Naver corp.
If Tapas don't keep their heads cool we could potentially loose the platform to a silly fight over money and power 
Interested, but also worried. Plenty of webcomic vets should remember the tragedy of smackjeeves and be just a bit worried too. For those not in the know, the new owners changed so much of how SJ worked that every comic artist fled the site, causing it to go belly up months later. I hope tapas m…
I like both themes, but I feel more affected by stories that show cast overcoming hardships/discrimination in unaccepting societies.
I'm obviously in the minority here, but as a lesbian myself I vastly prefer media where the existence of homophobia is acknowledged and addressed. It doesn't have to be the primary focus of the work or even a major theme necessarily, but world that are completely free of any discrimination feel.. fa…
I'm personally fond of a Black prince and White witch. Media often associates witchcraft as negative and by grace of negative, dark and then you have a black person. Or you get a White prince and a poc who breaks their back in 'servitude' for the White higher being. I'm not saying yours is any kind …
https://www.smackjeeves.com/notice/36 [image] I laugh but it's hard to really enjoy it. NHN is too big for this fail to matter. As far as they are concerned they just removed competition. What little effort they put into this was to strip the parts people loved about SmackJeeves. Edit: Added s…
That's interesting, I can totally feel the cartoon vibe ahah. The story and world is very dark and creepy to me, but I really like the color process, good job ! The characters are super nice too, you introduced them quite naturally ! I like the fact that there are plenty of characters that all…
Bold of you to assume we are sane.
Yes, I will definitely be checking some of these out, including yours. 
I also use steam, though not as much as itch. I go rather slow as well when it comes to VNs, mainly for the same reason as you.
Thank you. It is fun and the planning stage is coming along nicely. My writer is great. I hope …
I wanted to practice arm and torso anatomy through animating, it was actually really helpful! [image]
MWAHAHA MY TIME HAS COME. MY ENTIRE WEBCOMIC IS ANIMATED. *dumps here almost all 300 pages of dreamDB* nah, but look at a few panels: [image] [image] [image] [image] yes, this is the actual content and not extras [:sip:]
Woof, that was one hell of a thread. Well I am in agreement with a lot of you in this thread once again. A great writer can write almost whatever the hell they want and get away with it. Writing is a craft, and the craft will usually determine whether or not the story was shit. I think that a go…
A good writer can write stories from their viewpoint, a GREAT writer can write stories about experiences other than what they've gone through. People bitch and whine we don't have enough representation and then throw a hissy fit when ever we do get it and the creator gasp is straight/white/cis. I'm …
and they're right (- _-) ..... damn it
I'd like to actually address this seeing as how my post was used in this reply. I highly doubt Michael or any of the staff are out to "get" the creators who aren't contracted. The harsh reality of it is that they're obviously going to advertise the creators that are contracted because these are t…
Okay, speaking as a gay dude who's been right smack in the center of this very conversation for pretty much the entirety of his career, I want to weigh in. There's nothing wrong with anyone writing characters that aren't like them in real life. It's patently ludicrous to have a problem with people…

I'll clear this up because yeah, it can be confusing that I include characters/character development and even story arcs that could fall under the 'BL' category, and I certainly don't want to come off as a 'say one thing and do the other' type. I do not hate all BL, but I do hate some of it, in fact…
