Hello everyone!
Currently working on Draconids, the other comics on my page are finished. I just didn't update it at the time. I'll have to do that sooner or later.

I have Patreon where I post basically all my art and not only my comic's early access pages etc.

Tried publishing company already, not comic wise tho. I applied for book illustrator. No luck there. However if I ever decide to publish my comic in some point in the future I'd do print on demand. Publishing companies have crazy deadlines and you receive mnimal cuts from the sales. Ofc this depend…

Updated on the 31st of August. Was away with family but was able to schedule it to update on time. Here's the new chapter.

First of all congrats for your achievements and anniversary. I've been posting on tapas since 2016. Started my current project in 2019. I am very greatful for the few people who comment and leave a like and have been following my work. I always plan something for the comic anniversary but I end u…

Bro I wish. But it isn't simple and you need a LOT of luck. I've been in the art industry trying to go full time freelancer for over 10 years :laughing:

Here's mine. It's Dark Fantasy, does have medieval aspects to it but focuses mostly on fantasy since it has dragons and creatures and such.

Here's mine. Where ancient Dragons are considered Gods. It's slow paced but with meaty chapters.

I do have the script of the first arc done. However, drawing the comic itself is what takes most of the time.

Oop, don't mind if I do. My favorite genre is so underated here, creating a community seems like an excelent idea. Imagine the problems of our world but somehow set in a Fantasy story with dragons, I don't know how to explain without spoilering the story. It's currently on hiatus but I have the ne…

I agree with you. I started by doing fan art comics when I could barely draw people (I mainly drew animals and dragons until my University time then I decided I needed to do something about it if I wanted to do comics). Drawing these characters multiple times was the main reason I improved so much i…

I graduated Illustration in University. Never got a job at the field and it's been 5 years since I graduated. I do have one or two commissions a year but that's it regarding arts. I personally didn't have a good experience, my 3rd year teacher told me my art sucked and if I didn't change my style …

The fastest I can do a page from sketch to inking and editing is in 3 days minimum if I'm free! Kudos for him to have been able to keep it up for a while.

Daily updates? Didn't know those were a thing. A big no no on my part but interesting nonetheless.

You have good points. As far as doable to me is updating it occasionaly, basically whenever a chapter is done. I do prefer to wait a few months before checking the updates of the comics I follow for the same reason. Big brain. Updated.

Oh that's a good idea. Adding a small summary of what has happened before or until that point in the story.

I personaly don't find it nsfw. I mean, you can try and if you don't get any warniing keep going.

Would you consider a bi weekly update enough? (in your situation ofc) for example, 5 pages every 2 weeks or something?

Yes! My comic is a Fantasy themed one so there is some fighting and action happening. I think weekly posting would break the flow like you refered. Unless I post 50/50? I do have shorter chapters that I tend to finish pretty fast but once there are larger chapters it tends to be hard posting monthly…

I wonder, does this aply for specific themes of a comic? When I refer to monthly updates I mean a good chunk of content, around 15-pages, maybe more. However since you reas in in short breaks I understand your point of view.

I do have the same opinion. As a reader myself, I prefer to wait until there is a considerable amount of pages before I go back to that one comic to binge read it. That's what bothers me a bit, the engagement. Ofc I draw the comic for fun since it's a project I have been working on for about 4/5 yea…

Hello everyone and thank you for stopping by. I haven't updated my comic for over 1 year due to personal issues. However, I want to get back into it. What I want to ask is what do you, as a reader of other comics prefer? Monthly updates Weekly page. I personaly prefer the full chapter updat…

Updated on its 1 year anniversary. Dark Fantasy comic where Dragons are considered Gods. Slow paced but what's important is that the dog gets all the pats.
