I guess the pro with doing historical fantasy is that the plot isn't affected by current events at all, lol I do believe story-telling reflects the thoughts and values of the time and place it was written, though. Having a diverse cast was already important to me, but I'm currently thining on how …
Being a story set in the far off future, I would say probably not. It will definitely influence my writing and perception of similar events. Guess I'll self-plug while I'm here lol
The Amazement Comics universe is directly tied to all real world events. I've already done one bit of concept art that has to do with the coronavirus and another about BLM. As far as changing the direction overall? Not likely. The coronavirus will pass us by as long as we all pull through it. Let's …
I had to change a crucial story element of one of my books that isn't on Tapas now, and I had to do some edits to my romance book that is on here due to some current events. I won't say what things though lol
honestly I changed the ending to make it happier because everything right now is just too damn depressing.
I can't imagine it changing my comic as I've been writing it for years. But 2020 definitely effected my comic in the way that it's actually becoming a comic now and not just a story in my head. They say Covid doesn't really affect the strong and able bodied all that badly. Welp turns out I'm not as…
It wouldn't affect the future direction, but it will affect the reception of it when the themes would come up. The short comic I'm working on takes place in Japan in the year 2015. It heavily involves the police, and the two main characters just happen to have darker skin than most of the cast. T…
The more gruesome effects of 2020 were already somehow in my comic. So I wouldn't say the direction changed, just how much I could make my characters suffer. Through this first hand experience I guess I'll be able to channel more horribleness into my comic 
I kinda realized how horrid some of my sto…
I think that, like in your case, the themes that could be powered by 2020 events were already in my comic, so in my case it's made me realize how real the decadence of humanity can always be felt. For sure it will be a way from now on to not only depict my fears about future humanity, but also refle…
My comic Splitting Image has always dealt with subjects of thinking things are "too late" to fix, not wanting status quo to change when it needs to change, and there's a magical plague in the backstory - so if anything, it's actually given me a lot of first-hand material, especially on a LOT of self…
Current events are definitely coloring my story a bit. I'm still in the midst of planning how the last arc of Devour plays out. Being a story about werewolves and humans it ended up having themes of discrimination and bias. The way I was initially writing it involved someone realizing their discri…
I incorporated the pandemic/quarantine into my comic in a small way. The comic was always set slightly in the future with a past event that took place in early 2020, so I included masks in the flashback as well as a quarantine joke at another point to show that the characters had lived through it an…
(THIS IS AN OLD THREAD. MOST OF THESE TIPS NO LONGER APPLY TO TAPAS. I'M KEEPING THESE UP SINCE IT WORKS FOR OTHER SITES) I've been a creator on Tapastic for about about nine months now, with a decent, expanding, yet young series under my belt. And during my time here, I've realized that there are…
How did you create this banner for beneath your comments about your series? It looks great!
It's an AU (alternative universe) which is super common in American superhero comics. Similar to how there are Spiderman series where he is black, a pig, and a mech piloted by a Japanese girl. The characters are not really meant to replace the old canon despite how the crazies on the internet act…
