recently for my comic I had to get up google maps to figure out which direction a specific building in a real-life complex faces and i think that's the point i put way too much thought into a comic i don't even bother to draw backgrounds for half the time

How do you write your comics' scripts?

I write a plot outline in Word (just dot points), print that out and highlight/annotate/make any changes I forgot to, and then turn that into thumbnails. I keep it all printed because I use 4-panel notepads for thumbnails and sometimes do concept sketches on paper and like to keep it all together!

Characters you have yet to introduce?

I have a comic about personified religions (I'm doing my best) and I'm really excited to introduce everyone in my next volume, about the Islamic Golden Age! Includes my iterations of Islam, obviously, and its two main denominations; Shia and Sunni (left to right) [image]

We were nothing but training wheels

you're doing the right thing, dude, for both yourself and the webcomic community as whole. i kind of can't leave as a super small creator who needs to retain the followers they have, but i'm certainly not starting any new work here (i feel like i'm repeating myself, sorry!). good luck out there!

We were nothing but training wheels

good luck on the other site! i've started putting my comic up on additional platforms and might never premiere my other ideas on Tapas... i saw the transformation slowly happen since i began on here a couple of years ago but it took reading this to make it set in that this platform really isn't made…

The tapas 'new look' poll

Honestly I have super mixed feelings. I know they're rolling in changes to display premium and free alongside each other which will look neat but until that gets implemented I don't think I'll like it that much it looks like a Webtoon clone and I kinda miss the scrolling format that was so good for…

Mythology & Folklore 📒📜

@CAOMouse on kami (just the Japanese word for a spirit/deity, the Jewish/Christian/etc god is also called Kami-sama) - this is an example of immanence! Immanence is where gods live within or are manifested in the world, instead of being separated from it. I think some Indian rivers also share names …

Venting about the holidays (LGBTQIA+ edition but all else are definitely welcome)

okay, i'm gonna go on a little bit of a spiel here! (religion is my special interest) there is evidence to suggest that the wise men were in fact zoroastrian priests (whom are called Magi, like many references to the wise men) also @Kiweevil yeah! religions absorb so much from each other it's real…

Venting about the holidays (LGBTQIA+ edition but all else are definitely welcome)

Script or drawing?

Instead of scripting, I usually write a plot outline for each chapter and then thumbnail the pages, and usually as I block things and add dialogue indicators this way the finer details change. Drawing is also a lot more fun/easy for me because that's how I give life to my characters, and I can prett…

Religious Diversity in Worldbuilding

Depends. Many of my more developed OCs and ideas take place in our world and I think it's important to have a culturally diverse cast in that sort of scenario, esp. if you're writing a multicultural hub like somewhere on the Silk Road or modern Western countries. And I have a massive personal intere…
