I mean, I have literally one brush I use for each comic, and one's only customized because I accidentally broke my sai's solid pen brush somehow. :,) Really it depends heavily on what you're aiming to accomplish. You can easily produce great work with default brushes if you're a good artist, and y…
The sites are honestly pretty different. I'd say CF's a bit more forgiving on messy update schedules, and such, and tends to be more personal with the smaller community, and the high amount of customization available. Tapastic does have a massive audience to reach, though, and it seems a lot better …
Well, I know with my husband we started off as really close friends. I'd say we were comfortable around each other super quickly, I considered him my best friend a month in, and by the two month mark I started to realize I actually liked him in a more romantic sense. Keep in mind, before that I had …
Honestly I kinda hate the trend of advertising a comics "Lgbt+-ness" for several reasons. The first, and most prominent, being that it's fetishistic. Straight and simple, unless the comic is completely focused on lgbt+ issues, it's just taking advantage of "diversity points", or advertising that i…
Alright, review of Knights. Art - The art is, honestly, kind of all over the place. The constant use of obviously ripped images, badly artifact-d textures, weird 3d modeling, and tracing overall gives the comic an incredibly sloppy appearance that makes it look more like a collage than a cohesive …
I'll review the comic Knights. Just give me a bit to read through it :y
I see a lot of people questioning why you'd use cursing at all in comics, and I guess I'll offer my own ideas on the subject as a filthy newbie who gives not an ounce of a fuck about past comic regulations and the need to keep everything kid friendly. Cursing in comics isn't necessary in every sit…
God there are just so many. :,) Some big least faves include: -Everyone is violently stupid and incapable of talking. This is particularly horrible when it's used to drag out completely pointless drama. -"cute"/"funny"/"cool" animal mascot characters. Theyre obnoxious pointless trash. -All other…
I'm gonna be real with you man, if you want anyone to put in the insane amount of time and effort that would be needed for what you're asking for here you need to pay your artists. Your goal here is stated to be a professional business level and that's not gonna happen unless you pay someone to stic…
It would be fantastic if you could not spam threads. You've made three post on the exact same comic, give it a rest.
I adore my characters as parts of myself that have branched off and kind of developed a mind of their own. I love them all in some form or fashion. As people, though, it varies a bit, haha. My two mains I actually do like. I like Raul because he's just genuinely a pretty nice person most of the ti…
Hi! I'll try to be as helpful as I can be here. : ) The first thing I noticed was that the art style was pretty interesting, particularly in segments where we can see the main characters vision. It's got a pleasant blurryness that reminded me of the kind of hazy feel dreams have. Which is awesom…
It's honestly not bad. I mean, half the menu is undrinkable sugary death, but some if it's pretty alright. I'll admit I don't understand the hatred most people hold for it. :/
I used to hate both but got a job at Starbucks a while ago where I was forced to try everything, and now I'm fond of both. I don't really drink them to stay awake most of the time, I rarely get coffee or tea as anything other than an occasional "treat" kind of thing, but I'd say I prefer coffee. Spe…
I am going to be honest in this review, because I feel it will be more helpful to you as a comic creator in the long run. I think the prologue is unecessary. It introduces several very easy to digest concepts that could be just as easily slipped into a few panels of character dialogue, or dispers…
Of the two best friends I have (husband and bffl) I met one irl, and the other online, but the process was relatively the same. They introduced themselves, we started just talking about inane goofy stuff, we realized we enjoyed each others company, and we BOTH started to actively look to talk to eac…
I've never been a fan of suffering for the sake of suffering, and have absolutely dropped stories that use the main character as a punching bag because it just didn't sit well with me, but I'm not exactly kind to my characters either. Hell, I scratched an earlier version of my comic because I ultima…
I've used both programs rather extensively, but I'm personally a fan of sai and use it pretty muvh exclusively now. The only part of my comics not made in sai is the text, which is done in gimp and pasted into the file is sai. I'm fond of the program because it's simple and has the cleanest result…
I wish I had the time to do a proper holiday arc, they're fun and I have a few adorable ideas I'd like try draw out. Unfortunately a holiday arc for my main comic would probably take upwards of a year to create. :,)
Hi! Due to issues with my previous main hosting site I'm looking to make tapastic my new main for both my current comic, and a comic I will be starting soon. (this time formatted vertically specifically for tapastic :D) I know the basics of how to upload and such, but I'll admit much of tapastic…
I agree honestly. I understand a lot of the reasoning here, but a lot of it just leaves kind of a bad taste in my mouth. Like, the advertising side of things. While I understand that it's ultimately not hurting anything, and typically if you sib something you don't mind promoting it, posting an …
I actually have seen people send out "Thank You" images on the other comic site I use (ComicFury), but as there aren't any walls it's all done through PM, and it's admittedly less common.
As someone who actually does believe in rather large swaths of the faith, classifying a religious comic a "fantasy" is a sure fire way to piss a lot of people off. It's honestly pretty disrespectful, and I'd give you the same advice no matter what religion you were covering. (Even old stuff like the…
Sorry if there's already a topic like this, I couldn't find one, and this is something that honestly interests me. What do you think of the "Thank You" images a lot of people on this site use and post to new subscribers profiles? Do you use them with your own work? If you don't why not? If you're …
I typically just lay down flats, color those in the correct base color, and then draw the shadows directly on top on that same layer. Occasionally if the lighting in a scene is weird, or I'm tying to accomplish something a little strange with the colors I'll add a layer on top t fix it (shade, overl…
Not sure exactly how obscure a lot of these are, but here are some of my favorites. : D I Monster - Literally any of their albums. They're my favorite band hands down, mostly creating more weird, pop-y music. (I think the term was "trip-hop") The best starter album would probably be "Never odd or …
Here's the current WIP for the next page of Catihorn : [image] And have the unfinished portion of the first episode of a secondary comic I'm starting up soon. (A project mostly meant as something I can do faster than Catihorn at work that's mostly just going to be bizarre.) [image]

If I could go back and tell myself something I'd probably tell myself not to let school destroy me so badly, that having nobody for a while is better than having someone horrible, and that everything will, in fact, work out in the end. Seriously younger self you aren't going to die alone in a card…
Sounds entertaining to me. : D
My main character is this guy v [image] His name's Raul Bauer, and he's mostly just a very hard-working pushover. He's also incredibly sociable, focused to a fault, and considers himself kind of a boring person despite quite a few spoilery things that make him rather weird and interesting. A lo…
