So I haven't really been super active on Tapas for about a year. I come back and it's different!! I like it though, the flipping of pages is GREAT and gives me hope that traditional format comics can go back to the norm. (I HATE scroll format) That said, it made me curious about posting my own…

ANNOYING; I think what makes a character annoying is when they're SOOO moralic that they always do the right thing, even if it has 0% chance of working and it's just illogical. NSFW: I think just creativity is what makes it. If I can predict everything, then its boring.

Here's a video that'll explain it for you. It's mostly about creating expectations and subverting them. If you really solely on 'relatable humor' nothing will be funny.

Korean Tacos has the right answer. also it's because most people have gone to high school, and can relate.

Your problems definitely the text. Make it bigger bigger! It's better to have it too big than too small. I use "Back Issues BB" on 40 size font if that helps you. It's a font a little similiar to what you were using.

Don't worry about losing subs. I lost a couple hundred subs for writing a very very awkward scene in my comic. I guess it turned out that you either really liked it or really hated it. But it's no big deal. As far as if you're doing something wrong. I read about a dozen of your strips…

I have almost 2 thousand subscribers total. And I've seen comics better than mine with less than a quarter what I have. So I can say. It's 100% luck. (okay maybe like 80% but I'm trying to be dramatic) And also as Peni said. Don't focus on numbers. You think they'll make you feel different …

Yes. It was a joke. Hence why I asked if it's even worth it to join because I speculate that BL comics are going to win anyways.

Yeah the 80K prize contest is what I'm talkin' bout.

That's so weird! That site actually asked me to upload my comics there last year. When they do upload un-authorized comics, or any site does. Do they keep the title of the comic the same? or do they change it to something else to help it stay hidden? Also isn't reverse image searching a bet…

That program your using must really suck. Or you're really slow. 14 hours to make that page??? I make my pages in almost half that time. and they're colored. If it's the program. and it's taking you 14 hours to make a page. then I would definitely switch programs.

Aaand the winners for ALL categories are BL comics!! Anyways, can anybody find a link to Webtoons contest page? I can't find it anymore. and links I do find of it no longer work. It's kind of suspicious. On a serious note, should you even BOTHER entering if it's not BL?

lol it sounds like your asking everyone else to be more dedicated in finding comics for you to read than even you are. xD

For short term burnout, Here's how I optimally take a break. 5min Walk around Block Hackey sack 5 min Spray face with a hose. Meditate for 5 more minutes. play guitar or clean up for a bit. Spray myself in the face with the hose again. Go back inside. Go back outside. Turn …

Dang I was gonna post mine but it looks like Dawg beat me to it. Thank you! xD <33

Haha I didn't read your username so I didn't expect to see Eon when I scrolled down! I originally thought OH this is someone just showing how they improved a little bit. OH SHIT. EON!? Nevermind. They're showing how they went from okay...to AMAZEBALLS. I like your message/title though! I gre…

I make animations! And comics here on Tapas (: (follow4follow) I made this banner sort of picture last year, so...uh I thought I"d post it too.

That's treally true! I had forgotten the title displays under the icon. xD So I did take the text off! Looks better. and yeah! the background on that first icon, I purposelly made yellow and black, because I"ve read somewhere they're a memorable color combo. Especially with black text on a ye…

Hahahah I actually considered that. For 0.00000001th of a second xD My concern is people UN-subbing after seeing the BL

Thanks! That's a pretty interesting read! I hadn't thought about purposefully designing to be harmonious with the color scheme of tapas!

When I look for comics 90% of the reason I check one out is because the icon / thumbnail looks KICKASS. Which made me look at mine. While they're not bad, I think I could make them MORE KICKASS. I'll post mine, in an effort to get feedback ideas, but feel free to post yours too! I"m down to offe…

I would reword this whole post. It sounds like your asking someone else to be more dedicated to your comic than even you are.

I feel like "relatable" is such a trashy cancerous word haha Make a comic about stubbing your toe. Comments: OMG! I stubbed my toe once too! #SoRelatable! I super agree with the importance of branding though. If anything, I think it can be simplified to. PRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING.

It's not bad. But to make it GREAT. I would say Write a script. A heartfelt script. A short, heartfelt script. Get video footage to match in some way, what your saying, or at least match the mood. Make it easy to picture what your talking about. Combine that with art shots/speed paints and s…

An evil pixie goes to an evil school. But nothing really evil actually happens.

[image] This is my latest! But also one of my favorite pages so far (:

Haha wow those are great! I just read the first bit of Not A Yaoi Story and gotta say I already like it way more than I thought xDD seems so funny

There's always self-promotion comics under 50 subs here. but I haven't seen one to help your friends get the subscribers they deserve. My friend LumDrop has a BEAUTIFUL comic but only has 22 subs! [image] [image] So hopefully if we all post a comic we think deserves a lot more subs we can…

My friends comic needs way more subs. His comic is really creative and colorful, and the main character is SOOO CUUTEE!!
