I graduated with a degree in art with a specialization in Graphic Design. I do illustrations with an anime-inspired style, I love drawing food-based illustrations especially.
I also do the comic Real Lies (read here: https://tapas.io/series/Real-Lies)

Went to a public high school! It was kind of a mess- LOTS of fighting, both boys and girls. Not really like . . . 'bullying' fighting mind you. I think there was a bit of a bullying problem but that was mostly seperate from the fighting and more psyhcological/non-physical. Some of the pranks at sc…
Government bonds are more safe than company bonds & stock, or so I've heard; if this is relevant to your actual life. Otherwise, 1 for sure. Way more safe than the second. (Though. You can also just buy a bit of both and thus diversify your investments . . .)
i recommend doing studies based on reference photos! this can be photos you like on Instagram, or screenshots of live-action movies/shows. either works. just work very heavily off of the reference to learn how the shapes work. and you don't have to upload it anywhere if you don't like it (i usually …
I think I'm a bit different in tastes to some horror movie watchers as like, Human Centipede First Sequence is fine w/ me but Misery, which is considered to be like mainstream basic horror, makes me a bit sad. It's kinda hard to differentiate why certain horror movies don't really hit barrier betwee…
On paper all of that is fine. In my opinion. I think if you are worried that this may come off as insensitive or poorly handled, it's more so the execution and framing of the subject matter that is what you should try to focus on. If you do not want to romanticize toxic relationships in your work-…
Omfg yeah I understand completely. One thing that's helped me is the Pomodoro method- I adjusted it to be 30 minutes of art, 15 minutes of break. To-do lists also help a LOT.
I'm actually kinda surprised two people mentioned my comic seeming British in some way since I’m also an American- I'm not offended at all, to be clear, but since I don't actually know that many people from the UK, I really don't know how I exude so much British energy xD Maybe it’s a bit of my Sout…
I do realize now that starting in media res may have been confusing for a lot of people starting out, so that's definitely something I'm going to work out the kinks on. And thank you! I'll work more at it ^_^
Nope- I really appreciated the big dump, you hit a lot of points and it was very helpful to hear, thank you! I really appreciated how in depth that was, that gives me a lot to sit down and work with. I think a lot of this caught things that my brain was thinking, "hey, something isn't quite right he…
hey! this is my first time trying to ask something like this. i've hit a rut with my comic & have been struggling quite a bit with the comic medium (more than i expected to tbh.) i'm currently on hiatus & i'm looking for things to improve before i get back to weekly updates could i please have s…
this funko pop absolutely killed me today when i first saw it . . .it's not even ugly idk why its so funny to me xD absolutely no thoughts in there in this knuckles [image]
Do you mean like, how much gore is ok for a story to have in general, or do you mean specifically when it comes to the Tapas guidelines/community? I'm pretty desensitized to drawn gore (for the most part) so I may be biased, but I really think you're super fine when it comes to the "in general" pa…
I have two fursonas I use, one is a goat and one is a bat. That's all there is to it haha Goatdolls, which I use sometimes is similar- I love goats & I collect dolls. Thus- goat + dolls
Pens are great! I got into crosshatching a while back. Honestly, for me not being able to erase was kind of a relief- forced me to accept a certain level of mess & not be a perfectionist
I've been on the grind job-searching after college and finally got something after a loooong time getting rejected- I'd recommend picking up something part-time at least while you look more for your dream position. Unfortunately it's a very good idea to pad out your resume a little because gaps in r…
I've watched quite a bit of horror movies in college so little really takes me for a spin anymore, but for some reason Tusk really creeps me out more than most infamously "disturbing" movies. I legit got disturbed at the trailer even after watching other comparatively "worse" horror movies- just the…
Charlotte would say it's The Godfather or something . . .but it's actually Grease, lol
No problem ^_^ Thank you to you as well!
I see those too when I write something- those features are very new to Grammarly, the things like Grammarly suggesting tone or formality I would take with a grain of salt. Right now, Grammarly is telling me that I am "skeptical" and "assertive" in tone, for instance xD I keep Grammarly on regularly …
This is probably unshocking for me to say lol but! Yes, I love an "unsympathetic" protagonist. I definitely recognize that I'm a flawed person and most people are, I even love seeing characters with flaws that are way more exaggerated than mine. I don't always love the characters but I think a good,…
mysteries . . . whether episodic or longform, they sound hard to write and i'd be too scared people would guess my twist too early & then talk about it i also loooove extremely long battle action macho stuff where just about each & every fight is different. however!! that would be extremely hard…
it is partially! i was inspired by the mangas majin tantei nougami neuro, and mob psycho ^_^ i also think this is pretty obvious looking at her design, but my deuteragonist ottilie is inspired by various anime tropes (characters like nanami from utena, kokomi from saiki k . . . i don't know how else…
well, i must be quite a disturbed human as well then, because i like it
this is a good question!! i'll say that my main read now is Lookism, but that's already verrrry popular haha here's what i just caught up on on CF: (16+ rating, there's a warning for frontal nudity so be aware of that before you subscribe if you don't know how the CF rating system works) just …
I don't swear too often, but I've grown used to it over the years. I definitely used to get squicked out, but after going online more & getting a lot more guy friends in college . . . well, I've certainly gotten accustomed to it, lol. I just have trouble with switching my conversations to fit the s…
the only thing i have completed that's up in the genre is a horror short comic, but yeah i do get quite scared by my own stuff xD it wasn't to the point where it stopped being fun for me though! i think i get more scared by my own ideas than other horror media- probably partially since i'm specifi…
oh man, i hope to xD i have tons of stories i really love! but i'm also cognizant that i'm already in my mid-twenties- if i stick to the page-a-week schedule, i can only do so many of my stories justice, realistically speaking. i may try to work on adapting one of them into something like a VN or pr…
is the main website you're referring to a personal website? i'm seconding marty barok's suggestion above fully, but i think you may want to consider posting on comicfury (which has looser censorship guidelines) if you're just looking for a platform to mirror your comic on aside from your own person…
pre-existing creator here, i actually think i debuted way too early xD it's definitely a balancing game LOL
tbh i don't think i necessarily do this that often (i drop things v easily, even things i love by forgetting tbh LOL) but, i do very often say this when i think 1) someone asking me about my opinion to ascertain whether or not they'd like it or 2) i know something isn't necessarily good, but i like …
