Not receiving ad revenue is the default. When you reach 100 subscribers, you are given the choice to opt in to receiving revenue, but plenty of people can't do that (for example if they're creating a fan comic and thus don't own the IP). If you don't want to make ad revenue from your story, the only…
Holy crap these are all extremely cool! I love all the different poses and perspectives and interesting compositions you used! (Also you totally nailed the vibes for my characters....lmao Raul) What an awesome surprise!
Congrats on completing the challenge! [:hype_01:] I definitely think those sorts of events can be really great and inspirational, since they push you to try new things when you're working within the bounds of the challenge rather than doing whatever you might do typically. I might have to try that o…
I don't generally do a ton of extras just because I don't want to interrupt the flow of the comic. But I've done a couple of QnAs. I generally start taking questions for them in the comments near the end of a story arc, and then post them as an intermission before the next one. I've also done a fana…
I think the general consensus when the topic of using the mature filter for language has come up in the past was that there's two main instances to use it. The first is for especially extreme language (think slurs and other particularly abusive uses of swearing), and the second is for swearing that …
Tags on your series are searchable, however tags on individual episodes are not and thus don't really do anything. Sometimes people put little jokes in them, personally I use them to list the names of any characters appearing in that episode, to make it easier for people like me who are bad at remem…
I don't particularly love doing shading, but I do love scenes with dramatic lighting and glowy effects, which pretty much require me to put effort into shading so they look right. Page without: [image] With shading: [image] Illustration without: [image] With shading: [image]
I tend to use a mix of onomatopoeias and more literal sound effects, depending on what I feel gets the idea across best. I mostly use specific fonts for them, although I do occasionally handwrite them - usually for softer sounds. I also try to make sure I'm keeping a sound effect for a specific thin…
I made an account years ago when I first heard about Art Fight, but I've never actually had the free time to participate. But this year I'm on hiatus and don't have page deadlines to worry about, so I finally get to do it! Still working on getting my characters added though.
@RosesnWater Holy crap that's one cool design! [:shook_01:] I don't draw animals very often in my comic but, funny enough, the ones I draw the most often are birds. [image] [image] [image] [image]
I really gotta make more memes but I have a few... [image] [image] Technically a comic panel but Raul being the Knife Cat meme: [image] This one courtesy of @spadedigsbutts: [image]
I tend to give my characters new outfits after every story arc, so I don't always have specific character ref sheets but I have a few things... The initial designs for the trio: [image] And then some later faces when I was updating how I drew their hair and features: [image] I also did som…
Happy Pride everyone! I'm a queer creator making an action-packed fantasy comic with a heavily LGBTQ+ cast! Summary: Three dysfunctional adventurers - a shady psion, a rebellious pirate, and a distrustful con artist - are forced to work together when the new king tasks them to reclaim the castle …
I've been summoned! My comic is very much DnD-inspired - I did a lot of my own character development and worldbuilding with it since the campaign that originated the concept never finished, but the DnD vibes are still very strong there. The story follows a crew of dysfunctional adventurers, forced …
These sorts of comparisons are always really cool to see, I love how much character designs can evolve over time! I've got three main characters, so... Rowan: [image] Bree: [image] (I technically have some older art of Bree, but it's from when she had a very different color palette, so this is …
I don't really draw a lot of straight on faces, tried to find one that was close-ish and uh... [image] [image][image] ...well these are deeply cursed. This one works a bit better, aside from the bangs. [image] [image][image]
It's always awesome to see how people's art levels up over the course of their comic! I recently redrew my first 8 pages, which allows for an easy point of comparison for how my art has improved in the last few years. New ones on the left, old ones on the right: [image][image] [image][image] …
Probably my most unusual panels were in this sequence where the character is in a sort of creepy mindscape, so the panels were unevenly shaped and fuzzy at the edges and floating in the darkness: [image] [image] I'm also fond of having panels where characters and objects break out of the panel b…
The audience on Tapas tends to be pretty tolerant of shorter updates. I sometimes find single page updates to be a bit short for my personal tastes, but a lot depends on how the creator paces their updates and if it still feels like something significant happened. Basing your update length in terms …
I have multiple main characters but my favorite introduction is probably Bree's, because it's just such a mood. [image] [image]
I've had quite a few chapter covers at this point, so here's a few of my faves! Each one is based on a different Tarot card. [image][image] [image][image]
Layout/Sketch: [image] Inking: [image] Flats: [image] Shading and final color adjustment: [image]
I really like my new icon and cover art for promo art. [image] [image] I'm also quite fond of how this panel turned out: [image]
@igneriss I can definitely see the improvement over the course of your chapters, and your linework feels like it's gotten more confident and concrete, looks great! Agree that the early proportions were cute in their own way, but I really like the way you're drawing them now. @AlydaB The more detai…
I use a custom font of my handwriting as my main font, I feel like it meshes with my art fairly well and it gives me the ability to occasionally hand letter a bubble without it looking out of place. [image] I use a font called Belizarius for my title, and for a certain character's telepathic spe…
Well, this was entertaining. Especially the parts where it occasionally glitches out and creates an eldritch horror. Rowan: [image] VS [image] Raul: [image] VS [image] Bree: [image] VS [image] Bonus Azrael because I like how this is bringing that anime villain energy: [image] VS [image]
Ad revenue varies wildly and is very hard to predict, both because the value varies depending on the ad in question, and also there's no way of predicting whether the views you're getting are from people running adblock or not. But a big thing to be aware of is that you only get paid if you hit a ce…
Here we go, Azrael is ready to try to conquer the basket! [image] And here's a version with space cut out under the hand to hopefully make the placement easier, let me know if you need any adjustments! [image]
Is slot 8 for the villain basket still open? If so I'll take it.
