Sounds great! I especially like your idea about "Weekly Highlights" emails organized by genre. It's been mentioned on plenty of other threads that many fantastic longer-form, story-based comics on Tapastic are mostly ignored because there aren't many systems in place here that advertise them as we…

Hi everyone! I'm Kialana, the nerdy engineering student who draws Girl with a Pearl Earring Comics (http://tapastic.com/series/girl-with-pearl-earring), which just updated a few minutes ago. It's a cute little slice-of-life about college, engineering, math, and nerd culture. If you want to check …

@wr4ith0: Wow, thank you for all the great tutorials! I've decided that a more traditional setup for the lineart, then cleanup and coloring digitally, would suit me well. (The tutorial on photographing my work will definitely be a much-used resource in coming weeks.) I also started trying out GI…

Thank you for the great recommendations! GIMP looks like a really good option right now, although I am a bit wary of doing art on my computer, which is a fairly elderly MacBook that crashes regularly and has to be restarted every few days (so it sounds like Sai would't run that well on it, which is…

Thank you so much for all your helpful advice! I'd definitely like to see those tutorials. (Tutorials are the best!) Right now, I'm using an iPad app called Brushes that is decent for paintings but pretty terrible for lineart. It doesn't really fit at all with my comic's style. To be honest, I…

I'd like to join! This looks like so much fun ^_^ For my gift, I'd love either some fanart of my comic, Girl with a Pearl Earring Comics, or a girl wielding only a screwdriver against a horrific beast. Thank you!

Thanks for the great advice! Update frequency is something I've been worrying a lot about recently with my own comic, Girl with a Pearl Earring Comics. I'm currently updating once a week, on Sundays, with what I consider to be the "main" comic, and every Thursday with little extremely-low-quali…

This sounds like a great idea! I'm definitely willing to participate.

Thanks! I'm planning to make comics primarily about everyday engineering experiences, which hopefully engineers and non-engineers will both find relatable, and everyday college-student experiences, seen from the perspective of someone who never leaves home without a screwdriver.

Hi! I'm Kialana, and I've recently started to publish a silly little slice-of-life about the subject of the painting "Girl With a Pearl Earring" and her adventures as an engineering student, Girl With A Pearl Earring Comics, which currently updates Sundays. Nerds of many stripes will find her a ki…
