There were misconceptions about Tapas taking your rights thats true. (bc of the really bad wording in the tos) And personally I didn't pull my comic either but I do understand the people that did. There's been trust issues with tapas for a longer time now. So im definitely looking for alternatives …

I agree with that we shouldn't jump to conclusions and wait for Tapas answer on all this. I worked way to hard on my comic for years to delete it right this second. However I think people are in their right to be concerned about this. Especially after the posts of Der-Shing and the lawyer on twit…

Hey guys I understand you are passionate to tell your opinions on certain specific stories and writers but please stay on the topic of the tread!

Oh I love this! My favourite comic on Tapas is Patrick the Vampire My fave webtoon is Family man (already completed but I love it so much)

(sorry this is long I'm very passionate about colours) I'm gonna use my comic 150 Days as example because i was very conscious in my colour picking in that one. I usually pick the mood of the scene first and build everything around it. For this one it's a short story so I blocked out all the colour…

Hi there. I appreciate all the comments on this tread, both the ones I personally agree with and the ones I don't. It got way more replies so far then I could've hoped for but please understand that this tread is for everyone to voice their opinions and discuss with each other in a respectful and o…

haha no mine neither but they would definitely come off rude/ignorant to my online friends. even though they might not mean to. I'm trying to sneakily learn them a thing or two though haha

ah that's such a good point though. And honestly one I don't think of enough myself. I don't think most of my school friends (pretty much all white and straight) would get along with my online friends at all (who are all lgbt and half of them poc) My school friends are usually the ones asking me w…

I get what you mean. I struggle with the feeling of "being an imposter" a lot. I tend to stay away from mental illnesses and religion a lot myself unless I have someone irl that's like the character to help me with it. I think as long as you add diverse characters and their experiences as poc aren't…

I see. But just to see if I don't misunderstand you: I'm wondering why would you choose the one 50% over the other 50%? The other 50% is still there and ethnicities in a city are not sectioned off. What is your definition of realistic and why would the white half be the so called realistic half? J…

hashtagwhenyourfriendlowkeyroastsyou I admit I do have this problem a bit and I'm working on it. I tend to get carried away by adding characters because I want to extend the story of another one. But I sometimes forget how this can affect how people see my comic /see it as a list. However I d…

Hi I'm JJ and I write Les Normaux together with my friend Al. If you know our comic you know it features a super diverse cast of all kinds of ethnicities, orientations and more. The vast majority of our readers really loves the comic for that but we also get reviews saying our cast is "too diverse…

I have a problem with my new series slightly similar to this? I have two older series which are romance series that feature m/m couples (among other ones) and the comments are super respectful and empathetic. Yet I've just started a series with 2 guys in the main roles, with no hints towards roman…

Hey! I agree with the comments on the lettering. I'll add to that that you should avoid touching the faces of characters with the bubbles. Bodies are fine but I find that bubbles over faces can be distracting unless the panel is very zoomed in. I'll give some pointers and general tips on the art …

I write a big (lgbtqa+) romance comic here on Tapastic. Wich is why I often look at what's popular in that category what happens to be mostly BL right now. And it's true that it is not fair to group all BL together and say it's bad, It has a reputation. That reputation might not be your of own doing…

It's a bit of both! I agree with @joannekwan on that you need to make your comics for yourself first and foremost otherwise you won't be able to keep up. And it does motivate you to improve your work and keep updating instead of slacking off. And I love comments especially since they help you improv…

Usually I'm super exited when Tapastic announces something new this time however I'm pretty concerned. I'm all for improving the app, I think it's definatly one of Tapastic's charms, especially if you are working on making it more friendly for creators to use. (Because right now it's just reader ori…
