Pues yo tengo Ramona en inglés (Rosette, the dragonet) y La luna solitaria (The lonely moon). Estoy empezando a subir ahora Ramona en español también. Y voy a aprovechar de copiar y pegar aquí un aporte de Gadelan en el foro de Subcultura: "Explorando Tapastic me he dado cuenta que se pueden p…

I use SAI to make comics and switch to Photoshop for texts. And as everyone else, I just use the cracked version that is passed around by everybody. Even if it doesn't have all the brushes you can just add them later or make your own, and the lack of transparent backround is not an issue if you use …
I also asked for help with the backgrounds! Which is one of the reasons they were not ready on time. My sister made a very basic layout on Blender for me, so I could tweak the perspective of the booths more easily. But the size was wrong and it took her a while to fix them (I can't use Blender or …
I explained a couple of random details about my episode to Cyndi today and she told me to share them here with you all .
Why does Maddi mistake Plague for a puppy? It's not that Maddi's THAT silly, it just happens that she has never seen dogs or rats. All mammals are very rare on their universe. V…
I drew this for one of my supporters a while ago: [image]
So... did it stop working already? I kinda got a new supporter two minutes ago, and I had already deleted the supporters-only episodes... Will it stay active a couple of days more? Or do I just send her the specials via private message?
Too bad :/. Thanks anyway for considering it. The problem with messages in header images is that they look different on every screen, and sometimes this happens: [image] (It's not a matter of scrolling, I see it like this always because of my screen resolution. Which is quite a standard res…
Can't we keep those tiny 'support me' buttons we have now next to the comments section under each episode? That would be helpful : )
Thanks for the info! It's all clear now, I think.
Sí, estaba ya activa cuando creé el hilo inicialmente. Y acabo de pinchar el enlace y entré sin problemas. ¿Quizá tienes algún tipo de contenido bloqueado en tu computadora?
Lo cambiamos de todos modos para no fomentar polémicas que no vienen al caso
Ni yo ni el chico que hizo el dibujo somos mexicanos, así que sí, lo sabemos de sobra. Simplemente googleamos sombreros típicos de hispanohablantes y el artista escogió el que más le gustó, por bonito. Sin ninguna otra razón. De hecho me ha dicho que le gustaría dibujar otras versiones. Difícilmen…
[image] Hey there! I have created a Facebook group for Spanish speaking Tapastic users. It's meant for us to support each other: share our Tapastic comics, help those who struggle with English translations, share important info among us only available in English, etc. Maybe even organize meetu…
Will the sharing of the episode on Facebook count even if you're not logged from Facebook? I signed up via e-mail, I'm old :')
I'm a bit confused now... am I still allowed to post the special Questions and Answers thing? I was going to upload it after the current episode was over. The questions were all made by Tapastic readers and it would be a bit strange to post them somewhere else. But I will if I have to, it's just... …
Thank you so much, this is exactly what was needed most urgently on the site. You're awesome!
If I could have picked a comic to draw for over two years back when I started writing the first storyboard for The Lonely Moon I would have probably picked another one of my stories. But TLM was a project I had with my sister and it just kinda... happened. Before I realized what was happening my sis…
I started drawing my comic at the exact size I would upload it and at 72 dpi. It was a terrible mistake. It looks nice online, but I had to print a copy for my table at my country's Comic-Con a couple of years ago and it was a nightmare. If I ever want to publish it for some reason I will have to re…
I thought it meant the creator had other webcomics aside the one you were visiting. Thanks, CyndiFoster!
Oh, it's great, I love it!
I was going to make a webcomics-themed Advent Calendar thing, but because of work I had to quit after the fifth day. Which is sad because it included lots of Tapastic comics. But I did manage to draw two of the Tapastic ones. One for "Ice Cream Surfer" and one for "JA!". [image] -Ice Cream Surfe…
What @kambreapratt says is really important. I know many comic artists that have jobs not related to arts too and they're still super dedicated to their comics on their free time. It wasn't a possibility for me because I could never manage to get a job that didn't slave me the whole day (my country'…
I come from a family of doctors and successful people, so I'm considered officially the family's failure. No one in my family aside from my sister care about art, and comics, being "a lesser form of art", are considered something stupid. I was forced to study a career I didn't like but tolerated bef…
Oh, wow, I was wondering why the sudden avalanche of new creators with awesome works. Welcome, friends, I hope you feel comfortable around here. It's a super nice community and there's a lot of kind people always willing to help if you feel lost or confused about anything. If you want to introdu…
I wan to join too! I'd like fanart of my comic The Lonely Moon, please. Any character my Santa wants to draw. I can't sign up as a gift elf because I will probably be completely swamped in work by Christmas, but if it's an emergency (like, there's someone without a present and all the available gift…
Oh, I love Secret Santas, count me in!
It's true, the language button isn't easy to catch, yellow and all. When I was trying to get my Spanish speaking readers to check my support program comic I told them they could read it in Spanish if they wanted, and got lots of people asking me how. I had said "just click on the language button" bu…
I have always associated The Lonely Moon to Florence & the Machine's "Cosmic Love". And I'm not the only one, I've gotten fanart with lyrics from that song a couple of times, even before I said anything about it. It's my song for Maddi and Violet.
I use Photoshop for the layouts and texts and SAI for the art itself. However if I was to start from scratch today I would totally use the latest version of MangaStudio. It's not only for manga and it has lots of great tools that make everything easier and faster to make.
