Okotowari Shimasu by @yaboku comes to mind. Has a simple premise, is very character-driven and uses the 4koma format.
Losses have fueled my storywriting and dedication to creative works for a long time now. I think the trickiest part really is figuring out what works for you -- some people need a break, some people head straight back to work, along with a million other options and none of them are any more right or…
I'm eternally grateful for any website that gives me the option to pick at least two genres for that exact reason--I feel like it's hard to say which one genre describes my main comic best. Aside from that one, I also have a 4 panel spin-off where the comedy genre is clearly the best choice, for ins…
Clicked the title solely for the Community reference. I am pleased. Anyway, certainly not pleased with the result but honestly not surprised. As a European from an economically strong country, I admittedly have nowhere near as many reasons to be concerned as I'm sure many Americans do, but I do ho…
I really love the SFX design in @60Six's City of Blank. It's so colorful and fun and always enhances the story's large variety of different moods. As I hardly use SFX myself I barely pay attention to them so I find it worth mentioning that they stood out to me in CoB.
I just keep going unless I know that only a break can fix the problem. For instance, art block isn't enough to stop me from working anymore; I'll feel somewhat self-conscious about it and despise certain pages or panels but I also feel like in most cases the only one who really notices a differenc…
I ship everyone/everyone so I'll try to hold back...for now. 
There's No Such Thing as Jason - I.T.: Any combination of Jason/Day/Dim because I like pain. Possibly leaning towards Day/Dim because I also like suffering a lot. Not a romance comic but very heavy on character interaction and complex …
Free art is always nice--guest comics are awesome too but I wouldn't make those the only option seeing as most readers probably aren't actually comic creators themselves. Something I did for my first contest that people liked a lot was giving readers the chance to become background characters in my …
Got the same one. To be honest, it raises so many red flags it just has "scam" written all over it which is quite a shame if it is indeed a legitimate offer, but it's so impersonal it seems like they're just sending it to as many people as possible. Usually not a good sign. It definitely appears to …
If it's numbers you want, I got 'em! I've got around 22,000 ad impressions this month which equals around $13 before fees--so this isn't the amount I've made this month, but the amount that will be split for both Tapastic and me. I average around 2,000 - 3,500 ad impressions per day, which is what…
While I do think I have something to contribute, all those subjects are so broad there's probably not much of a point in me just going on and on about the ones I'm familiar with. Like with any country, there may be heavy regional differences and of course, in the end it always depends on how each in…
There are comics where the authors can count on me to comment on every single update (unless I'm really that busy and even then I'll try my best). They're often the ones where I feel a certain attachment and where at least a little part of me would die if the comic stopped updating, for example if t…
I've been updating daily for a while now and all comments I receive about the update schedule are positive. Some people actually check the comic daily and enjoy the frequent updates while others catch up on multiple updates a few days later. From a reader's point of view, personally, I love frequent…
My plot is extremely character-driven and quite dependent on the characters' feelings, among other things, so romance is inevitable, haha. There's Marian who falls in love at first sight with a serial killer, which is...well, I don't even need to explain why that's bad. [image] Today I also happe…
For me, the key to neat coloring is resizing. As long as I draw in a (much) higher resolution than what the end result is supposed to be, it's really easy to create an illusion of neat and clean work. 100% zoom on my pages looks terrible. It's all over the place. But when I resize from 3541x5016 p…
I don't read gag-a-days, so my opinion is based entirely on story- and/or character-driven comics. In short, I prefer quantity over quality both as a creator and as a reader. As a creator, that's just what I feel like I have to do--I have a story that will be faaar from done when it reaches its 10…
Kinda wish I wore something more serious. Or just, you know, more pants. [image]
I actually want to make story-based rhythm games but don't have the income needed to hire programmers and musicians, so I was looking for other ways to tell my characters' story. After trying visual novels and light novels, both of which weren't exactly what I was looking for, I eventually decided o…
I always felt like sexiness, exaggerated or not, is really only an issue when there's literally no purpose for the character other than being the obvious fanservice bait. (At least if the story is supposed to be taken somewhat seriously.) Judging from your second paragraph, it doesn't sound like i…
I think having a popular/trending section is enough so we don't need a ranking system, but, that's not what the only suggestion in this thread was and things like artist interviews sound incredibly cool! I'm having a lot of fun imagining a "Monthly Tapastic Magazine" or something, although I'm not f…
Short answer: my comic is my life, that is all. Really though, it's the digital embodiment of my childhood dreams, the way I've been dealing with hardships in my life, the things that are important to me now and the things that keep me going. It's what makes me want to get out of bed every morning…
Timezones, people working late shifts, unusual sleeping schedules--there are always countless people asleep/awake no matter when you update, so I'm not all that bothered by a potential audience being asleep when I update. If you're concerned about it, try experimenting by uploading at different time…
The anime/manga style (weird to define it--it varies, just like Western styles vary) suffers just as much from prejudice and clichés as pretty much every type of art style or medium does. Most people are probably very neutral about this, as in they either like the style or don't and simply ignore it…
I finally managed to overcome a similar fear myself last year, and the two major things that helped me get there would be... Being less critical. Even artists you consider to be insanely good will doubt their work every now and then and feel like they're not good enough. Telling yourself you want…
That's pretty much what I thought before I started uploading there and I was honestly pleasantly surprised. It's true that many Webtoon readers leave comments of the more pushy and immature nature and seem to feel somewhat entitled to the entertainment artists and writers are providing for them, b…
I have three reward tiers; $1+ gives people access to the general Patreon-exclusive stuff I post: art, giveaways, budget discussions, all of which can be influenced by the supporters. $2+ gives them access to background information about every single comic page, ranging from changes that were made f…
Welcome! You've picked a great place to start, everyone's super nice around here. 
Your comic looks pretty cool so far, I really like the premise and the design of the cover page. Subscribed!
Been dreaming about turning my story into a multimedia franchise for as long as I can remember. I have so many concepts and drafts for things other than the comic, it's ridiculous (and just not doable with only one person working on it). If I had to name more specific goals, it would be an animated …
I really like looking at the way other people set up their pages too, so I'm linking mine as well in case they'll be useful to anyone

Also trying to get back into Tumblr and Facebook, but I don't really enjoy posting there...
I only started posting in December, but hey, positive memories of 2015! I'm proud that I finally had the confidence to just turn my dream project into a comic. I wasted about four years trying to settle for another story since it's originally a game concept (way beyond my programming/asset creati…
