I generally ignore it. But I do get butthurt, to be honest.
I hate when people do that. I think it's really petty when someone follows to unfollow. Especially in Day 1 of following! But yeah, like the majority of people here said, ignore it. Keep doing what you love, and that is your story. Don't fall into the trap of Sub4Sub either. It's not worth it. Be r…
I still get these sub4sub requests as private posts on my wall and I can only say that I don't find it worth my time to even respond to such messages. There are no lasting benefits in this practice. That's why I don't want to invest my time on it.
In my opinion, the best thing to do is to not follow someone who follows you UNLESS you are really interested in their comic and would read it even if they were not reading yours, (AND)/OR you know the person well enough and from what you know, you want to give them an extra chance even if the comic…
These are mostly just people who were not really invested in the comic. Every time I post on Webtoons I lose something like 20 subs, if each of them will write they are leaving for the better comics every time, I would choke and die at some point 
The weird thing is that this also happens to me on webtoons, where you can't even see who subbed you, so how they expect me reciprocate is beyond me. And if they just really suddenly don't like it anymore, I wish they'd at least bother to tell me why.
I just lost two subs right after posting a new page, so thanks for explaining what that was about. This has been happening fairly regularly actually, so I probably have an even smaller audience than I thought I had. On the other hand, comments and likes are up slightly, so at least I'm not getting w…
You definitely didn’t understand. Updates are good. On the other hand, most people who don’t read comics/books in sub4sub don’t really care for you or your story. They just want those stats up or something. People then forget your story exist after subscribing so you don’t ever have to worry about…
I believe it works like this: a person subscribes to you, maybe they didn't like your comic that much or just started reading, then they forget about you, next time they see a new update they decide the comic is really not for them and unsubscribe. When you don't update, they just don't remember y…
Yeah i heard they do. In fact, views, likes and comments are better for your stats because they can put you into trending if you gain a lot of them. Whereas I don't really know what subscribers do other than unlock the milestones. Again, i don't know the full details of it but there is a reason why…
Ignore it, people are just jerks sometimes, just continue your work as if you aren't doing it for others, but to at least accomplish something.
Yeah, when i first started out on tapas i got a load of them. Not knowing the ways there i just went with it and thought it was cool. After that i realised that most of them didn't even read my comic and one guy was just plain advertising on my wall. I unsubscribed almost all of them but sadly i hav…
If it is professional art that is being sold for sure. There are even Instagram challenges that involve redrawing art. If a non professional asks for criticism redraw their art may be helpful to them
Italy / Milan btw there was a thread time ago where u could point yourself on the Gmaps... was very cool.
that's good to hear, thanks
Thanks Martina, I've subbed, love your drawing style, what are your influences?
At the same time, recognize that dialogue not meant to be perfect recreation of actual speech. In real life, people stutter, repeat themselves, interrupt each other. Actual convos very messy. Aim not for realism, but verisimilitude. Never forget that dialogue am meant to either advance the plot or r…
Oh goodness! That's a lot of improvement!! Well, this is my first digital artwork ever using mouse (3-5 years ago I believe?) I am so sorry for this creation. [image] And another pretty old one: [image] Aaaand, here are some recent artworks [image] [image]
This is how I used to digitally paint starting out in late High school, early college (wasn't using photoshop back then, but some random program that came with my offbrand 3.5 inch 70 buck tablet. Believe it or not, I was way worse with photoshop starting out than I was in this program that gave me …
Ahh everyone's improvements are so cool! I'm so proud of everyone <3
Here's to all of us continuing to improve in the future!! 
Hey guys! I've been cooking up a little something special for all of you. As my webcomic got more popular, I thought it would be fun to hire someone to compose an original soundtrack for it. I plan on using it for the future pilot and all promotional material that might come! Give it a listen and yo…
You're on the review list.
@Panqiuyan what I suggest is to start by reading stories about LGBT+ people by LGBT+ people! There's no concise answer to such a broad question. You should read their stories, follow LGBT+ communities, news, topics, and use common sense. To start you off:
Under edit series there is this checkbox "This series may contain explicit content and parental advisory is required.(optional)" however it works for all series and not separate episode, you may also add a disclamer at the begining of the episode
Well that goes in the slot as a translation. If you translate something across different mediums, there's an artistic credit to be claimed. The closer the source is to the end result, overall, the less credit you get. There's also the line between expression and skill. Some favor art that requires…
Hey y'all, I wanted to share some useful information with everyone about an up-and-coming webcomic editing service through Level Ground Comics. The crew of Level Ground are all upperclassmen and grad students in the Sequential Art department at the Savannah College of Art and Design who want to be…
I thought webtoons was a ghost town where our dreams go to die unless you are making BL or romance comics [image]
