Anyone else have weird habits when they draw or write?

I stick out my tongue If I'm in the zone and I'm listening to some good music, I have a tendency to shake my ass in my seat.

What inspires you to keep your comic going?

So that's when I go for the second reason: Other people read/like my story. I have a folder for my bad days called "Motivation". It's right next to the folders that c…

On this page, I also used a few paintbrushes to get some more textures: [image] Then I go into Photoshop to add tones and finish i…

Aw, I'm glad you like Alone so far!! At the moment I'm not keeping up with all of the comics on my list very well, but I'll still recommend Kamikaze for anyone who likes futuristic dystopian action and all of that

How long will you live?

"You have a moderately long lifeline; the period between 50 and 60 years is an unpredictable phase in your life. Exercise extra care during that phase." Hmm.

Casual readers VS dedicated fans

But people were responding to Little Bigfoot about the inherent elitism of saying that 'casual readers don't belong on Tapastic'...all readers belong on Tapastic.

Your Top 3 Tips or Product Recommendations for Art Creation

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen. If you love traditional inking, but you're like me and you're too damn clumsy for a brush and need some extra control, buy this pen.
