Since the mature warning on episodes could be anything from crude language, to gore, to nudity, a lot of creators specify the warning in their creator's comment. But for some reason the mature warning doesn't just hide the episode, but the comment as well, which seems unnecessary? it'd be much mor…
we stan a rough n tumblr gun totin' lgbt couple [:blep:]
i wouldn't want any creator i follow to do that. what is kinda nice is little extra tidbits - not continue the main story, but maybe some extra art and short stories. a lot of comics big enough for that kinda demand have patreon or similar for that stuff tho!
all my characters are queer in one way or another hah, but here's these two fools!! [image] Baz, aroace [image] Djus, arobi and nonbinary! (from here )
I wanna put my whole library here but here's three I really like! (please look through my library they're ALL good ;-; ) Jon Gum's style, as well as Helen Saouma's colouring, really fits the mood of Carpenter. It reminds me of those kind of neo-noir type films, with morally grey characters inhabi…
This is a slice-of-life type thing, focused on two best friends android Baz and human Djus! Currently working up a buffer (:
some more i remembered: American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang. Three separate stories that connect towards the end, exploring Chinese identity, stereotypes, and especially in relation to the Chinese diaspora and growing up Chinese American. [image] Fun Home …
yes, THIS is extremely annoying. there's a couple of others upthread who have already mentioned being compared to anime in general, and that's just,,, a very fundemental misunderstanding of anime/manga. japan is a big place, they think everyone's gonna have the same style? lol I think it's com…
(i'll butt out after this one, I just remembered these two webcomics not hosted on Tapas!) Glass Scientists, a retelling of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Excellent pacing and comedic timing, wonderful characters, and you can tell the creator truly knows and cares about the classic sci-fi elements they …
Anything by Shaun Tan! Well, ok, I haven't read everything. But I have the Arrival, and I've read a couple of others. He just has the most gorgeous pencil work. His pieces are imaginative, and vast, but at the same time focuses on individuals and the little things. The Arrival has no dialogue or …
i feel like this could tie into the concept of "selling out" too - idk how common a term that is within this community, but it certainly is elsewhere. people need to make money! if that means sponsorships/doing a job outside of their passion, then so be it! chase that paper, like. we live in a capit…
!!! thank you so much!! that's very heartening. I did try to just learn by myself, but I find the extra step of actually publishing for someone to read pushes me into trying harder, you know? Carpenter the comic is absolutely sick looking too, and I already love Carpenter the character!
at least you try, i'm currently at the "blocks of colours count as BGs, right?" stage [:cry_02:] it's my film background [:sweat_02:] i studied it in college, both practical and theory, and it influenced a lot of how i read and create comics! oh tell me about it! i don't have a narrative…
i'm so excited to slowly introduce new characters! and I've had Baz and Djus live in my head for so frikken long, it's a relief to finally get them out and down on paper. i'm also pumped to get to the "heart" of the strip - aromantic characters! that was the whole point when i came up with this thin…
i think why i make comics and why i choose to publish them are two different things. Summary i make them because i genuinely want to. i have a ton of stories and ideas and characters in my head, i love playing around with them and create stories. i tried filmmaking for a bit, but there's too many…
double wings?? [:hohoho:] exciting!
that makes a lot of sense! aah yeah I can for sure see how that's majorly annoying. ty for explaining!!
woah!! at first it looks so sweet and summer-y, all warm colours and nice brush-strokes, and then I noticed uh... certain other elements. this is super intriguing! I really like the lettering too, it gives me that kinda... old school fantasy novel vibe, if you get me?
that's v valid, but i kinda disagree it's the worst thing ever to hear for artists! well, no, i'm not gonna disagree it is for you and others who feel that way, lol, you know yourselves best, i'm not about to say that's dumb. i for sure see what you mean though, it's about feeling like you're not …
I've heard conflicted opinions on this. Personally, I would be very flattered if someone said "Your art reminds me of (famous artist/artist they like)!" Obviously not if they're trying to say I'm copying a style (I never got this accusation, anyway. imo, no one has the sole right to an art style, …
[image] Here's mine, for Cupid's Aro! Tried to showcase their personalities and dynamic (:
Here's mine: And one I love, that I think deserves more subscribers! It's a lovely story by @sageflannery528 with scifi elements and a diverse cast, very lovable protagonists~
aw i really like your artstyle and pacing, i'm for sure gonna check the rest out :3
he IS cute!! never apologise for sparkles haha it's excellent!
I just updated with a page I'm kind of proud of! It's the start of several pages within the same storyline, but still readable as standalones
so cute! but also i do kind of want to see the thumbnail process of others, maybe should be a thread of that (i barely do it myself, as i'm not currently doing a story with a whole narrative over several pages. yours are so neat, i like seeing the planning process with the ?s and crosses and such!…
Here's mine! i kinda rushed it, so i think i'll redo it soon [image] I'd be very happy if ye checked it out!
oooh, I think either a kindly dragon to fulfil a childhood dream, or like proper big f--k-off troll! i wanna either fly or be VERY big
