I write the webcomic The Shapeshifter's Wife and the Novel Alchemist Burn Outs
I personally won't know exactly the situation behind these "people who risked everything and somehow things worked out" I don't deny these situations happen in real life. But as a person who in fact is alone and doesn't have the money to pay assistants I can tell one thing. I don't like these wh…
I am sort of frustrated with the backstory behind the creation of Cuphead becoming somewhat of this new standard of how people view indie projects. Yet the creator went to an extreme and was lucky it paid off in the end. Because you could end up with a Thief and the Cobbler situation which took al…
I prefer to not talk about my age :). There's been a lot of age shaming on the internet for people who are older than 20 lately for some reason, which also has caused others to criticize my artwork since 'I'm not good enough at the age of what I am'
Staff got back to me quick! That notification was sent out early by mistake. It will be sent out Monday with the full page and details~
Yeah, suddenly getting 65 subs in a day usually means you were featured on the app or site, either on the front page, or in the community tab.
Most definitely sounds like you were promoted on the app 
Next time if you see those bursts, check out all the places that you always see other comics/novels being promoted.
I think what your perspective is missing is that good art will multiply what is good in your story, this isn't an either or situation, it's just what makes art good in a comic is not the same as what makes art good in an illustration. You can be a really really good illustrator but not be the best…
I saw about this the other day but given how i rarely use the thing anyways I'm not too fussed; tho I did pay attention to a tweet i'd seen about a setting on there about allowing Discord to use your data (somewhere in the privacy section) so going in an checking to make sure that's off is at least …
Altho I agree with you I feel the need to state that this means someone ELSE can feed your art to Clyde. 
But like I think people need to understand that this is a general theft problem and not an AI problem- people are dicks and will continue to be dicks.
I do agree with you. I think some of the appeal of GoT was that is was violent and sexual. A lot of network television has to deal with strict regulation and censorship. HBO, being a private subscription network, does not need to follow these rules. When it came out in 2011, that was before a lot of…
I didn’t name the genre but when someone says YA books, they mean books for teenagers.
It's been rampant in fandom spaces for a while, genshin impact fandom being probably the best example with their pseudo-incest caused by mistranslation and schrodinger's adults you can't ship with anyone or you'll get called a pedophile And about the person dropping their work - damn... I feel like …
That's awesome, congrats! I'd definitely make sure you have some sort of banner or something to really show whatever name you're using, so that it's easy to memorize and notable. Make sure to bring snacks, water, some cleaning wipes, and hand sanitizer.
There are a lot of negative people out there who do this for a reason we don´t understand. Energy vampires
This is a great opportunity for folks to start thinking about their contract literacy. Contracts across the board regardless of the industry tend to be in language that can be difficult for a layman to understand. I think a major major thing people don’t understand and NEED to understand about co…
Now that I’ve cleared what I’m about to type isn’t violating any NDAs or so forth I can say that: A time ago I was made aware that Tapas was seeking writers for some IPs they (Tapas themselves) were developing. One of them was a romance and this is what I believe miqin to have applied to. I had co…
I think the chances of someone from Tapas proper directly addressing this are slim. They have hundreds of contracts of varying levels between artists, writers, and independent creators that depend on their involvement with each individual IP. I doubt the set standard they use for one carries across …
At least over the age of 18 (both the writer and the artist). If you aren't you can't participate in said programs in tapas. Just answering in case that was your doubt.
Im saying that contract was preditory. Period. Honestly thou and honestly kinda why tapas and other webcomic sites trying trying to attract abd cultivate a younger and younger user and creator base disturbs me more than anything. Cus younger people will sign into that kind of contracts (or even …
[image] Damn, that's a whoooole different level for sure.
i get that there's really only so much to be done since a contract was already signed even if it's clauses weren't noticed till later but i'm still miffed considering the person here is someone who's contributed a lot to tapas outside of their created works (the tapasfans search tool and the novel p…
Just did a quick check and see no mention on the discord, I'm not surprised though, my experience with the bonus ink from inktober thing, any serious criticism/discussion is discouraged there (partially because discord server format for a huge group discourages it in itself...) To be honest, I dou…
I'm surprised I haven't seen anything about this on the forums yet. I assume, hope, it's been brought up in the discord, so if it has please let me know since I don't plan on joining. [image] This artist is saying that not only has their series been cancelled but also their REVENUE SHARE is bein…
Honestly, looking at all of the stuff everyone has posted, I think you're all very talented. I found this conversation really interesting, and hope that one day I'll be pushing out "quick" work that looks as good as the things you all have done. Definitely opt for prioritizing the story and having c…
Oh, I will take this into account next year xD
Oh shoot I got lucky. My hiatus is almost up. But yeah, I've been studying my behind off on January-February and it started innnn... I wanna say February? I'll keep that in mind when we do Season 3.
I mean something has been happening esp around the times before and after Christmas but now it seems like it's dead in general. Taking a hiatus like @rajillustration mentioned might be a good solution so you don't wanna be frustrated however... it's late now lol last day of feb. I went through the n…
People are also complaining about the same thing on tiktok reddits. Seems like even they've been hurting.
Aight. Thanks for the advice! @rajillustration you too! I know for a fact that quality's most likely going to be better.
