When and how to start?
Questions

Do it. Literally, just do it. That said, I'd highly recommend writing down the entire story first, because that's what I did and it worked for me. Might not work for you, but at least having a basic outline written down will be a lifesaver. I have my whole comic written out as a script, I just need …

What is the history behind your username?
Questions

I got tired of my old username (which was before I joined Tapas, but I used a variant of it on most of my socials), which was based on a throwaway line from Scott Pilgrim (the comic, not the movie). Last August, I got serious about trying to come up with something new, mashing together words/concept…

Why Did You Choose Comics?
Art | Comics

Part of it is that I simply love comics. Part of it is that I couldn't imagine Pale Rider as being anything else. It just was meant to be. I have a (normal, pictureless) novel in progress and a goopy, unsteady setting that I imagine as an animated series, but Pale Rider just had to be a comic. I cer…

Ahoy! I'm genderfluid and lesbian (though I'm also fine with just "queer"). Pale Rider isn't about being queer, but nearly all the characters are queer and/or non-cis. Orin in particular is a trans lesbian, and I love her. In any case, if you like urban fantasy and/or revenge quests, I've got the s…

I'm gonna set my bar low and hope for 25 subs by the end of the year. Pale Rider is about getting dragged into a century-long revenge quest when all you wanted to do is take a damn vacation. Updates once a week at the moment; hoping to boost that in the future depending on my schedule.

Where/when should I post bonus content?
Questions

I'm curious to hear what you guys think about this. For context: I'm working on a three-page comic that's about an important event in my villain's backstory. My final assignment in my illustration class is to do that, so I figured, why not make it part of the comic I already have? Well, sort of. …
