Slow burn relationships are the best! Especially when you get a good push and pull in there and you throw in a few misunderstandings and awkward moments along the way. x3 Also...a perfect example of the HEA getting ruined thing is Tyler Perry's awful Why Did I Get Married films. In the first one,…
As a romance writer and considering all my favorite comfort films are all rom-coms, I'm pretty deep in the romance pit. I love stories of true love and deep connections, with witty banter and (mostly) clean content. That being said, I don't just enjoy romance for romance's sake. It has to make sens…
Thanks for offering! Your comic looks pretty interesting, I will give it a looksee. I am a huge sucker for fantasy (and elves... assuming the character in the cover image is elven!). Here's my current comic! On a momentary hiatus but will be up and running again soon! https://tapas.io/series/Equi…
I got my comic style out of knowing I'd have to crank out pages. I wanted to do a style that was quicker than my usual, but not simplified and still felt like "me". The actual style itself is pretty much the same as my usual semi-realism style. But I decided to go with cel shading because it made co…
My main character Nealani has a lot of sweet moments with her mother. The first chapters of my story deals with Nea's experience of her people's coming of age ritual and she confides in her mother a great deal. Granted, being 111 years old is far from being a "young protagonist", and to humans she i…
I have never been into comics. Oh I went through a shojo manga phase as a kid and I occasionally but seldom read graphic novels. Actually I barely any read books at all. But I made a comic because it's the only accessible and non-costly way to get my ideas out of my head, the way they look inside my…
Did an illustration of my WoW night elves dressed up for this Winter Ball fan event on twitter ^_^ [image] Had fun making this... it's a little out of my norm (usually I do bright colors and ethereal, dreamy themes). They're the main characters in my comic Equilibria (although I'm just on the i…
@joannekwan Also suggested a similar idea and I love this! A relationship map that keeps track of where they are emotionally within the union would probably help a lot. That way it's not all just in my head and I can keep the flow more consistent. Having that "where did that come from?" sudden r…
Oh like an emotional map for their relationship! That's a great idea! Well, thankfully I'm doing a slow burn, friends-to-lovers trope, which eliminates the insta-love issue....but I am more worried about this being too drawn out. Which brings up the issue that, if it feels like they aren't at a …
Thank you! Well the good news is, I have most of their background, how they met, and details of it planned out. They have been friends for decades, but focus on outside things (growing up, careers, life goals, life paths, etc). So I don't have to worry about making a meetcute moment and worrying i…
Thank you, first of all! I think right now, the good news is, my characters are certainly in a slow burn... they are in a "friends to lovers" relationship that takes a good 200-ish years to develop to an actual romance (granted, it's sped up plotwise, for the sake of readers XD). I just don't wa…
So I may be wording this weirdly, but I'll try to explain best I can. My current comic Equillibria is not an example for my point quite yet, because I've just started posting it and it hasn't gotten to the actual romance yet. However, I have carried this worry with me for every romance story I…
For sure! And it's especially great when you factor in color theory and using the color of the sky and atmosphere to set the mood and reinforce the emotions of characters. It's a necessary evil xD It does seem that way... It's might be the same reason why math people enjoy math more than art and …
For me it's just the more technical stuff. Backgrounds, objects, anything mechanical, or more angular. I draw very sketchy and fluid and a lot of round and organic shapes. I try to do my best and use whatever tools and tips and tricks I can find, but I just don't enjoy drawing objects and buildings …
The type of ending you story has shouldn't be defined or confined to its genre. Give it an ending that makes sense. Don't end with an epic final battle if it's not something you're naturally interested in and not something you enjoy writing/drawing. End it with the natural ending it deserves to have…

I just started posting my first comic! It's a romance/drama with a little adventure, inspired by the game World of Warcraft, involving my own characters from the game.
