Wait or Pay for scheduled updates

Aw, really? I don't remember that D: Thanks for your input ;-; I get that creators end up using patreon, but you can earn tapas coins/ink for free :0

Wait or Pay for scheduled updates

I don't know if anyone suggested this, but wouldn't it be nice if creators could activate wait or pay for their scheduled episodes? I mean, you schedule your updates for, say, 3 weeks later. If anyone wants to read it now, this person can pay tapas coins (now ink). Of course, it would be up for crea…

I don't actually complain about the $25 min when webtoon's new ad revenue system expects you to accumulate $100 before you can even dream about your money :C

Oh it was not supposed to be a direct reply to @joannekwan , sorry! :0

I think hardly anyone buys coins nowadays. I mean, you can get those for free with a little bit of patience. People are more inclined towards patreon and ko-fi when they wanna give you their real money. Also, remember it's $25 min for your TOTAL revenue (ad rev. + tips)

I don't know if I understood you, but the point is reader #1 gives 50 coins reader #2 gives 300 coins reader #3 gives 100 coins And so on. It builds up actually pretty easily.

When did you have your biggest jump on subscribers

I think it was a daily snack (never got to actually see it), but I had a 600 sub jump overnight last year

Did tapas update its sub count rounding methods?

Hi there! I noticed something and decided to ask out of curiosity. Tapas always rounded my sub count to the nearest decimal (like, if I had 1.510 subs it'd show 1.5k, but if I had 1.570 it'd show 1.6k) But today I woke up to it showing 1.5k, and I have 1.571 subs there. Also my other comic has 3…

Stabilizer question!

Hell yeah I use it. AND I set it to 14. I just LOVE how slow & fluid the cursor moves. It's so satisfying! But to each their own, I guess

Having multiple page reward on Patreon

I don't know if it's the easiest way, but I just paste all of my pages on a single, tall canvas. Then I save it as png or jpeg. Not the most enjoyable duty ever (especially when you're dealing with a slow machine), but does the trick and Patreon shows it just fine.

Yeah, but this option is not available to us yet. It's still on beta, it seems.

The Bitching thread 2.0

I don't know if anyone bitched about it yet, but I hate when people pledge stuff on my patreon, steal all patron-only content, then take off their pledge without paying anything. Please, Patreon, can you please do something about it? Ugh.

Most WTF comment you've ever recieved

I got one that went on about liking my comic so much that this person would be screaming if it wasn't for their gourmet lollipop. Then procceeded to elaborate on how Rainbow Sherbet is the best gourmet lollipop. I got one on an episode where my characters were talking about suicide attempts and we…

Discarding my webcomic buffer?

Tough. I think I'd start over, because they don't serve their purpose anymore. It didn't go to waste, anyway. You can probably look at them and point out things you're better at today (art and story-wise). Anyway can't you keep at least some of the panels? Maybe then you wouldn't have to redo EVERYT…

Real places used in your comics

Yeah, one of our chapters is set near our former college's pond. [image] [image] Not EXACTLY the same, but I like pretty flowers and buildings.

To color or not to color that is the question

From my personal experience with Tapas, readers do prefer color comics over b&w. Somehow it's harder for them to keep themselves interested in something monochromatic. But that doesn't mean a b&w comic will have no following at all, but will please some sort of a niche (mostly manga readers). At the…

I wanna make Comics...but cannot seem to stay motivated

Have you ever considered working with someone else? Maybe a fellow writer, or maybe another artist, or maybe just a friend who's willing to discuss ideas. From my personal experience, talking about my comic's future events with my partner is an instant boost of enthusiasm!

Share a song from your country!

I'm in love with this thread! Since I'm from Brazil, I figured you'd expect something like samba or bossa nova, but that would be too predictable. Here's one of the tackiest singers from my country. Rather catchy, tho

I need help on a panel

I think you need more contrast. Making darker shadows and whiter lights on the face might help!

And I'm not even exaggerating. It really got to me at the time. I caught myself wondering if my story was any good - or if my readers were just ignoring pages without any hint of "ship sailing". But yeah struggles of having "fujoshis" reading your content.

Creative teams do you ever get jealous of each other?

Yes and no. We're both writers and artists for our story, but Raven makes the backgrounds while I - Blue Jay - make the characters. Raven gets far more complimented on his art, I guess. But I blame the fact that it is a lot harder to find a good background artist than a good character artist - I mys…
