You're right, I need to focus more on the positive comments. It just seems so easy to get sucked into the negative at times. I'll do my best to keep the supportive responses in mind. Thanks

I see. Maybe I could do a survey asking what they would prefer. If they prefer 2 weeks that's more content to drop and less work for me doing editing week by week haha! Thanks for the advice

I probably should take a break. It's just hard for me because I have this fear of losing what readers I have and if I let up at all, it won't go well. I'm probably blowing things out of proportion a bit but idk, I can't help it. Thank you. I will try to not stress on it and keep doing what I can.

It's been eating at me for a while. This nagging voice telling me that I'm not working hard enough or I'm not completing pages fast enough. Every week I try to release 3 to 5 pages of new content but i keep feeling as if it's not enough. This has been bugging me for a while but i kind of pushed it …

I have a script that probably only I could decipher but It works as a guide while planning panels. The majority of it is all dialogue and some vague descriptions of scenes that I match with images in my head. By no means is it an optimal way to work but it does the trick for me. I change so much mid…

I've been on a art spree lately. Here's one of my favs [image]

I drew this to celebrate my comic's birthday! [image]

It actually depends. For a lot of my more prominent characters, I've kind of taken after Akira Toriyama and Keiji Inafune by naming my characters puns or after music terms and objects. For some others I'll just mix some words that have different meanings that pertain to my characters personality. So…

I.. don't think anyone is envious of me. I'm not that enviable lol

I guess I'm disappointed in the way my art turned out in my early chapters. I spent like 2 years before releasing it tweaking my art style but someone told me that if I just kept tweaking instead of posting, I'd never post it. So I did. But the jarring change in art still bugs me lol. The othe…

I did recently have a dream about some older gentleman telling me to work harder or that I wasn't working hard enough. Something like that. Anyway, I've never seen the old guy before in my life but it was super vivid and when I woke up, my creators block was gone and I felt motivated to work.. Old…

This ^ I like this one as well haha

I may have told this before, but many eons ago, I had a buddy in the 3rd grade that would draw Dragonball inspired comics. The art wasn't the best, but everyday he would have a new update for me to read. I thought this was the coolest thing and I wanted to try it. Pretty soon I became obsessed wit…

I definitely deal with this. I just keep spamming the words in my head "There's at least one person that truely likes what you do, so do your best for them." It's a little difficult sometimes though, especially when you don't hear it as often, but I just try to keep those words in mind and whenever …

I want to thank you all for the advice and it was valuable knowing that there are others who know how I feel. I definitely don't feel as alone anymore so I'm grateful. I will try to keep my head up and try to look into therapy again. It took me a bit to work up the nerve to post this so I'm extremel…

Thanks, yeah it's been hard for me to see the worth in it but I think there is a consensus to try therapy again. I will try to push myself into finding one that can help.

Yeah it makes me not want to talk about it with anyone. But as for therapy I've had poor luck with it years ago. I might try to push myself back into trying again. Thanks Doki.

That's awesome that you've been able to keep going by not worrying about what can't be changed. I struggle so much with that. Even when I tell myself to forget and move forward my brain fixates on it again eventually. Im waiting for when it finally clicks. I do want to start walking myself or maybe …

Thanks Diego. As a guy it's hard to just be expressive and cry about things because of stereotypes and junk so I do hold back a lot which probably isn't good. I need to learn to get passed that thinking. Thanks for offering an ear to me, I really appreciate it.

Thanks Minerrale. A teacher of mine sent me to an on campus therapist once and it has turned me off from therapists because of how bad it was. It might be a bit before I consider seeing one again. Maybe I could ask my doctor about meds. I just feel weird about it. I'll try to keep going. Thanks for …

Odd question I know. And sorry if this is too long. Honestly can't believe I'm talking about this truthfully. But I've had these feelings for a while so I was curious if what I'm dealing with is pretty common. I'll try to explain as best I can. At times I find myself not knowing who I truly am …

Hey Zinx! I've definitely enjoyed my time on tapas. It's a wonderful community! I've learned a lot from many different people on here. I currently use Medibang Paint pro to make my comic. And spiciest? Hmm... I'd have to say a pad thai dish I had a year ago. I got the max level spice and it got …

Hello! I go by V. I joined tapas in August of 2018. I write and draw my webcomic Powernote 4, I'm actually pretty find of another comic called Villains. It's pretty good. 5, Fav food? Um... Anything spicy really. And for fav movie... I may get a bit of flack for it but I'm on the endgame hyp…

I'm loving the angle and composition of the falling panel. Your shading is really good as well! Your panels are quite expressive as well so overall it's great!

Here's my latest. Tis a cliffhanger. [image]

I drew stickers! [image]

We're fighting right now! [image] [image]

I usually upload 3-5 pages once a week. I'm super excited to share more with my readers but I usually fall back to keeping a consistent schedule which is super important In my opinion. Just keep thinking of the long term and keep telling yourself that your patience will pay off.
