Admiral pizza is your new favorite pizza powered superhero. Better then a mere captain.. He has 2 action packed books and a 3rd is coming VERY SOON. He was also mentioned in PMQ pizza magazine, has a videogame on the playstation 4 made in dreams. An animated series is being produced. You can keep up with the story on TAPAS. m.tapas.io/series/Admiral-pizza-/infoI wanted to thank you incredible pizza warriors for nearly 500+ views on my tapas this month!! I will never give up, never stop fighting till pizza for all is achieved. For pizza is the right of all sentient life forms.

rate my comic idea>not-littleredridinghood's violent racism towards furries drives society and her friends away from her, she tries to be a better person but gets fed up with it and starts sending yiffers to god.

>>117380470Future Storytime of Pain/10

>>117380470Okay but give it a Warhammer 40K aesthetic.

>>117380574warhammer is elves and orcs and shit in space killing eachother, isnt it? im only really aware of it from seeing threads on /tg/ now and then.

How is my idea for a setting for a capeshit comic? Basically superheroes do exist but they live on another plain of existence, everything around them is still normal except any damage done in battles doesn’t affect any people outside of the plain of existence. The plain is called “the surge” all the heroic energy and the villainous energy. Kind of basic black and white I know but I gotta expand on it, I was thinking that entering into the surge would be kind of like kamen rider esc in transformation. I think a lot of heroes and villains would use the surge as a way to cope with certain aspects of their past and life.

>>117380641Okay but then why would you want to stay on this plane of existence if the cool shit happens on the other side?

>>117380685I think it would seem cool on paper but hell, like some people enter into it on accident and can’t live normal lives due to it.

>>117378374thanks my dude

>>117380703Okay, it wasn't clear if the two dimensions interacted much or if there were drawbacks from crossing over. I think you should give people reason to want to see what happens in the normie zone. Maybe a bit of drama or whatever.

>>117377252I advise you to just do lots of little short stories and one shots. Maybe one of them will lead to a bigger story, and even if not, at least you are making new pages in the meantime instead of stressing about how you don't know which project to focus on.YOU GOT THIS>>117379372Hyw was born to die younghere is the newest Oi update.

I had to post every day last Inktober, the only way I got a paltry 2k views. Subs were a fraction of a fraction of a fraction. Do not worry about views or anything until you’re at a point where you’re Consistently pumping out quality content. It’s a war of attrition.The Admiral is on the up and up.

>>117405937It does have a certain appeal.>>117406528You clearly have a lot of talent to make up for any missing skill at the moment. Look at the relatively even shapes of those word bubbles.

I haven't been drawing at all really or been finishing up pages for my webcomic since i'm on break, but today I looked at my webcomic and honestly I hate how I layout my pages, like the panels, speech bubbles and so on....It looks boring. So I decided to make this quick rough page to test things out and make things look more interesting on the page even if it just looks a little more interesting. I've been recently looking at things like all these different manga's specifically their pages and they just look good. So I took things from them that I like and keep the same kind of formula I still use to draw my pages. It still needs work but yeah, I will still colour and shade the same way I currently do for my pages too nothing may probably change their. Anyway what does everyone think? What do you like/hate about it? I might make some more in the future to test other things out and also after I get some criticism.

Started a small anthology thing about my life experiences but after some day dreaming the comic is becoming a conspiracy thriller, which defeats my previous purpose of just telling dumb personal stories.So oddly enough my protagonist went from being a Mary Sue, to a full fledge character that is nothing like me, and now I gotta push the fucker back into Mary Sue territory

>>117411359Looking good

>>11740847512k over a year is incredibly poor growth. What are you doing?

>>117405289At least you're trending in the right direction, now you just need to make your work appealing.

>>117411689The poses look definitely dynamic. The layout provides a good level of interest. The composition in the bottom panel works very well. Studying how other people do layouts is always a great place to start. Kind of a lot of chicken scratching everywhere with these roughs, which is a bit excessive.

Do you guys ever do filler insert pages?

Oh wow, I guess using McDonalds wifi means I'm not range-banned.I seriously need to buy a real ISP, but using mobile is cheaper... Is there a place where we can discuss webcomics forever?Like on the tapas forums or anything? I lurk this thread whenever it comes up, but I am muted and can't give you guys the replies I wanna give, or answer OP questions... It kinda sucks, but it also keeps me from chatting all night and able to use my free time to draw my webcomic.

>>117413745then are you buying views from the same place Swordsguy buys Reddit upvotes?

>>117412809This amuses me. I should do more things like this.

>>117413760I mean, if anything this shows many of us understand nothing of how to market our work. It's arguably a skill as important as art.

New idea guys tell me what you think.>Blaggbeard da Swagg PirateBreakdown of the prologue episode>Quintavarius Brown is a lazy, ignorant, unemployed, drug-addicted, violent and impulsive convicted criminal superpredator. >But noticing things is racist now so we can't say that.>He's a good boy who went to church every Saturday, was turning his life around by studying to be an doctor-astronaut, and who generally speaking didn't do nothin. >That is, until his poor life choices caught up with him. >One afternoon on his way home from doctor-astronaut school, Quintavarius was approached by a young gentleman who also and equally didn't do nothin. >He demanded the sweetass Jordan 1s Quintavarius was wearing, and when Quintavarius refused, he was shot 2,570 times in broad daylight. The young man didn't even take his shoes.>Lying on the sidewalk in a pool of his own blood, Quintavarius' life of crime flashes before his eyes and he slips into a coma. >But a strong rocking sensation disturbs his infirmed slumber.>Quintavarius awakens to find himself lying on a wood planked floor, in a pool of his own vomit instead and surrounded by a small crowd.>Still dazed, he looks around for a familiar face and finds none, just a bunch of white dudes in strange garb.>"Captain, are you feeling quite alright?"

>>117414153as important to ... "success" sure, not as important to making good art.

>>117413927>it's photoshop>you buy them>these couldn't possibly be organicIf I was trying to tell you that your page views are low because you're not spending enough money, I would have said so at the beginning. Why can't you even imagine the possibility of being successful without cheating?

>>117415052because the only person we know of that "successful" is unironically a cheater

what's a decent pay rate for background artists? I'm thinking of hiring one to make production of my comic go faster

>>117415052Its hard to take you seriously when you literally wont tell us anything. You wont tell us how you market/shill, you wont post art, and you say it isnt a competition yet all you do is talk down to everyone and post your alleged 70,000 views.Either do something helpful or fuck off.

>>117415269depends on who they are and their skill leveli've heard people paying $50 for entire pages so logically someone just doing backgrounds should be less than that

>>117415269do you work digitally? why not make background illustrations to keep on hand and copy into your comics?

>>117407396Lucky me I'll be adding a -pink- rabbit in the comic soon. It'll surely boost the views, just you wait.>>117407481kek>>117408475Oh I'm getting better at this craft day by day, don't you worry. Views don't keep me awake either, I do this because I have to, not for validation. I'm not really surprised at how constant your visits are, they go hand in hand with your own consistency it seems. I wonder if you don't need more waifus to attract new eyes and eventually corrupt everything.>>117410516I won't make the same mistake as last year but new ones instead.

>>117415269around $80-$110 USD, ballpark number for a good artist.Generally there are a three key factors to know about commissions: >Experience+Knowledge+Creativity = CostA less experienced artist will obviously cost less, and when they believe they have more mileage, the price goes up. Find someone that fits your budget.

I average 500 views per month, even when i dont update for a full month, and I dont shill whatsoever beyond my own twitter account.I think it would be more popular if I shilled more, but it isnt joke a day "so relatable" garbage or boys love, so I dont even know where to go.Doesnt matter, I think i'll hit meme status once I get a cringy enough panel.

>>117415619I never noticed before the text actually legibly says 'oldster Abraham Simpson'

These are my numbers for Tom N Artie. I don't advertise as much as I should. Before January 2019, I wasn't updating (we take time to build up on pages before release) but I notice a more steady increase after the issue is finished. I will start putting more pages per update on next issue as I think that will help increase views, I have been steadily advertising more on both Twitter and FB. Generally being more engaging lately has been helping more and more.
