oh hey so just a head’s up that apparently Tapastic has made a weird decision about Right of First Refusal on their ToS and while it’s all kind of, confusing as to what it all means I may be taking TPoH down from the site if it seems like a Bad Time? because I am really trying hard to get volume 2 to be a thing and frankly I don’t got time for confusing legal nonsense, that said I really don’t know what even is the deal with this yet so I don’t want to jump start any panic- if anyone has a better notion of ‘what the fuck’ please let me know!
edit: haha oh wow I’m out bye tapastic sorry folks I don’t take no chances
(also just to clarify this isn’t me leading an example or wanting in any way to start drama over all this, but there are certain things currently in the works for my comic right now and I cannot afford to jeopardise opportunities that I’ve worked towards for literal years, so, it’s been fun and it was a nice site to post on as a rule but I’m calling it quits while the going is good)

The Caves of Introspection are a place in TPoH which I’m not sure will actually end up being in the comic but I drew this rando character hanging out there anyway and I like her.
Anonymous asked: Hello! i admire you so much it hurts. im an aspiring webcomic-artist, and id love to hear your opinions and advice on the matter. anything to say to a newbie?
Heck, you’re in for a ride good buddy. I guess the main thing is not to wait ‘until you’re ready’ and never start, because I know for a fact I still don’t think I’m ready to start a web comic, and I’ve been making one for like five years now, so. Best of luck, and just enjoy the process and the learning!
Well, firstly shucks you’re welcome and thanks gosh didn’t really know I was doing that, but in terms of method I think it’s because I tend to love the characters I’m drawing? It’s also very tactile, like, I try to imagine what it would be like to hug them, or pat them on the head! It might sound silly but having an idea about what texture they have, how cuddly or boney they are, what holding their hand would feel like- it helps me learn to draw them and I guess respect them as people. I like having that sense of volume and interaction when I draw, but a lot of it is about respect. There’s also this thing called ‘appeal’, which is in the list of the 12 basic principles of animation that Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas introduced (which are just really good things to know about in terms of drawing too) so I guess it’s something related to that? Having said that it’s all a bit vague and I’m not really smart enough to know what I’m doing, or what about it makes characters ‘look attractive’, I just draw and try to get it there.
