Where are you not seeing it exactly?

I do see Renfield - Book One: Malcolm (Digital Version) is uploaded with early access for super fans. Is that the one?

Loved it!

This is so cool!

Thank you for the feature! :D

Unfortunately, I don't have time to draw out a response but I don't mind answering in list form like MK-Wizard! ^^;

1. My first comics were probably the newspaper comics. I loved reading those as a kid. Don't do so anymore since I don't get a newspaper anymore. My first manga was probably Sailor Moon. I loved that comic!

2. I'm all about the manga. I don't really read any Western comics. Nothing against them at all, just don't find them as easy to get into. There have been a very few I have read though.

3. The biggest impact for me happened a few months ago when I went to Anime NYC and saw a live drawing by an artist I hugely admire, Boichi. He draws incredibly fast and incredibly detailed. It inspired me to draw better for sure. I was also extremely lucky to win an autograph from him (and the writer Inagaki) AND also a sketch that was by him!



4. I am all about the traditional art, but it is very difficult. I decided with my new comics to get digital and it was able to improve my art by a lot and very relatively quickly too. I still think the line quality of traditional is better than digital though. I haven't been able to replicate it...

5. I am mostly taught from school but I didn't go to school for comics, but graphic design. Regardless, learning graphic design helped me to improve my comic skills without a doubt. I even did my senior thesis on the connections between graphic design and comics. For making comics, I have followed tutorials and have been studying various artists and their techniques.

6. So so many to name but one of my biggest inspirations growing up was Fujisaki Ryu. The style of his art blew me away and really resonated with me. Tanemura Arina was another artist who also inspired me a lot as well as Kaori Yuuki. You can probably tell influences from them in my own style, especially with the big eyes with long eyelashes. I JUST LOVE DRAWING EYELASHES! ^^;

Welcome new people! :D

@yayaoyuyingstudio Just read the first chapter of JingKu and it was so good! I hope you post it here too!

I mentioned this in the discord chat, but for me personally, I would like to quit my day job so I can draw comics 100%. At least I know I will be able to eventually... after I retire, but I would kind of like to start doing it sooner than that. :)

That's just the ultimate success though. Before that there are many small successes for me... such as earning more followers, more patrons, views, etc.

For sure! That's why I am adding in the panels as I upload. I actually use desktop almost 100% for comic viewing, so full page is personally better for me. Of course, not everyone is going to have the same preference, so I'm adding them in for those people. Gotta consider how the readers may feel and that trumps how I do.

@AhkwardKat Wow, thank you! :D I love your style as well. Your artwork is seriously amazing! I just started reading and following it. 

Just English and intermediate Japanese (was able to pass JLPT N3). Not enough to translate my comic. :(

There should have been a notification on-site for it. I haven't enabled email alerts for that just yet while we figure out if that would be too spammy. We're also, in the longer term, looking at having a frequency setting for email alerts that would choose between "as it happens, daily, weekly, etc". This might be a good thing to put in place before adding too many more email alerts to the system :)

Ok, I DO see one now. Strange, I didn't see one earlier.

I tried out my comic on my phone and I'm surprised the panel by panel would be the more popular option. I guess it depends on how the comic is made since I make mine with a page in mind, not by individual panel.

I'm having some issues with the scrolling though because sometimes it goes backwards. I see that scroll up goes backwards and scroll down goes forwards, but sometimes I'm scrolling down and it goes backwards. I'm using a Galaxy S5.

Thank you for answering everything!

When viewing comics, there's currently zoom out, zoom in, and full screen options. What about options for view actual size and fit to height?

I'm sure this will come up eventually as it always does, what about mature content? Will there be a tag, warning, etc for comics with mature content? What will GC consider as mature content?

Do readers actually use and prefer the panel-by-panel animation viewing? I tried it once and it seemed jarring, tried it on my comic and it seemed kind of neat, and then tried it again on another comic and it was again just too jarring and distracting. Has there been testing of which option keeps a reader's attention the longest?

Could there also be an option to have the default view be the full page and then readers could turn on interactive if they prefer it? The way my comic works is by seeing the full page first, rather one panel.

I'm a bit confused by my personal profile, my creator profile, and then my comic profile. It seems like a lot. Could a creator profile have more than one personal profiles attached? Like if a writer and an artist are working on the same comic? But it also seems like my comics are not attached to my personal profile at all. So if I click on someone's name here in the forums, I can't see a list of comics they make. 

I saw a comment left on my comic but didn't receive a notification for it.

ONE MORE - There seems to be a mix of using "following" and "enabling alerts" which I think are essentially the same thing. Is there a difference?

Sorry for the question spam. I really love the layout and look of this site so far and am really interested in using it more for my comics.
