Hey! Have you ever tought about going on Tapas with your comic? There is a policy against nudes, but at least just the uncensored one. I heard that here they've taken down even shit like shirtless dudes

I actually have researched a lot of other comic hosting platforms before i decided to post Interstellar Theatre here, friend LOL! And Tapas was recced to me the most, but the thing is: if the viewers want to read chapters that have nsfw parts in them, they’ll have to make an account and pay to view. Currently, I only draw my comic in draft form because that’s all my free time allow me to, and I don’t want to charge people for reading my sketchy, unpolished drafts. So yeah… Tapas was off my list.

And yes, the rumor is true, tumblr has been flagging and hiding my shirtless men as well (Q Poppa…) and I’ve appealed and am waiting for a long time, but they’re still in the appeal content list ayyy…. This is why I’m now posting my art on my pillowfort and twitter instead, I don’t trust tumblr’s shitty algorithm, at all. I mean, can you? Ayyy

[garnetquyen]

Update!

Fear not, friends!

You can still reach me at my twitter here!

And for everyone who are interested in my written work/fanfics, here is my ao3!

I’ll probably gonna post my nsfw fanart and fanfics on these if tumblr is really going to enforce their new policy on the platform ayyyy! AND ALSO!!! Does anyone know when Pillowfort is gonna be officialy available to the public?! I’m very interested in making a new home there, for obvious reason hahaha;;;

So far I’ve had some of my drawings flagged, even the perfectly safe pics (Q Poppa being shirtless…), and honestly, it would not be a surprise for me if their bots are gonna flag/censor LGBTQ+ posts as well in the future ://///, so much for self discovery and expressing hmmmm.

[garnetquyen]

REBLOGGING FOR MORE UPDATE!

Now you can find me on PILLOWFORT!

Many thanks to @rozf for being super generous and sharing a joining code :’DDDD <3333

It’s still very empty for now, but I’ll slowly build it into a new cozy home for myself LOL!

[garnetquyen]

Reblogging one more time before The D Day = v = d

If anyone is wondering, I won’t delete my tumblr account, but who knows what would happen to it in the future hmmm...

One thing I know for sure that I won’t be able to upload my comic Interstellar Theatre (or many of my art) on tumblr anymore, since the later plots in the story will surely tickle the new guidelines aayyy!

But I’ll be sure to update about Interstellar Theatre on Twitter and Pillowfort if I found a perfect site to host for everyone to read!

Pillowfort is down for server maintanence and security updates until wednesday, after which I believe they will be offering paid codes again....won't be free for a while though because it's difficult to build out that much server space.      

rozf

Pillowfort is down for some security issues, but i have a reg code or two from the Kickstarter if you want one.

Thanks, friends! I’ll make sure to check out the site once it’s back up! Hopefully I could call it my new home soon haha <3333

Reblogs are massively appreciated TT

[garnetquyen]

Hi quyen, I'm a big fan of your art and I've been following your blog for a couple years now! Your circus story is amazing and I love the characters<3 do you have advice for some one wanting to make their own web comic like you did? I have so many ideas of my own but can never seem to fully flesh them out...

Aaayyy thank you for being a long time follower of my shenanigan of a blog ehehe :’)))) <333

And advice for making comic? Of course! But this is going to be quite a read, so sit down, friend, and have a cup of steaming hot tea while we’re at it!

Disclaimer: this is my own process of working on my stories, other artists and authors might do it differently.

First thing first: Pick one idea and pin it!

It’s great that you have a creative mind and lots of ideas, (I feel you on this part, friend!) but if you actually want to put your pen down and start drawing your comic, you have to pick ONE that you feel the most interested in, and willing to invest a lot of your time and effort to work on it, especially when you want to post this regularly on a webcomic site (and decide to monetize it).

Since I’m only posting my comic drafts (not fully polished comic) on tumblr for now, I, fortunately; can work on it whenever I want, or when I have time to spare in between my other projects. But with a webcomic that demands regular update you’ll want to plan ahead carefully with a schedule, so it will be less stressful when the deadlines come.

Then you can start brainstorming and expanding from the idea that you have picked. It’s fine if you are still struggle at some parts, just note down your ideas for the story and the rest will come and fit themselves in the plots!

Secondly: Do research

Even if you’re not doing historical genre like I am, there are still many elements you should look up information for like world building, currency, maps, technology, etc.

It doesn’t have to be 100 accurate since there are a lot of information that we don’t have access to, but you should try your best and look up as much as you can. And remember: References are your friends! Even now I still do a lot of research on each part of my comic, and I always have references of old Victorian London in a specific timeline, as well as the 19th century London maps open whenever I feel like I need them (which I do a lot!)

Thirdly: Character designs and development:

There is no rules when it comes to design the characters you want, the stars of your show. However, your characters need to start from somewhere; they might have suffered from traumatic past, have a few failures on the way and learn their ways with life, it’s up to you.

The point is: you need to show how they grow throughout your story, how they change getting from point A to point B (I recommend making charts or notes for each character’s important parts and events if you can),  that’s what makes the readers feel more connected with your characters, IMO.

Beside these 3 important points, there are a few other things you can consider, like whether you want to draw it in classic comic format or webcomic (scroll down to read) format, how many chapters should your story have, where is the best platform to host your comic, etc. These are the things you should decide yourself though.

I hope this is a thorough enough advice for you, and best of luck on starting your own story! 8′FFFd

INTERSTELLAR THEATRE CHAPTER 1-PART 5

Previous part

Masterpost

For this part, I recommend you listening to this beautiful recomposed piece of vivaldi’s four seasons while reading! *7*///<333

*Pats self hard in the back until it hurts, for finishing this and for taking so long...* ayyyy!!! ;;;;7;;;; it’s so close YET so far away for Riley, Quincy, and Alan to be in the same panel LOL! Amost there!! ROARS!

[garnetquyen]

You just know Charles is waiting at home for Erik to get back so they can thoroughly ruin that uniform.

The Queen would not be happy hearing about it… but as long as they keep it a secret in the bedroom, I guess… EHEHEHE~ e///7///e!!!

[garnetquyen]

OH MY!!! *Takes out phone and snaps hundreds of pics of these Royal Marine Cadets!!!* 8′FFFF snapsnapsnap!

I had been wanting to draw Q Poppa in a military uniform for one of the monthly pics, kinda like a reminiscence of the time I used to wear one myself for a short military training course. Eventhough it doesn’t look as regal and badass as the Royal Marine ones ayyyyy////// <333

[garnetquyen]
