Couldn't all the flyfin stuck in the whales form together with all their strength left to at least help the children get out?

They could very easily.

Hello, miss Wendy!

Sorry, I don't know if anyone asked you this before, but do you have any tips on how to grow an audience as a comic artist?

I've been drawing my comic for three years already, and, well, I admit, it's been a very slow pace (like a chapter once a month of few, since it’s not my main job), so maybe that's the problem. But anyway, I feel like I don't know how to properly present my stuff to people, except publishing my work on some resources like WEBTOON/Tapas, etc.

Maybe you've encountered a similar problem in the past?

And I feel like I said it everywhere but here already, but Castle swimmer has a very special place in my heart, thank you for creating it!! And congratulations on publishing volume 1!!!🐠

Thank you!!

And some tips I could give is to try and be very active in online art communities. Promote your stuff but also try and talk to other artists at a similar level as you and boost their work so you can become friends and grow together. Building an audience is a skill in itself and can take a bit of social and networking skills. It can also take a long time.

I was active online for about 5-6 years before I started to grow a decent following. And I’m pretty sure I posted way less often than you did so don’t stress too much about your output. It’s not your main job so just do what you can!

Another thing I did early on was draw a good deal of fanart for fandoms I was interested in and that helped to get me started. However, if you want people to follow you specifically for your original work, it’s a good idea to focus on that.

It can take a while but my advice is to just keep working on your art and comics, be as active in online art and comic communities as much as you’re able and always try to grow and improve your work.

Also, if you’ve already been making a comic for three years that’s incredible and it’s way farther than most people get who want to make comics. You should be proud of that!
