SMACKJEEVES COMIC RECS PART 4

The cool comics NEVER STOP from appearing in front of my eyes in Smackjeeves…!  Here are the previous parts: Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3

SPOOKY BABES is about a pack of werewolves (and some vampires too!) trying to fit in a modern society. The art-style is soooo chunky and cool and I love looking at it. 

Café Amargo is set in 30’s South America and seems to be about some intriguing FAMILY drama.. I really like where this is going and the style is like.. european shoujo.. 

Pahantekijä tells of ye alternative olde Finland (I think??), a bald lady-priest who rides a GIANT RAM and grotesque vampires (just the way I like ‘em)! Real swell use of ink!

Sandwitch Hills has a seeeeriously gorgeous style and a big gallery of monstrous and adorable characters with variety in every kind of way. Chubby cyclops protag eeeeeee! I’m looking forward to the unfolding of the story.

Toil and Trouble has MAGICAL GIRLS that are drawn absolutely beautifully and that is all that you need to tell me and I’m on board BUT AS A BONUS the story is already in just a few pages promising to be adorable as HECK

Adalsysla is intriguing me enough with the history and mythology of Estonia that is eerily similar to our finnish one, but ALSO it is just absolutely adorable because I can see the love that is poured on this comic and how much fun the author is having with her characters and I can’t be helped but to be swooped right in.

I love Smack Jeeves and the way it’s set up, but I kind of wish admin would spruce it up/make it more modern and try to make it relevant again… I feel like new sites like Tapastic are going to leave it in the dust.

I haven’t posted here in a while but just reminding that this blog still exists if anyone still wants to send in confessions/opinions about SJ

Mod Post

Hello all,

Just posting to say that asks / submissions are open because the ask box has been kinda empty today.

Welcome to deviantart Confessions! We are a new confession blog to replace the recently deleted DeviantartConfessions. We never intended to make a blog but we did not like the new replacement for dA confessions due to the admin advertising her own social media and seemed like a troll. 

If you have any suggestions for the blog we’d be happy to hear them.

WordPress/ComicPress is Better

ComicPress gives webcomic artists more power! Smack Jeeves only gives you the sub-domain and gives you less power. I would suggest you use ComicPress more than Smack Jeeves (if you have one or more domains registered, for example, one domain for your portfolio and blog, the other for your webcomic) — or use the Tumblr platform or the WordPress.com platform.

I'm well aware that someone else brought dAConfessions back, but is there any particular reasons you didn't feel like running it anymore?

Grew tired of keeping up with it all, and I’ve stopped using DA overall. So I think it’d be better if other people who were actually still active in the community be the new mod(s) so I don’t think it’d make much of a difference if other people wanna run it/similar blogs. Other than any rule changes/personal ways the new mods might decide to run it, it’s basically the same blog. Not answering any more questions about this, sorry.

My apologies for any inconvenience the theme changing may have caused. I’ve finally settled on one that I find suitable for the blog and the disqus has been re-added. In order to access the disqus, all you have to do is select the “eye” symbol underneath the post (which says view post)

As of...

Hi! I'm an admin for the new deviantart-confessions, we'd like to ask if we could become affiliates and if you could promote our new blog to your followers? Thanks for your time!

Sure

This is a little off-topic but what happened to the DeviantART confessions blog?

This was already answered, but it has been remade (same url) now by a different mod, sorry for the inconvenience

COMFYCON IS COMING.

ComfyCon is an all-online mini-convention, founded and run by webcartoonists. Danielle Corsetto and Randy Milholland are the founders, and this year’s weekend of panels and sales will feature myself, Ryan Estrada, Kel McDonald, Zach Weinersmith, Howard Tayler, and more!

All ComfyCon “panels” will be via UStream or Google Hangout, and this year’s line-up includes chances to request art live from your favorite cartoonists, education panels on Kickstarter and Manga Studio 5, writing panels, story time panels, art jams, and more.

There will also be sales in the stores of the participating artists! AUGH CAN YOU EVEN.

Follow the hastag #ComfyCon on Twitter and tumblr to keep abreast of last-minute panel announcements! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME EVERYONE

UPDATES

Okay so basically I took this url since the old blog was removed. I will be fixing it up and starting it up again. I will not be hiring mods. I have a friend that will be posting other than me. So there’s that. I will get this up and fixed up asap- Thanks for your time.

I roll my eyes every time a porn comic's FANS get indignant when the porn comic is told to pack up for violating the TOS. Doesn't matter how long the comic has been running "unnoticed". Breaking TOS is breaking TOS.

So I went to the SmackJeeves forum to ask about the link problem and here’s what I was answered (pink highlight by me). So if you had the problem, what did you do about the mature content warning? Does this happen with a computer or only mobile? Also if you’re able to, please share your comment on this forum thread "Begin Reading" link takes me back to main site, so this will be faster and easier to solve. Thanks!

I'm starting to like the "slice of life'/non-storyline based comics more out of the others at this point. 

[smackjeevesconfessions]

What happened to DAConfess?

I didn’t feel like running it anymore, someone else can just remake it if they want. (It was a sideblog so even if I added people as mods I’d still get the messages in my inbox anyways) I’ll still run SJ Confessions though this is still fairly inactive b/c of lack of posts but I have less free time overall anyways, sorry for any inconveniences but there’s plenty of similar blogs out there like artist-gossips and such people can use as an alternative.

As I’m going through the posts on here, I just kind of have to cackle to myself the importance regarding the number of favs/fans. Sure, a webcomic can only thrive off of a fan base, but it’s amazing how utterly religious its become. I had a webcomic that was around 1500+ subscribers and I lost around ten fans every other update. Did that stop me from growing double that amount every other update as well? Nope. Beginning artists/authors need to stop being discouraged by the number, and focus on the product. If you look confident in the product, they will come.
