Hi, do you have any tip for when you feel like your art is has stagnated, and just nothing it working out and/or are having a hard time motivating yourself to do any art?
Hmm.. that's a tough one. Whenever I have that feeling I tend to stop drawing for a bit. It's like forcing myself to stop everything to get a break from how mundane my style may look to me. It's weird, but I like to look back at old art and it sometimes motivates me to draw again cause the difference in how I was years ago is so drastic I feel a lot better and it helps me remember my art is constantly changing even if I can't see it between last month and now. Also looking at chapter 1 of Sabers and seeing what it's like now... the change is very obvious from there... even Chapter 4 looks a lil different from recent pages! So it's basically like reminding myself yeah it's not what i want it to be but it's getting there.
Sometimes I also look at other artists and see what I like about their styles and try to adapt certain things about them? I try it out then try to make it fit for my style and it just morphs into its own thing vwv it's a weird process and everyone is different. Trying new things helps a lot tho!!
Gotta be honest, Tapas's lil stunt today was frightening to read. Thankfully they took off that ToS but still it makes me feel a little weird about staying here. Sabers is gonna remain but I'm gonna be lookin for other options. It is hosted on Tumblr as well, but yeah. If there are any changes to where it's posted I'll let ya'll know. Nothing's changing but yeah, just a heads up.
Glad you are staying on. I am sorry that ToS scare you and other creators on Tapas. I got so many notifications today---all of them related to ToS. If you ever decide to migrate, please let us, the readers, know so we can follow you. :) Your comic is too awesome to ignore or forget about!! :) Stay well, Mitarashi!
it's not "whatever you upload here belongs to us" it's "if you want to publish something (for money), you gotta submit to us first because other publishers are assholes who love to underpay for the stuff you wanna give them" in no way you have to accept their offer though
but they removed it in the end ^^

a lot of artists who have been at this for a while had shit happen to their IPs, often by the web-service they were hosting on.
while not with anything i drew, i had something similair happen to some audio/video work i submitted to a site.
even if their intentions were nothing but good, the way they just added it in there, and their wording is a good reason to be concerned.
(most) people here are artists, most of them with little to no experience in these matter.
My schooling and main experience is in repairing computers and other electronics, not art and certainly not legal mumbo jumbo.
if TAPAS had done something like: "listen guys, we are adding something to the ToS, and in laymens tems it means *ýadayadayda* "
(in words that would make sence to everyone) most of this drama wouldn`t have happend.
HEY! This is a small announcement that Sabers is gonna be updating once a week on FRIDAYS. My computer is in the shop and idk how long I'll be without one, but to save on update time, Sabers is gonna be slowed down. I've been meaning for this to give myself a bigger break, but I'll be queuing up all the pages I can right now so that there are no week breaks for this chapter. As far as I know, this'll be the update schedule for a good long while. So I'm sorry guys :c ! There will be another announcement on the next page so that everyone can see it there! Thanks for your patience and thanks for reading Sabers!
Thank you so much for keeping me and other readers informed of your updating schedule. It is much appreciated! Do have a good summer break! I do think you deserve it! :)
Hey, no worries! Comics are hard work, and, well, it's kinda hard to draw without any tools (cough love of mine/y'alls lives cough) and give yourself a goddarn break! You deserve it! :D
YO! I wanted to let you guys know that Sabers could possibly start updating sometime in April. I can't say for sure, as I've got about 8 pages left to ink and then I'll color the whole chapter and then release! So!!! I'm gonna shoot for April for Sabers to update again! I'll make a bigger post when I have a date for you guys :D But for now, April may be the big return for Chapter 5! Thank you so much for tuning in and sticking around you guys vwv! It means a LOT.
Hey Mita! Hope everything's going all right for you (I'm sorry if I pester you too much. Please let me know if I bother you too much, I'd hate to make you uncomfortable). I was just wondering for your blog, if you'd be willing to repost some of the music playlists you made for some of the characters (Teddy, Noel and Walter I think). I remembered them cuz one of the songs in your playlists actually became one of my favorites lol :3 I was trying to think of any posts that I remember on your blog that might help you in reposting (I stalked it a long time ago so I remember quite a bit lol). That's all I wanted to say. Keep on truckin' man! <3
