Hello everyone!
I made updates to episodes 0-43 just in regards to the font , speech bubbles and very minor edits to the dialogue, this is just for consistency and because my hand writting and the older font I used was kinda hard to read. I made this change on Webtoon months ago but just found the time to update the episodes on here. If you ever felt like re-reading I hope it'll be easier!

Anyway thanks for your support!

Hi everyone,
I might include a little FAQ section at the end of the next episode I have a few in mind that always come up but do you have any questions you'd like me to answer?

Whether it's a story/character questions or a question for me about art or writing let me know. I can answer some questions here too.

@Estiq and @Ciel I actually made a post on instagram with my art from like 2007: https://www.instagram.com/p/BS4NaoPAYm5/?taken-by=relseiy and it's pretty detailed in terms of developing my style what I was doing that year. In the post I actually talk about a previous comic I made (2008-2009) I used to make a comic about my school friends and it ran for like 80 chapters. I also made a storybook for my senior project at uni a few months ago. I am only planning on starting a new comic project after I'm completely done with Socializing101 which includes the main story as well as any one-shots I want to make after.

@GearFrost I started when I was really young so I don't know why I started drawing, I just kinda liked it. A lot of my friends started recently and improved so much by looking at tutorials, studying anatomy and looking at references.

@Milk Tea, Thanks! for colouring my comic I basically place background and then just paint the characters in and use multiply layer for hard shading and Overlay for soft light. Here is a detailed post, it's about speeding up your colouring process but you'll find how I colour once you scroll down a bit: http://relseiyart.tumblr.com/post/177379756095/do-you-have-any-tips-for-speeding-up-the-colouring

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let you know I've been working on updating the font in the older Socializing101 episodes, I changed fonts like 3 times to find the perfect font. I've always been frustrated with the old font so since the summer I've been working on updating the font in episodes 0-44 to hopefully make it easier to read for new readers and it's not so weird when the font suddenly changes from ep 44 to 45.

So far I've updated episode 10 to 44 I also made some very minor dialogue changes and fixed some spelling errors especially in early episodes. The changes are now on LINE Webtoons:
https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/socializing101-/list?title_no=10834

I don't think I'll be adding these episodes on Tapas anytime soon so if you feel like rereading then check out the older episodes on webtoons!

New episode update:
Patreon: 13th or 14th of October
LINE/Tapas: 20th of October

Hey! Just a few updates!
Socializing101 will probably update slower for the next few weeks, I started my internship and working hours are really long 9am-6pm and I barely have any time for myself or making comics or art. This is only temporary though, I'll be done with my internship and my uni assignments by this time next month, untill then S101 will update every other week.
I'll be posting 75.3 today (hopefully) if not then tomorrow.

Also I'll be changing my name on here from Pandastrophiic to Relseiy to match all my other social media accounts, I keep forgetting to change it and I should have ages ago.

If you have any questions about my comic or making comics in general then feel free to ask me here or my asks on Tumblr:

A slowdown here won't hurt anything. Doing well in your internship should pay off big down the line. The choice is obvious. Good luck!

Good luck! Sometimes it's best to just slow things down so you don't get overworked. I hope the internship and your assignments all go great. <3

Hello everyone!
I've only mentioned this a few times but I've had an old comic from 2010 with the same characters in Socializing101, they where so different though since my writing wasn't very developed and the story was a total mess.
Sooo I made a post to compare the old versions vs the new ones and they're pretty much completely different, Mihai was an angry punk and Adilene liked anime or something, anyway check it out here:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/20913177
(it's free to view!)

I worked on the 2010 comic for about a year and had 100 subs on Smackjeeves but I got so burned out from it, it made me feel like making comics wasn't for me even though it was something I loved. Took a few years to build up my confidence and try again.

your progress is astounding, i am so glad that you got the strength to give it another shot, take good care of yourself this time around so you don't burn out ^^

@SW Yeah I actually can't either, it's almost like a completely different person.

Relseiy creator Aug 24, 2018
@FloresDelMal It's actually why I take a break every 3 updates so I don't burn out from constantly making the comic, it's been 3 years and I guess it's working out.

Hey, 2015 vs 2018!

After 3 years of having the same icon I decided to redraw it. I'll be changing the icon soon but you can see a clearer version of both on my tumblr:
http://relseiyart.tumblr.com/

Also you can send me asks about the comic, making comics or writing on tumblr so check it out if you'd like!

It feels weird to change the icon now after 3 years though. Maybe if the comic keeps going after another 3 years I'll redraw it again.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to ask:
How did you find my comic?

Like on the Trending in the website? recommended by someone? etc it would help if you mention if you found it through the app or website and also when? doesn't have to be exact you can just say 1 year ago, half a year ago, last week, etc.

This is just something I've been wondering for a while because I'm just not sure how anyone finds my comic on Tapas anymore, especially on the app, non-premium comics feel like they're hidden away at the back of the app lol.

I haven't written anything here for a while and I'm not even sure if anyone really reads these anymore but I'm interested to hear your replies, it would be very helpful for me!

Thank you!

I was reading on the website and I think I found it searching in Popular comics. Around early 2016?

I don't quite remember, since it was a while ago, but I believe I stumbled across it on Webtoon Discover, but started reading it here due to the 100 limit there.

when i go looking for new stuff to read i go to my computer to search for something cause i dont like how the app navigates lol. it's easier to browse comics on the website than it is the app. but after i find something to read i usually read on my phone.. so i like combine devices when it comes to tapas lol XD and the first time i came to taas i admit i left for a while cause i thought it was only paid stuff, but then i saw something on webtoons and decided to peak at the site. def glad i came back! like i said before, fell in love with your story and your art~ ♥

Hmm... I was just browsing comics searching for something new, and I liked the thumbnail... It had only a few episodes back then, maybe little more than ten?

Random question, but do you make Voltron art? I saw these really cool drawings of Keith and Lance on Pinterest and it looks like your art style but the artist's name isn't credited, it just says "saved from instagram.com" but it doesn't say from who. Something's written in the bottom left corner but I can't read it too well, and I was just wondering if it was yours
