I do, sadly nowadays I've been too busy with work and college Orz so I'm months behind schedule. Thank you so much for the kind comment <3

Mila, why don't you have Tipping activated? I read on PC, but occasionally I could get on mobile and throw some well deserved coins at you. With the exchange rate in Brazil it might get you a coffee or two. Ask for it if you haven't already because it takes a couple of days until they get around to it as they have a lot of asks to process.

Just send in a simple Please activate tipping for A Past and Future Secrets at michaelson@tapasmedia.co . Make sure that Ad revenue is checked on your Dashboard and in a couple of days you should be good to go. Good luck and let me know when is activated so that I could get on mobile and toss you some.

Really? Congratulations, that went surprisingly quick. Usually you have to wait for a couple of days. Ok, I'll try to watch some ads for you and come back whenever I can to toss you some more. Make sure you make a public announcement for your readers and good luck with it.

I really like your comic, there is a new thing I saw with the new update for tapstic about "tipping", I think the author has to turn it on for their comic, I really want to "tip" my favorite comics! I feel like that word sounds so weird..

Sadly tipping is only available for a few select authors from what I could gather. But thank you so so much for thinking of me! :> It really warms my heart to know that I'm in your 'tipping' list ♥

...Umm... Do you have any tips for getting started with SAI? I'm thinking I should start practicing with digital, but I have no idea where to start.

Wow, your comic is very nice. The introduction was short, and yet you did so well in providing readers enough character development to get a sense of who the people were. I also like how you do backgrounds.... Heck, I like most anyone who can do some sort of backgrounds. They're in the back, and people tend to look over them, but they truly contribute to a comic.
Umm... Uh... How did you get started on Tapastic? I'm receiving encouragement to put a comic of my own on here, but I don't know how... It doesn't help that all I've done before is traditional and I don't know how to transition to digital. I don't even know what tools to use.
(You can choose not to answer that last bit... I still like your comic, though.)

Mila creator Nov 29, 2016
Thank you for the comment and all the likes hahah <3 I was refreshing the page the whole time to see the new likes Orz, that's sort of pathetic.

I'm really lazy to do backgrounds though, I have to work so hard to make it even understandable, I could draw three panels with the time I spend in a single BG. I don't want people to get confused on where the characters are though, so that much I have to do.

About getting started on Tapastic, I actually started posting my comics in Tumblr, until ep 8, a friend said I should post it here on Tapastic but I resisted at first because I didn't think I had enough quality. Turns out I was wrong! I guess...

About transitioning to digital, I personally use Paint Tool SAI, but I've been doing digital since...2004? You could try out Krita, Fire Alpaca, and other softwares, go around testing a lot of programs and get yourself a tablet, getting used to using the tablet is probably the hardest part, and some aspects of drawing traditional will change after you go Digital but I can tell it actually helped me a lot to improve my drawings.

You shouldn't be afraid of posting here though, your icon is really pretty and even if you make a traditional comic I'm sure it will be beautiful!

Oh, man... Well, I have a tumblr, but I created for the single use of reposting a funny gif. That's it. I'm more comfortable here than I am there. I really have no expertise when it comes to digital tools, but I received a suggestion to just use my scanner. Traditional is what I'm comfortable with. (I don't even know what SAI IS ;v;) ...Maybe I can just try and start... And get my twin to show me how to use the scanner. And then... I just upload it here. But then, I need a banner... Gosh, this whole thing is just scary.

Mila creator Nov 29, 2016
:> that's a good idea too! Tell me if you ever start posting a comic here so I can check it out!
