So far I'm torn between ComicFury, Smackjeeves, and Tapastic. I've looked up a couple reviews since and they're all inconsistent as to whether ComicFury or Smackjeeves is better, and I'm intrigued by Tapastic's layout, but I'd probably be updating one page at a time instead of whole chapters :\ Tumblr is certainly an option and then I could get my theme done with the help of m-ew (who's RAD at themes) but I'm not sure how convenient it seems navigation-wise. Huuuuuu I'll decide soon enough

If it helps any, Hotblood! is hosted on Tumblr. The only other I know of is Quick$ilver and ... that's apparently moved within the last few weeks! Whoops. But Hotblood! should give you an idea of how a comic hosted on Tumblr can look. (I might add that though neither of these comics are my cup of tea, they do have magnificent artwork.)

Also don't feel like you'll have to upload a lot of pages at a time on Tapastic! I read a ton of comics that don't do that: Gamercat, Strays, Fox and Willow...

Also RANDOM BUT IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: TODD ALLISON AND THE PETUNIA VIOLET HAS JOINED HIVEWORKS AND IT IS REVAMPED AND SO PRETTY~

*proceeds to reread it for the umpteenth time*

I feel like I've come across several comics that were hosted on Tumblr (although I can't name them at the moment, one that I'm fond of that's Tumblr-hosted is Eth's Skin), and it's the platform I've got my [pending] webcomic site set up on.

So, I had entered the black hole of the internet, and was clicking around on a few sites when I came upon this list. I was thrilled that both SSSS and aRTD were included, but they got the description totally wrong. So wrong I'm pretty sure they've never even read the comic...

here's a link to the page if any of you want to comment about it.

The whole thing looks pretty strange to me. 7 facebook likes and 15  shares in total (and I wonder how many of them are from this forum, following that link)? I'd rather leave the whole thing be, TBH.

Yeah, I've seen a couple comics on tumblr, but neither of them handled their themes as elegantly as these :O I think I'm leaning to tapastic, though, because the interface is so smooth and apparently it's super easy to use, too (nice!!). HhhHHHHHhhhhh decisions are Difficult

HELP HELP
MY PHOTOSHOP IS EATING PARTS OF MY ART PROJECT AND I DONT KNOW WHYYYYY???

I'm making gif sets, and I opened up an older finished one...and the background layer is gone and giant square chunks have vanished from the top animation layer???? And then the same thing is happening with the one I just 'finished': it plays fine, then the background layer gets weird and has cut out a zig zag of on of the ye olde layers I merged ages ago into the background layer and...???? It even uploads like that, the weird chunks gone and I don't know what to dooooooo I've never worked with photoshop before have I done something wrong????????

If anyone knows anything that could help....... ;_____;

Spoiler: the chunks • show

don't mind the poopy animation i need to fix it <_<

I wish I could help, but all I can do is to admire the art.

Volda might be small in size, but its heart is big (trust me, I know. I have family there).

At least it's got more Norwegian character than pretentious, noveau-rich Stavanger.

Interestingly, I have family in both places.

goshdarn stavanger that stole trondheim's spot as 3rd biggest norwegian city, to boot

As long as you're not bitter.

oh noo no no, I'm never bitter about anything. [/sarcasm]

Well, regardless of what you choose, keep us posted! (I freaking love reading webcomics.)

You know how to shoot arrows? That's pretty rad!
On another note, I should be studying but it's so boring...

[OrigamiOwl]

Ahh that's ok! I fixed it by just redoing the layer...but I never found out what happened...and the old gif is still broken, but I found a copy of the still images so it should be ok if I re-upload it or something.


Also! Happy Father's Day if your country doesn't do the other mysterious US Fathers day date...whenever that is...
We celebrated by giving dad a subtly passive aggressive card, just like his birthday one the other week UuUb And also a box of licorices which I am jealous of... my grandparents were supposed to come up for a special lunch, but Nan got sick and then gave her cold to Pop (you tell them it's cold and flu season, and deliberately stay away from them when you're sick so they don't get sick and what do they do? Go to ALL the social events [looking at you Nan] and then get sick and claim you got it off me ahahahahah) so they couldn't come and we just delivered their lunch next door like it was in super quarantine. Nan made sure to give us a mysterious container filled with "dessert".....but.......I don't know what it is and whether or not it's got cold germs all through it ..... <_<

Oooohhhhh that's cool! Will there be any pictures of Viking!Haiz? :O

to teach people how to shoot arrows at some museum

(don't shoot any of the exhibits..or the windows) Sounds like an attack on the museum XD

[Haiz]

I do! Not super well or anything, but I've been a member of a historical archery club for a couple years now

probably yes!

Oh haha that's what happens when you try to word things when you're tired. I should maybe explain that it's called a museum, but it's actually a huge outside area with some old houses and stuff? So we'll be at the museum, but outside. (And hopefully we'll avoid shooting at the houses)

hrghrghh should probably get out of bed now

We have an other name than museum for these places I saw a few of them, but not a Viking one, for obvious reasons. Oh, wait, there is a village reconstruction in a bigger place, does it count or should I add "see a Viking museum" on my I-wish to-do list ? Mmmh...

[Russet]

probably yes!

Is there much of a difference between an archery club and a historical archery club?
Maybe your targets are shaped like olden warriors?

After sometimes weeks of semi-procrastination on some things on my to-do list, I
- checked one of my CV
- sent it
- ended a long and important letter and put it into an envelop in order to NOT read it for the (insert a number with two figures here) time and want to re-write all again
- answered to two mails which needed a special and a bit long answer
- wrote two postcards (but that was the nicest things on my to-do list)
If I sew the knitted cardigan which is waiting for me since months, I will have a very productive day !

It sounds very productive already! Way to go. : D

... 's way too early in the day for me to even know what I'll be doing today. But it will probably involve writing fic. And postcards. And taking care of the responsibilities that I neglected yesterday (oops).
