This chapter is the right around where we are
Oh my god thank youuu!!!
Anyone know if webcomic artists can actually make a living solely drawing webcomics? I know webtoon pays if ur featured, but is it enough for a living? I’d imagine it’s a full time job if you update weekly, so?
I'm curious as well lol
They probably don’t make enough to live off of. I think it depends on where you post your work too. Also with illegal sites like this, even uploading free webtoons, it’s hard to make a living at all.
i've heard that unless you're some absolute big-shot (eg. true beauty, pruple hyacinth etc), it isn't enough for a living. most of the artists have another job too.
Honestly, True Beauty stuck gold because they got a drama out of it. She's also branching out and doing other stuff. I saw her do a photoshoot. She's also a Korean creator where her work is on the original Korean platform and then it go translated into English for the English Platform. I also think it's in Japanese and Thai. Where as Purple Hyacinth, Freaking Romance, Lore Olympus, Age Matters and others are only on the English Platform. (Wait, I think Lore Olympus just got a Korean Translation. Lore Olympus is making it big with merch at hot topic and her work is being compiled into a book.) It really does depend on the platform. Webtoon, Leh.zin, T.ap.as, and Tapp.yto.on all have Korean counterparts and then you have the Korean only- Bom.toon, Ridi.books, and others I can't name. Those larger known platforms have you work on a weekly basis or a 10 day basis. So yes, it may be their full time job, but they could only be making $10-$20/hr for 50-60+ hours of work a week. And cost of living for a webtoon artist is so much more than rent, utilities, and groceries. It's having good internet to upload and communicate with a team. Having technology that works. So computer, a tablet, a good stylus. Maybe painkillers for that wrist pain. And a lot of webtoon artists have gone on hiatuses for wrist troubles, so thats a good hospital bill too. Sooo....yeah. They could be living off of a comfortable $500 a month after bills. Lets think about it, if they make $15/hr with 60hrs/week thats $900/week or $3,600/a month:
Rent: $700-$1,000 (including utilities like wifi, heat and air, water and garbage.)
Groceries: $50-$100/week
Computer: $1,000
Tablet: $150
Stylus for tablet: $50-$100
Hard Drive for Backup: $200
They probably have a secondary back up service that works on the cloud, like dropbox, which is $10 a month
They also have to have their program that they draw. Adobe has a creative suite that has illustrator, photoshop, and others for $50/month. Or there is procreate for $10/month. Clip studio is also popular among artists and thats $220, though its a one time purchase.
They also probably have a team. Colorists, sketchers, and background artists. This own team could be paid by the platform or by the artist. It depends.
Yes, things like computers, tablets, and stylus, and other technology are one time buys- but those are your own property that you use for work. That is a part of you. Without it, you cannot work. So you have to factor in that maintenance and care. I've seen so many artists have to postpone work because their tablet broke or they lost an upload somehow. So $3,600 may seem like a lot. But then there's taxes. Then there's the living. So many things can change, like the rent can be like...what if you had a roommate, or living with your parents. Or something like that. But in that corner of your room or house, it is your workspace. It is a part of you. So you have to factor everything into that little corner in the room.
So....no. They are not making a whole lot of money. Thats why artists hate illegal sites. Some authors only publish on patreon or have a patreon account where you can get special episodes or member only content if you donate. But I've seen stuff from patreon get uploaded here too. So...yeah. Everyone hates illegal websites.
i thought we had to pay only once for procreate O.O
It looks like there is a one time buy, but for some brushes and other things, there are in app purchases. It does really depend.
Help! I was reading it earlier but the website did that thing where it made it dissapear when I came back to the page:
The ML girl has silver hair, dark blue eyes, and was a sword before going back in time to tutor the prince. The prince is her love interest, and she has diary blood. She’s smart and the best at sword fighting.
i tamed a tyrant and ran away
Thank you so much!!
Thank youuuu <3333
I’m confused can somone explain?
The black dragon is very short so I hope you understand that. For the case of White Dragon, the bottom is basically a poor boy in the past life. He wanted to wish fortune to his family, so he called the white dragon and begged him to grant him a wish.
In return, he will exchange the wish with his body and well, his feelings. But no matter what, the boy died in the end. First, it was from hunger. Second, as a sacrifice. Third, by protecting the white dragon's shrine. The dragon has chased after the boy endlessly.
On the third death, the dragon cried really really hard on the boy's death bed. His tears were so much and filled with emotion which created the white dragon print. (the scale on his stomach). Back to the memory now, the boy is just unsconcious (I think) . The white dragon managed to save him in time.
I hope I explained it all well without spoiling any of the raws!
OK sorry, the first one is from hunger. I got it all wrong
Omg thank you
Wait, isnt that the first one died from too old? His first wish is some sort of like calming the sea or something? N it takes hella long time to settle that wish. When its done he's already oldie?
