Reader Survey

Hi, I'm Onyichii
My online persona is a personified magical dark cloud (or a nebula I guess).
I'm a graphic designer and a temp worker in the day and a comic artist at night. I have always liked storytelling and want to get better at it - so I'm just telling as many stories as I can.

Free Ways to Support

• Share the Tapas link or the Webtoon link of my comic on social media so that more people can read it!!

Paid Ways to Support
• Becoming a patron on Patreon (monthly subscription)
• Donating through Ko-Fi (one-time donation/ monthly)
• Donating ink on Tapas
• Purchasing products (ebooks, books, hoodies, etc) from any of my shops

Comics
I am currently working on my first serious project,
Pippa & Levi.
After this is finished I hope to begin working on more stories. I'm very excited to begin my catalog
Pippa & Levi (2022)
Genre: Romance, Slice of Life, Fantasy
Rating: PG 15+ | M 18+
Pippa, a self-proclaimed witch, is returning home, single and reluctant to date. When her search for a stolen item takes her to the depths of the ocean, she meets a peculiar merman. Entranced by his familiar eyes, she takes him home — but with him around things start getting a little...wet.
Eventually, I would love to translate Pippa & Levi to other languages. If you can speak these languages and would like to help me translate my work please let me know.
DM me on social media!
Resources
It's good to get some practice in. Here are some books I've picked up and websites I've glanced at and use. Use them in your art journey.
Disclaimer: I have not read all of the books listed, even though I do own them. I am suggesting them because I have flipped through them and found them useful or have read it entirely and found it educational. It is up to you to do the research and determine if it is the right book for you.
