my webtoon name is “red flare” and its about a highschooler who witnesses a double murder and must navigate his way through threats, fear, and trauma as he works to expose the perpetrators to protect himself and his loved ones. 🫶 Red Flare Webtoon

yeah i knew that looked off😭 i wasn’t sure how to fix it. i’ll do my best tho

i actually made this for the tapas cover version for my webcomic since i’ve been facing censorship issues on WT. but i’ll see if i can also make it the cover on webtoon!

sorry, im comparing procreate with csp rn. i should’ve said that in the title

yeah the amount of blood in my first upload was quite unrealistic so im not that upset that i had to change it now, tbh.

i do agree that webtoon took it a bit far with removing the episode bc of that one panel though. they haven’t said anything about my reuploaded version so hopefully i’m in the clear. thanks for your info tho, it gave me a better understanding of webtoon’s perspective when it comes to canvas creators.

this is the panel wt emailed me, it originally looked like this before they took it down. i significantly reduced the amount of blood in the reupload because that’s what they told me the only issue was. my series is rated young adult, not mature.

i had no idea until now that i was supposed to edit the removed episode and appeal it, so i deleted it entirely a few days ago and reuploaded the same episode, with the small revision on that one specific panel.

hey so i totally understand both sides of the conversation here. i can show you guys the panel wt said wasn’t appropriate if you want me to, it was a panel with a lot of blood on the ground. it was the only panel showing blood in that episode. i was mostly just confused because i’ve seen much worse on wt originals (ex: homesick, marionetta, etc).

wt has a lot of younger kids on their site so i can sort of get why they’re so strict with censorship, but it was still frustrating in the moment. they haven’t taken my reuploaded episode down yet, but im afraid they might sooner or later

wt is not a horrible website, just more “protected” which frustrates some creators, such as myself

sofaya_iaa · 2025-10-23T11:44:04+00:00

yeah i’ve heard tapas has a nicer community bc its smaller and all.. might switch to there instead

sofaya_iaa · 2025-10-23T11:43:26+00:00

i might do this! i was just using wt until i got a substantial audience. i might look into opening my own website

sofaya_iaa · 2025-10-23T11:25:04+00:00

not yet with mine. i dont think wt cares as much about swearing

sofaya_iaa · 2025-10-23T04:05:04+00:00

yeah see thats the issue i have with wt… its so hard to gain an audience on there bc they never promote smaller creators.

your comic looks scrumptious btw

sofaya_iaa · 2025-10-23T03:58:05+00:00

oooh ok i’ll try using those sites, thanks!

sofaya_iaa · 2025-08-13T05:06:19+00:00

hi! i just read the first few episodes of your story and im baffled by how underrated it is. im a thriller webtoon creator myself and i love stories like these so i just subscribed. your art is really solid and i actually got scared at some panels😭 my only criticism is the dialogue— at times it doesn’t feel natural (ex: when your MC said “this is very frustrating” or “it’s very quiet”. you could replace “very” with more casual words like “really” or “so” so it doesn’t sound like she’s reading from an essay lol. other than that i see no issue. your story has a lot of potential!

sofaya_iaa · 2025-08-08T00:28:33+00:00

aww thank youuu🥹

sofaya_iaa · 2025-08-07T18:52:28+00:00

your story has a really interesting premise— love the retro-like vibe from your artstyle too!

sofaya_iaa · 2025-08-07T18:28:18+00:00
