Yesterday, I accessed the GateCrosser entry from the link on the SiteAdmin (so, http://cgwiki.comicgenesis.com/index.php/Comic:GateCrosser ) I can't say for certain what time it was, but I believe it was in the aft...

Fair enough. Like I said, for what it was intended to be, it was very well put together. The problem is that there were reviews mentioned in this thread, and some people clearly felt those reviews cast the comic in a bad light. All I was trying to point out was that, if you take the critiques about ...

having a price would kinda defeat the purpose of FREE comic book day. The comic is only free to the customer. The comic still has to be published and shipped out. In fact, one of the complaints I saw was the fact that ComicGenesis was the most expensive comic for the retailer - the other comic publ...

Saturday was my regular comic pickup day, but we almost didn't make it; I had to beg and plead to make sure we got in just so I could pick up a copy of the ComicGenesis issue. Everyone involved did a great job, I thought. The reviews I've seen - not just about the ComicGenesis sampler, but about all...

I like to consider myself a storyteller, and my characters really just "came into being" themselves, admittedly over the course of several years. Ironically, what's now "GateCrosser" was ALMOST going to be a fancomic for the MMORPG Horizons. Fortunately, my wife lost her job (weirdest good luck ever...

Re: The Master List of Webcomic Cliches

Whoa. I just comitted a lot of these mistakes. As a matter of fact, the only thing I can consider original about my comic is the approach. Hadn't I start telling the story from the middle, it'd just be another guy-who-likes-girl-but-hasn't-the-guts-to-tell-her. Feh, there's not THAT much wrong with...

As a kid, I drew a lot. Mostly it was just Star Trek, Star Wars, and Doctor Who machines (why yes, I am a sci-fi geek, how'd you guess?) But when I was in high school, I went through short a period where I drew a lot. And when I say "A lot", I mean "A lot of women". Probably because of the total abs...

When I got started, I discovered quickly that I have a major problem inking. I get overly focused on what I'm doing and I end up inking guide lines and don't notice until it's all done, which means I then had to go back and edit. Effectively, I felt like I was drawing the same thing three or four ti...

If you're looking for total strangers (or, since you're asking around here, totally strange people) to "edit" your comic, what you really want is a proofreader.

As for knowing whether you're inking the right thing, well.. unless your pencil sketches are really abstract or messy, then you should usually be able to tell. And if not, you can remove extra inking by use of Photoshop or a similar program. It's usually been more a question of focusing. I tend to ...
