The trick is not to get too mawkish or out of character with things. There's a whole category on "Jump The Shark" for shows that ruined things with "A Very Special Episode"....

Helen Highwater, Lionel LeTrayne and Laura Mercy are all puns (Jaime Hernandez did this sort of thing all the time in Love and Rockets) Clive Garrett and Professor Hoodoo just sounded right for the characters. The Blood Rose's name Tanya was an homage to "Tanya Malichite", the slinky evil agent from...

I'm totally insane. This morning I actually went back to the strip I'd just posted and did some pixel by pixel corrections to clarify art details that got muddled in the translation from 300 dpi to 72.

Crazeeeee

The webcomic collective I belong to put together a sampler comic that was handed out at conventions.



I also sent along a bunch of stickers.

That movie's fucking crazy.

I like to think that any movie that ends with a guy dancing around in a giant Alfred E. Newman mask will do a good job of softening up people's heads for my comic.

A) I like experimenting with art and narrative approaches. B) My webcomic gives allows me to publicly express myself in a more personal manner than commercial illustration work for hire. C) It helps get me more of those impersonal commercial illustration for hire gigs so I can afford to pay my hosti...

I usually just call myself an "Artist". For my tax returns I specifically list "Illustrator", as that's where the money comes from. "Webcartoonist" is a term I usually only self apply in comics related conversations where I need to specify what medium I work in. "Professional" and "Webcartoonist" ar...

Thanks for putting this site up. I've had good luck with thewebcomiclist.com so I'll have to try this too.

My comic is different because smells like bongwater and nag champa incense.

I do mine in Flash by creating an appropriate sized oval on the layer below the text, pulling up the corners with the arrow tool to create a more space efficient (And traditional) shape, and then adding a tail with the line tool. (Using the arrow tool to ad a curve.) Fave font: witzworx. Traditional...

Hard to tell, she's so petite there's not much room for folds!

This book is good: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0823013685/qid=1106750997/sr=2-2/ref=pd_ka_b_2_2/103-4740342-4850235 Also, this may sound like a weird recomendation, but Archie comics are good to look at. The artists had a great set of basic hand gestures that can be used in a variety of s...

Just saw this thread. I got the spam too. It wasn't a big deal, but was it really necessary to send it TWICE?

Also...100,00? That's a lot of coke and bling-bling!

For some reason I just think of this dude:



He used to shop at a Radio Shack i worked at. Nice guy, but jumpy.

Looks good! The color choices are light enough that they don't overpower the delicate line style. Looks kind of New Yorkerish.

Kids are hard to write because they are like small people with 0% logic. I am passing out condoms to all my characters to help me avoid dealing with this.

Robert Beverly Hale's anatomy books are good food for thought. He's kind of rigorous and old school (He would prefer you learn every bone in the human body.) but he makes a lot of good points about how if you don't examine something, you won't know how to draw it.

I find this info interesting. Tell me more! Like where I can find tutorials of this. Do it! *cracks whip* Ow! I learned on the job through trail and error. Here's a description of the process though. (More tutorials on the same page.) http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/tutorials/flash/tutorial_flash...

Sidebar: And no. I tend to disslike the look of vector made comics. Bessides, I just really like the feel of a pencil in my hand. Fair enough, although I should note that I draw my comics with real pencil and do a lot of the inking with a real pen. Vectors needn't be synonymous with drawing in the ...
