Re: what songs inspire you when writing?

I've actually gotten a lot of inspiration from listening to Elvenking. Sublime is also really good for getting me into a creative mood.

Re: proposed alt-lifestyle comic: Sticky Situation

I like the concept a lot. If I had the time to work on a second comic right now, I might even offer my services as an artist. Unfortunately, I'm trying to graduate from college right now and have little free time. It's good that you have a standard layout in mind as it will help create a consistent ...

Re: How long are your chapters/seasons/volumes/whathaveyou?

I've been splitting Pearls of Mer into 25-30 page issues/chapters. I'm not strictly holding to that though. Wherever in the story would make for a good break is where I'll end the issue/chapter.

Re: What are "standard" page sizes?

I think standard page size for American comics is 6 3/4 X 10 inches, and that comic artists usually draw on 11 X 17 inch paper.

Re: My Art! What Merits Improvement?

Ok, so I suck at recognizing fonts. Anyway, I'll be reading your comic now. Can't wait to see how your art and story develop.

Re: My Art! What Merits Improvement?

Overall, I think you art work is good. It gives a really gritty feeling to the comic, which I think is what you were going for. However, you could still make your work a little cleaner by using some heavier pen lines, like around the outlines of characters. Of cores, I just really like using heavy l...

Re: Anyone gonna post something?

Well, I don't have boobs of my own to draw. And it would be kind of awkward to say to one of my female friends, "Hey, can you squeeze your boobs together so I can draw them?"

Your fan art is good. However, the penciling doesn't show up too well on a computer screen. Try using heavier lines next time. Also, Arra's tail was a little short for her body size in the last fan art. I do like the underwater make out scene. Of course, I keep thinking, "they're going to have to su...

I draw almost everything by hand. Then I scan the page and do some cleanup and lettering in photoshop. When I occasionally color, I use photoshop for that too.

And yes, I have read your comic. You still need some work with panel arrangement. Doing a little more with backgrounds would also help.

It's funny how they don't bother asking what kind of non-perishable food you have. Canned goods are pretty useless without a can-opener and quite heavy to carry and Ramen noodles are no good without running water, a pot, and a heat source, two of which won't be readily available in an urban environ...

47% I live in Atlanta right now and don't have a gun. However, I do have lots of swords, sticks, staffs, knives, a shield, axes, etc. Not to mention martial arts experience. Why was there only one question about close-range combat!? Also, I don't have much food stocked up right now. ...Oh, and I hav...
