You know what I think of your drawing skills, Sortelli. They're awesome!
But in this case and since you asked for it, my oppinion shall be:

Stick to the C+P.

It's EOI's style and this style is very important for the strip.
EOI has a very good any funny writing and C+P enables you to concentrate on that.
Drawing every strip causes more work and may let you loose interest in doing it.
The chatroom atmosphere works better with the C+P style, too.

I know you need a challenge, but I don't think that EOI is the place for it.
Keep EOI the way it is and use Path's End as a drawing challenge! (Cause PE rocks!)

Of course, this is only MY oppinion, but you wanted to hear it...

Greetings!
The Lars

Wow... thanks for the feedback, everyone.

When I first started doing EOI and came to the forums, cutting and pasting seemed like a HUGE stigma for me to overcome. At least, it felt that way... I realized that people didn't take C&P comics very seriously, that there were a LOT of awful ones, and I got kinda down for awhile.

That was back in the enthusiastic days of youth (May) when I thought I'd storm Keenspot and be famous and rich and thought no one else did cut and paste webcomics. (Stop laughing!

)

I will stick with the cut and paste for now, but I'll be updating the look soon. *smooches for Shannon*

Hee hee...I actually had a dream last night that I woke up and checked EOI and Sortelli had posted a huge apology and a new C&P comic...heh. I didn't know I felt so strongly....

Uh...Sortelli, dude, why can't you do both?

The 'Cut & Paste' really goes well with this theme, IMHO...but damn, boy...you can draw like a mo-fo. I was really impressed with your Anubis strips!

The fact they are icons on a chat board in EOI really is driven home by the fact that they ARE 'static' figures, however...to do a strip like the one above takes a bit of that away...it's hilarious when the static images are changed to suit the story as they are currently. I don't know if you could convey the same idea if you changed the art style so radically.

However, if anyone could do it, it would be you.

Why not do a couple strips this way...see how it goes. Then compare the two styles. See if you can convey the same message with this new approach. Then make your decision...perhaps with a third-party viewpoint...let the chat boarders decide then, after they have more to go on than one strip!

DAMN!!

Tell ya what... Cut 'n paste EOI, and draw your other comic (name has escaped me!

)

Or maybe you could do two versions for each comic, like one cut 'n paste and one hand-drawn....

You're just asking to be set on fire again

Either by Shannon for introducing this new time-consuming concept to Josh, or me... just for the kick.

Cut and past EOI, draw the other by hand and start a new comic that will be rendered in 3D studio. Hell, you can even start the fourth one painted in oil!

Distribute! Post! Be merry!

This post brought to you by: Too much soda, not enough sleep. @_@

Oik, I downloaded these and dreamed in my half asleep state that I had already thanked you, and I just realized that I did not. THANK YOU! These are so cool... They look like they were taken right off of my character templates. 8)

Hey... you ain't been hax0ring me, have j00?

Yeah, and I will make my style unique by holding the brush with my nostrils.

Then you'd be stealing my technique.
