The weird music I'm currently hooked on is probably going to make this come out strange, so please hang in there while trying to figure this out or go listen to some low bass high beat space piano techno type music while reading(Might be a pretty long post too). That aside I am Procelis B. and I am new to these forums, and web-comics in general but I have read a bunch all the way to the end(or to where they are currently at). I haven't actually read many that are on CG, but I'm going to start a webcomic soon and this community seems nice (Plus, since I've checked out the forums I've found some nice new webcomics to read).
I used to be a sprite comic maker, through an online game and forum, where people edited and sprited characters from the game and even made custom stuff sometimes and I got pretty good at editing pictures (Gimp, Paint.net and MS Paint). I now want to use my own skill, through drawing, to create comics and I'm following a very general wide-scope tutorial on starting a webcomic that doesn't get flamed and torn down immediately. I only have a small hitch, and that is that I don't want to start this until I make sure I can actually start doing it, and my original idea was to post some pictures of a test comic and see peoples responses so I don't have to stop for a long time leaving an non-updating comic there so I can work on some things. The problem is that 1, in the comic pitching section, I must have at-least 20 strips in the archive of the site I don't even have up yet, and in this section it'd be linking to a non-CG place.... I'm sure I'll get around this soon enough... (And I managed to make my first post a wall of text, I hope that doesn't instantly make many enemies, that'd be rather bothersome).

Eh... I'm pretty sure my original things I planned on saying got lost in that jumbled mess, sorry :P. Here, I'll start over for those who hated reading that.
Hi, I'm Procelis B., I'm new here, and Im going to make a webcomic eventually.

I am sorry, but posting while listening to weird music is strictly prohibited. We don't want "The Great Weird Music War of 2006" to happen again.

I'd laugh at the joke if some of the things I saw in the archives didn't make me think it might not be one :o . Are loopholes that cause aforementioned wars also against the rules, because the current music levels off at odd :3.

Oh for...XD For some reason I didn't see this thread when I posted my other introduction. Now that one is just sitting there, in the general discussion menu, making me look like an idiot who can't follow directions. :P

Anyways, I'm Shada, artist of Nowhere University, back from medical/technical issues-induced hiatus to reregister on forums cause my login seems to not be working. Hope I can access my comic login now. ^_^

See ya around!

I'm guessing you've run into "spiky hair" discussion or something like that. :lol:

From now on you will be known as "The One Who Didn't See The Introduction Thread", or Towdstit for short. Forever!

I found file zila is any easy FTP to use but I couldn't hack that admin stuff myself.

also file zila is free. But I got to tell you to read the cgwiki they send you a link to because I kept having issues then found that it had already been answered in that. There is still lots of stuff I need to read through and I have to spend some time getting through it all, but at least it's there for us.

Hi I'm Tix and if the past is any indicator this post will be ignored. I'm having a heck of a time trying to put my comic up, the new siteadmin is giving me all sorts of grief and I'm trying to read the doc but it's all over everywhere and it contradicts itself. Sorry for my poor English. I really just want to see if I have managed to upload my avatar over here.

Yep, its like you never even posted, ignoring your post so hard it hurts.
I cant see why you'd assume that, I haven't seen anyone (who's posts weren't pointless) ignored. Not implying your posts were pointless of course, I haven't been around long so for all I know these people are evil :roll:

A few of them are evil. I'm not, I'm just generally useless.

Hi. I'm Muse, and I'm starting a comic called Evangelium, a name which comes from my favorite quote by Tolkien. I intend to promote female characters, good Christian fiction, and non-white lead characters with my work. I'm planning to play with a few different art styles, but keeping an art deco/nouveau aesthetic to the comic.

I suppose I should introduce myself.

I'm Wendy, I'm an admin over at The Webcomic List forums, the head of The Webcomic List Awards committee and the author of a comic not many people read called Gilbert and the Grim Rabbit. In case you can't guess by the name, one of the characters is a bunny grim reaper. No, it's nothing like Jack.
