Kissing Kerie

[Kissingkerie1]

I can't believe I've never posted in this thread, maybe I didn't know what it was for, but I haven't.

Anyway, I'm up to comic #68 now and have yet to miss an update. Someone please pat me on the back or should I wait until I'm up to #168?

Kissing Kerie was born in the parking lot of the I.R.S. (cue scary music). My sweetie and I were planning to run away to Scotland together to get married (no, no bun in the oven, we actually wanted to get married) and I wanted to do something every day of our vacation/honeymoon.

So I'm walking around at night waving at security guards, thinking about our relationship (which, if you're getting married you start doing a lot!), and I thought, hey, this would make a good comic strip. Never mind I'd never drawn so much as a circle before. Hey, how hard could it be?

I'll wait for the laughter to die down.

It's pretty damn hard as I found out. I managed to get about 10 done and that was it. Still, all these ideas kept pelting me so I took it back up again, did an online search for web comics and found Keenspace (A.K.A. comicgenesis).

And here we are, still drawing them and finally...FINALLY improving a little. Why didn't you people tell me it was going to be difficult?!?

That's not too bad, but yeah, you might wanna wait until 168

I'm right up to 207 without a miss myself, but I'm sure there's others out there who've got me beat too.

I'm gonna check this one out once dinner's cooked and I can sit down properly.

Cheers.

Oh man! You are completely in love with Kerie

Honeymooners and other cosie-couple types will love this strip but when I read it I feel a little voyerish!

I think the artwork is excellent considering how long you said you have been drawing for.

Okies...read through it now. I really enjoyed most of it. Sort of had me puzzled why they could understand animals, but I looked past that, and actually enjoyed the rabbit .

Some of your backgrounds are great, and I like the biological clock talking to Kerie.

Good stuff, enjoy the rest of your strip!

Cheers.

I am completely in love with her. True. It's kind of sick really. blah. Don't feel too voyerish, I have a long list of things from her that I am NOT to draw, and pretty much every thing has been fictionalized to protect my ba--er, to protect the innocent, yeah, that's what I was going to say.

I just spent a few minutes looking back at the early days and I'm amazed at how much I sucked. lol I am slowly getting better. Still have trouble with perspective and proportions now and then, but it's a pretty clear demonstration to anyone else just starting out that even over a year's time you can improve immeasurably, or measurably.

Heh. Some good stuff.

The site design bothers me, though. I can understand having a comic as a vote button, but I got rather annoyed when I had to scroll past it and the banner on every page. Maybe you should move the vote button below the comic, or with your other vote buttons? I know it's not as noticeable that way, but webcomicking isn't about votes and ranks. It's about presenting a story and artwork to go with it.

Yeah, I was scrolling through the archives and realized that as well: the vote pic/button gets a little old. I might move it below the comic.

The idea of a pic as a button I found on Lowroad75's site though.

Also, interestingly enough, I was sitting somewhere around 300 or so on TWC. When I put in the pic/incentive/vote, I kid you not, I was at 27. I'm not sure how much I care about that, but I think you've got a point, at least on the archive's page.

When I check the webalizer, it looks like I'm getting more hits from Webcomicslist then from TWC anyway.
