Today's Comic

- Tam likes to talk about books, no shame there.
-Amos believes that he is consistently surrounded by stupid people.
-I don't know how much impact book reading is going to have yet, I'm still sort of playing around. I know how obnoxious it is to read gamer comics and comics about non-web comics. I assume that the percentage of people who have read these books is going to be marginal. That said, I have read them, and they're awesome. So am I making book recommendations? Yes. Do books overshadow the plot of the comic? No, I don't think they will. I have a story of my own in mind.
- Lastly, a couple of people have asked me where this comic is set.
I don't know right now. Apparently in the city of white buildings with white walls. I don't know if it matters where they are unless I'm going to draw backgrounds, which I don't plan to for quite some time.

Comic Update

I will be adding a link to the comic today, because I've gotten 18 posted. Yay! I am additionally going to make some commentary on my comic in the mornings and pretend that someone is actually reading them. One thing I notice is my inability to draw the same thing the same way twice. It's very sad-looking. Luckily, I've worked out a system whereby everyone has slightly different hairstyles. Hopefully I will get the hang of it all soon.

And goodnight!

Comic Update

I am good up to the 22nd on comics. I should probably get a little more ahead before I start teaching.

Progress

As far as webdesign can be considered, I am completely uncreative. I think it's just the idea of it being something that needs to work with my comic, be seen by the public (all two or three of them),be functional, and on and on. So I'm such a perfectionist, I guess, that I'm afraid of every mishap from "it doesn't match my drawing style" to "it isn't humble enough: I'm a newbie" to "I don't want people to think I'm some kind of goth." But last night I decided to try a black on black thing. Soft black "art deco" flowers on a Very black field. With a big white square. It's actually good! (N did all the work, btw, I was goofy on lortab and just pointed and grunted to indicate my choices) Now I just need a logo, icons, a border....
In other news, I'm fooling around with the style a little, but I think I can safely say that this is going to be called a draft at every turn.

Four up!

Yay! I figure I'll stop the annoying counting thing when I hit the 15 mark. I'm still feeling apprehensive about the storyline, the characters, etc...
N keeps saying "blah blah it's a learning experience blah blah," but I'm too much of a perfectionist to be too satisfied. But I am moderately happy with the art - it's dull right now, but it's got the elegant simplicity I'm after. So we'll see. I've officially got myself on a Tuesday- Thursday update schedule.

Have a nice day!
