Comic Genesis Forums

All right, now we can have some of that whiney crap to get people to come and look at your comic!

What I like most is that I managed to make my own drawing style, and am getting better at it. What I like least is the insane amount of text in my earlier comics.

I love how it looks when I colour it.
I hate how it used to look.

I least like my inks.

I like the fact that I'm getting better at writing.

I hate that Bean wants to use old series that I wrote and aren't that good into actual comics.

I like the atmosphere my current strips are creating the most, nice and daaarrrkkk, but just the right amount of Daaark I wanted to create ^.^

I absoloutely detest the first few strips where I was trying to find my style of writing though... >shudder<

I really like my comic. I hate the fact that I'm the one doing it. I wish someone else was drawing it so I could just read, and not have to put any work into it. Or even better, I could just write the strip, and someone with actual artistic skill would draw it. No? I guess I'll just keep doing it then.

I like... a story. I think it has a good story. Aaaaand... that characters are not usual average joes but crazy, excentric people. I like it's diversity, it includes every genre of webcomic known to a man. Graphics, it may not be perfectly drawn, but it's definitely not a "two guys talking, each one standing in his part of the frame" comic. I change plans, racurses, spend time arranging panels and that's what i like in the comics anyway. I never have writers block. I usually don't repeat jokes.

I hate... the way things look when drawn with tablet compared to a pencil and paper. Story is sometimes too slow, i think it might chase away potential everyday reader. I'm working on fixing that one. Every character is thin and pretty. It's unoriginal in many ways, maybe that's the worst one; I regretted many times starting with that standard idea of crazy-college-kids-with-guy-who-can't-get-no-girlfrend-and-all but it can't be changed now. Unless if I kill him... Kill them all Hmmm... no, when I think about it. I hate making a break during the most interesting storyline and i assume readers hate it too. My english is sometimes bad.
I hate having too much ideas at the time. Some of them I'll have to leave until next year or so. But that's not reader's problem. Main page loads slow as I saw. Hmmm... Nothin else I could remember at the time.

Pros:
- Original comic (though not necessarily funny)
- A different kind of drawing style
- Home-brewed feel
- Crap jokes

Cons:
- Overlly cutesy looking chracters
- Weird site design
- Crap jokes
- Bad Drawing style
- Me (ha ha)

More cons than pros => my comic stinks.

Pro:

It's funny. It has a large cast of distinctive characters (distinctive as in, they obviously belong in my strip and were not lifted from anywhere else, and you can actually tell them apart from eachother). I think I'm finally starting to understand how to balance jokes and story (although jokes will always come first.

Con:

Dialogue dominates art (although I'm working on a more natural marriage). Little to no background detail. I can't draw like my comic-strip heroes and I never will.

I like the detailed backgrounds that some of the panels have

I don't like how the marker pen used to letter works sometimes

The best thing? Well, I think it's kind of funny (it makes me laugh sometimes even) and theres a lot of things to read on it.

The worst thing? Probably the art, or the fact that Wednesdays strip, for some reason, doesn't work.

Good things about EOI:
-Makes fun of elves, which satisfies my deep resentment towards Elf Only policies in chatrooms and, say, here. Rage!!!
-Other people apparently find it as funny as I do, which is weird.
-Fun to make, when I remember to make the comics ahead of time.
-Has gotten past the Cut N Paste stigma.
-I like the Prismacolor colors.

Bad:
-Some of the characters don't match up so well because I scanned them at different times.
-Sometimes they come out looking pixelated and crummy.
-Cut N Paste. Somedays I think it really would be better if I drew the whole thing. But that would take slightly more time than I spend on it now...
-No T-shirts. I'd love to make a T-shirt just for me to wear one, but putting certain characters on a shirt seems like a bad idea.

Good:

I like the art style I'm using for this and the story is getting there somehow. I'm like how the characters are turning out.

Bad:

Having to do the cut and paste and typing of words! I cannot ink the words cuz I got a crappy scanner! I also don't like my format on how they are placed ^^;; That will change next year.

Certainly putting Goku666 on a T-shirt would be plain wrong, but dude...

Lord of Dorkness is SCREAMING for a T-shirt!

I agree, and here's my prototype... but the resolution is all pixelly. I need to find the original drawing and scan it again. And that takes... time and effort!

I would so buy that shirt...

I'd buy that for a dollar

I love how my strip is developing into a better format. I still get nightmares of HORRIBLE WRITING.

"There's so many ghettos downtown to allow 'Dr Dre' to create a superpower!"

::shudders of the thought that he wrote that line::

Good:
- Represents many of my styles of drawing...
- Jyro does his own thing... I don't even control him anymore
- MWF schedule
- The contest
- My new style with monochromatic color

Bad:
- Drawings aren't consistent or even necessarily good in some strips...
- Too many fillers
- I have to draw with Photoshop

Likes:

Easy to write for story.
It has a plot!!!! 0_0
Many diverse characters
Shows character growth.
1 color strip every month!
the font Tempus sans ITC
The characters seem like normal people you could run into on the street.
Characters are easy to relate to.
People actually read it on a regular basis
I don't have to ink it! ^_^

Dislikes:

Chun-Mei is too similar to Shampoo from Ranma even though she <i>wasn't</i> based on her!
Sometimes I feel like I have to draw it.
People think it's always supposed to have sex in it because of the title, when the title just means that it deals with sex and sexual things, not just the act.
The fact that I have to fill a whole page sometimes
That the current storyline won't end! (I wanna get on with the next one!)
People not knowing what gender I am, even though my avitar looks female! >_<

More likes than dislikes- I'm in the black! ^^
