Hmm...Okay, thanks for that. Yeah, the font thing is definite. It's just a little tricky mixing up fonts and font size/italics etc with the programme I'm using. Getting those interjections and things...That's tricky too. You'd need more panels and such which is troublesome. Personally I don't think their sentences were too long, but thanks for pointing it out anyway. As for the lawyer thing...I'm not sure. I asked my mum and she said that you could tell a lawyer from his/her appearance I wasn't sure, but whatever. Gwar this comic is going downhill, I fear.
Good God it's NOT going downhill. Creative speech balloons with visual interjections might save on the panel count. Perhaps it's time to sit back and rethink and reconstruct how it's being presented.
Okay, I'm probably being a little self-critical. I actually like your idea of rethinking how it's presented. That's fairly daunting though...I'm not totally sure what other format it could take :S
Hi "Andy ",i just read all your comics and agree with " stinkfoot ",it isn't going downhill, it was interesting to read it ., you should try to make some reconstruction ..
Don't let it intimidate you. I sincerely believe that with your creativity and intelligence this could be a stepping stone on your way to greatness. Without challenges and tests we never learn or grow. I love thinking that I could well have a front row seat to the start of something big.
Hah wow Thats quite a thing to say. I'm surprised you have such confidence in me, but I really sincerely appreciate it. I actually thought about it last night and I think I have the perfect idea for a new layout. I'm going to try it out with the next page of my comic which I'll try to start and finish today And thanks for the comment too, Independent.
Run with it. Looking good. I'm catching this within minutes of awakening so I'm only partially comprehending things at the moment. Perhaps I'll revisit and offer something you can use but if that doesn't end up happening I thought I'd at least drop in and say something.
Heh, thanks. I actually just fixed it up slightly because there was a really dumb grammar/spelling error :S
Page 31! No tone in this one. Would greatly appreciate some criticisms on it. I quite like it actually.More coming up later in the week...
Some of the font is small but I don't have the best eyes anyway. Lots of open background space to squeeze in details and sophomoric gags. Take your time and craft each page like the individual work of art it can be. No need to churn out pages in a rush... the quality will be well worth the wait.
Heh I didn't really try to rush this one, but the font is really dodgy. I ALWAYS forget about the speech bubbles. Very frustrating -_-
Sorry for the lack of updates. Not sure if anyone actually cares, but I've been working on another little comic actually. The url is www.altf4.smackjeeves.com if you're interested. There are only 3 pages up so far, but I've got 4 on hold ...make that 3. I just popped another up there. Here's a pic for your patience Just notice that I kinda can draw properly! I should maybe post up some more of my drawings if anyone is interested?
Allo, all. Just a little note. I don't think I'm going to be updating this comic much, if at all, for the next month or so. I've come to the realisation that the art and storyline both need major revision. I'm probably being a little self-critical, but I currently dont feel confident with either the art or storyline and as both basically make the comic, I don't feel good about the comic as a whole. I may or may not return to Earl Grey Penitentiary, but as soon as I've built up some confidence and a somewhat decent storyline, I'll return, either with a brand new comic or a very much altered version of EGP. Thanks for all the support so far I'm going to spend the next while just practicing drawing fairly intensely (hopefully) In the mean time, I'll be working on this very basic comic which I'll post here! Here are a few:
I think you're being a bit too self critical but taking a mental break is a very good idea nonetheless. You might want to consider a restart and plan exactly what direction you want the story and characters to go- whether or not there's an overall message you want to convey as well as consider the details you want to add to the individual pieces of artwork that will compose the webcomic. Instead of trying to churn out multiple cells based on a self imposed deadline you might want to compile a good quantity of material and slowly release it over time.
