F.A.Q.

This page is designated for Frequently Asked Questions.  So go ahead, ask away…

WHY DOES THIS COMIC GO FROM BLACK AND WHITE, TO GRAY SCALE, AND TO COLOR?

I’m going to be honest here, I’m still trying to get the hang of PS. In the beginning, I would color using many, many layers, and it would always take me ages to do one page, so I decided I had not yet gained enough skills to do full color except on special occasions. It’s been almost a year and I’ve improved a lot more than last year when I first started this project, so I’m going back to full color. The gray scale was more or less a test, to see how long it would take me to do one comic, if I had to do it in color. Because Gray Scale is pretty much the same as far as the same techniques, so I decided to switch back to full color.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON IN THIS COMIC?

The main plot line is yet to be seen, because when I started the comic I had an idea to tell background stories per issue, but that has changed since then.  We are now hitting the main plot line, and will be seeing a lot more action through the end of issue 2 and onward.  Please be patient, as this is my first comic ever, and I am still developing my skills as both writer, artist, and webmaster.

YOUR ART IS F**KING TERRIBLE!

If there is one thing, maybe this isn’t true for everyone, but we as artists will always be like “My art sucks”. I think in more ways than one, we don’t want to become too proud or over proud and be turned away because we’re asses. Also, I look at say…a comic I like and think “thats awesome!”, the artist may look at it and see all the places he messed up, or what not. What I’m getting at is, yeah, I know my comic isn’t great, it isn’t QC or MegaTokyo, or even XKCD or Dominic Deegan (google it!), but why do we continue? It is because we usually know where all those flaws are and how to SOLVE them, look at our pieces and say “okay, I screwed that up, but I know what to do to fix it next time.” We continue because we love our own art, even if others do not, and we would love to share our art, with the world, sometimes. Forgive my crappy art, but I’m at least doing what I love! In the great words of Rage Against the Machine:

“At least I’m F**king trying, What the f**k have you done?”

IS THIS COMIC PLANNED OR ARE YOU JUST PULLING WHATEVER USEFUL SH!T COMES OUT YOUR @55?

A little bit of both, actually. The comic is actually written only a few pages ahead, because sometimes I’ll think of something that would be cool to put in, or beneficial to the plot and change a bit of the script around. Believe me, the actual “spine” to this story, actually exists, and I highly doubt I’ll change it. But the details surrounding it are so…massive, so many sub-plots, or side stories that I can’t mentally imagine them all.  So I do my best to write ahead in a small notebook I carry with me, just in case.

These are all the questions I can think of at the moment, but if you ask a new one and email it to me, I’d be more than happy to post it here, if it’s a legit question.
