Joes kick ass comics (New Comic 4/8) - Page 2 - VGF

I'm going to comment on this whether you ignore me or not.

Actually, I kinda like these last two. You really should make the images smaller so that they don't take up the whole screen of my old computer and so they don't take so long to load for those using 56k connections.

Your grammar is bad and your text bubbles are terrible. It's your comic's worst flaw. If Joe isn't going to listen to me then someone else should tell him. Just look at that text!

The art could certainly be improved, but your cartoonish style seems to work fine for your comic purposes. I recommend using a better pencil so you don't have so many smudges like on the first one.

I think your punchlines are actually good. The fact that a strongly focused beam of destruction couldn't open a pickle jar was kinda funny.

Just fix your damn text and get yourself a better pencil and you'll have some decent quality comics here.

For once, I agree with Glyph. Instead of writing in your text, type it in after you scan it (Take this for example). And seriously, do something about that paper. It looks like you got frustrated and crumpled the hell out of it. It just looks bad.

1 - Try a mechanical pencil. An art teacher once said a wooden pencil is much better for artwork than a mechanical pencil. That's bull. A mechanical pencil is much easier to erase than a wooden one, and also makes thinner lines. Now, if you want to shade with yor pencil, yeah, that's when wooden trumps mechanical.

2 - Get better paper.

3 - Are you drawing your word bubbles, and then trying to cram the words into them? If you are, don't. Write the words first, then do a bubble around them.

4 - Try drawing the comic with a mechanical pencil, going over it with a pigment pen, then taking an eraser to it to get rid of the pencil lines. Pigment pens are nice. They come in various thicknesses, and don't bleed at all.

Thank you everyone for your comments and i did look at Glyphs comment. And I cant get a pigment pen because im too lazy and broke to get one. Anywho this time im taking requests, just post your sprite and i will draw it. For example Take L007's sprite this is what the finished product looks like

. So post your sprite, Im taking the first 10 sprites. After that i wont take any more for a bit till I get those done.

That is not bull. I assume that you tried drawing with a 2b pencil, which is not good to draw with. HB pencils (plus H pencils for light sketching) are the greatest to draw with, and also are easy to erase with a white nylon eraser, or pink pearl. They erase best on art paper, but I have not had any problems with other paper as of yet. One thing to remember is not to press down too hard with the pencil, or, no matter what pencil you're using, it will be impossible to erase, and will most likely dig into the paper. Mechanical pencils are especially bad about that, as they are designed not to get dull, and are therefore very fine and sharp, causing paper gouging.

Now, back to being on vacation.

That's a lame-ass excuse if I ever heard one. Get off your duff, earn some money, and buy one.

My crappy LvK

These people where drawn crudly by me Joe Hatter so whatha you like them or not too bad.

Codiekitty · 03-22-2005, 02:48 PM

Well, I guess I have to thank LvK. While I was at Hobby Lobby looking for the pencils he told me about, I finally found a No.8 pigment pen (I have about four other sizes, and the guy at VGCats says No.8 is the best for comicing)

Like I said before, that's pretty good for a Megaman 7 edit. Could use some shading, though.

Thank's again SuperYoshi and its good to see you back.

Anyway new comic.

Superyoshi · 03-25-2005, 08:29 PM

Sadly...it's true, XD. In fact, it looks like you put more effort into my sprite than you did in yours. I guess it's funny to me, but inside jokes are bad for comics.

Glyph Phoenix · 03-26-2005, 03:00 AM

That, and fix your text already! It's hard to read, but I guess it doesn't matter because the joke isn't very good and probably not worth reading.

RMC · 03-26-2005, 09:12 AM

^ Ignoring and fixing text

RMC · 03-26-2005, 12:21 PM

OMFG NEW COMIC!!!!!111~!!!!111

X-3 · 03-26-2005, 12:39 PM

RMC · 03-26-2005, 12:48 PM

The spelling is kinda messed up because im using a british accent.
