A Webcomic?!

Hi there! In my spare time and love of FIRST, I decided to start writing a webcomic based on a fictional rookie team. I'd love for you to check it out and give me some feedback, and if you like it, tell your friends! There are only a few pages up so far, so there isn't much plot to comment on, but I have quite a bit drawn and will update twice a week. I may actually increase updates but first I want to see how rapidly I can produce pages.

Thanks bunches for your time!

The frames act up in Safari, I get about 100 px of the main window.

Indeed, the frames are quite funky on Safari.

But the comic has potential!

Re: A Webcomic?!

The frames are funky on FireFox 1.5 on Windows XP as well, but the comic seems very nice.

Do you have a graphics tablet that you use to draw it?

Re: A Webcomic?!

Yeah, on FF on my computer it's broken, but on my friend's it's fine. The layout needs some tweaking, I s'pose, so I'll get around to it eventually.

I have a tablet but I hand-draw it, ink it, and then scan it. The text and the few touches of shading (because otherwise you couldn't tell the characters apart ;D) are the only parts done on the computer.

Edit - Okay, it should be working fine now in Firefox. I still don't know about Safari. I'm personally quite content with IE, so I'm not very familiar with anything else.

This is fabulous! I'm a huge fan of webcomics and I'm really excited to see where you go with this.

What days of the week will you be updating?

Re: A Webcomic?!

awesome.

Ive been told there are drawing packages that you can use for comic strips. You enter the characters once, then you can manipulate them any way you want, so you dont have to keep drawing them over and over by hand.

Re: A Webcomic?!

A special package? That's cool, especially for those of us that are extremely lazy. I like doing the drawings by hand sometimes though because it gives me something to do during math. And English. And gym. And everything else, for that matter.

Updates Monday and Thursday, I'm adding a page right now.

Really what programs are those??? I've always wanted to start my own webcomic.

Re: A Webcomic?!

Love the comic. Quick question. Would it be okay if you let me use this for my signature?



I don't know why, but I can't help but smile when I see that. Something about a picture of a person saying "Rofl" is very funny to me. <.< >.>
