    A Comic or Whatever

    This comment made me realize that I did in fact put my part on the wrong side.... I usually try to think of this sort of thing spatially versus going off mirror/reference but I def goofed this time. Though I don't know what Grey's dominant hand is, he would have to smash both hands to not be...

    We've Seen The Future, And It's NSFW

    I do agree that this strip 'punches downward' but more than punch I see it as a playful tap. Were not seeking to demonize or hate, but have fun with the idea. The punchline is silly and a little cool, not an attempt to make anyone uncomfortable. I'm sorry you're upset but this was an honest...

    Baldur's Gate Art Day

    It was just an hour+ speed paint/render deal. I wanted to give an impression of a castle city without going into too much detail. I've been looking at too many awesome landscape artists so I thought I would give it a try.

    Baldur's Gate Art Day

    In my first draft I had her as the necromantic queen on a dais in the back but I had to cut it to make everything fit. Yam sorry

    Obligatory

    Thank you so much! Yea I was really happy with how this one came out, specifically the shading. This was a test run of a slightly different shading technique that I will work on implementing more in the future, though it is still in its infancy. I'm happy so many people seemed to notice :D

    Critical Miss Art Update

    Thanks for letting me know! Over the past few+ months I've been putting a lot more effort into the faces I draw and making them less cartoony. This has consisted of hashing out more distinct and realistic jawlines, drawing more stylized and expressive eyes and making mouths contour more to the...

    Critical Miss Art Update

    Mind if I ask what era or style you preferred? Maybe link a couple strips so I can have a better idea of what about the old style you preferred, if you care to that is. My art has changed in some conscious ways and a number of unconscious ways as I've developed so I'm curious what particularly...

    On Gaymers and Cons

    Fair enough, I was looking at progress as synonymous with good (as the silly liberal I am), but I guess it is an example of people not going straight for their lynching sticks so that's at least a thing. But just because he isn't the worst out there isn't exactly a reason to free him of...

    On Gaymers and Cons

    First off, we aren't comparing these things as directly as you assume. Our first draft of the strip had the guy asking what place a transgender bar would have in the second panel, with the first and third primarily remaining the same. This would have made the direct comparison you are assuming...

    On Gaymers and Cons

    Ok this thread got out of hand fast, it is getting challenging to keep up. One stance I've adopted regarding the necessity of GaymerX is that it is a criticism. A criticism of the fact the LGBTA folk don't feel entirely at home at the standard convention. It shows there is a need to change an...

    Erin and Hobbes #2

    Weve got another in the works that may change your mind, its going to be a mini arc. I feel the same way with Watterson's work, those fucking window decals of "BADASS" calvin taking a piss have always rubbed me the wrong way. When Grey pitched the idea I was very skeptical and immediately...

    Fake Geek Girls

    I don't know if I agree that consumers ALWAYS put more thought into the products they consume(creators know how to make them some layers too), but I kinda agree about it in this instance. We've dealt with this topic before and this time I don't think Grey intended to push past any topics as much...
