Name Game: Taking Off

[MrAkuma201]

Ninja Octopus it can strike at any time.

 

[Bloodstain]

I find it amusing.
I now want to have my personal squid buddy. We'd be, like, best buddies forever.

Proving once again how inept the TSA security theatre is.

 

[zidine100]

so thats what they mean by a squid is fine too.

 

[debramster123]

really awesome

 

[Susan Arendt]

Octopassenger must make more appearances in the strip. The pony demands it.

 

[Gaderael]

The pencils look great.

I don't know what's up with that guy though. It's like he's never seen an octopus on a plane before.

 

[Twinmill5000]

What's sad is that my step brother worked for the TSA in PDX. Easiest job ever. Until after 9/11. He quit after that.

Great sketch

 

[dubious_wolf]

The Squid is my favorite character.

 

[Valagetti]

I like it. If she made that while waiting for a plane, she must be quite talented.
I reckon the squid should be squirting ink in his face for comedic effect. Still great though.

 

[Owlslayer]

Even though it's not a comic, it's still pleasantly amusing
I could totally imagine this happening in reality... quite hilarious.
I wish i could draw like that... Actually, i wish i could draw at all. When it's "Owlslayer meets a pencil", then we get some pretty crappy stick-figures...and that only happens on a good day.

Drawing like anything takes practice. It's a developed skill, not a natural talent.

Well some do have some natural talent, you know, and learn fast, and some just plain suck. But yeah, everyone can develop their drawing skill by practicing. But a lazy person can dream, can't he?

 

[burningdragoon]

wait is name game canadian?

wait is name game canadian?

Unluckily many of contributors to Escapist are canadian. We can't have everything
Also, think of it like i do: at least they're not mexican immigrants!

Oh, i know you are sorry that i say so, canadian contributors. Ride your snowmobiles back to your igloos and cry. Watch out for polar bears, feed your husky, move on. Someone had to tell you The Truth.

Spoiler

...erm.. joking joking don't ban me, bro!

Not Canadian, but I only know that cuz I'm a sucker for blog-following, especially for comics.


On the sketch, all I can say is squirrr!

 

[HK_01]

This was easily better than the last couple of "proper" Name Games. Probably because I find that octopus adorable.

 

[Djed Moros]

Eight invertebrate reasons of awesome.

 

[RTR]

WHOOOOOOO PODI PUSS!!!

That's half right. It does take practice, a lot of practice, but there are people who start off with more advantage. It's like basketball; you don't have to be tall to play it, but if you are you have a great head start.

OT: Being an artist myself, I always find looking at the sketch work of comic and cartoon art to be more interesting than the finished article due the insight it gives into the way the artist works. Also, great expression on the guy behind; pretty much what I'd look like under similar circumstances.
