I’ve attempted to write a FAQ a few times but they’ve always ended up not helpful or helpful but depressing. But due to a recent spike in questions I’ve decided to just go for it.
Besides this post, the FAQ also got it’s own permanent page.
Is Guy and Wayne a couple?
- No they’re just friends, if that’s a word you can use to describe their relationship. Frenemies?
Do Frank, Guy and Wayne live together, like are they roommates?
- This is unclear even to me, If a joke requires them to be roommates, then that’s what they are.
What’s Guy’s real name?
- I’m not sure, I haven’t asked.
Hello, I’m a writer and I need someone to draw a comic, I can’t pay right now, (maybe later if the comic sells) but It’ll be good practice and great exposure for you! are you interested?
- No, I got my own stories I would like to tell if I ever got the time. Also those reasons aren’t real.
Do you have any tips on how to start a webcomic?
- Just start it.
No, Really.
I don’t know how to make a website for my comic, can you help?
- Neither did I but then I Googled “comicpress” you should too.
How do you become a professional artist?
- By having people pay you to do art. You can be a professional artist at any skill level, as long as you make a living out of your craft, you’re by definition a “professional artist”.
Of course, the more skilled you are, the bigger the chance of someone paying you. but you need to market yourself, very few artist just gets “found”.
How long have you been drawing?
- I started for real around 2003, then around 2006 I decided it’s what I’d like to do with my life.
Do you exhibit at any conventions?
- I’d like to, I attended San Diego Comic Con in 2011, but I’ve yet to exhibit at any convention. Living in Sweden makes the logistics and expenses very overwhelming.
Some day!
How did you come up with Twogag?
- It kinda just evolved from a vacuum. I only knew what I didn’t want in the comic. I didn’t want Twogag to rely on pop culture references, I didn’t want any self insertion characters and I didn’t want it to be about videogames.
How do I become an artist?
- Draw.
How do I become a writer?
- Write.
I’d like to become better at drawing, got any tips?
- Everybody says this, but it’s the only way, man. Just draw, draw, draw, draw. Sacrifice your gaming, friend and movie time and draw some more.
But something every aspiring artist should ask themselves is; “do I actually like to draw, or do I just like the idea of drawing?”
I want to become a professional webcartoonist, got any tips?
- Love drawing, hate money.
If you meet the above criteria and do create a webcomic, market it. Don’t just post your pages or strips and expect readers to find it.
Do you write your comics beforehand or just free-ball it?
- I generally start out with a vague idea or concept and develop it either in my head or as I write it.
It’s a good idea to remove yourself from distractions such as the internet while doing this. I used to browse sites a lot with the excuse “I’m looking for inspiration.” but that has yet to work.
What software do you use?
- Adobe Photoshop.
What version of Photoshop do you use?
- It doesn’t matter.
What’s the best question you’ve been asked?
- This one.
Will you ever make a FAQ?
- I have a feeling the frequency of this question will subside, but yes.
So guy was once acquainted with a slightly overweight version of Wayne? Freaky. (And hilarious.)
Younger Guys hair is pretty bad-ass.
XD A friendship bassed on a very long mistake
Wayne…you’re not really looking better off if it took you that long to tell her. XD
Haha, maybe it was Wayne’s overweight cousin x’D
“WAYNE” hats were really popular that season.
LOL I just love this one :)
Aw, poor other Wayne. I wonder where he is now.
and oh look! 50th comic!!
Heh… that explains a lot. :D … Oh wait no it doesn’t. XD
Young Guy looks even cuter then the normal Guy… I’m gonna burn in hell if I keep saying things like this. O_o”
I tried that once XD. It worked pretty well, even when, in mid-sentence, i realized that the person wasn’t who I was thinking it was :D
This explains why Wayne hates Guy so much. But why doesn’t he just replace himself with a cardboard cut out and run away?
I like young Guy’s look!
Woah, just read through the whole archive and I just love your awesome comic! Thanks for saving my day :D
I found your comic about an hour or so ago and went back and read everything.
I have found my new favorite comic. This one is freaking AWESOME. I scared my cats a couple times by laughing as loud as I did.
haha ;D another funny comic. Though it was a bit confusing that Wayne was the one talking in the second panel. Especially since Guy’s sentence ended with multiple dots, as if she’s about to continue her sentence. Still a minor thing. keep it up!
I’m probably not the first to ask, but why is there a booger up in Guy’s nose?
It’s a piercing
looks like a booger to me. it’s green and it’s where a nostril would be. why would anyone pyt a piece of metal inside their nostril? it’s just silly
It’s actually more grey to me, but it is definitely very large and sitting a bit low. There’s only so much that can be done when it is in a small comic, however.
