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.
Wow Guy is scared I’d though she’d at least would have pulled out her revolver, and Wayne… well that’s expected of the chihuahua-vampire-man.
Least they kept cool heads.
Bet the guy also is the prisons Santa during Christmas even if the beard is itchy.
I didn´t expect to see Guy reading … a magazine about brooms.
i love your comic i already vote for you at Top Webcomics, good luck
Wayne and Guy visit each other so they can sit around and read together? I’d think that was sweet in a way except I’m pretty sure Guy just does it in a “I am sitting here ACTIVELY IGNORING YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A WORTHLESS PEON” sort of way. Then again, she didn’t hang Wayne outside the window, tied up and with a sign around his neck reading “Take him, leave me alone!”
They must have a very deep and complicated relationship.
I think they are just roomates.
My ex-wife and I were roommates for a long while after our marriage had fallen apart. Even though we shared the same apartment still, we hardly ever saw one another much less sat on the same couch to read. And I’m pretty sure we hated each other at LEAST as much as Wayne and Guy do!
Hmmm… is it ominous that Frank isn’t in the strip?
i thought it was talking about Freddie Krueger for a second. but i forgot that he doesn’t have a hook hand. :-P
… I’m not certain you understand what the job description of ‘pirate’ actually entails.
Now I wish text could convey emotions better to indicate that’s all in good fun.
This is the most realistic strip ever in the entire history of this webcomic (in my opinion anyway). I would totally have boarded up the house and stood guard with some weapon while listening to the news like them if that ever happened.
Is it just me, or did anyone else find it weird that they were listening to the radio. To be blunt, no one does that anymore when they are at home. ;P
I’m guessing they wanted to listen to music while reading, but didn’t want any music videos distracting them. The news was probably a special bulletin.
