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.
Glock?
Shlick.
@Javis
Does it matter?
Not an usual sacrificial tool.
A Desert Eagle would be more like it.
overkill man
Overkill? On Guy? Really?
never liked jokes or stuff making fun about god but i got to say that glok18 looks nice
Not to be a gun nut, but the Glock 18 would be the fully automatic variant. A better guess would be a Glock 17, or something else.
Yeah! Leave God alone! You don’t know what He’s going through, what with all His followers being fat stupid Americans and with all those scientists saying mean things like He doesn’t exist. Just let Him be!
Making fun of Frank not God
this is my new favourite strip. frank’s always been my favourite character, this really sums him up nicely.
No biggie, he can re-grow them! haha
Well, he can regrow Wayne.
Guy, however… I think she’s immortal. She’s survived at least two exorcisms, one bout of being fatally poisoned (possibly) by Frank’s cooking, and lord knows what else.
Wouldn’t a {voice} from were ever commanding you to sacrifice others in its name be a show of loyalty, not so much not being able to do it himself, e.g. Abraham or Job… Any-who I thought it was a good show of Frank’s moral character. Kinda reminds me of how society in general works now.
It isn’t God testing him, it’s Guy, sitting up there in a tree with a megaphone.
That DOES explain the sarcastic tone…
But doesn’t explain why does Guy want Frank to kill herself as well. :D
The gun seems to be excited about the forthcoming murder spree. I hope Frank treats her well.
Surprise twist!
Guy and Wayne aren’t actually his friends. Simply tenants.
DANG! Good point. :D
Is it just me or is this the first time Frank admits that he’s a psychopath? :D
Oh yea, Frank’s about to get old testament on somebody’s ass!
I’m in love
Just remember, shiny side out.
Look at that marvelous weather during winter, in which Frank receives his message from God. Either the weather is another manifestation of Frank’s delusion or…
Frank went to Australia? God is a snowbird?
