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.
Can someone break out the crayons and explain this joke to me?
Think the idea is that there was something seriously wrong with her eyes and she didn’t know it. My first thought was a condition (forget the name of it) where blood sort of leaks into the eye or something (you’ll know it because it’ll be solid red, filling up the area in front of the white of the eye); it occurs due to concussions or head trauma in general; if you hit the head hard enough (most cage fighters probably have it, at some point in time). Then I realized the eyes were glowing; he had turned out the light.
I’m not getting this one either… no idea why turning out the lights would affect her eyes, or why a mirror… not a medusa effect I don’t think.
Guy is seriously ill, making her eyes glow red and risking blindness.
Wayne saw the symptoms but never said anything, jeopardizing Guy’s health, because he assumed it was a symptom of Guy being evil.
Either that or she has cataracts…. it’s an eye condition that can lead to blindness, and gives off a similar effect to how a cat’s eyes reflect light even in dark conditions. It sometimes can appear that the eyes are glowing. Just speculation though o .o
http://www.twogag.com/archives/2034#comments I think I got it. :U
Thanks Nick. It sounds simple now that you spell it out, but for some reason I just didn’t get the joke in third panel.
But Wayne did tell her about it?
So is Guy gonna be blind now?
It is assumed he knew for a long time before working up to telling her, not realizing it was a medical issue.
pfff the problem here is that guy probably suffered one of franks expermint were she got red glowstick liquid were her pupils thus whenever the lights are turned off or its dark enough her eyes glow red
The pupil and the iris, and you’re explanation makes as much sense to me as anything else. Aside from thinking Guy is evil (which she probably is, just not evil enough for the ‘demonic’ eyes), why else was Wayne supposed to think her eyes seemed to be glowing red?
If she glares at you really hard do you think you’d burst into flames?
you trolls are guys
Red eyes=Lasers She shoot herself by accident when he put the mirror in front of her
She was hurt by the power of her own evil glare me thinks. sompthing Frank did obviously.
She could set ya on fire. She’s GUY after all…..
^ Well look at that. Evil eye is now an avatar picture.
Heh, I like that wallpaper though, hidden ‘shadow’ picture and all… But this comic? Definitely ftw. The punchline, (took me an explanation to get it, damn!) oddly enough, only one of my favorite panels. I dig the second one, just for the pearly effects their eyes take on… with that flat red in her pupils to contrast. (The whole mirror glows with it!) Maybe she’s dead, and too mean to notice. :D
How could she not have noticed herself? lol
okay, so, like King G said, it was a medical thing with her eyes that made them glow red when it was dark, im sure thats an actual medical thing somewhere, (just like its actually possible to puke rainbows, only thats an extremely serious disease that kills people) and the mirror thing that Batman is confused about was just so that Guy was able to see it too. she can’t see her own eyes without a mirror
And since the glow was only noticeable in the dark it’s doubtful she ever would’ve noticed herself as I’m fairly certain she turns the lights on in the bathroom when she’s intending to use the mirror.
too be fair she is that evil
In his place, if I found out Guy’s eyes glowed in the dark, I wouldn’t think she’d become more evil: I’d just be “oh, that’s Guy all over…”
jajajajajaja LOL
I see now, the way he has the mirror is to cause light to reflect off of the other person’s eyes making them look red.
When i first saw this I thought it was a joke about mass effect how the more renegade points you get you start to develop scars then eventually your eyes turn bright red. But I don’t know know.
