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.
Guy is my waifu.
Masterful as always, friend. Masterful as always.
What this guy must have done to actually make Guy fake her own death, or just react at all.
GOD Guy is a douche… I’d be annoyed if she wasn’t so fucking awesome.
I was wondering did Guy steal the idea from the TV show My Name Is Earl? Earl did the same thing in once and in an episode Earl had to fix it.
Guy doesn’t need to fix ANYTHING. *Stare*
:p
Seriously, though, you can’t really “steal” an idea as common as faking your own death.
I faked my death once. It was hilarious.
The above is 100% true. Although I did have to cut the plan a bit short because one of my friends was freaking out too much and I didn’t want him to do anything stupid.
Lol, only in a comic. I can easily see something like this happening.
I’m guessing that this was one of Guy’s nicer break ups.
Rather than just giving the “why you suck” speech or beating the crap out of him, Guy faked her death. Spared his feelings and all that.
we are forgeting the last fram where it is hinted that there is some one or thing in the coffin.
It was probably ac lone from Frank.
Forensic investigation revealed that the contents of the coffin were a barrista who had short-changed Guy.
The timing was rather fortunate as the weight of the coffin was the only part of the plan Guy had yet to work out.
*barrister
…So….I’m gunna be the one to say it?…Fine then THAT MAN HAS WAYNE’S EYEBORWS AND BEARD HAIR!!
DN is sneakily revealing to us Guy’s secret affections for Wayne!
His face is also shaped the same way, he has a similar body structure, and his hair is untidy. He’s pretty much a Wayne look-a-like, just with a yellow shirt.
I heard you can actually hire people to fake your death for you but they’re incredibly hard to find.
Well sure, you can hire people for just about anything
