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.
Nice to see them both in formal clothes… ;)
First lol i love your comix good sir, any plans for the hatfilms ones?
true story jajaja
Did, Guy go with, Wayne as his wedding date?
First off Guy is a GIRL!!! Second, they probably just stumbled across the wedding in the firs place. This is totally something they would do.
I think you might have misread the comment.
They meant ‘as Wayne’s wedding date’ not ‘Guytook Wayne as a wedding date’ and yes, they would totally crash a wedding for fun.
i would totally crash a wedding with popcorn so i could throw it at the bride adn groom when they started acting all lovey-dovey – as long as i had someone with me who was slower at running away and would get caught instead.
Is Fred Wayne’s relative?
This one strip is better than the entire movie of Wedding Crashers!
agreed!
Huh? o.o
She said it to get Statler and Waldorf there to go away.
Who didn’t see this coming?! Hopefully the sequel will be better. The again, they might replace one of the main actors and it wouldn’t be made until 5 or 10 years after this one and they look older and it just won’t feel the same.
Those last two speech-bubbles look an awful lot like sperm.
At least they didn’t start throwing popcorn during the matinee…
I’m grateful that my wedding didn’t have a twist like that, haha.
I found out about you a couple days ago and after reading through i just have to say you are brilliant sir, love the jokes and the expressions are always spot on. awesome comic :]
By the way, Twitter fails at stalking, you need Facebook. Obviously. OvO
