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.
LOL you got me on that one i laughed when i got to the last panel xD always get a laugh out of reading your comic
It was only 1 hour…
It was only an hour…
DAYUM Lars, you gonna get the boys now.
I was confused with this comment until I remembered he was gay.
Nice twist.
I wanted to point out, though, that “loose”, in the second panel, should be “lose”. It’s quite a common mistake, but I thought I’d tell you anyway.
‘pant, pant, pant’ (Deep breath) Is it possible to die from something being to funny? Seriously, kidney hurts from laughing XD
yes you can, i can not recall who it was or when, but i do know that a old man die from laughing at a funny tv show.
in 1975 a man in England died because he was laughing so hard at an episode of The Goodies… was that what you meant?
Wait so does that mean that Wayne is about to get replaced just like he replaced the last guy?
Lars found Wayne’s friends to be abusive and unhealthy for him. So he wouldn’t stick around. Wayne needs (and deserves) the abuse).
So no.
So we get another clone. Huray!
if both of them are going to be the same sides then they should wear different colors and one should grow out a beard |(
….
but still funny through out the strip X)
And Wayne drops even further in Guy’s estimation.
People ‘lose’ weight. When they gain weight they loosen their belts.
I knew it wasn’t Wayne! Lars doesn’t have a bang from his widow’s peak!!
…from his what now? :/
The point of his hairline in the middle of his forehead. Where it goes V. That’s called a widow’s peak.
Next time we see Lars in another page, he’ll be the big lard that we all know. He’ll never upkeep his small weight.
Yeah, he likes Ding Dongs to much. Both kinds.
Does this mean hes going to be skinny from now on? Possibly leading to hilarious misunderstandings and a brief but glowing love triangle between guy and former fat wane?
Which leaves original wane confused but happier than hes ever been everything gets better for him when she stops hanging out with him but in the end they they break up fat wane becomes fat again because of the depression from the break up.
Then wane looses all hes gained once guy returns to being his 24/7 friend but secretly hes happy about it because despite all his success he missed guy. THE END (plot in 1min2sec)
lol
“Formerly fat Wayne” is Wayne’s cousin, Lars (or Lardo).
Lars and Guy together would not help Wayne, since Wayne wants Guy.
First of all, two people can’t have a love triangle.
Secondly, Lars is into guys, not Guy. So no.
loose? loose??? Shouldn it not be Lose?
loose? loose??? Should it not be Lose?
Damn the edit
Keep in mind, who says he doesn’t have another cousin?
For cousins, they sure do look… clone-ishly similar…
Whoa.
