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.
That’ll teach him to walk on the finely mowed lawn.
Finely mower my arse. look at the sidewalk, all jagged and uneven.. xD
Probably a pourly poured concrete sidewalk, over a finely mowed lawn. :-P
Sounds like a Wayne way to do a job. :P
Now you won’t ever get an electrical bill again Wayne. You should be thankful Frank’s system killed the mail man.
How did the mail man deliver the electrical bill in the first place?
Clearly Frank needs to do a little more work on his security system ;)
Wayne pays bills online. He printed it out to make showing it to Frank and discussing it easier.
If Frank’s security system killed the mailman… how did Wayne get the electric bill?
If the bill for that incident is due already, the mailman must have been dead for a while..
mailmen ALWAYS acomplish their job, even if its the last thing they do.
Rain, sleet, sunshine or sudden death?
so…Wayne lives with Frank now?
Sure, why not? Assuming he’s not a figment of Frank’s imagination.
They all live together. You know that, right?
What? That can’t be right. Why would Guy break in and steal all of Wayne’s stuff then? And surely Guy and Wayne would notice all the dead bodies Frank hides in the walls….you know what yeah, they are sick enough to live together and have all these things happen.
That new security system is also through the roof
Bah-doom-pssssssshhhhhhhh!!!
Uh-Oh, here comes the Girl Scouts.
I see Frank’s got the new frankPad. It’s like that Apple-made thingamajigger, but causes slightly fewer unintended lethal mutations. Of course, it still has way more of the intended ones.
Ahaha, through the roof. Very punny.
Just lol
Lets hope they aren’t with Duke or they are REALLY in trouble.
Tesla would be proud.
So, wait, does Frank also live with Wayne and Guy? Did Wayne move?
Is it the same death ray he had attached to the death clock from strip 48?
You stole meh avatar! Thief!
This brought back memories of Red Alert :O
Little boxes, little boxes
All made out of ticky-tacky
Little boxes, little boxes
And they all look just th-PZCHAAOOORRRRRCHH
What, just because it drains the power from a ten-block area, it’s still efficient… at killing intruders.
Is that a fucking tesla coil on their room?
Actually, if it were the Tesla Coil, it wouldn’t function as a intruder-repellent. The Tesla Coil was manufactured to destribue electricity through the air without harming living organisms, so it wouldn’t even have touched the mailman. Even if the mailman was wearing heavy quantities of metal, the electricity would have bounced off, leaving the mailman stunned, but not shocked.
Is this a C&C: Red Alert reference? ‘Cause this totally reminds me of Red Alert. And tesla coils. Big, juicy, tesla coils.
