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.
Hahah, fantastic!
And I couldn’t give a speech either, if some fabulous, busty brunette was sitting naked in the first row…
Not only is Wayne self-conscious about being the only person in the room with clothes on, he’s also worried about the fact that he is apparently incapable of imagining what anyone’s actual naughty parts look like.
…..sigh……
For all we know, Wayne could be presenting to a Nudist group…
Nah, even for TWOGAG that’s a little silly…
OR IS IT?!
The boner Wayne’s going to get is gonna be pretty distracted too.
Whut?! Guy actually giving real advice! Whats she up too…?
Iunno. She knows he’s a fucked up individual, I s’pose. She knows it won’t work for him and his anxieties.
Like Wayne needs an excuse to picture someone naked!
I hope the microphone was on.
Would you mind to put away this mag please?
Because Wayne is going to hold a speech of course.^^°
I do a lot of public speaking and he is going about that all wrong. You’re supposed to imagine that YOU are naked. And that the entire audience is laughing at you. No… Wait… That’s just what happens every time I speak in public.
Is it Me or Is the girl with the mag the ‘bullshitting blonde’?
I was going to say something about the presentation being to a nudist group but End of Ways ebat me to it.
@Phill I think it’s you. The hair style is different, which doesn’t prove anything, but then the nose is different too, and this one has a sharper chin. The eyes, though similar, have a slightly different shape, and the pupils are larger though that could be down to being in a darkened room.
The other strip, for comparison, is at http://www.twogag.com/archives/2261
I never liked this tactic. What if you were giving a speech at your high school, and your biggest crush was in the front row or nearby? I would think the awkward boner would make it worse, somehow.
Damn that well place book!
Guy’s plan to make him feel self-conscious must of worked :I cause she’d never help Wayne.
She’s still surly, but it’s been about twelve strips since she’s done anything overtly anti-social.
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH GUY?
Therapy apparently does have its benefits.
The tried and true tested method for me is… Not being in a position where I had to do public speaking, and being “sick” when I needed to.
I don’t care that I failed English class in high school. I can read and write pretty darn well. Just don’t ask me to replay that to an audience.
Hey, at least he’s not getting aroused.
On stage WITH a boner, and without a largely homosexual male or heterosexual female constituent is likely to end in tears.
And no tips.
Are those… stitches on all the guys’ chests? DOES THAT MEAN THAT Wayne HAS STITCHES LIKE THAT AND JUST THINKS IT’S NORMAL?
Or maybe it’s chest hair. >.>
I think it’s chest hair, but I think I’ll pretend it’s stitches and Wayne thinks it’s normal, just so I can imagine what Frank has done to all the Wayne clones. >:) I’m slightly evil.
