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.
She looks like a bitch!
Honesty in advertizing?
she looks hot
He needs to find the store she shops at–oh wait he’d just have to put on a black tee. Honestly.
Isn’t the dream of every artist to be “copied”? A trend-setter?
No, that’s the dream of every retailer.
Guy in green shirt = WANT!
Same here.
GOD, she looks so much hotter in my favorite color!
“Guy in no shirt = WANT!”
*fix’d
Actually I’d like Frank in the green shirt. ;) It’s for The Collection.
Well he is sort of wearing one in this previous comic. http://www.twogag.com/archives/1247
Awwh yeah Guy, wrecking Wayne’s confidence all the time. OuO
the one thing she hasn’t taken away from him is now gone what else can she take away from him at this point?
Writing. She could write something very successful.
She hasn’t? I could have sworn he threatened to steal her hobby of stealing other people’s hobby’s because she stole his hobby of writing.
His virginity
Shouldn’t he be honored that she likes his style enough to wear it?
I can’t figure out what the function is of those little pink Mike & Ikes over Wayne’s face in panel 3.
Don’t worry. She’ll simply start copying Frank to mess with his self-esteem. Not that he has any emotions.
Guy stopped messing with Frank very early on.
Wayne is a much easier target.
Guy is a bitch, but not stupid.
Strawberry Schnapps: Only the hardest stuff for Wayne.
You should try it! It’s delicious with lime soda!
I tell you who you are, Wayne — you’re someone who drinks Strawberry Schnapps. Put that stake in the ground and stick by it.
I didn’t know ANYONE drank Strawberry Shnapps. Cherry yes, but damn.
But this is Texas, so if you’re drinking anything less manly than a Shiner Bock you might as well be a mary.
I want that top now…
Since I wasn’t even aware that strawberry schnapps existed, I assumed it just said Sorry Schnapps on the bottle. Admit it, it’s plausible.
Wayne’s answer can be found with that bottle. He needs to smash it over Guy’s head!
And then she steals his booze.
