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.
First!!… Damn, now I feel retarded..
Oh how I love this sarcasm…
that girl has alot of rage bottle’d up i wonder if Frank has found a way to tap into that power source
Guy’s sarcasm is just great.
I wonder if he can even hear.
Prolly not. Very good chance he’s deep in a coma. Maybe this entire series of events has just been Wayne dreaming….Nah its just the different worlds that Frank creates in his spare time XD
Where is the green circle on the bandages?
if I could marry a fictional character, that would be her
My I suggest investing in a bear-proof suit first? Never mind, she’d just set you on fire then.
So would I. If I was a fifth dan aikido master.
Was it for using the word “literally” again?
Well, Wayne
you know the old sayin’
no pain
no gain
The funniest thing about this strip to me is the therapist’s line in panel 2.
hell yes.
that was toally unexpected, but then i felt dumb for not expecting it.
Why else would she be seeing a therapist?
Lots of reasons. Three off the top of my head: to piss off the therapist. To get tips on how to exploit people who are in a needy place. because vulnerable people are often found in the waiting room.
They say it’s a fine line between love and hate. Guy’s feelings for Wayne, however, go through a filter of, what, how many demons is she possessed by?
seven at least
Usually Guy just annoys me. But this side of her personality cracks me up! :)
She was going to pull the trigger, but pity stopped her. “Such a pity I just run out of ammo,” – she was thinking, walking away.
Ah yes, Bored of the Rings. Great book.
OH GOD THE PUN
x_X
This. Proving once again that Guy could totally take over twogag and just renmae the whole webcomic “Guy” if she ever cared enough to break the 4th wall, and we’d all just throw her a parade. Coincidentally, Frank could spinoff his own epic anything: be it an awesome sci-fi graphic novel, a hit sitcom or billion dollar blockbuster movie. I look forward to that day as well.
Oh yea, and Wayne could stay sidekick to both in both scenarios. He is just one of those FOIL characters that emphasizes the hell out of the other main characters.
At least she spared his hair.
