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.
Awe. In the second panel Guy almost doesn’t look eternally pissed at the world. cute.
That’s because she realizes there are a bunch of geeks to beat up.
She’s so happy when she has blood to shed (from someone else.)
Roleplay-ception!!
She changed her jacket. Her previous one was fitting her better imo
That’s her “Jock” roleplay outfit methinks :)
It’s ironic. She’s playing the role of bully to a high school virgin named Steve.
I don’t think Guy is role playing
You don’t say? :)
She’s not the only one who isn’t ;)
Agreed.
Yo dawg I heard you like roleplaying so I started roleplaying while I’m roleplaying while you roleplay while you’re roleplaying
Wayne, nice ears. Does that go with that Elven character of yours? :I
It not Wayne’s Elven character, it’s Steve’s!
All Wayne is wearing to role-play Steve is the satchel (and possibly a “Kick Me” sign stuck to his back). Steve is wearing the cape (over said possibly sign) and ears to role-play the Elven Cleric Adriel.
Something awfully cuter about Guy today… I can’t seem to figure out what though…
She SMILED. Sure, it was at the prospect of beating up nerds, but still…
Her hair is defying gravity more than usual?
Silly Guy, you’re supposed to take on a role DIFFERENT than your usual self… :P
THIS COMMENT.
Hahahah.
Sad thing is, I didn’t notice anything odd about Wayne’s ears until about the fourth time I looked.
I should have known better. For a second there I really thoght she was going to play along with Wayne.
I find it funny that Guy is bashing Wayne for Fantasy Roleplaying when she and Frank had a maingroup in high school.
It could also be simply for the sake of once again assailing Wayne’s self-esteem.
I believe it was for a class and they never finished.
Which strip is that in? I don’t even know what a “maingroup” is…
Duuude, I had a dream of your comic. Frank was going around kidnapping people and injecting them with something to turn them into Wayne and Guy. It was fucked up.
nifty
Anyone else thinking that panel 3 sounds like a great porn intro?
I didn’t notice his elf ears until after the last panel… so subtle…
Is i just me, or is Wayne’s face almost always turned away from us on most last panels?
