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.
What color were they going to use to cause all that carnage? Neon Pink?
Also, First! Wow! First time this has ever happened, or will ever happen.
I wonder what backlash this will cause…
Use this power and knowledge responsibly, for it can cause quite a toll on the person you are now and the person you will be. I learned the hard way.
You would not BELIEVE how many iterations we had to go through before figuring out that letting you get the first post was the key to victory against the alien menace of 2138.
A wise decision indeed. Hopefully, the first poster will use this power wisely to defeat the invaders in the future.
I don’t know, the simulation I ran said that if he forgot to post just the word First then the mood would be destroyed in 2112 and the world would be destroyed beneath the waves.
It’s a good thing he remembered to say first then.
But he remembered late. Who KNOWS the dramatic influence on the course of the future that will have.
In that case, we will need a new warrior to save the future.
“Agent” orange.
I’m surprised Frank doesn’t want that outcome.
Well you can destroy the world, or you can scientifically disassemble world and its occupants, but not both.
If Frank wanted to wipe out cities, it would happen.
The first field test of one of his experiments destroyed 2/3 of the world’s population. Then he got ready for the next test.
Here’s the thing with Frank. He is indifferent to death as a side effect, but it normally isn’t his outright goal, outside of serial killing.
Wait, what are they painting that would cause this outcome? O.o
It’s best that you don’t know.
This question is like the old “Do not push the button” gag. You really wanna know what will happen when you push it but the only way to find out is to push it. But if you push it it’s suddenly too late to un-push it. But if you don’t push it you’ll never know.
I WANNA PUSH THE BUTTON!
Yard sale sign for Frank’s house.
I just know there a mass effect joke i could made with this…. but for the life of me I can not find it!
How about this: http://www.geek-spire.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/me3ending.png [Spoiler]
I think the joke is is that he asked what happens if we don’t go green and the computer showed him thinking he meant if we don’t save thee world instead or paint.
You just made this comic make so much more sense. I thank you.
painting it green pisses guy off less, so she doesn’t destroy all of the world… just most of it.
So this is why green is the primary color for this site and Wayne’s clothing….
could be… its the paint for the next war machine, if he paints it red it will be too obvious and warrant a preemptive strike, green is a little less suspect.
Frank doesn’t want that sort of body count. That would be wasting fuel.
I actually agree with this. Imagine how history would have changed if certain past totalitarian government uniforms were baby pink.
But I LIKE fedoras
All that carnage just from a yard sale sign directing people to Frank’s house.
Thank god they didn’t go blue!
A whole city destroyed, and only 70k casualties? Frank is slipping.
the rest ceased to exist initially so they don’t count
The reason green has a lower body count is that green is not a creative color. Search my name for details.
