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.
Is Wayne… LEARNING?
He failed to ask ‘inside or out of the circle?’ So no, not learning.
One step at a time, friend.
Wayne is always learning. The problem is the the learning resets every so often. Like after this experiment.
I love how much people talk about him being replaced by clones, even though that was just the one comic all the way back there.
Not really sure ’bout the safe area. X’s look suspicious, but we’re talking about Frank, so…
G-Man? Isn’t he the guy who was in Half-Life?
I have no idea, I use it as a joke ’cause of Gideon Gordon Graves, from Scott Pilgrim.
G-Man is from half-life and it also means an special agent of the US
“suspicious”? It just marks the spot.
took me a while to realise that the X isn’t the safe area, it’s the “unsafe” area …
he needs to stay above the first couple of inches of the floor.
:)
The joke is he doesn’t know which area is the safe area
Good job Wayne. Stay outside the circle! Or is it inside that’s safe? Damn…
I think the walls are supposed to be safe, considering the corners have caution tape. JUMP INTO A CORNER AND PRETEND THERE ARE SPIDERS!
This is genius, There are no traps in that room. The experiment is to see how the subject reacts when they are unable to determine what the safe zone is.
I should try it someday…
Yeah… Frank doesn’t do non-lethal things to Wayne.
It’s mentally lethal, not physically lethal. Like his famous Paranoia Study( http://www.twogag.com/archives/1705).
Ehh… Your link gives a good argument, but Guy is there, too. Whenever it’s just Wayne, he winds up dead or in the emergency room or otherwise seriously wounded.
Come on, it´s safe dude
Your icon says otherwise…
I like the ambiguous nature.
The X could be the one safe spot to stand.
It could also be the point of aim/impact and therefore be the worst place to be. The area clearly marked is the area outside of the X.
I think the point of the experiment is to see whether or not he enters the red circle with the X.
While I love to hate Guy, I just LOVE Frank! :P
Ingenious
Wayne never learns does he?
In Franks protocol you can actually read the definition: “A safe area for the lenght of the experiment is created behind a metall door and walls made from ferroconcret.”
I’m thinking it could be a literal “safe area”
The red X is the spot where a safe will fall from the ceiling. Crushing those beneath.
Oooooh, nice!
^
It could also be a “save point”, whereto you may return whenever you die. Not that this does you any good if you reach the save point only after the door has been locked.
