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.
*Jeopardy theme music*
Ah, sweet inspiration.
Ah, the cruelties of A.D.D….
Whoa whoa, what is this, continuity? In my 2GaG? Or is it just a coincidence that this happened after the last page?
Wayne isn’t depressed, sad, or ADD. He’s just sitting around waiting for inspiration to strike so he can create (draw or write).
He has done stuff like this before, so it is continuity, but not with the last strip.
I know how that is
-.-
huge bummer… annoying as hell too… maybe having Guy kick his ass will help… I know sparing with my friend helps from time to time.
Not technically continuity. For that they’d have to be closer together. You are right though, this does seem to be a Wayne theme right along with being…..well…………………Wayne I guess 0.o
I think he needs to update the clones so he can finish one thing in his life, it’s not fair that one gets so close to finishing a masterpiece that would bring the world into a new better era only for the next one to not know shit about it.
I feels as though someone saw a performance of “Waiting for Godot”…
You know, two hours ago as I first read the few most recent pages, it kinda bugged me that Guy’s eyebrows make her look perpetually angry. Now, having just finished the archives, I have discovered that this is because Guy is, in fact, perpetually angry.
I see noting wrong with the way it looks on her.
Well, neither do I, now.
I think it wouldn’t be as good without her angry brows.
At least Guy made him coffee.
it’s her coffee, she just let go of it.
I’m starting to get the feeling that there is a myriad of Wayne clones existing at once, walking around, hanging out at Frank and Guys homes, and Waynes own home, getting nothing done, and no one but Guy and Frank noticing how many there are because he gets nothing accomplished.
This is a new idea to me because i figured Frank would only let loose a new one after the last one became unusuable. But with how often that happens it would be more interesting and efficient to just let a few/bunch loose at a time.
