LoL, my thoughts exactly. Did...did he just say...bum? You have a webcomic? Sounds good...link please Really bummed that most everything on this forum is a white box with a red X inside since all photo hosting sites are blocked where i work ;( Yeah, but I can't draw. My friends always beg me to make more and I haven't allocated any time to the task. www.drunkduck.com/Dr_Jocks_Tales_of_Misery/index.php?p=130351df1 I think your art gets the story across and has potential. You did enough to make the shots look right and believable. I've seen people with more natural talent than that not care when they messed up certain scenes and kind of leave it that way and it gets to be something you cannot get past. This works well together. I'd like to see you do more. I always believe the more someone draws, the better they get at it. I'd believe that would be true for you too. Your story didn't demand high details, just believable scenes. You did that. I'd like to see more.

This was actually a side project for my villain. I had a comic strip published for about 2 years in a local free pop culture magazine. The problem is that I can't draw. For this type of material it seems to be accepted pretty well. A local woman was coaxing me to fly out to California and present my cartoon to a South Park producer. She acted like she was edging in to be a co-creator when she had nothing to do with the concepts. Her attitude created a falling out between us and I canceled all communications with her and I have no regrets over it because it would have been a huge gamble and risked the standard of living i have now. It would have also pulled me away from my grandmother and father in the last years of their life when they needed me the most. The girl I date now is really encouraging me to start back up. I had a small network of creators, friends, and coworkers that were fans and they encouraged me to keep creating. That network has dispersed and like always, the hardest thing is allocating time and deciding that's what I want to do.
There are around 26 completed pieces that are either part of a serialized story or stand alone pieces. There are maybe about 8 more that are the beginning of some serialized storylines. There is a comic that I never prined. The start of a second comic. There are three Tales of Misery stories completed. One is so disturbing that I'll probably never print it. I think it's funny, but it's definitely twisted. I think I started a 4th Tales of Misery story that was going to be based on the Tortoise and the Hare. That story always seemed like a load of crap. I have a lot of notes and back story roughly plotted in my mind. I have some other cartoon concepts that I'd like to draw to formerly establish them as a creative concept. The hurdle for me now is taking that first step to start again and buying more drawing tools etc. I won't get better at drawing until I take the plunge. I hate plotting out the scripts ahead of time. The plotting process is like a hole in the creative bucket for me. My ideas on the fly always flow in my mind much better than when I sit down and allocate time to writing out a script.
