You guys seem really critical of webcomics, and I'm kind of worried that people are just being nice and avoiding saying anything really mean about my stuff. Would it be alright if I posted my webcomic here along with everyone else posting episodic stuff like Pupkin and HFD? The art radically changes, because when I started drawing it, I also started practicing for hours a day, and people in the Webcomic thread in BYOB would PM me tips and stuff that I used almost immediately to try and make my art better.

This is what it looks like in the beginning:



And this is what it looked like last week:



If I did start posting, I wouldn't want to be intrusive, so I'd keep everything timg'd. Though if you have any opinions (even negative ones!) I'd love to hear them.

no one should post long episodic comics itt, but only self-contained strips

pupkin is fine because the strips are so short

you have improved technically more in few weeks than some professional webcomic artists have in over 20 years, but i don't think that your comic is a good fit here

HfD is the opposite of this and is still seems welcome in this thread though?

Thank you, before I started drawing, I did some 3D modeling, and I just kind of combined the two when I got into art, but the problem was for weeks and months I couldn't understand why even though I was tracing the models, it still looked blobby and lovely, then I learned to build ontop of what I was drawing instead of just tracing directly, after that, it was just practice practice practice. It takes me forever to finally learn how to draw an eye properly, and I still gently caress it up, and drawing the same face multiple times seems impossible some days. Still I'm proud of it, and I want to show it off. I'm not very successful off-site (5 subscribers on webtoons, 0 on tapas) but people on the forums seems to love it! I mostly wanted to share it to get some feedback on the writing and stuff, but honestly, this isn't a "Help Boba Make a Webcomic" thread, and I keep trying to turn every thread even loosely related to comics into that. If people don't want me to post it, then I definitely won't, but I guess if more people do then don't then I would? I dunno.

Still, thank you for the kind words, I started drawing last year. Like my first drawing looked like this:



and then after about a year of practice, it started to look like this:



Then I got in touch with some art goons who really helped me out, I also did Draw A Box pretty much every day. Like if people ask me how to get started drawing, I tell them to do what I did which was draw 250 boxes lol, that had the biggest jump in quality more then anything else.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I think a big Thorsby thing is when you see something that long with a dodgy art style you expect something overwrought and awful, but that it's the kind of black comedy that actually fairly suits it is a surprise.

im permabanned poster oyvindstomper58. i first started reading hitmen for destiny when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "destiny" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "i like killing monsters" and "i am very skilled in lesbianism" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "destiny" style of thorsby's humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" hfd to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.
