You know anything about the prevalence of various alleles of those genes in the population? I know that there's some work on genes associated with autistic traits that claims they're a little too common to be selected against, and I wonder if there's a similar analysis here.

Yeah, the prevalence of the gay effect allele for the five SNPs are:

73%
83%
33%
37%
90%


It might seem weird that this means most people are walking around with at least one of the five gayest genes in the world, but that's how genetics works. Each allele contributes a tiny amount to the probabilities and effect sizes of the traits. If you only have one of these 5, you're about 1% more likely to be gay. But if you have all 5 of them together, that jumps up to 25%.

To be clear, there's a lot more than 5 genes contributing. Probably thousands, but with each one having an effect so small it doesn't show up on the (ridiculously strict) statistics standards of a GWAS.

So I'm writing up the last page of this update chain of Marie (And I'm cross-posting this to all 3 threads,) and I was wondering how I was doing on the criticisms before and in general. As I sit here and make the renders for the final page of this update set (#12, and now my 95th comic,) and I wanted to get some feedback. I'd love some stuff I can mull on and use to grow. Every-time goons have had criticisms and I was able to understand and act on them, there was massive improvements. Do you guys like what you're seeing so far? Do you want more or less of something? Right now, after this fight scene I wanted to get more into who the characters are, and a bit of those feels going. Mall episode or Beach episode or something. I feel like we've had nothing but ratcheting tension, and to let things cool off a bit might be nice for another big build up.

Plus after this whole bit with Gin, it'd be another good jumping on point that people can start from.

I mean, that's entirely fair, but there was definitely a point where Steve Buscemi would be the first hit. I guess the algorithm picked up that I finally stopped forgetting his name.

I'd say just keep going. As you mentioned there's a bunch of noticeable improvement, so a review of all the criticism you've gotten and an assessment of how you've applied it may go further than even more advice. Especially if you can find a few ways that other artists use to solve what you think are your big issues, and anything that makes work more efficient. This is probably obvious stuff but assessment, foundations and research all help avoid plateau

That's where I'm at right now, I'm taking traditional art classes and it's helping a lot.

It's got about 11k views now. Goons are about half my total traffic at the moment.

tbh, your comic isn't my cup of tea, but because you're such a good sport i wish only good things for your artistic endeavors

go post it in more places too to get more views. perhaps in gbs or byob? iirc it had some sort of cyoa thing going on at some point, those things usually go well in those forums
