Yeah. Heck, let's make this a DROD comic thread.

Well, I don't want my comics to become unpopular due to the other comics covering it. You can make another topic though.

(No mod downs. I know you will disagree, but this is my topic, you know.)

I couldn't help it. I modded this down. Mod me down if you must; it was the combination of "No mods down" and the worry that Jeff_Ray didn't want his comics--of which he's posted only one--overshadowed by everyone else's just because theirs are better. Yeah, it's your topic, JR, but it'd be a little more generous to allow anyone to post in it, especially since it'd help avoid cluttering the board with hundreds of "this is my artwork" threads.

You're a bit right.

But whatever, here comes Comic 1 Hand-Drawn! Hope you enjoy the art a bit more.

Secreted for space.

Yes, it grows quite large, so you might best shut the tag when you're done looking at it.

I preferred the one that was done on the computer.

Not saying I've particularly enjoyed anything in this thread.

I agree with Zex. I don't really see any graphical diference, except for the fact that this version has no colour, and is a bit more crudely drawn.

Not to mention the hand-drawn one is about 1,000,000,000 times larger.

Vittro - I like the comic, but I think you should put it in secret tags since it contains a spoiler.

Implent a better story into your comic! A green blob chasing away a roach could be a part of the plot but if it's the complete plot, many people won't see a point in the comic.

Do some comics that are actually good... I know it sounds cruel, but in that case noone will care wether it's made on the computer or hand-drawn.

I apologize for making such a comment, it's just that each person can do some thing and can't do others... If this is the best you can do, I believe you should stop trying.

(BTW, that's exactly the reason why I never did anything that required drawing)

Whoa, hey now.

First of all: if it makes you happy, you should do it, regardless of how "good" or "bad" you are. I suspect I'm a truly terrible singer, but I sing in the shower because it makes me happy. (Now, there is a converse: I don't sing in public, because my singing isn't especially well-received. You might some day decide to stop sharing your comics; but that doesn't mean you should stop drawing them.)

Second of all: everything takes practice and experience. I've heard any number of writers laugh at reviews that refer to their debut published work as a "first novel"--they always say that, no, this is their first published novel, but it's novel six or seven, usually, because the first five or six they wrote were terrible and are now safely locked in a trunk under the bed. If this is the best you can do, keep improving (which I'd say to anyone, no matter how accomplished they are; one should always keep improving).

So ignore Dex's rather uncalled-for comment. Now, that said, I have to admit that I don't particularly like this first comic of yours; style aside, there's just not much to it, contentwise. That's my opinion; that doesn't mean you should stop.

As a non-professional computer artist, I can attest that I didn't just start out making the few style modifications right away. I had to practice drawing a lot before I got even basic structures looking right, and as you have probably already seen, my styles are definitely not as high-quality as the originals.

While I don't think these are as high quality as, say, Erik's drawings, I do think you have a lot of potential and can produce some good artwork if you just spend more time on your artwork.

You don't need art skill if you can get by with writing.

People keep bringing up xkcd in discussions like this, but xkcd doesn't have bad art. Xkcd has simple art. There's a difference; there's comics out there with more advanced art which nevertheless has worse art than xkcd. In fact, I think xkcd's art fits perfectly. Those little stick figures of his can be really expressive.

Writing is of course important, but comics are both art and writing. A comic can concentrate on one more than the other, but a good comic should have at least a minimum of both.

Anyways, creativity should never be discouraged. This world would be a horribly boring place without it! If at first you don't succeed, &c.
